I quit the sect and became a demon cultivator. Master and Sister kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

In the smoke and dust, the man broke the sword's force with one palm, and his realm was even higher than Yun Xiao's.

Li Changqing landed, his expression solemn. After taking a closer look at the person, he said coldly, "Commander Yang?"

The person who came was Yang Jinghu, the right commander of the Demon Suppression Division, the third in command of the Demon Suppression Division and Gu Yanting's confidant.

Unlike Yun Xiao's arrogance, Yang Jinghu is not well-known either in the capital or in the martial arts world, but he is very worldly-wise.

He smiled warmly and said, "Seeing the Sixth Prince's elegance again, he is truly like a god. Jinghu admires him deeply!"

Li Changqing looked at him coldly, knowing that he must have a purpose and unwilling to give in. "Commander Yang, just speak frankly!"

Yang Jinghu paused, a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile, "We are all colleagues from the Demon Suppression Division. Sixth Prince, please don't kill them all, haha!"

Li Changqing frowned, having guessed his intentions long ago. "Commander Yang, are you here to plead for him, or to lend a hand?"

Yang Jinghu was terrified and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is overly suspicious. Following the orders of Gu Sizheng, I am bringing Commander Yun back to the Divine Capital!"

Ever since Yun Xiao left the Divine Capital, Gu Yanting knew that he was going there to kill Li Changqing. Of course, he could pretend not to know.

Even the emperor turned a blind eye!

But if the Left Commander in Chief of the Demon Suppression Division really died, it would not be a trivial matter, not to mention that the Yun family would not give in and would even cause trouble in the palace.

As the chief judge, it is inevitable that he will fail to supervise the matter.

The relationships within the court were complicated, and Li Zhan was particularly dissatisfied with the Demon Suppression Division's involvement in the internal struggles for imperial power, so he wanted to avoid any further trouble.

Yun Xiao's position is below his, but his foundation is too deep. Even though he has sided with the Second Prince, he cannot die at his hands.

Emperor Li Zhan turned a blind eye and let Yun Xiao leave the capital without permission. Wasn't he just waiting to catch him, the Chief Justice, with something to hold against him?

Li Changqing stared at Yang Jinghu coldly.

"He's secretly communicating with the Xuanyuan clan and wants to kill me at Xuanyuan Lake. Are we just going to let it go like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling'er, Xin Xueyi, and Meng Ling quietly deployed their formation.

Once Li Changqing takes action, they will kill Yang Jinghu and Yun Xiao without hesitation.

Yang Jinghu could hear the murderous intent in Li Changqing's words, but he still smiled. "Sixth Prince, please be patient. Jinghu is here with Commander Yun to investigate the incident at Luanhun Mountain!"

"If there is any tendency to overstep the bounds, it will be reported truthfully, and Gu Sizheng will also come to the palace to see the emperor!"

Li Changqing snorted disdainfully, "Investigation? Making a big fuss and bluffing, and then making a big deal out of a small matter and then making a small matter disappear?"

The person has been taken away, and whether he is guilty or not is just a matter of one word. Given the status of the Yun family, can they really kill Yun Xiao?

Yang Jinghu bowed and whispered, "Sixth Prince, please excuse me for a moment!"

He then pulled Li Changqing aside, and although his words were tactful, they were also very sincere.

"The Emperor must be well aware of the incident at Luanhun Mountain. As for whether he's using the investigation to build up strength, the Emperor has his own considerations, and it's inappropriate for a minister to speculate!"

"Similarly, the First and Second Princes took advantage of the Chaos Soul Slayer to kill Your Highness. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, let alone the Emperor!"

"The key to royal power lies in checks and balances. Now that the princes are in a three-way balance of power, I don't think the emperor will do anything to Your Highness!"

He changed the subject.

"But if Yun Xiao is killed, things will be different. The Demon Suppression Division is the emperor's personal guard, and Yun Xiao is the left commander, second only to the Chief!"

"The Emperor is very dissatisfied with the Demon Suppression Division's involvement in the factional strife. He will make his own decision. Your Highness, why bother to kill him? Breaking the balance will be a favor to the Chief Justice!"

Li Changqing sneered, "When Commander Yang came, I knew I couldn't kill Yun Xiao today, so I gave Commander Yang some face and let you take him away!"

He wanted to kill Yun Xiao, but what Yang Jinghu said did make sense.

Besides, with his ambition, Yun Xiao is just a clown to him. Killing him or not will not make any difference!

Yang Jinghu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Sixth Prince, for your consideration. I have personally submitted the list of personnel from the nine ministries you submitted to the Chief Justice, and they have all been approved. Your Highness can rest assured!"

After saying that, he helped Yun Xiao up, took Yu Cang with him, and flew away into the sky.

Xin Xueyi said indignantly, "Changqing, you're letting him go just like that? That's not your character!"

Li Changqing spread his hands. "Yang Jinghu came here alone, which shows his sincerity. If he really wanted to snatch him away, even if the Demon Suppression Division came out in full force, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stop him!"

Ye Ling'er snorted, "Who said that? Why not just kill Yun Xiao before they snatch him away?"

Li Changqing said quietly, "I've been in a trance all my life, using the excuse of investigating a case to accumulate strength. Now I can just wander within the rules of imperial power!"

"Besides, Gu Yanting wants to protect himself and doesn't want to get involved too much in power struggles, so I'll grant his wish. He has no ill will towards me!"

After hearing what he said, Ye Ling'er and Xin Xueyi had no choice but to give up.

After Yang Jinghu brought Yun Xiao back to the capital, Li Zhan asked about the incident at Luanhun Mountain and severely reprimanded Yun Xiao.

The head of the Yun family personally came forward to plead for mercy, and fined him three years' salary, confined him to his home for a month, and ordered him to reflect on his actions.

Gu Yanting was fined half a year's salary for negligence!

As Li Changqing expected, the board was raised high and dropped gently, like a child's play.

But Li Zhan knew very well that the genius of the Yun family and the left commander of the Demon Suppression Division had not revealed any information about the second prince even after the emperor was furious.

It can be seen that they had a very detailed plan, and when they saw the two concubines of the Hehuan Sect instigating them in the harem, they became even more wary.

This is a later story.

Xuanyuan Lake, Xuanyuan Xincheng walked over, "Sixth Prince, I entrust Zhishui to you!"

He felt relieved that Li Changqing was fine.

Li Changqing glanced sideways and said, "Zhishui is protected by two girls, so he should be fine. Senior Xuanyuan wants to kill Ancestor Xuanyuan. Since I'm here, I have to help!"

Xuanyuan Xincheng sighed, "I appreciate your kindness, but I want to settle this feud myself!"

"Besides, Patriarch Xuanyuan has been at the peak of the Great Sage for many years. I'm afraid there are no more than ten people in this world who can rival him!"

"Sixth Prince, please do not take any risks and fight against the Xuanyuan Patriarch. I will clear a path for you at Xuanyuan Lake!"

"When the time comes, Sixth Prince will take Shishui away!"

After saying this, he politely said to Li Shang and Wu Ai, "After we leave Xuanyuan Lake, I hope you two girls will give me your support!"

Xuanyuan Xincheng's eyesight is so sharp that it is enough to save Xuanyuan Zhishui, Li Shang and Wu Ai, but it seems unlikely to break out of Xuanyuan Lake!

We still need to place our hopes on Li Changqing.

It would be fine if he killed the Xuanyuan ancestor, and the Xuanyuan family would all belong to Xuanyuan Zhishui. If he couldn't kill him, Xuanyuan Zhishui would probably have to wander around the world without a backer, and it would be extremely difficult.

Li Changqing neither agreed nor disagreed.

Xuanyuan Xincheng bowed, stepped into the air, and disappeared from sight in an instant.

A moment later, a voice rang out from the sky, "Xuanyuan Xincheng is here to see the ancestor!"

Li Changqing tilted his head and asked, "Miss Zhishui, Xuanyuan Patriarch is cultivating in Xuanyuan Lake. He wants to use your heart to cultivate. How can he do that?"

Xuanyuan Zhishui looked at him doubtfully, "Of course, it's using the Xuanyuan Sky Plate to draw the power of the Xuanyuan Stele. What do you mean by that, Sixth Prince?"
