How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

In the distant Yin-Yang City, mist surged and spread, and the dark color gathered like condensed clouds, suddenly swirling above the entire Yin-Yang City.

Guo Jingtian, who was originally suppressed on the ground, saw the thick fog gather again and shouted as if he had gone mad.

"Hahaha, they've come! You're all going to die!"

His words, once spoken, resonated like thunder in the hearts of all the brilliant minds present.

All the prodigies felt a tremor in their hearts, their faces solemn, and they looked at the boundless fog with extreme vigilance, as if they were afraid that some terrifying demon god would emerge again.

Only Li Muyun remained calm, staring blankly at Yin Yang City, his eyes lowered, as if deep in thought.

A strange and enchanting fragrance spread out, sweeping across the entire Yin-Yang City, instantly immersing the city in a hazy, floral atmosphere.

The proud sons of the Tang Dynasty were stunned by the smell and stood there, at a loss for what to do.

This fragrance is very similar to that of the Heavenly Fragrance Flower, which is extremely difficult to grow but has a captivating aroma and a mesmerizing shape. It grows only in the area surrounding the imperial city and is hailed as the national flower of the Tang Dynasty.

In the capital city, when the flowers bloom, the fragrance of the Heavenly Fragrance Flower fills the air, permeating the entire city.

But this is the lair of the Yangshen Temple, the boundless ghost land of Yin-Yang City. How could there be the scent of the Heavenly Fragrance Flower here, and so strong at that!

Amidst the swirling mist, a figure clad in golden armor and riding a jade dragon slowly emerged, his domineering gaze coldly surveying the crowd present.

"You are all very good, truly living up to your reputation as prodigies, especially you, Li Muyun, I was right about you. It's just a pity..."

The Crown Prince, clad in golden armor, hovered in the sky amidst the roaring dragon beneath his feet, as dazzling and domineering as the blazing sun, his true dragon breath bursting forth as he spoke coldly.

Many prodigies stared in disbelief at the scene before them, their hearts pounding.

Crown Prince!

The most popular dark horse in this year's National College Entrance Examination!

It was actually the mastermind behind it all!

In an instant, the geniuses of the other three great empires were all filled with indignation, roaring and shouting.

They were completely deceived from beginning to end!

On the one hand, he helped the Tang Dynasty eliminate the remnants of the Yangshen Temple, but unexpectedly, in the end, it would cost him his life.

The Tang Dynasty truly employed a brilliant strategy of killing two birds with one stone, and then cooking the hunting dog after the cunning rabbit is caught!

"Crown Prince, you despicable and shameless villain! Your Tang Dynasty is also a despicable nation!"

"Breaking his promise and using this method to murder a prodigy, isn't Emperor Li afraid of divine retribution?!"

"I am the son of the Grand Marquis of the Kaiyuan Empire! How dare you kill me! Aren't you afraid of starting a war and having three great empires besiege your Tang Dynasty?!"

……

A series of increasingly furious roars and howls erupted, and the many prodigies had completely broken down.

Having endured countless hardships and faced life-or-death situations along the way, he never imagined that all his efforts would benefit others, and in the end, he could not escape his own fate of death.

Li Muyun's expression was extremely complicated. Although he had expected it, considering the Crown Prince's previous voluntary withdrawal and the actions of the Immortal Seeking Pavilion, etc.

The Crown Prince knows far more inside information than the King of Qin, and this time he has even set a trap to harm everyone.

But why? Whose will is this?

"Why did you do this? Provoking the wrath of the three great empires? Colluding with the Yangshen Temple? Don't you think you've gone too far this time?!"

Li Muyun spoke coldly, gazing at the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace in the distance. Anger surged in his heart, and he stood firmly in the group of prodigies.

The Crown Prince stood coldly in the air, the fragrance of the Heavenly Fragrance Flower emanating from his golden armor, growing ever stronger and more intense. He remained silent in the face of the crowd's angry questions.

It wasn't until Li Muyun spoke that the Crown Prince seemed to finally wake up.

"The dead don't need to know why, but you are, all of you are!"

Every word he uttered exuded confidence, domineering attitude, and utter arrogance.

The Crown Prince glanced at the crowd with an indifferent expression, his words revealing that he didn't take any of these prodigies seriously at all!

The anger in the hearts of many geniuses was instantly ignited, and their auras surged forth fiercely, ready to teach the arrogant Crown Prince a lesson.

However, His Highness the Prince of Qin, a prodigy among the elite, became increasingly hesitant and indecisive.

As the crown prince, who is vying with the Crown Prince for the throne, he has virtually no room for error.

A single misstep could be exploited by the Crown Prince, potentially plunging one into despair and making it difficult to rise again.

Is this truly the Crown Prince's own doing? Or is it an order from the Emperor?

His Highness the King of Qin was filled with doubts. Standing among so many outstanding talents, this was an even more difficult test for him to decide.

"Brother, how long are you going to hide in the crowd?"

The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace on the horizon stared directly at His Highness the Prince of Qin in the crowd, and pointed a finger at him. Instantly, a beam of light illuminated His Highness the Prince of Qin.

Only then did the many prodigies remember that there was a crown prince among them, and they all turned their heads to look at him.

His Highness the King of Qin composed himself, looked up at the Crown Prince in the sky, and shook his head.

"I have not received any orders to harm these three great empires' prodigies..."

"Hahahaha... This is none of your business. Leave now. Your life is still of use to my Great Tang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince laughed a few times, then turned to sneer.

His Highness the King of Qin's expression hardened, and he was caught in a fierce internal struggle. After a long while, he finally made a decision, cupped his hands to the crowd around him, and transformed into a streak of light that disappeared into the horizon.

Upon seeing this scene, a shadow crossed the Crown Prince's eyes.

If the King of Qin hadn't left, he would have had leverage over him, and might even have been able to severely injure the King of Qin. But unexpectedly, wasn't he the one who cared most about his reputation for benevolence and righteousness?

After clicking his tongue a few times, the Crown Prince glanced at everyone, ignoring the flustered prodigy, and looked straight at Li Muyun.

"Li Muyun, your master has already fled. Now you must submit to me and we can plot a great plan together. You still have a choice. If you don't comply, you will only face death!"

Li Muyun watched the departing Prince Qin and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If His Highness Prince Qin were truly bound by that worldly title and chose to stay and defy the imperial decree, that would be indecisiveness and a case of losing more than one gains for a small gain.

Fortunately, the King of Qin escaped in time, preventing the situation from getting worse.

As for the Crown Prince wanting to play, then let's play along with him!

"I am not worthy of the Crown Prince's hospitality. I would rather not be tricked and killed someday, and I would not even know who would do it."

A playful smile tugged at the corners of Li Muyun's lips as he gazed intently at the Crown Prince in the distance.

Let's settle the score today for the trouble that Xunxianlou caused him before.

"Fine, very well. Since you won't comply, then die!"

After the Crown Prince finished speaking, his aura soared into the sky, dragon energy intertwined and roared, and fragrance filled the air like a sea of ​​waves.
