If the Second Prince needed them to escort him back to the capital, they would just obey orders and handle official matters impartially. No one wanted to get involved in the prince's dispute.

After finishing the communication with Song Xuan and his sister, the Second Prince looked majestically at several high-ranking officials of the Imperial City Department in Tiannan Territory, and his eyes fell on the pacification envoy.

"Sun Zhenfu, it's been a hundred years since I last saw you in the imperial capital, right?"

The pacification envoy bowed and said, "Your Highness has a good memory. I met Your Highness once when I came to the capital to report on my work. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, it has been a hundred years."

After a brief pause, he continued, "Your Highness's return is naturally a cause for celebration, but there is one thing I would like your Highness to clarify. What is the current situation of my Inspector General Zhou Changshou and Captain Luo Chang'an?"

"died!"

The Second Prince had an indifferent expression and said calmly, "They died in the secret realm. Not only did they die, but even my four great guards died in there.

If it weren't for the Song Wanhu brothers and sisters who risked their lives to rescue me, this prince would have perished too!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pacification envoy's expression changed, and when he looked at Song Xuan, there was an inexplicable expression on his face.

He didn't have any special thoughts about the deaths of Zhou Changshou and Luo Changan. In the Tiannan region, especially in the Southwest Province, death was too common.

Even the prince's four guardians could die. Zhou Changshou was not as strong as them, so his death was normal.

But what he couldn't understand was how the Song siblings, who were said to have entered the fusion realm not long ago, had managed to not only save their lives but also rescue the prince.

This achievement is incredible!

No matter how the Second Prince and the Crown Prince fight secretly, a prince is still a prince. Saving a prince is a great achievement. Even if it is for the sake of the royal family's face, His Majesty will certainly reward him generously.

In almost a short period of time, he had already figured out Song Xuan's next position.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Imperial City Administration will issue an appointment letter soon, and Zhou Changshou's position as Inspector will probably fall on Song Xuan.

After a brief chat with the pacification envoy, the Second Prince clasped his fists and looked at Song Xuan, "Brother Song, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I need to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible and cannot linger here any longer.

Don't worry, I will always remember your life-saving grace and will give you everything I deserve!"

After saying a few polite words, the second prince did not waste any more time. He activated the power of the Tao Fruit and teleported away from here.

Chapter 714 is not funny at all!

After the second prince left, the pacification envoy looked at Song Xuan with a smile.

"Congratulations, Master Song!"

Song Xuan's face was calm, and he just smiled slightly, "You are joking, my lord. It's just a fluke, it's nothing."

"Haha, young man, being too modest is not a good thing!"

The pacification envoy waved his sleeves and said, "Since the matter has been concluded, let's go back. The imperial border has been unstable recently. The army of the Demon Yuan Dynasty clashed with our border troops, and many people died.

Although our Imperial City Division does not need to go directly to the battlefield, we must not slack off in maintaining internal stability!

During this special period, if you discover any spies from the Demonic Yuan, you must deal with them immediately, even if you can kill them first and report to them later!"

Several other officials from the Imperial City Department immediately accepted the order, "We will obey your orders, sir!"

Song Xuan said goodbye and said, "In that case, I'll see you all later. We'll go back first!"

Having said that, without caring about other people's reactions, Song Xuan and the other two took a step forward and their figures disappeared into the sky. The speed was so fast that even the pacification envoy was slightly startled.

An official whispered, "It's not teleportation, it's just pure evasion speed. Even a late-stage fusion expert wouldn't be able to match their speed!"

The pacification envoy nodded slightly. "As expected of an elder from an eighth-level sect, their background is truly extraordinary. It seems they were able to rescue the Second Prince, and it wasn't all luck!"

Someone asked, "It's estimated that Song Xuan will soon replace Zhou Changshou as the Supervisory Commissioner. Sir, should we strengthen our relationship with him in advance?"

The pacification envoy shook his head and said, "After this incident, Song Xuan will be labeled as the Second Prince by the Imperial Capital. Regardless of whether he is the Second Prince's man or not, the Imperial Capital will regard him as such.

As for the battle for the throne, we should just watch from the sidelines and never get involved. Of course, if you are a Mahayana stage old monster, just ignore what I said! "

A few people laughed awkwardly.

An old monster in the Mahayana stage?

The world of all spirits is too big. To be honest, there are quite a few powerful people in the fusion stage in this world, and there are also many people at the peak of fusion. However, if you want to achieve the perfection of Taoism and be promoted to Mahayana, that is another chasm.

Without a solid foundation, great luck, and great wisdom, if you want to advance to Mahayana, it will be like passing through the gate of hell. There are many great people who die because their Tao fruits are not perfect and flawless when they try to break through.

For example, the pacification envoy has been at the peak of the fusion realm for many years, but he has been hesitant to try to take that step, and is still desperately accumulating and deepening his foundation.

From this we can see how difficult it is to advance to the Mahayana stage.

.....

After returning to his residence, Song Xuan lay on the bench in the yard and continued to study the formation book.

Song Qian was even busier. While adding medicinal materials to the alchemy furnace to improve her alchemy skills, she also held the formation secret book in her hand and made a few formation flags by herself from time to time.

Even Song Qian could spare some time to chat with Song Xuan.

"Brother, hasn't my sister-in-law made a breakthrough yet?"

"Just contacted, still in seclusion."

Song Xuan sighed, "You also know that when she was promoted to Grandmaster, although she managed to condense the third flower, it was not perfect. And this imperfection became more and more obvious the later she got.

If she wants to condense the Supreme Heavenly Demonic Fruit, she must make up for this slight flaw.

The time and energy required are far more difficult than when we first broke through!

As for when she will be able to break through, it's hard to say!"

Song Qian said, "I don't understand the devil's way, but I know that my sister-in-law's devil's way is truly extraordinary. Her way is somewhat unacceptable to heaven and earth! I'm afraid it will be very difficult for her to transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven in the future."

Song Xuan shook his head and sighed, "There's nothing I can do about it. Back then, I didn't expect that in just a moment, she would actually create a demonic incarnation. She can't stop on this path!"

Victoria Song rolled her eyes.

Just for a moment, is that just a moment?

You really think I haven't heard of the corner?

After a brief silence, Victoria Song spoke again, "Brother, I just used the identity compass to look for information about the prince, but I found nothing, just a blank.

It seems that the Fortune Compass does not allow outsiders to inquire about the information of the royal family."

"Stop checking!"

Song Xuan waved his hand. "You're using someone else's things to investigate their background. It would be strange if you could find anything!"

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip for communication and said, "I'll ask our Grand Elder Li Hanshu. This is when connections become crucial!"

Soon, Li Hanshu, the Grand Elder of Hunyuan Sect, sent a message, "Why are you asking about the prince's situation?

Song Xuan, I tell you, we should not interfere in the affairs between the princes. Even if we stand on the right side, we can't become a ninth-level sect, but if we stand on the wrong side, the entire mountain gate will be razed to the ground!

The disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, the loss outweighs the gain!

By the way, I have something to tell you. Not long ago, a new group of warriors came to your Great Zhou and joined the sect. Among them was one named Zhang Sanfeng, who was very powerful and had an extremely strong foundation!

Not long after he entered the door, he condensed the Dao Fruit and advanced to the Heavenly Man Realm. When I fought with him, he beat me up badly. I was no match for him at all!

"After becoming celestial beings, wouldn't all the warriors of your Great Zhou be so ridiculously strong?"

Song Xuan replied with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated. Even though we are both at the Heavenly Man Realm, Zhang Sanfeng is one of the top ones. There are only a handful of such people in the entire Great Zhou."

"What a pity!" Li Hanshu said with some regret, "If everyone was as powerful as Zhang Sanfeng, our Hunyuan Sect might have a chance to reach the threshold of becoming a ninth-level sect!"

Song Xuan: "Do you really want the sect to be promoted to level nine?"

Li Hanshu: "Nonsense, how could I not think about it! After reaching the ninth level, the sect's sphere of influence will expand, and the number of resource planets it can control will increase tenfold.

Not only that, the sect's luck will also improve. In short, there are many benefits. It's a pity that the ancestor has been unable to break through the Mahayana stage. Without the Mahayana stage, we can't even touch the threshold of the ninth level!"

Song Xuan's expression changed, and he smiled and said, "As long as there is a Mahayana stage, he can be promoted to the ninth level?"

Li Hanshu: "It's not that simple. With a Mahayana stage old monster in charge, it can only be said that he is qualified to challenge the ninth level.

You must know that the ninth-level sect was not canonized by the dynasty, but was fought out step by step in the sect conference of the Wanling World!

To put it bluntly, if you become level nine, it means that other level nine sects will fall from the altar, and part of their sphere of influence will be divided up by the new level nine sects.

To be honest, even if the ancestor of our Hunyuan Sect is promoted to the Mahayana stage, I don’t think we can compete with those old-fashioned Mahayana sects, and the possibility of us becoming a ninth-level sect is slim.

Actually, my requirements are not high. If you have more martial arts masters in your Great Zhou, we can challenge the first sect below the ninth level, which is not impossible! "

Song Xuan was silent for a moment, then replied, "I think, First Master, you might as well be bolder. We must not only strive for the ninth level, but also become the strongest ninth-level sect!"

Li Hanshu: "Stop joking, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"

Song Xuan: "Not long ago, I just killed a Mahayana stage monster!"

Li Hanshu: “…”

"Enough joking, it's not funny at all!"

Chapter 715: When we meet next time, you must call me ancestor!

Song Xuan: "Isn't it funny? I think it's quite funny, hahaha..."

Li Hanshu: "Your joke is quite funny, haha."

Song Xuan: "No, I'm laughing at you. I think you're quite funny!"

silence.

There was no response from the other end of the communication jade slip for a long time.

Just as Song Xuan was about to put away the jade slip, it suddenly lit up. Song Xuan swept his spiritual sense over it and heard Li Hanshu's voice.

Li Hanshu: "Ancestor!"

Song Xuan: "Don't call me ancestor, I'm not your ancestor!"

"No, you are! Ancestor, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

Song Xuan: "Be more restrained, I still like your rebellious look just now!"

Li Hanshu: "Old Ancestor, you are joking. I have already restrained myself. If you were to replace other sects with an old ancestor like you, their flattery would be even more exaggerated than mine!

By the way, the term "kneeling and licking" was brought to our sect by warriors from your hometown, the Great Zhou World. I have to say, the people from your hometown are all talented and speak well, which is really amazing!

Song Xuan: "What's their situation now?"

Li Hanshu: "After Zhang Sanfeng became a celestial being, he traveled abroad. I dare not stop the old Taoist from going anywhere.

As for the others, since they came to the sect, they have been like evil spirits, frantically accepting sect tasks in exchange for resources, saying that their foundation is not solid enough and needs to be polished for another sixty years.

I just don't understand. With their current strength, they can fight against the great cultivators in the sect who are in the Spirit Severing stage. After condensing the Heavenly Dao Fruit, they will definitely be at the initial stage of the Fusion.

Are you still not satisfied with this?"

Song Xuan sighed, "There are some regrets you don't understand. Don't worry about their affairs. They won't break through unless they push themselves to their limits!"

Those who failed to become the Grandmaster of the Three Flowers were probably regretted for the rest of their lives. This regret can only be made up for little by little in subsequent practice.

They will definitely not listen to other people's advice.

Li Hanshu: "Okay, listen to the ancestor. Don't worry, we are family. I will do my best to take care of them within my authority!

That’s the one, that…”

"What is that?"

"Old Ancestor, did you really kill a Mahayana monster?"

Li Hanshu's voice was a little nervous. "I don't mean to question your intention, Old Ancestor. It's simply too incredible. A being in the Mahayana stage has already achieved the perfect Dao Fruit. Theoretically, apart from heavenly tribulations, in the Myriad Spirits World, that is synonymous with immortality."

Song Xuan: "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible to kill him. So I used some unspeakable means, and I was somewhat lucky."

Li Hanshu: "No matter what means you use, to be able to kill a Mahayana existence, your strength is unquestionable!

There's still about sixty years until the next round of the Wanling World Sect Conference. Old Ancestor, what do you think? Should we maintain our eighth-level status, or strive for a ninth-level sect?"

"Sixty years?"

Song Xuan's expression turned a little strange. "Excuse me, are there any level ten sects in this world?"

Li Hanshu: “Yes!”

Song Xuan was stunned. "Really? Which ones are they?"

Li Hanshu: "Ancestor, those seven great dynasties are nothing more than level ten sects! In the beginning, there were no dynasties. Only after the seven level nine sects seized the national treasure did dynasties come into being.

From the perspective of the sect, they are a level ten sect, which is also the ultimate form of the sect!"
