Cheng Longyuan’s pupils constricted slightly when he heard the old king’s words.
After a moment of silence, the First Prince of South Chu asked softly, “”Then, he came here now…”
“Maybe it’s just to calm our hearts.” The old prince shook his head.
Cheng Longyuan said slowly, “In other words, he might have a big move next…” Is it related to Xian Tian Palace?”
Cheng Longyuan had never let down his guard against Cheng Ying Tian.
Although he didn’t know the truth about Cheng Ying Tian’s background, he had already heard about Cheng Ying Tian’s involvement in the Xian Tian Palace’s internal strife half a year ago.
Now that Xian Tian Palace seemed to have some new movements, and Cheng Ying Tian had also come out, Cheng Long Yuan naturally guessed the relationship between the two.
‘ He has broken through his bottleneck and his strength has improved greatly. However, he is a smart person. With His Majesty around, it is difficult for him to stir up a storm, even if His Majesty is in seclusion. ” “If there’s any action, it’s outside, not inside,” said the old prince, Cheng Jiongting.
Cheng Longyuan frowned. ” Father is in seclusion. The people from the Wilderness, Heavenly River, and Eastern Zhou are busy in the southern border… ”
The old king nodded. ” I need to stay in the Imperial City and not act rashly. However, we can’t take this matter lightly. At the very least, we have to find out what’s going on.
Ying Tian’s cultivation base has improved greatly, even I don’t have the confidence to suppress him. The others who tried to investigate have no hope, so we can only look at Little Seven and the others.”
Cheng Longyuan nodded silently.
The ” Little Seven ” that the old man mentioned was not small at all to Cheng Longyuan. He was referring to his Seventh Imperial Uncle, Prince Qing Ling of the South Chu Dynasty, Cheng Ye, who was ranked as one of the four peak
Martial Saints of the South Chu along with the old prince, Cheng Jiongting.
Although his strength was inferior to Qiantang King Cheng Jiongting, he was still a top expert of the eighteenth realm and one of the core pillars of the South Chu Empire.
Of course, after Cheng Ying Tian’s cultivation had broken through to the eighteenth realm, the previous four could be changed to five.
“I’ll go and invite Seventh Imperial Uncle.” Cheng Longyuan said.
” Yes. ” The old prince Cheng Jiongting nodded. ” Little Seven is steady. He is indeed the most suitable. ‘
Although they hadn’t fought, Cheng Ying Tian gave off an unfathomable feeling.
The old king suspected that other than him and the Chu Emperor, the others in the South Chu were no longer a match for that young man.
Unfortunately, it was not convenient for him to personally take action at the moment.
However, the changes between Cheng Ying Tian and Xian Tian Palace had to be investigated thoroughly. This matter could only be handled by others.
If the person in charge underestimated Cheng Ying Tian and blindly attacked, he might suffer a great loss or fall into a trap.
Qing Ling King Cheng Ye had a calm and peaceful personality, and was relatively less competitive.
Be it the Chu Emperor Cheng Hui, Cheng Jiongting, or Cheng Longyuan, they all trusted Cheng Ye and entrusted him with important tasks.
Right now, he was in Southern Border, monitoring the situation in the Wilderness.
But now, the situation between Cheng Ying Tian and Xian Tian Palace was unclear, Cheng Ye was the most suitable person to investigate the truth.
” Old granduncle, during the internal strife in the Xian Tian Palace, other than Cheng Ying Tian, Chen Luoyang from the Ancient Gods Clan also appeared. ‘ Cheng Longyuan said as he pondered.
The old king sighed. ” It’s a troubled time. Tell Little Seven to be wary of the Ancient Gods Clan.
“Yes.” Cheng Longyuan replied and left the hall to find Qing Ling King Cheng
The old prince’s eyelids drooped. His elbows rested on the table as he dozed off again.
A long sigh echoed in the hall, filled with regret.
Among the younger generation of South Chu, the eldest son of the emperor, Cheng Longyuan, was already very outstanding. He was one of the leading figures of the younger generation.
Recently, Cheng Longyuan’s cultivation had also improved. He was not far from the 17th realm, and a breakthrough was in sight.
But unfortunately, Cheng Ying Tian had appeared in the branch family and left him far behind.
Not to mention the difference in cultivation, Cheng Ying Tian was even more outstanding than Cheng Long Yuan in the same realm.
Moreover, in terms of age, Cheng Ying Tian was younger than Cheng Long
Yuan…
There was no longer any suspense about who the number one of the new generation in South Chu would belong to.
The Old Prince didn’t mind, nor did he have any intention of protecting Cheng Longyuan.
They were all his juniors, and they were not his direct blood relatives. No matter who took the throne, it would not affect his status.
As the most senior imperial expert in South Chu, the old king, Cheng Jiongting, was even more inclined towards Cheng Ying Tian.
To be precise, he would lean towards whoever was more outstanding.
This concerned the future of the entire South Chu.
Therefore, the Old Prince did not care about Cheng Longyuan’s current
situation.
What he cared about was that Cheng Ying Tian’s rise was too fast and too fierce, and whether or not he would have a conflict with the Chu Emperor in the future.
It was still fine for now.
However, if one day, Cheng Ying Tian broke through that natural moat and became a new powerhouse…
The old king sighed again.
In Xian Tian Palace, to most people, it was peaceful, no different from the past.
Other than the few grand elders who had gone out or entered seclusion, the other elders were still in seclusion.
These Xian Tian Palace experts who had disappeared were already outside the palace, and they had arrived at a parasol tree forest in the mountains and rivers.
The person leading the way was a youth.
This youth was dressed in Xian Tian Palace disciple uniform, his expression was calm.
It was Ji Zhong.
At this moment, he was as calm as before, but in fact, the mysterious phoenix cry that used to ring in his heart was now deafening and kept ringing.
However, the phoenix cry was crisp and pleasant to the ear. Not only did it not irritate him, but it also comforted Ji Zhong’s mind.
Only he could hear this voice.
The Saint Realm experts of Xian Tian Palace did not sense anything and could only let Ji Zhong lead the way.
Ji Zhong knew that his previous guess was correct. The few big shots in Xian Tian Palace knew about his abnormality, even more than he did.
When he had tried to ask the elders of his sect for instructions, the other party had agreed to accompany him to investigate the matter.
However, there were so many people who had come, and they were all the top experts in the palace. It was obvious that they were not ordinary and had long been prepared.
Ji Zhong even saw a few elders who were supposed to be in seclusion.
He didn’t question or resist. Instead, he followed the voice in his heart and decisively led the way.
Ji Zhong also wanted to know where the voice in his heart came from and what secrets were hidden behind it.
As for whether there would be any dangerous accidents, the youth was not worried.
On one hand, although he was young, he had long seen life and death and was not afraid of honor or disgrace.
On the other hand, in the past half a year, he had been giving special treatment to Mr. Zun every ten days. He had already given special treatment more than twenty times…
Although it might not be foolproof, at least he had done his best. Therefore, Ji Zhong was calm in his heart and only quietly distinguished the mysterious phoenix cry in his heart.
In the end, he found the Parasol Tree Forest step by step.
Behind him, the former Gantian Elder, the current Xian Tian Palace leader You Hao, was walking slowly with an expressionless face.
Beside You Hao, Elder Zhenlei Mu Chao, Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo, Elder Gen Mountain Xue Hongxun, and the current number one of the younger generation of Xian Tian Palace, Wang Zhang, could be seen.
Apart from them, the newly appointed Li Huo Elder Wang Mingshou and Elder Wang followed closely behind.
Although Elder Nie Guanhe, Elder Shen Tuhou, and Elder Shi Rong stayed behind to preside over Xian Tian Palace, most of the other top experts in the palace were mobilized.
The line-up of all Martial Saints did not show off on the outside, but on the inside, it was very oppressive.
At this moment, everyone was silent, quietly waiting for Ji Zhong’s movements.
After Ji Zhong stopped in the Parasol Tree Forest for a long time, he set off again.
You Hao and the others immediately followed.
At this moment, Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo reported to You Hao in a low voice,” There seems to be some movement at the South Chu side. The Ancient Gods Clan’s Chen Luoyang has gone missing after leaving the headquarters.
Theoretically speaking, if one or two people secretly brought Ji Zhong out to search, it would be more beneficial to hide the news.
If a large number of experts were to move out together, it would instead attract attention.
It was better to hide today’s matter as much as possible.
No one knew about it, which was the best protection.
However, when Chen Luoyang and Cheng Ying Tian had strangely intervened in the internal strife of the Xian Tian Palace, You Hao and the others were uncertain. They didn’t know how much they knew about Ji Zhong’s matter.
Especially Cheng Ying Tian.
Both Chen Luoyang and Cheng Ying Tian had extraordinary strength.
And the divination they had previously measured was unpredictable, and there was a looming danger…
Xian Tian Palace had no choice but to send out a large number of experts just in case.
At the same time, they had no idea what was going on in the legendary Innate Tomb, so they could only try their best to make preparations.
When necessary, he would not hesitate to tight head-on.
Back then, when the Xian Tian Palace overthrew the Shan Family, it was all for this day. Today’s events would affect the future of the Xian Tian Palace and they could not afford to fail. You Hao and the rest could only cast aside their worries and give it their all.
“Focus on the present and be vigilant at all times.” You Hao said.
Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo nodded and said nothing more.
The eyes of the few elders faintly showed the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram as they calculated the details of today’s trip.
It did not mean that they could avoid disaster.
On the contrary, the Xian Tian Palace people were actually wary of others deceiving their senses, causing them to misjudge their luck.
You Hao knew very well that Cheng Ying Tian was the son of Mister Tianji, and he was a pure disciple of Xian Tian Palace, and his attainments were definitely not inferior to his South Chu Glory Score.
The Ancient Gods Clan’s Fuxi Yi Tian Chapter was also extraordinary.
Even though the Xian Tian Palace did not acknowledge that it was the Fuxi’s true lineage, they had never underestimated it.
Today’s matter was of great importance, so they could not be too careful.
At this moment, deep within the Parasol Tree Forest, Ji Zhong, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Everyone from Xian Tian Palace frowned.
They all realized that Ji Zhong seemed to be different from before.
While everyone was vigilant of the outside world, they hurriedly went forward to check.
The Connate Eight Trigrams also appeared in Ji Zhong’s eyes, and they were bright.
His gaze gradually solidified and landed on the ground in front of him.
You Hao and the others held their breaths.
The scene in front of him was not caused by Ji Zhong’s current cultivation realm. It should be a mutation in his body.
Ji Zhong looked around. The ground in the parasol tree forest had turned transparent like water.
Everyone looked down from above and found that they were looking up at the sky..
