Huang Tian is a man who can bring infinite charm to others with just his words, much like his appearance and deeds. Those who know him well will wholeheartedly invest in his revival efforts! This prince, who has stepped down from the altar, still possesses many hidden strengths.
Before him, the five Martial Saint Guards known as the Four Warriors remained silent. Compared to Lian'er's earlier rudeness, their demeanor was markedly respectful. However, everyone understood that the prince was not a petty person; his heart could encompass all rivers.
As long as the advice was for his benefit, it would never provoke his anger. Everyone present knew that if Huang Tian could once again become the first heir of the Qin Empire, it would be a blessing for the empire, rather than allowing him to be a puppet controlled by a prince!
“Your Highness, Prophet,” Xie Tianyu wanted to say something more but hesitated. Huang Tian smiled at him, encouraging him to continue. He then elaborated, “As for Ye Feng, just give me one day, and I can uncover his identity. If the Prophet is worried about his ulterior motives...”
Before he could finish, Huang Tian shook his head and said, “That's not what I mean. In fact, how could I not understand your and Lian'er's good intentions? The issue lies in whether we are too reliant on others' strength from the very beginning. Is it really true that we cannot venture into the Sky Abyss Empire, which is fraught with danger?”
The meaning of this statement was simple and revealed a sense of confidence. Even though he Huang Tian was a fallen prince, he still possessed extraordinary wisdom. With this team having traversed numerous hardships to reach this final destination, would they truly stumble now?
Even if there were indeed colluding factions within Ning Cang City that conspired against the Qin Empire, how could he Huang Tian be afraid?
Xie Tianyu gritted his teeth, fully aware of the Prophet's temperament. However, this time was different; the situation in the Sky Abyss Empire was far more complex than in the previous two nations. There were many ways to fail unexpectedly; being cautious was indeed necessary!
Lian'er understood her senior brother's intentions. Having interacted with Ye Feng, she could see from his eyes that he was a good person—at least not too bad. Thus, she also attempted to advise, “Prophet, at home one relies on parents; when out, one relies on friends. I believe having Ye Feng is much better than not having him!”
Upon hearing this, even the Middle-aged Strategist became intrigued by Ye Feng. He wanted to know what kind of person could earn the joint recommendation of these two exceptionally intelligent siblings.
Huang Tian smiled and realized that perhaps the story between the three of them was far more exciting than he had imagined. He then looked at the moon and murmured, “Well then, having one more friend is not a bad thing. Since you all trust Ye Feng so much, please convey my message to him: if he can truly help me turn danger into safety, I will repay him generously in the future!”
Few people could receive such a promise from Huang Tian. Upon hearing this, both Xie Tianyu and Lian'er displayed expressions of surprise; they understood that since His Highness had said this, he would certainly follow through!
“Thank you, Prophet! I have arranged to meet him here tomorrow night. The day after tomorrow is when you will meet with the imperial family of the empire. Before that, we will ensure everything is arranged properly for your safety!”
“I trust you to handle things well. However, Xie Tianyu, there is one more thing I need you to keep in mind,” Huang Tian suddenly said. Xie Tianyu immediately straightened up and replied eagerly, “Please speak, Prophet!”
“Regarding the Dark Exchange, I have heard about it in the Qin Empire. This force is not as simple as you and I might imagine. The ruler of the Sky Abyss Empire cannot possibly be a fool or deaf; his sister's actions must have some backing. Therefore, you must ensure that your actions this time are handled properly!”
The implication was clear: he wanted Xie Tianyu and Lian'er not to give any leverage to those from the Dark Exchange. If anything were to leak out to Your Majesty Tianyuan, it could very well mean disaster for Huang Tian!
Understanding this, both Xie Tianyu and Lian'er nodded in agreement. Outside the window, the moonlight deepened further. Few knew about what transpired in this small town, but no one dared believe that after tonight, a storm of bloodshed would soon arise!
The Envoy Group of the Qin Empire, having entered the borders of the Sky Abyss Empire, discussed plans concerning their own safety in advance. How this escape story of a prince crossing thousands of miles would unfold remained unknown... Perhaps fate would eventually provide an answer—but not at this moment...
On the other side, outside the imperial city, stood a palace that sought to rival the glory of the dragon and phoenix. The opulence of this palace was comparable to that of the six courtyards in the harem, yet it was built outside the imperial city due to certain special circumstances. The owner of this estate was extraordinarily esteemed.
The bright lanterns illuminated the golden courtyard at night. In the main hall, there stood an extraordinarily beautiful woman who had removed her mysterious veil. The only sister of the Current Majesty, Alfalfa Princess, was indeed stunningly beautiful, but beneath her lovely face lay a pair of eyes shrouded in darkness.
Who else could possess such a luxurious residence besides her? However, at this moment, the princess's expression was not pleasant; a flash of anger crossed her face, and the suppressed turmoil in her chest seemed ready to erupt into tangible fury. If she were to unleash her wrath, it would be no less than that of an emperor, capable of causing rivers of blood!
"Are you sure you didn't see who injured Chifeng?"
"Y-yes! Your Highness, when I arrived there, my master was already severely injured and in a state of confusion!" The one responding was the Martial Saint Royal Guardian who had gone to summon Chifeng but had encountered unforeseen misfortune. Poor fellow had stumbled upon an unprecedented calamity.
Over a kilometer away, he had been gravely wounded, and his attempt to summon help had turned into a farcical endeavor. Even more tragically, he had been utterly useless; Chifeng had already been secretly sent to the Imperial Medical Hall for treatment. Although his life was not in danger, no one could say what would become of him afterward!
It was no wonder Alfalfa Princess was so furious! No one had ever dared to challenge her authority like this. Even if that troublemaker in the Dark Exchange did not know who was pulling the strings behind Exchange, she still felt it was a disgrace!
Looking at Chifeng's disciple kneeling at her feet like a useless coward without even having seen the enemy's face, she found him utterly worthless! Indeed, a Waste Material's disciple could hardly be expected to amount to much!
"Can you tell me if you found any traces left by the enemy after you arrived? Or do you have any evidence regarding who they are?" Alfalfa Princess temporarily suppressed her frustration. She would not let that person off easily, but until she could ascertain their identity, maintaining rationality was essential!
Unfortunately, this Royal Guardian knew nothing at all; he dumbly shook his head, and the embarrassment on his face was already the best answer!
Alfalfa Princess lowered her eyelids slightly; ultimately, her anger did not explode. Instead, she smiled strangely—a smile filled with countless charms that left even the guardian beneath her spellbound! However, in the next moment, what she said plunged him into an icy abyss!
"Since that's the case, what use do I have for you? This matter must not leak out. If we find nothing and end up embarrassing ourselves instead, I would be humiliated! My uncles are waiting to see me make a fool of myself; tell me how I should deal with you?"
"Your Highness! Please spare me! I am loyal to you!" The guardian was no fool; he sensed the murderous intent in the princess's tone and immediately became terrified, repeatedly bowing and begging for mercy!
Even though he was a Martial Saint, in Alfalfa Princess's eyes, he remained just a worthless life! The kind of strong person who could earn her respect or admiration should at least be on Chifeng's level. Unfortunately, Chifeng was now incapacitated, and his disciples were merely insignificant pawns!
If outsiders were to learn that a Martial Saint held such little value in the eyes of royalty, it would surely shock the world. Yet in reality, how could the royal family of Sky Abyss Empire suppress the Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects without substantial backing?
"Spare you? Hmph! If you can withstand three moves from Shadow's subordinates, I will let you go. Oh right, you should know that your master is merely one of Shadow's defeated subordinates; so good luck!" Alfalfa Princess said coldly. With that parting remark, she turned and walked into the inner chamber!
In the main hall surrounded by intricately carved golden columns, a gust of wind swept through as shadows flitted past. The kneeling guardian trembled all over; the fear reflected in his pupils surpassed even when he faced Chifeng!
"Your Highness! Please don't!" Lacking any will to resist whatsoever, when shadows loomed before him, this Royal Guardian still did not dare to rise because he understood that the princess's top expert was far beyond his master!
The so-called number one under the Royal Divine Martial Realm is not Chifeng; that is merely a deception. The most powerful woman in the current Sky Abyss Empire is Alfalfa! And the strong individuals under Alfalfa are numerous, with Shadow being just one of them!
As a Martial Saint, this Royal Guardian was like a child, until a blood arrow shot out from his neck, and Shadow ultimately did not reveal himself! It was merely a shadow! He kills without leaving a trace!
Once everything settled down, several Black Cloaked Guards entered the hall and silently carried away the body of the Martial Saint, cleaning up the bloodstains thoroughly, making it seem as if nothing had happened in the hall, except for the lingering scent in the air that highlighted the cruel reality...
One cannot know how many Vengeful Spirits have died here... Meanwhile, the instigator, Princess Alfalfa, had already nonchalantly moved to another room. In this room was a man whose expression was resolute; from his attire, he did not appear to be from the Sky Abyss Empire.
However, even so, facing Princess Alfalfa, this woman with unprecedented power in the empire, he remained neither servile nor overbearing, simply bowing respectfully!
Princess Alfalfa's expression did not change; only a hint of laziness flickered in her eyes. Yet no one dared to catch even a glimpse of seduction from her movements—only deep fear remained—until she slightly parted her red lips: "Speak. What does your master want me to do?"
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed as he recalled his master's instructions before leaving. He could not help but say: "My master hopes that the princess can eliminate the prince as much as possible. Of course, it must not lead others to suspect my master!"
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Alfalfa's eyes, but she lightly smiled and said: "That might be a bit difficult. Your own empire's prince wants me, an outsider, to take action? Is it that the Qin Empire has no one capable of killing Huang Tian?"
It turns out that this man is actually an aide sent by the Qin Empire! He has long been colluding with Alfalfa! But who exactly is that master behind the scenes in the Qin Empire?
