Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, Ji Yan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then poured himself a cup of tea, placed it on the stone table opposite him, and calmly said, "Your Yellow Springs Sect does have some methods, but he has quite a few Earth Realm experts around him, so killing him won't be an easy task."

The man in black robes tossed his robes aside, plopped down on the stone bench, took the tea from the stone table, and drank it down in one gulp.

After finishing his tea, he said disdainfully, "Without the protection of the dragon aura, he's no different from an ordinary spiritual warrior to us."

Ji Yan looked at the man in black robes with suspicion. To be honest, he thought the man in black robes was bragging.

Even without the protection of dragon energy, the Prince of Zhennan's strength was among the top in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He had heard that when the Prince of Zhennan went to the palace to propose to Lu Chen, he easily defeated a Earth Realm Elder.

Even with the backlash from the spiritual energy, his strength should not be underestimated.

Ji Yan didn't expose the man in black robes' words. He continued, "When do you plan to make your move?"

The man in black robes replied, "We'll make our move after he seals those few demon kings."

For the Yellow Springs Cult, those Demon Kings were also a huge threat.

Since the Prince of Zhennan went to Jiangnan to seal those few evil kings, let him complete his final mission.

If the Prince of Zhennan participates in the sealing battle, his strength will likely be weakened again, and the backlash from the spiritual energy will become increasingly severe. At that time, even without the intervention of the Yellow Springs Sect's experts, the Prince of Zhennan may die suddenly.

At this moment, the man in black robes continued, "By the way, if we were to attack the Prince of Zhennan, we would need Your Highness's assistance."

Ji Yan frowned immediately: "You need my help? What can I do?"

Ji Yan couldn't help but think that the Yellow Springs Sect claimed to be so powerful and formidable, but in the end, they still needed his help. It seemed that they weren't as powerful as they said.

If they are really strong, then they don't need to do anything themselves.

The man in black robes said, "If Your Highness wants the dragon aura from the Prince of Zhennan, you must come with us to Guangling County. Your Highness must be present when we eliminate the Prince of Zhennan, otherwise the dragon aura will return to His Majesty."

Hearing the black-robed man's words, Ji Yan finally felt relieved.

He thought the Yellow Springs Cult needed his help, but it turned out they only wanted him to go to Guangling County, which didn't count as helping.

Ji Yan then said, "Alright, when you make your move against the Prince of Zhennan, I will go with you to Guangling County."

At this moment, the man in black robes suddenly thought of something and continued, "In addition, we also need some of His Highness's blood."

This immediately alerted Ji Yan, who asked, "What are you going to do with my blood?"

Seeing Ji Yan's wariness, the man in black couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we only need Your Highness's blood when transferring the dragon energy, and we will not use Your Highness's blood for anything else."

Ji Yan said, "I see."

At this moment, the man in black robes stood up from the stone bench: "Alright, Your Highness, please prepare yourselves. We will be heading to Guangling County in a while."

Ji Yan is a prince and cannot leave the capital at will, let alone go to the fiefdom of a king of a different surname.

Without the permission of the Prince of Zhennan, a prince's trespassing into his fiefdom would arouse the Prince's suspicion.

Most importantly, princes were required to report to the court before leaving the capital.

Their purpose in coming here was to obtain the dragon aura of the Prince of Zhennan, so they could not leave the capital openly and could only use some means to leave the capital quietly.

However, if a prince does not attend court for an extended period of time, it will raise people's suspicions.

Ji Yan needed to find some excuses, such as being sick or having problems with his cultivation. Only by deceiving the royal family could Ji Yan possibly leave the capital quietly.

……

After Lu Chen finished writing the letter, he immediately handed it to Zhou Xiaoxiao.

When Zhou Xiaoxiao handed the letter to the disciples of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, she didn't explicitly say it was written by Lu Chen. She wrote another letter and then placed Lu Chen's letter inside her own, before having the Heavenly Fortune Sect's spies deliver it back to the sect's headquarters. Meanwhile, Yun Yudie was in her cultivation room, devouring blood food.

Around her body were the corpses of several Xuanjing Spiritual Warriors.

Some time ago, a conflict broke out between a faction and an intelligence outpost of the Heavenly Fortune Cult.

That force destroyed the Heavenly Fortune Sect's stronghold, and almost all of the Heavenly Fortune Sect's human disciples at that stronghold were killed. Yun Yudie then launched a revenge attack and wiped out that force.

The few Xuan Realm spiritual warriors in the training room are high-ranking members of that force.

At this moment, a female ghost from the Heavenly Fortune Sect entered the cultivation room and respectfully said to Yun Yudie, "Sect Leader, there is a letter from the Right Protector."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yudie, who was currently feeding on blood, opened her eyes.

With a flick of her wrist, the letter in the female ghost's hand flew into Yun Yudie's hand.

After Yun Yudie tore open the letter, she discovered that there seemed to be another letter inside.

She first read the first letter, and after a quick glance, her face instantly turned gloomy.

Inside the cultivation room, the cold, green firelight illuminated her exquisite face, making her expression appear even more somber.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Yudie finally decided to tear open Lu Chen's letter, take out the letter Lu Chen had written, and read it carefully.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Yun Yudie fell into a long silence, and the atmosphere in the cultivation room became oppressive and heavy.

Yun Yudie then said to the strange woman who delivered the letter, "You go out first."

The strange woman seemed to understand something, and she quickly said, "Yes, Master."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly left the cultivation room.

As soon as the female ghost stepped out of the cultivation room, a terrifying aura emanated from behind her.

In the cultivation room, Yun Yudie could no longer hold back, and the evil energy within her body suddenly erupted.

The candlelight in the cultivation room was instantly extinguished by the thick, eerie aura emanating from her.

Yun Yudie never expected that a human would write a letter to her, the Ghost King, and even mention in the letter that they wanted to form a marriage alliance with her and marry her.

She's lived so many years and has never encountered anything like this before.

She was both furious and incredulous that a human would want to sleep with her.

Yun Yudie couldn't understand how humans could have such thoughts about her, this strange creature.

Shouldn't Lu Chen be terrified of her? She's so strange!

After a long while, Yun Yudie finally calmed down.

She thought to herself that perhaps this was just a conspiracy by the Prince of Zhennan.

The Prince of Zhennan's mansion wanted to lure her to the capital and then suppress and seal her away.

Upon considering this possibility, a cold glint flashed in Yun Yudie's eyes.

This letter was delivered through Zhou Xiaoxiao, proving that Lu Chen not only knew the identities of Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, but also reached some kind of cooperation with them, or rather, Lu Chen had persuaded the two of them, and the two sisters may have already betrayed the Tianyun Sect and her.

No, Yun Yudie remembered the information that Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou had sent back before.

The fact that the two sisters could betray the Heavenly Fortune Sect suggests either that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion possesses something capable of threatening the strange life form, or that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has provided the two sisters with substantial benefits. (End of Chapter)
