Chapter 552 The following offense
Crown Prince Li Xuan, who had just finished a banquet in the palace, was seen entering the office of the Directorate General of Weaving, wearing a dark robe with a python pattern and feeling a little drunk.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chunxue and his two subordinates immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Please sit down." Li Xuan smiled slightly and spoke in a steady voice.

Zhang Chunxue gave the seat at the head to the prince and sat aside himself.

"Mr. Zhang is too polite." Li Xuan said calmly, flicked his sleeves and sat down.

Now, in the eyes of others, Li Xuan's power is getting stronger and stronger, and he looks less and less like the young boy he was when he was Wen Xuanning.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace. I never expected that the Crown Prince would be so concerned about the safety of Chang'an that he would make arrangements so early." Zhang Chunxue asked with a smile, "Based on the speed of the Jinwu Guards' actions now, Your Highness must have been in charge of the center before the hour of Xu, right?"

No one present could fail to hear the temptation in this.

"I thought the family dinner should last longer, but my father is unwell, so we have to end it early." Li Xuan answered casually.

"Your Majesty's poor health is indeed worrying. I hope that the Supreme God can protect us and allow our Tang Kingdom to enjoy the rule of a wise ruler for a long time." Zhang Chunxue said slowly, with a hint of meaning in his words.

Li Xuan smiled calmly, as if he heard the hidden meaning, but said nothing more.

Zhang Chunxue paused for a moment, then spoke again, asking directly, "The spiritual communication signal has been interrupted. Is this a decree from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Li Xuan said calmly without any evasion.

"This may affect people's daily lives. Should we give instructions in advance?" Zhang Chunxue narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his lips faded little by little.

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done." Li Xuan said calmly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Now the traitors from the northern border are lurking in Chang'an. The only way to disrupt their deployment is to cut off the spiritual communication. I will let the Jinwu Guards handle it. Why should outsiders worry too much?"

Zhang Chunxue sneered when he heard this: "The Crown Prince intends to let the Jinwu Guard handle this matter?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, what do you think? Does Dean Zhang have a better suggestion?"

Zhang Chunxue did not shy away and said, "I was just thinking that most of them are either tricksters or tricksters. I wonder if the Jinwu Guards alone can handle the task?"

"Master Zhang is wrong. Our Jinwu Guards have captured quite a few weird people recently and have gained some experience." Li Xuan said with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Although they are weird people, they are only newborn weird people. They don't know how to skillfully use their abilities. They are different from those who come from the northern border." Zhang Chunxue smiled gently, but his eyes were meaningful, as if he was looking at an ignorant junior.

Li Xuan did not get angry when he heard this, but said calmly: "Although the Textile General Administration has experience, how can it compare with our seminary in terms of countermeasures?"

When Zhang Chunxue and others heard this, their expressions changed slightly and they looked a little surprised.

Seeing this, Li Xuan showed a hint of pride on his face: "That's right, this time I have mobilized the students of Chengtian Society of the Seminary to help protect Chang'an together."

"Why haven't I heard about it?" Zhang Chunxue frowned.

"The students of Chengtian Society have volunteered to protect the peace of Chang'an. As the president of Chengtian Society, I cannot refuse the students' sincerity, so I have to agree." Li Xuan said calmly, but did not hide his pride at all.

"However, the students of the seminary are still studying, and now they leave the National Academy to participate in government affairs. There has never been such a precedent since ancient times." Zhang Chunxue's brows gradually frowned.

"Why should Dean Zhang be so bound by precedents? The so-called rules are all set by people. Besides..." Li Xuan changed the subject and smiled faintly, "What's more, as far as I know, there are students in the National Academy who have been admitted to the Research and Training Hall before they have become research students... Is this also an exception?"

Zhang Chunxue knew that what he was referring to was Liu Sheng's matter in the Skynet plan.

But Zhang Chunxue was still unsure how much Li Xuan knew. After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "This is the decision of His Majesty. Your Highness the Crown Prince should not ask too much."

Hearing this, Li Xuan's smile gradually faded, and he said in a cold voice: "Now that the emperor is ill, I have been helping to handle state affairs, so it should be okay for me to ask about it? You can't just slack off and not report it just because the emperor is not in court, right?"

Zhang Chunxue was secretly annoyed, knowing that he couldn't continue to argue about the matter. If he continued, the other party would act like the crown prince and regent, which would be bad, so he changed the subject.

"Since the Crown Prince has decided to personally preside over tonight's affairs, I wonder why he has come to the Weaving General Office at this time?"

"I came here to ask Dean Zhang to open the door of the warehouse so that I can go in and catch the thief." Li Xuan had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely brave, but this warehouse is an important place in the Tang Kingdom and has always been strictly regulated. I wonder who the Crown Prince plans to bring in?" Zhang Chunxue asked.

"There are thirty students in Chengtian Society, all of them are elites in the seminary. Most of them are already trainee priests with cultivation above the Mingzhen realm. They have mastered the art of purification and the tools bestowed by God, which are enough to deal with strange creatures." Li Xuan said slowly, with a bit of pride in his tone, "I think the dean can rest assured." However, how could Zhang Chunxue really rest assured?
Anger rose in his heart, knowing that Li Xuan was going to use this warehouse disaster as a stepping stone for his own great cause.

"In addition, I am determined to clear out the strange objects that have been piled up in the warehouse for many years tonight. I will not allow these hidden dangers to continue to exist." Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light and his tone was firm.

"Your Highness, do you know why these strange things are piled up in the warehouse? It is precisely because they cannot be purified that a ban is set up to contain and seal them."

"Many of them were sealed up only after sacrificing many colleagues in the Weaving Institute who were above the Mingzhen realm. Even if they have been taken in, the dangers involved... I'm afraid that the trainee priests will not be able to deal with them." Zhang Chunxue frowned and said, "I wonder if Your Highness has any method to eliminate them in one fell swoop?"

"That's it."

Li Xuan curled his lips and took out a small seal from his sleeve.

As the seal appeared, the entire room was suddenly enveloped by a dazzling divine light.

Bai Xuan suddenly felt uncomfortable. The strange power in her body was restrained by the divine light. She couldn't help but open her oil-paper umbrella to block this power, but there was still a burning sensation through the ribs of the umbrella, making her sweat coldly.

“It turns out that Zhang Yuanzheng also has a ghost controller under his command…” Li Xuan sneered, and the divine seal in his hand shook violently. Bai Xuan felt the blood surging all over his body, and was pressed down by the phantom magnified by the divine seal.

Although Bai Xuan was a high-level ghost controller, she was unable to resist and was suppressed by the divine seal, unable to move. She could only hold the oil-paper umbrella above her head. A black female shadow crawled out and held up the divine seal with her hands to prevent it from pressing down.

However, Li Xuan was originally a cultivator in the Dongxuan realm, at the same level as Bai Xuan. In addition, the power of the divine seal was inherently counteracted by the strange power, so it was natural for him to suppress the female shadow easily.

Accompanied by a scream, a wisp of green smoke receded from under the umbrella, and the oil-paper umbrella was damaged, the ribs broke, and blood spurted out of Bai Xuan's mouth, and the umbrella was on the verge of falling.

"Suppress!" A shadow gradually appeared above the divine seal in Li Xuan's hand, like the phantom of a magnificent temple, pressing towards Bai Xuan.

If this temple were to be completely suppressed, Bai Xuan would probably be scared to death.

Shen Hao standing next to him hesitated, not knowing whether he should take action after seeing this situation.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chunxue rushed to take action, and swung out a magical whip from his sleeve, but of course it could not hit the divine seal. It only wrapped around Bai Xuan and pulled her out from under the divine seal.

"Lord Zhang, you are so bold that you actually protect the Demon Master?" Li Xuan said with a sneer.

Zhang Chunxue was filled with anger and said in a stern voice: "Your Majesty knows that there are evil people in the Weaving General Office. Why did the prince break into our Weaving General Office and kill them? If I report this to Your Majesty, I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with it?"

"Master Zhang, you don't have to use my father to pressure me." Li Xuan sneered, "There are some things that I can have the final say on."

"not to mention……"

Li Xuan's voice became more and more vicious, and he suddenly threw the divine seal in his hand. Zhang Chunxue had no time to react at all. The divine seal hit him in the face, and all his cultivation was instantly sealed.

"You are just a servant of God! How dare you commit treason?"

"I want you to kneel! You must kneel!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Chunxue felt his whole body sink and he fell to the ground involuntarily. His spine was broken and he was unable to stand up straight.

Shen Hao, who was standing nearby, knelt down immediately upon seeing this and said in a pitiful voice, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I am only following orders and have no intention of going against Your Highness."

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and his tone turned gentle: "Shen Sizheng really knows the current situation."

"Do you have permission to open the warehouse?"

Shen Hao nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I deal with the warehouse every day, so I can take Your Highness there."

Li Xuan smiled with satisfaction and left with Shen Hao. He also looked back at Zhang Chunxue who was lying on the ground and Bai Xuan whose life or death was unknown.

He said in a cold voice: "Since Lord Zhang wants to protect this Trickster, I will keep him. Lord Zhang is right. I cannot carry out private punishment."

"Then I will leave it to the world to know that the Weaving Institute system is the biggest hidden danger in the governance of evil."

Li Xuan raised his lips into a sarcastic smile, flicked his sleeves and left, his back gradually moving away.
