Huangxiu

Chapter 839 Seal
They were on guard against outsiders, and Chu Zhiyuan was not among them.

Li Yuzhen naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

The old eunuch knew what Li Cunren was thinking and of course would not stop him.

So Chu Zhiyuan walked straight in.

Li Miaotan looked at Chu Zhiyuan helplessly.

In fact, I didn't want him to get involved in this mess, but he just ran in here anyway.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother, Madam, what happened?"

Li Cunren sighed: "Something big has happened, Zhu Youjian, you know, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He pretended to know nothing: "It's the treasure of Fengtian Palace, which monitors the demons and monsters in the world. What's wrong with that?"

"Something went wrong. The Candle Mirror is probably broken." Li Cunren shook his head: "No wonder the court was so slow to react."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Fengtian Palace has no way to remedy this?"

"If there was a way, the imperial court would have sent out troops to wipe out the demon tribe long ago!" Li Cunren snorted, "Brother-in-law, I thought that the emperor had other intentions and was playing a big game. Now it seems that we thought too much!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "First we need to find out whether this news is true or false, and whether Fengtian Palace is playing a big game."

"No matter how much the Fengtian Palace plays chess, they will never spread such false news." Li Cunren shook his head.

Li Miaotan nodded gently: "They won't make fun of Zhu Youjian."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If it's not fake news, then it will be a big trouble."

Li Cunren frowned and thought deeply.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Is this the only treasure in Fengtian Palace? Are there others?"

"Yes, there are, but none as powerful as this one." Li Cunren shook his head: "Zhu Youjian is the most powerful."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "There is no way to repair it?"

Li Cunren sighed: "How can we repair a treasure from ancient times?"

Li Miaotan said: "This kind of spiritual treasure is all natural, and cannot be refined by human power. Not to mention that we don't know its secrets, even if we know, it is almost impossible to repair it."

Li Cunren said: "Our spiritual energy now is many times thinner than that of ancient times. It is impossible to repair this Zhuyoujian."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Can it be repaired in ancient times?"

"This kind of spiritual treasure has the ability to self-repair. It can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore itself. But the spiritual energy we have now... If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual energy in the cave where Fengtian Palace is located is far more abundant than outside, and there are treasures to help, Zhu Youjian would have been finished long ago. In fact, he starved to death!"

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

He then said, "So it will end sooner or later, and we are just trying to delay it?"

"If we're lucky, it won't be a problem to drag it out for tens of thousands of years, but now we're out of luck." Li Cunren shook his head: "In the past ten thousand years, the demon world and the devil world have expanded, and our spiritual energy has become increasingly thinner!"

Li Miaotan said slowly: "It is urgent to destroy the demon clan and the demon world!"

“That’s right!” Li Cunren hit his right palm with his left fist, angrily saying, “What’s annoying is that we are not strong enough, while the demons and monsters are getting stronger and stronger!”

He thought that the demons could now even break into humans' caves.

This is tantamount to digging up the roots of humanity.

The cave heaven is the best aid for spiritual practice. Without the cave heaven elixir, the speed of spiritual practice will be greatly slowed down.

The slower you practice, the weaker your strength will be, and you will be less able to fight against demons. The demon world will expand, and the spiritual energy in the human world will become thinner and thinner.

This creates a vicious cycle that cannot be escaped.

Whenever he thought of this, he could not suppress his anxiety and urgency.

But the reality did not allow him to take any big action. He was just a prince and had no power.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Brother, if it is really a problem with Zhu Youjian, then the good news must be kept secret and cannot be spread out."

Now it seems that the only way is to cover it up.

It is impossible to repair it, so the only thing to do is bluff, so that the demons and monsters won’t get the news and invade in large numbers.

That's the real trouble.

Li Cunren said: "Of course I can't tell anyone else. You are not an outsider, so come here to discuss it."

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "If the Candle Mirror can only sense the demons and monsters, it may be able to conceal something."

“How to cover it up?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I will bring two masters from Fengtian Palace, plus masters from the imperial court, to sweep the surrounding area fiercely."

"...Good idea!" Li Cunren said slowly: "With you here, those monsters and demons can't escape!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I'd better change my appearance and not show up, so that everyone's attention will be attracted to the masters of Fengtian Palace, and they will think that it was Fengtian Palace who took action."

"Wonderful!" Li Cunren stroked his palm.

This way it would be foolproof and no one would dare to suspect that there was anything wrong with the Zhu Youjian.

He then sighed and said, "But Zhu Youjian...Alas, Twelve Sister, you must improve your cultivation as soon as possible!"

There isn't much time left for them.

After all, paper can't contain fire.

If the news were to leak out someday, the consequences would be dire.

Before that, if the Phoenix bloodline can grow, or even achieve Spirit Lord status, it can reverse the disadvantage.

"Well, I will practice well." Li Miaotan nodded slightly.

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan with bright eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Madam, please go to the battlefield outside the domain as soon as possible, and put aside your love for the time being."

For any venerable, the best place to practice is the battlefield outside the domain.

Li Miaotan is no exception.

Even Li Miaotan, with his Phoenix bloodline, would be able to improve faster in the battlefield outside the domain.

The reason why I haven't been there is because we are living in a world of two, full of tenderness and sweetness, and are reluctant to leave.

I feel that it doesn’t matter if it’s a few days earlier or later, the Venerable has a lot of time.

Now that Zhu Youjian has run into trouble, time has become pressing and she cannot afford to linger in the land of pleasure.

"That's right, twelfth sister, you should go to the battlefield outside the domain to gain experience and become a spiritual master as soon as possible!" "Brother, it's not that easy to become a spiritual master!"

"It's not easy for others, but it's not difficult for you. You just have to do it as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

"The more impatient you are, the less likely it will be." Li Miaotan shook his head: "Don't rush me."

"Yes, yes, no hurry, no hurry, no hurry." Li Cunren nodded hurriedly, but finally couldn't help asking: "Then when are you going to leave?"

"Brother--!"

"Okay, okay, I won't rush you." Li Cunren smiled apologetically.

Li Miaotan snorted and looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Otherwise, let's do it tomorrow."

"But here..." Li Miaotan was quite worried.

Chu Zhiyuan is not familiar with the situation in the imperial city yet, so he can be easily tricked.

Once I was away, he lost his way and had no shelter from the wind and rain.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I will be careful. If anything goes wrong, I will go to the battlefield outside the domain to find you."

"...Okay." Li Miaotan thought of Chu Zhiyuan's lightness skills and his shrewdness, and finally made up his mind: "Then I will set off for the battlefield outside the domain tomorrow."

"What a wise move!" Li Cunren said with a smile.

Li Yuzhen's voice sounded: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, two priests from Fengtian Palace have arrived."

"Fengtian Palace?!" Li Cunren was surprised.

"Please come in." Li Miaotan said.

Two middle-aged men came in soon.

They both have ordinary looks, one with a round face and the other with a square face. The one with the round face is thin, while the one with the square face is tall and strong.

Judging from his appearance alone, there is nothing extraordinary about him, and his aura does not indicate that he is a venerable person.

Obviously, he possesses top-notch skills to conceal his aura.

From his appearance, he doesn't look like a disciple of Fengtian Palace.

"Mr. Lan, Mr. Wu." Li Cunren clasped his fists and smiled: "Long time no see."

The round-faced middle-aged man in charge said with a smile: "Your Highness is more elegant than ever before."

"Haha...Mr. Lan, you are too kind." Li Cunren said with a smile: "Are you two gentlemen here to look for my twelfth sister?"

"I came to see the eldest prince." The round-faced middle-aged man smiled and said, "The eldest prince has heard the news about my palace, right?"

Li Cunren smiled and asked, "What news?"

The round-faced middle-aged man smiled and said, "Nephew Sun said that, right?"

Li Cunren shook his head: "Why don't I understand what Mr. Lan said?"

“Alas!” The round-faced middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, then stopped smiling: “Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, otherwise I would not have come here in person.”

"What news?" Li Cunren asked puzzledly, "I am getting more and more confused."

"Maybe I am wrong." The round-faced middle-aged Lan Mingxuan shook his head slightly: "I hope I am wrong."

Another middle-aged man with a square face, a burly figure, and a righteous look on his face said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Junior Brother Sun has been expelled from my Fengtian Palace."

Li Cunren's expression changed slightly: "Who is nephew Sun?"

"Sun Qinghe." The middle-aged man with a square face shook his head and said, "Nephew Sun... Oh, I can't call you Nephew Sun anymore. His martial arts have been abolished, but his life is not in danger."

Li Cunren's face suddenly darkened, his eyes were blazing, like a burst of cold lightning, and he slowly said: "Why is it so?"

His voice suddenly became dry.

Lan Mingxuan sighed, "In extraordinary times, we must do extraordinary things. This is the rule of Fengtian Palace. If you break the rule, even an old man like me will be punished."

"What a great rule of Fengtian Palace!" Li Cunren's face was gloomy and he forced out a sneer.

Lan Mingxuan said: "From today on, no one is allowed to mention Zhu Youjian. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Miaotan said calmly: "Can't we princes and princesses do that?"

Lan Mingxuan said softly: "This is not only my decision, but also the decision of the emperor."

Li Cunren's eyes were burning. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Since it is Father who has spoken, then let's not mention it again."

He immediately shook his head: "Sure enough, something went wrong!"

"This is also for the benefit of the people of the world." Lan Mingxuan said softly: "Your Highness must understand this painstaking effort."

"Then what countermeasures do you have?" Li Cunren asked coldly, "Just shut them up?"

Li Miaotan said, "Mr. Lan, you don't think you can really keep the news secret, do you?"

"We're trying to find a solution." Lan Mingxuan sighed, "It will take time. For now, we can only block the news to avoid greater unrest."

"How long will it take?" Li Miaotan snorted.

Lan Mingxuan shook his head: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I shouldn't say more about this."

"That means it's impossible in the short term." Li Miaotan said.

Lan Mingxuan was silent.

"Is there any alternative treasure?"

"..."

"It seems that there is none." Li Miaotan glanced at him and said, "Didn't you realize it beforehand? Didn't you think of any solution?"

Lan Mingxuan shook his head: "There are only three or four such magical treasures in the world. What can we do?"

Li Cunren asked, "What if the news is leaked?"

"Impossible!" Lan Mingxuan said in a deep voice.

Li Cunren snorted: "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. I can hear it, but others can't?"

Lan Mingxuan smiled: "There is only one great prince, the others don't have this ability."

His eyes fell on Chu Zhiyuan and flickered several times.
