Chapter 895 Mediation
Cheng Yunzheng must be a smart man, and an ambitious man who aims to seize the throne.

I would never do such a risky thing just for the sake of reputation, there must be another reason.

Sun Qiying pondered.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Sun, do you know something about this?"

"…It may be related to the spiritual treasure." Sun Qiying said slowly: "Your Highness, this is not what I saw personally, it is just my guess."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "By doing this, you will be able to obtain the spiritual treasure, so you got that spiritual treasure?"

"It is very likely so." Sun Qiying said, "The Fifth Prince is an extremely smart person."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

This makes sense. If one wins enough fame and reputation, it will be the cornerstone for seizing the throne, and one can also obtain a magical treasure.

Cheng Yunzheng was unable to comprehend the magical benefits of the magic treasure due to his limited qualifications.

The magic of spiritual treasures is that they can defend against enemies and protect oneself externally, and can also enhance one's perception, improve one's realm, and improve one's practice internally.

Sun Qiying couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "The Fifth Prince arranged a retreat route that would be Zixiao Yuge. I never expected that, I never expected that."

He prided himself on having every plan in mind, but he didn't expect that this path would make him quite concerned.

He sighed inwardly, this Fifth Prince was obviously on guard against him and everyone else.

No one would trust or doubt anyone like the Fifth Prince.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I plan to destroy the substitute here and relax the vigilance over there."

Sun Qiying frowned and said, "Your Highness, this matter should not be rushed."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Now is the critical moment for the wedding of the Thirteenth Princess and the Third Prince. It is not appropriate to start a war again."

"We can't let this vengeance go unrequited, right?"

"Then let's wait until after the wedding." Sun Qiying said, "There is no rush right now. After all, it is the Third Prince's wedding, and it should not be disrupted, lest it ruin the relationship between the two."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, aren't you pleading for Cheng Yunzheng?"

Sun Qiying waved her hands and said, "If you really beg for mercy, I won't ask for it."

Chu Zhiyuan thought about it and nodded: "Third brother is not a petty person,...but we should avoid it and wait for a while."

The Third Prince is not so petty, but the Thirteenth Princess may not be, nor may the court officials who have surrendered to the Third Prince.

Pillow talk is still very powerful. If Li Miaotan had done it, the Third Prince would have had nothing to say. But it would be a different story if he did it himself.

The subtlety involved requires a keen insight into human nature to be seen through.

Sun Qiying looked up at the sky and sighed, "It's the time, it's the fate."

If Cheng Yunzheng had not met the genius Ninth Prince, perhaps this heaven-defying move could have really changed his fate and helped him seize the throne.

Unfortunately, he met the Ninth Prince, so his plan was destined to fail and he could only regret it.

And if this act of defying heaven and changing one's fate fails, one will be condemned to eternal damnation and it will be difficult to turn things around.

We were once a king and his subject, and it is really a pity to think of his tragic ending.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "According to Mr. Sun's opinion, we should wait until after the wedding to deal with the substitute, and then deal with the real body in Zixiao Yuge?"

Sun Qiying said: "Your Highness, you know that killing the prince is unlucky and will definitely bring punishment from heaven."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows: "Is it heaven's fault, not the revenge of the dynasty?"

Sun Qiying said: "As far as I know, it is not entirely revenge from the dynasty, but punishment from heaven. Anyone who kills the prince will not die a good death."

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Sun Qiying said: "There is great power in this world, it may be the power of a spiritual master, or even a power above a spiritual master, so it is best not to kill the prince."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What about killing someone with a borrowed knife?"

"That's different." Sun Qiying said, "So the Fifth Prince just used the demons and monsters to kill the Twelfth Princess."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded after pondering.

Originally, I didn't intend to kill Cheng Yunzheng directly, I just wanted to cripple him.

If he is crippled, even if he can recover his cultivation with a magic medicine, it will be almost impossible for him to improve further.

The inner demon has been taken over and it is difficult to break through.

No matter how difficult it is to improve your realm, it will also be difficult to extend your lifespan. If your realm is not high enough, you will be more likely to die accidentally in the battlefield outside the domain.

...Chu Zhiyuan was immersed in the coverage of the flying knife and had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the Zixiao Yuge Villa.

Watch them practice, exchange ideas, and also watch Cheng Yunzheng's every move.

There was no flaw at all, and there was no trace of the original Cheng Yunzheng at all. It was truly amazing.

He seemed to have completely become a different person and cut off all contact with Cheng Yunzheng.

……

The next evening, when Fu Zheng returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, her face was as pale as paper.

Seeing her like this, Li Yuzhen hurried forward and asked, "How is your injury?"

Chu Zhiyuan had already noticed her injury and did not show any surprise.

"Sister Li, I'm fine." Fu Zheng said with a proud smile, "We still won!"

Chu Zhiyuan sat at the stone table, sipping from his wine glass while asking, "How many Lihuo Quan Sect masters did you fight against?"

"Four." Fu Zheng held up four tender white fingers and chuckled, "All four of them have higher cultivation than us, but they still couldn't beat us!"

She spoke excitedly.

Among the four Venerables, three are middle-level and one is a high-level Venerable.

He was hit by a punch from this high-level master.

The Fire Fist of this high-level master was able to break through the Luoyuan Sword Intent and was not completely annihilated. The remaining power severely injured himself and Lu Qingyuan.

This high-level venerable was indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he still fell victim to Lu Qingyuan's Luoyuan Sword Technique.

Lu Qingyuan used a secret method to greatly enhance his own energy and spirit, and then he used the Luoyuan Sword Technique, which was even more powerful and severely injured the high-level Venerable.

"Is Miss Lu okay?" Li Yuzhen asked.

"I'm just exhausted, it's okay." Fu Zheng waved her hand nonchalantly: "The Four Great Sects are worthy of being the Four Great Sects."

Li Yuzhen nodded: "This kind of life-saving skill is available in all four major sects. Sister Fu, you don't have it?"

"Yes." Fu Zheng nodded quickly.

She then laughed and said, "Your Highness, I don't think the Lihuo Fist Sect is that great. The high-level masters have all been dispatched."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Ignorant and fearless, even high-level venerables have their own superiors and inferiors."

The Luoyuan Sword Technique is mysterious, but it is not invincible. It has reached its limit so far.

The price paid by Lu Qingyuan must be not low.

Fu Zheng said: "Your Highness, do you want to continue the fight with the Lihuo Fist Sect? They have already lost face."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "The stronger the Luoyuan Sword Art is, the more likely the Lihuo Fist Sect will not give up. The same goes for the other two sects."

Fu Zheng was puzzled: "This is the sword technique that Sister Lu got, why must she share it with others?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Because the other three sects also shared the celestial inheritance before."

Fu Zheng snorted and curled her red lips: "I heard from Sister Lu that the inheritance they shared is also problematic, so don't say anything about anyone else!"

Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.

Li Yuzhen smiled and said, "The four major sects... it's really hard to explain!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed dumbly and shook his head, "So, no one suffered any loss, and no one took advantage?"

Fu Zheng snorted, "So they are so persistent and unreasonable, and they are bullying."

Li Yuzhen said: "The court will probably intervene to mediate."

As the three were talking, someone outside came to report that the eldest prince was coming.

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled and went to the front hall to greet him.

Li Cunren said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, there is good news."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother, is it my turn to have good things happen?"

"What are you talking about!" Li Cunren waved his hands and said, "This is really a good thing. We are following the order of our father to mediate between the Lihuo Fist Sect and the Chaofeng Sword Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Li Yuzhen beside him.

Li Yuzhen smiled.

Li Cunren said, "In previous years, we would let them fight as much as they want. The more they fight, the better. But now my third brother is getting married soon. If they continue to fight, it will damage the reputation of our Phoenix. So we have to mediate between them."
