Chapter 975 Response
As for the consequences of killing Cheng Yunzheng, he didn't care much.

Cheng Yunzheng broke the taboo first and deserved to die.

Especially since he was a prince, he deserved to die even more for doing such a thing.

The Yuanzhen Dynasty sought revenge, but he was not afraid of assassination.

First, he has a sense of danger; second, he has a map of white clouds; and third, he has a swift light sword.

Moreover, he is only an avatar; as long as the other two avatars and the main body are alive, he will not die.

But in the eyes of Li Cunren and his two brothers, as well as Li Miaotan, he had taken a very dangerous risk.

Li Miaotan was moved, and the three Li brothers were also deeply touched, feeling that he was full of affection.

Li Cunhou said, "Brother-in-law, there's really no need for this. My sister should have done it herself to kill Cheng Yunzheng."

Li Miaotan held his hand and nodded gently.

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "Husband and wife are one. Whether Miaotan makes a move or I do, it's no different."

Li Miaotan immediately smiled radiantly.

“You guys…” Li Cunhou shrank back, “You’re all so mushy!”

Li Cunyi shook his head and sighed, then clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Brother-in-law, I admire you greatly!"

He felt he had to learn a thing or two from Chu Liezhao. Look at his little sister's appearance, how could he not be devoted to her?
Chu Liezhao pretended not to understand his words and laughed, "Second Brother, you flatter me. Killing him was easy because I had already secretly arranged many methods."

Li Cunhou leaned forward hastily: "Oh—? What methods did you use? Let us broaden our horizons."

Chu Liezhao then explained how to send people to secretly watch him, track his whereabouts, find out the guarding patterns of the Purple Cloud Jade Pavilion, Cheng Yunzheng's protective treasures, and so on, making sure he understood everything.

Li Cunhou asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law, how did you manage to do that?"

Just hearing that makes you realize how difficult it is.

Zixiao Jade Pavilion is no ordinary sect; it is one of the four major sects of Yuanzhen, with astonishing strength, numerous experts, and a sect-protecting spiritual artifact.

Chu Liezhao smiled and said, "Fu Zheng has mastered the Moon Soul Sword Manual, so she can do it."

"Ugh……"

Both Li Cunhou and Li Cunyi shook their heads helplessly.

The Moon Soul Sword Manual is a top-tier, extraordinary martial art, and not just anyone can master it.

They were princes, and had many extraordinary people under their command, but none of them had mastered the Moon Soul Sword Manual.

Li Miaotan had already heard Chu Liezhao say these things, and listened with a smile.

Li Cunyi solemnly said, "However, brother-in-law, you cannot be careless. You still need to guard against Yuan Zhen's desperate attempt to retaliate and assassinate you."

Li Cunhou said, "Cheng Yunzheng deserves to die. If he dares to retaliate, don't blame us for fighting back!"

Li Cunyi said, "Why don't we go hide on the battlefield outside the region?"

“That’s a good idea.” Li Cunhou nodded hurriedly: “You two go to the extraterritorial battlefield. No matter how powerful they are, they can’t influence the extraterritorial battlefield. But we can’t stay in the extraterritorial battlefield forever, can we? It’s still quite dangerous there.”

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "We won't need to for now. Yuan Zhen might not dare to retaliate."

As the four were chatting idly, Li Cunren hurriedly returned, bathed in moonlight.

"Brother, how is it?" Li Cunhou asked hurriedly.

Li Cunren looked Chu Liezhao up and down and sighed, "Cheng Yunzheng is really dead! ...Brother-in-law, this is not good."

Chu Liezhao said, "Could it be that Cheng Yunzheng has another identity? Is he not only a prince, but also has other bloodlines?"

"Who cares what his identity is?" Li Cunhou snorted. "If Yuan Zhen dares to retaliate against his brother-in-law, we will never let them get away with it. Let's see if they have the guts!"

Li Cunren shook his head and said, "I saw that the faces of the temple's attendants had changed, so this is no small matter."

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "Could it be that it will provoke the Spirit Lord to take action?"

“That’s impossible.” Li Cunren waved his hand: “They have Spirit Venerables, and we have Spirit Venerables too. If one Spirit Venerable makes a move, the others will sense it and won’t act recklessly.”

It wouldn't be worth deploying a Spirit Venerable for a mere prince; only when the dynasty is facing a life-or-death crisis would a Spirit Venerable possibly rush over from an unknown place.

Chu Liezhao said, "Then it's nothing. I've never been afraid of assassination."

Li Cunren said, "We still need to improve as soon as possible... I will ask my father if he can take a look at our spiritual treasure."

He felt that his father was too stingy and too wary of Chu Liezhao.

Li Miaotan gently shook her head: "Brother, forget it. Father won't change his mind. I'll talk to Mother and see if Jade Kunlun Palace is okay." Chu Liezhao smiled: "I'm very curious about what the Jade Kunlun Palace's divine treasure is, but Jade Kunlun Palace has no intention of opening its divine treasure to me."

Jade Kunlun Palace has always been arrogant. Even though it has seen the Phoenix Sword Sect, the Green Wutong Sword Sect, and the Li Huo Fist Sect, Jade Kunlun Palace remains very calm and shows no sign of being impatient.

The Li Huo Fist Sect has been urging us to go and observe in the next few days.

He had no expectations for the divine treasures of the Li Huo Fist Sect, but he had a vague idea of ​​what they were.

Of the four major sects' treasures, he was most curious about the Jade Kunlun Palace, but he couldn't guess what it contained.

Li Miaotan's bright eyes sparkled as she softly said, "Mother will agree."

Li Cunyi clapped his hands and praised repeatedly: "This is a great idea. We can hide in the Jade Kunlun Palace for a few months or even a few years."

The Jade Kunlun Palace is the most secure place. If the Yuanzhen Dynasty wants to enter the Jade Kunlun Palace to assassinate someone, that is just wishful thinking.

"Yes, yes, let's hide." Li Cunhou hurriedly said.

Chu Liezhao laughed heartily.

"what's wrong?"

They were stunned and bewildered by his laughter.

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "I'm laughing at Third Brother. He talks tough, but he crumbles at the first sign of trouble. There's still Eldest Brother and Second Brother. There's no need to be so nervous."

"Brother-in-law, you're not worried at all!"

Li Cunren said irritably.

They were all worried and nervous, but he seemed carefree and oblivious, completely the opposite of what they expected.

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "It's getting late, why don't we call it a night?"

"It's not too late yet." Li Cunhou looked at the bright moon in the sky.

A bright moon hangs obliquely in the night sky, with a few silver clouds veiling it from the side.

The moonlight slowly fell, and the moonlight was extremely beautiful.

I imagine this is the liveliest time in the restaurant, when everyone is in the highest spirits.

Li Cunyi chuckled, his laughter strange: "Yes, yes, it's getting late. Let's take our leave now. We can talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, he tugged at Li Cunhou and Li Cunren's sleeves and stood up.

The two men received his signal. Li Cunhou was puzzled, but Li Cunren realized what he meant and shook his head with a smile: "Alright, let's go first and talk about it tomorrow."

Li Cunhou was puzzled, but he followed the two of them out of the Prince Consort's residence. Just as he was about to ask, Li Cunyi patted him on the shoulder and said with a strange smile, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder!"

Li Cunhou then realized what was happening.

……

The lake in the Imperial Garden, spanning hundreds of acres, is azure in some areas and light blue in others, reflecting the few white clouds in the sky.

A gentle breeze blows, and the branches of the trees by the lake sway gracefully like long hair.

Inside a small pavilion on the lake, Li Miaotan lay lazily on a couch.

She was dressed in a snow-white white gown, like a fairy descended to earth.

The Empress was dressed in a Kunlun jade robe, which was luxurious and elegant, and at first glance she looked like a person who had transcended the mortal world.

She sat before Li Miaotan's bed, holding a book in her delicate hands, and began to read.

In contrast to the plain attire of the mother and daughter, several palace maids dressed in colorful clothes stood by to serve them.

Li Miaotan waved her hand.

Several palace maids in colorful robes bowed and gracefully left the small pavilion, walking along the corridor to another small pavilion a hundred meters away.

"What do you want to say?" The Empress put down her book and smiled. "It's not some secret, is it?"

"My husband just killed Cheng Yunzheng, so he needs to go to Yu Kunlun Palace to lay low for a while."

"There are plenty of places to avoid trouble. He has good relations with the other three of the four major sects, so he can go to any of them."

Li Miaotan retorted angrily, "Mother, does the Jade Kunlun Palace really intend to do this?!"
