Chapter 124 The Eastern Palace Sacrifice, Early Birth

However, before the King of the Underworld could finish his roar...

To the west of the God-Slaying Array, that familiar yet hateful aura reappeared once again.

"Die!"

The Emperor's fierce shout had not yet fully escaped his lips.

His figure vanished into the void.

In the blink of an eye, they descended upon the western side of the God-Slaying Array.

only……

He was still a step too slow.

When he arrived, there was no sign of anyone, not even a single hair.

Only Yin Tianzi was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

A moment later, that wretched aura appeared in the south.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Underworld calmed down and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

After several encounters, he realized that this little thief was extremely cunning.

They never linger in one place; they just shoot and move on, playing hide-and-seek with him.

This made the Underworld Emperor feel extremely aggrieved.

This God-Slaying Formation was clearly his home turf, yet it was easily toyed with by a mere thief.

"If I can leave the God-Slaying Formation, how dare you cause trouble?"

"Humph--"

"I'll settle accounts with you slowly after I'm born."

He has reached the point of his imminent birth. Whether there is more or less divinity in the God-Slaying Array will not affect his birth at all.

but……

Being tricked by Fang Heng like this, the Yin Emperor's anger lingered for a long time.

After returning to the depths of the divine cloud sea, the Underworld Emperor began to contact the Crown Prince.

……

The Imperial Clan Court, the Heavenly Prison, was dimly lit.

The candlelight on the seven bronze lamps flickered, stretching the prince's shadow long and slanted.

Although it was a prison cell, it was not dark and damp like a typical prison cell; instead, it was bright and airy.

It wasn't much different from the courtyards of ordinary families in Yujing City.

The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince, no matter how he is currently imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court.

But no one in the Imperial Clan Court dared to treat him lightly.

Who knows if the crown prince will be able to turn things around?

If the crown prince were to rise to power and ascend to the throne, they would still be counting on their current relationship!

Just then, the Crown Prince's gloomy face shifted slightly, as if he had sensed something.

Then, he waved his hand and said coldly.

"I need to rest for a while!"

The jailers outside the house didn't find the prince's words too strange.

These days, the crown prince eats and sleeps, living a carefree life, which they have long since become accustomed to.

After the prince closed his eyes, he secretly activated the Taiyi Divine Power—Dream Wandering in the Void.

The next second, the Crown Prince and the Underworld Emperor arrived in a dreamlike illusion.

Looking at the burly man opposite him, the anger emanating from him was almost tangible, like lava about to erupt.

The crown prince frowned, a hint of curiosity in his heart.

Who could have provoked the King of the Underworld to such anger?
"Your Majesty, what business do you have with me?" The Crown Prince composed himself and asked in a deep voice.

"Humph--"

"When will your promised sacrifice begin?"

The Emperor was direct and didn't beat around the bush with the Crown Prince; his tone carried a hint of urgency.

The Crown Prince keenly noticed the change in the Emperor's attitude on the two separate occasions.

Clearly, something had happened outside that made the Underworld Emperor somewhat impatient.

but……

This is a good thing for him.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my men are already preparing the sacrifices."

"The offerings you demand are no ordinary items. Even with the power of the Crown Prince, it won't be easy to obtain them."

The crown prince stood with his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice.

The Emperor frowned slightly, seemingly sensing a hint of perfunctoriness in the Crown Prince's words.

He gave a somewhat impatient snort.

"Fang Chen, you need to know this."

"We're all in the same boat, so don't try anything funny."

"Emperor Yuanchu and the people of Qiankun Sect have probably already calculated the day of my birth."

"At that time, they will definitely lay a trap for me."

"If I am captured, what will you use to purge the court of corrupt officials?"

"Relying on the pitiful strength of your Crown Prince Palace?"

The Emperor Yin sneered, showing some disdain for the power of the Eastern Palace.

The crown prince did not refute this, nor did he bother to refute it.

What power can one hand hold?
When you are born, you will know everything clearly.

Seeing that the Crown Prince remained unmoved, the Emperor Yin urged him on.

"This sacrifice will allow me to be born ten days earlier."

"Only if we catch them off guard will we have a slight chance of winning."

"If you are too late, you will not achieve the desired surprise effect."

"Ten days in advance?" The crown prince raised an eyebrow, a surge of joy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the offerings will be ready soon."

"Three days at most!"

"Just wait!"

"It will absolutely not delay your birth."

Seeing that the Crown Prince had relented, the Emperor nodded slightly.

The day he was born was the day of the great war.

Although he had his own backup plan, it would be best to have the Crown Prince help him share the burden.

"In addition to the conditions we discussed last time, I have one more condition to add." The cold voice of the Underworld Emperor echoed in the dream.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned deeply, forming a deep frown.

Seemingly annoyed by the Emperor's sudden change of heart, who actually wanted more benefits, the Crown Prince could only suppress his dissatisfaction and pretend to be indifferent, even though it wasn't the time to break ties with the Emperor.

"What conditions?"

"When you ascend to the throne, help me catch a petty thief."

Little thief?

Upon hearing this, the crown prince's expression turned strange.

Recalling the almost tangible anger emanating from the Underworld Emperor, everything suddenly became clear.

Someone actually stole the Emperor Yin's treasure!

This is really...

It caught the Crown Prince's attention!
Talent!
Once I ascend the throne, I will definitely recruit such talents under my command.

Although he harbored the intention to recruit him, the Crown Prince's verbal response was quite the opposite.

"I agree to this!"

"He's just a petty thief!"

"At that time, I will dispatch the three departments to assist you in the pursuit."

After agreeing on the terms, the Underworld Emperor left the dream.

Before exiting the dream, it didn't forget to urge me on.

"Don't forget the sacrifice!"

After the Emperor of the Underworld left, the Crown Prince stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He did not immediately end the Dreamwalking technique, but instead pointed his fingertip, and a phantom wave enveloped Mr. Wu's brow.

Before long, Mr. Wu entered a dream with a blank expression.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince before him, Mr. Wu showed a look of astonishment and surprise.

"His Royal Highness?"

"This is……"

"Mr. Wu, do not panic, this is just my dream."

"I used a secret technique to drag you into my dream, so that our conversation would not be spied on by outsiders."

After the Crown Prince patiently explained, Mr. Wu looked as if he had suddenly understood.

"I see!"

"Your Highness is incredibly resourceful. It turns out you had a backup plan all along. No wonder you remained calm and composed even when you entered the Imperial Clan Court."

Mr. Wu offered a timely compliment, which pleased the Crown Prince greatly.

Things are different now than they used to be!

In the past, there were many people around me who flattered and fawned over me, and their level of expertise was far superior to Mr. Wu's.

But now, he is surrounded by jailers from the Imperial Clan Court.

Although they treat him with great courtesy, they would never fawn over him or try to please him in any way.

Mr. Wu's words tonight really struck a chord with him.

It's as refreshing as eating an ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day.

"Your Highness, I wondered why you summoned this old man tonight..."

Before Mr. Wu could finish speaking, the Crown Prince interrupted him, asking in a deep voice:

"Mr. Wu, how are the offerings being prepared?"

"Everything is ready!"

"General Chu is looking for a suitable location for the sacrifice, and they will prepare to offer it in a couple of days."

Chu Yun Shen, one of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, commands the Crimson Flame Army.

After Lu Zangfeng's betrayal, Chu Yunshen became the Crown Prince's chief military officer.

After he was imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, he paid a great price to keep Chu Yun Shen supporting him.

"Have Chu Yun Shen complete the sacrifice tomorrow," the Crown Prince ordered coldly, his face darkening.

"Tomorrow? Your Highness, isn't that too soon..."

Mr. Wu had only spoken halfway when the Crown Prince let out a cold snort.

A chill emanated from him, immediately silencing Mr. Wu.

"I will go and inform General Chu immediately."

"The sacrifice will surely be completed before midnight tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded in satisfaction, a look of relief on his face.

"I'll leave the matter of the sacrifice to you, Mr. Wu."

Having said that, the prince made a hand seal, shattering the dream he had created.

Like a bubble, it burst before Mr. Wu's eyes.

A moment later, Mr. Wu emerged from his dream, abruptly opened his eyes, and climbed out of bed.

Under the moonlight, his slightly aged face was cold and solemn.

He let out a cold laugh, revealing a chilling smile.

"Your Highness, you've mastered the Dreamwalking Void Divine Power of my clan quite well."

"I'll settle that score with you soon."

Mr. Wu's words were like a malevolent ghost from the deepest hell, eerie and cold, causing the temperature in the air to drop several degrees.

A moment later, he suppressed his chilling aura.

Then, he frowned.

"Is there some problem on the King of the Underworld's side that the Crown Prince is urging the sacrifice?"

"It seems I need to speed up my plans."

After saying this, Mr. Wu put on a black robe, left the mansion, and headed outside Yujing City to find Chu Yun Shen.

Inside the main camp, in the commander's tent.

When Chu Yun Shen heard the order from Mr. Wu, his brows furrowed.

"Complete the sacrifice before midnight tomorrow?"

"Mr. Wu, do you know how complicated this sacrificial formation is?"

Chu Yun Shen kept complaining, and after listening patiently, Mr. Wu said helplessly.

"General Chu, I naturally understand your difficulties."

"However, you must also understand the Crown Prince's difficulties."

"This is an order personally given by the Crown Prince."

After saying that, Mr. Wu stopped talking, and all that could be seen was Chu Yun Shen's gloomy and uncertain expression.

After several changes, a helpless expression appeared on his solemn profile.

"Ugh……"

"I see!"

"Since it is the Crown Prince's order, I will certainly do my best to comply."
