Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

"Golden Core?"

Zhou Yan's heart tightened immediately. A Golden Core cultivator was a big shot anywhere, even in the East Sea Dragon Palace, he could be called a general. He never expected that there would be a Golden Core cultivator here.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yunhai nodded.

"It is said that the ruler of Xiang Kingdom has been at the Golden Core stage since the founding of the kingdom, and three hundred years ago, he even wiped out a Golden Core demon king."

His words were full of apprehension.

At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly felt a toothache. He had originally planned to come to Yun Kingdom to make some plans and avoid Ao Chihe Zhengwu, but how come there is someone even more terrifying here?

At least Ao Chi and Zheng Wu didn't see any Golden Core cultivators.

"Does the Xiang Kingdom have no rivals?"

"Yes, there is." Yunhai's face showed a helpless expression.

"But they are basically alliances of small countries like Yun Kingdom. The Purple Mansion forces involved are not many. Compared with Xiang Kingdom, they are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

After a pause, Zhou Yan continued, "Doesn't the Tianhe Sword Sect care about Xiang Kingdom's actions?"

"Your Majesty, you don't understand." Yunhai shook his head.

"The Tianhe Sword Sect resides on the Tianhe River, and its members come from all over the world, including even people from the Central Plains. As far as they are concerned, as long as there are no evil demons performing large-scale blood sacrifices here, causing widespread suffering, they will not care."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan didn't say anything more. Since things had come to this, he decided to take it one step at a time.

…………

As midnight fell and darkness descended, Yun Che sat cross-legged in his bedroom inside the Crown Prince's residence, cultivating his inner energy.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his gaze filled with unease.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel so restless?"

With his hand on his chest, Yun Che felt his heart pounding wildly.

"What are you doing?"

"How dare you! This is the Crown Prince's residence! Have you lost your minds?"

"Guards! Someone has trespassed into the Crown Prince's residence..."

Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from inside the mansion. Yun Che's expression changed, and he immediately got up, dressed, and went out.

Upon entering the courtyard, they saw burly guards in golden armor, armed with weapons, arresting the servants one by one.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Che immediately shouted, his magical power surging, sending several Qi Refining Guards flying.

"Your Highness, it is the King's decree. Please do not resist."

At this moment, a guard commander who was ten feet tall and carrying a long axe walked out, exuding the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

After saying that, he made a gesture, and instantly more than ten guards stepped forward and set up a simple formation to surround Yun Che.

"you……"

Yun Che's expression immediately changed. Thinking of Yun Luo, whom he had seen in the palace at noon, his heart surged.

No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Yun Luo's appearance must mean something we don't know has happened.

"Alright, since it is my father's order, I will naturally obey."

His face turned deathly pale, and he forced a smile at the commander of the Imperial Guards, giving the impression that he had given up resisting.

Several guards stepped forward, broke free of the formation, and were about to put shackles on him.

At that moment, Yun Che's expression changed. He pushed forward with both hands, and the three guards were immediately sent flying backward, losing something. Then, he swayed and flew directly into the sky.

"You think you can catch me? Dream on, hahaha!"

After letting out a few triumphant laughs, he immediately flew out of the city.

not good!

The commander of the Imperial Guards' expression immediately changed. Just as he was about to give chase, a hand reached out and stopped him.

His arms were long and slender, covered with a brown robe.

"Step back, let me do it."

Batu glanced at the clouds in the sky and licked his lips with interest.

"Yes." The commander was slightly taken aback, but remembering that the king had instructed him to follow the orders of this honorific throughout this trip, he cupped his hands and said.

Batu, on the other hand, vanished from the spot with a thought.

In the sky, Yun Che sped towards the back mountain outside the city. Now that things had come to this, Yun Luo was definitely problematic, and there was a high probability that her father had also been influenced by her.

If he wanted to survive, only these two senior uncles could save him.

But before he had flown more than a few miles, his expression suddenly changed.

Not far ahead, a figure slowly emerged, slender and dressed in a brown robe.

"Run! Why did you stop running?"

Looking at Yun Che, Batu tilted his head and said.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Che steadied himself and asked Batu in a deep voice.

"May I ask who you are? I am the Crown Prince of Yun Kingdom, and I am on my way to find my two senior uncles from the Tianhe Sword Sect."

Without making a sound, he brought up the Tianhe Sword Sect, hoping to make the other party wary.

To his disappointment, the person in front of him did not react at all upon hearing the name of the Tianhe Sword Sect; instead, he grinned.

"Tianhe Sword Sect, two senior uncles, since you're so eager to see them, why don't I give you a ride?"

Yun Che's heart tightened instantly, and he quickly said.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I will go on my own." With that, he turned to run away.

Batu, however, said, "Why are you being so polite? Your two uncles miss you very much."

After saying that, it shook its head and transformed into a snake's head. Then, it opened its mouth and transformed into a blood-red maw that was tens of feet long, and bit down at Yun Che.

Upon seeing this, Yun Che's expression immediately changed, and he cried out in terror, "A great demon from the Purple Mansion..."

Before the words were finished, they were already in Batu's mouth.

He closed his mouth and licked his lips, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yan wouldn't let me eat those guys, otherwise my injuries would have healed long ago.

As Batu walked back, he thought of Yunhai and Zhao Ji and couldn't help but complain about Zhou Yan in his heart.

Meanwhile, inside Yun Zhe's residence, Yun Zhe had just dragged his injured body back. Before he could stay long, he saw Zhao Ji leading a group of imperial guards rushing in.

"Zhao Ji, what are you trying to do?"

Upon seeing this, Yun Zhe was immediately startled and then roared angrily.

"Your Highness, things have come to this, let's surrender," Zhao Ji said to Yun Zhe in shame, not daring to look at him.

"you……"

Pointing his finger at Zhao Ji, Yun Zhe trembled with rage.

"Your Highness, please do not resist." A commander of the Imperial Guards stepped forward, carrying a spear in one hand and a chain made of yin-yang stone in the other.

The other guards formed a circle around him. Just as the commander was about to advance further, a lewd voice suddenly rang out.

"Alright, I'll handle the interrogation. You can all leave now."

Everyone looked up and saw a figure in a brown robe lying on the roof beam with his legs crossed, then threw down a tiger tally.

Such profound cultivation.

Upon seeing Batu suddenly appear, Zhao Ji was immediately startled. He took the tiger tally and, seeing that it belonged to Yun Hai, led the guards outside.
