“Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”

“You don’t understand! All my strength outside has been crippled and I’m still grounded in the residence. I’m just a useless prince. No matter how unwilling such a person is, how can he touch her without strength if he wants revenge?”

The Demoness was quite surprised. After working together for so many years, she thought she had figured him out. She did not expect him to have such an understanding. None of the members of the imperial family was simple.

“How’s the preparation for that thing going?”

“Are you sure you want to use it?”

Crack!

The Sixth Prince crushed the teacup roughly. The tea flowed down his palm and onto the ground. His expression was ferocious, like a man-eating beast. “I’ve already fallen to such a state. My reputation is ruined. If I don’t muddy the waters, will I have any hope of getting the Crown Prince position?”

…

Two Realm River.

A stone bridge connected the two shores. The river below was violent, striking huge waves.

As long as he crossed this river, he would be in Tongzhou.

Ning An County was under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou County. At this point, they could reach the Grand Tutor’s hometown in another hundred miles.

The four of them stopped at the stone bridge and looked at the group on it. They were all martial artists with swords and sabers. Their cultivation was not weak and they blocked their way.

Their lecherous gazes were undisguised as they sized up Ji Xueyan. Even with the veil covering her face, it could not hide her beauty, especially her exposed skin. It was as fair as sheep fat and like beautiful jade, making them swallow hard. Their lower abdomens were hot, and they were even more determined to obtain her at all costs.

Zhang Ronghua said, “Leave their tongue behind. The rest can be dealt with later.”

“Yes.”

Zheng Fugui jumped down from the Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse.

There was no need to use a sword to deal with this group of trash.

He took a step and rushed forward with an afterimage.

“Kill!”

This group of martial artists charged toward him fiercely.

As long as the two were killed, the girls would be theirs.

The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. A terrifying power erupted from Zheng Fugui’s fists, blowing up their bodies one by one. In less than a minute, the battle was over.

He came back with a tongue and threw him on the ground.

“It’s none of my business. I heard them say that the number one beauty in the world was passing by. I was curious, so I stayed.”

“Tell me what you know.”

This person did not dare to hide it and told the truth.

From him, he learned that Miss Ning Xue from the capital’s [Heaven on Earth] was returning to her hometown to pay respects to her ancestors. This matter had already spread. It was great news to those who admired her.

Ning Xue was in the capital and was protected by Heaven on Earth. They did not dare to attack or have ill intentions, but after she left the capital, she no longer had the protection of Heaven on Earth. Even if she had guards by her side, with their strength, if one of them failed, a group of them would attack together. This scene happened.

Zhang Ronghua waved his hand and asked Zheng Fugui to kill him.

This matter looked simple, but there was a lot of information hidden.

If the daughter of the Grand Tutor went home to worship her ancestor, with his reputation in the Great Xia Empire, not to mention this group of ants, even those Holy Lands and transcendent factions would not dare to act rashly.

Whoever touched her would die!

But with a different person and a different identity, she had fewer scruples.

No matter how strong the Heaven on Earth was, it was just a brothel and could not compare to the Grand Tutor.

The person behind the scenes used a move to get rid of her with the help of an itinerant cultivator. It could not only anger the Grand Tutor but also drive the Crown Prince crazy and chaos the situation.

“You’re already involved.”

Ji Xueyan’s expression did not change. Her tone was indifferent. “They shouldn’t have done this.”

“There’s no turning back. Since we’re attacking, this is only the beginning. There might be greater danger ahead.”

“Are you afraid?”

“Our duty is to protect you.”

“Let’s go!”

Ji Xueyan clamped her horse’s stomach and left first, the Yue Ya following behind.

Zheng Fugui could not figure out what was going on. He had listened to the conversation just now for a long time and could understand every word. When they were combined, he was stunned. He asked curiously, “Is the number one beauty in the world very beautiful?”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll break your legs? When you return to the capital, you can go to Heaven on Earth to take a look.”

Seeing his cousin ride away, he hurried after him.

The heavens did not care. After a quarter of an hour of traveling, dark clouds covered the sky, and a hurricane whistled, sweeping up fallen leaves. Silver-white lightning roared and exploded in the nine heavens.

Zhang Ronghua said, “It’s going to rain. Let’s find a place to hide from the rain.”

“Alright!”

There was a dilapidated temple ahead, just enough to shelter from the rain.

The storm came in a hurry. Before they could reach the dilapidated temple, it tilted and rained down.

Fortunately, the four of them were all people with high cultivation levels. Even Yue Ya’s strength was hidden well. She was actually at the second level of the Grandmaster Realm. This made Zhang Ronghua sigh at the power of the Grand Tutor Manor and be curious. As the leader of the younger generation of the Jixia Academy, what cultivation level did Ji Xueyan have?

He used his internal force (true essence) to protect his body and erected a barrier to block the rain.

They entered the dilapidated temple.

Zheng Fugui went in to check. It had been abandoned for a long time. The ground was covered in dust, and there were spiderwebs in the corners. There was no danger.

He tied the Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse to a pillar at the door and entered the hall.

He took out two tents and placed them on the ground.

Zhang Ronghua said, “The conditions are simple. Make do.”

“Yes.” Ji Xueyan nodded.

He took out some braised food that he had bought in the capital before leaving. He placed them in the Five Dragon Spirit Control Belt. They would not spoil for a while.

Sitting on the ground, the four of them ate.

When they entered the tent, Zhang Ronghua instructed, “You’ll be in charge of the first half of the night. I’ll be in charge of the second half.”

In the tent.

Sitting on the blanket and cultivating the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique, the Black Yellow True Essence had already reached the critical point. He was just one step away from breaking through. He had a feeling that he could take another step forward during this period of time.

Outside.

Zheng Fugui executed his cousin’s words very thoroughly. He crossed his arms and stood at the door, his vigilant eyes patrolling the storm as if he wanted to find the danger hidden in the dark.

However, he did not idle. He multitasked and cultivated while on guard. He circulated the Profound Heaven Treasure Mirror and did not waste any time.

The rain was getting heavier.

In the latter half of the night, a thick fog rose and blocked their vision. They could not see each other standing opposite each other. Moreover, the rain was like a heavenly river flowing backward, as if it wanted to destroy everything.

Suddenly.

His ears twitched, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart. All the pores on his body opened as if a great horror was coming. He hurriedly shouted, “Something is wrong!”

Zhang Ronghua ended his cultivation and rushed out of the tent.

The girls came out at the same time.

“Listen!”

If even he could hear it, how could Zhang Ronghua and the other two not hear it?

There was a rustling around him. It was very soft and covered by the storm. It was impossible to hear without listening carefully.
