105: Do you think Yan Yuzhu is stupid? Who does Shen Tianxing think he is?

Shen Tianxing was in a very good mood now.

This trip to the Prince's Estate was fruitful; not only did he gain experience from a Peak of the Carefree Realm expert, but he also got a clear understanding of Prince Pei's true nature.

He killed your people, and you didn't even dare to make a sound!

Prince Pei even had to accompany him out of the Prince's Estate with a smiling Face.

Nothing was more satisfying than this!

...Outside the Prince's Estate!

The carriage was already prepared.

Zhou Lin, Wang Huaiyuan, and other experts mounted their horses, escorting Shen Tianxing's carriage as it departed.

Bang!!!

Inside the Prince's Estate, as soon as Prince Pei returned to the main hall, he grabbed an exquisite mutton-fat jade wine pot and smashed it to pieces.

Bang bang bang... The continuous sounds of crashing filled the air as the luxurious, intricately carved jade within was shattered to smithereens!

The sound carried far.

"Too much! Too much!!!"

"How dare he use an imperial edict to pressure me!!!"

"I'll see if you can leave West Continent alive!!!"

The anger suppressed in Prince Pei's heart finally erupted completely after Shen Tianxing left.

He had endured for a very long time!

No matter how much he could endure, he couldn't tolerate a sixteen-year-old brat being so presumptuous in front of him.

To him, this was a humiliation!

Even when he failed to contend for the throne back then, he hadn't felt as enraged as he did today; at least those who contended for the throne were all powerful overlords, equal in status to him!

What was Shen Tianxing!?

"Your Highness... calm down. We cannot lose our composure at this moment!"

"In my humble opinion, Shen Tianxing is so arrogant and conceited, why don't we strike first and gain the upper hand!"

"Kill this little..."

Slap!!!

Before Duan Rui could finish his sentence, Prince Pei's eyes blazed with fire, and he slapped him.

It was a solid slap, and half of Duan Rui's Face swelled up like a pig's head.

"Your Highness, forgive me!"

After taking the slap, Duan Rui sobered up.

Lin Xiuquan's fate was still vivid in his mind; how could he dare to make decisions for Prince Pei?

As one of his confidants, he should know Prince Pei's personality!

"Are you out of your mind!!!"

"What is this place? This is Pei Wang City! My city!!!"

"Leaving aside whether we can kill Shen Tianxing! Even if we kill him, what then?"

"Do you think Yan Yuzhu is a fool?"

"When she sent Shen Tianxing here, did you really think it was only to deal with Demons, Monsters, and Ghost Cultivators?"

"She just needs an excuse! The same excuse she used to destroy the Wenjian Sect!!!"

Prince Pei ranted uncontrollably, making Duan Rui wish he could die!

A steward like him had strength and cunning.

But his vision and perspective simply couldn't keep up with Prince Pei's!

The mind of an emperor was even less something a small figure like him could fathom!

Was Shen Tianxing foolish?

If he were foolish, would he openly oppose Prince Pei?

If he were truly just a foolish, reckless man, Shen Tianxing wouldn't have been able to leave the Prince's Estate so easily today!

"This humble one deserves death."

Duan Rui no longer dared to offer reckless advice.

Prince Pei had vented his anger, and his rage had mostly dissipated, returning him to his usual calm state.

The Heavenly Prison had been taken over, and the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators hiding inside still didn't know the news.

Once Shen Tianxing arrived, no one inside would be able to escape!

The immediate priority was to find a way to get the Demon Sects and Ghost Dao Sects to send experts to take them away.

Secondly, Shen Tianxing had used an imperial edict to pressure him today, causing him such great humiliation that he couldn't swallow it!

"You immediately notify the Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters, the Six Sects of the Ghost Path, and the various major Schools from other Imperial Dynasties to come and take the people before Shen Tianxing takes over the Heavenly Prison!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Duan Rui felt as if he had received a great pardon; not being punished was like having his life returned to him. He quickly left to handle the matter.

Boom!!!

The main hall's doors closed, and the entire hall suddenly plunged into darkness.

The eerie hall, compared to the brightness outside, appeared so strange and chilling.

Inside the hall, a figure emerged from a corner and knelt respectfully.

"What are Your Highness's orders?"

The figure seemed shrouded in thick mist, its form and Face obscured, and its voice was icy, devoid of any warmth, as if it were a statue.

Prince Pei stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm and unperturbed, deep and composed.

"Deliver the news of Shen Tianxing's arrival in Pei Wang City to the Demon Sect!"

The Holy Heaven Demon Sect was interested in Shen Tianxing; this was no longer a secret to the outside world, and he naturally knew it. Originally, he hadn't planned to get involved, but now, he didn't mind giving it a push.

"Yes!"

As Prince Pei gave the order, the dark figure, like a blob of black ink, transformed into a wisp of vapor and dissipated.

"I hope Shen Tianxing doesn't go to the Heavenly Prison too quickly!"

The dim light receded, and the hall returned to brightness. Prince Pei stood at the main entrance, muttering to himself... On the street.

Shen Tianxing's carriage slowly made its way out of the city.

On either side of the carriage, Wang Huaiyuan and Zhou Lin served as guards.

The carriage window was open, and Shen Tianxing and Zhou Lin chatted softly along the way.

His curiosity about the Qimen Division made him quite interested in Zhou Lin's abilities.

Using Esoteric Arts, he could actually restrain experts several Realms higher than himself. This Zhou Lin, who usually kept a low profile, truly gave him a surprise.

"Sir, I've always had a question that I can't figure out."

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhou Lin had been hesitant all along, and Shen Tianxing had noticed it long ago. His casual chat was also waiting for him to speak.

"I feel that Prince Pei's attitude is not right. Logically speaking, with you holding an imperial edict, representing Your Majesty, you should have unobstructed passage."

"Prince Pei only needs to cooperate."

"But he seemed very reluctant, showing resistance everywhere. Why is that?"

Oh?

Shen Tianxing couldn't help but look at him seriously.

This Zhou Lin was not simple; he could actually see through the intricacies.

The confrontation in the Prince's Estate today, without knowing the inside story, would be very difficult for outsiders to discern.

That Zhou Lin could see this point made him quite a talent.

Using 'resistance' to describe it was actually giving Prince Pei Face!

"You're right, but you can be even bolder!"

"What?" Zhou Lin was confused.

Shen Tianxing smiled, "Prince Pei is a failed contender for the throne, having lived in a remote corner for many years. Has he truly given up?"

"I don't think so. His ambition is much greater!"

Zhou Lin's eyes widened slightly.

What did this mean?

"Prince Pei... still wants to contend for the throne? How dare he?"

The Qimen Division was under the sole control of the Empress, and everyone in it was carefully selected, loyal only to the Empress!

As a direct subordinate of the Empress, he knew how serious this matter was!

"There's nothing he wouldn't dare!"

"In this world, as long as there are enough benefits, what's a mere betrayal?"

"Prince Pei knows very well that relying solely on the power of this West Continent, once His Majesty learns of his plans, there will only be death."

"Therefore, his cooperation with the Various Demon Sects and Various Ghost Dao Sects is inevitable."

"Otherwise, why do you think I want to take over the Heavenly Prison?"

The Heavenly Prison was the easiest place to overlook. After Shen Tianxing's Cultivation reached the Fifth Level of the Carefree Realm, his Divine Soul Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already sensed the abnormality there!

There was a large amount of Demonic Qi there, as well as the aura of Soul Cultivators.

Prince Pei thought he had hidden it well, but it couldn't escape Shen Tianxing's eyes!

Zhou Lin's heart was stirred like a raging storm!

This news was too shocking!!!

With the help of the Various Demon Sects and Ghost Dao Sects, even if they couldn't overthrow Great Qi, they could probably achieve a balance of power!!!

Prince Pei deserved to die!!!
