115: Five days have passed. Is Shen Tianxing living in the Heavenly Prison?

Prince Yan had experienced the imperial succession struggle back then, so he naturally understood Prince Pei very well.

He knew even more how ambitious Prince Pei was.

When he failed to contend for the throne that year, the late emperor did not kill him but instead exiled him back to his fiefdom, which was actually giving him a chance.

But now, it seemed the late emperor was mistaken.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this old subject understands!"

A simple "understands" was enough; the Empress didn't need to say anything more.

This old subject, who had served three dynasties, naturally knew what to do!

Yan Yuzhu nodded and said, "Shen Tianxing reported to me that great chaos is approaching in Nanyuan Domain, and high-level Demonic Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators will follow."

"The biggest hidden danger might not be them, but the great sect that is about to emerge, the Holy Heaven Demon Sect!"

"For this trip to Nanyuan Domain, the Three Departments will go together. The Chief Director of the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division will rendezvous with you in Nanyuan Domain to cooperate with Shen Tianxing."

"Uncle Fourteen, I trouble you with this!"

Prince Yan respectfully said, "Your Majesty, rest assured!"

With his seniority, he was an undisputed commander!

Whether in terms of experience or Cultivation Realm, Prince Yan far surpassed everyone!

He was the stabilizing force, like a divine needle, guarding a region!

This was also why Yan Yuzhu invited him out!

Xie Tianjian, Situ Kuanglei, and Xing Yao respectfully assented.

After giving instructions, Yan Yuzhu glanced at an Old Eunuch who had been waiting outside the door, and beckoned him into the main hall.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"This old servant greets Your Majesty."

The person who arrived was Wei Qianli.

"Greetings, Prince Yan!"

When Wei Qianli saw Prince Yan, a light flashed in his eyes, and he also respectfully bowed.

In Wei Qianli's eyes, this Fourteenth Prince, who used to be obsessed with martial arts all day long, was unfathomable!

Even he couldn't see through the other party's Realm!

One must know that he had personally watched Prince Yan grow up; Prince Yan's age, in front of him, could only be considered a youth.

But when it came to Cultivation, Wei Qianli, a master of the Soul Palace Realm, was far inferior to Prince Yan!

No wonder he sighed inwardly!

"Wei Qianli, this time you will accompany Uncle Fourteen to Nanyuan Domain."

"Follow the instructions of the Imperial Uncle and Shen Tianxing in all matters."

An Old Eunuch like Wei Qianli was a sharp weapon; if used well, he could play a significant role!

But they were inherently flawed, their Heart-Nature different from normal people, and there was a fear that they might act recklessly, too darkly, losing all sense of proportion.

Therefore, specific instructions were necessary.

"This old servant respectfully obeys Your Majesty's decree."

Wei Qianli nodded in assent, shrinking his body and standing behind Prince Yan.

"Alright, you all go quickly. I will wait for your return in the Imperial City and celebrate your success!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"

With the Empress's decree issued, Prince Yan, leading the Chief Directors of the Three Departments and the Old Eunuch Wei Qianli, left the Imperial City that very day!

Great events were about to unfold in Nanyuan Domain, so Prince Yan and his group would naturally lead a large number of masters, including palace venerables and some elders from the Three Departments.

They left silently, without attracting anyone's attention!

...Nanyuan Domain, Pei Wang City!

The Heavenly Prison was still enveloped by a vast Formation!

Shen Tianxing had been inside for five days!

During these five days, hundreds of masters from the Qimen Division were divided into several groups, guarding the outside without a moment's rest.

Masters from various forces within Pei Wang City felt very strange. After much inquiry, they learned that Shen Tianxing had been in the Heavenly Prison and hadn't come out.

"Strange, is Shen Tianxing living inside?"

"I think he's in secluded Cultivation. His Aptitude and talent far surpass those of a Prodigy, and his Cultivation speed is very fast. It seems he's about to advance further this time!"

"That possibility is quite high. However, what exactly is in this Heavenly Prison? If he's truly in secluded Cultivation, it's been so many days, he should have appeared by now."

Shen Tianxing's peculiar actions made all the Cultivators increasingly curious.

What secret was hidden within the Heavenly Prison?

If there were no secrets, Shen Tianxing would have no need to forgo Prince Pei's Imperial Garden and instead live in this eerie and terrifying Heavenly Prison.

Not only were they curious, but the people from the Qimen Division were equally puzzled.

But they weren't as curious to get to the bottom of it; their job was simply to guard the entrance and exit of the Heavenly Prison...

Prince Pei's Mansion!

Prince Pei, who had feigned illness for five days, summoned Min Wenshu and played chess in the garden.

In these past few days, people had constantly come to visit, but he refused to see any of them!

No matter how prominent their background or how extensive their business dealings with Pei Wang City, he treated them all the same!

"Your Highness, Shen Tianxing has been in the Heavenly Prison for five days. Those Demonic Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators have probably all been suppressed by him."

"Shouldn't we make some preparations?"

As an advisor, Min Wenshu had been closely monitoring the Heavenly Prison for the past few days, even wanting to send people to gather information.

But the Qimen Division members were difficult to approach, and he had no way to get any news.

Even the Prison Officials and Prison Guards who were originally stationed in the Heavenly Prison couldn't come out.

Prince Pei felt somewhat vexed.

He also didn't know what Shen Tianxing was up to!

He was even more afraid that his secrets would be uncovered by Shen Tianxing.

Although he could deny everything, it would still have some impact on him.

"Let fate decide!"

"In short, before the Demonic Cultivators and Various Ghost Dao Sects arrive, we will do nothing!"

"Whatever happens inside has nothing to do with us!"

Prince Pei was unwilling to mention Shen Tianxing; that name was like a mountain, pressing down on him, making him extremely uncomfortable, yet unable to move it.

He could only continue to endure.

Min Wenshu placed a chess piece and said in a deep voice, "This person is not old, yet his wisdom and cunning are hard to fathom. His actions are bizarre, making him impossible to see through!"

"Given his standing before the Empress, I truly fear that he might obtain some evidence from the Heavenly Prison that is unfavorable to Your Highness, giving the Empress an opportunity to trouble us."

Min Wenshu could see this point, and so could Prince Pei.

He was now in a dilemma, like being roasted over a torch, unable to advance or retreat!

He could only respond to all changes by remaining unchanged!

"Hmph, even if he knows something, so what?"

"I just won't admit it!"

Clack!

A chess piece was pressed down by Prince Pei. On the black and white chessboard, the Aura shifted, and Min Wenshu, who was playing black, instantly lost the entire game!

Min Wenshu was stunned for a moment, then could only shake his head helplessly.

"Your Highness won. In terms of strategy, Your Highness is superior!"

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost!

...At this very moment!

Inside the Heavenly Prison, in a massive torture chamber.

Shen Tianxing sat cross-legged, true Qi swirling around him, his Qi like a soaring Dragon, moving throughout the entire torture chamber.

Vast and boundless true Qi continuously flowed through his Meridians, and a mysterious, solemn golden glow emanated from his Physical Body.

The dense golden light illuminated the entire torture chamber, and the massive Demonic Physical Bodies and Ghost Cultivator corpses around him could be seen clearly!

They were densely packed, filling a whole space!

In the air, an endless stream of black Yin Qi, Evil Qi, Demonic Qi, and Spiritual Qi visibly converged rapidly into Shen Tianxing's body.

This was the "Seven Absolutes Yin Fiend Art" automatically absorbing all energy Auras.

And the Aura emanating from Shen Tianxing's body, with each breath, surged like rolling waves, continuously increasing!
