32: At the top of Cangfeng, Meng Ruxue left the house!
“Midnight, Cangfeng Mountain Range… Why choose such a place?”
“Could this be a trap?” The Prince of Guanshan, Beisong, asked with some caution.
“Even if he can set a trap, how far can he trap us?”
“Are we still worried about a Golden Core Realm Cultivator?”
“Besides, that Xiao Yan doesn’t even know who we are, and his willingness to meet is mostly because of that Nirvana Realm Evil Infant, so the possibility of a trap is not high.”
Elder Wang Hancuo of the Divine Sect said with full confidence.
“Elder Wang makes sense.”
“Xiao Yan doesn’t even know who we are. Choosing to meet in the Cangfeng Mountain Range might just be for his own safety.”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, Your Excellency, what do you think?” The Crown Prince asked the Black Iron King.
“My thoughts are the same as Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Besides, this matter has already been approved by the Empress, so we don’t need to have any qualms.”
“Elder Wang, Prince Beisong, the three of us will head to the Cangfeng Mountain Range tonight.”
“As for Your Highness the Crown Prince, you can temporarily stay in the Eastern Palace and await our news.” The Black Iron King said repeatedly.
“Alright.”
The Prince of Guanshan and Wang Hancuo, among others, all nodded in agreement.
Two Nirvana Realm, one Shattered Realm.
With the three of them going, even if Xiao Yan really wanted to play some tricks, they wouldn’t be afraid in the slightest.
“Alright!”
“Then I will wait here for good news from Your Excellency and the two of you.”
“Xiao Yan, please make sure to bring him back and tell him that I have admired him for a long time.”
Crown Prince Chu Rong raised his wine cup and toasted them.
Everyone raised their cups in return.
… … … …
Late at night, the Black Iron King, Wang Hancuo, and the Prince of Guanshan all left the Eastern Palace and covertly headed towards the city gate.
At the same time, Meng Ruxue in the Prime Ministers Residence also received the news.
“Young Miss, the Eastern Palace has made a move.”
“Elder Wang Hancuo of the Divine Sect, the Black Iron King, and Prince Beisong are currently leaving the Eastern Palace overnight and heading towards the city gate.”
Meng Ruxue looked at the woman: “Which city gate?”
“The East City Gate!”
Swish!!
Meng Ruxue vanished from the room with a swish, leaving only traces of fragrance.
… … …
Cangfeng Mountain Range.
At this moment, Chu Yun was wearing a mask, had changed his hairstyle, and even deliberately changed into clothes he had never worn before.
He and Venerable Wan Lei, who was also wearing a mask, stood atop the mountain Peak. The biting cold wind blew, causing Chu Yun’s long hair to flutter slightly.
Before long, it was midnight.
Wang Hancuo and the Black Iron King, among others, slowly flew up from the mountain path below.
“They’re here.”
Chu Yun murmured inwardly. Under the night sky, the mountain was dark, but with the moonlight, Chu Yun could clearly see the faces of the three.
Wang Hancuo and the Black Iron King, among others, stood erect directly in front of Chu Yun.
The two parties had officially met.
“Is Your Excellency Young Master Xiao Yan?” The Black Iron King was the first to ask.
Chu Yun suppressed his voice and calmly said: “It is I.”
“How can you prove it?” The Black Iron King asked with a feigned smile.
“No proof is needed.”
“I don’t think anyone in the entire Great Xia Dynasty would dare to impersonate Xiao Yan, except for myself.”
Chu Yun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them with firm eyes, speaking calmly and confidently.
Wang Hancuo smiled faintly: “Young Master Xiao Yan is indeed a peerless Prodigy.”
“Indeed, at this current juncture, only a fool would impersonate Young Master Xiao Yan.”
Chu Yun responded calmly and composedly: “Since that’s the case, then first show me your sincerity, Your Excellencies.”
Wang Hancuo smiled: “No problem.”
Immediately after, Wang Hancuo took out a box containing an Evil Infant from his Storage Ring.
“Sealed within this is a Nirvana Realm Middle Stage Evil Infant. Although it cannot compare to the one from Misty Rain Tower, it is our heartfelt intention to meet with Young Master Xiao Yan.”
Wang Hancuo presented the box.
After Chu Yun received it, he secretly used his Netherworld Divine Eyes to confirm it and affirmed that it was indeed a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant inside.
“I have received Your Excellencies’ sincerity.”
“Now, let’s get down to business.”
“Which force are Your Excellencies from?”
“You wish to see me, but for what purpose?”
After Chu Yun accepted the box, he asked directly without any further delay.
At the same time, on the Peak of Cangfeng Mountain, there were not only their two groups of people.
An Elder from Misty Rain Tower, specifically responsible for stealth and tracking, was hiding by the edge of the cliff, observing the movements over here.
Including Meng Ruxue, she had followed the Black Iron King and his group out of the city and was now hidden behind a large boulder, concealing her Qi, her gaze fixed on Chu Yun.
However, what disappointed her somewhat was that.
This person named Xiao Yan was not the Heavenly Demoness’s Clone.
She and the Heavenly Demoness had been rivals for many years; as long as it was her Clone, Meng Ruxue could tell with just one glance.
And this Xiao Yan in front of her was not her.
But since she had already come, she also wanted to see what background this Xiao Yan had?
Defeating a Golden Core Realm Peak with Golden Core Realm Early Stage; even when she was an Emperor in her previous life, such a Heaven's Chosen was rare.
“Young Master Xiao Yan, let me introduce myself first.”
“I, Wang, am the Third Elder of the Divine Sect, Wang Hancuo.”
“These two are the Black Iron King of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the other is the Prince of Guanshan County.”
The moment Chu Yun heard the identities of Wang Hancuo and the other two, his pupils subtly changed deep down.
It turned out to be people from the Empress Faction!
Then tonight was truly a coincidence.
If it was just the three of them, Venerable Wan Lei would likely have no problem taking care of them all.
“Your Excellencies’ identities are somewhat surprising to me.”
“Elder Wang, then what do you wish to discuss with me?” Chu Yun asked with a hint of interest.
“Young Master Xiao, may I ask if Young Master Xiao has a master? Or belongs to which Sect or Family force?” Wang Hancuo asked.
“No master, no Sect. Your Excellencies, feel free to speak your minds.” Chu Yun said.
“Good.”
“Since that’s the case, we won’t beat around the bush.”
“Young Master Xiao, we are here on behalf of the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince, to invite Young Master Xiao to join the Eastern Palace.”
“If Young Master Xiao is willing to agree, His Highness the Crown Prince said that Young Master Xiao can name his terms. He personally admires Young Master Xiao greatly!” The Black Iron King said directly.
Chu Yun hadn't expected that it was the Empress and the Crown Prince who wanted to win him over.
At this moment, he even felt like he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
If they knew that Xiao Yan’s true identity was the Ninth Prince whom they wanted to eliminate, he wondered what kind of expression they would have.
Chu Yun did not answer immediately.
He thought carefully to himself and suddenly had a better idea.
“Joining the Eastern Palace…”
“Your Excellencies, please convey to the Crown Prince that Xiao Yan appreciates his intentions, but what I desire is likely something you do not possess, so let’s not make things difficult for each other.” Chu Yun said, using retreat as a means to advance.
“Young Master Xiao Yan, what do you need? Please speak freely.” The Black Iron King looked at him, his expression serious.
