46: The mysterious master saves the empress, and the prime minister mobilizes the queen's faction!

Chu Yun’s expression darkened slightly: “Don’t ask about things that don’t concern you.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

How could Night Devour dare to say anything more? He obediently stayed in the air. Even so, he had just swallowed three Nirvana Realm Evil Infants, and after refining them, he would definitely gain a huge harvest.

Chu Yun’s gaze turned towards the Heavenly Demoness and her group.

Seeing Meng Ruxue at a disadvantage, his brows furrowed slightly, but he did not move, as if waiting for something.

By all accounts, she was the Prime Minister’s beloved daughter and the Reincarnation of the Celestial Fate Empress. Chu Yun naturally could not stand by and watch her perish tonight.

Boom!

At this moment, just as Yan Song was forcing Meng Ruxue into a desperate situation, a thunderous sound reverberated through Crescent Moon Valley.

The next moment, a lightning shadow instantly flashed through them, easily crushing the Heavenly Demoness’s magical seal and carrying Meng Ruxue away into the night sky.

The entire battle situation changed in less than a single breath.

On the field, Meng Ruxue’s figure was already gone.

“What?!”

“This…”

Yan Song was greatly surprised. He looked back, his Soul consciousness chasing, but he could no longer find any trace.

The Heavenly Demoness looked at the direction where Meng Ruxue and her group disappeared, her pupils deep as she murmured, “Venerable Realm…”

Chu Yun and Night Devour happened to fly over at this time. “It seems she had a backup plan. It’s a pity she got away.”

“Among the entire Great Xia Dynasty, I have never heard of a woman of the Shattered Realm level who possesses such means.”

“Young friend, young lady, who exactly is this woman?” Yan Song asked with a solemn expression.

“Her identity… we are also not clear.”

“However, Elder Yan Song and the three madams are fine, so that can be considered a fortunate thing,” Chu Yun replied.

“What the young friend said is true.”

“Tonight, I truly have to thank the young friend and the young lady for your help, otherwise tonight, I’m afraid I would have truly fallen into that woman’s trap.”

“May I ask which force the young friend and young lady are from?”

Yan Song understood that Chu Yun did not want to reveal the woman’s identity, so he did not press further.

But no matter what, he still had to thank Chu Yun and the other for saving his life.

“Elder Yan Song, my name is Chu Yun.”

“This young lady’s surname is Yu, and she is also my future wife,” Chu Yun introduced shamelessly.

“Chu Yun? Why does this name sound so familiar?”

“Chu… Chu Yun! Your Highness the Ninth Prince!!”

“You… You are the Ninth Prince?”

Yan Song’s pupils constricted, his expression changed.

“It’s good that Elder Yan Song knows. Then, regarding tonight’s matter, I ask Elder Yan Song to keep it a secret.”

“I don’t want a fifth person to know about this,” Chu Yun said with a faint smile.

Yan Song’s heart was filled with shock and amazement.

It was actually the Ninth Prince!

He actually had the ability to control Evil Infants!

This was simply terrifying!

If this were to get out, the entire Imperial City would experience a massive earthquake!

Moreover, this Jade Girl was no ordinary person either!

Not only was her appearance stunning, possessing a beauty that could topple nations, but her strength was also formidable, with a cultivation at the Peak of the Shattered Realm, her power was almost on par with the Nirvana Realm.

How could these two individuals both be such terrifying Prodigies?!

This Ninth Prince, was he too good at hiding his true capabilities?!

“Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely not breathe a word of this. No matter who asks, I will only say I don’t know!” Yan Song immediately guaranteed.

“Very good, then that’s all for now.”

“Xin’er, let’s go.”

The Heavenly Demoness turned around and left with Chu Yun and Night Devour.

Yan Song watched their departing figures, his heart long unable to calm down. “This Ninth Prince is such a Prodigy. It seems the Crown Prince’s position as heir may not be stable after all…”

…

On the way back.

“How do you control Evil Infants?”

“In the entire Yuan Realm, no one has ever possessed such an ability,” the Heavenly Demoness couldn’t help but ask him.

Chu Yun smiled indifferently: “It’s an Innate ability. There’s nothing I can do, this Prince is just that lucky.”

The Heavenly Demoness looked at him suspiciously: “Is this really an Innate ability?”

Chu Yun nodded: “Yes, the kind that’s truly purple!”

The Heavenly Demoness was silent for a moment, then cautioned: “Then you must be careful in the future. Try not to use this ability openly.”

“You don’t know yet what consequences mastering this ability will bring.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say that once the news of you being able to control Evil Infants reaches some powerful forces in the Yuan Realm, then you, including the Great Xia Dynasty, will face a devastating disaster.”

As Chu Yun listened to her words, his playful expression slowly turned serious: “Don’t worry, a man is innocent, but his possession of a treasure makes him guilty. I understand this principle better than anyone.”

…

In a mountain forest not far from the Imperial City,

A lightning shadow flashed, and Meng Ruxue’s figure landed there.

Her face was extremely wary as she asked around her, “Who is Your Excellency? Why did you save me?”

The surroundings were silent, with no response.

Meng Ruxue’s brows furrowed. That person had most likely already left.

But at this moment, she really couldn’t understand why a person of the Venerable Realm would save her for no reason.

At the same time, her heart was still shocked by the fact that Chu Yun could control Evil Infants.

“A Peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant… could it be him!”

After Meng Ruxue seriously recalled, a name couldn’t help but emerge in her mind.

Xiao Yan, who had won a Peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant from Misty Rain Tower!

Meng Ruxue’s expression was solemn, but she was also injured. The most urgent task was to return to the Prime Minister’s Residence as quickly as possible while it was still dark.

…

The next day.

As soon as Chu Yun finished his breakfast, Luo Feng rushed in anxiously.

“Your Highness, something has happened!”

Seeing Luo Feng’s anxious expression, Chu Yun couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

Luo Feng replied with a serious expression: “At the imperial court today, the Prime Minister listed a series of criminal evidence against four third-rank officials, including corruption, bribery, and violating the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty!”

“His Majesty was furious and ordered their official ranks to be directly stripped, their nine generations to be confiscated, and all of them to be imprisoned in the Celestial Prison to await judgment!”

Chu Yun heard this and said, “What does this have to do with me?”

Luo Feng continued: “Your Highness, do you know the identities of these four people?”

“They are all important officials of the Empress Faction, and the power they hold combined is almost comparable to a first-rank official!”

“Their arrest is like plucking out one of the Empress’s eyes!”
