48: The Evil Infant has upgraded to the Venerable level, Night Tun!!

Prime Ministers Residence.

In the main hall, Chu Yun and Meng Changzhong sat facing each other, while Luo Feng sat quietly to the side, silent.

Meng Changzhong brewed a pot of tea. The moment Chu Yun entered the residence, he knew that this Ninth Prince had already understood his intentions.

"Your Highness, your visit here is probably also for show, isn't it?"

"If that's the case, has Your Highness thought about how to respond next?" Meng Changzhong asked leisurely.

Chu Yun smiled faintly, "With the Prime Minister on my side, what does this Prince have to fear?"

"Besides, isn't it precisely what the Prime Minister and Father Emperor want, for them to make a move?"

"If they don't make a move, then what we're doing will be meaningless."

Meng Changzhong continued, "Regarding the events of that year, Your Highness must already know who the mastermind behind it was."

"For so many years, His Majesty has considered deposing the Crown Prince more than once, but due to various factors, the idea always died in its infancy."

"Now, with Your Highness's return and the undeniable talent you've displayed, everything combined makes you far stronger than the Crown Prince."

"It also allows His Majesty to finally implement this idea."

Chu Yun drank a cup of tea, listening to his words with much emotion. His expression turned serious as he said, "I'm not that kind. For the revenge of that year, merely the position of Crown Prince is far from enough."

"Only their blood can settle the score."

"This Imperial City is destined to welcome a great bloodbath."

Meng Changzhong heard this and said nothing.

Do not persuade others to be kind if you have not experienced their suffering.

Furthermore, Chu Yun was destined to inherit the Great Unification, so his heart naturally had to be ruthless enough.

"Your Highness, since I have already sided with Your Highness, I will naturally help Your Highness seize everything in the end."

"I have already received news that the Imperial Advisor has gone to the Eastern Palace, most likely to enter the palace with the Crown Prince to meet the Empress."

"Based on my understanding of them, they will soon retaliate against me, including Your Highness."

Meng Changzhong's tone was calm. Even knowing that the Empress Faction was about to retaliate against him, he did not appear anxious.

Chu Yun was also the same. His maternal uncle was still in the Imperial Palace.

Even if the Empress Faction wanted to deal with him, the first thing they would have to do is find a way to lure him away.

Otherwise, with his maternal uncle here, even if a Sect Master personally came, he would be unable to do anything to Chu Yun!

"Prime Minister, how do you think they will make their move?" Chu Yun asked calmly.

Meng Changzhong shook his head, picked up his teacup, and said, "I don't know."

"But what's certain is that, for now, they won't act against Your Highness's safety."

"The Shura Venerable is still in the city; they don't have that ability."

Chu Yun smiled faintly, "Prime Minister, since we're waiting for them to act, why don't we turn passive into active and strike first?"

Meng Changzhong's teacup paused in his hand, and he looked at him. "Does Your Highness mean to act against those Families in the city?"

Chu Yun laughed, "Since we've already torn off the mask, why not tear the opening even wider?"

"I also understand the Prime Minister's concerns, that the commotion in the city might be too great and give the Empress Faction a handle, right?"

Meng Changzhong said with some surprise, "Since Your Highness knows, do you perhaps have a solution?"

"What if I told you that neither the Empress nor the Imperial Advisor would be able to find any handle?" Chu Yun revealed a confident smile.

Meng Changzhong gazed deeply at him...

After about half an hour, Chu Yun and Luo Feng left the Prime Ministers Residence.

The main reason he dared to come to the Prime Ministers Residence this time was that he knew Meng Ruxue was injured and would definitely heal first, so Chu Yun wasn't worried about running into her.

Otherwise, even if Chu Yun had to go to the Prime Ministers Residence, he would have to wear a mask once inside.

Otherwise, if he encountered Meng Ruxue, things would be bad.

...

At night, Chu Yun's Princes Residence welcomed two distinguished guests.

They were both cloaked in black robes, concealing their identities.

It wasn't until they entered the main hall that the black robes were removed.

One of them was Yan Song, the Grand Elder of the Yan Family.

The other, who looked younger than Yan Song, was a middle-aged man, but his temples were already turning white. His Aura was extremely powerful, far surpassing Yan Song's.

"Elder Yan Song, we meet again."

"This must be Family Head Yan Ding, I've heard much about you."

Chu Yun politely smiled at the two.

He had sent the Heavenly Demoness to the Yan Family to have Yan Song and the Yan Family Head come here.

Because of the previous incident, Yan Song already admired this Ninth Prince immensely.

He had completely conquered this Grand Elder of the Yan Family deep in his heart.

"Ninth Prince, Your Highness is too kind."

"Your Highness is truly a talented individual, exactly as the rumors say." Yan Ding said politely.

Chu Yun smiled, "Come, sit."

After they sat down, Chu Yun didn't beat around the bush. "Gentlemen, you've probably guessed the purpose of my inviting you tonight."

"Therefore, I'll speak frankly."

"Given the current situation, only one side can survive between me and the Empress Faction."

"The Yan Family has always been neutral, not getting involved in imperial power disputes, but once this imperial power struggle fully unfolds, no influential Family in the Imperial City will be able to escape disaster!"

"Family Head Yan, you should understand what I mean."

Chu Yun's words were direct and to the point.

Once this imperial power struggle began, the neutral forces within the Imperial City would ultimately have no choice but to participate; it would be impossible for them to remain neutral forever.

Unless they were powerful enough to contend with the entire Great Xia Dynasty!

Yan Ding and the other listened to his words, deep in thought.

"Ninth Prince, I understand what you mean."

"Indeed, as you said, once this imperial power vortex spreads, it will be impossible for the Yan Family to remain neutral."

"But I want to know, why should my Yan Family choose you?"

"To be honest, although the Prime Ministers Residence is now on your side, the Eastern Palace's chances of winning are still greater than yours."

Yan Ding also spoke plainly.

If Chu Yun wanted the Yan Family to choose him, he had to provide a convincing reason.

"Just because I am Xiao Yan, plus this."

"I wonder if Family Head Yan feels that's enough?"

As Chu Yun's voice fell, a terrifying Aura from the Venerable Realm, belonging to an Evil Infant, enveloped the entire room.

Just a trace of its might made Yan Ding and the other feel as if they had fallen into an abyss, their hearts shaken.

Night Devour's Evil Infant phantom appeared behind Chu Yun, its evil eyes seemingly capable of dominating all aspects of their lives.

And Chu Yun at this moment was like an Evil Infant God, controlling all directions!

"A Venerable Realm Evil Infant!!!"

Yan Ding, enduring the terrifying pressure, exclaimed in shock, his face drenched in sweat.

Yan Song was completely stunned!

Wasn't he at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm last time?

How did he become a Venerable Realm today?!!

What kind of joke is this!!

One Realm a day!!

"Alright."

"That's enough."

At Chu Yun's signal, Night Devour's trace of might was withdrawn.

The two members of the Yan Family breathed a sigh of relief. Earlier, just that trace of pressure had rendered them completely unable to move; it was simply too terrifying!
