59: Shura leaves, by chance!

"Chu Yun, you...how could you be Xiao Yan?"

"How could you have a Venerable Realm expert secretly hidden by your side?!"

Wang Hancuo's hoarse voice trembled with extreme shock.

Chu Yun was unmoved, a cold smile on his face: "You don't need to know these things."

The next moment, Chu Yun released the Blood Heaven World, and endless blood Qi surged from his body, enveloping the entire secret chamber.

At this moment, everyone had entered the Blood Heaven World. The current Blood Heaven World, from a blood pool, had already evolved into a long river of blood.

All of this was thanks to those blood essence stones.

After Chu Yun fused them, the Blood Heaven World continuously evolved, and his combat power also received a considerable boost.

"Thi...Third Prince?!"

Wang Hancuo and Black Iron King at this moment didn't care about researching where this place was, only because before them was a man who had been tormented to the point of mental and physical collapse, with disheveled hair.

That was none other than Third Prince Chu Yuan!

"Third Prince, how could you..."

Wang Hancuo's words suddenly stopped.

He thought of a terrifying possibility.

If the Third Prince was imprisoned here, then the Third Prince in the Eastern Palace must be an imposter!

Chu Yuan at this moment didn't even have the strength to speak a single word; even hearing someone call out to him, he couldn't lift his head.

After so many days of continuous torment, he truly experienced the feeling of being unable to live and unable to die.

He had broken down countless times. Now, besides his intense hatred for Chu Yun, what he also harbored was a longing for Death.

For him now, Death was, instead, a kind of liberation.

"Black Iron King, Wang Han.

"This Prince is not in a hurry to kill you two yet. You two stay here and keep Chu Yuan company."

"When the day comes to face Lan Ji, I will definitely let you two see each other one last time."

"Oh, and no need to thank me. Doing good deeds doesn't require recognition."

Chu Yun smiled faintly, and then he manipulated the blood Qi of the blood river, transforming it into thousands of blood snakes that bit at their bodies.

Just like Chu Yuan, the blood poison released by the blood snakes began to gradually spread throughout their entire bodies.

They had already suffered severe injuries, and the pain was amplified to the maximum by Night Devour.

At this moment, suffering the invasion of the blood poison, they instantly shrieked with all their might, their bodies trembling uncontrollably from the extreme pain.

"Ding!"

"The hatred of Black Iron King and Wang Han has reached one hundred percent."

"Chu Yun!! You will surely die a horrible Death!!"

"The Empress and the Divine Sect will undoubtedly tear you to pieces!" Wang Han roared in despair, enduring the pain.

Chu Yun ignored their struggles.

He merely smiled at their impotent roars.

"Let's go."

"Yes, Master."

He and Night Devour left the Blood Heaven World and returned to the secret chamber.

Chu Yun slowly took out the box containing the Evil Infant, which was exactly where the Nirvana Realm Evil Infant was Sealed.

"This is for you."

"I hope you won't disappoint me and strive to Breakthrough as soon as possible." Chu Yun threw the box to Night Devour.

Night Devour was overjoyed. After taking it, he immediately said, "Thank you, Master!"

Afterward, Chu Yun found Luo Feng and entered the Imperial Palace with him.

...

Prime Ministers Residence.

Meng Ruxue had been in seclusion recuperating from her injuries since returning from Crescent Moon Valley.

Today, her injuries finally healed.

However, as soon as she emerged from seclusion, she learned that Xiao Yan was currently being hunted with a bounty.

Furthermore, her father, Meng Changzhong, had personally instructed her not to leave the Residence during this period.

After learning that her father had sided with Ninth Prince Chu Yun and what he had done against the Empress Faction, Meng Ruxue also guessed some of the reasons.

Most likely, her father feared retaliation from the Empress and that she would be targeted, which was why he told her not to leave the Residence recently.

At this moment, in her boudoir.

After the beautiful woman finished reporting everything, she continued: "Young Miss, according to the Prime Minister's instructions, it seems we won't be able to do anything for a while."

"Your injuries have just healed. Since that's the case, why not rest for a while first?"

Meng Ruxue knew that her subordinates were also worried about her.

After all, there was the Heavenly Demoness and that Xiao Yan lurking in the shadows, and openly, the Empress Faction was still hostile to her father.

Especially that Xiao Yan, she still couldn't see through him even now!

To be able to control an Evil Infant was simply unheard of.

It was precisely because of these factors that her current situation was the worst it had been in years.

"No."

"Sitting idly by will only lead to a faster Death..."

Meng Ruxue wasn't actually worried about the Empress Faction; what she was more concerned about and focused on was the Heavenly Demoness.

Given her talent, it was highly possible that she would Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm before her at some point.

And she herself was still trapped by the Nirvana Curse, so the gap would only widen.

Therefore, she had to find another method; she couldn't just waste time like this!

Meng Ruxue thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

If her father had already sided with the Ninth Prince, then perhaps she could use the Ninth Prince to help her refine the nirvana source.

Although Chu Yun's Foundation in the Imperial City was relatively shallow, he was, after all, the Shi Family's darling.

If she could rely on the Shi Family's power, then her hope of refining the nirvana source would surely greatly increase.

"Do you know where Chu Yun is now?" Meng Ruxue asked.

"Young Miss, we received news earlier that he and Shadow Guard Commander Luo Feng entered the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor," the woman replied.

"Entering the Imperial Palace..."

"Let's go, we're going too."

"I want to see him."

Meng Ruxue immediately stood up, ready to step out of the room.

"But Young Miss, the Prime Minister said we shouldn't..." Her words were cut off by Meng Ruxue: "Don't worry, even if the Empress's people really want to act, they wouldn't choose broad daylight."

"Moreover, since I'm entering the Imperial Palace this time, it's even less likely they would act within the Imperial Palace; that would undoubtedly be a slap to the face of the entire Great Xia Dynasty."

Meng Ruxue was very confident in her grasp of those people's psychology, convinced that entering the Imperial Palace today would be absolutely safe.

Immediately after, she and the woman boarded a carriage and left the Xiang Residence, heading towards the Imperial Palace.

...

Chu Yun would never have known that he would, by a strange coincidence, encounter Meng Ruxue face-to-face in the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, he was originally heading to the Imperial Study, but halfway there, he received a message from his uncle, so he and Luo Feng first came to his mother's side.

"Uncle, Mother."

"What's so urgent?" As soon as he entered the hall, Chu Yun asked.

"Yun'er, your uncle has to leave the Imperial City for a while," Shura Venerable said directly.

Chu Yun was actually mentally prepared for this.

He had already received the news from the Heavenly Demoness in advance.

If the Empress Faction really wanted to deal with him, the first thing they would have to do was send his uncle away.

Otherwise, they would have no chance of success.

At this moment, Chu Yun also asked, feigning ignorance: "Uncle, is it because of the Empress Faction?"

Shura Venerable nodded: "The Venerables of the Corpse Yin Sect and the Blood God Sect are constantly harassing some of the Shi Family's territories."

"I must go back and thoroughly deal with these flies!"
