365: Prince An leaves the pass

Not long after, a clansman hurriedly arrived with another report and said, "Over two months ago, several incidents occurred at Prince Fu's Mansion. First, Prince Fu suddenly went to the Xuanji Tower in Yingtian Prefecture to seek divination. Second, Prince Fu's Mansion's steward, Zhu Nan, suddenly took a private plane to Fengyang County. Third, the Southern Yue city defense forces left the city to track the Feng Residence's air fleet, but later returned. Fourth, the personnel movements of the city defense forces have been quite frequent recently, but the specific reason has not yet been discovered..."

"Wait, are you saying that Steward Zhu Nan went to Fengyang County?" Liu Rushi interjected.

"Yes! It took about five days in total!" the clansman replied.

"It seems there is no mistake! Since Long Yuan is from Fengyang County, Zhu Nan must have gone to Fengyang County to confirm Long Yuan's identity!" Liu Rushi said.

Liu Gong Wang pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "That should be the case! Furthermore, looking at the timing, the issuance of that prefectural order occurred shortly after Zhu Nan returned. It seems this matter is also related to Long Yuan!"

"Are you saying, Uncle Wang, that the reason Prince Fu issued this order is because of Long Yuan? Would he listen to Long Yuan?" Liu Rushi asked in surprise.

"That is perfectly normal! Prince Fu's Mansion can only possibly survive now by relying on Long Yuan's abilities. Regardless of what conditions Long Yuan proposes, that good-for-nothing Prince Fu must obediently comply! If it weren't for Long Yuan, I fear no one in Prince Fu's Mansion could make Prince Fu issue such an order, not even himself. As the saying goes, it is easier to change rivers and mountains than a person's nature. Prince Fu issuing such an order is just making things difficult for himself; it does not align with his nature," Liu Gong Wang laughed.

"Uncle Wang makes sense! It seems Long Yuan is truly the backbone of Prince Fu's Mansion now; even that good-for-nothing Prince Fu has to listen to him... Perhaps even today's incident was instigated by Long Yuan behind the scenes..." Liu Rushi laughed coyly.

"Indeed, one could say the situation at Prince Fu's Mansion has completely changed, yet we only just realized it now; we were truly too slow... If it weren't for Young Miss taking the lead in causing trouble today, I fear we would still be kept in the dark..." Liu Gong Wang sighed.

"Giggle, I just stumbled into it by accident. As for the frequent personnel movements of the Southern Yue city defense forces mentioned earlier, that is actually related to Long Yuan leading people to surround and suppress the exotic beasts on Wind Wolf Mountain!" Liu Rushi recounted the information she had obtained from Ran Yiyi, leaving the others incredibly shocked and with their eyes shining...

"Sister, is Long Yuan really that powerful now? He defeated so many exotic beasts on Wind Wolf Mountain all by himself and saved so many people?!" Liu Ru Hua said excitedly.

Liu Rushi glared at her and huffed, "This news should be true! I wanted to force Long Yuan out because I also wanted to obtain the blood of the Wolf Saint's Clone from him, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning that he wouldn't even show his face!"

"Oh, isn't he preparing for a concert? How would he have time to deal with Prince Fu's Mansion's affairs?" Liu Ru Hua said.

"You?! Very well, it seems you are also his fan, aren't you?" Liu Rushi scolded.

"Hee hee, I'm not just his fan; I'm also one of the fan club leaders..." Liu Ru Hua laughed, then turned and ran away...

"You're done for, you're really done for..." Liu Rushi said while chasing after Liu Ru Hua...

Liu Gong Wang and that clansman watched, dumbfounded and speechless...

At the Southern Yue Academy, in a suite at the hotel apartment.

Long Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion. Before his eyes, scenes kept flashing by; the scene of Liu Rushi and the others just now was among them. However, Long Yuan only paused briefly before passing over it, because the information stream regarding this incident had already been completely absorbed and digested by him in that instant, and the cause and effect were clear. He said to himself, "The Formation at Prince Fu's Mansion is still primarily defensive. When I have time, I will install an offensive Formation. This way, with a balance of offense and defense, the power will be even greater!"

This thought also flashed through his mind. Soon, he continued absorbing and digesting the wild stream of information. Suddenly, he widened his eyes and said in shock, "No way? Information from Shuntian Prefecture?!"

It turned out that the information stream was mixed with countless signals from Shuntian Prefecture. As soon as he interpreted them, he discovered they were all messages from Shuntian Prefecture, which immediately made him overjoyed!

"Great! The Heavenly Eye's capabilities have already extended to the Shuntian Prefecture region; this will make things much more convenient!!!" Long Yuan clenched his fists slightly, feeling excited, and pumped himself up.

Recently, the Heavenly Eye's capabilities have been improving faster than before. The reason, naturally, is because it completely absorbed the waste from the Heavenly Pit, as well as the waste from Southern Yue City and several subordinate secondary bases. The energy points converted by the Devouring Dao have increased significantly, currently reaching over one hundred thousand. Long Yuan has hardly used these energy points because he feels his recent Cultivation speed is already very fast. If he were to speed it up further using energy points, it might instead cause a situation of pulling up seedlings to help them grow, planting hidden dangers for his future Cultivation.

The so-called hidden danger is more related to psychology. Because if one elevates their Cultivation Realm through the Heavenly Dao Space, it is certainly perfect in terms of power. However, if power grows too quickly and psychological Cultivation cannot keep up, one will be unable to perfectly master this power, and that is where the hidden danger lies!

It is like a child who is given power far exceeding that of an adult in a short time. If their intellect cannot grow synchronously to control this power, they might instead cause huge destruction to the people and things around them, and might even shoot themselves in the foot. Therefore, such rapid growth is, to a certain extent, more harmful than beneficial.

Long Yuan naturally understood this principle, so he was not in a hurry to use the space's energy points to elevate his Cultivation Realm. Instead, he cultivated and improved steadily every day. With the time acceleration function in the space, his Cultivation time was already far greater than others', so his progress remained incredibly fast.

After the Heavenly Eye's capabilities reached the Shuntian Prefecture region, those figures previously set on the blacklist were activated. Countless streams of information flashed before his eyes continuously, being rapidly interpreted and absorbed by him...

Due to the massive amount of information, even though Long Yuan's Soul Power was now incredibly powerful, comparable to the Peak of the Soul Transformation in the Cultivation World, it still required some time to interpret. However, it would not cause much loss to his Mental Energy, because such a volume of information was completely manageable for him as a high-level Soul Master.

"Eh?! This is Prince An?! Isn't he in seclusion? Why is he flying on a sword in the sky?!" Long Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed. The image immediately focused on Prince An's movements, and a screen of light flashed by...

[Name: Zhu Jian, Prince An of the Great Ming, wielder of the Xuanhuang Sword (Heaven Rank sword technique)]
