40: When fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back!

A short while later, just as the people in the imperial capital were still whispering and discussing incessantly.

A young figure exuding the supreme aura of a superior, with an exceptionally handsome yet overwhelmingly domineering face.

Riding a majestic and imposing Blazing Flame Mad Lion, slowly entered the gates of the imperial capital.

This person was none other than Chu Lingyun, the illustrious Ninth Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, the peerless Prodigy who shone brightly in the imperial capital ten years ago!

Chu Lingyun rode the majestic Blazing Flame Mad Lion, walking unhurriedly and slowly down the street.

In his hand, he tightly gripped a long spear, its shaft shimmering with a cold, bone-piercing light so sharp it was unbearable to look at directly.

His face showed no trace of emotional fluctuation, making it difficult to discern his inner thoughts.

One could only sense that the Qi surrounding him was incredibly profound, as if he had merged with the natural world, seamless and innate!

As he walked step by step down the street, the people in the imperial capital bowed respectfully to him.

At the same time, the several soldiers following behind him also exuded an immensely powerful aura.

Merely the faint strands of killing intent inadvertently emanating from their bodies.

Caused the people on both sides of the street to feel their blood and Qi churning, their breathing involuntarily quickening.

Fortunately, the hundreds of thousands of troops were currently stationed orderly outside the imperial capital by Chu Lingyun.

Otherwise, if the people personally witnessed those hundreds of thousands of soldiers, each seemingly battle-hardened and brimming with Evil Qi.

They would undoubtedly be deeply shaken to their very Souls, stunned and speechless!!

A moment later, Chu Lingyun's figure appeared right before Xuan Tianchen's eyes.

Almost simultaneously, the System's voice resounded in Xuan Tianchen's mind.

[Ding-dong, Child of Destiny in person]

[Name: Chu Lingyun (Transmigrator, possesses a summoning system)]

[Realm: First Level of True Immortal Realm]

[Identity: Ninth Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, future Human Emperor of the Spiritual Martial Continent]

[Cultivation Techniques: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones (Imperial Rank), Arrogant Dragon Art (Imperial Rank)]

[Magical Artifacts: cold dragon spear (supreme dao artifact), human emperor banner (quasi-emperor weapon)]

[Luck Value: 250,000 points]

[Summoned Characters: Bai Qi (Sixth Level of Immortal Emperor Realm), Wang Jian (Sixth Level of Immortal Emperor Realm), Xiang Yu (Fifth Level of Immortal Emperor Realm), Lü Bu (Ninth Level of Immortal King Realm), Guan Yunchang (Eighth Level of Immortal King Realm), Lin Chong (Seventh Level of Immortal King Realm), Wu Song (Fifth Level of Immortal King Realm), Eighteen Yan Cloud Riders (Ninth Level of Undergoing Tribulation Realm), Ten Thousand White Horse Righteous Followers (Ninth Level of Mahayana Realm), Two Hundred Thousand Troops (Ninth Level of Nascent Soul Transformation Stage)]

(Fellow Daoists, the Realm strengths are arbitrarily arranged, don't dwell on it.)

"He's actually a Transmigrator. I never expected to encounter a fellow villager in this world!"

Xuan Tianchen's blood-red eyes were now fixed intently on Chu Lingyun's figure.

At the same time, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible arc.

He truly hadn't anticipated that the Child of Destiny he came to hunt this time would be a Transmigrator!

And one who even possesses a System, having summoned a whole bunch of characters from Huaxia!

No wonder his Realm is only at the First Level of True Immortal Realm, yet his Luck value is much higher than Ye Fan, the Reincarnator from the Heavens!

More importantly, Chu Lingyun actually possesses the human emperor banner, which has reached the quasi-emperor weapon grade.

It seems Xuan Tianchen's own ten thousand souls banner has hope of advancing to quasi-emperor weapon status with the help of this item!

Thinking this, Xuan Tianchen couldn't help but ponder inwardly: "Fellow villager, fellow villager, sorry, but if you don't go to Hell, who will!"

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, it's not just tears welling up in their eyes—they can also stab each other in the back!

Xuan Tianchen believed that the "warmth" he would soon deliver to this fellow villager would surely make him depart very "peacefully."

It was at this moment that Chu Lingyun, who had been under Xuan Tianchen's intense gaze, suddenly sensed an inexplicable, intense unease without any warning.

Just moments ago, it felt as if an extremely cold, bone-penetrating chill.

Pierced straight through his Soul, making him shudder deeply.

And what could bring such a spine-chilling feeling was none other than the most intense killing intent!

Thinking this, Chu Lingyun's deep eyes instantly darkened, and he couldn't help but warily glance around.

But after carefully sensing his surroundings, Chu Lingyun found nothing unusual at all.

Everything around seemed as calm and normal as ever, with no abnormalities.

Lü Bu, standing nearby, noticed Chu Lingyun's somewhat distracted and solemn expression.

He couldn't help but respectfully ask: "Your Highness, what exactly has happened?"

Hearing this, Chu Lingyun slowly and calmly said: "Nothing, let's go!"

However, even though Chu Lingyun said this.

The gravity in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

After all, that intense killing intent earlier was clearly directed at him, yet he couldn't sense the other party's presence at all.

This could only mean that the other party's cultivation Realm was far above his own.

"Could it be a powerful expert invited by the Crown Prince to deal with me?" Chu Lingyun couldn't help but think to himself.

Looking across the entire Great Chu Dynasty now, the only one with a grudge against him was the Crown Prince from the Eastern Palace.

But this was also unlikely, because even the powerful experts he summoned from his System beside him couldn't sense the other party's aura.

That meant the other party's cultivation strength must at least be on par with Bai Qi, an Immortal Emperor Realm expert.

For such a powerful existence, already standing at the Peak of the Spiritual Martial Continent, looking down on everything!

It was absolutely not something a Crown Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty could easily invite.

Besides, apart from himself possessing a System capable of summoning such experts.

Looking across the entire Great Chu Dynasty, only the Emperor residing in the Great Chu Imperial Palace had reached the Ninth Level of Immortal Emperor Realm.

But that person was, after all, his father, unlikely to harbor such deep killing intent toward him.

If there really were such a powerful expert wanting to kill him, it definitely wouldn't be someone from within the Great Chu Dynasty.

What Chu Lingyun could do now was to be cautious and careful in the days to come.

With Bai Qi, Lü Bu, and others protecting him closely, even if an Immortal Emperor Realm expert wanted to kill him, it would be no easy task!

After Chu Lingyun and his group gradually walked away, the people on the street finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Ninth Prince and the people beside him, their auras are truly terrifying!"

"Yes, I was almost scared into wetting my pants!"

"With the foundation the Ninth Prince now possesses, I think the one in the Eastern Palace would have to think twice before making a move against him!"

"Shh, saying that, aren't you afraid of getting beheaded?"

"What did I just say? I didn't hear anything!"

"Uh, Old Wang, you...!"

...

As the crowd expressed various opinions and discussed Chu Lingyun's return to the imperial capital.

Xuan Tianchen's deep, abyss-like eyes couldn't help but gleam with a meaningful cold light.

"The Eastern Palace? I'll start with you!"

Immediately, Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan's figures vanished from the tavern as if they had never been there.

Even the people in the tavern had no memory of the two having sat there, disappearing without a trace.

Completely unaware that anyone had just been there!
