Chapter 2077
We will attack the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in a few days.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng fell silent.
Now she is completely tied to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Whether she can take that position depends on whether the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is willing to let her.
Since Lu Chen wasn't in a hurry, she could only continue to wait. She wanted to see what the Prince of Zhennan's mansion was planning to do.
At this moment, Lu Chen placed his hand on her belt and gently pulled it.
As the belt hit the ground, Lu Chen turned her around and immediately took her lips.
Realizing that Lu Chen wanted to get things done, Ji Yunmeng took the initiative to wrap her jade-like hand around Lu Chen's waist and then helped him undress.
Now that she knows that there is a Heaven Realm expert in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she should become even more closely bound to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
To become deeply bound to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she would have to have a child with Lu Chen.
Bai Qingqing's child has been born, but it's a girl.
It seems that no other woman in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is pregnant with Lu Chen's child yet. She must give birth to a son for Lu Chen before those other women become pregnant with his child, so as to secure her position as the principal wife.
In a short while, their clothes disappeared, and they ended up kissing and getting into bed.
……
At noon, the city gates of Guangling City were wide open, and people were coming and going in an endless stream.
A man dressed in coarse cloth entered the city along with ordinary people.
The streets of the city were bustling with people and vehicles.
Various stalls lined the streets, and the sounds of bargaining filled the air.
Wu Hong lowered his head and walked to a stall, pretending to buy something, but his gaze was fixed on the end of the street, as if he was investigating something.
Just then, he spotted a pair of disciples from the Tianxuan Palace strolling leisurely down the street.
Seeing this, Wu Hong was slightly taken aback. He was about to go up and recognize the disciples, but he quickly remembered the task the elder had given him.
His purpose in coming here was only to investigate the situation in Guangling City, and he could not easily reveal his identity.
Although he knew those disciples from Tianxuan Palace, no one could say for sure if they had already betrayed Tianxuan Palace. This could very well be bait thrown out by Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Wu Hong planned to take another look and then go find those disciples of Tianxuan Palace in a few days.
Night fell, and the red moonlight spilled onto the earth.
The courtyard where Ji Yan was located.
Ji Yan was already in bed, but the thought of the Yellow Springs Cult leader arriving tomorrow made it hard for him to fall asleep.
Just then, a guard's voice came from the doorway: "Your Highness, that lord has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan was slightly taken aback. After realizing what he had said, he immediately sat up from the bed, then simply put on an outer garment and left the room.
At this moment, a man wearing a black cloak and a fanged demon mask stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, looking at the red moon in the sky.
Beside him were several black-robed figures exuding an aura of the Earth Realm.
At this moment, the black-robed man wearing a fang mask turned to look at Ji Yan and said, "I am the Lord of the Yellow Springs Sect. I heard that Your Highness has been somewhat anxious lately, so I have come to share your worries."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan said, "I wouldn't call it anxiety; I trust your Yellow Springs Cult completely."
At this point, Ji Yan asked, "Now that you've come in person, when do you plan to make your move?"
The leader of the Yellow Springs Sect said, "We will attack the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in a few days."
Upon hearing the Yellow Springs Cult Leader's reply, Ji Yan thought to himself: Surely they won't keep dragging this out any longer.
At this moment, Ji Yan glanced at the other Earth Realm experts of the Yellow Springs Sect and then asked, "May I ask the Yellow Springs Sect Master, how many Earth Realm experts does your Yellow Springs Sect have?" Upon hearing this, the Yellow Springs Sect Master replied calmly, "Ten."
Ji Yan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that a reclusive sect like the Yellow Springs Sect would have so many Earth Realm experts.
If they are so capable, why would they choose to live in seclusion?
The reason why most forces choose to go into seclusion is because they have enemies they cannot defeat, so they choose to hide temporarily.
A force like the Yellow Springs Sect, which has 10 Earth Realm experts, is one that no one dares to offend, not even the Great Zhou royal family.
Just as Ji Yan was about to ask about the Yellow Springs Cult, the Yellow Springs Cult Leader said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. You should get some rest tonight. We will send someone to inform you once we are ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Springs Cult Leader led the several Earth Realm experts out of the courtyard and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Ji Yan's face darkened. He felt no respect from the Yellow Springs Cult Leader.
Although the Yellow Springs Cult is very strong, possessing ten Earth Realm experts, they are ultimately just a civilian force. The fact that the Yellow Springs Cult Leader dared to speak to him like that, even using the word "notification," is astonishing.
Moreover, they come and go as they please, completely disregarding him, a prince.
Ji Yan had a premonition that even if he became emperor with the support of the Yellow Springs Sect, he would probably not be able to make decisions on important matters of the court, and he might be completely sidelined by the Yellow Springs Sect.
Thinking of this possibility, Ji Yan clenched his fists slightly.
Even knowing all this, Ji Yan will continue to cooperate with the Yellow Springs Cult, since he can only rely on the Yellow Springs Cult if he wants to ascend to that position.
……
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Wu Hong found an inn near the Prince of Zhennan's mansion and stayed there. He then spent his days frequenting various brothels to gather information about the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.
During this time, he not only met the disciples of Tianxuan Palace, but also their Holy Maiden on the street, but he did not go out to acknowledge her.
However, Wu Hong had already lowered his guard. In his opinion, the fact that their Holy Maiden was walking around on the street meant that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had not imprisoned their Holy Maiden. Their elders might have misunderstood the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and perhaps things were not as bad as they imagined.
After careful consideration, Wu Hong decided to consult with the disciples of Tianxuan Palace to find out more about the situation.
Although it's somewhat risky, we can't keep dragging this on like this.
At noon, the restaurant was bustling with people.
At this moment, several disciples of Tianxuan Palace arrived at a private room on the second floor of the restaurant. As soon as they entered the room, a waiter came in and said to the disciples, "Esteemed guests, a guest says he is an acquaintance of yours and would like to chat with you for a few minutes. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Tianxuan Palace were somewhat confused.
Their acquaintances should be disciples of Tianxuan Palace. If disciples of Tianxuan Palace want to find them, they can just go directly to them. Why bother having someone else relay a message?
One of the Tianxuan Palace disciples said, "Alright, please invite that friend in."
After hearing what the Tianxuan Palace disciple said, the waiter turned and left.
Soon, a man wearing a straw hat entered the private room.
Upon seeing the man, everyone was puzzled. Who was he? And why were they covering their faces so thoroughly?
Just then, Wu Hong removed his straw hat.
Upon seeing Wu Hong's face, the disciples of Tianxuan Palace immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Wu."
Wu Hong waved his hand: "Please sit down."
A female disciple asked curiously, "Senior Brother Wu Hong, what brings you to Guangling City?" (End of Chapter)
