Chapter 2087
The Zhennan Prince's Mansion Has a Heavenly Realm
Upon hearing Chu Qingli's words, Mu Yunxi immediately said, "Master, this has nothing to do with you. It was my own choice."
Mu Yunxi wasn't stupid. She had seen through Lu Chen's little scheme long ago, knowing that she would eventually become his woman.
After all, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a Heavenly Realm, while the Tianxuan Palace does not.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, a weakling who is targeted is destined to be completely devoured.
It's already quite good that Lu Chen didn't force himself on her.
At this moment, Chu Qingli said, "Actually, if you are unwilling, I can use the name of Tianxuan Holy Land to pressure him."
"Although the Heavenly Realm experts of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land are not yet able to enter the Borderlands, the restriction will eventually disappear."
Mu Yunxi said, "Master, even if the restrictions on the borderlands may disappear in the future, our Tianxuan Palace must be able to hold out until then."
"If we anger Lu Chen now, he might directly call on a Celestial Realm expert to destroy the Tianxuan Palace."
Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Chu Qingli fell silent for a moment.
Ultimately, her strength was too weak to protect Mu Yunxi.
After a long pause, Chu Qingli sighed and said to Mu Yunxi, "Yunxi, don't worry, once the restrictions on the borderlands are lifted, I will definitely make the Holy Land seek justice for you."
Chu Qingli thought to herself that she couldn't let Lu Chen go no matter what.
Although Mu Yunxi was just a native of the borderlands and had never been to the Central Plains, she was his disciple. Lu Chen dared to bully his disciple, and he absolutely could not let it go.
At this moment, Mu Yunxi changed the subject and asked, "Master, how long until that ancient ruin reappears?"
Chu Qingli thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know the exact time when it will appear, but I have a feeling that the ruins will appear soon."
Mu Yunxi said, "I will keep an eye on things at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to prevent other forces from seeking cooperation with it."
The threats facing Tianxuan Palace now are not only from Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but also from other foreign forces.
Most importantly, those external forces have not yet shown themselves. They are hiding in the shadows, and if they make any moves, it will be impossible to defend against them.
But after Mu Yunxi married Lu Chen, he would keep an eye on everything the Zhennan Prince's Mansion did.
If other forces try to collude with the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion to cause trouble, they can immediately devise a countermeasure.
Hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Chu Qingli felt a pang of guilt.
If he had known that Mu Yunxi would be targeted by Lu Chen, he shouldn't have let Mu Yunxi come to Guangling City.
But it's too late to say anything now. I just hope that Lu Chen doesn't have any weird hobbies and won't hurt Mu Yunxi.
……
The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Imperial Palace.
In the courtyard, Pei Shuhua stood by the pond, watching the fish swimming around.
At this moment, a woman dressed in green appeared behind her. Sensing the woman's presence, Pei Shuhua asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Min was sent by the Qionghua Holy Land to assist her in exploring ancient ruins, but under normal circumstances, Chen Min would not stay in the palace.
Chen Min's main task was to investigate other foreign forces and see how many of them had entered the borderlands so that they could take precautions in advance.
As soon as Pei Shuhua finished speaking, Chen Min said, "The Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace has gone to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua asked, "What does her going to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion have to do with the Qionghua Sacred Land?" Chen Min replied, "Aren't you curious? What was she doing at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
Pei Shuhua said, "What else can we do? We can only give the Zhennan Prince's Mansion a warning and make it behave itself so that it doesn't have any improper ideas."
Although Pei Shuhua didn't know much about the Tianxuan Holy Land, she did know that such a force existed.
When she heard the name of the Tianxuan Palace, she guessed that it was likely related to the Tianxuan Holy Land in the Central Region.
Therefore, in Pei Shuhua's view, Tianxuan Palace and she had the same goal.
Since they share the same goal, Tianxuan Palace will not stand idly by and watch the Great Zhou Dynasty be overthrown before the ruins are revealed.
Now that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has suddenly become so powerful, coupled with the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty's fortune, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion seems to be showing signs of wanting to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After realizing that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might overthrow the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tianxuan Palace would naturally take action to prevent such a thing from happening, otherwise they would not be able to enter the ruins.
Seeing that Pei Shuhua seemed unconcerned about the matter, Chen Min reminded her, "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is probably even more powerful than the Tianxuan Palace now. Do you think the Tianxuan Palace has the right to put pressure on the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
"Tianxuan Palace's visit to Zhennan Prince's Mansion this time is more likely to form an alliance with Zhennan Prince's Mansion. They may have already told Zhennan Prince's Mansion about the ancient ruins."
Upon hearing Chen Min's words, Pei Shuhua fell into deep thought.
The combined number of Earth Realm experts from Zhennan Prince's Mansion and Zhengui Division is indeed greater than that of most other forces in this world.
However, having a large number of Earth Realm experts does not necessarily mean that their strength is greater than that of other forces.
Moreover, Tianxuan Palace is an external force, so it must have some trump cards up its sleeve.
To Tianxuan Palace, Zhennan Prince's Mansion was merely a local force. How could Tianxuan Palace ally with a local force? They even told them about ancient ruins.
Thinking of this, Pei Shuhua said, "Would an external force ally itself with a native force like the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
Seeing that Pei Shuhua seemed to look down on the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Chen Min continued, "I received some shocking news a couple of days ago. Although it hasn't been verified yet, judging from the fact that the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace took the initiative to go to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, this news is very likely true."
Pei Shuhua asked curiously, "What news?"
Chen Min said, "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a Heavenly Realm."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua was stunned, a look of disbelief appearing on the face of the dignified and noble beauty.
After regaining her senses, Pei Shuhua frowned and said, "The Heavenly Realm?"
"How could a Celestial Realm expert possibly emerge from such a remote place?"
Chen Min continued, "This news comes from a disciple of Tianxuan Palace, but I can't be sure if it's true."
No secret can stay hidden forever. Feng Lin led a group of disciples from Tianxuan Palace to Yunya City to use the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror to rewind time and recall events that had occurred in Yunya City. Many disciples from Tianxuan Palace saw the images in the Shadow Flowing Light Mirror.
Although Tianxuan Palace has strictly forbidden its disciples from spreading information about what happened in Yunya City, there are always people who accidentally leak the news.
Moreover, Chen Min had been keeping a close eye on Tianxuan Palace, and she knew everything about its every move. She only needed to use a few tricks to find out about Yunya City from the disciples.
However, her first reaction upon receiving this news was suspicion, that it was a false message released by Tianxuan Palace.
But then she thought about it and realized that Tianxuan Palace had no reason to fabricate such an absurd lie.
Furthermore, the fact that the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace personally visited the Zhennan Prince's Mansion speaks volumes. For an envoy from a foreign power to be willing to condescend to visit a native force proves that, in the Palace Master's eyes, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is worthy of her high regard.
