Dingyou Sword, Zhenyou Saber; Li Yi Arrives in You Province

Late at night, in an elegant garden in Zhenyou City, Chu Xuanao, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, activated his Yang Shen Gong, circulated his true qi, and gradually became clear-headed from his drowsy state.

Just as he was about to get up, two sweet voices came from beside him.

"Your Highness."

Looking at Qiuyue Shuangxue Xue, who were awake and about to get up to serve him, Chu Xuanao said softly.

"No need, you two can stay here!"

After saying that, Chu Xuanao got up from the bed, picked up a large white fur coat and put it on, and slowly walked out of the bedroom alone.

Chu Xuanao has been in Zhenyou City for the past few days. He hasn't returned to Hanshan Prefecture yet. He needs to see Eunuch Li and receive his Imperial Father's decree before discussing anything else. In any case, Chu Xuanao doesn't intend to hide the matter of You Province from his Imperial Father.

Taking over You Province was such a significant move that it couldn't be kept secret.

Stepping out of the sleeping quarters and into the courtyard, Li Xunhuan, Zhu Wushi, Duan Tianya, and the others were already waiting, along with Chu Mo, who was lying motionless on the ground.

Upon seeing Chu Xuanao approach, the group bowed and said...

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Looking at the disheveled old man lying unconscious on the ground, Chu Xuanao asked with a scrutinizing gaze.

"This is Chu Mo?"

Li Xunhuan nodded and began to speak.

"Yes, Your Highness, this person is Chu Mo. There's no mistake about his bloodline aura. Dong Xuanfeng is also dead. This is his sword, the spirit weapon Profound Thunder Sword, however..."

At this point, Li Xunhuan paused, handed the sword to Chu Xuanao with both hands, and then spoke again.

"Some unexpected things happened on this trip. There are still two Celestial Phenomenon Realm there, also after the Dong Clan..."

After hearing Li Xunhuan's words, Chu Xuanao's expression turned strange. The Dragon Qi —what a coincidence!

They'd barely discovered the Po Jun Star when they encountered people from the Emperor Star again— Ling Qinghua and Mo Jingtian, two of the Nine Heavens King from the Deceive Heaven Alliance. Are those two still alive?

They've even followed the Emperor Star; things are really going to get interesting now.

Looking at Zhu Wushi, Chu Xuanao's eyes became playful as he spoke.

"Zhu Wushi, this matter is entrusted to you. What kind of people are the Nine Heavenly Kings of the Deceive Heaven Alliance? How can they be allowed to vanish without a trace?"

Zhu Wushi smiled knowingly and said.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I understand. A man of great influence will naturally stir up trouble."

Li Xunhuan said another sentence.

"Your Highness, what about Chu Mo?"

Looking at the unconscious Chu Mo, Chu Xuanao wondered to himself, what secrets does this ancestor hold?

What made Dong Xuanfeng go to such lengths and take such great risks to suppress and imprison him for over a century?

He then asked.

"Under normal circumstances, when will he wake up?"

Li Xunhuan, however, said...

"I used my true energy to knock him unconscious. It should have only lasted for a few hours, but his spirit and energy have been tormented by Dong Xuanfeng for a hundred years. In addition, the blood nail and the filthy blood in his body have always been there. He should be asleep for several days this time."

"However, Your Highness, if you wish, I can wake him up at any time."

"Your Highness, would you like to remove these things from his body now?"

Chu Xuanao thought for a moment and then said.

"First, retrieve the items and find some precious medicines to nourish him. But he cannot wake up now, at least not before Li Yi, the chief eunuch attending to the Imperial Father, leaves."

"I'll be entrusting this person to you for the time being."

A glint of light flashed in Li Xunhuan's eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I understand."

The next two days were uneventful. On the morning of the third day, Chu Xuanao woke up and immediately called on the system. The first day of the third month was the day for the lottery.

'System, draw a prize.'

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully won a set of legendary Famous Weapon."

[Combined Famous Weapon: Dingyou Sword, Famous Weapon; Zhenyou Saber, Famous Weapon]

Chu Xuanao's lips twitched slightly; this introduction was really too simple!

Chu Xuanao's eyes lit up as he took out the set of swords and sabers from his system space; they actually looked quite good.

The swords and blades are predominantly black, even the blades are black, seemingly devoid of any luster, adorned with several gold stripes running from top to bottom, exuding nobility and elegance. The characters "Zhen You" and "Ding You" are inscribed on the blades and swords, the characters are vigorous and powerful, the overall appearance is arrogant and domineering.

Each of these swords and sabers has its own unique sheath: the Dingyou Sword, the Zhenyou Saber, and the Universe. Not bad, you're quite sensible.

He is very pleased with me. From this day forward, this sword and this saber will be his exclusive weapons.

Actually, he also possesses the Spiritual Weapon Xinglong Staff, which is also his exclusive weapon. However, while it is of high quality, it lacks a certain prestige and is not as visually appealing as swords or other similar items.

Besides, his leg is fine; he can't be using a cane all the time!

Therefore, he rarely used it, nor did he need to use it. In You Province, his words carried more weight than that Xinglong Staff.

However, today they did provide him with his sword and dagger, which are now in full service. Not bad.

"Your Highness, the chief eunuch of the palace, Li Yi Eunuch Li, has arrived."

Just then, Xiao Dezi's voice rang out from outside the hall. Chu Xuanao snapped out of his reverie and spoke in a deep voice to the outside.

"Qiuyue, change your clothes and fetch the royal robe."

"Shuangxue, go and fetch the Xinglong Staff."

They've finally arrived. He wanted to see what kind of decree his Imperial Father, had sent so hastily to You Province to deliver.

While Chu Xuanao was still preparing, Lu Bu, Zhu Wushi, Bai Yi, Bai Wangye, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, and others were all in the main hall. Of course, the most important person was the eunuch standing in the center of the hall, dressed in a bright red official robe with a clean-shaven face.

In Dagan imperial court, eunuchs wore coarse cloth, which was the lowest rank of eunuch. Above them were four ranks: blue robes, white robes with patterns, blue robes, and purple robes. Only Li Yi, the Grand Eunuch who served the Emperor Gan, was allowed to wear the bright red official robes.

At this moment, Li Yi stood in the middle of the hall with a smile on his face, seemingly waiting quietly, but his heart was already in turmoil.

As the only remaining close attendant to His Majesty, Li Yi has never wasted decades of his life. He is not only the chief eunuch in the palace, but he also controls some of His Majesty's secret forces and is responsible for intelligence from all sides.

He knew far more than most people. From the cavalry he saw upon entering the city to the heavily armored guards in the elegant garden where the Prince of Qin was, he had never seen any of these types of troops before. They were neither the Zhenyou Cavalry nor the border troops of You Province.

Those men exuded a fierce military aura. Just by looking at their army's imposing presence, you could tell they were battle-hardened veterans, not just some random bunch of people you could gather. But the saying "battle-hardened veterans are forged in war" is no exaggeration.

He knew the military branches of most countries in the world through information gathering, but none of them matched up.

Where did the Prince of Qin get these men?

Which force is behind this?

Looking at the group of people from the Prince of Qin's Manor around him, Li Yi couldn't help but marvel. This Prince of Qin was truly a hidden dragon!

In a short period of time, he gathered talented people under his command with extraordinary skills. In particular, Lu Bu's murderous aura was so fierce and ruthless that it was impossible not to notice him.

Looking into his eyes, Li Yi saw confidence, arrogance, and disdain for everything. This was not a denigration, but an admiration. Although they had never fought, Li Yi had already roughly figured out the man's strength from his aura. Of course, this was all based on his own assumptions; the man might actually be stronger than him.

The murderous aura faintly visible in his eyes was like that of a war god emerging from a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses; even before he made a move, he already felt some pressure.

A few light footsteps interrupted Li Yi's thoughts. Hearing the commotion in the back hall, several figures emerged from behind. Upon seeing the person in the lead, Li Yi hurriedly bowed and greeted them.

"Li Yi greets Your Highness, the Prince of Prince of Qin."
