Nine Nether Corpse Scripture, Imperial Father!

Chu Mo said helplessly.

"If only my Imperial Clan had two Secret Realm, but such a good thing would never come."

As for the aura of the bloodline, that's because of the [Corpse Toad Technique] and the Yin Corpse Blood."

"[Corpse Toad Technique]? Yin Corpse Blood?"

"But Ancestor, without new Secret Realm, relying solely on the Imperial Clan family, the Corpse Immortal Sect shouldn't be able to be listed as a top-tier power! They could hide for a while, but how could they not have revealed their true strength after so long?"

Hearing these two extremely unfamiliar names, Chu Xuanao was somewhat confused. He had never heard of them before. The name "[Corpse Toad Technique]" immediately suggested that it was a secret technique that concealed one's bloodline aura, probably a secret skill similar to the art of concealing one's breath.

As for the Yin Corpse Blood, judging from the ethics of the Corpse Immortal Sect, it should be refined from human blood, with the purpose of concealing the aura of the Imperial Clan bloodline.

But if the Corpse Immortal Sect didn't have its Secret Realm, it couldn't have developed to this extent!

Such a large sect should have the Imperial Clan holding key positions, with strong individuals providing support and recruiting members.

As a power grows and expands, it is inevitable to cultivate manpower. If the Imperial Clan does not have new Secret Realm, where did the Corpse Immortal Sect Celestial Phenomenon Realm come from?

It's impossible for everyone to be from the Imperial Clan. Putting aside whether a royal Imperial Clan has that many members, if you suppress your subordinates and prevent them from making progress, it might work in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, it's impossible for no one to notice, and then there will definitely be trouble.

Why do people follow you?

Everyone wants to improve their cultivation, but if those who follow you, no matter how talented or exceptionally gifted they are, none of them will rise to the top, not even reaching the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, then your subordinates would have already overturned the table.

The various factions across the land will also sense that something is amiss. It can't be that the Imperial Clan is taking everyone back to the Dagan Capital to break through in the Imperial Clan's Secret Realm, can it?

Impossible. The Imperial Clan wouldn't dare gamble like that, much less play such a game.

This will give you away. You could tell people you're in Dagan Capital, in the location of the Chu family's Secret Realm, and that you've discovered another Secret Realm, which is the headquarters of the Corpse Immortal Sect, and that the Dagan Imperial Clan hasn't even noticed yet.

Who would believe that?

Nobody's a fool.

Chu Mo shook his head, but his tone was firm.

"As for the Secret Realm, I don't know why either. Although the two places are different, I can confirm that it is my Imperial Clan's [Dragon Valley]."

"And regarding the [Corpse Toad Technique] and the Yin Corpse Blood, does Your Highness know of the [Nine Nether Corpse Scripture]?"

Chu Xuanao smiled and replied.

"I am naturally familiar with the Corpse Immortal Sect's supreme cultivation technique; this scripture must have originated from my Imperial Clan!"

The entire Corpse Immortal Sect is composed of members of the Imperial Clan, so their cultivation techniques need no further explanation.

But Chu Mo retorted.

"Your Highness, the [Nine Nether Corpse Scripture] was not created by our Imperial Clan. It was merely something our Imperial Clan obtained by chance, and it was precisely that [Nine Nether Corpse Scripture] that led our Imperial Clan to make the decision to establish the Corpse Immortal Sect."

"That cultivation technique is in no way inferior to my Imperial Clan's [Myriad Manifestations of Mountains and Rivers Scripture], and it is also a top-tier cultivation technique in the world. Moreover, its approach is completely different from my Imperial Clan's cultivation techniques. The [Corpse Toad Technique] and the Yin Corpse Blood are both derived from the [Nine Nether Corpse Scripture]."

"That's why, with readily available cultivation methods to serve as the foundation for establishing a sect, the Imperial Clan secretly established the Corpse Immortal Sect."

"Everyone in my Imperial Clan who enters the Corpse Immortal Sect will learn the [Nine Nether Corpse Scripture], and I am no exception. However, I only learned the methods of refining corpses, controlling corpses, and Corpse Qi. Fundamentally, I still practice the Imperial Clan's techniques."

"It's just a pity that all my corpse Corpse Puppet were destroyed in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains."

Speaking of Corpse Puppet, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. After decades of roaming the Martial World, all his precious little ones were gone.

Chu Xuanao also thought of the Secret Realm mentioned by the ancestor.

"Ancestor, when we talked about the Secret Realm before, you said that although the two places were different, you were certain that it was the [Dragon Valley] where I had made my Dagan. Why is that?"

By the time Chu Xuanao finished his conversation and came out of Chu Mo's room, it was already late at night.

"Your Highness."

Li Xunhuan, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly stepped forward. He could sense that His Your Highness's mood was a little off.

Indeed, tonight Chu Xuanao obtained a great deal of information from the old ancestor Chu Mo, whom he had rescued, in addition to the information Yuan Tiangang had given him.

Putting all these things together and considering them carefully, the amount of information was overwhelming. At this moment, Chu Xuanao appeared somewhat depressed and dazed, and it could be said that he was putting on a brave face in front of Chu Mo.

"Well!"

Chu Xuanao, who had just emerged, sighed deeply. After a moment's pause, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he spoke solemnly to Li Xunhuan.

"Xunhuan, stay here and take care of Ancestor Chu Mo."

Li Xunhuan nodded heavily.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I understand."

Judging Your Highness the tone of His Highness's voice and the look in his eyes, Li Xunhuan knew that his Your Highness had learned something unexpected from Chu Mo, and he understood His Your Highness's meaning.

Keep an eye on Chu Mo; don't let him escape.

After giving his instructions, Chu Xuanao returned to his courtyard. Qiuyue Shuangxue noticed that her Your Highness's expression was not right and was about to step forward when she saw him wave his hand with a hint of annoyance on Your Highness face.

The two tactfully withdrew, also calling away the servants in the courtyard before leaving. Thus, only Chu Xuanao remained sitting in the courtyard.

In the darkness, with the flickering candlelight in the courtyard, Chu Xuanao sat there alone, the firelight and the night making him seem as if he were standing on the dividing line between light and darkness.

Wearing a royal robe, he should have exuded an aura of dominance, but at this moment he appeared lonely and somewhat isolated.

Right now, Chu Xuanao didn't know how to describe his current feelings; his expression was complex, a mix of emotions swirling within him.

Should he react with anger upon learning this? Or with a sense of sudden enlightenment?

It seems that all these things have been revealed. Whether it's the Corpse Immortal Sect's actions, the Blood Lotus Sect's turmoil, the situation in You Province, or Yuan Tiangang's deductions, the dragon-slaying scheme behind these events, or the mastermind behind them, it can be said that everyone except Di Xing is already aware of them.

But right now, he just couldn't feel happy; in fact, he felt quite confused.

After Ancestor Chu Mo revealed these things— the Imperial Clan, the Corpse Immortal Sect — Chu Xuanao understood the underlying reasons. He realized that one event could trigger a chain reaction, and once he understood one link in the chain, everything made sense.

Although we don't yet know what the Imperial Clan's purpose is in doing this, at least the matter and these people are now out in the open, which will make things easier from now on.

Suddenly, Chu Xuanao seemed to have thought of something, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, and he muttered to himself.

"So you all know that only I, the person involved, am unaware. No, even my fourth brother probably doesn't know."

What are those things anyway? Just gifts?

As he thought about it, Chu Xuanao recalled the days before he left the capital, during which he received a constant stream of gifts from all sides, from his Crown Prince brother, the Crown Prince Chu Xuanhao, his second brother, Chu Xuantian, and his third brother, Chu Xuanwu, to his aunt and second sister, as well as the inexplicable rewards from his Imperial Father.

He's basically got everyone, and these people all gave him gifts for no reason. What's the meaning of this?

Looking back now, according to the Imperial Clan's plan, he should have died in the Battle of Youzhou, or been captured by the Great Feng?

So this is considered a farewell gift for him?

Did you give a gift in advance?

Looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, he thought of his Imperial Father, the emperor. This old man had actually treated him quite well since birth, and even had been rather doting on him before.

Of course, his father must have played a part in all of this. His decree of Enfeoffed as King, and everything else, cannot be separated from this Emperor Gan Chu Tianxiong.

Even if there were Imperial Clan plotting behind the scenes, it's impossible to simply ignore his Imperial Father, in these matters.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuanao couldn't help but murmur softly.

"Imperial Father!"
