The Origin of the Blood God Sect, What Happened Back Then!

After Chu Yun and Luo Feng entered the mansion, they were led by a servant on a general tour of the estate.

It had everything, including a back garden, rockeries, and pavilions.

Afterward, Chu Yun and Luo Feng went to the main hall. As soon as they sat down, a stout, middle-aged man with four young maids entered.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Commander Luo!"

"I am the head steward of the Prince's residence. Your Highness may call me Atai."

This portly man was the head steward of the estate that Shi Minyue had personally selected for Chu Yun.

Luo Feng had told him this on the way.

Atai, despite his ordinary appearance, was actually a genuine expert in the Shattering Realm.

He was someone Shi Minyue had brought over from the Shi Family.

Therefore, Chu Yun trusted him completely.

"Steward Tai, I'll be counting on you to manage everything in the estate from now on," Chu Yun said calmly, nodding.

Atai replied respectfully, "Your Highness is too kind. This is my duty."

"Oh, right, Your Highness. These four maids were carefully chosen by me for you. They will be responsible for your daily needs."

"Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, come serve His Highness," he said, gesturing to the four maids.

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, Little Autumn will make tea for you."

"Your Highness, Little Summer will massage your shoulders."

"Your Highness, Little Spring will also massage your shoulders."

The four girls were all reasonably good-looking. They rushed to Chu Yun's side and began to serve him with their respective skills.

Chu Yun was still a little unaccustomed to this.

He recalled that in his previous life, although he had been a battle-hardened Emperor Yu, he had still attended one-on-one tutoring sessions obediently and properly.

Having four of them at once made him feel quite unaccustomed.

"Stop, stop, stop."

"Little Autumn, Little Summer, you four can go down for now."

"I have some matters to discuss."

Chu Yun had important matters to attend to and couldn't indulge in pleasure and entertainment. Thus, he had to ask them to leave for the time being.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"If Your Highness needs anything, please don't hesitate to command us."

After the four spoke, they retreated.

"Steward Tai, please sit," Chu Yun said with a straight face.

"Your Highness, this... this isn't appropriate?"

"There's a distinction between master and servant. Atai would never dare to be disrespectful," Atai said somewhat awkwardly.

"What distinction? You are a trusted subordinate of my mother, Consort Shi, so you are one of us. Sit when I tell you to, and don't be so formal," Chu Yun said bluntly.

"This... alright."

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Atai slowly walked to the side and sat down.

"I've just returned to the Imperial City, and I'm completely clueless about everything here."

"Therefore, I need the two of you to help me understand a few things so I can familiarize myself with the relationships within the Imperial City," Chu Yun stated his request directly.

Luo Feng said, "Your Highness, please ask whatever you wish to know."

"Your Highness, please speak. Commander Luo and I will tell you everything we know," Atai added.

Chu Yun's expression was calm as he asked, "Commander Luo, regarding that Blood Profound Venerable we encountered earlier, what is the background of the Blood God Sect behind him?"

Luo Feng explained, "Your Highness, the Blood God Sect is also a sect within the Great Xia Dynasty."

"However, they are not subject to the Dynasty's control. They are located in the Southern Prefecture, one of the thirteen prefectures. Their status in the Southern Prefecture is equivalent to that of the Wangxian Dao Sect in Qingzhou."

"They are the undisputed sole overlord."

"Furthermore, the Blood God Sect's strength surpasses that of the Wangxian Dao Sect. Most importantly, the Blood God Sect has ancient powerhouses in the Heavenly Aspect Realm. Their foundation is so deep that even the Imperial Dynasty is unwilling to fall out with them."

Chu Yun had learned that the realm above the Venerable Realm was the Heavenly Aspect Realm.

Experts at the Heavenly Aspect Realm level were also known as Heavenly Venerables!

They were terrifying beings who surpassed those in the Venerable Realm!

Across the entire Great Xia Dynasty, excluding the royal family, there are no more than ten experts at the Heavenly Venerable Realm!

And this Blood God Sect accounts for one of them, which shows how powerful this sect is. No wonder they don't even put the Wangxian Dao Sect in their eyes.

"So that's how it is."

"How does the Blood God Sect compare to my mother's maternal family?" Chu Yun asked again.

At this moment, Atai proudly spoke, "Your Highness, you don't know."

"Your Highness's maternal grandfather, the old patriarch of the Shi Family, is also an expert in the Heavenly Aspect Realm!"

"Even the old patriarch's strength is much greater than that Heavenly Venerable of the Blood God Sect!"

"Compared to the Shi Family, the Blood God Sect will forever be the junior."

Atai's reaction was so strong that Chu Yun thought about it carefully and completely understood.

Luo Feng nodded, admitting, "Indeed, the Shi Family's foundation is still above the Blood God Sect."

After hearing this, Chu Yun stroked his chin and said, "Since my father is the Emperor of Great Xia, and the Shi Family is so powerful."

"Then why did I go missing back then?"

As soon as he said this, Atai's expression immediately became solemn and serious, and Luo Feng also looked serious and said, "Your Highness, the matter of your disappearance back then... happened suddenly and was extremely strange."

"Strange?" Chu Yun's eyes fixed on him.

"Indeed."

"Your Highness, when Consort Shi gave birth to you, it coincided with an invasion by an enemy dynasty. His Majesty personally led the expedition and was not in the imperial city."

"And three days after Consort Shi gave birth to you, you mysteriously disappeared."

"After the incident, Consort Shi was extremely anxious and used all the power around her. Even your uncle, the Asura Venerable, personally entered the palace to search."

"But the result was that no trace could be found. You vanished as if you had evaporated from the earth, disappearing without a trace."

"It wasn't until His Majesty returned and ordered us Shadow Guards to investigate at all costs."

"After many years of secret investigation, we can be almost certain that the problem did not originate from outside, but from within the imperial palace."

"On the day Your Highness disappeared, all those who entered the palace, including their trusted confidants, and even anyone who had interacted with them, were meticulously investigated, and none of them had any problems."

"Therefore, Your Highness's disappearance could only have been committed by someone who originally lived within the imperial palace!" Luo Feng told him in detail.

Chu Yun's expression was serious. Hearing this, he also understood that his parents had never given up on investigating the truth of that year.

When he edited his background, he actually had the information of the original Ninth Prince Chu Yun in his mind.

The reason he was able to edit it into the background of the Ninth Prince Chu Yun of the Great Xia Dynasty was precisely because he had already died!

In other words, the Ninth Prince at that time did not disappear but was directly killed.

And now that he had returned, if those who killed the Ninth Prince back then saw that he was not dead.

Then the possibility of them taking action again was almost certain.

Even his uncle, the Asura Venerable, could not find any clues, which further explained the seriousness of the matter.

"Alas."

"This background is good, with a father, a mother, and backing, but it is fraught with danger."

Chu Yun sighed inwardly.

Then, he looked at Atai, "Steward Tai, you have been by my mother's side for so many years. Do you know if my mother has any suspected targets for this matter?"

Atai looked at him with an extremely serious expression and only uttered two words: "The Empress."
