Targeting the Third Prince, Meeting in the Cangfeng Mountain Range!

"Yes... Your Highness, I understand."

"After I deliver the letter, should I come meet up with you?" Luo Feng asked slowly, having accepted these matters.

"No need."

"After you're done, shake off anyone following you, then return to the mansion," Chu Yun said.

Luo Feng nodded.

The Sky Demoness, with a charming smile, asked, "What? You want me to go to the Crown Prince's mansion. Are you planning to deal with the Crown Prince directly?"

Chu Yun shook his head. "That depends on you.

"But I'm afraid if you control him, you'll slip up, and it will be more of a loss than a gain."

Within the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince had many retainers.

It was even rumored that the Empress herself had sent protectors to guard him in secret.

This clone of the Sky Demoness was only in the early stage of the Shattering Realm.

If she were to directly attack the Crown Prince upon entering the Eastern Palace, the possibility of exposure would be too high.

The Sky Demoness put on an indifferent expression. "Then let's change the target."

"What about the Third Prince?"

Chu Yun looked at her with anticipation. "Oh? Do you have confidence?"

"Naturally."

"He's not as highly valued as Chu Rong."

"He's in his own Prince's Mansion. It won't be difficult to impersonate him," the Sky Demoness said confidently.

"Good."

"Then we'll make a move on Chu Yuan."

"Commander Luo Feng, you'll provide backup for Miss Yu at that time," Chu Yun instructed.

Luo Feng couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Making a move on the Third Prince, this was too thrilling.

It seemed the Ninth Prince was truly planning to gradually settle the scores from the past.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Despite his nervousness, Luo Feng agreed.

Unknowingly, he, the commander of the Shadow Guards, had gradually found himself on Chu Yun's side.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In Meng Ruoxue's boudoir.

"Miss, the materials for those formations have all been gathered."

"As for a suitable location to set up the formations, I'm currently having people search. There are many dangerous places in the mountains outside the city, so we should have results soon."

The beautiful woman reported to Meng Ruoxue, who was sitting in a chair.

Meng Ruoxue's expression was cold, and she said calmly, "Also, help me collect a list of all cultivators in the early Nirvana Realm within the Imperial City. Don't worry about their background."

"Yes, Miss."

Meng Ruoxue continued, "By the way, what's the status on what I asked you to keep an eye on regarding the Black Iron King and the Eastern Palace?"

The beautiful woman replied truthfully, "Miss, I have people watching both of those locations. There's no unusual activity detected yet."

"But Miss, I don't understand. How are you so certain that it was those two factions who posted the message in the Misty Rain Pavilion looking for Xiao Yan?"

A cold smile touched Meng Ruoxue's lips. "In the entire Imperial City, the only ones capable of bringing a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant into the city are the Empress, the Grand Tutor, and our Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Although other forces have merchant guilds in the city, it would take at least five to ten days to mobilize an Evil Infant into the city."

"Our Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't have it, so it must be one of the other two."

"The Grand Tutor and the Empress are working together, so we only need to keep a close watch on the major forces of the Empress's faction."

"That old fellow, the Grand Tutor, is unlikely to make a move himself."

"Therefore, the Eastern Palace and the Black Iron King naturally become the top priorities."

As the Prime Minister's daughter, Meng Ruoxue had a clear understanding of the entire Great Xia Dynasty's situation.

With her identity, the information she received far surpassed that of the Sky Demoness, who had reincarnated alongside her.

As the saying goes, a good birth is also a skill.

Therefore, by just monitoring the movements of the Empress's faction, she could follow them and find the Xiao Yan impersonated by the Sky Demoness!

"So that's how it is. Such clear and meticulous analysis, truly worthy of you, Miss." The beautiful woman said with admiration.

"You may go now. Go ahead."

"Once you've gathered the information, bring the list to me as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll get right on it!"

Night fell over the Imperial City, its lights blazing and streets bustling with lively energy.

The Misty Rain Pavilion remained the most prosperous and dazzling stage in the entire Imperial City.

Luo Feng, wearing a mask, entered the main hall and found one of the elders from before.

"I am a guard for Young Master Xiao Yan. I'm here to speak with Steward Xu Nian."

The elder recognized Luo Feng and his expression turned somewhat excited. "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go fetch Steward Xu immediately."

Not long after, the elder returned with Xu Nian.

"Hahahaha."

"My friend, why isn't Young Master Xiao Yan here today?" Xu Nian asked with a laugh, looking at Luo Feng.

"The Young Master is waiting elsewhere."

"I'm here on the Young Master's orders to deliver a message to Steward Xu."

Xu Nian asked curiously, "What message?"

"Someone anonymously entrusted your pavilion to post a message. They said if the Young Master meets them, they will present a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant as a gift. Is this true?" Luo Feng asked first.

"That's correct."

"Young Master Xiao Yan intends to meet them, doesn't he?" Xu Nian had already guessed as much.

Luo Feng stated directly, "The Young Master can meet them, but we get to choose the meeting location."

Xu Nian nodded. "That's not a problem. It's just a meeting; the location is irrelevant."

"Good."

"Then, at the stroke of midnight tonight, in the Cangfeng Mountain Range outside the city. The Young Master will be waiting for them at the mountain peak. Please trouble yourself to relay this message to them, Steward Xu," Luo Feng said.

Xu Nian nodded. "Alright, I'll deliver it immediately."

"Thank you. I'll be taking my leave then."

"Farewell."

Luo Feng turned and left.

Xu Nian glanced sideways at several Misty Rain Pavilion elders standing in the distance.

Those elders understood his unspoken meaning and followed directly behind Luo Feng, all the way out of the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"Sir, should we head to the Cangfeng Mountain Range immediately?"

"If this Xiao Yan meets our conditions, wouldn't it be a disaster if the Black Iron King and his group get there first?" an elder behind Xu Nian asked worriedly.

Xu Nian's expression was calm, his eyes holding a deep meaning. "I have a feeling things aren't that simple."

"First, take this message to the Black Iron King and the others. Don't waste any time."

"Yes, sir."

The elder immediately set off to deliver the message.

Xu Nian stood in place, thought for a moment, and finally walked upstairs.

This matter should first be decided by their Pavilion Master.

Upon receiving the message, the Black Iron King left his mansion that very night and entered the Eastern Palace.

Inside the main hall of the Eastern Palace at this moment.

The Crown Prince, Chu Rong, sat on the high seat. The Black Iron King, Wang Han Cuo, County King Guanshan, Bei Song, and several of the Crown Prince's retainers were all seated in the hall.

"The Misty Rain Pavilion's message is that Xiao Yan has agreed to meet."

"However, the meeting location is to be decided by Xiao Yan."

"At midnight tonight, in the Cangfeng Mountain Range outside the Imperial City, he will be waiting for us at the mountain peak."

The Black Iron King relayed the Misty Rain Pavilion's message to everyone at this moment.
