"Two things."
"Ten-thousand-year Blood Essence Stone, and one more, an Evil Infant at the peak of the Nirvana Realm," Chu Yun stated his conditions.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Black Iron King and the others grew somber.
"The two items Young Master Xiao needs are truly exceptionally rare," Wang Han Cuo said in a deep voice.
Chu Yun adopted an indifferent attitude. "That's why I said, the Crown Prince likely doesn't have what I need, so let's not make things difficult for each other."
"If there's nothing else, then we'll take our leave."
Just as Chu Yun and Venerable Wan Lei were about to depart.
Wang Han Cuo immediately called out, "Young Master Xiao, wait!"
Chu Yun stopped, looking at him calmly.
"Young Master Xiao, if we can produce these two items, will you then be willing to join the Eastern Palace and serve the Crown Prince and the Empress?" Wang Han Cuo asked solemnly.
Chu Yun agreed. "Naturally."
"As long as you can provide what I need, I am willing to do my utmost to assist the Crown Prince in ascending the throne!"
Wang Han Cuo nodded heavily. "Good!"
"Young Master Xiao, although these two items are priceless, it's not necessarily true that we don't have them."
"However, this matter requires us to discuss it. Once we've decided, we will give you a reply."
Chu Yun nodded. "No problem."
"Ten days from now, at the same time, right here!"
Chu Yun gave them ten days, mainly to allow them ample time to gather these two items.
"Alright, it's a deal!"
After Wang Han Cuo and the others made their agreement with Chu Yun, they each departed.
Just as the elder from Misty Rain Pavilion was preparing to follow Chu Yun...
BOOM!!
"One more step, and your blood will be spilled here!"
A bolt of lightning power from Venerable Wan Lei shot down in front of him, forming an electromagnetic field that coiled like thorns, blocking his path.
As the sound reached his ears, the elder from Misty Rain Pavilion, startled, immediately abandoned his plan to follow.
Meng Ruoxue, who remained on the scene, witnessed all of this.
Her expression flickered with a hint of suspicion. "The power of the Venerable Realm... Who exactly is he?"
Meng Ruoxue was extremely curious about Xiao Yan's identity now, that his guardian was actually someone at the Venerable Realm.
This truly astonished her.
And because of Venerable Wan Lei's presence, Misty Rain Pavilion and Meng Ruoxue could only give up on further pursuit.
Her own cultivation was insufficient, which limited her in many actions.
Meng Ruoxue also planned to return and refine the Source of Nirvana as soon as possible, so she could break through to the Nirvana Realm.
At that time, even when facing someone at the Venerable Realm, she would at least have some ability to protect herself.
Deep in the night.
Under the protection of Venerable Wan Lei, Chu Yun successfully returned to his residence.
In the hall of the backyard.
Luo Feng was pacing back and forth in the hall, waiting.
Upon seeing Chu Yun and Venerable Wan Lei return safely, his face lit up with joy. "Your Highness! How did it go? Did anything happen this time?"
"Nothing."
"How about your side?"
Chu Yun entered with a calm expression and asked.
"Misty Rain Pavilion sent people to follow me, but I'm far too familiar with the roads in the Imperial City and lost them quickly."
"As for Miss Yu, that has also been successfully handled," Luo Feng replied.
"Oh? Where is she?" Chu Yun asked with a playful smile.
"Locked up in a secret room in the backyard."
If you find this book to be good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
"By the way, Your Highness, did you find out who they were on your trip?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"People from the Empress's faction..."
Chu Yun briefly recounted the events to him.
After listening, Luo Feng frowned, "Wang Han Cuo and the County King of Beishan actually came to the Imperial City in secret."
"It seems most likely that the Empress used her power to secretly open a special passage for them. Otherwise, there's no way they could have bypassed the Shadow Guards."
"Since the two of them entered the city secretly, I must report this matter to His Majesty!"
Luo Feng thought about it and still felt it was necessary to report. After all, Wang Han Cuo was no ordinary person, and the County King Guanshan had entered the city secretly without prior notice.
If this action were to be strictly accounted for, it would be deceiving the emperor!
"No need."
"They're already people who are going to die, so why report it?" Chu Yun said leisurely.
"Your Highness means that you plan to make a move against them in the Cangfeng Mountain Range ten days from now?" Luo Feng asked.
Chu Yun smiled and nodded gently.
If Wang Han Cuo hadn't offered him the chance to name his price today, he would have already had Venerable Wan Lei take action.
However, with things unfolding this way, it was also good.
One should know that with the Empress's faction's influence, they were very likely to be able to produce the conditions he had set.
After ten days, he would collect both the treasures and the people for himself.
Wouldn't that be wonderful!
"Alright, Commander Luo, let's go take a look at my elder brother first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The three of them left the great hall and, under the cover of night, arrived at the secret chamber where Chu Yuan was being held.
Chu Yuan's limbs were currently bound to a rack, his entire being exhausted, his head hanging low.
The commotion caused by Chu Yun and the other two entering woke him up.
"Chu... Chu Yun!!"
"Luo Feng!"
"You... you have some nerve!"
"To dare tie me up here!"
"Do you believe me? If my mother and my eldest brother discover my disappearance tomorrow, you'll be completely finished!"
"Kidnapping an Imperial Prince is a crime punishable by death!!"
Upon seeing Chu Yun and Luo Feng before him, Chu Yuan immediately flew into a rage, threatening and cursing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Third Brother, what are you saying? Who isn't an Imperial Prince?"
"As for what you're thinking, don't worry. Your mother and your elder brother will never realize that you've been replaced," Chu Yun said with a playful smile.
"You... what do you mean by that?"
"You tied me up and found someone to impersonate me?!"
"Chu Yun, you little bastard, you're playing these tricks on me now!"
"You're just like your concubine mother, a complete slut!"
"I don't know what it is about that woman that has Father Emperor so mesmerized, but even so, it doesn't change the fact that she's a slut!"
Chu Yuan stopped pretending. Deep down, he intensely disliked Chu Yun and his mother, and now he was cursing them without restraint!
Chu Yun looked at him quietly, his expression so calm it was somewhat frightening.
"Commander Luo, has Miss Yu already performed a soul search?" Chu Yun asked calmly.
"Yes, Your Highness," Luo Feng replied.
"Good, then you two may leave for now."
Hearing Chu Yun's command, Luo Feng and Wan Lei exchanged a glance, then nodded, "Yes."
The figures of the two disappeared from the dark chamber in an instant.
Chu Yun looked at Chu Yuan before him, his expressionless face. "Blood World!"
BOOM!!
In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Blood Divine Root Bone within Chu Yun was unleashed to its fullest. The blood energy in his body boiled, and a torrent of blood energy suddenly erupted from Chu Yun, forming a circular blood realm that enveloped the entire dark chamber!
