Mysterious Venerable Saves Empress, Prime Minister Moves Empress Faction!

Chu Yun's expression darkened slightly. "It's not your place to ask. Stop prying."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ye Tun didn't dare to say anything else. He obediently stayed in the air. Even so, after devouring three Nirvana Realm Evil Infants and refining them, he would undoubtedly gain a huge harvest.

Chu Yun's gaze swept towards the Sky Demoness and the others.

Seeing Meng Ruoxue at a disadvantage, he frowned slightly but didn't move, as if waiting for something.

By all rights, she was the Prime Minister's beloved daughter and the reincarnation of the Heavenly Mandate Empress. Chu Yun naturally couldn't just watch her die tonight.

Boom!!

Just as Yan Song was cornering Meng Ruoxue, a thunderous roar shook Crescent Moon Valley.

The next moment, a lightning shadow flashed past the women. It easily shattered the Sky Demoness's magical seal and whisked Meng Ruoxue away into the night sky.

The entire battle situation changed in less than a breath.

Meng Ruoxue's figure was no longer on the scene.

"What?!"

"This..."

Yan Song was greatly shocked. He looked back, his soul consciousness chasing after them, but he couldn't find any trace.

The Sky Demoness looked in the direction Meng Ruoxue had disappeared, her pupils deep as she murmured, "Venerable Realm..."

Chu Yun and Ye Tun happened to fly over. "It seems she had a backup plan. It's a shame she got away."

"In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, I've never heard of a woman at the Shattering Realm level with such means."

"Young friend, young lady, who exactly is this woman?" Yan Song asked with a solemn expression.

"Her identity... we're not clear either."

"However, it's fortunate that Elder Yan and the three ladies are unharmed," Chu Yun replied.

"Young friend speaks the truth."

"I must thank both of you for your assistance tonight. Otherwise, I fear I would have met my end at that woman's hands tonight."

"May I ask which faction you two come from?"

Yan Song understood that Chu Yun didn't want to reveal the woman's identity and didn't press further.

Regardless, he still had to express his gratitude for Chu Yun and the other's life-saving grace.

"Elder Yan Song, my name is Chu Yun."

"This young lady's surname is Yu, and she is also my future wife," Chu Yun introduced shamelessly.

"Chu Yun? That name sounds so familiar..."

"Chu... Chu Yun! Ninth Prince Your Highness!!"

"You... you are the Ninth Prince?"

Yan Song's pupils contracted, and his expression changed drastically.

"It's good that Elder Yan knows. I would appreciate it if you could keep tonight's events a secret."

"I don't want anyone else to know about this," Chu Yun said with a faint smile.

Yan Song was inwardly shocked and amazed.

It was the Ninth Prince!

He actually had the ability to control Evil Infants!

It was terrifying!

If this were to get out, the entire Imperial City would be shaken!

Furthermore, this Miss Yu was no ordinary person!

Not only was her appearance stunning, possessing beauty that could topple nations, but her strength was also formidable. Her cultivation at the peak of the Shattering Realm meant her power was already close to the Nirvana Realm.

How could these two be such terrifying prodigies?!

This Ninth Prince was too good at hiding his strength!

"Your Highness, rest assured. I will absolutely not mention this matter. No matter who asks, I will say I know nothing!" Yan Song immediately guaranteed.

"Very good, then that's all for now."

"Xin'er, let's go."

The Sky Demoness turned around and left with Chu Yun and Ye Tun.

Yan Song watched their departing figures, his heart unable to calm down for a long time. "This Ninth Prince is such a prodigy. It seems the Crown Prince's position as heir apparent may not be so secure..."

On the way back.

"How did you control the Evil Infants?"

"No one in the entire Origin Realm has ever possessed such an ability," the Sky Demoness couldn't help but ask him.

Chu Yun smiled indifferently, "It's an innate ability, what can I do? My luck is just that good."

The Sky Demoness looked at him suspiciously, "Is this truly an innate ability of yours?"

Chu Yun nodded, "Yes, the kind that makes you turn purple!"

The Sky Demoness was silent for a moment, then cautioned, "Then you must be careful from now on. Try not to use this ability openly."

"You still don't know what consequences mastering this ability will bring."

"Without exaggeration, if the news that you can control the Evil Infant reaches some of the more powerful forces in the Origin Realm, then you, and even the Great Xia Dynasty, will face utter destruction."

Chu Yun listened to her words, his playful expression slowly turning solemn, "Don't worry, an innocent man is guilty only because he possesses a treasure. I understand this principle better than anyone."

In a forest not far from the Imperial City, A flash of lightning streaked by, and Meng Ruoxue's figure landed there.

Her face was extremely alert as she asked the surroundings, "Who are you? Why did you save me?"

Silence answered her. No response came.

Meng Ruoxue's brows furrowed. That person had likely already left.

But she really couldn't understand why a person of the Venerable Realm would save her for no reason.

At the same time, she was still shocked by the fact that Chu Yun could control the Evil Infant.

"An Evil Infant at the peak of the Nirvana Realm... Could it be him!"

After recalling carefully, a name surfaced in Meng Ruoxue's mind.

Xiao Yan, who had won a peak Nirvana Realm Evil Infant from the Misty Rain Pavilion!

Meng Ruoxue's expression was grave, but she was also injured. The most pressing matter was to return to the Prime Minister's mansion as soon as possible under the cover of night.

The next day.

As soon as Chu Yun finished his breakfast, Luo Feng rushed in.

"Your Highness, something has happened!"

Seeing Luo Feng's anxious expression, Chu Yun couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Luo Feng replied with a serious expression, "In court today, the Prime Minister presented evidence against four third-rank officials for corruption, bribery, and other violations of Great Xia law!"

"His Majesty was furious and ordered their titles stripped, their nine generations of kin implicated, and all of them thrown into the imperial prison to await judgment!"

Chu Yun heard this and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

Luo Feng continued, "Your Highness, do you know the identities of these four people?"

"They were all important ministers from the Empress's faction, and the power they held combined was almost equivalent to that of a first-rank official!"

"Their arrest is like gouging out one of the Empress's eyes!"
