Princess Minmin sighed upon hearing this, "Zhiruo! Calm down! The fact that the necklace is still blood red means that Changfeng is in a safe place. If we rush to find him, we might alert him and let him take the opportunity to capture us all!"
"Then we'll have truly wasted the chance to live that Changfeng fought so hard for us!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what do we do now?"
Princess Minmin said solemnly upon hearing this, "Return to the capital! Then send someone to find Changfeng!"
Zhou Zhiruo hesitated upon hearing this, "This... is it possible to make it in time? I'm afraid..."
Princess Minmin sighed upon hearing this, "This is the only way now. Although we can't save him right now, we can't hold him back either. There's no time to lose! Let's set off now!"
"Murong Zhan! Xiao Qing! Come here!"
The two guards outside the cave suddenly heard Princess Minmin's telepathic message and rushed over, "Cousin! Have you healed your injuries?"
"Okay! Healed! You two get ready, we're heading back to the capital!"
Xiao Qing was startled upon hearing this, "Sister Minmin! Aren't we going to wait for big brother?"
"We can't wait any longer! The best thing to do now is to find someone to rescue him. I can assure you, he's in a safe place recovering!"
Xiao Qing hesitated upon hearing this, "This... this doesn't seem quite right! I want to wait for my older brother here!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhan advised, "My cousin has her reasons for doing this! I believe her; she's such a smart person! Besides, my cousin is just as worried about my brother-in-law as you are about him!"
Xiao Qing nodded slowly upon hearing this, "Then I also believe in Sister Minmin!"
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo slowly walked out, "Let's... go!"
The Imperial City.
At this moment, in the Qian Heaven Palace, Murong Longbo was furious upon hearing Princess Minmin's report. "What! How dare this evil person be so bold! He even dares to touch my daughter! He's courting death!"
"Someone come here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared in the hall. They were Commander Lu and Grand Supervisor Cao. "Your subordinates are here!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Longbo's face darkened as he said, "You two, cooperate with the Princess to find Li Changfeng! Remember, you must bring him back safe and sound!"
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions turned solemn, and they cupped their hands in greeting, saying, "We accept your orders!"
Murong Longbo nodded upon hearing this, "Alright! You all go outside and wait for a moment, I have something to discuss with the Princess!"
Upon hearing this, the two cupped their hands in greeting and slowly withdrew from the main hall, awaiting the Princess's instructions.
Murong Longbo narrowed his eyes slightly. "Minmin! I rarely see you care about someone so much, especially a man! This kid would risk his life for you, your relationship must be more than just casual!"
Princess Minmin blushed upon hearing this, "He was always my husband!"
Murong Longbo flew into a rage and smashed the magnificent dragon throne to pieces with a single blow. "What! You... you've lost your virginity?"
The commotion startled the two people outside the hall. "Your Majesty! What... what's wrong with him?"
Princess Minmin rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this, "How could that be! As a Princess of the Imperial Court, how could I possibly lose my virginity under such circumstances!"
Murong Longbo's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, "Then what kind of husband are you talking about! We're not even married yet!"
Princess Minmin snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Hmph! That's all your fault! Didn't you hold Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage? He was the one who won in the end!"
Murong Longbo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Hmm! What a coincidence! It seems you two are indeed destined for each other!"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this, "In that case, you must agree to our marriage!"
Murong Longbo chuckled upon hearing this, "This lad... he's certainly qualified to be my son-in-law!"
Princess Minmin curled her lip upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "I bet you're secretly delighted! You wanted to marry me off on the spot, and now you can't wait to have such a talented son-in-law!"
"Alright! I'm going to find him now!"
"Alright! Go ahead! Come back soon so we can prepare your wedding!"
After Princess Minmin left, Murong Longbo couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Good, good, good! Minmin is finally getting married, and her eye for talent is indeed sharp, choosing the number one talent on the Human Rankings right away. She truly is my daughter!"
"Brother! Tell me quickly, what should we do about this marriage?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Murong Longzhan appeared, giving Murong Longbo a disdainful look. "You little brat, you can't hold back now, can you! Look at you, acting like a coward! This isn't the time to be talking!"
"I sense that this heretical organization is not simple! I think I'd better go with them and rescue your son-in-law while I'm at it!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Longbo's expression turned serious. "You're right, Your Majesty! I'll have to trouble you with this matter!"
Murong Longzhan chuckled softly upon hearing this, "Wait for my good news!"
Ghost King Sect.
At that moment, inside a dark hall, one of the more prominent life tablets suddenly shattered, startling a disciple guarding the mourning hall. He immediately ran to report to his elder.
"Elder Zhou! Something's happened! One of the elders' life tablets has been broken!"
Elder Zhou's face darkened upon hearing this. He quickly went into the mourning hall to check and, upon discovering the shattered life tablet, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Looks like he's failed again! This kid's progress is truly rapid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Zhou's figure flashed, transforming into a swift afterimage as he left the place and arrived in a dark hall. "Reporting to the Sect Master! The plan to assassinate Li Changfeng has failed!"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King Sect Master's eyes turned cold, and an icy aura emanated from his entire body, causing Elder Zhou to shiver. "Another failure! What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Elder Zhou broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. "Sect Master! Then... then should we send someone to assassinate him?!"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King Sect Master's eyes flashed with a crimson light. "Send! Why not send! This guy is now without a sect or faction, so even if he dies, no one will seriously investigate. Send me a strong one, preferably above the Acquired Realm. This time, he must die!"
"Elder Gui! Go! This time you must bring me his head back!"
A shadowy figure appeared in the hall at some unknown time. He chuckled evilly, "Sect Master, rest assured! I will definitely bring back Li Changfeng's head!"
Dongjiang River.
At this moment, Princess Minmin, along with Commander Lu and Grand Supervisor Cao, slowly arrived here after searching for traces of the great battle. They immediately discovered that all traces had vanished!
Commander Lu pondered, "Your Princess! There are no traces of the battle here. I think Li Changfeng may very well have jumped into the Dongjiang River!"
Grand Supervisor Cao nodded. "I think so too! In that situation, the best course of action was to jump into the Dongjiang River!"
Princess Minmin's face turned grim upon hearing this. "It seems he must have jumped into the Dongjiang River. We must not delay, we must immediately send people to search along the banks of the Dongjiang River!"
