Ye Li's Bloodlust Knows No Bounds. He Must Be Eliminated!

At the same time.

In the vast Crown Prince's residence in the Southern Region Longwind Capital.

Qin Mingjun stood neatly dressed in the back hall, his hands behind his back.

But at this moment, his face was gentle and composed, showing no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

"I am truly gratified that everyone has come upon hearing the news, without exception."

In front of him.

Six powerful figures sat on the armchairs on either side of the hall.

Without exception, they were all True Persons at the Fortune-Mastery Realm!

Two of them were trusted advisors who had served the Eastern Palace for many years, while the other four were the Old Ancestor of several powerful noble families in the capital and the Supreme Elder secretly maintained good relations with the sects.

However, the atmosphere inside the hall was far from relaxed.

A Brocade Robe Old Man, seated at the head of the left-hand seat, put down his teacup, frowned, and sighed:

"Your Highness, I just received word of this this morning."

"Yesterday evening, the Mystic Gale Sect was also wiped out by that brat surnamed Ye."

"If we make our move in the Capital City today and fail to achieve a swift victory, causing too much commotion and alarming the Imperial Palace, what will we do if His Majesty blames us?"

This person is the Old Ancestor of the Marquis of Northern Suppression's Residence.

Having reached the Fortune-Mastery Sixth Layer Late Stage Qi Mastery realm, and accustomed to a life of luxury, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when faced with a ruthless person like Ye Li.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Before Qin Mingjun could speak, a gray-robed True Person carrying a long sword on his back coldly snorted:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the situation is urgent, and you're still hesitating here?"

"All those secret accounts of Life-Extending Temple are now in Ye Li's hands!"

"Doesn't your Lu Clan know how many Treasure Pellet you take from Life-Extending Temple every year?"

"Once Ye Li finishes his audience with the Emperor today and then turns around and comes to your Marquis's residence according to the list... do you think he'll talk to you about Imperial Court etiquette?!"

Old Ancestor Lu's face turned ashen, and he was speechless for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other True Person also darkened.

That's definitely the logic.

Ye Li killed too many people in the past two days, killing Imperial Court and court officials at will.

Their hopes of mediating a peace process have long been dashed.

Now that the accounts are in someone else's hands, if we don't want to sit idly by and wait for our doom, we have no choice but to get rid of them before they reach an agreement with the emperor!

Seeing that the time was almost right, Qin Mingjun smiled and raised his hand, gently reassuring her:

"Dear seniors, there is no need to worry."

"If this alarms the Father Emperor, I will take full responsibility."

"Once this is done, I will have all the account books in the Supreme Clarity Palace headquarters destroyed. As for the treasures Cultivation Method on Ye Li's person, all of you here are welcome to take what you need!"

Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Lu and the others exchanged glances. Knowing that they now had to share both honor and disgrace, they all stood up and bowed, saying:

"Since Your Highness has made all the arrangements, we will certainly do our utmost!"

After settling the six True Person in one by one...

Qin Mingjun then instructed them to wait quietly in the courtyard, and then turned and walked out of the backyard.

At the end of the corridor.

He Jingming, looking travel-worn, strode towards us.

Qin Mingjun stopped and asked in a low voice:

How's your plan going?

He Jingming took a few steps closer, bowed with a pleased expression, and said:

"Your Highness, everything went smoothly!"

"I have spies watching over the Imperial Palace where Ye Li lives. The gates are still tightly closed, and he hasn't gone out."

"The Manager of the Supreme Clarity Palace are all at their respective residences organizing files, and there is no sign of them going out."

"As for that Cold Purity Palace Heir... he left alone half an hour ago following the clues we gave him, and he's just crossed the front street and will be at the Mansion Gate soon!"

After hearing this report, Qin Mingjun's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Very good.

"Go and invite them into the front hall. Be polite and don't let them sense any disrespect."

"Your subject understands!"

He Jingming smiled and agreed, then immediately turned and strode towards the Mansion Gate to greet them.

Not long after.

A series of light footsteps sounded outside the front hall.

He Jingming personally led the way, welcoming a stunningly beautiful figure dressed in a plain white robe, with a cool and aloof demeanor, into the hall.

He then tactfully retreated outside the door and gently closed it.

Qin Mingjun stood in front of the desk, his gaze sweeping over the visitor.

Hanqing aura was pure and refined, and his brows and eyes carried a hint of the aloofness and detachment unique to the True Disciple the Immortal Sects, perfectly matching the Cold Purity Palace Heir in the intelligence report.

A gentle smile appeared on Qin Mingjun's face. He took two steps forward and cupped his hands in greeting:

"I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly, Your Palace Heir An."

Please take a seat!

"Um."

Ye Li, who was disguised as An Ziqing, remained calm, nodded slightly in return, and then walked to the guest seat and sat down.

His every gesture exuded the elegance of a master.

Qin Mingjun also took his seat in the main seat, personally picked up the White Jade teapot on the table, poured a cup of Spirit Tea for the person in front of him, and pushed it over, saying gently:

"This is the Dao-Enlightenment Cloud and Mist that was just presented as tribute from the Southern Territory this year; it is most effective in calming the mind and spirit."

"Palace Heir An, you might want to try it."

Seeing An Ziqing take the teacup, Qin Mingjun's eyes flickered, and he continued:

"Speaking of which, I heard a few days ago that the Palace Heir had accompanied the emperor to the capital, and I have been quite moved by it."

"Cold Purity Palace is one of the top immortal Immortal Sects in the Three Continents, and its Palace Heir is the designated successor. In terms of talent and ability, he is a top figure among the younger generation. He shouldn't have to suffer such humiliation under someone else's roof."

As he spoke, he looked at the woman opposite him, whose expression was cold and aloof, and said sincerely:

"If Palace Heir trust me, whether you want to return to the Three Continents to take over the Cold Purity Palace again or stay in the Eternal Night Continent to establish another Daoist temple, my Longwind Divine Dynasty will do its best to help you."

"I will present any precious elixirs or rare medicines needed for cultivation with the utmost respect, as if they were the most honored guests in the divine court. I will never allow anyone to tarnish the dignity of the Palace Master again!"

Call--

The aroma of tea wafted through the hall.

[An Ziqing] glanced down at the steaming teacup in front of her, then raised her cool eyes to look directly at Qin Mingjun, her voice slightly cold as she said:

I appreciate Your Highness's kindness.

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Your Highness deliberately feigned illness to avoid court today and invited me here alone. Surely it wasn't just to help me with my cultivation?"

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want? Why not speak frankly and openly?"

Seeing the other party's directness, Qin Mingjun wasn't surprised. Instead, he smiled slightly and dropped his polite demeanor.

"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush."

"Ye Li is an eccentric man who has no regard for the law."

"In just a few days, he has committed heinous atrocities within the borders of my Divine Dynasty. I, the Empress, wish to rid the country of this scourge and leave this villain in the Capital City forever!"

"I invited Palace Heir here today because I hope Palace Heir can remain by Ye Li's side as a spy, reporting his exact whereabouts to me at all times, so that we can cooperate to kill him in one fell swoop!"
