The true intentions are revealed when the true story is unleashed!
[An Ziqing] looked at him quietly, seemingly unsurprised, and said calmly:
"It's not that we can't discuss having me deliver Communication Transmission for His Highness."
"But before you agree, I have to ask you one question... Are you really confident you can kill him?"
Qin Mingjun raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? In Palace Heir An's opinion, I can't keep him?"
"..."
An Ziqing sat with his arms crossed in the chair, his expression growing increasingly cold and stern.
Honestly, it takes a lot of shame to seriously boast about how strong you are in front of outsiders.
But Ye Li has never lacked such qualities, and he would never be sentimental at such a critical juncture.
He met Qin Mingjun's gaze and spoke in An Ziqing's voice:
"You haven't seen Ye Li fight with your own eyes, so you don't know what you're dealing with."
"If Your Highness is not absolutely certain, and if the operation fails and he escapes, given his suspicious and ruthless nature, the first person he would kill is me, the one who informed you!"
His words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence.
After listening, Qin Mingjun smiled confidently.
He rose from his seat, gestured towards the hall door, and calmly said:
"What Palace Heir An said is very true."
"I have reviewed Ye Li's battle record over the past two days. Without thorough preparation, why would I have easily dragged Palace Heir into this mess?"
"Hearing is believing, Your Palace Heir, why don't you come with me to the backyard for a look?"
"..."
Ye Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he got up and followed.
After passing through two corridors, Qin Mingjun raised his hand to unlock the restriction on the courtyard gate and stepped into the backyard with "An Ziqing".
Buzz!
Almost the instant I stepped into the courtyard.
The six figures seated in the hall simultaneously opened their eyes, and six powerful and unparalleled Fortune-Mastery Realm swept out without any concealment, weaving into a heavy and mountain-like pressure of Laws in the air above the courtyard!
The weakest among them is at the Fortune-Mastery Fourth Layer Peak, while the leader, Old Ancestor Lu, and the chief guest of the Eastern Palace are actually at the Fortune-Mastery Sixth Layer Late Stage and the Seventh Layer Early Stage of Power!
An Ziqing suddenly stopped in his tracks!
A look of utter shock instantly appeared on that beautiful, aloof face, and the fingertips resting at her sides tensed slightly!
He took in her shocked and disoriented reaction.
Qin Mingjun was very satisfied.
It seems that this Cold Purity Palace Heir was not deliberately raising the price, but was truly terrified of Ye Li. Now that he has witnessed the strength of the Eastern Palace, his attitude has naturally softened.
A moment later.
An Ziqing seemed to have barely come to his senses. He pursed his lips, his trembling gaze sweeping over the six True Person before he hesitated and said:
"Six Fortune-Mastery True Cultivator have gathered here... The Eastern Palace's foundation is indeed very strong."
"But in my opinion, relying solely on these methods to deal with Ye Li is still a bit insufficient."
He truly hadn't expected the Crown Prince to have such a powerful background.
This is a rare opportunity; let's see if we can bring out even more of his potential!
Upon hearing this statement...
The Old Ancestor Lu and the others inside the hall immediately frowned, their expressions turning somewhat grim.
With the six of them joining forces, they could sweep away any force in the entire Eternal Night Continent.
He couldn't help but feel bad about being evaluated like this to his face by a young girl who hadn't even entered the Path Opening.
Hearing this, Qin Mingjun smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Don't be in a hurry, Palace Heir An, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"I have prepared more than just these methods to deal with that Supreme Clarity Palace Son."
"That's perfect! I'll introduce another collaborator who has come from afar to Palace Heir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the Side Hall on his right.
He Jingming, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately clapped his hands with a smile and bowed to invite people into the hall:
"Please welcome, Divine Dragon True Person!!"
Boom!!
Heavy footsteps echoed from the Side Hall, and a fierce and domineering surge of Blood Vitality rushed towards them!
Looking in the direction of the sound.
A burly, robust old man with dark golden dragon scales visible on his neck slowly walked out!
The terrifying immortal power belonging to the Fortune-Mastery Realm Late Stage spread out without reservation, actually suppressing the aura that the six True Persons in the courtyard had originally supported together!
Inside the hall, the expressions of Old Ancestor Lu and the others changed slightly. They all stood up, cupped their hands, and their eyes were full of apprehension.
And beside Qin Mingjun.
Upon seeing the robust old man, half-dragon and half-human, appear, Ye Li's heart trembled, and his spirits were greatly invigorated!
Divine Dragon True Person?!
Back when he was cleaning up the remnants of various rebellions in the Green Luo Continent, he had his eye on this big fish who had escaped from the Three Continents Alliance's siege years ago, based on his soul-searching memories. He had been thinking about finding an opportunity to lure this person out, kill him, and exchange his Malice Points.
To my utter surprise, this old guy actually came all the way to the Eternal Night Continent, and even deliberately walked right into my line of fire here!!
No, you can't laugh...
"You can't laugh yet!"
Ye Li took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and continued to maintain An Ziqing's cold and expressionless demeanor.
Wait a little longer!
Let's see what other amazing tricks this crown prince can come up with!
Before the steps of the palace gate, the Divine Dragon True Person stopped, his vertical pupils scrutinizing An Ziqing from head to toe, a sinister grin spreading across his face.
"The little girl from the Cold Purity Palace, back then, the Three Continents Alliance dispatched several high-level True Persons to besiege Divine Dragon Mountain, but they still couldn't save my life."
"Nowadays, I am also very interested in the newly appointed Palace Heir of the Supreme Clarity Palace."
"I wonder if, with these six fellow Daoists and my old bones added, we'll be enough to send him on his way?!"
They were met with the fierce and overwhelming divine power.
An Ziqing's face was pale, and his fingers, which were hanging in his sleeves, were slightly tucked in, as if he had been completely stunned and could no longer find fault with her.
Seeing this.
Qin Mingjun knew the time was right, so he immediately stepped forward and said in a low, gentle voice:
"Palace Heir An, there are some things I didn't say clearly in the front hall just now, out of consideration for your feelings."
"You were once the proud and noble daughter of the Cold Purity Palace. After being defeated by Ye Li in the Three Continents, you were not only forced to follow him like a slave, serving him tea, but you were also repeatedly humiliated in public as you traveled across continents. Your so-called True Disciple dignity was trampled underfoot by him!"
"I can see that you already hate Ye Li to the core!"
"Now that seven True Person are here, with Divine Dragon True Person being a top-tier expert in the Fortune-Mastery Realm, as long as you agree to cooperate, today is your chance to completely break free of your shackles!"
These words, so scathing and insightful, were spoken.
An Ziqing's chest heaved violently, as if he had finally made up his mind, and he spoke in a cold voice:
"Good!
"I'll help you, but how?!"
Qin Mingjun perked up and immediately led her and Divine Dragon True Person to the stone table in the courtyard, where the two sides began to discuss the conditions one by one.
Qin Mingjun spoke first:
"First, there's their whereabouts."
"The court assembly will end in about an hour and a half. When will Ye Li leave the Imperial Palace for the Imperial Palace? Could you find a way to lure him to a secluded spot outside the west city?"
An Ziqing calmly replied:
"It's impossible to lead him outside the city; he would never take a detour without a reason."
"However, I can tell you in advance what time he will be leaving."
Divine Dragon True Person crossed his arms and coldly interrupted, asking:
"What about that kid's self-defense methods?"
"Besides the [Heaven and Earth United] technique and the several Fortune-Mastery deities mentioned in the intelligence, did the Supreme Clarity Palace Master grant him any Imperial Edict to protect his life?"
[An Ziqing] glanced at Divine Dragon True Person and replied:
"No.
"In the eyes of the Supreme Clarity Palace, a single [Heaven and Earth United] item would be enough to help them cope with the crisis."
Divine Dragon True Person nodded repeatedly, a smile spreading across his face.
"The Supreme Clarity Palace is truly short-sighted. As long as there is no Imperial Edict from the True Lord to directly cross the boundary to protect the Dao, then it will be very easy to handle!"
"Once he steps into the place I've chosen beforehand, the six of you will activate the great formation to lock him down from all sides and cut off his escape route. I will personally descend to face and kill this brat head-on. Ten breaths will suffice!"
Qin Mingjun was immediately intrigued and quickly added:
"As for the matter of providing backup, Palace Heir An has no need to worry about it."
"When you go back later, just go out with him as usual. Before you make a move, He Jingming will personally lead people to pick you up from outside the formation."
"Afterwards, all traces will be attributed to the old grudges between Divine Dragon Mountain and the Three Continents Alliance, and will absolutely not implicate Palace Heir in the slightest!"
The four conditions were finalized one by one.
The steps are all interconnected, and it sounds like a perfect Heavenly Garment.
He Jingming, who was standing to the side, took out a pre-prepared contract Jade Slip and presented it with both hands with a smile on his face:
"Now that everything has been agreed upon, just in case, Palace Heir An to swear a solemn oath against her inner demons. Now, let's begin our preparations separately..."
Ye Li reached out and took the Jade Slip.
He raised his head, his gaze passing over He Jingming, sweeping over the quiet courtyard walls and the sky above, and suddenly chuckled softly as he asked:
Before we talk about taking an oath, I have one more question.
"I wonder if this is all the decorations you've made in the yard now?"
