The elder clan leader pretended not to hear the second half of Li Yunshan's sentence.
"There's no rush to go back. Although the situation at the Imperial Pass is tense, His Majesty is there for the time being, so there's no immediate danger."
"We have come here not only to bestow gifts upon Miss Xiyun by His Majesty, but also because His Majesty has instructed me to investigate the situation beyond Heavenly Vault Pass."
The elder clansman said earnestly, "The battle with the Sin Beast is now at an all-out standoff, and His Majesty is also seeking a way out. Now that Heavenly Vault Pass has won a great victory, we can see if we can use this as a breakthrough to deal a heavy blow to the Sin Beast."
Li Yunshan narrowed his eyes. He knew that the other party's reluctance to leave Heavenly Vault Pass was definitely not as simple as they claimed, and there must be other plans behind it.
However, if the other party wanted to stay in Heavenly Vault Pass, he couldn't forcibly expel them.
Now we can only deal with whatever comes our way, try to find out the other party's true intentions, and take precautions.
While the elder clan leader and Li Yunshan continued their battle of wits, the Third Prince's eyes kept falling on Li Xiyun.
A few days ago, the Third Prince, who was in the capital, learned by chance that Li Xiyun had actually broken through to the King Realm.
He was stunned when he heard the news, after all, Li Xiyun had almost become his wife.
However, due to some reasons, the marriage was called off, and he married a new wife. Over the years, he has almost forgotten about the matter.
But now, upon hearing that Li Xiyun had become King Realm expert, he was reminded of this matter once again.
If the marriage hadn't been annulled back then, it would mean he would have a wife at the King Realm as a foundation.
With the existence of the Heavenly Vault King, his chances of becoming the new emperor will greatly increase.
Thinking about all this, the Third Prince began to have feelings for Li Xiyun, after all, he had heard that she had never married.
Then he took the initiative to find Heavenly Revelation Emperor and asked to come to Heavenly Vault Pass, his purpose being self-evident.
"Uncle Wang, I would like to take a stroll Heavenly Vault Pass. Would you be so kind as to ask Miss Xiyun to show me the way?" The Third Prince put down his wine cup, stood up, and bowed to Li Yunshan.
Li Yunshan's eyes flashed; how could he not guess what the other party was thinking? He looked at Li Xiyun.
"Since the Third Prince is in such a good mood, Xiyun, am willing to accompany him," Li Xiyun said. She hadn't wanted to stay any longer anyway, so this was a good opportunity to leave.
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was overjoyed. Since the other party hadn't refused, didn't that mean he had a chance?
"In that case, Yun'er, why don't you show the Third Prince around?" Li Yunshan said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
"Third Prince, please."
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Xiyun."
The third prince, with a smile, walked out of the palace with Li Xiyun.
The elder smiled as he watched this scene. Sure enough, he didn't need to say anything; the Third Prince would act on his own.
With Li Xiyun tied down, it will be easier for me to find an opportunity to secretly deal with Li Zhao later.
Soon, Li Xiyun and the Third Prince walked out of the main hall.
"Miss Xiyun, I..."
Just as the Third Prince stepped out of the main hall and was about to speak, a figure suddenly flew swiftly from afar.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! The young master's old illness has relapsed." The person who came was filled with anxiety.
Li Xiyun's expression also changed drastically. She then cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to the Third Prince, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry, my elder brother has fallen ill and needs my intervention. I am unable to accompany you on your tour for the time being."
Then Li Xiyun looked at Wei Min and Zheng Tang behind her, "You two accompany His Highness to tour Heavenly Vault Pass. Do not neglect him. If His Highness has any requests, do your best to fulfill them."
"Yes." Wei Min and Zheng Tang immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Without giving the Third Prince a chance to speak, Li Xiyun took a step and disappeared from the spot.
"Your Highness, please."
Wei Min stepped forward respectfully.
The third prince took a deep breath, his heart filled with dissatisfaction.
Having finally gotten a chance to be alone with Li Xiyun, he was even thinking about how to win her favor and win her over, but his plan was completely ruined.
But he also knew that things happened suddenly, and he was aware of Li Zhao's situation, so it was normal for Li Xiyun to be anxious.
Let's go.
The smile on the Third Prince's face disappeared, and he said calmly.
Since we said we wanted to visit Heavenly Vault Pass, let's just wander around aimlessly.
As for Li Xiyun, we'll find another opportunity later.
Meanwhile, Li Xiyun arrived at a grand hall and looked at Li Zhao, who was still inside the blood cocoon. The anxiety on her face had long since disappeared.
The coincidence just now was naturally something she had planned in advance; she had no interest in idly strolling around with that damned Third Prince.
"In another half month, my elder brother will be able to achieve rebirth."
Looking at the blood-red cocoon in front of her, Li Xiyun thought to herself that she planned to stay here for the time being.
Firstly, to prevent any accidents from happening to Li Zhao, and secondly, because he was too lazy to see the Third Prince again.
Just as she was thinking, Li Xiyun suddenly trembled, and then she felt her bloodline power begin to increase, which made her aura rise a bit.
"This is... An'er has broken through to the King Realm?"
Li Xiyun's eyes were filled with joy. She had thought that even if her son was exceptionally talented, it would take him at least one or two months to break through to the King Realm. She never expected that he would have broken through after only a few days away.
"In this way, even if the royal family finds out about An'er's existence, An'er will have the ability to protect herself," Li Xiyun thought to herself.
Buzz...
At this moment, the aura on the blood cocoon also began to strengthen, clearly indicating that Li Zhao, as Lin An's maternal uncle, had also increased his bloodline power.
Although it didn't match the increase in Li Xiyun's strength, it wasn't insignificant either.
"My elder brother's bloodline power has also increased; perhaps he can successfully undergo Nirvana sooner." Li Xiyun said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Li Yunshan, who was engaged in a battle of wits with the clan elder in the main hall, also sensed an increase in the power of his own bloodline.
He was slightly taken aback at first, but quickly guessed the reason and immediately suppressed his aura.
The elder clan leader glanced at Li Yunshan curiously; although the other party moved quickly, he still noticed it.
He was also puzzled as to why Li Yunshan had suddenly released his aura.
However, he soon received news that Li Zhao's illness had flared up again.
This made him realize that it was normal for Li Yunshan's breathing to be unstable for a moment because of Li Zhao.
This also made him realize that Li Zhao's condition was extremely critical; he might perish without even needing to intervene.
"Come, come, Heavenly Vault King, have another drink."
The elder immediately smiled and raised his cup, conveniently leaving the Heavenly Vault King here to save him from having to treat Li Zhao.
Seeing the other person's expression, Li Yunshan immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"Elder, I have other matters to attend to, you see..." Li Yunshan said, a hint of anxiety in his expression.
" Heavenly Vault King, I've come all this way, you have to keep me company and have a good drink."
"Furthermore, His Majesty has some words for me to convey to you. Are you not going to disobey the imperial decree?"
Seeing the other party's anxiety, the elder was secretly pleased, but his face became serious.
"This..."
The Heavenly Vault King hesitated.
"Come, come, let's drink. Now that Heavenly Vault Pass is secure, if anything happens, let your men handle it. Even if a powerful enemy comes knocking, I will quickly lend a hand."
The elder clan leader didn't give the other person a chance to speak, raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Heavenly Vault King sighed and had no choice but to pick up his wine cup and drink it all in one gulp.
The two old foxes began their battle of wits once again.
