Chapter 1771: Lending a Knife to Kill

Sun, Azure Moon, and Azure Cloud... these three, like Azure Jade, were all the Emperor and Empress's biological children.The three offspring died together, and as the empress, she didn't show even a...As soon as he said that, everyone else was stunned. Their faces turned extremely ugly.

Damn it!

Two damn monks!

They are trying to lure the spirit demon to the Immortal Ruins!

No matter what faction or clan these cultivators belong to, they deserve to die!

"Those bastards! Why weren't they caught and killed by the demon clan sooner!" Taotao also understood the situation, gritting her teeth and cursing.

"Stop wasting time and move forward," the prince said coldly.

As soon as his voice fell, a white radiance enveloped the prince's body, and he rose into the air.

"Saint Son, this..." The expressions of the other Heavenly Palace disciples changed.

"Since cultivators have already used their spiritual energy to fly, we don't need to hide our presence anymore. Let's chase after them as soon as possible," the Prince replied calmly. "My only objective on this trip is to obtain the legacy of Immortal Hong Yang."

"Nobody can... interfere with my goals."

After that, the prince's aura erupted, and he flew forward at an incredible speed!

The remaining disciples of Tiangong looked at each other, but soon hardened their resolve.

They knew the Crown Prince was right.

Since the two cultivators have already released their spiritual energy, there is no point in them concealing their auras and slowly moving forward.

We should reach the Immortal Ruins as soon as possible, obtain the inheritance, and leave the Giant Nest early!

"Whoosh…"

Thus, the entire Tian Gong team released their spiritual energy and flew forward together.

The prince flew in the front, approaching the marked location on the map at a very high speed.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with malice, flashing with murderous intent.

For some reason, even though I knew it was impossible... but just now, several demonic spirits and two cultivators flew swiftly past overhead... there was indeed no feeling of pursuit.

If they were truly being chased by so many demon spirits, why were the two cultivators so calm, not making a sound and keeping their breath steady

Also, at that time the prince sensed... two cultivators in the middle, several demon spirits on either side, and one seemingly at the front.

Looking at the formation at that time, if they were being pursued... then the two cultivators would already be surrounded by the demon spirits.

No matter how you look at it, or think about it, it doesn't seem like a situation of being hunted.

If it's not a pursuit, what would be the situation

The demonic spirit surrounded the two cultivators, but did not attack. Instead, it sped towards the direction of the immortal ruins at incredible speed...

Suddenly, a wildly improbable thought crossed the prince's mind.

At the thought of this possibility, even the prince himself was stunned for half a second.

But soon, his face turned cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"You best be killed by demons, if you dare to fight me for the immortal inheritance... You lot will only die a worse death."

"The immortal inheritance... belongs to me only!"

……

From the Bone Serpent Lord's mouth, Fang Yu only learned that there were currently eight different factions in this jungle.

Although they are currently in different locations, their destinations are all the same.

It is the ruins of an immortal situated at the center of the Giant Nest.

This made Fang Yu feel very strange.

How did the location of this ancient hermit's ruins become known, attracting so many forces here

But this issue doesn't matter.

Because Fangyu knew that after surpassing the team from Tiangong, they would be the fastest to reach the Immortal Ruins.

However, upon learning of the size of the Prince's entourage, Xu Jia Lu's anxiety grew even stronger.

"That's the Crown Prince of the Eternal Dynasty, and he's also a disciple of Zhiyun True Person, one of the legendary first-class Xianmen Heavenly Palace... Headmaster Fang, we're going to fight a tiger for its food now!" Xu Jiaolu said with a pale face.

"What's wrong with the prince You know who gave me the map in my hands." Fang Yu said faintly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jialu was taken aback for a moment before her eyes flickered. She said, "Master Fang, don't you feel... that His Majesty's purpose in giving you this map is not merely to repay his debt..."

Fang Yu glanced at Xu Jialu and said, “You can share your insights.”

Xu Jia Lu lowered her voice and said carefully, "I feel that Your Majesty wants to use Master Fang's hand to discipline the Crown Prince... I told you before, Your Majesty once became furious because some ministers relied too heavily on the Crown Prince..."

"Well, go on." Fang Yu nodded and replied.

“The Crown Prince is currently revered as the Heavenly Palace Saint Son, and he is also considered one of the Four Great Celestials of the Southern Border Region. His cultivation may have already reached the Transcendent Realm.” Xu Jialu said, “To be honest, his current reputation outside is ahead of Your Majesty's, even within the imperial city... there seems to be a subtle balance where he shares equal status with Your Majesty.”

"I think, just my thoughts… A young emperor in his prime would surely not tolerate this."

So, the relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince is definitely not good right now...

After finishing, Xu Jiarou wiped the sweat from her forehead and added, "Fang Sect Leader, I only say this to you. You mustn't spread it..."

"Rest assured, I'll take care of this myself. I don't need to rely on the Emperor's Prince for anything," Fang Yu said with a smile.

"That's right." Xu Jiarou nodded.

"So you think... the Emperor wants to use my hand to get rid of the Crown Prince" Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No, their relationship might be strained, but they are still father and son after all... I just think His Majesty doesn't want the Crown Prince to have things go too smoothly." Xu Jiarou said, "After all, this time it concerns the inheritance of immortals. If the Crown Prince succeeds again... then he would be the chosen successor of the immortals, his prestige would be even higher... So His Majesty definitely wants to stop this from happening, but he can't do it openly."

Therefore, Your Majesty thought of other means...

"Do you mean that several factions came to the Giant's Nest...because the Emperor leaked the information" Fang Yu's eyes flickered, he asked.

"Well...it's possible, but not necessarily. After all, other major clans have their own ways of gathering information, too." Xu Jiaruo replied.

Xu Jia Lu's words piqued Fang Yu's interest in the internal affairs of the Eternal Imperial Dynasty. He continued, "You've talked about the Emperor extensively, but what about the Crown Prince"

"The Crown Prince... actually, there's not much to say. Once he's in that position, the only path left is to keep climbing higher." Xu Jialu replied.

"Doesn't he fear angering his father and bringing disaster upon himself" Fang Yu asked.

"In fact, since the Crown Prince was taken in as a direct disciple by Ziyun Zhenren from Tiangong, Your Majesty has been unable to do anything about him." Xu Jia lu shook her head and said, "You have to understand, Your Majesty is only an inner disciple of Tiangong, but the Crown Prince... is Ziyun Zhenren's direct disciple!"

"Within the Heavenly Palace, there is a clear distinction between direct disciples and inner disciples."

"The Emperor's status in the Heavenly Palace is lower than that of the Prince. This is the most embarrassing point of the Eternal Dynasty at present..."

Fang Yu nodded, and just imagined the situation, he could feel the Emperor's awkwardness.on back then.Ancient gods and the Ancient Tree... is there a connectionLooking back on the situation then, there was probably no connection... The ancient divine tree actually belonged to the Tree Dem...
