Imperial Cultivation

"Hmm?" Chu Zhiyuan looked at her gentle and beautiful face. Meng Canglan said softly, "The Great Lie Dynasty's revenge."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "How will they retaliate?"

"According to what we know, the Great Lie Dynasty has a group of Youming Secret Guards." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

He had never heard of them, and even the Surveillance Division had no records of these Youming Secret Guards.

"This group of people is only a legend." Meng Canglan said slowly, "Their training methods are extremely cruel, similar to those evil sects of our Great Jing Dynasty."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Meng Canglan said, "These Youming Secret Guards are cruel to others and to themselves. Each of them has been trained into a non-human existence."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "How strong are they?"

"It is said that they can kill Grandmasters." Meng Canglan said slowly, "The Sect Leader believes that this is not just a legend. Nothing comes from nothing. They may have really killed Grandmasters."

"Killed a Grandmaster... then it involves spiritual cultivation."

"The matter of the Youming Secret Guards is extremely secretive. Few people in the world know about them. Our sect only happened to hear a little news by chance, but it is only a glimpse and difficult to see the truth."

"They really dare to assassinate me?" Chu Zhiyuan asked. Meng Canglan nodded slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If they really want to assassinate me, not to mention the Grandmasters of my Great Jing, even the Emperor Grandfather will use the Son of Heaven Sword. Their Great Lie Dynasty's Son of Heaven Sword can't stop my Great Jing's Son of Heaven Sword, right?"

"They will disguise themselves as evil sects to assassinate the Heir Apparent. Actually, they don't need to disguise themselves. I guess they were originally evil sects! The evil sects the Heir Apparent has offended are so many that they are countless. How can we be sure it's them?"

"Emperor Grandfather doesn't care about evidence," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "He will act on suspicion."

Meng Canglan said, "Evil sects are not so easy to deal with. Even if the Emperor wields the Son of Heaven Sword, he can't kill all the evil sects... When it's the Great Lie's turn, the Great Lie's Son of Heaven Sword can block it."

"In that case, they will definitely assassinate me?"

"I know what the Heir Apparent is thinking. Indeed, according to normal thinking, they would not dare to be so crazy." Meng Canglan said softly, her expression serious, "But Heir Apparent, the Great Lie and our Great Jing are similar in appearance, and they also imitate our clothing, but their inherent paranoia and extremism are different from ours."

Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.

Meng Canglan said, "They are extremely paranoid and act single-mindedly. Once they decide to do something, they will not hesitate to go to destruction!"

"Paranoia..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered. Meng Canglan said, "The soldiers of the Great Lie seem not as strong as those of our Great Jing, but they have one of the most terrible things, that is, strict discipline and extremely strong obedience."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Strict to the point of being rigid."

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been so easy to destroy the four battalions.

Directly taking their central army tent and destroying the remaining Grandmasters first.

The remaining soldiers did not receive instructions, so they did not act. This allowed the Phoenix Battalion to act so smoothly.

When he sneaked in to observe, he also discovered this, so he arranged the tactics in that way and dared to be so bold.

Meng Canglan said, "Their strict discipline has many advantages, but it also has drawbacks, that is, insufficient adaptability."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Even if they know they can't win, as long as the above issues an order, the soldiers will obey without violation."

"That's right." Meng Canglan said softly, "Both the Great Lie Dynasty and the Great Guang Dynasty have this kind of paranoia, so the two dynasties have fought for so long, never letting go of each other, and never letting go of themselves."

Under normal circumstances, two small countries, continuing to fight like that, would only become weaker and weaker, and eventually be swallowed by the neighboring great powers.

They should ease their relationship for the sake of interests and survival, so as to protect themselves.

But they continued to fight regardless.

But what is amazing is that their fighting did not weaken, but continued to become stronger.

It has to be said that their inherent extremism has brought their potential to the extreme.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If I am targeted by them, will they bite me and not let go?" "That's right." Meng Canglan nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Youming Secret Guards... Interesting. Do you have any other information about them?"

Meng Canglan's slender eyes flashed, and she said softly, "Does the Heir Apparent want to strike first?"

The Worry-Free Sect has been studying Chu Zhiyuan.

Including his cultivation, his aptitude, his character, his habits, and his style of doing things.

It was found that he appeared to be cautious, meticulous, and never took risks.

He almost always stayed in the inner city of Yujing City and never came out.

Although his cultivation was extremely high and his killing techniques were superb, he rarely took action.

When he did take action, he often used strength to overcome weakness, and would never put himself in a situation of using weakness against strength.

He often asked Grandmasters to protect him.

Although the Emperor did not like Prince Qing, he was very tolerant of this Heir Apparent with extremely high aptitude. He would give him Grandmasters if he wanted them. It can be said that he was greatly favored by the Emperor.

But once this Heir Apparent decided to take action, he often struck first and took the lead.

His swordsmanship was profound, and his flying knives were even more amazing. It is said that they came from the Asking Heart Knife of Asking Heaven Cliff.

The Asking Heart Knife Manual has been lost in the world. It is possible that he has mastered the secret knife manual of the Great Jing royal family.

Guarding the four great cave heavens and the four great secret lands, the Great Jing Emperor must have many secret inheritances.

A knife manual is not uncommon.

This time's raid, his flying knives must have been crucial, otherwise many things would not make sense at all.

"Striking first is not necessary. Let's see their actions first." Chu Zhiyuan said, "If they really dare to retaliate, they must be found."

"The news of the Youming Secret Guards is too difficult to obtain." Meng Canglan showed a troubled expression, "They usually don't move. Once they move, they often kill everyone around them."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, "Such people, the Emperor dares to use them. Is he not afraid of losing the hearts of the people?"

"That's why they have to kill everyone. Dead people naturally cannot leak the news." Meng Canglan said, "If it weren't for two of our sect's disciples who happened to encounter them and escaped by feigning death, we wouldn't have known of their existence."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Then do you have any of their belongings that Grandmasters can track?"

Meng Canglan shook her head, "It's useless." "Has your sect's Grandmaster tracked them before?"

"They tried to track them, but to no avail." "Can you let me try?" Meng Canglan stretched out her hand.

Li Yilong took out a dark green box from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Meng Canglan took it and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan, "This string of prayer beads was accidentally dropped by a Youming Secret Guard during a fight."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and looked at her.

Meng Canglan was indeed a thoughtful person. She had thought of everything and anticipated that he would ask for belongings, so she prepared them in advance.

He smiled and reached out to take the dark green box, but as he was about to open it, an alarm suddenly went off in his heart. His hand stopped immediately.

The dark green box was made of a special material that isolated the inside from the outside, preventing super-sense from seeing inside.

Meng Canglan looked at him in confusion.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and pushed the dark green box back to her, "Holy Maiden, please open it for me."

Meng Canglan couldn't help but smile sweetly, "Is the Heir Apparent afraid that we will plot against you?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying a word.
