Sheng Fu

Chapter 1037 There’s news
Among the crowd was an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in purple brocade robes. Upon seeing this scene, a glint of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The two assassins in the open have already failed in their mission.

He was unable to continue his attack. In the first half of the night, he clearly sensed an extremely distinct aura of limitlessness heading towards the capital.

A mission like assassinating the Northern King naturally requires the cooperation of experts at the Guiyuan, Lingxiao, and Wuji levels.

And this old man was a Lingxiao powerhouse.

He also wanted to give these two assassins a heads-up beforehand, but unfortunately he didn't know how many people were on this mission or what they looked like.

Each person should perform their duties to prevent their whereabouts from being leaked.

Fortunately, these two assassins at the Returning Origin Realm didn't know much, so even if they were captured alive by the Northern King, it would be in vain, as it would be difficult to extract any valuable information from them.

……

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bai Xiaowei and Xie Yiming have already learned the news.

“You can return to the southern region now; the north no longer needs you,” Bai Xiaowei said.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yiming initially didn't take it seriously, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood.

"Your Excellency's reaction is swift, thank you for the reminder," Xie Yiming said, rising and bowing.

Bai Xiaowei smiled without saying a word, and Xie Yiming instantly crossed the void and left this place.

If someone in the Northern Prince's Mansion is plotting against the Northern Seven Arts, then naturally someone in the Southern region will be plotting against the Southern Five Arts.

Fortunately, the Hengchang Sect, where Yuwen Jun resided, was not far from the south.

Yuwen Jun could detect the slightest unusual movement immediately.

However, in Bai Xiaowei's estimation, those old guys in the south, even if they wanted to harm the younger generation, didn't yet have the guts to do so.

Once it is confirmed that a member of the Purple Gold Alliance has fallen into His Majesty's hands, all the dishonest and restless people will at least behave themselves for a while.

"There should still be one Lingxiao expert who hasn't been captured," Bai Xiaowei muttered to himself.

If that person deliberately concealed their tracks, Bai Xiaowei could do nothing but let them leave.

Moreover, even if the person is found, Bai Xiaowei will be helpless because the person did not actually carry out the assassination and there is no evidence of the crime, so there is no way to convict him.

……

The following day, in the morning, Hengchangzong.

Inside Wenhua Garden, a strange woman entered the library, making Mr. Feng Yuanqiu, the owner of Wenhua Garden, feel slightly uncomfortable.

In Feng Yuanqiu's memory, there had never been such a graceful and elegant woman in Wenhua Garden.

Although he appeared to be a guest, his demeanor was incredibly noble, as if he were the host.

What surprised Feng Yuanqiu even more was that this woman had been quietly reading in the library, eagerly and voraciously devouring profound and complex knowledge.

Moreover, Feng Yuanqiu didn't know when this woman had arrived.

As they wondered what was happening, the courtyard gate opened, and Yuwen Jun walked in slowly, carrying a cup of freshly brewed Longquan water. The aroma of the tea could be smelled from afar.

Upon seeing Yuwen Jun arrive, Feng Yuanqiu quickly stood up to greet him, but Yuwen Jun waved his hand.

“Sir, there’s no need for such formalities,” Yuwen Jun gently reminded him.

Feng Yuanqiu gave a perfunctory bow, quickly tidied the tea table, and made room for Yuwen Jun in a rattan chair. After Yuwen Jun sat down, he glanced at Feng Yuanqiu with interest, then out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the Demon Queen in the library and said softly, "That person is my friend. Do you think that person has a high talent for reading?"

Yuwen Jun was simply curious.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuanqiu replied in a serious tone, "I don't know when she arrived here, but judging from her demeanor, she must have grasped the essence of the book. However, whether she can apply what she has learned in the future is another matter."

"Its posture is serene and flawless, like the bright sun in the valley."

Yuwen Jun almost laughed out loud, but he did not intend to tell Feng Yuanqiu Guangli's true identity. Such an old gentleman should focus on his studies and not let social interactions and busy political affairs disturb his inner peace.

Come to think of it, Yuwen Jun hasn't read a book properly in a long time.

Occasionally, when I feel like reading, I can indeed have a sudden enlightenment, a moment of profound understanding, and then I can't stop reading.

But clearly, Yuwen Jun was not in the mood for such things at the moment.

As long as Guangli is in the mood, that's fine. As his most important ally, Yuwen Jun naturally hopes that Guangli's knowledge and cultivation will reach a higher level.

Feng Yuanqiu did not inquire about the background of the woman with extraordinary bearing, nor did he ask about the specific relationship between Yuwen Jun and Guangli. He simply felt that anyone who could walk with Yuwen Jun must be an exceptional person.

In fact, Feng Yuanqiu could offer Guangli some guidance on reading alone.

But the growth of a monarch is always a lonely one, and the same book can be interpreted differently by different people.

"She might come here to study often in the future, so don't be surprised," Yuwen Jun said with a gentle smile.

Feng Yuanqiu nodded.

Suddenly, Yuwen Jun's heart skipped a beat, and a wild glint flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously glanced at Guangli in the library.

The latter also keenly sensed that Yuwen Jun's aura was quite imposing, so he quickly put down the book in his hand and came to the tea table in an instant.

"This is Elder Feng Yuanqiu, a master craftsman of my Hengchang Sect," Yuwen Jun solemnly introduced to Guangli.

Upon hearing this, Guangli subconsciously bowed to Feng Yuanqiu and said, "Greetings, sir."

Although the Queen of the Demon Realm was of noble status, she also understood a principle: those who truly understand knowledge deserve respect at all times.

Feng Yuanqiu also rose somewhat hastily to return the greeting.

Yuwen Jun immediately stood up and said to Feng Yuanqiu, "We have other matters to attend to and must take our leave first."

Feng Yuanqiu bowed and took his leave. By the time the old man looked up, the couple in front of him had already vanished.

Yuxi Town.

The Dragon Clan's Secret Realm, above the Abyss Sea, lies the Mountain of Bright Souls.

"I didn't expect to get results from the interrogation so quickly. At least we've found a way in," Yuwen Jun said with a grin.

Guangli was very curious about how Yuwen Jun interrogated the Netherworld Spider, but it was best not to ask questions she shouldn't ask.

"Was there any trouble in the northern territory last night?" Guangli asked subconsciously.

Yuwen Jun replied casually, "These are just minor setbacks, not worth our time to think about."

Inside the mountain, the dragon's energy and the laws of the Bright Soul resonated with each other, forming a magnificent sea of ​​runes.

At the end, a gigantic Netherworld Spider was pinned to the rock wall, its life force constantly draining away. It was estimated that in about three more days, this Netherworld Spider would return to the heavens.

However, Yuwen Jun naturally did not want the spider to die, and smiled at Guangli, saying, "This beast is extremely weak now. Take this opportunity to plant a Netherworld Contract in it, and you will gain an unparalleled general who can conquer cities and seize strongholds."
