The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 828: Demon Ke's Death
In the main house in the backyard of the Liang King’s residence.

Princess Liang, still wearing a white skirt, but with a new style that was more refreshing and open, threw a small liquid transparent ball floating on her chest to Zhao Chen and said with a smile:
"Okay, I have sealed him in this small ball, and he is wrapped in the 'water of the Dream Fountain'. If he is not awakened by external forces, he will remain in a beautiful dream."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen nodded, and after taking the ball, he thanked her solemnly: "Thank you for your help, Princess. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to take down this 'Danqing Sword' so easily."

Just half a quarter of an hour ago, when Zhao Chen led Yu Cheng into the backyard of Prince Liang's Mansion, the Princess of Liang, the "Dongxuan" real person, launched a sneak attack on the other party.

The result is predictable. Although Yu Cheng was always on guard, he still had no ability to resist under the suppression of his "fruit position". He could only watch himself being surrounded by a spring of water and shrinking continuously, and then he fell into a dream.

"This is what His Majesty ordered. You don't need to thank me." Princess Liang waved her hand and pointed at the ball. "You can do whatever you want to do to him. He should not be able to communicate with the existence behind him."

"The existence behind it? He just tried to communicate with the existence behind it?" Zhao Chen's heart moved and he asked hurriedly.

If he was communicating with the True Lord "Yuantong", it would be disastrous if the message got out.

"Don't worry, he just had an idea and was pulled into the dream by my Dream Spring. He didn't have time to do anything." Princess Liang smiled and continued, "I won't ask who he is or why you want to deal with him. I just want to remind you that his basic magical power seems to come from the Demon Wood Academy, and it is most likely from the inner courtyard."

"Yaomu Academy"... Did the "Yaomu Academy" intervene in the mess in the capital? But that's right, the "Dream Creek Garden" contains the "armor" that contains the magical power of the "Yaomu Academy" outer courtyard. It seems that the tentacles of the evil spirits have indeed reached out.

What's more, the relationship between the big sects and prominent families in Daxia and Yaomu Academy has always been unclear. They will even try every means to obtain admission places for their outstanding children.

Well, maybe it's just as I guessed before, because Yu Cheng studied in the inner courtyard of Yaomu Academy, so "Yuan Tong" would use his great magical power to erase his memory and identity after converting him, and send him to Liang Wang Mansion for recycling...

After all, for a cultivator with magical powers whose roots come from demons, "conversion" may not be safe, but killing him directly will cause abnormalities in the Yu family's genealogy and alarm the "Dongxuan" elder of the Yu family, which will be detrimental to the actions of the fake "Yu Cheng" who was replaced by "Yuan Tong".

However, Yuan Tong probably didn't expect that he had only asked his men to "activate" part of Yu Cheng's memory and return him to the state of being "saved", but such a big mistake would happen...

How could it be such a coincidence that he was chasing Aunt Shi and those officers into the "Xuannv Palace" and was captured by me who happened to be visiting Qingling?

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, then thanked Princess Liang again, and was about to say goodbye and leave. After all, the time he had agreed to meet with Zhong Ying was very close, and he had to return to the hotel near "Wanbaolou" to meet up.

But at this time, Princess Liang took the initiative to stop him and said, "Are you going to make a big move tonight?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"Although I'm not very good at calculations, now that I've met you, I can still vaguely sense some things... After all, I'm still your Majesty's person and can share your Majesty's status." Princess Liang, also known as the "Jade Rabbit Fairy" Meng Yue'e, briefly explained, then stretched out her hand to summon a carrot-shaped mutton-fat jade, "This contains the power of my prince's attack, I'll give it to you for self-defense.

"Well, don't worry. The prince has never used the magical powers sealed here outside, so we won't be implicated." Zhao Chen did not pretend to be polite for the princess's kindness. He took the "radish" directly and thanked Princess Liang for the third time. Then he left Prince Liang's mansion and rushed to a hotel near "Wanbao Tower".

After carefully bypassing the restrictions inside the hotel and returning to the room he had booked, he found that Zhong Ying was already waiting there.

"I'm doing very well here. Master Zhou Sheng from the Tiangong Pavilion has heard about King Liang's actions through his own channels, as well as the news that the Dark Night Light may exist in the seal of the Kaiming Beast..." Zhong Ying said a few words with great interest, and then found that Zhao Chen looked a little strange, so he quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"Something went wrong on my end..." Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and told Zhong Ying everything that had just happened. At the end, he took out the "radish" given by Princess Liang and sighed, "Don't look at Princess Liang's modesty. She must have foreseen that I would be in danger at night, so she gave me this treasure that has the power to kill Prince Liang."

"But we have to go tonight... otherwise 'Yuantong' may win a great victory..." Zhong Ying said lightly, adding the unfinished meaning of Zhao Chen's words, "It's too late even if we tell the emperor now. The arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

"Secretly, all forces are looking forward to the opening of the third seal, and even the current emperor cannot stop it.

"At most, he will not step into the Yu family's trap in the future... But if that happens, his plan will fail."

Zhao Chen nodded: "I think so too. Telling him now may cause greater changes, which will not be conducive to our obtaining the 'Yaochi Chess'.

"Also, we have to change our plans... After all, we can no longer take the attitude that if we can get it, we will get it, and if we can't get it, it doesn't matter...

"'Yaochi Chess' must not fall into the hands of the Yu family!"

"Oh? How do we change it?" Zhong Ying asked with interest.

"The original plan was for you to take me and hide in the shadow of the white-eyed woman trained by the 'witch' to fish in troubled waters... But now, we must have some say in the action. Following others is too passive.

"So, I plan to disguise myself as 'Danqingjian', the most senior worshiper in the Prince of Liang's Palace, and use his identity to participate in the operation of breaking the seal.

"Although this action of lifting the seal will inevitably attract the existence of 'Dongxuan', due to the special situation of the capital, they are most likely hiding in the dark and will not act easily. Therefore, on the surface, the strength of 'Danqingjian' is among the best, and it may even dominate the process of exploration and cracking." Zhao Chen said after careful consideration.

This was the plan he had come up with on the way back to the hotel. Although it was not perfect, it was still a good plan.

"You have sold the Danqing Sword? Have you obtained all his information?" Zhong Ying did not say anything about the plan, but asked thoughtfully, "What is his fundamental magical power?"

"The 'Demon Tree Life-Severing Sword' in the 'Nine Swords of the Demon Tree' is known as 'the twisted branches cover the sky and block the sun and moon, and one blade cuts off the tree and ends the cycle of reincarnation'!"
