Chapter 605 Sixteenth Prince's Residence
After Li Xuan came out of Ci'en Temple, he went to Hu Yulou on the way.

It is not evening yet, and the girls in Hu Yulou have just gotten up and are dressing up, preparing to welcome guests later.

Li Xuan sensed it and found that Hu Yulou was the same as usual, and there was nothing unusual.

Come to think of it. He only informed Aimu about the Western Region Fire Demon late last night. It would take at least a few days for the Holy Fire Cult headquarters to respond.

After Li Xuan confirmed that there was no other situation with Hu Yulou, he began to search the city to see if he could find any clues.

Li Xuan has already memorized the breath of the Western Region Fire Demon. If it appears nearby, Li Xuan will definitely be able to sense it.

Naturally, he first went to Prince Zheng's Mansion, where he was most likely to find the Western Region Fire Demon.

Zhengwang Mansion is located in the northeast of the capital. Next to the city wall, there is a special market called Sixteen Princes' Residence.

Just by listening to the name of this market, you can know who lives here.

The residences of the Sixteen Kings are located in the northeast corner of the capital, facing Xingningfang to the south and Changlefang to the west. Close to the outer city walls on the northeastern sides, there is a large area of ​​magnificent houses with winding halls and towers with eaves connected to each other, forming a complete neighborhood on its own.

According to the custom of the Daxing Dynasty, except for the royal heir who was named the crown prince and moved into the Eastern Palace, almost all other royal heirs lived here after they came of age.

If nothing unexpected happens to the eldest prince, he should move out of the palace next year and become a neighbor of Prince Zheng.

Since the reign of the Two Saint Emperors, the princes have never left the palace unless they were ordered to leave the city or lead an external post in times of crisis.

Although their houses are not in the same place, they are close together, so everyone can visit each other without leaving the neighborhood.

The royal princesses have an additional option to get married. If they do not choose to get married, they can continue to live in the palace, or they can set up a princess's mansion in the Sixteen Princes' Residence like other princes.

But it is not easy for a princess to set up her own household. Even if she stays in the palace as an old princess, she has to look at the faces of her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen. Most of them are arranged to marry and become the bond to win over the wealthy families.

However, the sixteen princes’ residences are now filled with negative energy. Except for Prince Zheng’s residence, the others are princesses’ residences.

The last time the imperial power changed hands, there was a bloody storm, and all the princes' palaces in the sixteen princes' residences were swept away, leaving only the Zheng Prince's Palace.

Even some princesses' mansions were implicated, so the sixteen princes' mansions are now very empty, waiting for new adult princes to come out and open their own mansions to add some popularity.

Li Xuan came to the Sixteenth Prince's House and found a high place to overlook this special market.

This place is different from other markets. There are no functional buildings or shops here, only the prince's palace and the princess's palace.

But the security here may be the most stringent place in the capital except for the imperial city.

“There are quite a few people.”

Li Xuan frowned slightly.

Although there are not many princely and princessly palaces in the Sixteen Princes' Mansions now, the guards and servants who serve these nobles make the population here quite dense.

"I wonder what this place looked like during its heyday?"

Thinking so, Li Xuan went downstairs to look for the address of Prince Zheng's Mansion.

After searching for a while, he soon found Prince Zheng's Palace.

But compared to what Li Xuan had expected, the guards here were much more lax.

There were only two servants guarding the door, and they were not guards with extraordinary skills.

Looking at the two servants yawning lazily at the door, Li Xuan felt that something was wrong with Prince Zheng's Mansion.

He originally thought that the Zheng Palace was full of experts, but he didn't find out anything from outside.

Li Xuan thought that perhaps the Prince Zheng's Mansion had some special shielding method, perhaps some kind of formation or something like that.

He carefully climbed up the wall of Prince Zheng's Mansion and walked around. He found that this place was actually quite normal. The guards who were guarding the house were of mediocre strength, at most of the third rank.

This is far different from what Li Xuan had imagined the Prince Zheng's Mansion to be.

"what happened?"

"Am I in the wrong place?"

He went to the front door again and confirmed the plaque hanging there several times, and found that it was indeed Prince Zheng's Palace.

"It's fake, it must be fake!"

Li Xuan saw that most of the people in Prince Zheng's Mansion were ordinary people, and some even had no cultivation, so he concluded that this was definitely not the real Prince Zheng's Mansion.

At least it is definitely not the base camp where King Zheng often stays.

"I knew this old fox would not be that simple."

Li Xuan cursed a few words, jumped off the wall and left.

In Prince Zheng's mansion, Hongyu, who was wearing luxurious fur coat, heard the cat's meow. She looked up curiously, but saw nothing.

"Strange, why are there still wild cats running around outside in the middle of winter?"

Hongyu was staring at the wall in a daze when a voice called out from the side:
"Miss Hongyu, what are you thinking about?"

"We haven't finished settling our accounts yet."

"The government is short of money. How should we prepare the red envelopes for the New Year? It will not work as it did in previous years."

An old man who looked like a butler was chattering next to Hongyu.

These words made Hongyu blush. The Zheng Palace was in financial difficulties and she bore the main responsibility.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be in a hurry."

"I'll think of a way, a way..."

Hongyu said this, thinking that she must find a way to make up for the New Year's red envelope, otherwise how would she celebrate the New Year.

Li Xuan was in a hurry to leave, so he naturally didn't notice one of the biggest victims of Jinpeng Dynasty antiques.

He wandered around the city for a while today, and before he knew it, it was already evening.

Li Xuan looked at the time and decided to go to Hu Yulou for a meal and ask Aimu how many days it would take to receive a reply from the Holy Fire Cult.

But when he arrived outside Aimu's room, he found someone talking inside.

One of them was Aimu, and Li Xuan had also seen the other one.

"Hey, isn't this the flamboyant Holy Fire Cult elder?"

"I remember his name was Xie Qingmo."

Li Xuan still has an impression of this person.

The main reason is that Xie Qingmo is really handsome. Although he is a mature uncle, he still keeps up with the trend and has dyed his hair conspicuously white. His pair of green eyes are also very eye-catching.

Now is the time when Hu Yulou is busy with business, but as the house's courtesan, Aimu is talking about something with Xie Qingmo at this time.

"Ayimu, is the news about the Fire Demon in the Western Region reliable?" Xie Qingmo asked with a frown.

"Of course it is reliable. This is the news brought by Lord Xuan." Aimu answered seriously.

Xie Qingmo rubbed his temples with a headache, and then asked:

"Besides the cat, are there any other clues? You can't just believe what someone says without any evidence, right?"

"And what if the cat was playing a joke on you?"

"You directly sent the news back to the headquarters without my consent. Do you know how much of a stir it would cause?"

"Especially your uncle's reaction, I can't even imagine it!"

"If she gets here and finds out the news is wrong, what will you do then?"

"If that old woman goes crazy, I'm afraid even your master won't be able to stop her!"

Xie Qingmo said with a look of disappointment.

It can be heard that Xie Qingmo seems to be very afraid of Aimu's uncle-master, the former saint who was betrayed by the Fire Demon of the Western Regions.

Xie Qingmo was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pan, but Aimu was not in a hurry.

"Impossible, Master Xuan would never lie to me."

"Besides, if Master Xuan was really joking with me, it was to make me happy." At this point, Aimu couldn't help but blush, covering her cheeks with her hands, looking shy.

"If Master Xuan has this heart, I will not regret dying."

Xie Qingmo rolled his eyes weakly and felt a throbbing pain in his head.

He held his forehead and said in agony, "It's ok that your uncle is obsessed with men, but how can you be obsessed with a cat?"

"Who would have thought that with your character, you are now the most powerful candidate for the Saint in my sect."

"It really is God's will to destroy our Holy Fire Sect!"

Xie Qingmo felt a sense of despair.

For such a big matter, Aimu sent the message directly to the headquarters without going through him.

If anything happened later, even he wouldn't be able to clean up the mess for Aimu.

Although the former saint had lost her power in the church, her cultivation was still there.

Especially because his mood was damaged by what happened that year, he became moody.

If Aimu's information was wrong, and the old woman went crazy, I'm afraid no one would be able to stop her.

After all, Xie Qingmo himself is the person with the most say in the Holy Fire Cult's branch in Beijing.

If he couldn't stop it, let alone others.

Seeing that Aimu hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, Xie Qingmo felt overwhelmed.

"It seems that Elder Xie doesn't trust me."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the ears of Xie Qingmo and Aimu.

Xie Qingmo immediately recognized that this was a top-notch sound transmission skill and immediately became extremely alert.

Until the sound was heard, he had not noticed anything unusual.

Aimu, who was sitting opposite him, immediately showed joy on her face, looked towards the window happily and said:
"Master Xuan, you are here!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly at Aimu, then turned to look at Xie Qingmo.

Xie Qingmo looked at Li Xuan in shock. He didn't expect that he could now communicate through telepathy.

Looking at that wonderful expression of daze and shock, Li Xuan couldn't help but twist his mouth, revealing one of his fangs.

Such a disdainful yet confident smile immediately woke Xie Qingmo up from his dream.

"Master Holy Beast, long time no see."

Xie Qingmo immediately put on a flattering smile, stood up and saluted Li Xuan.

"Oh, I am a cat and I don't deserve such a great gift from Elder Xie."

Li Xuan said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Xie Qingmo immediately understood that Li Xuan had heard their entire conversation.

"Master Holy Beast, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding."

Li Xuan did not expect that Xie Qingmo, who had been quite respectful to him before, would now turn around and call Li Xuan "the cat" behind his back.

Li Xuan naturally couldn't indulge such a person.

"What's the misunderstanding? Tell me about it."

Li Xuan jumped onto the table without any hesitation, sat down steadily, and asked Xie Qingmo directly.

In an instant, Xie Qingmo felt a huge pressure coming towards him, making him subconsciously hold his breath.

"How can this be!?"

Xie Qingmo himself is a fourth-grade cultivator, but he actually felt powerless when facing Li Xuan.

In fact, Li Xuan also has the same fourth-grade strength, and has just broken through not long ago.

But his true qi is yin-yang true qi, which has an absolute suppressing effect on true qi of all attributes.

Before Li Xuan reached the fourth rank, he could beat all the warriors of the third rank.

Now that he is at the fourth level, it would be easy for him to deal with Xie Qingmo.

Aimu did not notice Li Xuan's pressure, but only saw Xie Qingmo's face turn pale, and even beads of sweat the size of beans slowly dripped down his forehead.

At this moment, Aimu's heart was full of admiration for Li Xuan.

"As expected of Master Xuan!"

When Li Xuan saw that Xie Qingmo's body began to shake slightly, he put away his momentum.

"Today is just a minor punishment. If you continue to be disrespectful, don't blame me for not considering Ayimu's face."

Li Xuan clapped his cat paws, causing Xie Qingmo's heart to skip a beat.

Xie Qingmo suddenly felt all the pressure on his body disappear, and he couldn't help but breathe heavily.

But there was no humiliating resentment in his eyes when he looked at Li Xuan. Instead, there was something very strange, a bit like the way Aimu looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan swallowed his saliva with a "gulp" and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"Master Xuan, I was blind and doubted you. I am so ashamed."

"Ayimu is right. How could the prophesied savior beast be wrong?"

Seeing Xie Qingmo's eyes becoming increasingly fanatical, Li Xuan thought, "Why don't you just call me 'the cat'?"

In the past, Aimu called him Lord Xuan. Although Li Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, he could still accept it.

There were many flowery-robed eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department who addressed Li Xuan in the same way, but the flowery-robed eunuchs' address was just respectful.

But Aimu is different, it contains many different strong emotions including fanaticism, which makes people feel goose bumps when listening to it.

But now Xie Qingmo also began to show such signs, which made Li Xuan so annoyed that the hair on his body almost exploded.

"Elder Xie, please respect yourself!"

Li Xuan raised a cat paw and spoke seriously to Xie Qingmo.

"Yes Yes……"

Although Xie Qingmo nodded repeatedly, the fanaticism in his eyes became more and more intense.

In the past, Li Xuan could write with his tail, and Xie Qingmo was indeed shocked, but he was only shocked by Li Xuan's intelligence.

But now Li Xuan can not only speak, but also possesses the strength to easily overwhelm him.

This kind of growth made Xie Qingmo change from being skeptical to believing.

Seeing the change in Xie Qingmo's attitude, Aimu straightened his body proudly, showing his broad mind, and nodded repeatedly to this elder in the sect, looking very pleased that Xie Qingmo had come to the right path.

"Did Master Xuan have another adventure?"

"Is your current strength so terrifying?"

"Could it be that it has become a divine beast that can sense heaven and earth?"

Xie Qingmo asked a series of questions, and excitedly climbed onto the table with a pair of hands, trying to reach out to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was so scared that he rolled backwards and rolled directly into Aimu's arms. Aimu screamed with joy, then hugged Li Xuan tightly, as if she wanted to protect him from being touched by Xie Qingmo's evil clutches.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you stretch it out again, I'm going to chop off your claws!"

Li Xuan threatened Xie Qingmo by voice transmission, trying to make him regain some sanity.

"Damn it, these people from the Holy Fire Cult are not normal!"
