Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

The guards took the order and left, with a determined light flashing in Prince Chen's eyes.

He knew that the return of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang was a huge threat to his plan.

He must eliminate them as soon as possible, otherwise when the empress returns, how can he take over and inherit the throne?

Prince Chen paced back and forth in the palace, feeling anxious. He knew the abilities of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang very well, and once they took control of the situation, his ambitions would be shattered.

"Someone come!" King Chen shouted again. A group of counselors and generals came hurriedly.

"Now that Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang are in the palace, they will definitely try to stop my plan. Do you have any good ideas?" King Chen asked anxiously.

The counselors looked at each other, unable to think of any good solution. At this time, a general stood up.

"Your Highness, our only option now is to take the initiative. We can gather our forces and encircle and suppress them," said the general.

Prince Chen frowned, "Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang are very powerful. If we attack them rashly, we will probably suffer heavy losses. Besides, if we do this, the news will definitely leak out!"

"Your Highness, we can leak their information. There are too many people who want to kill these two people. As long as the formation of Shenjing City is still under control, then there will be no worries!" The strategist continued.

The guards took the order and left, with a determined light flashing in Prince Chen's eyes.

He knew that the return of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang was a huge threat to his plan.

He must eliminate them as soon as possible to ensure that his position is not shaken.

At the same time, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were also busy making arrangements in the mansion.

They knew that time was running out and they had to act quickly.

They sent out their trusted men to secretly gather information from within the palace, while at the same time preparing a plan to master the Shenjing formation.

As night fell, the streets of the capital gradually became quiet.

However, in the dark, a silent battle is quietly unfolding.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's trusted subordinates shuttled through the night, passing on information and setting traps.

Prince Chen was not idle either. He mobilized the Yunxiao Cavalry to conduct a carpet search in the capital.

He knew very well that Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were not easy to deal with, and he had to go all out.

However, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang seemed to have disappeared, and no matter how hard King Chen searched, he could not find any trace of them.

This made King Chen very anxious. He knew that every moment of delay would give Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang more preparation, and his chances of winning would decrease.

Just when King Chen was extremely anxious, an unexpected news came.

Someone discovered Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's hiding place, which was the ancient house where they were before.

Prince Chen was overjoyed and immediately led the Yun Xiaoqi to the house.

He understood that this was a great opportunity to capture Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, and he must not miss it.

However, when he led the Yun Xiaoqi to the mansion, he found that it was deserted.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang seemed to have learned the news in advance and had already fled from there.

Prince Chen was furious. He realized that he had fallen into Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's trap again.

He punched the wall hard and roared, "Fang Yue, Zhu Linlang, I will never let you go!"

King Chen's roar echoed in the empty house, but received no response. He knew that his battle with Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang had just begun, and would become more and more intense.

After King Chen calmed down, he began to redeploy his forces. He ordered the Yun Xiaoqi to strengthen the blockade of all the important roads in the capital, and at the same time intensified the search, not letting go of any possible clues.

At this time, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were hiding in a secluded place, observing King Chen's actions. They knew that King Chen would not give up, and they had to come up with a more effective countermeasure.

"King Chen is now enraged. He will definitely hunt us down by any means necessary." Zhu Linlang said worriedly.

Fang Yue frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "We can't just keep dodging passively, we must take the initiative to attack. Since King Chen wants to control the Shenjing formation, we should start with the formation and disrupt his plan."

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement: "But if the grand ceremony is not held, even I can't control the divine formation now!"

Fang Yue fell into deep thought after hearing what Zhu Linlang said. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "Perhaps we can find a way to create an illusion and make King Chen mistakenly think that we have begun to prepare for the grand sacrifice, thereby disrupting his deployment."

Zhu Linlang nodded slightly: "That's a solution, but how do we create this illusion?"

Fang Yue thought for a moment and said, "We can use some mysterious rituals and props to spread some rumors about the upcoming grand sacrifice in the city. At the same time, let our trusted subordinates carry out some seemingly mysterious activities in some key locations to attract the attention of King Chen."

Zhu Linlang nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. But we have to be careful, King Chen may not be easily fooled."

So, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang began to carefully plan this illusion.

They prepared various mysterious props, such as ancient runes, mysterious incense burners, etc., and asked their trusted subordinates to perform mysterious rituals at some important locations in the city.

Soon, rumors about the upcoming grand sacrifice spread throughout the capital. When King Chen heard the news, he fell into deep thought.

He was not sure whether Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were really prepared to hold a grand sacrifice, but he did not dare to take the risk.

King Chen roared in the palace, his patience had reached its limit. He knew very well that if he could not stop Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang in time, his plan would be completely thwarted.

The guard rushed over, looking pale, obviously not bringing good news. "Your Highness, our people have tried their best, but...but Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and we can't find any trace of them at all."

King Chen was furious and punched the table, causing the tea sets on the table to scatter. "Waste! All waste! What's the point of keeping you!" He roared, his voice echoing in the palace.

However, anger could not solve the problem. King Chen knew that he had to calm down and rethink his countermeasures. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his anger.

When he opened his eyes again, they had regained their calmness and determination. "Pass the order down, strengthen the capital's security, and don't let any suspicious people go. At the same time, send people to secretly monitor places that may be related to the grand sacrifice, and report to me immediately if you find any trace of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang."

The guards took the order and left. King Chen sat in front of the table and began to carefully study the map of the capital and the deployment of troops. He knew that this contest had just begun, and he had to go all out to ensure his victory. At the same time, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were also observing King Chen's actions in the dark. They knew that King Chen would not give up looking for them easily, so they had to be more cautious.

"It seems that our plan has worked. King Chen has indeed begun to doubt whether we are ready to hold the grand sacrifice." Zhu Linlang said softly.

Fang Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, but this is only the first step. We must continue to create illusions to confuse King Chen even more. At the same time, we must speed up the preparations for the grand sacrifice and strive to master the Shenjing formation before King Chen reacts."

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement. "Okay, I will have our trusted subordinates continue to spread rumors and create more mysterious activities. At the same time, I will speed up the preparations for the grand festival."

Thus, a silent contest quietly unfolded in the capital.

In the capital city, everyone has set up a complicated chess game. In addition to the three main forces of King Chen, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, there are several other forces in the Wei Dynasty that are also watching secretly and waiting for an opportunity to act.

One force comes from the royal family. Although they appear to be unhelpful on the surface, they actually have ulterior motives and hope to take advantage of the current chaotic situation to regain the royal power.

They secretly colluded with some generals and counselors, preparing to deal a fatal blow to King Chen at a critical moment, or to kill Zhu Linlang and curry favor with King Chen.

Under the undercurrent of the capital, in addition to the restlessness of the royal family, there is also a force that cannot be ignored that is quietly laying out its plans, that is, some secret sects and underworld forces in the Wei Dynasty.

They may not show their true colors on a normal day, but in this turbulent time, they begin to seek their own interests.

Among them, a secret sect called "Yuming Pavilion" is particularly active.

They are good at spying and covert operations, and are well aware of any movement in the palace.

The leader of Netherworld Pavilion, a mysterious figure.

This time, they decided to take advantage of this grudge, intervene in the chaotic situation in the capital, and seek benefits.

The disciples of the Netherworld Pavilion began to act in secret. On the one hand, they secretly monitored King Chen's every move, and on the other hand, they tried to find Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

Their purpose is clear, which is to gain the greatest benefit from this chaos, whether it is power or wealth.

At the same time, some underworld forces in the capital began to stir.

Among them are knights with superb martial arts, strange people who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and masters who are good at medicine and poison.

Although they each operate independently, they begin to collaborate with each other during this turbulent time, trying to find their own foothold in this chaos.

As the capital city was in turmoil, these secret sects and underworld forces gradually realized that they might be able to reap some benefits by acting alone, but in this chaotic situation, if they wanted to truly gain a foothold, they had to find a powerful ally. As the most powerful party in the capital city, King Chen naturally became the best choice in their eyes.

The head of the Netherworld Pavilion, a mysterious figure, began to contact King Chen secretly. He proposed that the Netherworld Pavilion was willing to provide intelligence support to King Chen to help him eliminate Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, and at the same time asked King Chen to give the Netherworld Pavilion a certain status and power in the capital after the success.

After hearing this, King Chen's eyes flashed with a gleam. He knew that cooperating with the Netherworld Pavilion would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength. So, he readily agreed to the Netherworld Pavilion's request and decided to jointly deal with Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

At the same time, other underworld forces in the capital also showed their goodwill to King Chen. They expressed to King Chen, either explicitly or implicitly, that they were willing to work for him and fight against Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang together. King Chen gladly accepted their surrender and gave them certain power and status in exchange for their loyalty and support.

With the addition of these secret sects and underworld forces, King Chen's strength increased greatly. He began to hunt Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang more recklessly, while stepping up preparations for the plan to control the Shenjing formation.

However, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were no ordinary people. They were keenly aware of the collusion between King Chen and these secret sects and underworld forces, and began to take measures to deal with it.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang knew very well that they must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise they would be put in an extremely passive situation in the face of King Chen's powerful forces.

"Now that King Chen has the support of these underworld forces, we have to advance our plan." Fang Yue frowned, thinking about countermeasures.

Zhu Linlang nodded slightly: "Indeed, we can no longer prepare for the grand ceremony step by step, we must start it as soon as possible."

Fang Yue said with a firm look in his eyes: "But holding a grand ceremony hastily is extremely risky, and we must be fully prepared. First, we must ensure that there are no mistakes in the key links of the ceremony, and we must also guard against King Chen's sabotage at the critical moment."

"That's right. When truth is used to deceive, truth also becomes false. Only in this way will King Chen fall into the trap!"

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement: "You are right, we must make King Chen believe that we are really preparing for the grand sacrifice. In this way, he will focus his attention on this aspect, and we can use this opportunity to secretly arrange and master the Shenjing formation."

Fang Yue smiled slightly: "That's right. We can use some Jianghu magicians to create some seemingly mysterious rituals, and at the same time spread rumors in the city that we have found the key to controlling the Shenjing formation. In this way, King Chen will definitely send people to find out the truth, and we can take the opportunity to set a trap."

Zhu Linlang's eyes gleamed, "Good idea! We can also find some experts who are good at disguise, have them pretend to be us, and perform some seemingly mysterious rituals at key locations. In this way, even if King Chen sends people to investigate, they won't be able to find any trace of us."

Fang Yue nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must make King Chen fall into the fog and be unable to judge our true intentions. At the same time, we must speed up the preparations for the grand sacrifice and strive to master the Shenjing formation in one fell swoop before King Chen reacts."

So Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang began to make arrangements intensively.

On the one hand, they used quacks and masters of disguise to create illusions, and on the other hand, they accelerated the pace of preparations for the grand sacrifice.

Under their careful planning, rumors that a seemingly mysterious grand festival was about to be held spread widely in the capital.

After hearing the news, King Chen sent a large number of people to find out the truth.

However, whenever King Chen's men approached Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang's hiding place, they would always discover some seemingly mysterious rituals and props, but could never find any trace of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

This made King Chen anxious and angry. He realized that he had been tricked by Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang again.

He roared and ordered his men to continue searching and find Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang at all costs.

However, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were like ghosts and were never discovered by King Chen.

They used their own wisdom and the help of underworld forces to cleverly evade King Chen's search.

Finally, the day of the great sacrifice approached.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were fully prepared. They knew that this was their only chance and they had to succeed in one fell swoop.

On the night before the grand ceremony, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang secretly came to the venue of the ceremony.

They checked every step to make sure there were no mistakes, and then they waited for the ceremony to officially begin.

However, just as the grand ceremony was about to begin, an unexpected news came. (End of this chapter)
