Chapter 528 The Deal Between Master Kong and Crown Prince Yuanqing
"so close!"

A disheveled figure suddenly appeared in the void, some distance from Qingqiu Mountain.

It was the other mastermind behind the previous siege, Crown Prince Yuanqing!

At this moment, he was covered in blood and grime, his breath was weak, and he looked extremely disheveled. He no longer resembled the high and mighty crown prince at all, but rather a deserter who had fled in panic.

After Su Ling and the others died, he knew things were hopeless and fled in advance. Although he escaped, he left behind a thought to observe them secretly.

They had hoped to take advantage of the Buddha and the Demon Lord's success, but they never dreamed that even with so many experts summoned to disrupt the Heavenly Decree of Destiny, they couldn't kill the opponent, and instead, the opponent became stronger and stronger!

In one battle, he annihilated over fifty peak-level Ninth Stage Life Sea cultivators and more than ten Bodhisattvas...

Not to mention him, even his father, the renowned Emperor Fusheng, had never accomplished this!
It's absolutely terrifying!

"If I had known this guy would grow to this level, I wouldn't have offended him..."

Yuan Qing's face was ashen, his eyes filled with rage.

If the Eternal Heart had been his own, perhaps he would already possess such power that he would no longer fear even his father.

Unfortunately, there's no going back on anything; at this point, he was just a loser.

"No, if I stay here, Zhang Xuan will definitely come and kill me! If I return to the Tianli Empire, the court officials will surely skin me alive..."

Crown Prince Yuanqing's expression shifted between light and dark.

He knew very well how much Zhang Xuan wanted to kill him. If he didn't escape quickly, he would be caught sooner or later. Without the Little Jade Seal, the Mountain and River Token, Su Ling, Yuan Hao... at this moment, he was just a nobody who had just stepped into the Bodhisattva Realm, and he couldn't withstand a single move from the other party.

Given the current situation, returning to the Tianli Empire would also result in severe punishment.

Putting aside his personal reasons for losing so many experts for no reason, just considering those treasures alone, even killing him wouldn't be enough to replenish them.

"Run away, as far away as possible..."

Crown Prince Yuanqing looked in the direction of the Tianli Empire, a deep sense of longing in his eyes.

At this point, he can forget about becoming the crown prince. He's lucky to have survived. Even if he wants revenge, he'll probably have to wait until he breaks through to the next level before considering it.

When he broke through, his opponent would definitely become even more terrifying. In other words, after this battle, he fully understood that all possibilities of killing Zhang Xuan were now gone.

The only option now is to flee the Tianli Empire, escape all the centers of trouble, live in anonymity, and try to live a peaceful life.

Although I was very unwilling, it was the best choice.

"Let's go!"

He shook his head, stopped thinking about anything else, reached out and tore through space, then crawled inside.

hum!
Just then, the torn space automatically healed, squeezing him out.

"Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence!"

Just then, a faint voice came from the depths of the void.

"You are……"

The crown prince hurriedly turned his head and saw a tall figure suddenly appear not far away, dressed in a long robe, with polite manners and an exceptionally refined appearance.

"Kong Shiming? You... what are you doing here?"

Yuan Qing's pupils contracted.

It was none other than Kong Shiming, Zhang Xuan's close friend!
However, after being captured by him, he betrayed him and sought refuge with his father, the emperor. He never expected to appear here now.

"Of course we've come to take His Highness back!"

Master Kong smiled faintly.

"I won't go back..."

Crown Prince Yuanqing shook his head: "Even if you have inherited the Mandate of Heaven for Propriety, it won't be that easy for you to stop me!" The other party's talent is no less than that of the monstrous genius Zhang Xuan, but even so, a second-level Mandate of Heaven is still a second-level Mandate of Heaven. In addition, he has not experienced a life-or-death crisis, so his cultivation level should not be as good as his.

"It's not so easy for me to stop you, but... what if Your Highness were to come with me on your own initiative?"

Master Confucius, look over here.

"Oh?" Crown Prince Yuanqing frowned: "Willingly go to your death with you?"

Master Kong shook his head: "Of course not! Given Your Highness's current situation, if you return to the Tianli Empire, you will inevitably be targeted by the court officials, and your life will be worse than death. If you don't return, you will have to live in anonymity and constantly evade the pursuit of Zhang Xuan and the Tianli Empire... I have a way to help Your Highness reverse the current situation."

"Turning the tide? Are you sure?"

Crown Prince Yuanqing could not believe it.

Putting aside the question of whether the other party's relationship with Zhang Xuan was a genuine or feigned break, there are many suspicious points surrounding the fact that he took the initiative to help him.

After all, not only was he not related to him, but he had also captured him and almost tortured him to death. If a cultivator could forgive even this, what kind of immortality would he be cultivating, or what kind of heaven would he be defying?

"nature!"

Master Kong nodded and said, "If we do it well, we can not only avoid being attacked by the ministers, but we may also be able to kill Zhang Xuan and achieve the supreme position."

Why are you helping me?

Crown Prince Yuanqing did not listen to his explanation, but stared straight at him.

He didn't believe anyone would take the initiative to make amends; the key was that they were his enemies.

"This Zhang Xuan, we cultivated and grew together, so why is it that he can obtain such an opportunity and become as powerful as Buddha, while I can only obediently become someone else's pawn and cannot resist!"

Confucius looked over and said, "If I help you succeed, I hope you can help me establish Confucianism and restore the order between teachers and students in the world. I also want to... comprehend the first level of destiny."

"This……"

Crown Prince Yuanqing stared intently, as if trying to see through the other's heart, but unfortunately, he only saw a pair of indifferent eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"I've felt that way too—afraid that my brothers will suffer, and also afraid that they'll become stronger than me!"

After a long pause, Crown Prince Yuanqing shook his head: "Alright, I agree!"

Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, he had no other choice, and this was practically the only feasible method.

"Very well, Your Highness, I will have to trouble you. I will capture you, and then you only need to do this and that..."

With a thought, Master Kong conveyed his idea to the other party.

"Great! You can do that? That's fantastic! Hahaha, Zhang Xuan, you're dead meat!"

After listening to Confucius's words, Crown Prince Yuanqing's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Let's go!"

With an expressionless face, Master Kong grabbed a rope that suddenly appeared and enveloped Prince Yuanqing. The next moment, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

Not long after the two disappeared, a figure appeared out of thin air in the same spot, looking around.

It was Zhang Xuan who had left Qingqiu Mountain to chase after them.

"They escaped very quickly!"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

The Buddha and the Demon Lord fled quickly, and he couldn't catch up. However, Prince Yuanqing's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Bodhisattva realm, and he had forcibly improved it with the help of a secret method. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to escape his search at all, but he just disappeared from his perception.

Very few people in this world could carry someone while evading his pursuit; even the Buddha couldn't do it. Who could it be?

Zhang Xuan immediately fell into deep thought.
