Huangxiu

Chapter 12 First meeting
Under the night sky, the streets of Yujing are bustling with people and traffic, and clusters of lanterns are hung high in the streets and alleys, illuminating the entire Yujing city.

The pedestrians carried swords and knives, and they were full of vigor and vitality.

The city guards, dressed in black robes, patrolled the crowd in groups of three.

The sounds of hawking from shops or stalls on both sides are endless, and pedestrians walk together and chat and laugh, enjoying themselves.

Guo Chi and eight other people formed a circle and protected Chu Zhiyuan in the middle.

Chu Zhiyuan strolled leisurely in the garden, activating the Dragon Transformation Art as he walked, trying to complete the first level as quickly as possible and then start the Qi Cleansing Art.

He didn't notice anyone following him and was completely relieved.

It seems that the Zhenwu Division has dealt with the stalker.

It really is worthy of being called Zhenwu Division.

-

Liuyun Tower has three floors in total, with three overlapping gatehouses and three-story flying eaves. It looks magnificent and majestic, with a mighty momentum that reaches into the sky.

From afar you can see it standing in the night sky, brightly lit, with the sounds of stringed instruments and sweet laughter floating out, just like a palace in heaven.

Chu Zhiyuan was wearing a white sable fur coat, a jade pendant on his belt, and a white jade decoration on the top of his hat. He walked calmly, exuding elegance and grace.

When Guo Chi and the other eight people came to Liuyun Tower, four masters from the Zhenwu Division were already waiting there.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe came forward and clasped his fists and asked, "Is it the Fourth Prince?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"The chief is waiting for you, please come in, Prince." The middle-aged man in gray robe bowed and led the way.

Zou Fang stepped forward.

In order to conceal his identity, he did not carry the white jade whisk. He wore a blue robe, had a fair face and no beard, and looked like a wealthy man.

Chu Zhiyuan followed, with Feng Xi protecting him from behind.

Guo Chi did not move and hid in the dark with eight palace guards.

Chu Zhiyuan walked up the stairs slowly. He had already seen the situation of the entire Liuyun Tower. He saw everyone clearly and felt everyone.

Attention quickly focused on a room on the third floor.

The window of the room on the third floor faces the street outside, and half of the entire Fenghuang Street can be seen.

A handsome middle-aged man sat upright in the armchair near the window, glancing over the file in his hand with a serious face.

He was wearing a sky blue robe, holding a snow-white sword, and his entire body was spotless.

He sits upright like a pine tree, with thin eyebrows and bright eyes. When his eyes open and close, the light flashes as if it were real, and he has a terrifying aura.

In Chu Zhiyuan's eyes, in the void three feet above his head, there was a white crane standing on one leg. Its body was pure white, with a tall red crown and a long beak like a sword.

The white crane flapped its wings from time to time, as if it was about to fly away at any time.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

This master should be Jiang Qiuge.

Four middle-aged men in black robes were guarding the stairs to the third floor. They looked solemn and their eyes like cold lightning swept over Chu Zhiyuan and the other two.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: Four more masters, this Chief Jiang is so arrogant.

This is the power of power, so fascinating.

The third floor is filled with elegant single rooms with excellent sound insulation. Once the door is closed, outsiders cannot see inside or hear any movement inside.

The middle-aged man in gray robe led him to the outside of a house.

A young girl in green stood at the door. She had a pretty face and a graceful figure like a willow branch in the gentle breeze. Although she was standing still, she seemed to be swaying gently.

The middle-aged man in gray robe clasped his fists and said, "Miss Huang."

The girl in green nodded gently, bowed to Chu Zhiyuan, and said softly: "My lord, the chief has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and waved to Zou Fang and Feng Xi.

He was surprised that the girl in green in front of him was about the same age as him, but she had already achieved innate perfection.

I have super senses and the miraculous skills of Mingwu Palace. Could it be that this girl in green also has some special skills that can help speed up my cultivation?
The world is so big that it is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

I originally thought that Jiang Qiuge was strong enough, but now it seems that in terms of cultivation talent, this girl in green is probably three times stronger.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the house.

The handsome middle-aged man put down the file, stood up, clasped his fists and smiled: "I am sorry for not welcoming you in person, please don't blame me, Fourth Prince."

"Master Jiang, you're welcome." Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists.

Both of them were smiling, but they each found that the other's eyes were calm, as if they were quietly observing and examining themselves.

"Please come in, Prince." Jiang Qiuge stretched out his hand.

The two of them sat down, and Chu Zhiyuan sat in the armchair opposite the round table.

The sandalwood round table can accommodate more than a dozen people sitting around it, and two people are quite far apart.

The girl in green brought the teacup and stood aside to serve. After the two sat down, they exchanged a few pleasantries.

Jiang Qiuge's face was full of smiles, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze, without any arrogance at all.

Chu Zhiyuan was also gentle and calm, and did not put on airs as a prince.

The atmosphere in the house was harmonious, and the host and guests were chatting happily and having a great time.

After a while, Chu Zhiyuan took a sip of the teacup, put it down, and looked at Jiang Qiuge seriously: "Master Jiang, have you caught those sneaky guys?"

Jiang Qiuge said solemnly: "Your Highness has helped a lot this time. I have submitted a petition to the Audit Department to request credit."

"Who are they?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This is also the reason why we asked the Zhenwu Division for help.

The Zhenwu Division is extremely strict and fair in terms of merit. Other aspects can be perfunctory and confusing, but merit is never vague.

This is not the case with the Zongzhengsi.

Jiang Qiuge asked solemnly: "Have you ever heard of the Yuding Sect, my lord?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

"These are the evil followers of the Yuding Sect. How did the prince find them?"

"My cultivation is not strong, but my senses are more sensitive than those of ordinary people. It's a kind of mysterious induction."

"This is a rare talent. With this talent, the prince will be safe."

"In front of cultivation, it's not worth mentioning." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said in a deep voice: "Who exactly is the Yuding Sect?"

"The Yuding Sect is a top evil sect with a great master. It was originally wiped out by the Zhenwu Division in collaboration with the four major sects and six major schools. I didn't expect it to revive thirty years later!"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

It happened thirty years ago, when I was not even born yet.

But since it is an evil sect, it is indeed troublesome.

The evil sect is different from the demon sect.

The so-called Demonic Sect is similar to the Yaoyue Palace and the Wuyou Sect. They act in a way that is both good and evil. Their skills lead to impulsive temperaments, and they have committed crimes, but they rarely involve human lives.

The evil sect is completely different.

He had heard Zou Fang mention it before.

These evil sects are truly and thoroughly anti-human.

What they did was so cruel and bloody that ordinary people could not imagine it. It would not be a pity if they died a thousand times.

The evil of the evil sect also originates from its martial arts.

After practicing this kind of skills, one will naturally become cold, numb and cruel, slowly lose his humanity and regard human life as worthless.

And the Yuding Sect was able to survive the joint crackdown and even resurge, which shows that it is extremely cunning and powerful.

It's really troublesome to be targeted by such an evil sect.

Even with the protection of three masters, he couldn't feel safe.

Thinking of this, his face darkened.

Jiang Qiuge seemed to see through Chu Zhiyuan's worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, we have already caught them all."

"After we wiped out this nest, there must be other nests, right? I'm afraid it won't be that easy to wipe them out....Why are they following me?"

Jiang Qiuge's face darkened, and he said slowly: "We want to kill the prince."

"Revenge?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Revenge for the crackdown?

"Why did the imperial court personally join forces with other major sects to wipe out the Yuding Sect? It wasn't just because the Yuding Sect was an evil sect."

"Is there any other reason?"

"The Yuding Sect has a technique called Swallowing the Dragon to Ascension, which is a magical technique to break through barriers. It is said that swallowing the essence and blood of ten royal disciples can break through the barrier between the innate and the master, and swallowing the essence and blood of one hundred royal disciples can break through the barrier between the master and the great master."

"Hahaha!" Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

This is truly the greatest absurdity in the world.

He has now read a large number of martial arts notes from grandmasters and masters, and has a deeper and broader understanding of martial arts.

We have a deep understanding of the three major levels of the four realms. We cannot use external force to break through the levels. The innate level and the grandmaster level are invisible and tangible, and cannot be reached by external force. The grandmaster level is invisible and intangible, and there is no way to break through it.

This Dragon Swallowing Ascension Art can break through the Grandmaster level, but it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not. It is definitely a lie to say that it can break through the Grandmaster level.

Such absurd words can only deceive ignorant people.
