Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Three days later, the Ninth Prince arrived at the Princess's residence.

"Sixth Sister, Father has summoned me back for a meeting."

The chubby boy of yesteryear now looks much more weathered.

The sixth princess, however, remains as beautiful and radiant as ever.

"Please give my regards to my father."

The Sixth Princess looked at the Ninth Prince, no longer showing the same doting affection as before.

This younger brother ultimately became his own adversary.

Whether it was because of Emperor Qian Yuan or because he genuinely wanted to seize his own Qiyuan City, some things, once done, cannot be undone.

Not to mention, she is now a daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

She would ruthlessly chop off anyone who dared to lay a finger on Qiyuan City, which she had painstakingly built up over the past 20 years.

This is the culmination of my 20 years of hard work.

A mega-city of cultivators with over 2000 million inhabitants, built from scratch, from being ravaged by orcs every day to now dominating the center—who could do that?

Let alone her own brother, even if it were her own father trying to take her away, the Sixth Princess would turn against him.

Thinking back to the large-scale, unorganized invasions of the past few years, especially the fact that her female officials had all been replaced, the Sixth Princess felt that if she hadn't been so well-mannered, she probably would have slapped her younger brother to death.

The Tian family's robbery and murder of the Shen family was even more outrageous, considering that their twin children were living in the Prince Consort's residence!

If the Shen family hadn't been powerful enough, wouldn't my two children have been kidnapped and killed?

"Sixth Sister, please forgive me if I have done anything wrong in the past."

After hesitating for a long time, the Ninth Prince finally lowered his head.

"Ninth Brother, there's no need to be so polite. We are siblings."

The Sixth Princess was very polite, as if she hadn't understood what the Ninth Prince was saying.

The Ninth Prince's heart sank. He understood that his Sixth Sister would not forgive him.

He sighed, got up, and took his leave.

If the other party is not prepared to reconcile, there's no point in staying any longer.

The sixth princess did not get up to see her off, but instead had a female official escort her to the door.

The Ninth Prince, accompanied by his entourage, flew towards the teleportation array and looked down from the air.

Within Qiyuan City, towering buildings stood tall, flying boats crisscrossed the landscape, and countless flying swords transformed into streaks of strange light, streaking across the sky.

Yellow and blue unmanned flying swords, carrying takeout orders, constantly shuttle through the streets and alleys.

The driverless Didi Flying Boats welcome passengers and take them to their destinations.

The planning of Qiyuan City was to expand outward step by step. After the initial stronghold was built, it began to expand outward continuously. Every time it doubled in size, a new city wall would be added.

Today, the inner ring road has been largely demolished, transforming it into a series of traffic loops.

On the outer walls of Qiyuan City, powerful cultivators constantly patrolled the surroundings, and dangerous combat artifacts were densely distributed across the entire city wall.

The massive protective array, large enough to cover the entire city, is half-open, maintaining its most basic functions. However, if attacked, this massive protective array will be activated immediately.

Further away lies the vast area of ​​Qiyuan City's massive, long-distance teleportation array and intercity teleportation array.

The teleportation array here never stops, its dazzling light flashing continuously. Countless people pour into Qiyuan City through the teleportation array, while far fewer travel from Qiyuan City to other places.

In short, more people came than left.

Its bustling atmosphere is in no way inferior to that of the capital.

This is the future vision of Qianyuan City in the Ninth Prince's dream.

And now, he has to slink back to Earth in disgrace.

He felt that the past 20 years had been a complete mess.

"Your Highness, it's time to set off."

Seeing the envy in the Ninth Prince's eyes, True Lord Liu Neng carefully offered a reminder.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The Ninth Prince glanced at the bustling Qiyuan City again with a sense of loss, and quickly landed in front of the super-large-scale, ultra-long-distance teleportation array.

Just as the teleportation array was activated, the Ninth Prince suddenly noticed that Liu Neng Zhenjun's eyes lit up.

The Ninth Prince felt somewhat dazed. At that moment, it seemed that some strange power surged into his Yang Spirit. He wanted to open his mouth and call out to his protector, but the teleportation array had already been activated at that moment, and a huge sense of dizziness came over him. When he regained his senses, he had already returned to Blue Star.

"What just happened?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head. He turned to look at Liu Neng, only to be surprised to find that Liu Neng was nowhere to be seen.

"Liu Neng? Where did Liu Neng go?"

The Ninth Prince raised his voice and asked, and his entourage looked around and also discovered that True Lord Liu Neng was missing.

"No, something must have just happened!"

The Ninth Prince scanned the entire teleportation array with his divine sense, only to find that the number of people who walked out of the teleportation array was exactly one less.

The limit for each ultra-large-scale, ultra-long-distance transmission is 1000 people.

He brought a total of 1000 followers and guards, which was equivalent to having the entire venue to himself.

Only 999 people have now exited the teleportation array.

"Everyone stay put!"

The Ninth Prince realized something was wrong and immediately ordered his attendants to seal the teleportation array. The personnel on duty from the Enforcement Hall and the Night Fiend Hall rushed over upon hearing the commotion. They were also somewhat surprised when they heard that one person was missing from the array.

They contacted Qiyuan Star, and they were clearly informed that 1000 people would enter the teleportation array.

Liu Neng Zhenjun has vanished into thin air!

This has never happened before.

"Is there a problem with Liu Neng?"

Recalling the situation he had felt before the teleportation, the Ninth Prince hurriedly examined his inner spirit. However, as soon as he entered the inner vision, an evil cursed power suddenly activated.

Almost instantly, the dignified Ninth Prince was plunged into boundless fear.

"No--"

The Ninth Prince let out a miserable scream and fell backward to the ground.

"Your Highness!"

The many attendants were shocked. Ninth Prince's protector, Ancestor Wanfeng, quickly supported the Ninth Prince and sent his divine sense into the Ninth Prince's body. However, he was immediately frightened and retreated upon contact.

"Quickly, find the Supreme Being! It's the power of the laws!"

Before Ancestor Wanfeng could finish speaking, the Ninth Prince screamed in terror once more.

Wisps of black energy surged and rose from his body, spreading outwards.

The black smoke landed, and the massive, long-distance teleportation array was immediately burned and damaged.

Black smoke billowed out, instantly shattering any buildings it encountered into dust.

Such a terrifying sight deterred anyone from approaching.

Ancestor Wanfeng was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. As a dignified ancestor who had achieved the Integration Realm, he dared not touch this powerful curse and could only stay far away.

The sudden turn of events threw the entire teleportation array area into chaos. Everyone screamed and fled, and the Enforcement Hall and Night Fiend Hall couldn't stop them, as they too were trying to escape the rising black smoke.

Everyone could only watch from afar as the Ninth Prince was completely consumed by the terrifying power of the curse.

It took no more than a hundred breaths.

The dignified Ninth Prince has just set foot on the land of Blue Star.

That's it.

The power of the curse, having lost its source, gradually dissipated into the world.

But no one present dared to approach.

Ancestor Wanfeng urgently contacted the Imperial Clan Court, which immediately relayed the message to the Emperor.

"Xiao Jiu is gone?"

The emperor was admiring the flowers in the back garden. His queens had not been favored for a long time, and each of them was eagerly clinging to him, not wanting him to leave. In addition, he intended to have a few more offspring, so he had been indulging himself recently.

When he heard that the Ninth Prince had been killed by the cursed power the moment he set foot on Earth, he flew into a rage.

"Who did this?"

Another of her sons has died?

Damn it, why do none of my sons live long?

The crown prince was a rebellious son. The second son seized the throne, the third son was killed by the fourth son, the fourth, fifth and seventh sons were all demoted, and the eighth son was killed in the White Sand Secret Realm, and the murderer has not been found to this day.

Now Xiao Jiu is dead too!

This made him feel like he wasn't the chosen one, but rather a cursed lone star.

"The specifics are still unclear, but Liu Neng Zhenjun, who was by the side of the Ninth Prince, was still there when he entered the teleportation array, but disappeared after being teleported to Blue Star."

Zong Ling had already gathered all the information before he arrived. He recounted what had just happened in detail and concluded by saying, "I suspect that it was most likely True Lord Liu Neng who killed him! However, since it involves the laws of curse power, I feel that this matter is suspicious, as if some supreme being had deliberately laid an ambush on the Ninth Prince."

"An assassination attempt by the Supreme Being?"

The emperor's eyes narrowed sharply.

The supreme beings on Earth are few in number, and each one is a strategic nuclear weapon-level existence.

Why would such a supreme being ambush a Ninth Prince? Does this mean some country is about to start a war with the Xuan Yuan Empire?

As the ruler of the empire, he considered things more deeply and further ahead.

Xuan Wanlin.

The Emperor moved to the Imperial Study and soon met with the Empire's Chief Intelligence Officer: "Who killed Xiao Jiu?"

"The Night Fiend Hall is investigating with all its might, and it's most likely Liu Neng."

The Emperor pointed at Wan Lin's nose and scolded, "What use are you to me? Your Night Fiend Hall is in charge of intelligence throughout the world, and no one even noticed when someone tried to assassinate my son? I think you've become too arrogant since you entered the Integration Stage."

And Shen Bai! Isn't Qiyuan Star Shen Bai's territory? Tell him to get over here right now!

The emperor was furious, but Wan Lin remained calm. He waved his hand and sent out a communication talisman. In less than half an hour, Shen Bai had arrived at the imperial study.

"Greetings, Father Emperor!"

Shen Bai bowed deeply, but this did nothing to lessen the Emperor's anger: "Xiao Jiu died on your territory. Tell me honestly, who did it?"

Shen Bai looked completely innocent: "Father, didn't the Ninth Prince die on Blue Star?"

"To die on Earth?"

The Emperor was furious: "If the curse hadn't been cast on Qiyuan Star, how could it have erupted the moment we entered Blue Star? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, so easily fooled?"

"Father, you yourself said that it is the power of a curse. How could ordinary people detect it? Shouldn't we ask the Supreme Beings who possesses the power of the curse's laws?"

Shen Bai still looked completely innocent, even pushing the problem directly onto the Tribulation Transcending Supreme.

Just then, Dugu Zhizun's charming laughter rang out in the imperial study.

"Oh my, isn't this Lord Kunyuan? We said we'd spar last time, but the cursed meteorite erupted and we couldn't. Since there's no time like the present, shall we have a proper spar today?"
