(Second Update!)

"Haha ~ ~ ~ Your Highness Qing, I've been waiting here for a long time."
When the hearty laughter echoed, His Highness Qing and Yuan Chong's expressions changed immediately.
Yuan Chong saw the person who laughed at first glance.
"Shen Si? Oh no, it's the Third Prince's men!! "Yuan Chong was shocked and everyone stopped immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures moved at an astonishing speed and appeared in front of Jian Wushuang and the others in the blink of an eye.
At a glance, there were close to 30 experts who had suddenly arrived and the weakest among them was a Rank Three True Saint. However, the difference was that there were only a few Rank Three True Saints among them and most of them were Rank Four True Saints. The black-robed old man who led the group exuded an aura that was far above that of a Rank Four True Saint.
This black-robed old man was a Rank Five True Saint!!
Such a lineup was much stronger than His Highness Qing's lineup. They were on a completely different level.
"How could it be? How did you know to wait for us here?" His Highness Qing's voice was cold.
"How did we know? Of course, someone told us. "The black-robed old man, Shen Si, smiled coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, whoosh!!
A purple-haired man who was behind His Highness Qing instantly turned into a purple flowing light and shot out. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Shen Si.
"Sir." The purple-haired man bowed respectfully to Shen Si.
"Mm, you did well." Shen Si nodded slightly.
Seeing this scene, Prince Qing immediately reacted. "Spy!!"
"Haha ~ ~ ~ Your Highness Qing, although in terms of talent for cultivation, both you and His Highness the Sixth Prince are extremely exceptional, in terms of methods of handling matters, you and His Highness the Sixth Prince are still too immature." Shen Si laughed loudly, "Previously, His Royal Highness invited strong people from all over with great fanfare. How could the Third Prince not know about such a big commotion? Even though His Highness didn't stop it, it's still possible for him to secretly send some experts under His Royal Highness. And this time, among the ten experts you've chosen, there are some of our people. "
Shen Si was only halfway through his sentence.
In fact, the Third Prince had sent quite a few spies to His Royal Highness. There were at least ten of them, including Rank Three and Rank Four True Saints.
It was precisely because they had sent out so many spies that even if Highness Qing randomly picked ten people, one of them would be one of their people.
"So that's how it is?" Prince Qing and Yuan Chong's expressions turned ugly.
"Shen Si, it's fine that you planted spies under His Highness, but now you're blocking His Highness Qing's way. What are you trying to do?" Yuan Chong shouted coldly.
"What do we want to do? Don't you know? " Shen Si sneered, "Highness Qing, His Highness Third Prince has already guessed your intention. You want to go to the Seiyu Sect and become a disciple of the Peak Rank Six True Saint Elder, then use the power of the Seiyu Sect to help His Royal Highness ascend to the throne. Do you think His Highness Third Prince will let you do as you wish? "
Highness Qing was stunned. She didn't expect His Highness Third Prince to have guessed her intention.
"Highness Qing, we've also brought His Highness Third Prince's message. His Highness Third Prince said that if you go back with me now and stay by His Highness' side, His Highness Third Prince won't make things difficult for you because of the blood connection. When he ascends to the throne, you can still become the Princess of Zhen Wu Country, and your status will be second only to him. However, if you're still stubborn and stand with His Royal Highness against him, then don't blame him for being ruthless," Shen Si said in a low voice.
"Haha, the blood connection? Ever since he was born, he had been scheming and preparing. When Father was still alive, he had been suppressing us. Now that Father had disappeared, he couldn't wait to get rid of those who threatened his position. Now, he still has the face to say that we are related by blood? He'll be a joke if this gets out! "Highness Qing shouted in a low voice.
"Looks like Highness Qing doesn't plan to change her mind," Shen Si's voice became low and his eyes turned cold.
Highness Qing didn't say anything else, but she had already made up her mind.
Yuan Chong looked at Jian Wushuang and the others behind him.
"Everyone, His Royal Highness paid a huge price to invite you here. Now it's time for you to fulfill your duties," Yuan Chong said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the eight people beside Jian Wushuang looked at each other with strange expressions.
"Mr. Yuan Chong." One of the Rank Three True Saints suddenly said, "I was indeed invited here by His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness promised me a huge reward, but although this reward is enough for me to be his guard for a hundred years, it's not worth it for me to risk my life for him, let alone in this situation. So … I'm sorry!"
As soon as the Rank Three True Saint finished speaking, he immediately turned into a stream of light and shot toward the Void beside him.
With someone taking the lead, the others immediately followed suit.
"Highness Qing, Mr. Yuan Chong, I'm sorry!!"
"The two of you better pray for yourselves."
"Although I agreed to be your escort, I never promised to risk my life for you, let alone die for you."
Voices were heard one after another.
In the blink of an eye, eight of the nine cultivators behind Highness Qing left.
Seeing these eight people leave, Shen Si and the others didn't stop them. They knew that these people weren't really loyal to His Royal Highness, so there was no need to kill them.
Seeing this, Yuan Chong was so angry that he trembled. "Damn it, damn it!!"
Highness Qing's face grew colder and colder.
"Hmm?"
Highness Qing's expression suddenly changed.
This was because she realized that although eight of the nine Rank Three True Saints behind her had left, there was still one person who chose to stay.
This person was Jian Wushuang.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Highness Qing asked in a low voice.
"I don't like to go back on my words. Since I've agreed to be your escort for a hundred years, I'll naturally do my best to protect you," Jian Wushuang said indifferently.
Highness Qing was stunned when she heard this, but then she nodded slightly.
"Highness Qing, don't worry. Even if I die, I won't let anything happen to you." Yuan Chong's eyes were extremely red. He looked deeply at Highness Qing and then stepped forward.
"Shen Si, I want to make a deal with you," Yuan Chong's voice reverberated.
"Make a deal?" Shen Si sneered. "At this point, what deal can you make with me? Moreover, even if you want to make a deal, it should be Highness Qing. Who do you think you are? "
"Humph, you have to make a deal because …" Yuan Chong said as he approached Shen Si.
