Inside the dimly lit secret chamber, there were many gemstone lamps embedded in the walls, exuding a colorful glow.
There was a spell formation in the middle of the secret chamber, and Yun Yao was sitting in the middle of the spell formation in a long white dress.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she sat with a calm expression. Her entire body was enveloped in a faint layer of colorful light, making her appear even more beautiful and otherworldly.
When she saw Ji Tianxing enter the secret chamber, her calm and indifferent expression became much gentler.
"Tianxing, you're here."
Ji Tianxing smiled and nodded. He walked in front of her and sat down across from her.
"Yao Yao, I was just about to go find you after the ceremony ended, but I didn't expect you to have already made arrangements."
As he spoke, he took out the wings of wind and fire from his spatial ring and handed them back to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao accepted the jade hairpin and gathered her long hair into a bun before inserting the jade hairpin into her hair.
"Before the Heavenly Prince chose his consort, it was inconvenient for us to meet in order to avoid criticism and unnecessary trouble for you.
Now that the Heavenly Prince has chosen his Heavenly Consort, you and I are no longer restricted by this. "
Yun Yao stared at Ji Tianxing and said in a calm tone. The corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Ji Tianxing had the same thoughts as her and nodded in agreement.
Now that the Heavenly Prince had chosen his Heavenly Consort, there were no longer any obstacles between him and Yun Yao. The last trace of worry in his heart also disappeared.
After a moment of silence, he sighed with emotion. "Long Yunxiao is indeed a gentleman. His words are law.
I just didn't expect that he would be able to suppress his grief and choose An Suwan as his Heavenly Consort.
I'm afraid no one expected this result. "
Yun Yao nodded and said calmly, "An Suwan was born in a family of demon refiners. Although the An Family is located in the south, it is also a prestigious family with a heritage of several hundred years.
With An Suwan's background and talent, she is indeed a good match for Long Yunxiao. The two of them are a perfect match.
I only hope that Long Yunxiao can let go of the past soon and accept An Suwan … Only then will he not be depressed and affect the situation in the imperial court. "
"Yes." Ji Tianxing nodded and said solemnly, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let bygones be bygones.
Yao Yao, after you left, the Imperial Tutor announced another piece of news. The Imperial Court wants to select a new leader for the Tianchen Region … "
He told Yun Yao everything about the Territorial Lord selection.
Yun Yao frowned and said seriously, "This is very important. No matter who becomes the Tianchen Region Lord, it will affect the power structure of our clan.
In my race, the Imperial Court is the leader and has the highest status.
In terms of power and status, below the Imperial Court were the three ancient clans, followed by the Four Directions Divine Generals and the Eight Region Lords.
Then there are the City Lords of the various cities in Central State, as well as the leaders of the first-rate forces. "
Ji Tianxing listened in silence, and had a clearer understanding of the power structure of the human race.
Yun Yao continued, "The position of the Tianchen Region Lord is very honorable and important.
Not only will the princes fight for it, but the princes of the Imperial Court and the young experts of the various clans and forces will also participate.
The princes of the Murong and Duanmu clans will also not let go of this opportunity.
Once they obtain the position of the Tianchen Region Lord, their power will increase exponentially. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "That's right. Many princes are determined to obtain the position of the Tianchen Region Lord.
However, the Imperial Court will screen the people who sign up for the competition and will only announce the name list after a month.
I come from the Tianchen Region. My family and hometown are there, as well as our sect.
Even if the chances are slim, I will try my best. "
Yun Yao frowned and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Tianxing, I support you in competing for the position of the Territorial Lord.
If you can become the Tianchen Region Lord, not only will you be able to protect your family and hometown, but you will also be able to protect our sect.
The Sky Pillar Sect has many things to do now, and it will take many years for it to gradually recover.
If someone else becomes the Tianchen Region Lord, our sect will definitely be suppressed and ostracized. It might be very difficult for us to recover. "
"I understand." Ji Tianxing nodded again and said solemnly, "So, I will do my best."
After a pause, he continued, "Yao Yao, if it's possible, I would like you to help me investigate Ling Yi Xin's identity."
"No problem. I will instruct Yun Luo later." Yun Yao agreed without hesitation, then asked, "Tianxing, why do you suddenly want to investigate him?"
Ji Tianxing explained, "When I came to the Imperial Court, Ling Yi Xin took the initiative to travel with me.
On the way, we were attacked by two mysterious assassins.
Although I killed one of the assassins, Ling Yi Xin defeated the other one.
However, I still haven't figured out who sent the two assassins. "
Yun Yao raised her eyebrows and asked solemnly, "Tianxing, are you suspecting Ling Yi Xin?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think he is someone who wants to deal with me, but he gives me a strange feeling.
Now, we can only act cautiously and investigate all suspicious people. "
"Yes, it should be so." Yun Yao nodded slightly and agreed with his approach.
She pondered for a moment, then said with a puzzled face, "Tianxing, although you defeated Long Yunxiao in public and entered the Monarch Residence, you have been in the limelight recently.
However, the major forces will only pay attention to you and won't send assassins to assassinate you.
Who is it that can't wait to take your life? "
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said, "I have also been puzzled and have no clue.
Logically speaking, I made Long Yunxiao lose face and damaged the dignity of the Imperial Court. The one with the most reason to get rid of me should be the Imperial Court.
However, Long Yunxiao and the Imperial Court won't do such a despicable thing.
Besides, I have just arrived in the Central State and have yet to become enemies with any forces. Who would want to kill me? "
Yun Yao thought for a while in silence, then said in a deep voice, "We are in the open while the enemy is in the dark.
As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days of being a thief, but not a thousand days of guarding against thieves. We can't passively defend all the time.
Tianxing, maybe we can take the initiative to attack and lure the enemy out, then capture them and interrogate them. "
Ji Tianxing quickly nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I have the same idea.
However, the enemy is very alert and won't be fooled easily. We have to think of a good countermeasure. "
Yun Yao thought for a moment and said, "The enemy has lost a Sky Origin Realm assassin, so they might not take action in the next few days.
Tianxing, you stay in Yun Lan's courtyard and recuperate for a few days.
After a few days, when the enemy relaxes their vigilance and can't hold back anymore, we will lure them out. "
Ji Tianxing nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, we will do as you say."
After discussing the plan, the two talked about some other trivial matters.
