Beside the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, the crown prince's palace.
Inside the vast palace, the crown prince sat alone. His expression was solemn, but his eyes were filled with a myriad of thoughts. On the table in front of him were several secret letters.
"Zhao Musheng, that sly old fox … He was the one behind all of this!" The crown prince's expression flickered as he picked up the secret letters on the table. The more he read, the angrier he became. He quickly crumpled the letter into a ball.
"If only Xushi was here …" Ji Changan let out a long sigh. If Xushi was here, he would be able to give him a good idea and he would not be in such a passive position.
The sudden death of the emperor caught everyone off guard. If it was not for the fact that the news was accidentally leaked by a eunuch in the palace, who knew how long they would have been kept in the dark by the emperor.
"Capturing Ouyang Xiaoyi and Yang Chen … This Zhao Musheng sure has guts. However, it's not impossible for me to cooperate with him. If I agree, it would mean that I would have the support of the Ouyang and Yang families. That way, it would not be so easy for my second brother to overthrow me … even if he colluded with the sects!" The prince muttered to himself. Then, he unfolded the crumpled secret letter and carefully read it for a while. He seemed to have made a huge decision in his heart.
...
"What did you say? A few Battle-Kings couldn't even watch over two Battle-Spirit brats? " Zhao Musheng lightly blew on the steam from the cup in his hand, and after taking a sip of tea, he calmly said.
The face of a man in an embroidered robe in front of him suddenly turned extremely pale. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and fearfully said, "My lord, it was my negligence. I have already sent people to bring them back … but …"
"But what?" Zhao Musheng indifferently asked as he continued to drink his tea.
The man in the embroidered robe secretly glanced at Zhao Musheng before cautiously answering, "The little princess of the Ouyang family escaped with the young duke to that mysterious store …"
"Mysterious store? Hmm? The one that has been the talk of the town recently, where even the emperor personally came? " Zhao Musheng's hand that was drinking his tea suddenly froze as he asked in confusion. He had heard a little about that restaurant, but he did not know much about it.
However, from the information he had gathered, the origin of this small restaurant was definitely not simple.
"A supreme beast and a puppet that can fight against a seventh grade Battle-Saint? This store has an unusual background … Have you investigated it? "Zhao Musheng asked.
"I did, but I couldn't find anything." The man in embroidered gown said. It was precisely because of this that he was terrified, because Ouyang Xiaoyi and Yang Chen had run into the store. If they wanted to catch them again, they would have to go through the store. However, this store … seemed to be very unusual.
"Humph! If you can't even find this out, what's the use of keeping you? Every year, I spend hundreds of thousands of crystals on your intelligence network, yet you can't even find information about a small restaurant? "Zhao Musheng coldly glanced at the man and coldly snorted.
That man was about to break out in cold sweat.
"Forget it. Perhaps this store is really mysterious. This continent is incomparably vast, and there are many unknown forces that we can't even imagine. It's not your fault that you can't find anything. However … you must bring back the girl from the Ouyang Family and the Young Marquis Yang! If you can't do it, you can do it yourself. In any case, I must see them, "Zhao Musheng said.
The man's expression turned ugly in an instant. "Sir, but that store … has a supreme beast guarding it! Moreover, that iron lump is not something that a mere sixth grade Battle-Emperor like me can deal with. "
"A supreme beast? Humph … You really believe this rumor? Do you really think that a supreme beast would be a spirit beast guarding the door of a small store? Not to mention a small store, even the most mysterious sect of the ten great sects, the Celestial Arcanum Sect, does not have this kind of background and confidence. "
Obviously, Zhao Musheng did not believe that a small store would have a supreme beast guarding it. Perhaps Xiao Meng and Eunuch Lian's failure was actually a beautiful mistake? They were just carelessly fooled by that dog.
Zhao Musheng was very confident because he had seen a real ninth grade supreme beast and knew how terrifying that kind of existence was. How could it be a spirit beast guarding the door of a small store … This was completely unreliable.
Zhao Musheng's indisputable attitude made the man in embroidered gown very sad … However, he could not voice out his bitterness, so he had to go. At this moment, he could only believe that his lord's guess was correct.
…
"There's actually such a strange dog in this world?! It can actually speak! "A fifth grade Battle-King stared at Blacky with a dumbfounded expression. He felt as if his entire world had been turned upside down.
Yang Chen also stared blankly at Blacky. It was his first time seeing Blacky, and he did not expect this dog to actually speak.
"Let go of that girl … Is this something a dog like you should say?" Yang Chen was speechless.
"Hahaha! You fat dog, are you planning to play the hero and save the damsel in distress? This is simply … "The few Battle-Kings were all laughing non-stop and could not stop at all.
Bu Fang stood at the entrance of the store and could also hear these people's unstoppable laughter. However, his expression was indifferent, and a faint pity appeared in his eyes for these people.
The Battle-Kings who acted tough in front of Blacky … were all dead.
Thinking of this, Bu Fang could not help but say, "Lazy dog, go easy on them. Don't collapse the newly repaired floor again. If you repair it again … it will be troublesome."
When Blacky heard Bu Fang's words, he immediately rolled his eyes and snorted. He was too lazy to pay attention to him.
When the Battle-King who was holding onto Ouyang Xiaoyi saw this scene, he could not help but frown. He was somewhat vigilant … A restaurant in an alleyway, and a dog that could speak? Why did this information give him a sense of familiarity?
"To actually talk so much nonsense with a dog, I must be an idiot. This dog is so fat, I can just slaughter it and make it into a dog meat hotpot! Delicious! " Another Battle-King did not seem to mind. He coldly smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and walked toward Blacky. From his posture, it seemed like he was going to … catch the dog?
Blacky sincerely looked at the Battle-King with its doggy eyes, then tremblingly stretched out a dainty and exquisite dog paw.
"Hehe, now you know fear. Unfortunately, it's too late. Even if you act cute, it's useless!" That Battle-King immediately laughed heartily.
However, in the next moment, Blacky's doggy paw lightly touched his body. The Battle-King's laughter got stuck in his throat, and his entire body froze on the spot.
"Hmm? What's going on? "The Battle-King who was holding onto Ouyang Xiaoyi immediately furrowed his brows and asked in puzzlement.
However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a terrifying gust of wind whizzing past him. It was as if a figure had sped past him, causing his hair to flutter in the wind.
Boom!!
A figure instantly pierced through more than half of the Imperial City, piercing through countless houses and turning them into minced meat that piled up on the ground.
"Oh, this way, I won't destroy the ground, woof." Blacky calmly said. A tyrannical might suddenly burst forth from its doggy eyes. In its eyes, that Battle-King was just like an ant.
At this moment, the Battle-King who was holding onto Ouyang Xiaoyi finally remembered where he was, and his entire body began to tremble.
This was a black-hearted store that had recently become famous within the Imperial City, an alleyway guarded by a supreme beast … He originally thought that it was just a joke, but a doggy paw actually flicked the old man into minced meat … If anyone dared to say that this dog wasn't a supreme beast, then who would this daddy fight with!
At this moment, the Battle-King's intestines were green with regret. He never thought that these two brats would actually escape to this store...
All of a sudden, the Battle-King felt that his hand was empty. Ouyang Xiaoyi actually burst forth with true energy and stepped on his face. She broke free from his restraints and landed on the ground to escape.
"I …" The Battle-King's pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly felt a wave of terror. Then, a cute furry doggy paw tapped on his stomach.
It was a gentle tap …
