What is a demon?
Idle clouds and wild cranes are impermanent; green mountains and clear waters ask the ruler's heart!
The person who came was Fiendish Saber Xi Mu's first disciple, Lu Benwei. He finally broke the barrier of this small world from the outside.
Kacha!
It looked like the saber would strike the Silver Dragon King and severely injure it.
However, the Silver Dragon King was a famous expert, after all. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he turned into a silver dragon image.
As if he had teleported, he dodged the strongest attack of the saber. By the time the saber light arrived again, its power had already weakened significantly.
Bang!
When the saber struck the Silver Dragon King's chest, it gave off a loud 'clang.' However, the saber struck the armor, unable to advance any further.
The Silver Dragon King vomited a mouthful of blood as he went flying back and landed on the lake.
Another deafening explosion rang out. Before he could gather his strength to counterattack, Lu Benwei had already executed his second move.
What is a demon?
The Fallen Flower Man stood alone, the Tiny Rain Swallows Fly Together.
A strong wind blew, and the petals filled the sky. The flying leaves fell like rain, walking in the wind, standing alone. This strike stood calmly as the wind and rain stirred up the falling flowers. As the two swallows spread out, it turned into a drop of rain and fell.
Lu Benwei spread his arms, and two afterimages flew away like swallows. Then, he turned into a drop of pure rain and fell towards the Silver Dragon King on the lake.
Xiao Chen was slightly startled when he saw this scene. This scene seemed familiar, yet it was completely different from his memories.
Be it the Fiendish Saber inheritance's first move or the second move, Lu Benwei's comprehension was different from his.
The first style he had comprehended was All Things Rejoicing Together. He wanted to be at peace with the clouds, wild cranes, green mountains, and clear waters. Everything in the world was at his disposal, and there was no distinction between them.
Lu Benwei used this to question the heart of the ruler, to ask himself, and also to ask his opponent.
In the second style, what Xiao Chen comprehended was a sense of pride, a sense of persistence, and a sense of tyranny that looked down on the Nine Heavens. Raindrop Breaking the Vault of Heaven.
Lu Benwei, on the other hand, comprehended a kind of indifference. Transcendence from the mundane world, the wind blows, the clouds do not sway, my heart is like me, and does not follow the heavens.
The two different comprehensions were evenly matched. As long as it was suitable for him, it was fine.
After using it, there were two completely different images, causing everyone's eyes to light up.
However, given Lu Benwei's current cultivation as a 6-Vein Sovereign Emperor, the might of the Fiendish Saber inheritance was much greater than Xiao Chen's.
Given Xiao Chen's current cultivation, even if he executed the Fiendish Saber inheritance, he would find it hard to truly injure the Silver Dragon King.
But Lu Benwei was different!
Kacha!
When this saber strike landed, the Silver Dragon King's armor shattered. The saber light instantly struck the Silver Dragon King.
Bang!
In the face of adversity, the Silver Dragon King roared ferociously and sent a palm strike. His five fingers morphed into a silver dragon claw, and the five dragon claws pierced Lu Benwei's chest at the same time.
Lu Benwei snorted coldly. He endured the pain and was about to attack again.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger. His figure flashed, and an arc of light flashed. It disappeared from where the Silver Dragon King's head had been. Then, it swept up and bound the Silver Dragon King.
It was Sikong Shu who calmly made a move and rescued the Silver Dragon King.
Then, the Snow Python entered the lake and disappeared into the distance.
Whoosh!
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he landed beside Lu Benwei. When he saw the five bloody holes in Lu Benwei's chest, he asked sullenly, "Big Brother Lu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. It won't take my life. I underestimated this Silver Dragon King's strength."
Lu Benwei sheathed his saber and said calmly, "I'll find a place to treat my injuries first. The small world is already broken. Those two probably won't dare to come again."
"Alright."
As Xiao Chen watched Lu Benwei's figure disappear, he entered deep thought. This Big Brother Lu is very elusive.
Even Xiao Chen himself does not know where he usually goes.
However, this is fine. Those who want to harm me will find it hard to detect Lu Benwei's existence.
If not for Big Brother Lu making a move, I would have been in trouble.
Xiao Chen had not expected the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor to be so deranged, sending the Silver Dragon King to kill him.
Furthermore, this was in the imperial capital, Yan City, before the Ninth Prince.
"That should be Fiendish Saber Xi Mu's disciple, right? Unexpectedly, Lord Xiao has such an expert protecting you in secret," the Ninth Prince said as he watched Lu Benwei leave.
The Ninth Prince said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he watched Lu Benwei leave.
Xiao Chen asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the Ninth Prince does not have any expert guards by his side?"
This question put Wang Yan in an awkward position, not knowing how to answer.
The Heavenly Book Scholar smiled bitterly at the side and said, "Xiao Chen, even the Royal Clan has a limited number of Great Perfection Sovereign Emperors. How can they arrange for one for every prince? Aside from a few favored princes, the Royal Clan will not arrange for a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor to protect them. Actually, they use their own influence to recruit them. However, if you want to recruit a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor, you will have to pay a significant price.
"Even if the Ninth Prince succeeds in recruiting the Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor, the Ninth Prince can only protect him at important moments. They cannot possibly be by the prince's side at all times."
So, that is the case. This dispelled Xiao Chen's doubts about why he did not see any experts by Wang Yan's side in the earlier battle.
This made sense. Even in Yan City, how many Great Perfection Sovereign Emperors could there be?
It would be even more difficult for a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor to accompany a prince at all times.
"What a pity for my brothers. Their deaths were not worth it."
Displeasure flashed in Wang Yan's eyes. When the shock waves from the earlier battle swept out, not even the corpses of his secret guards remained.
"Sorry, I implicated the Ninth Prince this time."
Xiao Chen felt somewhat apologetic. Sikong Shu and the Silver Dragon King's target was him. Those secret guards were just collateral damage.
"It's not really implicating. In the end, it is because I do not have any authority in the imperial capital. If it were First Brother or Eighth Brother, those two would not dare to mess around!"
Wang Yan showed a calm expression, not showing any intention of blaming Xiao Chen.
The Heavenly Book Scholar said from the side, "It is possible that there are other princes behind this matter. Without the princes taking care of this, the Heavenly Book Scholar would not have been able to deal with this. Without the princes' help, Sikong Shu and the Silver Dragon King would not be able to silently lay a small world in the mirror lake. "
"First Brother's wedding is approaching, and there are more people from all walks of life in the imperial capital. This is probably just the beginning," Wang Yan said with a drawn-out sigh, not feeling surprised.
After some thought, Xiao Chen said, "Ninth Prince, I think I can agree to what you said earlier."
When Wang Yan heard that, he asked softly, "You mean, you agree to come to the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb with me?"
"Yes. However, I have a request. "
"What request? Speak."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, the Ninth Prince thought for a while before saying, "Alright, I can promise you that. As long as you agree to come to the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb with me, you will be my guest."
"That's good. Goodbye."
After Xiao Chen turned around, he quickly left, not lingering.
The Heavenly Book Scholar and the Ninth Prince entered deep thought as they watched Xiao Chen leave.
"Unexpectedly, this is what he needs me to do for him. Chang Ji, is it good for him?"
The Ninth Prince Wang Yan asked, feeling confused.
The Heavenly Book Scholar shook his head and said, "There are no benefits at all. He might even end up dead. I cannot figure out this person, nor can I divine …"
Wang Yan said calmly, "It does not matter. Given this, there is no need to worry about him cultivating a Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique. A person who can make such a request would not be in cahoots with those Demonic Dao cultivators. "
"Ninth Prince, which prince do you think is involved this time?"
Wang Yan replied coldly, "Aside from Little Thirteen, which other prince would be so bold, daring to make such a rash move in the imperial capital? First Brother allied with the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. It looks like he is really anxious. For the sake of gaining help, he does not care about anything else. "
The Heavenly Book Scholar nodded and said, "I guessed it earlier as well. However, I did not want Xiao Chen to know, so I did not say it.
"Don't tell Xiao Chen about this first. Given his character, I'm afraid that he will seek trouble for Little Thirteen tonight."
…
On the other side, Sikong Shu and the Silver Dragon King fled far away from the center of the lake.
When he reappeared, he was in a secluded courtyard. There were already several people waiting for a long time in the courtyard.
If Xiao Chen were here, he would easily recognize two of them.
As for the last person, he would probably be able to guess.
As Wang Yan had guessed, the youngest of the three was the Yan Emperor's favorite son, the Thirteenth Prince Wang Yi.
On his left was Xiao Chen's old acquaintance, Bai Yunfei, who had the royal bloodline of the Baize Empire.
The person on the right was wearing a golden yellow robe with purple patterns embedded in his collar. The purple and gold colors were rather eye-catching.
This person was Bai Yunfei's good friend, the famous Dragon God Crown Prince of the Divine Dragon Empire, Qin Ming.
"Did Teacher succeed?"
Seeing Sikong Shu appear, Bai Yunfei's eyes flashed with anticipation and he hurriedly went up to ask.
The nearby Qin Ming seemed to be much calmer, and he already knew the answer in his heart after observing the expressions of the two old men.
"It failed."
"He has a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor by his side at all times. To think that the Ninth Prince even helped him at the crucial moment."
Sikong Shu and the Silver Dragon King said with somewhat unsightly expressions. After all, two 6-Vein Sovereign Emperors had gone to kill a junior.
No matter how they looked at it, it was extremely embarrassing.
However, the Thirteenth Prince Wang Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. If they had really assassinated Xiao Chen and investigated the matter, it would have been problematic.
The Thirteenth Prince stepped forward and said, "Seniors, I already did my best to help with this matter. As for what you promised me … "
Before the Thirteenth Prince could finish, Qin Ming interrupted, "Thirteenth Prince, don't worry. Since we are here, we will definitely help the Thirteenth Prince ascend to the ceremony. This failure will not affect our relationship. There is no need to worry. "
The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "Good. In that case, I can rest assured. You can stay in the imperial capital for now. If you need anything, you can come and look for me at any time."
After the Thirteenth Prince left, Bai Yunfei said in a flustered and exasperated manner, "If we can't even kill him with this, we will not have another chance in Yan City."
Qin Ming said indifferently, "There's no rush. I have a feeling that he will definitely go to the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb. At that time, we will have plenty of opportunities to kill him openly!"
