"Congratulations to user for participating in the War of the Princes, participating in the True Dragon Project, and changing Fifth Prince Li Heng's fate. You are rewarded 15 points of Destiny Energy!"
As Wang Chong walked out of the Imperial Palace in the darkness and closed the gate behind him, a voice he had not heard in a long time resounded in his mind. With this voice and a light breeze, an invisible energy poured into Wang Chong's body from the depths of space-time.
Wang Chong felt his entire body warm.
"I've finally succeeded!"
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Chong's lips curled into a smile. He knew that his final letter had been effective.
When dealing with those Ouzan experts in the practice ground, Wang Chong had already obtained 15 points of Destiny Energy. With the addition from Consort Tai Zhen, Wang Chong had obtained 30 points of Destiny Energy in a single day.
At this point, Wang Chong had accumulated 109 points of Destiny Energy!
Adding on the Destiny Energy he had used to exchange for Metal Bone, Gold Organs, help Fifth Prince Li Heng change his blood, and use the 'World Energy Restriction' several times, Wang Chong had accumulated more than 200 points of Destiny Energy.
And for Wang Chong, when he had accumulated 200 points of Destiny Energy, it represented a completely new meaning …
"… I can finally exchange for Origin Energy items!"
As Wang Chong walked along the stone street, he gave a long sigh of relief, his mind incredibly relaxed.
The Stone of Destiny's rewards were divided into 'Heart', 'Physique', 'Energy', 'Technique', and 'Power'. But because he didn't have enough Destiny Energy, Wang Chong had only been able to exchange for 'Iron Bones', 'Panther Bones', 'Gold Organs', and 'Blood Transformation'.
If he wanted to increase his Origin Energy, Wang Chong could only buy pills from the imperial clan in the Imperial City. But once he unlocked the Origin Energy rewards, things would be different.
This meant that Wang Chong could use Destiny Energy to exchange for Origin Energy rewards that could increase his strength.
In this way, Wang Chong's strength would grow much faster.
"… Young Master!"
The sound of footsteps came from the darkness, interrupting Wang Chong's thoughts. The Eagle had a large eagle perched on its shoulder, and it was striding over from afar.
"How is it?"
"It's fine now."
Wang Chong smiled and gestured that everything was going well. Once the matter of Consort Tai Zhen was settled, the Fifth Prince would have nothing to worry about.
Although no one dared to say that they were definitely safe, with Consort Tai Zhen's protection, at least everyone had something to worry about. Even the First Prince and the Third Prince would not dare to act recklessly.
"Come, let's go back to the training camp!"
Grabbing the warhorse from the hands of the Wang Clan guards behind The Eagle, Wang Chong leapt onto its back. Everything was on the right path, and the Fifth Prince had also embarked on his own path to fight for the throne. Now, it was time for his own plan.
Now that the Deflecting Blade Manor had developed to this stage, it was time to move on to the next step of the plan.
"… I just wonder how Dusong Mangpoje is doing."
As he gazed at the dark sky and the tens of thousands of lanterns in the city, Wang Chong thought of the Ouzan Great General Dusong Mangpoje who had been traveling incognito, and a smile appeared on his lips.
This Ouzan Great General was an existence that would cause the Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains to feel a deep headache. This person was not only powerful in martial arts, but also extremely intelligent. Thus, even a hero like Geshu Han, who had ruled over the Tang Dynasty and ruled over the Ouzan border, had been helpless against him.
However, now that Wang Chong had seen through his identity in the capital, he probably wouldn't be so lucky.
"Run, run! Let's see if you'll be so lucky! "
With a faint smile, Wang Chong urged his horse toward Deflecting Blade Manor.
… …
Gallop!
A strong horse hoof stomped down, kicking up a cloud of dust. While Wang Chong was rushing to Deflecting Blade Manor, sixty-some li away from the Tang Dynasty's capital, a group of Ouzan cavalry was galloping toward the Ouzan Plateau.
Ever since Wang Chong had exposed them on the practice ground, Dusong Mangpoje and the others had not even returned to their guest house. They had fled the capital of the Tang Dynasty and fled through the night to the Ouzan Plateau.
"Hurry! The Tang Dynasty is no longer safe. Only by returning to the plateau can we completely escape this danger! "
On his horse, Dusong Mangpoje had a solemn expression as he urged the cavalry forward.
"Great General, could we be thinking too much? Could the Tang Dynasty have never thought about dealing with us? After all, we've already been sixty-some li away from the Tang Dynasty, and nothing has happened! "
An Ouzan commander raised his head and said with a sliver of hope.
Ever since they had left the practice ground, Great General Dusong Mangpoje had been urging them on. It wasn't that he doubted the Great General's judgment and prestige, but that they had encountered nothing on their journey.
Other than their suspicions, there was only the howling of the wind from the hills on their sides.
It seemed like they were just scaring themselves.
"Perhaps not in the past, but it's different now! I also hope that I'm just being paranoid, but that's impossible. "
Dusong Mangpoje sternly said. From the moment he had left the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he had felt like someone was locking onto him from afar, constantly coveting and following him.
This feeling had only just begun, but Dusong Mangpoje did not dare to be careless.
'A centipede dies but never falls down.' The current Tang Dynasty was far from being as domineering and powerful as it was in the past.
But amongst the elites and upper echelons of this massive empire, there were still some extremely formidable individuals that could not be underestimated.
That youth of the Central Plains on the plaza was the best example!
There were many times when Dusong Mangpoje had wanted to kill him, but in the end, he had managed to restrain himself.
Although he didn't know the exact origins of that youth, he was certain that he had an extraordinary background. There were many times when that youth had been intentionally provoking him, forcing him to attack. Dusong Mangpoje was well aware of his opponent's intentions. As long as he killed that youth, the Tang Dynasty would have more than enough evidence to attack him in the capital.
If that really happened, just as that youth had said, he might not even be able to walk out of the Tang Dynasty's capital.
That youth's prediction had been spot on.
… I originally believed that the Central Plains had declined on this trip to the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect to encounter such a monstrous youth on the last day. The fate of the Central Plains still hasn't run out yet!
Dusong Mangpoje couldn't help but sigh.
The First Prince had swapped places with his cavalry, having his subordinates assume his identity to meet with the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This matter had been so secretive that no one knew of it other than his own party. Not even the ministers of the Tang Dynasty had seen through it.
Dusong Mangpoje had originally believed that no one would see through the First Prince's trick until he returned to the plateau. Who would have thought that the young man would be able to see through their plan so easily and kill the cavalryman in front of everyone without any hesitation, dampening the prestige of their group.
Of course, if that was all there was to it, it would have been fine. After all, this was a trick that the First Prince had played on a whim, a game.
But the youth had been able to expose his identity with a single glance. This was what truly shocked Dusong Mangpoje.
If the one who had done this had been some renowned figure of the Tang Dynasty, he would have been able to accept it. But given the youth's age, he could never have met him, much less recognized him.
For the identity he had maintained for more than three months to be exposed in such a manner was truly unexpected for Dusong Mangpoje.
"Great General, I'm sorry. I've implicated you!"
At this moment, a voice came from the side. Dusong Mangpoje turned his head and saw an 'Ouzan cavalry' looking at him in shame.
"First Prince, there's no need to be so polite. I was the one who made this decision in the first place. Coming to the Tang Dynasty was to continue my dream of many years, and it has nothing to do with you. First Prince, there's no need to blame yourself. "
Dusong Mangpoje grinned and waved his hand, unconcerned.
This shamefaced 'Ouzan cavalry' was naturally the true Ouzan First Prince. The Ouzan people were fierce and ferocious, and they worshipped martial prowess.
The Ouzan First Prince was a proud person who would not easily apologize to others. But the First Prince also knew that this matter was no trifling matter.
If a Great General of the Tang Dynasty were to stealthily infiltrate the Ouzan Empire, the Ouzan Empire would definitely do its utmost to keep them here.
This was clearly the situation that Dusong Mangpoje was facing.
Although the others were still doubtful and unsure if someone was really targeting them, the Ouzan First Prince knew that the elites of the Tang Dynasty would never let go of this chance.
And if he hadn't been too proud and thought himself clever, causing this martial arts competition in the practice ground, he would never have fallen to this level.
It could be said that if anything happened to Dusong Mangpoje, it would all be his responsibility.
The Ouzan Empire had one million soldiers, but it only had a scant few Great Generals. If something happened to Dusong Mangpoje in the Tang Dynasty, it would be a massive stain on this operation, and it would even severely threaten his right to succeed the Tsenpo.
This was the true reason for the First Prince's unease.
"Listen to me. As long as we are within the borders of the Tang Dynasty's capital, the Tang Dynasty will not dare to move against us. But once we are a certain distance away from the capital, things will be different. If something happens to us, the Tang Dynasty will be able to push the blame onto someone else.
"And in order to deal with me, they will definitely move against you. Because this is the only way to explain things on the surface. This is why I am escorting all of you out of the capital. In a little while, don't take the main road. Once you leave this place, choose a clear direction. You can't turn back until you reach the Ouzan Plateau. "
Dusong Mangpoje said, his voice tinged with an ominous aura.
"General, will you not be coming with us?"
An Ouzan cavalry commander suddenly sensed something and raised his head.
"Of course he can't go with you!"
Before Dusong Mangpoje could reply, a voice came from the side of the road. The voice was so sudden that everyone jumped in fright.
"Who, just who is it?"
"Who's sneaking around? Hurry and get out here!"
… …
The crowd fell into an uproar, and the Ouzan cavalry seemed to be provoked. They all turned around, pulled out their shining scimitars, and aimed them at the source of the voice.
Whoosh!
A light breeze blew past and the wind blew. Diagonally in front of the crowd, a cold figure wearing clothes as white as snow and a ribbon fluttered in the wind. His hands were clasped behind his back as he slowly walked out from the pine forest.
This seemingly thin body exuded an aura as vast as the mountains and seas.
Bang!
A silver boot lightly stepped on the ground, causing the earth to quake. The energy in a radius of several thousand zhang suddenly changed. All the grass, trees, branches, and leaves began to exude a needle-like aura as they aimed at Dusong Mangpoje's group on the official road.
"Neigh!"
