Cheng Longyuan's pupils contracted slightly when he heard the Old Prince's words.
After a moment of silence, the Great Prince of Southern Chu softly asked, "Then why did he come here now …"
The Old Prince shook his head. "Maybe it's just to reassure us."
Slowly, Cheng Longyuan said, "In other words, he will be doing something big … related to the Xian Tian Palace?"
Towards Cheng Yingtian, Cheng Longyuan had never let down his guard.
Although he didn't know the truth behind Cheng Yingtian's identity, Cheng Longyuan had heard that Cheng Yingtian was involved in the Xian Tian Palace's internal strife half a year ago.
Now that Xian Tian Palace seemed to have some new movements and Cheng Yingtian had also come out from his closed-door training, Cheng Longyuan's first reaction was to guess the relationship between the two.
"He has broken through the bottleneck and his strength has improved greatly. However, he is a smart man. With His Majesty still around, he will not be able to do much, even if His Majesty is in seclusion." Slowly, the Old Prince Cheng Jiongting said, "If he wants to do something, he will do it outside, not inside."
Cheng Longyuan frowned. "Father is in closed-door training, and the people of the Wilderness, Milky Way, and Eastern Zhou in the Southern Border are busy …"
The Elder Prince nodded. "I need to stay in the Imperial Capital and can't act rashly. However, we can't ignore this matter. At the very least, we need to find out what happened.
Ying Tian's cultivation has improved greatly, and even I am not sure that I can suppress him now. It is hopeless for others to try to investigate, so we can only rely on Little Seven and the others. "
Cheng Longyuan nodded silently.
The "Xiao Qi" that the old man mentioned was not small at all to Cheng Longyuan. He was referring to his Seventh Imperial Uncle, the Qingling Prince of the Southern Chu Dynasty, Cheng Ye. Along with the Old Prince, Cheng Jiongting, he was one of the four peak Martial Sages of Southern Chu.
Although his strength was inferior to the Qiantang King, Cheng Jiongting, he was still a top expert of the eighteenth realm and one of the core pillars of the Southern Chu Dynasty.
Of course, after Cheng Yingtian's cultivation broke through to level 18, the "Four Great" could be changed to "Five Great".
"I'll go and invite Seventh Uncle," Cheng Longyuan said.
Old Prince Cheng Jiongting nodded. "Xiao Qi is calm. He is indeed the most suitable."
Although they did not exchange blows, Cheng Yingtian gave off an unfathomable feeling.
The Elder Prince suspected that apart from him and Emperor Chu, no one else in Southern Chu was a match for that young man.
Unfortunately, it was not convenient for him to take action personally.
However, the changes between Cheng Yingtian and Xian Tian Palace had to be investigated thoroughly. Thus, this matter could only be handled by someone else.
If the person in charge underestimated Cheng Yingtian and acted blindly, he might suffer a great loss or fall into a trap.
The Prince of Qing Ling, Cheng Ye, was calm and peaceful. Relatively speaking, he was not that competitive.
No matter if it was Emperor Chu, Cheng Hui, or the current Cheng Jiongting and Cheng Longyuan, all of them trusted Cheng Ye and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities.
Right now, he was monitoring the movements in the Wilderness in the Southern Border, resting on his spear.
But now, the situation between Cheng Yingtian and Xian Tian Palace was unclear, and Cheng Ye was the best candidate to find out the truth.
"Grand uncle, during the civil war in Xian Tian Palace, other than Cheng Yingtian, there was also the Ancient God, Chen Luoyang." Cheng Longyuan pondered and said.
The Old Prince sighed. "These are troubled times. Let Xiao Qi remember to be on guard against the Ancient God."
"Yes." Cheng Longyuan answered and left the main hall to find Prince Qing Ling.
The Old Prince's eyelids drooped and his elbows rested on the table as he dozed off again.
The long sighs seemed to reverberate in the hall, and slowly, they were filled with regret.
Among the younger generation of Southern Chu, the eldest prince, Cheng Longyuan, was already very outstanding. He was one of the leaders of the younger generation.
Recently, Cheng Longyuan's cultivation had also improved. He was not far from the seventeenth level and a breakthrough was in sight.
But it was a pity that Cheng Yingtian emerged from the side branch and left him far behind.
Not to mention the gap in cultivation level, even at the same level, Cheng Yingtian was more outstanding than Cheng Longyuan.
What's more, Cheng Yingtian was younger than Cheng Longyuan …
The title of the strongest of the younger generation in Southern Chu had long been decided.
To the Old Prince, he did not mind and had no intention of protecting Cheng Longyuan.
They were all his juniors and not his direct blood relatives. His position would not be affected no matter who took the position.
As the oldest sovereign expert in Southern Chu, the Old Prince, Cheng Jiongting, was even more inclined to Cheng Yingtian.
To be precise, he was more inclined to the one who was more outstanding.
This was related to the future of Southern Chu.
Therefore, the Old Prince did not really care about Cheng Longyuan's current situation.
What he cared about was whether Cheng Yingtian would clash with Sovereign Chu Cheng Hui in the future due to his rapid rise in power.
It was still fine for now.
But if one day, Cheng Yingtian broke through the heavenly moat and became a new giant expert …
Thinking of this, the Old Prince, who was sleeping soundly, sighed again.
…
In Xian Tian Palace, for most people, it was peaceful and no different from the past.
Except for the few grand elders who went into closed-door cultivation or went out.
And these missing Xian Tian Palace experts were already outside the palace. They arrived at a parasol forest between the mountains and rivers.
The one leading the way was a young man.
This young man was wearing the Xian Tian Palace's disciple uniform and his face was calm.
It was Ji Zhong.
He was as calm and indifferent as before. But in fact, the mysterious phoenix cry that rang in his heart in the past was now deafening and never stopped ringing.
However, the phoenix cry was clear and sweet, not only did it not irritate people, but it also soothed Ji Zhong's mind.
This sound was still only audible to him.
The Xian Tian Palace's Martial Saint experts were oblivious to it and they could only let Ji Zhong lead the way.
Ji Zhong knew that his previous guess was right. The few big shots in Xian Tian Palace knew about his abnormality and they even knew more about it than he did.
When he tried to ask the elders in the sect, they said that they would accompany him to find out what was going on.
Yet, there were so many of them and they were all the best experts in the palace. Clearly, they were prepared.
Ji Zhong even saw a few elders who were supposed to be in closed-door cultivation.
He didn't question or resist, he followed the voice in his heart and decisively led the way.
Ji Zhong also wanted to know where the voice in his heart came from and what was the secret behind it.
As for whether there would be any danger, the young man wasn't worried.
On the one hand, he was young but he had already seen through life and death.
On the other hand, for the past half a year, he had been receiving special treatment from Mister Zun every ten days and he had already done it for more than twenty times …
Although it might not be foolproof, at least he had done his best. Silence was the only thing that Ji Zhong could hear the mysterious phoenix cry in his heart.
Finally, he found his way to the Parasol Forest step by step.
Behind him, the former Elder Qian Tian and the new palace master of Xian Tian Palace, You Hao, walked forward slowly without any expression on his face.
Beside You Hao were Elder Zhenlei Mu Chao, Elder Xun Feng Yue Zhengbo, Elder Gen Shan Xue Hongxun, and the number one of the younger generation in Xian Tian Palace, Wang Zhang.
Other than them, the new Elder Li Huo Wang Mingshou and the others followed closely behind.
Although Elder Kun Di Nie Guanhe, Elder Kan Shui Shen Tu Hou, and Elder Dui Ze Shi Rong stayed behind to manage the Xian Tian Palace, most of the top experts in Xian Tian Palace were also deployed.
The lineup of Martial Saints looked inconspicuous on the outside but the pressure on the inside was overwhelming.
Everyone was Silence, waiting for Ji Zhong's movement in silence.
Ji Zhong stayed in the Parasol Forest for a long time before he set off again.
You Hao and the others immediately followed.
Elder Xun Feng Yue Zhengbo reported to You Hao softly, "There seems to be some movement in Southern Chu, the Ancient God's Chen Luoyang has gone missing after leaving the headquarter."
Theoretically speaking, it would be easier to hide the news if one or two experts secretly led Ji Zhong out.
If a large number of experts were to move out together, it would be more eye-catching and attract attention.
Today's matter should be kept as secret as possible.
No one knew about it, and that was the best protection.
However, when Chen Luoyang and Cheng Yingtian mysteriously interfered in the Xian Tian Palace's internal strife, You Hao and the others were not sure how much they knew about Ji Zhong.
Especially Cheng Yingtian.
Be it Chen Luoyang or Cheng Yingtian, they were both very strong.
And the divinatory signs that they measured before were unpredictable and there was a great danger lurking ….
Left with no other choice, Xian Tian Palace sent out a large number of experts just in case.
At the same time, they had no idea what was going on in the legendary Xian Tian Tomb, so they could only try their best to prepare.
If necessary, they would not hesitate to fight head-on.
The reason why they overthrew the Shan Family in the Xian Tian Palace was for this day. Today's matter could affect the fate of the entire Xian Tian Palace, there was no room for failure. You Hao and the others could only cast aside their worries and give it their all.
"Focus on the present and be alert at all times." You Hao said.
Elder Xun Feng, Le Zhengbo, nodded and said nothing else.
In the eyes of the elders, the [Innate Eight Trigrams] appeared as they calculated the details of today's trip.
But it was not that they could avoid the danger just like that.
On the contrary, the Xian Tian Palace's people were actually guarding against others that could deceive their senses and mislead them.
Others aside, You Hao was very clear that Cheng Yingtian was Mister Tianji's son, and his attainments in the pure Xian Tian Palace's direct lineage arts were no weaker than his [Southern Chu Glorious Chart].
And the Ancient God's [Fuxi Yi Tian Scripture] was also very powerful.
Although the Xian Tian Palace's people didn't recognize it as the true Fuxi, they had never looked down on it.
Today's matter was very important, they couldn't be too careful.
At this time, deep in the Parasol Forest, Ji Zhong who was leading the way suddenly stopped.
The Xian Tian Palace's people frowned.
They all realized that Ji Zhong seemed to be different from before.
While they were vigilant of the outside world, they quickly went forward to take a look.
In Ji Zhong's eyes, there was also the [Innate Eight Trigrams] that shone brightly.
His vision slowly solidified and landed on the ground in front of him.
You Hao and the others held their breaths.
The scene in front of them was not something that Ji Zhong could create with his current cultivation level, it should be some kind of change happening in his body.
Wherever Ji Zhong looked, the ground in the Wutong Forest had become transparent and clear like the surface of water.
When they looked down, they realized that they were looking up at the sky.
