h, you really can't do anything to him." Zuo Hongru touched his chin and showed a sinister smile. "Fine, forget about this, I'll handle it myself."Zhao Jidao breathed a sigh of relief."That's all for...Hearing this, Xiang Tianhe's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "This is not an important question."

The masked man looked at Xiang Tianhe and said, "Fang Yu won't help you without enough compensation."

"You only need to know that the reward I offered impressed Fang Yu." Xiang Tianhe also turned to look at the masked man, narrowing his eyes and saying.

At this moment, Xiang Tianhe was filled with majesty in his expression, and his eyes held a warning.

The mysterious masked man has helped him quite a bit.

The interrogative tone of the masked man made him feel very uncomfortable.

He is unwilling to answer this question!

"Oh, I see." The masked man nodded gently and didn't press the topic further. Instead, he said, "I still want to remind you that the prince returning to the East Palace is the best opportunity to make a move."

Xiang Tianhe frowned and said, "I said, it's not allowed to fight within the imperial city..."

"What the Heavenly Palace desires is nothing more than the Eternal Dynasty," the masked man said calmly. "No matter when the Prince meets with misfortune, they will always point the finger of blame at Your Majesty, there's no need to worry about this."

At the sound of these words, Xiang Tianhe's face changed.

"So, perhaps going against the norm will yield unexpected results," the masked man continued. "From an outsider's perspective, most people would naturally assume that His Majesty was responsible for what happened to the prince in the Imperial City. But if we delve deeper, wouldn't it be logical that His Majesty, knowing he would be suspected by most, wouldn't take such a risk"

"With such a doubt, things would be much better."

Besides, since you've invited Fang Yu to take action... as long as there's enough commotion, Fang Yu can help deflect a lot of the attention for you.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianhe's eyes flickered, and he began to think seriously.

That is true.

If the Crown Prince must be eliminated, then his careful consideration of the past and future is meaningless.

The conflict between the Crown Prince and him was well-known throughout the entire imperial city, and even across the entire Nanjiang region.

Therefore, if the prince were to show himself, he would inevitably be suspected.

Since that's the case, why not just strike within the imperial city itself!

If Fang Yu takes action and utilizes public opinion, perhaps they could really evade the Heavenly Palace's revenge!

Even able to pit Tiangong and Fangyu against each other, reaping the benefits of their conflict!

But, would Fang Yu be willing to make a move in the Eastern Palace Xiang Tianhe's eyes flickered slightly, thinking to himself.

"Your compensation is generous enough, I think he won't refuse."

At that moment, the masked man, as if he knew what Xiang Tianhe was thinking, spoke.

Xiang Tianhe came back to his senses and turned to look at the masked man.

"Your Majesty, this is my suggestion. Please consider it carefully." The masked man spoke, stepping back as his form gradually faded until he vanished completely, once again hidden in the darkness.

Xiang Tianhe watched the place where the masked man disappeared, his brows furrowed, his eyes becoming sinister.

This masked man's origins are extremely mysterious, and to this day, Xiang Tianhe doesn't know what kind of face is hidden beneath the mask.

And, the masked man also learned many secrets about him.

This is definitely not a good thing.

As of now, Xiang Tianhe still needs the help provided by the masked man.

Or perhaps… he's not quite able to shake his dependence on the masked man yet.

Without the mask man, Xiang Tianhe wouldn't have been able to firmly sit in his current position back then.

As time went on, the Man in the Mask gave him a feeling that was increasingly off.

Gradually, Xiang Tianhe didn't trust the people in masks as much anymore.

He wanted to know who the masked man really was, why he chose to help him, and for so many years.

There is no such thing as selfless kindness in this world.

He was certain the masked man helped him for a reason, wanting something in return.

But he could never figure out the answer.

What pains him most is that Xiang Tianhe didn't even get a chance to investigate the Mask Man.

The guards of the palace were extremely strict, but the masked man treated them as if they were nothing. He came and went as he pleased.

Even Xiang Tianhe couldn't catch a trace of the masked man.

This was the thing that worried him most.

Because, the masked man could come to his side at any time, so if he ever harbored ill intentions and wanted to secretly assassinate Xiang Tianhe... it would be extremely easy.

"Oh…"

Xiang Tianhe rubbed his temples and sighed.

He is in a very difficult situation right now, with wolves at his front door and tigers behind him.

It was precisely because of this that he was willing to pay a huge price to hire Fang Yu and help him deal with the wolf in front of him.

Only by dealing with the wolf in front of him could he free himself to confront the tiger behind.

"To take action within the Imperial City…" Xiang Tianhe gritted his teeth, his eyes hardening with determination.

……

Fang Yu and Xu JiaLu successfully brought back 338 spirit beasts to the Yuhua Gate.

Chen Ye saw the numerous demonic spirits following Fang Yu, and almost lost control. His cultivation aura was already surging.

As for Little Creek and those three little ones, they were also frightened white as sheets.

Only Zhonghun remained composed, but his brow was furrowed, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

"Master, these are..." Chen Ye looked at the terrifying demonic spirits behind Fang Yu and asked.

"From today on, they will become the guardians of our Yuhua Sect," Fang Yu introduced with a smile.

“Ah!” Chen Ye was stunned.

"Don't be too surprised, the sect leader has already tamed these demonic spirits. They are definitely different from the demonic spirits you imagined." Xu Jia Lu said.

Fang Yu turned around, facing those demonic spirits, and said: “You all remember this, from now on, anyone within the Feather Transformation Sect are the ones you must protect. You absolutely cannot harm them, or else, I will roast you.”

"...Yes!"

Fāng Yǔ suddenly turned around, causing these demonic spirits' bodies to tremble and they all knelt down in fear.

Seeing this, Chen Ye and Zhong Chen's faces were filled with shock and confusion.

"These were all brought out from the Myriad Demon's Nest... " Chen Ye looked at Xu Jia Lu and asked.

"Well," Xu Jia lu replied, "or do you think we came into the giant nest twice for nothing It's for this group of old monsters!"

"But this group of demonic spirits..." Chen Ye swallowed.

He still couldn't accept the reality before him.

These vicious demons, in Fang Yu's presence, acted with such respect and fear, not even daring to raise their heads.

This is completely different from the terrifying demonic images I had in mind!

And even stranger, these demonic spirits bore no wounds.

This indicates that... Fang Yu hadn't even laid a hand on them!

Never laid a hand... What made these spirit demons bow to him

Chen Ye was full of doubts.

"At first, I was just as shocked as you were, but then it clicked." Xu Jialu looked at Chen Ye and smiled faintly.

"What did you figure out" Chen Ye asked.

“That is, don't try to understand this situation, go feel it.” Xu Jia Lu said.

"...Chen Ye didn't say anything more, he just widened his eyes, looking at the group of trembling demon spirits kneeling on the ground.""Big, Old Master..." Si Nanming and the other core members of the Si Nan clan's direct lineage all stared in shock and disbelief.They could see that the current situation on the road to Sīnán... was n...
