Longyang Princess grew even more annoyed, but then she said helplessly, "Child, why won’t you listen to others? Oh well, it’s just a matter of a few days, do as you wish."
"I know my limits."
As Chu Shentong spoke, he tightly grasped the star disk in his hand; "It’s just that I’m a bit worried once Father resolves the backlash, I fear—"
"You’re worried that Chu Rulai will take back the ’Wanxiang Star Disk’?"
Longyang Princess laughed, "Your father must have told you to temporarily keep it for safekeeping. Don’t worry, since it has reached your hands, it’s yours now. Why do you think your uncle agreed to open the Dominating Martial King’s Tomb and exhu the body?"
"Your Majesty?"
Chu Shentong’s eyes brightened, revealing a hint of joy.
He put down his concerns and fondly caressed the star disk, speaking with confusion, "I still don’t understand why this divine artifact is so difficult for Father to refine.
How could that Chu Zheng still be alive? I clearly saw him nailed inside the coffin, even a coffin within a coffin, seven levels deep. The Dragon-breaking Stone of the Dominating Martial King’s Tomb was also personally placed by Father, Chu Zheng should be without any sign of life."
"In this vast world, nothing is impossible."
Longyang Princess nonchalantly clasped her hands behind her back, "Whatever the situation, we will know in two days. If he’s still alive, we’ll just bury him again. If he’s dead, we’ll make sure he’s dead for good."
She then turned her gaze towards the north, where the Dominating Martial King’s Tomb was located, "This ti, opening the tomb serves two purposes: to confirm Chu Zheng’s life or death and to take his flesh and blood to understand why this divine artifact has yet to recognize a new master.
But it’s been over two years since Chu Zheng’s death, he should be nothing but a corpse now. Speaking of this child, he’s quite unfortunate—"
Just as Longyang Princess spoke to this point, her expression suddenly changed slightly.
Longyang Princess’s spiritual sense surprisingly detected multiple powerful energies appearing all around.
They burst into the villa with lightning speed, unstoppable along the way, swiftly reaching near the inner courtyard, forming an encirclent.
At this mont, the Chu family’s house guards finally reacted. The courtyard was filled with shouts and battle cries, along with the explosive sound of Vigorous Force and clashing weapons.
"Who are you people? Don’t you know where you are?"
"Where do you rats co from, daring to intrude on the Western Capital Chu Family."
"Where did these petty thieves co from, co and et your death!"
"Rebellion and attacking the residence of the lifeti-appointed Minister of Ministry of Criminal Justice, you must have a death wish."
Longyang Princess’s brow furrowed into a ’川’ shape.
These invaders were advancing rapidly, their strikes ruthless and rciless. Several had already penetrated into the inner courtyard, leaving no survivors along the way.
"Princess, it should be the remnants of the eldest branch!"
With this voice, a figure floated to Longyang Princess’s side.
It was an elegant middle-aged man, with a fair complexion and smooth chin, his voice sharp and high-pitched, clearly a eunuch.
He hovered in mid-air, his form flickering like a ghost shadow, "Divine Fist Judge Xibi Tian, I’ve sensed his punching power."
"Xibi Tian!" Longyang Princess’s pupils widened, then she sneered disdainfully, "Daring to play tough here? What gall, does he really think he ranks twenty-seventh on the Earthly List?"
Chu Shentong also stood up, cradling the ’Wanxiang Star Disk’, looking ahead with interest, "This opponent seems decent enough, it may not be a bad idea to test him later."
He could test the power of this divine artifact through Xibi Tian.
Although he couldn’t fully refine the ’Wanxiang Star Disk’, he could utilize three-tenths of its power with his Chu family bloodline.
"Nonsense!" Longyang Princess’s face turned stern, her tone indisputable, "Though Xibi Tian doesn’t live up to his na, his strength is still within the top two hundred of the Earthly List. Can you compete with him now? Even if you had fully refined the ’Wanxiang Star Disk’, you must be cautious, let alone now?"
If Chu Shentong forcibly engaged with Xibi Tian, he would surely suffer severe backlash from the ’Wanxiang Star Disk’.
But what worried Longyang Princess more was the strength of these Chu family remnants.
These people had survived over two years of court pursuit, yet their overall strength hadn’t declined; instead, their combat power had significantly increased. The nurous guards of the Chu family’s West Courtyard were no match.
"This is troubleso."
The middle-aged eunuch spoke again, "I used a Secret Technique to call for help from the Inner Palace just now, but it was already intercepted. There’s a highly-skilled mage of Second Grade or above, cutting us off from inside and outside. Princess, the protective array here is probably unreliable now. For safety, we must leave this place first."
Longyang Princess was taken aback by his words, and a hint of gravity finally appeared in her eyes.
However, her deanor remained unruffled, "For a dozen sneaky rodents, why should I flee? I shall et them here."
Her confidence stemd from her own Second Grade cultivation; secondly, from this eunuch nad Gao Han by her side.
This man was unknown, but his cultivation was as high as Second Grade, and his strength could even rival the mid-range Earthly List. He was a top expert nurtured by the Imperial Inner Palace, having followed her since childhood.
Although Xibi Tian traversed the world with his Hundred-step Divine Fist and movent techniques, Gao Han could suppress Xibi Tian due to his unique cultivation.
