We Agreed You’d Just Play the Divine Son, So How Did You Become the Forbidden Zone Emperor? Chapter 6 : Chapter 6
Chapter 6. Placing All Their Hopes on Him—Still Not Exposed!
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Chengfeng’s pupils contracted sharply.
He had just intended to secretly send his two daughters away, and in the very next mont, the Situ Family had already arranged informants.
The room fell silent. One could have heard a pin drop.
“Have they already begun to suspect us?”
Shangguan Chengfeng spoke slowly, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
After a long while, he let out a breath and said steadily, “There is no need to worry too much.”
The Shangguan sisters and his trusted subordinate were both startled.
No need to worry?
In a low voice, Shangguan Chengfeng continued, “They are rely monitoring the Shangguan Family. They have not confird that Chu Feng is an impostor.”
The confidant could not help but whisper, “But, Patriarch… once they grow suspicious, if this matter reaches the royal family…”
Shangguan Chengfeng’s tone remained calm, his expression indifferent. “Chu Feng has already gone to the royal family. He has not been exposed.”
“What does a re Situ Family amount to? As long as Chu Feng deceives the royal family, there will be a turning point!”
Although he spoke with confidence, Shangguan Chengfeng could not suppress a sigh in his heart.
To deceive the royal family—how difficult would that be?
Originally, his plan had been to stall for a short ti, then arrange a contingency and send his two legitimate daughters away.
At the very least, he had to leave behind a trace of bloodline for the Shangguan Family.
Yet he had never expected events to spiral beyond his control. The Situ Family had already set their sights on them.
With his seasoned experience, Shangguan Chengfeng knew very well that if he made any move at this mont—if he attempted to send his daughters away—
it would certainly alert the Situ Family. At that ti, the other party would only deepen their suspicions.
The best course of action now was to remain still.
They could only wait quietly for news from the royal family…
As long as Chu Feng was not exposed, what use would the Situ Family’s suspicions be?
No matter how bold they were, they would not dare, without evidence, to report to the Great Chu royal family that the Third Prince was an impostor.
To do so would be tantamount to slapping the royal family in the face.
The Situ Family would face reckoning as well.
Shangguan Chengfeng’s expression remained composed as he said in a deep voice, “Pass down my order. The Shangguan Family will proceed as usual. Do not let a single whisper leak out.”
“Yes!” The trusted subordinate nodded slightly and withdrew.
Inside the room, only the father and his two daughters remained.
Shangguan Chengfeng’s gaze grew solemn as he looked toward the direction of the Great Chu royal family.
That young man possessed extraordinary composure. With nothing but the body of an ordinary mortal, he had been able to speak confidently before him, his mind steady as Mount Tai.
Yet the royal family was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea. Countless ancient monsters lurked within. As a prince, it would be impossible to avoid contact with those old beings.
At this point, Shangguan Chengfeng had no other choice. He could only pray that Chu Feng would manage to conceal the truth.
……
The war chariot, drawn by the Scarlet Firmant Fla-Winged Beast, strode across the void. Its thunderous rumble rolled across the heavens.
Seated within, Chu Feng looked down below, occasionally seeing people whose faces were filled with reverence—so even kneeling in worship.
As a prince, he stood high above all, his divine authority towering over the masses. It was only natural for commoners to kneel in respect at his sight.
RUMBLE…
At that mont, Chu Feng sensed the war chariot slowing down.
His expression sharpened, and his gaze burned brightly. “We have arrived!”
It seed they had reached the Great Chu royal family.
At that instant, a system notification resounded in his mind.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. Check-in location refreshed: Great Chu Imperial Palace. Would you like to check in?”
Chu Feng’s entire body trembled. Joy flashed in his eyes.
“It has finally co! The System’s first check-in!”
Excitent he could barely suppress spread across his face. He had waited an unbearably long ti for this mont.
“Check in!”
Chu Feng responded inwardly without hesitation.
After transmigrating here with nothing but the body of a mortal, he had first been coerced by the Shangguan Family. Then he had to impersonate a prince before the prince’s personal guards and before the colossal power that was the Situ Family.
Though he had not slipped up, the pressure had been imnse.
All of it stemd from one problem—he had no trump card. If he possessed one, what would he have to fear?
He could only hope that the reward from this Check-In System would not disappoint him.
Sure enough, in the next mont, the System’s voice rang out again.
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. Successfully checked in at: Great Chu Imperial Palace!”
“Reward obtained: Chaos Dual Pupils!”
“Chaos Dual Pupils: Born at the dawn of chaos, the eyes in which all laws converge into one. Those who possess the Chaos Dual Pupils can see through falsehood, command chaos, and glimpse a corner of fate. When cultivated to the utmost peak, once the dual pupils open, winds and clouds reverse, thunder is extinguished, and all Daos collapse!”
Buzz…
After the System’s voice faded, Chu Feng’s eyes suddenly changed.
His ordinary pupils overlapped into a double-layered form. The inner ring was pitch-black like primordial chaos, while the outer ring bore golden supre patterns.
As his eyes opened and closed, wisps of chaotic energy escaped, as though heaven and earth were about to lose their color, and the sun, moon, and stars were dimming.
However, Chu Feng quickly shut his eyes and shifted his thoughts slightly.
When he opened them again, they appeared completely normal.
A trace of astonishnt flickered within him. The System’s description of the Chaos Dual Pupils had been overwhelmingly powerful.
After fusing with them, he could clearly feel a heaven-shaking transformation within himself.
“Those who possess the Chaos Dual Pupils can see through falsehood, command chaos, and glimpse a fragnt of fate…”
Chu Feng pondered inwardly. With a subtle movent of his gaze, he looked at the Forbidden Army Guard waiting outside the war chariot—and saw straight through him.
His limbs and bones, ridians and dantian, his approximate cultivation level, the techniques and divine abilities he practiced, even the weapons he trained with—
Chu Feng perceived them all at a single glance.
Everyone carried their own hidden trump cards.
And nothing was more taboo than having those trump cards exposed.
Yet with the Chaos Dual Pupils, he could see through illusions. At the very least, everything about this Forbidden Army Guard was laid bare before him.
“This man’s cultivation is at the peak of the Life Palace Realm,” Chu Feng thought.
An existence so heaven-defying would prove even more valuable in battle.
Just then—
From outside the war chariot ca the respectful voice of a guard. “Your Highness, we have arrived.”
Chu Feng nodded slightly.
After fusing with the Chaos Dual Pupils, his temperant had undergone a sudden transformation. He felt as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea. Even without cultivation, he exuded a sense of complete control.
He stepped down from the war chariot and looked up.
He had already entered the Imperial Palace.
The Great Chu Imperial Palace stretched for thousands of miles, endless and vast.
Palaces were scattered like stars across the sky, without a visible end. Towering walls rose to et the heavens, carved with dragons and phoenixes.
The mont he stepped inside, Chu Feng’s gaze sharpened. Within his vision, a massive National Guardian Array shimred faintly with divine radiance, enveloping the entire Great Chu Imperial Palace.
“So this is the effect of the dual pupils… I can actually see the National Guardian Array!”
He was inwardly astonished.
The National Guardian Array was an absolute state secret, sothing no ordinary person could know—yet Chu Feng had pierced through it directly with the Chaos Dual Pupils.
At this mont—
Behind him, the Forbidden Army Guard’s eyes darkened. Ever since Chu Feng had stepped out, he had been observing him in secret.
From the mont they left the Shangguan Family until they reached the Great Chu Imperial Palace, the guard had grown increasingly perplexed.
The current Chu Feng was completely different from the Third Prince in his mory.
They were like two entirely different people.
Now that Chu Feng had arrived at the royal family, he carried an even stronger sense of unfamiliarity, causing the guard’s suspicion to increase a hundredfold.
