Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 253 - 250 Interrogation

Li Hongzhao’s face changed slightly.

She glared angrily at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said inexplicably: "What do you mean by this, are you blaming me?"

"Chu Zhiyuan, it must be you who are causing trouble!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Your Highness, I would like to cause trouble, but how? Wasn’t I just sparring with you?"

"In any case, it’s definitely you!" Li Hongzhao gritted her pearly teeth and snorted, "Deceptive in many ways!"

Chu Zhiyuan blocked Xu Jingren, who was covering his face, and said with a smile, "Now I want to ask, who’s really deceptive in many ways? ... The Prince is certainly not the real Prince, so where is the real Prince?"

He shouted loudly, "Someone come here!"

"Here!" Gao Lingfeng’s voice came from a distance.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Bring the experts from the Military Suppression Department here to take a good look at the situation!"

"Yes!" Gao Lingfeng’s voice quickly faded away.

Li Hongzhao bit her red lips, feeling a strong urge to have someone stop Gao Lingfeng.

But seeing Chu Zhiyuan staring at her with a faint smile, she knew it was useless to stop him.

This was Yujing, not Tianjing.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Xu Jingren and said with a smile, "An expert of the Wuxiang Sect, honored to meet you."

Li Hongzhao said, "Chu Zhiyuan, are you satisfied now?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "It’s just a small matter, why would I be satisfied? ... I just didn’t expect to see this master’s true face so easily. May I know your distinguished name?"

"You’ve become pleased too soon!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "You’ve lost the Prince, how can Da Lie let this go?"

"Your Highness, even now, do you still want to deny it?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "If you lose, just admit it, wouldn’t it be straightforward?"

"Who said lost, the confrontation has just begun!" Li Hongzhao pouted, "How will you explain this to the Da Lie Dynasty? Their Prince came to Da Jing, and Da Jing lost him, doesn’t that mean you killed him?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then we can only find a way from this expert of the Wuxiang Sect and ask where the real Prince is hidden."

"Ridiculous!" Li Hongzhao became even more smug, "Do you think you can find out by asking? Does he know? ... Besides, how do you know he is from the Wuxiang Sect?"

"Which one from the Wuxiang Sect..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "Is it Sun Jiwei?"

He searched his mind for the Inspection Department’s records on the Wuxiang Sect.

The Inspection Department closely monitors Da Meng, and as one of Da Meng’s top Great Sects, the Wuxiang Sect is thoroughly investigated.

Including how many disciples the Wuxiang Sect has, their respective names, and even portraits of their appearances.

Outstanding disciples in the Innate realm have portraits, as well as Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.

Among them is this middle-aged man in front of him.

Sun Jiwei, forty-five years old, Grandmaster Fifth Layer Heaven, deeply proficient in the Great Formless Technique.

Considered flawless, with a great reputation.

Li Hongzhao’s expression changed slightly when she heard this name.

Chu Zhiyuan actually knew!

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Your Highness is involved in espionage, so you should know it’s not hard for me to know this name, right?"

Li Hongzhao snorted, "What other tricks do you have?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Sun, where have you hidden the Prince? Is it in Da Lie?"

"Hmm, if not Da Lie, then is it Da Jing, is it the Eastern Territory of Da Jing or near Yujing City?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Disguising as Xu Jingren consumes a lot of spirit and cultivation, so it wouldn’t be too far, it should be near Yujing, is it in Taizhou? ... Hmm, it’s in Taizhou."

"Chu Zhiyuan, how did you do it? How did you injure him?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "To injure a Grandmaster silently, isn’t it not possible by a Great Grandmaster?"

"Enough nonsense, it’s you!" Li Hongzhao had a strong premonition that it was Chu Zhiyuan who did it.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Your Highness saw it with your own eyes?"

Li Hongzhao coldly hummed and shouted, "Mr. Su."

Su Qiuyan’s voice came distantly, as if sounding leisurely from the horizon: "The Princely Heir has a Miracle Technique, which is a hidden Gang Qi that can injure others invisibly."

Li Hongzhao immediately glared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists towards the west, "Mr. Su, isn’t this against the rules?"

Su Qiuyan chuckled softly without speaking further.

Chu Zhiyuan said to Li Hongzhao, "In matters not involving life and death, one cannot seek assistance from a Great Grandmaster, that is the rule."

Li Hongzhao pouted, disregarding this altogether, directly saying, "What are you practicing?"

She secretly expelled the foreign force from her heart and found it extremely difficult.

No wonder it’s the Eighth Layer Heaven, her Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique divine but still far below the realm.

She could only have Mr. Su help her!

Xu Jingren, holding his chest, also glared over.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There are too many places suitable for hiding people in Taizhou City, and your spies in Taizhou City are numerous, indeed hard to find."

Li Hongzhao snorted, "You’re evading, what’s there that you can’t say?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It’s Your Highness who evaded first, ... from the west of Taizhou City? Because when the Prince enters the city, there must be a great spectacle, attracting too many people’s eyes, there must be extreme caution, ... entering from the east, exiting from the west, they would relax when leaving."

Li Hongzhao turned and blocked in front of Sun Jiwei, blocking Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze.

This was to prevent Chu Zhiyuan from further seeing through Sun Jiwei, thus preventing more leaks.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Actually, Your Highness, the best method is to directly kill him with a sword, then the Prince’s location would not be leaked."

"Ridiculous!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "You can do such a thing, but I cannot!"

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "There aren’t many streets west of Taizhou City, let’s count, there’s Xingfu Street, Yongfu Street, Changfu Street, Zhenfu Street, ... Hmm, on Yongfu Street."

Li Hongzhao turned her head to look at Sun Jiwei.

Sun Jiwei was already covering his face, outsiders couldn’t see his appearance.

Li Hongzhao glared at Chu Zhiyuan with a ghostly expression.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "The beginning of Yongfu Street, middle of the street, end of the street... street center... thanks to Mr. Sun."

Sun Jiwei hissed, "Your Highness, kill me!"

Li Hongzhao said irritably, "Why kill you now, if I wanted to kill you, I’d have done so earlier!"

Sun Jiwei gritted his teeth and glared viciously at Chu Zhiyuan, "It’s useless, he already left!"

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Whether he’s there or not, Mr. Sun you don’t know, right, Zou Fang."

Li Hongzhao smiled tenderly, "I’ll send a message right away to have them move."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then let’s see if Your Highness sends the message faster or if we do."

He sighed, "Your Highness, actually this move is quite clever, but unfortunately you encountered me."

"You meddle too much!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "Be careful, your life might not be long!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "No matter how much I meddle, it’s not as much as Your Highness, so let’s see whose methods prevail."

He waved and turned to leave.

Zou Fang followed closely behind.

Watching the disappearing back of Chu Zhiyuan, Li Hongzhao turned her head to look over.

Sun Jiwei bowed his head, "Sun is incompetent."

Li Hongzhao asked, "What exactly happened?"

Sun Jiwei gritted his teeth, "I was pierced by an invisible force through my Dantian, breaking my cultivation."

"How is that possible? His flying knife?" Li Hongzhao quickly asked.

Sun Jiwei shook his head, "Your Highness, it shouldn’t be a flying knife!"

"Then what is it?"

"It could be a finger force or something invisible."

"... This guy is too sinister!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "Did the Gang Qi fail to protect the body?"

"Xu Jingren is only of Innate cultivation, so I couldn’t maintain my protective Gang Qi externally."

Li Hongzhao gritted her red lips bitterly, "He exploited the weakness!"

"Your Highness, be careful of him, this move is too insidious, hard to guard against!"

"I have Gang Qi to protect my body, he can’t do anything to me!"

"The Gang Qi inside my Dantian couldn’t stop it."

"That’s because your realm is not as high as his, an Eighth Layer Heaven realm, shamelessly taking action, how could you defend against it?"

"That Xu Jingren’s position..."

"No need to worry, Da Jing’s communication speed is far inferior to ours."

"Yes."
