Within the Imperial Palace of the Xingyun Dynasty, Bao was within the training grounds attached to his courtyard.
Sitting in a cross-legged position, he had his eyes closed as he took deep breaths before releasing them slowly.
Each time he did, the Fire Qi in the surroundings would dance around erratically as if they were in a crazed state.
Suddenly, a figure in red robes appeared a distance away. He was the head of the crown prince’s army.
Since Bao was the Crown Prince and would eventually take the throne, the Emperor had entrusted a sizable army for him to rule over and manage. This was to develop his leadership skills, as well as make him get familiar with having command over his subjects.
After the red-robed man appeared Bao did not open his eyes and only said, “Unit Commander Zhang, what would warrant you interrupting my meditation session?”

Within an open area in Bao’s courtyard, Long Wei and Longmin along with Bao were seated at a table.Suddenly a servant came up to the table with a tray and place down three cups of tea and a small pot for them. After that, he bowed and left the area.Picking up the tea in front of him and after blowing on it for a moment, Bao took a casual sip, before speaking up and said, “So you're saying that a Rank 5 demonic beast was acting like a bodyguard for a girl, who was supposedly a demonic beast as well?”After Bao summarize what he had been told by Long Wei, he stared at him wanting confirmation.Long Wei nodded at him and said, “Yeah that’s the gist of it.”Thinking for a moment, Bao’s expression turn serious, which was immediately noticed by Long Wei.Bao then turn to Long Wei, and with a serious expression he asked, &
“The shocking events that played out at the wedding went something like this…”“Who everyone thought to be Wuzhou was actually his elder brother that had used a special ability of the Fire Phoenix Beast Clan’s quasi Divine treasure, to disguise as him. During the wedding, he was close enough to Dongmei to take her hostage and threaten the Ice Phoenix Clan. In order to save her daughter, the Ice Phoenix Beast King proposed to take her own life but have the Fire Phoenix Beast King swear a blood oath to not raise a hand at the Ice Phoenix Beast Clan until another Saint Realm cultivator appears in their ranks. And just like that, the Ice Phoenix Beast king killed herself after the Fire Phoenix made the oath. But as you can imagine, the Fire Phoenix Beast King broke the blood oath and started exterminating the Ice Phoenix Bloodline with their main target being the daughter of Dongmei and Wuzhou. Even though Wuzhou was not liked by his f
After being shocked for a moment, Li Fang finally regain his composure and pulled his grip from Longmin’s hold.“It’s the first time someone has discovered me when I use my concealment ability.”Bao looked at Li Fang and said in a perplexed tone, “Junior brother Fang I didn’t know you had such abilities. Were you hiding it all this time?”Li Fang smiled and began walking around the table to sit at the empty side. After sitting Li Fang poured himself a cup of tea while saying, “You guys weren’t the only ones that were improving over the past few years. And as for my concealment ability, well, Sying Mu and Yuyan is not the only one who had tapped into their Legendary Physique.”Soon after Li Fang finished saying that, Long Wei scowled at him and said, “How long were you listening to us? And who do think you are trying to sneak attack me
Coughing for a moment, Bao then looked at Longmin’s rather handsome appearance, which Bao was quite unwilling to admit was better than his own, before looking at Long Wei’s simple and average face.He knew that Long Wei was always wearing his disguises and he had never seen his true appearance even till now, but since Li Fang said both him and Longmin were twins, he couldn’t help but feel a bit strange knowing Long Wei had always had looks better than him, he just felt the news to be too sudden.Long Wei was looking at Li Fang with slight surprise, while Longmin took the words out of his out by asking the question, “How did you see through elder brother’s disguise?”“Oh, so this brat’s the older twin, no wonder he’s so annoying.”After not seeing this bastard for nearly three years, Long Wei had completely forgotten his hatred for Li Fang, b
After a while, Long Wei completely emptied the cup before he slammed it down onto the table.He then turn to look at Longmin, who in turn also looked towards him.Without saying anything Long Wei nodded his head, and then turn to Bao and Li Fang who were conversing and said, “Well, it wasn’t a pleasure seeing you both, so my brother and I will take our leave now.”Longmin had already begun getting up with Long Wei following behind him.Bao, upon hearing Long Wei’s words, turned to look at him.He then thought to himself, ‘Father had probably intended for me to accompany them to buy time for the news to reach the Wu Clan's ears.’With that thought in mind, Bao suddenly spoke up and said to the two brothers, “Are you both planning on leaving the Continent?”Long Wei paused his steps and turn t
When Long Wei heard that his face scrunched up in confusion before he asked again, “Why does the second prince of the Xingyun Dynasty live in an isolated pavilion in the guest quarters when he visits? Isn’t he supposed to have a courtyard for himself somewhere else?”The servant still had to listen carefully to understand Long Wei’s slurred words, but he managed to and his face was covered in hesitation, before he slowly said, “Um.. honored guest, it was the second prince’s choice to have this arrangement.”With the frown still on his face, Long Wei asked again, “Why?”Hearing his question, the servant became even more hesitant and a little nervous as well. As a servant, he didn’t want to speak about the matters involving the second prince, but he didn’t want to offend this guest by not answering either.Just as the servant was wonderi
The Divine Merchant Guild Auction is the biggest auction held on the Central Continent by the well-known Divine Merchant Guild.They are one of if not the biggest suppliers of various cultivation resources on not only the Central Continent but the entire planet Daiyu. Wait no! That’s not right either, they’re actually the biggest supplier of cultivation resources between all of the four planets in this Lower Realm.Rumors say that they are owned by a powerful family on planet Lin that goes by the name of the Fang Clan.For some people, it was really hard to believe that a force that spans an entire Lower Realm was owned by one clan, but if you were to believe further rumors which stated that their Founding Ancestor was an Immortal, then the fact that they have such wealth and power to stretch an entire Lower Realm wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.Powerful clans like them
The disciples from the Blood Continent just have too bad of a reputation and no one wanted to be associated with them or be in an area where there was a possibility of encountering one of those cold-blooded savages.With a significant number of the crowd leaving, the people who hadn’t heard the news became confused, but once they were told, each and every one of them scrunched up their faces before quickly leaving the area.But even so, there were quite a few of them that stayed as they were unwilling to miss an opportunity such as this to see so many geniuses gathered in one place.On the first day of the four-day auction, they prayed that maybe those from the Blood Continent wouldn’t appear until the latter days.As that was happening among the crowd, a swooshing sound suddenly echoed in the distant horizon, and the people in the crowd looked towards it, only to stare wide-eyed in astonishment as a large and majestic phoenix made of pure fire approached this area at blind speed.In
