Chapter 651: Heaven Heart Sect's Response

Great Qi Dynasty, Wangdu.

Inside the palace, Qi Ruohua saw Jing Yuheng and asked about the result of this matter.

Jing Yuheng reported everything in detail, without hiding anything.

"Is Mu Longhao dead?"

"Yes, he was killed by Chen Chuyang, which he himself said, so it's not false." Jing Yuheng trusts Chen Chuyang's words completely, with no doubt; if Chen Chuyang says Mu Longhao is dead, then he truly is dead.

Qi Ruohua nodded, having no doubt about this.

"What about the Demon King? He swallowed the dynasty's fortune golden dragon, yet there's no feedback."

After the fortune golden dragon was swallowed, it could never return; Qi Ruohua initially didn't plan to get it back, but still wanted to ask.

After all, the Demon King's existence severely provokes the dynasty's majesty; he must die.

Mu Longhao and the Demon King must both die; as for the fortune golden dragon, what harm would it do to give it to them?

"Your Majesty, the Demon King is dead, however."

"However what?"

"Its inner core was taken by Chen Chuyang, all of it taken by him; whether it's truly dead I don't know, subordinate doesn't know."

Jing Yuheng thought, then continued: "After the matter ended, the White Deer King sought out Chen Chuyang; what they talked about, what they traded, I don't know; according to my guess, it's likely about the Demon King."

"The Demon King is likely still alive."

Finally, this guess, which Jing Yuheng didn't want to say, but thinking of Qi Ruohua's character, he gritted his teeth and told her.

Qi Ruohua's eyes turned cold, staring at Jing Yuheng.

"Are you sure?"

Jing Yuheng shook his head: "Subordinate dares not be certain, so I hesitated about whether to inform Your Majesty."

Qi Ruohua closed her eyes; since the White Deer King came to her door, it indicates this matter is likely true.

The Demon King is probably not dead.

Chen Chuyang and the White Deer King reached a deal; the Demon King is still alive, possibly needing to retrain and find a new body; with the White Deer King's help, this would be simple.

With the White Deer King's methods, the Demon King will soon rise; then, perhaps?

What is the content of their transaction?

This is what Qi Ruohua most wants to know, but Chen Chuyang said nothing and revealed nothing.

"Go to Longshe Shan and inquire about the specific situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jing Yuheng didn't want to go, but she knew that if she didn't go to clarify, Your Majesty would not be at ease.

Besides her, no one else can enter, nor even see Chen Chuyang.

"Leave this matter to you; ensure the information is accurate."

"The existence of the Demon King is a great disgrace to the Great Qi Dynasty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jing Yuheng knows Your Majesty's thinking; if there's an opportunity, he will naturally kill the Demon King.

But it's unlikely; the Demon King is in the Monster Race's territory, which she cannot enter and dares not enter.

In the Monster Race's territory, there are many strong ones; the White Deer King alone is enough to make them fear and dread.

The Black Dragon Guard is too weak; the Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu will no longer act with her, and she cannot command the Demon-Subduing Army either.

The White Wolf and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Masters have matters to attend to; the clans in the capital need to be watched; Your Majesty, you should act against those families.

Jing Yuheng turned and left, heading for Longshe Shan.

Qi Ruohua took out a jade slip, looked at it, and found no explanation from Chen Chuyang.

There was no news at all; she put it down and gazed toward the location of Longshe Shan.

"Chen Chuyang, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"The Demon King, letting the tiger return to the mountain—this monster is very dangerous."

This is not Chen Chuyang's usual style; his doing so shows it benefits him.

What benefit did the White Deer King give, that could make Chen Chuyang spare the Demon King?

These questions are many, piling up in her heart; Qi Ruohua is very tired.

After taking this position, not only is there no ease, but even greater fatigue.

Soon after, the Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu arrived.

"Your Majesty."

"Fifth Brother has come, please sit."

The Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu sat down, looking at his weary elder sister the Empress, and felt no desire for this position.

The Emperor's position looks like supreme power, yet it is exhausting.

Cultivation time is reduced; most of the time is spent dealing with all kinds of messy affairs.

Inside the dynasty, there are too many problems.

These problems press upon the elder sister alone; she will be extremely tired.

"May I ask what orders Your Majesty has?"

Qi Ruohua pressed her hand down: "No orders, I just wanted to chat with you."

Qi Mingyu frowned; this is not like the elder sister's usual style.

"If Your Majesty has something to say, just order it directly; no need for this."

Qi Ruohua saw the panicked younger brother, smiled, and said: "No need to be nervous; how has your cultivation been lately? Are resources still sufficient?"

"Sufficient; the elixirs Your Majesty gave are effective; give the younger brother a few more years, and he can guarantee reaching the peak of Golden Core."

"Good, very good, the royal younger brother's talent indeed did not disappoint me."

"Qi Ruohua spread out a hand and handed a bottle of elixir to the royal younger brother."

"Royal younger brother, you must strive harder in your cultivation; the dynasty needs you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The Fifth Prince, Qi Mingyu, rose and bowed respectfully."

"Another bottle of elixir; he needed it badly—this battle let him see his own weakness."

"Especially the scenes of Chen Chuyang Protector Lingjian Zhenren, the memory remains vivid."

"Royal younger brother, you are the dynasty's future; the elder sister looks favorably upon you."

"Yes."

"The Fifth Prince obtained the elixir, chatted about family matters for a while, then turned and left."

"Inside Dadian, only Qi Ruohua remained once again."

"The silent Dadian—you could hear a pin drop."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

"A lonely, widowed person, hehehe."

"Heavenly Heart Sect."

"Heavenly Dream Daoist looked at the woman before him, his eyes glimmering."

"Are you Shang Hongchen?"

"Shang Hongchen bowed respectfully and saluted: 'Shang Hongchen greets my uncle-master.'"

"Heavenly Dream Daoist carefully sized up the woman before him; she was outstanding, yet ultimately still a bit weak."

"Within the Heavenly Heart Sect, there aren't tens of thousands of disciples like this, but there are several thousand."

"Not even having reached Golden Core, ordinary disciples like this aren't qualified to be received by her."

"Raise your head."

"Shang Hongchen raised her head, heart pounding, not knowing what the uncle-master wanted from her."

"Her master's departure never returned; she worried and grew fearful."

"The Heavenly Heart Sect has seen many deaths in succession; the disciples below are panic-stricken."

"Shang Hongchen timidly looked at the Heavenly Dream uncle-master before her; this is the Heavenly Heart Sect's top combat power—normally it's hard to even get an audience, and after being on the mountain for so long, she is still seeing this uncle-master for the first time."

"Not bad, very not bad."

"Heavenly Dream Daoist exclaimed in admiration; Shang Hongchen's appearance is indeed not bad, a rare beauty in the making."

"Shang Hongchen dared not move, dared not speak."

"Her heart filled with anxiety, she only wanted to leave this place quickly."

"Heavenly Dream Daoist carefully sized her up, then waved a hand: 'No need to be nervous, please sit down.'"

"Shang Hongchen dared not sit down, stood respectfully, and did not dare to be presumptuous."

"Within the Heavenly Heart Sect, the hierarchy is strict; even among fellow disciples, one must observe propriety."

"If one offends others, the consequences are severe."
