They immediately sneered and approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei frowned at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan scrutinized the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two seemed to be disciples of the Praying Spirit Sect, their mental method akin to Wan Bicheng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, going by appearances, the two did not have as good a relationship with Zhao Rongfei as Wan Bicheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Great Masters formed two factions: one Praying Spirit Sect and Golden Saber Sect, the other Phoenix Sword Sect and Wuxiang Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei had a tenuous and somewhat strange relationship with the two Praying Spirit Sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sneered repeatedly, “Zhao, we’ve finally caught you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei frowned, “Song Wuyang, Tao Dongtian, that’s enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough?” the slender youth sneered, “Why didn’t you say enough when you stole our stuff?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Items with no owner, whoever gets them owns them. No need to cling to it, right?” Zhao Rongfei said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you used underhanded means!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not really underhanded, considering it’s you two against just me. How could I win without some strategy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In any case, we won’t let you, a vile person, off the hook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan remained silent throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivation levels of these two were no less than Zhao Rongfei’s; they were clearly also true disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already familiar with one true disciple of the Praying Spirit Sect, now another two arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei’s sharp face turned somber as he slowly said, “Fine, so what do you want to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s fight,” snorted the slender youth, “no tricks, just a straightforward fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Zhao Rongfei replied in a deep voice, “let’s fight then. When do we start?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where shall we fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outside the city!” snorted the slender youth, “So city guards don’t disrupt us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.” Zhao Rongfei stood up, then said with slight embarrassment, “Princely Heir, we’ll meet another day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “You’re okay with this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a spar, at most I’ll lose,” Zhao Rongfei laughed, “it’s not like it’ll end in death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded, clasped his fists, “Then see you later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Praying Spirit Sect youths looked at Chu Zhiyuan in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They heard Zhao Rongfei utter the words “Princely Heir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This puzzled them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being in Tianjing City all day, they knew all the princely heirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei snorted, “Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and strode out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two youths had no choice but to follow, casting another confused glance at Chu Zhiyuan as they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded too and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling and the two other women resumed their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Praying Spirit Sect, as expected, is quite arrogant!” snorted Shen Hanyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “Has Yao Yue Palace dealt with the Praying Spirit Sect before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve had several encounters,” said Xiao Ruoling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling smiled, “There are quite a few experts from Da Meng infiltrating our territory, mostly for intelligence gathering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan frowned, “I don’t think the Inspection Department has heard this news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We also have people infiltrating Da Meng to gather intel on them,” snorted Shen Hanyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan asked, “So who’s stronger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both sides win some and lose some,” Xiao Ruoling gently shook her head, “Their Four Great Sects are also strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Hanyue said, “The strongest is the Phoenix Sword Sect, the others aren’t as strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling looked at her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yingying said, “I think the strongest is the Praying Spirit Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Praying Spirit Sect is too clumsy,” snorted Shen Hanyue, “they’re all fools.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Sister!” Xiao Ruoling quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Hanyue pouted, “I’m just stating facts, they have strong physical cultivation, but they’re too slow and still use fist techniques.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “The Four Great Sects here all have their unique strengths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to check out that Cave Mansion?” Shen Hanyue eagerly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yingying immediately got excited, “What exactly is this Cave Mansion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling said, “We’d best not join the excitement, it will cause trouble, and the impact is too large.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they are outsiders, and this Cave Mansion belongs to Da Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they act rashly, they will certainly become the public enemy of all Da Meng martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be detrimental to the negotiations between Da Jing and Da Meng, sacrificing too much for small gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “The Cave Mansion isn’t that easy to enter, we should focus on dealing with the Evil Sect instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh…” Shen Hanyue and Xu Yingying immediately felt disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling shot a glance at Shen Hanyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Hanyue quickly said, “Alright, alright, we won’t join the excitement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they finished eating and walked outside, they ran into Zhao Rongfei returning in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “Did you win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei smiled sheepishly, “A lucky victory, Princely Heir, I wish to ask something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “Let’s talk as we walk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exited the tavern and entered the bustling street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Chi and the four of them, commanding their guards, surrounded and protected them, ever vigilant for assassins from the Evil Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan walked leisurely and asked with a smile, “Brother Zhao, what is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei hesitated for a moment, then said with slight embarrassment, “Princely Heir, can you find a way to break the Evil Sect’s concealment technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “I’ve been trying, but haven’t found a solution yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei was unwilling, “Is there no way to solve it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “They might be harnessing the Outer Heaven Demonic Power, not just relying on a mental method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outer Heaven Demonic Power…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does your sect have a method to break the Outer Heaven Evil Power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our sect seems to have a treasured blade, the Evil-breaking Divine Blade, which can negate the Outer Heaven Demonic Power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “The Evil-breaking Divine Blade doesn’t seem effective against them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Rongfei said, “The Praying Spirit Sect seems to have a skill called Evil Extermination Divine Palm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “Evil Extermination Divine Palm?… It’s worth trying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll find Brother Wan to see if he can find it.” Zhao Rongfei quickly said and turned to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan suddenly grew interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could truly find a way to counter the Evil Sect’s concealment technique, it would be much more convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1358,"2026-06-03T09:58:17.452Z","2026-06-14T10:33:21.271Z",1,"novelbin.me","b611acd370f304b3a1ed14d7e03afae39ab33f8d7b4369d586e06dcc849a17a2","imperial-cultivation-chapter-566","imperial-cultivation-chapter-564",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
