Chapter 904: The Hidden Threat
Everyone in the room was focused on Huang Yuchen. At this moment, everyone had realized that Huang Yuchen was now the only public witness to the Chihong Sect incident. He understood that all the secrets in it would be inevitable that they would become the target of public criticism.
Now, Wang Junliang suddenly realized why Huang Yuchen's information suddenly became so much. He had thought it was because of the Chihong Sect's dismissal of disciples. Now it seems that these things have obvious traces of human operations, with the purpose of making Huang Yuchen's whereabouts and appearance public.
The direction of disclosure is these organized groups of practitioners.
You should know that there are not only imperial forces in the entire Qitian territory, but also many sects and cultivation families. The Qitian Empire lives in peace with these forces through some means. However, now Qitian is in chaos, and Qitian internal forces are ready to move, waiting for an opportunity to spy on the holy weapons. And these various organizations hidden among the people are also time for them to surface.
The incident in the Eastern Palace that happened in Qitian before was because the Qitian Empire was extremely powerful at that time, and the Eastern Palace hid the matter very closely, so most of the forces were just spy on but did not take real action.
Until Huang Yuchen's identity was revealed, he only encountered the main harassment of Chihong Sect. In addition to Chihong Sect, Huang Yuchen still remembered that there was another force in Pingjin City at that time, but in the end they were repelled by Yu Sheng and others, and there was no news about them later.
These people have never appeared again.
At that time, Huang Yuchen was surrounded by Qi Zhengye Liu Xing'an, Yu Sheng Liu Yuan, and more than 100,000 troops from the Eastern Prince's Mansion were escorting him. Ordinary forces did not dare to contact him head-on.
But now...
Huang Yuchen frowned, and he suddenly realized that he had forgotten a large part of the crises, and these crises were something he had always lingered in his mind.
It was just because of a trip to Yongcheng in Chunhu that he almost forgot all this. He thought that the matter of Chihong Sect was over and the whole incident had come to an end.
But it is obviously not the case. The end of the Chihong Sect incident is just the beginning of everything.
He thought that now he only had to face the collapse of the Qitian Empire, the Tianqing City of the East Prince's Mansion of Cholera, the Shishiwai who did not know the ultimate goal, and the huge Chunhu Yongcheng.
The reality is that in the face of these crises, he also has to face the spying of almost all practitioners in the entire Qitian Empire, because the incident of Chihong Sect may represent the ultimate goal of all practitioners... eternal life.
"Duanmu Huai's pursuit of eternal life was almost well known." Jiying, who was standing beside him, looked at Huang Yuchen and whispered: "The appearance of the strange phenomenon behind him just confirms this."
"The Chihong Sect has dismissed a large number of disciples, and now even the mountain gate is closed. These actions make others feel that the Chihong Sect has obtained the secret of eternal life. Compared with those expelled Chihong Sect's outer disciples, you, the prince who was hidden in the East Prince's Mansion, can attract others' attention more."
Hearing Jiying's words, Huang Yuchen's brows frowned even tighter.
His idea is not wrong, he will inevitably be targeted by others. At this moment, he is like a treasure placed on the surface, just to see who can get it first.
Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and suddenly asked him a question: "Lao Zhuang, did the man in black caught yesterday ask? "Zhuang Lexian was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I have controlled the person, but I can't die. But didn't I check the city last night? I didn't have time to ask him."
As he said that, Zhuang Lexian felt strange, and then suddenly realized, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "Do you think..."
Huang Yuchen nodded and said, "Yes, I don't think he is from the Western Prince's Mansion."
"...Hmm." Zhuang Lexian also frowned slightly. If it hadn't been to investigate the entire Chikang City last night, he would naturally not have thought of this section.
But if this person didn't come to contact Huang Yuchen, they wouldn't have thought of investigating the entire Chikang City.
According to Huang Yuchen's previous plan, the next step is to advance towards Mingyuan City, and to take over Mingyuan City as soon as possible, gather strength to compete with the Western Prince's Mansion, and advance step by step towards the imperial capital.
Finally, the gathering of strength to compete with the entire Tianqing City is Huang Yuchen's overall plan.
But now, all these plans need to be changed.
"He shouldn't know much." Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and said, "But you have to figure out who he is, and don't hurt his life for the time being."
Zhuang Lexian nodded and said, "I am very good at this, just leave it to me."
After saying that, Zhuang Lexian stood up, left the hall, and headed towards the prison behind.
The prison in Chikang City is not big. It is just outside the Wu Mansion, and you can reach there directly through the path inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
At this moment, Wang Junliang seemed worried. He had never thought of these things before. If he hadn't discovered something strange about Chi Kangcheng, he wouldn't have linked these things together.
For a person who has been living in Chikang City, he did not pay attention to the situation in Chikang City, which is actually his dereliction of duty.
"Sir..." Wang Junliang looked up and looked at Huang Yuchen.
Huang Yuchen waved his hand and did not let Wang Junliang continue. He said, "You don't have to say anything. This is not your fault. The cause of these things lies with me. I should end it."
Huang Yuchen turned his gaze to Jiying. Jiying didn't say anything, but just nodded gently.
Jiying knew much more about the Chihong Sect, the Realm Sect and everything about this than Huang Yuchen. He was one of the instant walkers who came to Chihong Sect. The root of those things about eternal life also comes from the instant walkers.
"The matter of Chikang City stopped here." Huang Yuchen looked at Wang Junliang and said, "I will open the city gate and reply to the past situation. I will declare to the outside world that the assassin has been captured. For those practitioners who have discovered, there is no need to alarm them."
When Wang Junliang heard this, he immediately said: "If they treat adults..."
Huang Yuchen waved his hand and said, "Not yet. You have also said that these people obviously do not belong to the same force. Their restraints between them will prevent them from acting rashly."
"And we also have great combat power. If these people want to touch me, they have to consider whether they can achieve their goals." At this moment, Huang Yuchen's mind was very clear, and he basically guessed why these people were not doing it to him now.
Huang Yuchen didn't know how many forces these people represented, nor did he know how their power distribution was. Now acting rashly may lead them to form a temporary alliance and fight Huang Yuchen with all their might. This is a situation he didn't want to see at all.
"What's more, we still have a lot to do now, but I must stay in Chikang City for the time being and cannot leave easily." Huang Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly. Before he figured out everything, he could only stay in Chikang City, and he could only temporarily slow down the matter in the direction of Mingyuan City.
In the small border town of Kangcheng, Shi Fei of Mingyuan City, did not send troops to occupy the Xiwangfu after defeating it, but asked Fan Liao to lead his troops to surrender to him. He must have known something he didn't know.
I want to find a suitable opportunity to take a while to see this Shifei, but now, it is not the time yet.
When Wang Junliang heard Huang Yuchen's words, he could only nod and said yes. As for the current situation, Huang Yuchen's choice was the safest and safest way. He suddenly realized that this prince who was rumored to be nothing in the outside world was hidden in the East Prince's Mansion for more than ten years was not a pampered bag of wine at all.
Many of the temperaments and abilities that Huang Yuchen showed were inconsistent with his current age. They were far beyond his peers, and even more rigorous and faster than him, a middle-aged martial artist.
Wang Junliang's admiration for Huang Yuchen increased a little more. If he first came into contact with Huang Yuchen, he wanted to become his right-hand man and play an important role in the process of regaining Qitian, now he only wants to stay with Huang Yuchen, because he could vaguely feel that the future situation of Qitian Empire may be closely related to the young man in front of him.
At this moment, Huang Yuchen already had the temperament of being domineering and restrained in the world. He had a unique talent and had a strong sense of cultivation. He could not tell the depth of the person he followed was not a human being. This was not on the same level as Fan Liao, the former lord of Chikang City.
"Subordinate, let's go and do these things." Wang Junliang stood up and saluted respectfully at Huang Yuchen and said: "I will reply to the order in the city as soon as possible to issue an announcement to the outside world, and will try my best to find out the power differentiation of these people."
"Remember, even if you can't figure out their situation, don't let them notice that we are investigating them." Huang Yuchen looked at Wang Junliang and whispered: "Once they have such awareness, they will definitely start to act. Also, pay close attention to the practitioners who have left these days, without knowing where they have gone, just knowing where they lived and close contact persons before they left."
"This will help you better understand the relationship between them without alerting them."
"Yes, my subordinates obeyed the order." Wang Junliang bowed respectfully and then quickly retreated. Huang Yuchen's arrangement was not unduly strict, but there were still loopholes. It was just that he could call too few people now, so he had to make this decision.
After Wang Junliang stepped down, Huang Yuchen looked at Jiying and asked, "What's the news in the direction of Mingyuan City?"
Jiying shook her head and said, "The war is about to begin, and everyone is soldiers."
Huang Yuchen frowned and immediately asked, "Why, they are going to make big moves recently? Have you seen Shi Fei or Fan Liao?"
"No." Jiying continued to shake her head: "There is so strict in Mingyuan City. Su Rong and I can't find a chance to enter the city lord's mansion unless we kill the secret whistle inside, but at your request, they were not moved in the end."
"What else is there?" Huang Yuchen asked.
"Fan Liao's troops are stationed at the outermost periphery, and the war is about to begin and will be used as a pioneer."
