Bai Di City, the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty!
It was heavily guarded!
The sound of fighting erupting here was absolutely strange!
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare cause trouble here!
Unless...
Remnants of the previous dynasty, whose identities were already confirmed!
Thinking of this, Chen Nan's eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance!
"According to what my maternal grandfather said, the moment the remnants of the previous dynasty left, King Wu immediately brought people to attack the Jia family. From this, it can be inferred that the two forces must have reached some kind of agreement!"
"The current situation suggests that the two sides have likely fallen out!"
"If I were to save the remnants of the previous dynasty now, it could serve as evidence to bring down King Wu!"
In an instant!
Chen Nan vanished from the empty street!
The immortal mansion transformed into a tiny speck of dust and floated towards the place of battle!
From afar, he saw two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators at the eastern city gate, engaging in a fight with a group of black-clothed men!
Even though there was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator among the black-clothed men!
In terms of strength and equipment, they were far from a match for their opponents!
In a short while, only two of the more than ten black-clothed men remained!
Even the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was severely injured!
Seeing his side suffer heavy casualties!
The late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator among the black-clothed men grabbed a companion and directly used instantaneous movement to disappear into the sky!
Unexpectedly!
Those two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators did not pursue!
"We can go back and report!" a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator said with a meaningful smile!
The other replied, "This time we have killed over ten remnants of the previous dynasty, confirming the collusion between the Jia family and the remnants of the previous dynasty. As for this remnant of the previous dynasty and the princess!"
"Let's leave them to become stepping stones for Lord Wu King in the future!"
"Indeed, Lord Wu King needs a solid stepping stone!"
Just then!
The late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who spoke first looked around suspiciously, "Fellow Daoist Geng Yin, do you feel like a pair of eyes are watching us?"
Hearing this!
Chen Nan inside the immortal mansion quickly withdrew his gaze!
He never expected Nascent Soul cultivators to be so vigilant!
Fortunately, this was in a small world!
If it were in the mortal world, he would have already appeared and killed the two of them!
But now, he was being rejected by the Heavenly Dao rules of this small world!
He had to keep a low profile!
Especially before finding the imperial edict, the pardon, and the evidence of King Wu and the remnants of the previous dynasty colluding to harm the Jia family, he had to act with discretion!
"Fellow Daoist, you worry too much. I don't feel anyone secretly paying attention to us!"
"It must be that I was hallucinating. Let's go, take these bodies, and go back to report!"
------
After the two of them left, Chen Nan controlled the immortal mansion and returned the way he came!
He did not fly out of the city!
Because he had sensed the aura of that late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator flying overhead earlier!
Even though his instantaneous movement was fast, the immortal mansion was a rare immortal artifact, and anyone who approached it would be sensed!
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party is likely hiding in Bai Di City with the idea of hiding in plain sight!"
"Even King Wu would not have thought that the enemies they were pursuing would be hiding right under his nose!"
Undeniably!
Chen Nan admired the intelligence of this remnant of the previous dynasty!
Even he, under these circumstances, would not dare to return to Bai Di City!
Unless they were prepared to die!
"Golden Boy, locate the position of that late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from earlier!"
Chen Nan commanded decisively!
Because the other party had flown above the immortal mansion, the immortal mansion had already locked onto their aura!
Even in the terms of the mortal world, it could not only locate but also automatically search!
A quarter of an hour later!
The immortal mansion arrived at the slums in the north of the city!
Just like on Earth, wherever there are people, there is a disparity between rich and poor!
Especially in this feudal society!
The houses were low and dilapidated, and a foul odor permeated everywhere!
Because it was night, Chen Nan couldn't see anyone, but the rats on the street were so thin they were skin and bones, which alone indicated that the environment here was extremely harsh!
Finally, Chen Nan arrived at a remote corner where there was a small courtyard!
A candle was lit in the room!
The immortal mansion floated in through the gap in the door, and the scene in the room appeared before Chen Nan's eyes!
He saw an old man with silver hair sitting cross-legged. His complexion was pale, and his aura was extremely weak!
Beside him was a peerlessly beautiful woman, graceful and captivating!
"Master, how are you?" The woman's eyes were filled with tears and concern!
Lu Zheng weakly said, "Your Highness Princess, I... I fear I will not live to see the day when the Great Yang Kingdom is restored... cough cough cough..." As he said this, he coughed up a mouthful of blood!
His aura grew weaker and weaker!
Giving the impression that he was about to exhaust his last breath at any moment!
"It's my fault, all my fault. We shouldn't have cooperated with King Wu. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so severely injured!" Tears instantly streamed down the woman's face!
Her name was Yu Ye, the sole bloodline of the Great Yang Kingdom!
Because she wanted to overthrow the Great Yan Dynasty and avenge her country, she cooperated with King Wu!
King Wu had sworn to the heavens that as long as they helped him eliminate the Jia family, he would help them overthrow the Great Yan Dynasty!
But they never dreamed that after sending the Jia family to prison, the other party would break their promise!
Not only did he vehemently deny his previous oath, but he even sent experts to kill them!
If she hadn't been determined to get revenge, she wouldn't have colluded with King Wu, a wolf!
Lu Zheng's eyes were filled with complexity, "Your Highness Princess, there's no need to blame yourself. This matter is not your fault. In the final analysis, we underestimated King Wu's strength!"
"He must be the chosen one... Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to disregard his previous oath..."
As he said this, he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood and said, "Your Highness Princess, there's something... I don't know if I should say it..."
Yu Ye's eyes were tearful, "Master, what do you want to say?"
"It's been hundreds of years since the Great Yang Kingdom was destroyed. Instead of dwelling on past hatred, why not let it go?" Lu Zheng said in a low voice, "You are different from other princes; you are a woman. Even if you overthrow the rule of the Great Yan Dynasty, the empire will be difficult to pass down!"
"You should be an ordinary person, find a man you love, raise a family, and live your life!"
"Instead of carrying the deep hatred of your destroyed country..."
Yu Ye's gaze was filled with hatred, "Master, how can you say such a thing? If I give up the hatred in my heart, then what is the meaning of living?"
"But, how can we avenge the destruction of our nation?" Lu Zheng naturally wanted revenge, more than anyone. It was precisely because of this that he instilled the idea of revenge in Yu Ye from a young age!
But now!
All their people were dead!
Even though he was still alive, he was at the end of his rope!
Once he died, with only Yu Ye, a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage, how could she contend with King Wu?
How could she contend with the Great Yan Dynasty?
Just then, a magnetic voice sounded, "Perhaps, I can help you get revenge!"
Lu Zheng became as if facing a great enemy, "Who is it?"
