Without a flying ship, with the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator riding a sword, they would not be able to reach Qinghe County even if they had to travel for a whole night.
The next day.
In the afternoon.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the State Capital took a pill to recover his spiritual energy. After refining it with great difficulty, he said with a wry smile, “Who would have thought that we, a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, would be in such a sorry state? We’re just like a group of people in distress.”
“If a few ordinary people saw us like this at this time, they would probably think that we are refugees who escaped from some chaotic place!”
The unique temperament of Immortal cultivators could hardly be seen on them.
They had experienced too much in just a few days.
They had almost lost the spirit in their hearts. They were all people who had made a trip to the gates of Hell.
Now, many people still had lingering fear in their hearts. It was truly not easy for them to feel that they could survive.
Another State Capital Immortal cultivator gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all those damned demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace. If it weren’t for those demons doing evil, why would so many things have happened?”
When the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace were mentioned, all the State Capital Immortal cultivators gnashed their teeth in hatred.
At this moment, an Immortal cultivator explained to the Human Puppet, “When the Imperial Court besieged Sacred Heart Palace, we were actually part of it. It’s a pity that we misjudged the craftiness of the demon cultivators, resulting in quite a few demon cultivators escaping.”
At this point, he said somewhat regretfully, “If I had known this would happen, I would have sent more people. It was truly too negligent.”
“We thought Sacred Heart Palace was just like that, but it was more powerful than we expected.”
“…”
The Immortal cultivator told him everything that had happened.
This was not a secret. It had long since spread throughout the prefecture capital.
The demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace had caused the Imperial Court to lose face!
The Imperial Court had originally been filled with confidence and was prepared to exterminate a hidden demon sect in one fell swoop.
In the end…
Although it could not be considered a failure, it was still a thousand miles away from success.
The Sacred Heart Palace had indeed been destroyed, and their headquarters had already been razed to the ground. Countless schemes and schemes of the Sacred Heart Palace had all failed, and countless demon cultivators had died or been injured.
However…
Some of the key figures of the Sacred Heart Palace had escaped, and one of the most important figures, the Palace Master of the Sacred Heart Palace, had escaped with heavy injuries.
Apart from that, there were also some Elders of Sacred Heart Palace and quite a few low-level demon cultivators who had escaped.
At the same time, through the short communication between the Human Puppet and these people, Bai Yi learned that the Immortal cultivators of the State Capital in front of him had extraordinary statuses in the State Capital.
Two of them were officials of the State Capital, and their statuses were not low. The other two were sons of aristocratic families from the prefectural government, and they were considered geniuses of their families.
They originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some experience.
In the future, they would be able to enter the Imperial Court system smoothly, and they would even be able to get acquainted with a Princess.
It would be even more amazing if the Princess took a fancy to them!
Even if they were old enough to be the Princess’s father, they looked young enough to be done with it!
In the end, the development of the matter left them dumbfounded. Who would have thought that they would bump into a great demon at the tenth level of the Golden Core stage on the way?
It made them instantly wither. To be able to survive now was already a blessing that they had cultivated for eight lifetimes.
How could they think so much?
Moreover, Bai Yi also knew what this Princess’s name was. She was the daughter of the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, so she naturally had the same surname as the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Fu Shuangni.
This was a name that Bai Yi learned from her.
The surname Fu…
This was the surname of the Great Yan Dynasty royal family.
Bai Yi also knew that this little Princess was already 25 years old this year. At 25 years old, she had the cultivation of the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage. This kind of Immortal cultivation bone root foundation was not much different from Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao.
Although Chen Qianxue was already at the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage, she had simulated many Immortal cultivation lives.
If she did not have the Immortal Cultivation Simulator…
Chen Qianxue would probably have to wait until she was in her early twenties before she could break through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Some basic information that he needed to know, Bai Yi already knew most of it.
In other words…
As long as Fu Shuangni and the others stepped into Qinghe County, Bai Yi would be able to invite her into the Immortal Cultivation Simulator and make her the third Human Tool of the Immortal Cultivation Simulator to work for him.
Fu Shuangni did not know that she was being targeted.
After she finished refining a pill, she slowly opened her eyes.
She suddenly opened her mouth and asked a State Capital Immortal cultivator, “How many people know our route to Qinghe County?”
That State Capital Immortal cultivator was stunned. At first, he did not know why the Princess asked this question.
However, he quickly reacted and could not help but widen his eyes. “Your… Your Highness the Princess, you mean…”
Fu Shuangni muttered, “The location where the Golden Core great demon appeared was too coincidental. When we met it at that time, no matter which direction we fled in, it was too far away. If we walked backwards, we wouldn’t have time to return to the State Capital. If we walked forward, we wouldn’t have time to enter the vicinity of the Spirit Sword Sect.”
“Moreover, the timing of its appearance was also very ingenious. At that time, we were meditating on the flying ship. It just so happened that at that time, it appeared.”
“If there was no one who knew about these things intervening, how could such a coincidence happen?”
As her words fell, everyone’s expression immediately became serious.
If they were just too unlucky and met a Golden Core demon…
Then they would only secretly curse their own bad luck.
However, what if it was because someone leaked the news that they met a Golden Core demon?
Was someone deliberately framing them?
No…
Their identities were not simple, but not enough to be framed by someone… Not enough for someone to spend such a generous amount of resources.
Hiss!
Did someone want to deal with the Princess? They were only implicated?
Everyone was shocked!
Immediately, their hearts were bitter.
They would rather be deaf and not hear what the Princess was saying, because this seemed to have exceeded the scope of their intervention.
The other party dared to secretly attack the Princess, and was able to command a Golden Core great demonic beast, then the other party was not simple either!
Perhaps…
It was within the Imperial Family…
Cough cough!
When this thought appeared in their minds, they immediately dispelled it.
They could not think too much. They should not talk nonsense.
In their hearts, the anger that had risen with great difficulty was extinguished. Fu Shuangni saw their reactions, so she was not surprised.
This kind of thing…
If it was as she guessed, these people were not suitable to get involved.
Otherwise, they would be killed. Even their families would not be spared.
“Sir.” Fu Shuangni suddenly asked the Human Puppet, “Can you protect me for a longer period of time? I can take all my belongings as your reward!”
She knew that if she wanted to ask someone, she had to use a certain attitude.
“Your identity is too special,” the Human Puppet looked at Fu Shuangni and said in a low tone.
Fu Shuangni was stunned and nodded. She was not surprised that she was rejected.
Indeed, her identity was too special.
There were too many things involved and it was easy to get into trouble. It was normal for the other party to reject.
“You have to pay more!”
“?!”
…
