It had to be said that the shadow guards of the Heavenly Demon Sect were indeed very useful.
The Heavenly Demon shadow guards were spread over every corner of the continent, so the Heavenly Demon Sect was able to gather almost all the information.
Ye Chen had the Heavenly Demon shadow guards thoroughly investigate the Sima clan.
Back then, Sima Tianchi was a great general during Ye Chen's grandfather's era.
Later on, he had been stationed in Heavenly South City.
Although he was only a City Lord, the power of the Sima family had always been very strong.
Later on, when the Eastern Imperial Kingdom blocked the attacks of the demi-humans, the Sima family took advantage of this gap to recruit soldiers and buy horses, continuously strengthening themselves.
Currently, the strength of the Sima family could almost rival half of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
In other words, the current Eastern Imperial Kingdom simply could not deal with the Sima family.
If they wanted to deal with the Sima family, they would have to gather the troops of a single kingdom. However, if that was the case, the demi-humans and the neighboring Nanxuan Kingdom would definitely take the opportunity to attack the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
Hence, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom did not dare to deal with the Sima family in Heavenly Cloud City.
After Ye Chen learned of all this, he understood that the Sima family would definitely be a disaster if they remained in this world.
The Sima family would not be eliminated.
Even if he became the Emperor, the Sima family would probably immediately rise up and revolt.
Therefore, Ye Chen had to get rid of the Sima family in Heavenly South City.
"Little junior brother, what are you planning to do?" At this moment, Second Senior Sister looked at Ye Chen in shock as she asked from within the carriage.
Since the Sima family was equivalent to the power of half a country, it was sufficient to prove that the power of the Sima family was not so easy to destroy.
To eradicate the Sima family, even a single country of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom would find it difficult to do so.
Even if Ye Chen was one of the strongest experts in the world, with their meager military strength, it was probably impossible for them to go head to head with the Sima family.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you obtain the tiger's cub?"
Ye Chen and the others continued to walk forward.
If they continued forward, they would reach Fragrant Ink City.
Along the way, Ye Chen and the others basically did not encounter any assassins, perhaps because it was the territory of Fragrant Ink City.
They arrived in front of the city gates of Fragrant Ink City.
At the city gates, they saw an army standing guard in front of the city gates.
A general was riding on a horse, standing at the very front.
They saw Ye Chen and the others arrive at the city gates.
That army was all standing behind that general. They stood straight and looked straight ahead.
Ye Chen's group slowly arrived at the city gate. The general immediately got down from his horse and knelt down in front of Xiao Chen's group.
"I, Zhang Mo, respectfully welcome Your Highness into the city!"
At this moment, Ye Chen gently opened the curtain of the carriage door.
He walked out.
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
They looked at Ye Chen, their hearts filled with shock.
Was he the Prince?
Ye Chen walked over step by step with an elegant bearing.
"Prince Ye Chen isn't as bad as the rumors say, right?"
"The rumors say that Prince Ye Chen is a country bumpkin. Now that I look at it, it turns out that he is a graceful and beautiful youth."
"Can he really lead our Eastern Imperial Kingdom to prosperity?"
"Don't say anymore. Everything is His Majesty's will. We can not make wild guesses."
The soldiers behind whispered among themselves.
With Ye Chen's cultivation level, he could naturally hear them.
Ye Chen's gaze was calm, and he did not say much. He walked step by step to General Zhang Mo and lifted him up with both hands.
"General, please rise quickly!"
At this moment, General Zhang Mo was a little surprised.
This Prince ye Chen was quite down-to-earth.
At this moment, Zhang Mo stood up and bowed to Ye Chen. "Your Highness!"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Alright, let's enter the city!"
"Enter the city!"
A loud shout could be heard.
Instantly, soldiers led the way one by one. Ye Chen also returned to the carriage and entered the city together with the carriage.
They arrived at the City Lord's mansion.
They entered the City Lord's mansion.
At this moment, Ye Chen arrived at the City Lord's mansion. He looked at General Zhang Mo and said, "General Zhang Mo, you were the general who fought against the monster race with my father, right?"
General Zhang Mo was also an expert in the Transcending Tribulation Realm. However, he was only in the middle stage of the Transcending Tribulation Realm and was not particularly powerful.
Zhang Mo hurriedly said, "Yes."
Ye Chen smiled and continued, "Tell me about the demon race back then."
"Yes!" Zhang Mo immediately nodded.
At this time, Zhang Mo stood beside Ye Chen and spoke with confidence, "Back then, your father had just returned to inherit the throne and had yet to sit firmly on the throne. At this time, the demon race took advantage of the situation to invade us humans.
"But at this moment, His Majesty stepped forward. He personally led us into battle against the demi-humans of the western regions.
"The war back then was extremely bitter. Almost all the generals of our Eastern Imperial Kingdom participated in this battle. Of course, many people died as well.
"But His Majesty never thought of retreating.
"We advanced with great success and continued to wage war against the demi-humans. In the end, we finally obtained victory and forced the demi-humans back to the western regions.
"However, His Majesty was also poisoned by the monster poison. The injuries he suffered back then also left behind the root of his illness."
Hearing General Zhang Mo's explanation, Ye Chen nodded.
It seemed that his cheap father was not that bad after all.. At least, Ye Chen did not hate him now.
