Chen Xiao glanced at him and said indifferently, “What’s wrong? Are you regretting it? Heh, if you regret it now and are unwilling to enter the secret realm, I will not return the Shadow Bearing Sword. Think about it before you speak.”
After a moment, the Third Prince calmed down and asked, “So, Chen Xiao, from the beginning when you joined hands with me, you were thinking about entering the Unparalleled Secret Realm. Have you been using me all this time?”
Chen Xiao shook his head, “Heh, you think too highly of me and underestimate yourself. I only have one reason to join hands with you, and that is to kill the evil sect together and remove the root of the problem. I want to bring peace to the Divine Realm. As for the Unparalleled Secret Realm, I only found out about it from you. Don’t think too much about it.”
“You didn’t lie to me?” The Third Prince questioned.
Chen Xiao chuckled, “What? Where did the Third Prince, who was so high-spirited and arrogant before, go? Why are you so unconfident?”
The Third Prince’s expression was gloomy as he sighed and said, “I’m just a little afraid.”
“Afraid of what?”
“Afraid of entering the secret realm. I was too naive before. Even you can’t completely trust me. Once I enter the secret realm, if you leave me behind, I will only be at the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm and it will be very difficult for me to survive.”
The Third Prince said dejectedly.
Without a doubt, this was a huge blow to him, causing him to lose confidence.
Originally, he thought that with Chen Xiao's promise, entering the secret realm would not be a problem for him, even if he did not obtain any great opportunities. However, after conversing with the Divine Emperor just now, Chen Xiao had revealed his absolute rationality.
As the saying goes, 'If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by the heavens and the earth.'
Chen Xiao smiled and spread out his hands. He said, "If you are afraid, you can give up on entering the secret realm. I believe that with the Divine Emperor's regard for you, he won't force you. If that's the case, you can be at ease, right?"
"At ease? Haha."
The Third Prince seemed to have heard a huge joke. He turned his head and stared at Chen Xiao with his eyes wide open. He said fiercely, "At ease? You're wrong. We are just Gu raised by my father. If I don't go to the secret realm, then my father will definitely think of other ways to force me to die."
Chen Xiao was a little surprised. "So ruthless?"
"The most merciless of kings and queens. You don't understand." The Third Prince sighed.
Chen Xiao pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, I don't understand. In my opinion, only one's own strength is the foundation of one's existence. Everything else is fake."
Hearing that, the Third Prince's eyes lit up. He said, "That's right. I have learned a lesson, Brother Chen Xiao."
"So, what do you plan to do? Give up? If you give up, I won't blame you. I want to go to the secret realm. Who knows, there might be a great opportunity."
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
"I..."
The Third Prince hesitated for a moment, but he did not say it out loud.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "You can think about it slowly. There is no hurry. There is still time. There should still be some time before the opening of the Unique Secret Realm."
Hearing this, the Third Prince heaved a long sigh of relief. His expression became much more relaxed, and he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."
It was precisely Chen Xiao's enlightenment that allowed his serious mood to be somewhat relieved.
Otherwise, the pressure on him would be too great.
"Heh."
"Let's go back to my Imperial Residence first. There is still a welcoming feast waiting for us today. Brother Chen Xiao, you can't miss it."
The Third Prince said again.
"Alright."
Very quickly, the two of them left the Divine Imperial Palace.
On the other side, in the backyard of the Divine Imperial Palace, a black-armored guard was kneeling respectfully on the ground. In front of him was the Divine Emperor with his back facing him.
"Your Majesty, these are the contents of the conversation between the Third Prince and Chen Xiao."
The Divine Emperor coughed, and his face became a little pale. He stared at the paper in his hand and said coldly, "Is there nothing else?"
"No, the Third Prince and Chen Xiao have already returned to the Imperial Residence. Today, there will be a welcoming feast in the Imperial Residence. Many of the cultivator clans and forces in the city have participated."
The black-armored guard said truthfully.
The Divine Emperor was expressionless. A ball of magic power ignited in his hand, and the paper turned into flying ash that dissipated with the wind.
"Mm, you guys continue to monitor him, especially that Chen Xiao. If there is any unusual movement, immediately report it to me."
"Yes, sir."
The black-armored guard cupped his hands and left with a move.
At the same time, the Divine Emperor coughed a few times, panting. After a while, he recovered and quickly took out a medicinal bottle. He took out a pill with a strange fragrance and stuffed it into his mouth.
Suddenly, a flush of red surged onto his cheeks, and he felt a little better.
"Chen Xiao? What is his background? Heh, interesting. Is he from the Lower Realm? "
At this time, a thin book appeared in his hand. He held it in his hand and slowly flipped through it. On the title page of the book, there were clearly written five big words.
Purple Cloud City, Chen Xiao.
The Divine Emperor kept flipping through it, thinking about it.
...
The Third Prince's Mansion.
Guests flooded the entire street like a tide. They were all the attendants of the honored guests, and there were also cultivators who were not qualified to enter the mansion to congratulate them.
However, even if they were standing outside, they would still receive a certain amount of reception. There was no lack of wine and food.
For a moment, the mansion was bustling with noise and excitement. The gongs and drums were loud, and the lanterns were hung. The atmosphere was magnificent, and it was a scene of prosperity.
"As expected of the Third Prince. What a grand show. So many aristocratic families have come to congratulate him. I'm afraid that the seven great cultivator families of the Divine Dynasty have all come."
"That's right. This time, the Third Prince has done a great deed by exterminating the evil sect and killing two immortal-level Protectors of the evil sect. However, it is a great merit. His Majesty, the Godly Monarch, has rewarded him greatly. This celebration feast is just right."
"Although that's the case, I heard that the expert who killed the two Protectors of the evil sect was someone else. It seems to be called Blood Hand. Is it a senior expert who has been living in seclusion for a long time?"
"That's right. It's called Blood Hand. This name is quite intimidating. It is most likely just a joking name. It can't be taken seriously."
"Indeed. I wonder what the background of this senior expert who calls himself Blood Hand is. He is truly admirable. He is like a lofty mountain. His strength is extraordinary."
"Let's just wait outside obediently. If you can't even enter the door, don't think about it blindly."
"Hehe, that's true. Come, cheers. I wish the Third Highness a happy birthday."
"Happy birthday, Third Highness."
Everyone was discussing animatedly.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Imperial Residence.
Chen Xiao casually set up a barrier to isolate the noise outside. He was drinking and eating meat alone in the pavilion. It was a peaceful and quiet place.
He first picked up a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it twice. It could be said that the fragrance of the meat lingered in his mouth. The taste was extremely delicious. He picked up the wine cup beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, it's comfortable."
Chen Xiao laughed loudly. He was extremely carefree and at ease.
