Chapter 2011 Now is the best time
After arriving in the capital, Xu Jingshu had no contact with the Tianyun Sect disciples there.
The Tianyun Sect disciples she came into contact with were all those who had followed her to the capital. Furthermore, her intelligence sources were not these Tianyun Sect disciples who were lurking in the capital, but rather information that she obtained directly from the Tianyun Sect headquarters.
In this way, even if the Zhou sisters, Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect, they would not be able to detect her arrival in the capital through the Heavenly Fortune Sect disciples in the capital.
However, this made it much more difficult for her to investigate whether the two sisters had betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect.
The Zhou sisters knew about their previous intelligence network and their base in Beijing, which meant that she had to build her own intelligence network.
Building a completely new intelligence network is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring a significant amount of time.
Xu Jingshu glanced at the two letters in her hand again. After thinking for a moment, she said to the Tianyun Sect disciple in front of her, "Try to contact our sect's strongholds in the capital and find out if there is anything unusual about them."
Xu Jingshu wanted to see if the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had sent people to monitor those strongholds.
If not, then it proves that the Zhou sisters may not have completely betrayed the Heavenly Fortune Sect, but were forced to sell some of the Heavenly Fortune Sect's information to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
The Third Prince's Residence.
Under the cover of night, the entire prince's residence was bathed in a quiet yet persistent glow of lights.
The vermilion walls stood out as a somber, dark outline in the night, while the palace lanterns hanging from the eaves were all lit, their warm yellow glow spreading out in concentric circles.
In the courtyard, the bluestone path is illuminated by the lights on both sides of the corridor, creating a play of light and shadow.
The evening breeze swept through the courtyard, carrying the refreshing scent of tuberose and vegetation.
The pond reflects the waning moon in the sky and the lights on the shore. The water ripples gently, scattering fragments of light, and a figure is reflected in the pond.
At this moment, a man dressed in black robes appeared behind Ji Yan.
After sensing the person's presence, Ji Yan said to the other servants in the courtyard, "You may all leave."
Upon hearing this, all the servants in the courtyard left the courtyard.
At this moment, the man in black spoke up, "His Highness the Third Prince seems to be quite relaxed lately."
Since the news spread that those few strange beings at the Earth Realm broke through the seal and escaped from the Tower of Demon Suppression, the struggle for the throne has gradually become less intense.
These princes all understood that by stepping forward now, they would inevitably weaken the forces that supported them.
Although their initiative to stand up against the supernatural will bring them more public support and more achievements, these are nothing compared to their losses.
Therefore, Zhou Huang's sons all became much more low-key.
They were waiting for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to reseal those Earth Realm monsters. Even if they wanted to gain fame, they would wait until the Zhennan Prince's Mansion found those Earth Realm monsters.
Ji Yan turned his head and glanced at the man in black robes.
The man in the black robe had his entire face covered by the cloak, hidden in the shadows, with only his mouth visible.
Ji Yan asked, "What do you want with me?"
The man in black robes did not answer, but continued to ask, "I wonder if His Highness the Third Prince is interested in that position?"
Upon hearing the words of the man in black, Ji Yan frowned.
He naturally knew which location the man in black was referring to.
However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. To gain the support of the forces behind the man in black robes, one will definitely have to pay a price.
Ji Yan said, "Didn't you Yellow Springs Cult have no interest in worldly power? Why do you want to withdraw from the world now? What do you want?"
The man in black chuckled and said, "Your Highness, just answer whether you are interested in that position. As for what the Yellow Springs Sect wants, Your Highness will find out in the future." Ji Yan's gaze swept back and forth over the man in black, as if trying to see through him.
After a long pause, Ji Yan spoke again: "If I remember correctly, I sent someone to look for you before, but you refused to listen to me."
Ji Yan had been in contact with the Yellow Springs Cult for a long time, but the Yellow Springs Cult did not agree to help him ascend to that position; at most, they only helped him deal with some dirty business.
Now that the Yellow Springs Cult is suddenly offering to help him seize the throne, he senses a conspiracy.
The man in black robes said, "The time was not right then."
Ji Yan then said, "The time is not right now. Those few Earth Realm monsters have not been sealed yet, and I will not be the one to stick my neck out."
Ji Yan thought to himself that their father was in his prime, and even if his brothers fought fiercely, it would probably be difficult for him to ascend to that position.
Most importantly, the one who now holds real power is not their father, but the Empress Dowager.
Instead of fighting with those brothers right now, it's better to secretly build up our strength.
Just as Ji Yan was thinking this, the man in black robes spoke up: "No, now is the best time."
Ji Yan asked curiously, "Oh? Tell me about it."
This was the first time he had heard anyone say that now was the best time to seize the throne.
Even now, they don't have real power in their father's hands, and their father is in his prime; he could live for at least several hundred or even a thousand years.
At this point, even if one becomes the crown prince, the position is ultimately unstable, and countless things can happen over hundreds of years.
The man in black robes said, "Because the Prince of Zhennan is about to die."
Upon hearing the black-robed man's reply, Ji Yan was immediately filled with questions. The Prince of Zhennan was about to die, what did that have to do with him?
Whether the Prince of Zhennan lives or dies has no necessary connection to the struggle for the throne among the princes, right?
Before Ji Yan could even ask, the man in black robes continued, "Your Highness should know that the Prince of Zhennan possesses dragon energy, right?"
Ji Yan said, "That's natural."
The man in black robes continued, "Under normal circumstances, after the King of Zhennan dies, this dragon energy will enter Lu Chen's body."
"But if both Prince Zhennan and Lu Chen die, and Prince Zhennan has no direct blood relatives, then this dragon energy will likely return to the royal family and back to your father's body. Once your father absorbs all the dragon energy, then no one in the Great Zhou will be his match."
Upon hearing the words of the man in black, Ji Yan was stunned for a moment; he had not thought of this before.
After a while, Ji Yan asked, "Can dragon energy also help people improve their strength?"
The man in black robes said, "If an ordinary person absorbs dragon energy, the dragon energy can at most protect them from harm. But if a member of the royal bloodline absorbs dragon energy, the dragon energy can suppress spiritual evil and expel the harm of spiritual evil to the body. In this way, a person with dragon energy can frantically absorb spiritual evil, thereby raising their strength and realm to an immeasurable height in a short period of time."
Ji Yan looked at the man in black robes with suspicion and asked, "Why have I never heard of dragon energy having this effect before?"
The man in black robes said, "These are royal secrets, known only to each emperor. You are not the emperor, so naturally you wouldn't know."
Ji Yan sneered: "You're not the emperor, so how do you know?"
The man in black robes said, "Because we have cooperated with one of your emperors."
"This..." Ji Yan's mind went blank upon hearing this.
How could the Yellow Springs Cult have collaborated with his ancestors?
Seeing the disbelief on Ji Yan's face, the man in black robes continued, "Your Highness need not doubt; the history I teach is far more ancient than you know." (End of Chapter)
