Chapter 133: Chapter 88: Fairy: Let’s Live Together

"That’s the black mist you’re seeing."

"Once the entrance disappears, they send the villagers back to the surface, so you don’t need to worry about their safety."

Holy shit!

’A peeling space?’

’What kind of Great Divine Technique is this?’

’But it makes sense when you think about it. The Kan Family has stood strong since the founding of the Great Yu. How could their ancestor not have had a few tricks up his sleeve?’

Zhao Ci sighed with emotion. "Your ancestor was a person of great merit!"

He truly meant what he said.

He’d heard that these ruins from the previous dynasty were incredibly dangerous. Anyone below the Physical Body Realm who went in was basically cannon fodder.

Moreover, the entrance appeared at random times and places. If one were to pop up right on top of you, you’d be in for a terrible ordeal.

But with this "noobs-not-allowed" mechanism, even if you got swept in, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.

Otherwise, the people of the Northern Three Prefectures would’ve surely rioted by now.

Kan Luotang stared at the plumes of black mist next to the giant eye. "This black mist accompanies the entrance, lasting anywhere from a few hours to half a day. No matter what, getting swept inside is not a pleasant experience. If my calculations are correct, the next entrance will appear somewhere around Qingyang County. You should be careful. Try not to leave the city toward the end of the month."

"Okay!"

The two watched the giant eye for a little longer. After it had absorbed the nearby villagers, a number of people jumped out from it.

After a brief lull, another group of people was sporadically sucked into the giant eye.

’These must be the Cultivators who regularly enter and exit the ruins.’

Zhao Ci had heard the ruins were rife with both danger and opportunity, and he found himself quite curious about what it was like inside.

’Once I break through to the Physical Body Realm, I’ll have to go in and see for myself, no matter what.’

’Besides, according to the Ministry of Justice’s files, a lot of wanted criminals are hiding out in the ruins. It’s practically a Merit Library.’

’Still, it’s useless to covet it now.’

’If I actually ran into any of them, I’d have to steer clear.’

After watching for a while longer, he realized nothing new was happening.

Zhao Ci cupped his hands. "It’s getting late. Let’s leave anything else for tomorrow. You should get some rest too, Miss Luotang. Good night!"

With that, he headed for his room.

"Good... night!"

Kan Luotang clutched the front of her robes with a delicate hand, her eyes fixed on Zhao Ci’s closed door for a long time.

She suddenly broke into a gentle smile.

’His Highness... he’s... a really good person!’

...

「Qingyang County.」

Zhao Yong stared at a piece of black jade, his expression grim. "Are you certain you can control the location where the entrance appears?"

"Rest assured, Your Highness. Members of the Holy Sect never lie!"

A figure appeared within the black jade—it was the same Demon Sect elder Zhao Yong had met with before. "When the time comes, all Your Highness needs to do is pretend to share a common enemy and allow yourself to be sucked into the black mist with him.

Those at the Physical Body Realm and above cannot enter the black mist. The signal from the Peace Jade will also be blocked, and what’s more, there’s the issue of the entrance’s stability.

Even if the experts from the Imperial Clan Court suspect foul play, they won’t dare to enter rashly.

Besides, with two Princes in two separate clouds of black mist, which one do you suppose they’ll choose to enter?"

Zhao Yong nodded. "Excellent. I don’t want any mistakes on this matter!"

"There will be no mistakes!"

The Demon Sect elder promised confidently, but then asked with some curiosity, "Your Highness, I’ve heard about what happened today. While it wasn’t part of your plan, the conflict between Zhang Delv and Zhao Ci has intensified. Once Zhao Ci is dead, Zhang Delv will undoubtedly become the scapegoat. This is a tremendous boon for us, so why do you look so troubled?"

Zhao Yong’s expression froze. Of course he knew it was a good thing.

In fact, the outcome today was exactly what he had hoped for.

When the time came and Zhao Ci was dead, Zhang Delv would take all the blame.

But...

’Miss Luotang threw herself into Zhao Ci’s arms!’

’It’s already Midnight, and Zhao Ci still hasn’t come back.’

’Where are they?’

’What are they doing?’

Zhao Yong’s face turned grim. "This is my affair. It’s none of your concern!"
