Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Third Princess Of Wu Kingdom, Wu Qingwu."

"Hm?" The Elder was surprised at Ye Tian Yun's answer.

After a moment, he nodded his head, "That explains why they have a Core Formation Realm as a guard for her."

Ye Tian Yun said to him, "Senior, I am sure you're also a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but this might take an unexpected turn, so please be careful."

The Elder smiled, "Don't worry about me. In a battlefield, the cultivation base isn't the only factor that decides life and death."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "I understand, Elder. Also, we have a really big advantage too."

"Advantage?" The Elder frowned.

"They don't know that we know about them." Ye Tian Yun said.

"Hmm," The Elder nodded his head and let out a sigh, "We will strike at the right moment and take the biggest benefit."

Yin Shan nodded his head, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Exactly!" The Elder laughed.

Ye Tian Yun also slightly smiled at this, 'And this oriole is unaware that there's an arrow trained at its back.'

Of course, the oriole was the Devil Sect, and the arrow was Ye Tian Yun, who was going to get the most benefits out of all this.

The Elder suddenly gestured at Jia Lei Shan about something.

Jia Lei Shan nodded his head, took out a wooden token from his spatial ring, and gave it to Ye Tian Yun.

"Shu Xian," He said, "This is the Clan Head's token. With this, you can roam the whole city, and no one will stop you."

"This…" Ye Tian Yun was a bit confused at this.

Clan Head Jia Lei shan smiled and said, "You will need this. Take it."

As Ye Tian Yun put the token in his spatial ring, the Elder said, "Disciple Shu Xian, when you entered the city, did you notice something out of order?"

Ye Tian Yun was a bit surprised at this question, and after a moment of thought, he revealed, "Senior, I saw many arrays throughout the whole city. Almost covering all the corners."

The Elder nodded his head, "I knew you would see through them. So, what do you think is going on?"

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "Those arrays weren't arranged by you. Senior?"

The Elder shook his head, "Not all of them. I only put up a few at the gates of the city."

"Oh, then who covered the whole city with arrays?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

'Is there really someone else involved in this!?'

The Elder pursed his lips, "We don't know who exactly it was, but we have a suspicion on some people."

"Who?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

He wanted to know who this hidden party was creating puddles for him so he could fall into it before he released his arrow on the oriole, aiming for the mantis, who was preying on the cicada.

The Elder asked, "Shu Xian, did you ever think why we believed your words in the morning?"

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned and nodded his head, "I was a bit confused because no one asked me for deeper details. Like how did I hear about the Token and from whom did I hear it."

The Elder nodded his head, "Indeed. If this were any other time, you would have been thoroughly grilled for those questions, but fate has helped you a lot because whatever you said directly fit in the story we were following."

"When you mentioned the Token, and you even mentioned it was Token Of Fate, I knew that we could trust you because the information you brought was already in our hands."

"But you didn't know about this. However, you surprised me when you revealed the name of the Token Possessor. That too fits very well because the prophecy stated that the city shall bathe in blood, and it is similar to how in every generation, the Great Yang Clan baths a battlefield with blood."

Ye Tian Yun frowned when he heard the Elder's words, "Prophecy?" 

He asked, "Which prophecy, Senior?"

'What is he talking about? There was never a prophecy related to Tokens or other emblems… what is going on?'

In his previous life, there had never been a prophecy that revealed anything related to Tokens or Emblems.

These were only revealed to be in possession of God's Legion when they became powerful enough to reveal it themselves to the whole world.

'If Heaven Oracle Sect can prophesize about the Tokens… then why didn't they ever reveal it to the outside world? I never knew about such a thing.'

The Elder took confusion on Ye Tian Yun's face as his reaction to his words and thus began explaining it to him, "Shu Xian, you might not know, but we have a few spies even in the Heaven Oracle Sect. And it was revealed a few days ago that the Token Of Fate was going to appear in the Silver Mist."

Ye Tian Yun frowned and thought for a moment, 'But that doesn't mean it was going to appear in the Silver Mist City, right?'

As if the Elder had seen the question on Ye Tian Yun's face, he explained, "Even though there were about four places which are related to the Silver Mist in the Middle Heavens, there's only one in the Lower Heavens. And luck was on our side because we were already in this city, waiting to spoil the Crown Prince Xin and Gracious Sword Sect's plan."

Ye Tian Yun asked, "But Senior, what makes you so sure? And how is all this related to the hidden party who had arranged the arrays all over the city?"

The Elder smiled and said, "It has a lot to do with it. Because as soon as the Prophecy reached us, the next day, I spotted two disciples from the Heaven Oracle Sect."

"What?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised.

Because he knew who these disciples were.

Qin Wentian and his junior sister, Ji Yi!
