You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Good nephew, I'll let you live a little longer."

Lin Yue smirked as he sent a palm strike out, shattering Prince Xun's legs. With two casual flicks of his fingers, he completely broke both of Prince Xun's arms.

Then, he reined in his power and gently tapped Prince Xun's chest with a palm. A surge of potent Primordial Power penetrated his body, forming a mysterious seal that locked away his Primordial Spirit and Primordial Power. Flipping his hand, Lin Yue took out a First-Grade True Treasure, the Binding Spirit Rope, and completely sealed Prince Xun.

Sealed in Cultivation, Prince Xun could not move at all and fell into despair.

The gap... was too wide.

"Why... not kill me?" Prince Xun asked with difficulty.

Lin Yue couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense. He casually set up a Silence Barrier and said indifferently, "Don't rush, my target was not originally you. Who would have thought you'd deliver yourself to my doorstep?"

And now, Prince Xun could not ask whom his true target was.

Lin Yue, with Prince Xun in tow, disappeared through the Void in an instant, entering the realm of Jingzhou. After sensing the scrutiny of the Eye of Heaven, he landed on a mountaintop within Jingzhou.

The two furiously spinning flames beneath his feet calmed down, transforming back into two pale golden rings that shrank to fit around his wrists.

Immediately after, Lin Yue pressed a hand against his face and with his body swiftly changing, he removed the disguise and returned to his original appearance.

"I'll borrow the honor of your look for a moment, nephew."

Lin Yue glanced at Prince Xun with a smile, touched the tip of his finger to draw a drop of Prince Xun's blood, and then activated the disguise, pouring in Primordial Power to help it refine and decode the drop of blood.

All of this was done under the protection of the Barrier Artifact, isolating all changes in aura within the barrier.

Then, while the disguise was analyzing the drop of blood, Lin Yue casually searched Prince Xun for any storage treasures and took out the three storage treasures from his person.

Each of the three storage treasures was protected by strong prohibitions. Even with his power, forcibly refining them would be quite troublesome.

However, he had a better way—

"Go."

With a thought, one of the pale golden rings on his wrist spiraled into action, releasing three streams of golden fire to begin refining the prohibitions within the storage treasures.

The Semi-Divine Artifact, Flying Spirit Chasing Sun, was primarily used for rapid transit, its spatial Penetration even stronger than Lin Yue's fledgling Sun Chasing Path. It could even split into nine in an instant.

It also possessed the marvelous power of Taiyang True Fire.

This was a mysterious force in the world, equal in fame to Taiyin True Water and contained many wonders.

Aside from overcoming spirits and ghosts of the Ghost Path, this Taiyang True Fire was adept at refining various Forbidden Skills and had a considerable destructive force.

Of course, these were just the basic abilities of the Semi-Divine Artifact; its true capabilities would only be unleashed after a deeper bond was formed, which was up to Hong Xi.

"It's done."

Soon, the Taiyang True Fire refined the storage treasures' prohibitions in just a few moments, completely refining them.

Lin Yue explored them with his Divine Thought, quickly searching through them.

"Found it."

In no time, Lin Yue found a Communication Seal amongst the storage treasures.

Judging by the aura emanating from the seal, it should be the means of contact with Tian Ku Bodhisattva.

Then, he sealed several items in the storage treasures that seemed to be used for tracking, and using the Sun Chasing Path, he bundled them up and threw them thousands of miles away.

Prince Xun stared at Lin Yue, still not understanding what his "seventeenth uncle" was trying to do.

Then, he saw Lin Yue pick up the Human Skin Mask as thin as a cicada's wings and gently pressed it to his face.

...

In Cangzhou, Primordial Mountain.

"Tian Ku, I won't fight with you anymore."

The wave-like surge of blood light suddenly receded, and the Blood Sea Saint Mother pushed back Tian Ku Bodhisattva with one palm, then swept up Hong Xi with a swing of her sleeve and took off in an incredibly fast Blood Escape.

By then, many of the hundreds of peaks of Primordial Mountain had already collapsed.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva let out a slow breath, not pursuing, knowing he couldn't catch up.

He swept away the ghastly spirits and yin ghosts from the sky, frowning slightly as he turned his gaze toward Jingzhou: "Hopefully, Prince Xun isn't dead..."

He was only worried that the Twelfth Prince would take his anger out on him.

At that moment—

Tian Ku Bodhisattva flipped his hand and took out a Communication Seal, sighing in relief, "Prince Xun has escaped?"

Based on his deduction, unless that mysterious man suspected to be the Commandery Prince of Tian Xuan was also extremely adept at assassination, Prince Xun still had a great chance of escaping to the skies with the protection of the Inner Heaven and Earth fragment.

Especially after entering the borders of Jingzhou, the chances were even better.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva let out a sigh of relief, and immediately, on a Lotus Platform, flew towards Jingzhou.

With the Flying Escape speed of a Saint, it took only a few dozen breaths to fly into the territory of Jingzhou.

However, he also worried about a conspiracy, flying towards the signal of the Talisman while also using the Inner Heaven and Earth to conceal his aura, and soon he detected Prince Xun's presence.

Once a Saint utilized the Inner Heaven and Earth to hide, unless a Proving Great Power calculated their position, nobody could discover them.

After carefully sensing from a distance for a long time, confirming it was Prince Xun's aura and finding no anomalies nearby, he flew over.

"Prince Xun."

On a peak reaching into the clouds, Tian Ku Bodhisattva sat on a Lotus Platform, floating in mid-air, looking down at Prince Xun on the mountain and saying, "What about the Commandery Prince of Tian Xuan?"

"After I escaped to Jingzhou, I pretended to request my father to send an Avatar, which scared him away," said Prince Xun in a low voice.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva suddenly understood.

Twelfth Prince, Prince Cheng, was a rebellious Saint, and if he were willing to cultivate an Avatar, even the Avatar alone could suppress an ordinary Saint.

Moreover, this place was within the Jingzhou border, merely three thousand miles from Di Hong City's Prince Cheng Mansion.

For someone like the Twelfth Prince, a Great Power with his fleeing speed, those mere three thousand miles could probably be covered in a matter of breaths.

It was normal to scare the other party away.

"However, didn't Prince Cheng Your Highness leave you an Avatar Token?" asked Tian Ku Bodhisattva.

Prince Xun scoffed, "Creating an Avatar requires splitting a strand of Divine Soul, he aims for a Perfect Divine Soul, focused on Proving, how could he leave an Avatar?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva didn't find it strange, only saying, "After all, Prince Cheng Your Highness has given you a fragment of Inner Heaven and Earth; he values you highly."

Prince Xun laughed mockingly, saying nothing.

"After this battle, killing the Commandery Prince of Tian Xuan will probably be difficult," Tian Ku Bodhisattva slowly shook his head. "The poor monk should also go into hiding."

But Prince Xun pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "That might not be the case."

"Do you have another idea, Prince Xun?" Tian Ku Bodhisattva asked curiously.

"I have a Treasure, and coupled with the Commandery Prince of Tian Xuan's special situation, perhaps I can persuade my father to take action to eliminate this person," Prince Xun spoke softly.

"Oh?" Tian Ku Bodhisattva asked, "Wasn't it said that Prince Cheng Your Highness would not wish to leave Jingzhou before Proving? What kind of Treasure could actually move Prince Cheng Your Highness?"

Prince Xun glanced around, flipped his hand to bring out several Array Treasures one by one, and began setting up an Array, while saying, "Help me set up the Array foundation, Bodhisattva. We must not let a trace of this Treasure's aura leak out."

"Oh?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva raised his eyebrows slightly, interested in what kind of Treasure was so secretive?

Indeed, there are many Treasures whose aura is so mysterious that ordinary Barriers simply cannot block it; they must be suppressed by an Array.

This being Jingzhou, where strong people were everywhere, being more cautious was normal.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva promptly planted the Array foundations deep into the nearby earth, and in a moment, a great sun rose into the sky, forming a rather stable Array Barrier, enveloping the area.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva discovered, surprised, that these Array Treasures were of a high grade and were purely Trapping Arrays that could completely shield the aura, barely inferior to the Array he had set up in Primordial Mountain.

Truly befitting the child of Prince Cheng, to have two sets of such Array Treasures; he really did have a wealth of Treasures.

Soon, the Array was successfully set up.

"Now, will it suffice?" Tian Ku Bodhisattva said, "Even the aura of the most astonishing and whimsical Treasure, I suppose, can be isolated with this Array."

"Hmm, it should be enough."

Prince Xun nodded slightly and stretched out one hand, saying, "Look."

The next moment, a massive force akin to a collapsing mountain and roaring hurricane burst forth from within him, and a terrifying oppressive force suddenly erupted!

Tian Ku Bodhisattva was momentarily startled, subconsciously wondering what kind of Treasure's might was being unleashed, only to find that in the hands of Prince Xun before him, a pale silver long knife had suddenly appeared!

Then, he swung the knife fiercely towards him!
