Moran City, East District, a small courtyard.
"Big brother, the Young Sect Leader already sent a message, asking whatâs the situation now?"
Hu Tian hurriedly walked in.
Upon hearing this, Hu Wei put down the book in his hand, his brow furrowing deeply.
Their brothers really only came to Moran City to purchase Spirit Rice, and did nothing else.
Itâs not that they didnât want to, but because the Three Judicial Departments were investigating too strictly now.
They didnât dare have the slightest movement, once discovered, with their early-stage Profound Realm strength, they would surely die!
"Big brother, say something, will you."
Hu Tian urged, he felt so anxious, but his big brother seemed unaffected.
"Say what?"
Hu Wei responded with a question, his younger brother was simply too impetuous.
"The Young Sect Leader asked, how should we reply!"
"Just like what we discussed before, the Three Judicial Departments patrol daily, no information has been obtained yet, letâs wait until things relax a bit."
Hu Wei replied in a deep voice.
"Will that do?"
Hu Tian showed worry, though this was the plan, it had been some time now.
No information at all, when the Young Sect Leader blames them... they brothers would be in trouble.
"Alright, just reply like that."
Finishing speaking, Hu Wei picked up the book again, reading with calm concentration.
Itâs not that he wasnât anxious, but in such a situation, absolutely no mistakes could be made, otherwise, they would be stuck in this small Moran City forever.
"Well... alright then!"
Hu Tian sighed slightly, he had always relied on his big brother since childhood.
As he was about to leave to reply, a maid brought in tea, slightly bowing her head, "Greetings, sir."
But Hu Tian had no mood to talk to her, not even looking, he walked past her.
The maid glanced sideways.
"Come in."
At this moment, Hu Weiâs voice sounded, the maid hurriedly walked in and carefully placed the freshly brewed tea.
"You may leave."
"Yes, sir."
The maid softly replied with her head down.
From start to finish, Hu Weiâs eyes never left the book in his hands.
The maid went to the kitchen, giving a subtle look to a man inside, and quickly slipped a note under a dish, then swiftly left the kitchen.
The man noticed and quickly came over, instantly taking the note.
He opened it, then swallowed it down.
Soon, the message reached Zhuo Wu.
"Seems they are in a hurry."
But he wasnât worried at all, after all, this pair of brothers was completely under his watch.
Communication is communication.
However, he reminded, "Let there be no carelessness, report immediately if they make any moves."
"Yes, Boss."
The visitor responded, then bowed to Zhuo Wu and quickly left.
...
Jiuxian County.
"So you mean, after all this time, thereâs still no news?"
Yuan Qingâs voice was somewhat displeased.
The killing of Huyan Blade by the Shadow Guard of the Great Yu was a tremendous disgrace to Hidden Kill, yet after so long, they still hadnât found out the truth.
Voices of dissatisfaction had already surfaced among the Nine Gates.
"Yes, sir, the message said that the Three Judicial Departments are patrolling daily now, they dare not make the slightest move."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing fell silent.
Because he knew it was true, now even the Nine Gates felt it, so they couldnât help but keep a much lower profile.
"Sir Yuan Qing, shall I send another Dao Realm one to try?"
The clone tentatively asked.
"Letâs leave it for now, wait for the situation to settle a bit."
Hidden Kill had quite a few in the Dao Realm, but they were not easily expendable, sending one at this time could likely lead to demise.
One Huyan Blade had already died.
The blow to Hidden Kill was significant enough.
"Yes!"
Seeing the Communication Spirit Talisman return to normal, the cloneâs lips slightly curled up.
"Seems itâs time to thank Zhan Tian again."
...
Prince Xuanâs Mansion.
In the study, Chen Xuan put down the Communication Spirit Talisman in his hand.
The clone had just given him a general account of what was said between Yuan Qing and him.
"Itâs good to have someone to manage things."
Now it seemed, this cloneâs arrangement was so well-done it was like a divine move.
Basically, there wasnât much to worry about from Hidden Killâs side.
If any signals arose, he would get the news at the first moment.
"If Zhou is really training the clone as the next leader, that would be quite amusing."
Chen Xuan murmured, a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.
"If only there could be a version of myself on the Great Yuâs side as well."
Impossible!
Shaking his head with a smile, based on the twin Secret Technique given by Jing Shishu, and the Martial Dao records he consulted, a person can only refine one clone.
For decades, no one in the Great Yu had ever refined a second one.
So this idea was just a thought.
"A clone wonât do... what about myself?"
Being able to infiltrate the Imperial City would be best, and he could also find an opportunity to enter the Three Judicial Departments.
Thinking of this, a person suddenly popped into Chen Xuanâs mind.
Murong Chuan!
"Is it feasible?"
Chen Xuan couldnât decide in his heart, ultimately he still feared that old monster Zhan Tian.
No one among these people in the Great Yu was simple, not only were their strengths abnormal, but their thoughts were also hard to grasp.
Eventually.
"No rush, wait until breaking through to the fifth Dao Tier before considering."
"And those Arrays have not been deciphered yet."
...
After seven days, YaoâEr finally returned to the Imperial City.
Showing the Token, the city gate guards immediately displayed respectful expressions, "Please enter, sir!"
"Hmm!"
YaoâEr responded lightly.
After entering the Imperial City, she headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
