Upon hearing this, everyone in the room, as well as the officials in the court, all changed their expressions drastically. Who would have thought that Xu Yu had such weighty evidence in his hands?

Many people were even a little jealous, because according to Xu Yu, Yu Yanluo and he were always together and addressed each other very intimately. They never expected that the most beautiful woman in the capital who was pursued by countless people but was ignored would finally fall into a man's arms.

What merits does this kid Zu'an possess? He has no illustrious bearing, his cultivation is not outstanding, and his appearance is only so-so. How did he manage to win Yu Yanluo's favor?

Bi Linglong was also quite jealous. After all, Yu Yanluo's reputation was too great, and Zu An had caused so much trouble to save this woman. She couldn't help but feel the absurdity that her own man had cheated on her and she had to clean up his mess.

Pei Mianman glared at Zu An with annoyance. This guy had disappeared without a word for so long, and sure enough, he was having a good time with other women. I had been worried sick day and night.

Seeing the string of anger points he received in the backend, Zu An was also at a loss. He hurriedly said, "I don't understand what you're saying, Lord Xu. The Snake Clan is more than ten thousand miles away from here. There is also the forbidden zone of life, the Great Snow Mountain, in between. If there is any news from there, how could it be sent to you so quickly?"

He himself rode on a whirlwind and had a strange encounter before returning. How could a spy possibly be faster than him in delivering a message?

“Lord Zu is not an official on the frontier, so he probably doesn’t know these details,” Xu Yu laughed. He didn’t expect that after being mocked, the other party would be able to return the favor so quickly. “We sent spies to the demon race, so we know that the two places are far apart. If there is any urgent military situation, it would take too much time to go back and forth, which might delay the military situation. Therefore, the teachers in the National Academy invented a simplified version of the audio-visual mirror.”

"You can send text directly, and we'll receive it immediately."

"This avoids the need for a huge amount of elemental stones to activate the audio-visual mirror, and also prevents the spatial fluctuations from being too large and thus being discovered, which better protects the safety of those spies."

"These spies are recorded in the most secret archives of the Embroidery Tower. Their loyalty is absolutely reliable. The Emperor and Commander-in-Chief Zhu Xie can personally verify them."

Upon hearing this, the room erupted in uproar. Those who were not of a higher rank asked what was going on, while some of the higher-ups explained the relevant rules and regulations to them.

Eternal God Emperor

Zu An's expression also changed. He knew that there was a top-secret archive in the Embroidery Tower, which only Zhu Xie Chixin could enter and exit. Even the Gold Medal Embroidered Uniform Guards were not allowed to enter. He did not expect that it was where the intelligence of these spies was hidden.

Judging from Xu Yu's description, this so-called simplified audio-visual mirror is similar to the telegram in my previous life. I never expected that the cultivation world would achieve the same goal in a different way.

It's all because he's not from this world; he doesn't know many things that are considered common sense, which is why he sometimes suffers such great losses.

"Since you have such evidence, why didn't you present it sooner?" Bi Linglong's voice rang out. She noticed Zu An's silence and assumed he was distracted.

He then spoke up to help him out of the predicament, giving him time to think of a solution.

Xu Yu replied, "Your Highness, the reason we didn't bring it out before was to protect our spies. These spies risk their lives in foreign lands, doing things that could cost them their lives. Once their identities are exposed, their fate will be extremely tragic."

Originally, they thought they could destroy Zaun with other evidence, but unexpectedly, a "gold medalist" appeared first, and then Zaun reappeared. They had no choice but to reveal their trump card.

At the same time, he was worried that although he was loyal to the emperor, he had offended the crown princess, and his fate might not be good after the crown prince ascended the throne.

He glanced furtively at the King of Qi, wondering if they would have to split their bets...

At this moment, the others immediately began to discuss among themselves, especially expressing their highest respect for the spies who had risked their lives to infiltrate the demon race.

Zu An frowned and said calmly, "Lord Xu's words are probably not only untrue, but as far as I know, the demon race is extremely hostile to the human race because of their defeat in the war. Perhaps human spies from other races can still infiltrate, but how could a human spy hide among the snake race, which has obvious demon characteristics, without being discovered?"

He had just been recalling his time with the snake clan and was quite certain that there were no humans among them. After all, if he could hear Yu Yanluo addressing him, they couldn't be too far away.

Once he started, officials from the Crown Prince's faction echoed his sentiments, since the questioning was reasonable.

Xu Yu glanced at Zu An with a half-smile: "Lord Zu seems to know quite a bit about the Snake Clan. Have you ever been there?"

Zu An cursed under his breath, "Old fox, you're always digging traps for me." He continued, "Hasn't Lord Xu heard the saying, 'Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run'? I am, after all, the Crown Prince's son. In order not to disappoint the Emperor's high expectations and not to delay the Crown Prince's studies, I naturally need to learn about all kinds of knowledge. And the demon race is the great enemy of the human race. The Crown Prince will inevitably face these things in the future, so they are naturally my key research subjects."

Hearing the implication in his words that the crown prince would ascend the throne in the future, the King of Qi's face twitched slightly. Sometimes he wanted to join forces with this guy, and sometimes he really wanted to kill him.

On the contrary, the officials from the Crown Prince's faction nodded in approval. Bi Qi, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, thought to himself, "No wonder my daughter is so determined to protect him. This guy is indeed a talent."

Xu Yu's breath hitched. Faced with the questioning from the officials of the Eastern Palace, he had no choice but to explain: "To be honest, this spy in the Snake Clan is not human. He is a Snake Clan member whom we have spent a lot of effort to buy off. The Grand Commander can find out this by checking the records."
