Once Tantai Yueming said this, the Chu Emperor understood everything.
It turns out that his good son and daughter-in-law had already secretly begun cultivating.
They knew how much he longed to cultivate immortality, yet they never told him; this was what they called being filial to him.
Seeing her elder brother's gritted teeth, Tantai Yueming knew exactly what he was thinking.
She patted him on the shoulder with a smile and offered a word of comfort that wasn't really meant to be.
"Look on the bright side, you didn't practice that evil art, otherwise, even I couldn't protect you."
Tantai Yueming knew all too well how much Lin Jiujiu loathed that cultivation technique.
If his elder brother had indeed practiced that kind of technique and harmed innocent people, Tantai Yueming felt that, given Lin Jiujiu's personality, she would definitely not let him off the hook.
My own abilities were insufficient against that girl before she even began cultivating.
Not to mention that her cultivation level is now higher than his.
Furthermore, there's Baili Chenyuan; nominally, they're good brothers.
But he knew better than anyone that if it involved Lin Jiujiu, he wouldn't show her any mercy.
If Lin Jiujiu wanted to kill someone, he would probably be happy to hand her the knife.
When the Chu Emperor heard this, his expression was quite interesting; he didn't seem to be comforted at all.
However, he was also very clear about one thing: Tantai Yueming was not lying.
The Chu Emperor felt a pang of sympathy, but he still asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Are you sure the Crown Prince's wife also cultivates?"
How come he remembers that the Crown Princess grew up in the countryside? Could it be that she had some special opportunity when she was a child?
Seeing that he was still not giving up at this point, Tantai Yueming simply told him about Lin Xian'er's background and how he had sent people to kill her adoptive parents.
This also explains how they knew the origins of these monks.
However, the Chu Emperor quickly seized upon the loophole in his words.
"So, you were investigating those cultivators, and eventually traced it back to the Crown Prince and his wife?"
At this point, the Emperor of Chu's pupils contracted slightly, and then he said in a deep voice.
"Brother, tell me honestly, were you the one who did what happened in the outskirts of the capital?"
Tantai Yueming hadn't expected his elder brother to be so perceptive, noticing it so easily without him noticing.
Tantai Yueming had no intention of hiding it from him.
He touched his nose and laughed.
"Your Majesty thinks too highly of me. Even if my cultivation is higher than theirs, it doesn't mean I can kill thousands of cultivators by myself."
That being said, it was quite clear that Tantai Yueming did not intend to deny it.
The Chu Emperor instantly realized there was more to the story.
Although those people deserved to die, they were still citizens of the Great Chu. If they were to die, they should be punished by law, not by others resorting to private torture.
Seeing that the Chu Emperor's face was turning gloomy again, Tantai Yueming had to kindly remind him.
"Brother, I advise you not to be foolish for those scumbags. The people who will help you eliminate these cancers are Prince Baili Chenyuan of the State of Zhen and his princess Lin Jiujiu."
With their abilities, they wouldn't normally bother with such trivial matters in the mortal world; they simply couldn't stand seeing these people using the method of killing each other to cultivate.
Not to mention that the princess is not someone we can easily provoke.
"Even that Baili Chenyuan, if he wanted to, could destroy our little world with a mere wave of his sleeve or a flick of his finger."
Tantai Yueming's words sent a chill down the spine of the Chu Emperor, and at the same time, made him yearn for such powerful strength even more.
Thinking of the couple that Tantai Yueming mentioned, I couldn't help but feel a longing for them.
He asked.
"Is it really possible to cultivate such abilities as moving mountains and filling seas in the cultivation world?"
Tantai Yueming wanted to laugh at his ignorant attitude.
But considering his elder brother's feelings, he forced himself to suppress his smile.
"My brother's ability to move mountains and fill seas in the cultivation world is nothing special; our sect's ancestor could do it."
But Baili's abilities far exceeded that, and his wife was even more enigmatic.
The good things she could casually produce were things that not only he had never seen before, but even Baili Chenyuan would sometimes look surprised.
It can only be said that this couple has an even more impressive background than the last.
The Chu Emperor was quite surprised to hear what Tantai Yueming said.
"You mean, the Prince of Zhenwang is more capable than your sect's ancestor?"
The Chu Emperor was somewhat incredulous. Although he had never been to the cultivation world, he would always carefully inquire about the people that Tantai Yueming sent back each time.
He knew a little about some of the things.
Take, for example, the Sword Sect, where Tantai Yueming is located. Although it is a bit poor, its combat power is absolutely at the top level in the cultivation world.
Their sect's patriarch could be said to be able to roam freely in the cultivation world.
But now he says that even their sect's patriarch is no match for that person, how could the Chu Emperor not be alarmed?
He can now say he is very fortunate that when the man offered him the status of a prince of the state, he did not refuse.
The Chu Emperor swallowed hard and pointed to the sky.
"You mean, he might come from that real immortal realm?"
If one is not an immortal, how could one accomplish these things?
Tantai Yueming had never really considered this possibility before.
His guess was that Baili Chenyuan must come from a reclusive, powerful family.
Upon closer reflection, if that were true, the difference wouldn't be that significant. However, his elder brother's speculation has opened up a new avenue for him to explore.
"hiss……"
Tantai Yueming couldn't help but gasp, realizing that her brother's guess might actually be quite reasonable.
He just hadn't dared to think about it before.
If that's true, then if the immortals can come down from above, can they also ascend to heaven?
Thinking of this, Tantai Yueming felt a surge of passion in her heart.
I wish I could run to Baili Chenyuan right now and ask him for an explanation.
When the Chu Emperor saw his expression, he knew he had asked in vain; his foolish younger brother knew absolutely nothing.
But if that's the case, then I really can't cause them any trouble regarding the mountain valley.
Putting aside his status as a prince of the State of Zhen, with Baili Chenyuan's strength alone, who would dare to make him uncomfortable?
But the Chu Emperor thought of something else.
"Now that they have entered the capital, shouldn't I personally go and pay them a visit?"
Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Tantai Yueming suddenly realized that his elder brother was truly flexible and self-aware.
There was no mention of him bringing Baili Chenyuan and his wife to pay their respects.
Since he was sensible, considering that Lin Jiujiu had given him the Longevity Pill at the city gate today, he figured she probably didn't have any ill feelings towards his elder brother.
Since we'll have to meet them sooner or later anyway, it might not be a bad idea to take their elder brother to see them.
Thinking this, Tantai Yueming picked up the communication stone and activated it in her hand.
Soon, there was a response from the other end.
"Tantai, what is it?"
Baili Chenyuan's voice carried a hint of laziness and indifference.
But Tantai Yueming could still tell from his tone that he was in a pretty good mood.
So he simply got straight to the point.
"My elder brother knows you have come to the capital and he would like to pay you a visit. Are you available?"
