All the previous news about the Dragon Empire came from this person with the alias 'Miss Meng'.
But apart from this alias, they had no other contact. Now, news of her betrayal has come, which is not a good thing for Fengchi Villa.
Although both parties used pseudonyms in their communications and had no other dealings except for buying and selling information, there was no guarantee that this "Miss Meng" had not investigated them privately, just as they had used all their strength to investigate that Miss Meng.
It is very easy for the people of the Dragon Empire to investigate the four continents. Even if they are careful enough, there is no guarantee that there will not be any negligence or omissions.
But on the contrary, if the people from the Four Continents wanted to investigate the people from the Dragon Empire, it would be harder than ascending to heaven. Even the information they got might have been resold several times.
If Miss Meng was interested, she would naturally do something about it and follow the clues to get to the bottom of it.
In the past, they lived in peace and benefited from each other, but now, she suddenly betrayed them, and they didn't know what would be waiting for Fengchi Villa.
So after getting the news, I rushed over as soon as possible.
I didn’t expect Ling Yuan to be in seclusion at this time!
"What should we do?" The four grown men who had always been confident of victory showed such anxious looks for the first time.
Although Ling Yuan has closed her five senses to the outside world, Hei'e and Bai Zha can enter and exit her spiritual sea freely.
Several people were just outside Lingyuan's door. Even if they wanted to ignore them, they couldn't, especially since this involved the fate of the entire Fengchi Villa and they couldn't be careless.
The two looked at each other and instinctively passed the message to Ling Yuan who was at a critical moment.
Ling Yuan had never practiced in his own space before, so he had no idea how abundant the spiritual energy in the space was.
This time she entered the space to practice with her real body, and in half a month, she actually reached the ninth level of martial artist, which is a jump of six levels in a row!
He was at level nine martial artist, just one step away from becoming a martial king. But at this moment, news came that Miss Meng had rebelled.
Even though Ling Yuan was eager for quick success, he had to stop practicing.
By the time Ling Yuan adjusted her state and walked out of the space, it was already late at night.
When she opened the door and saw her four brothers squatting in the corner, her eyes turned red with excitement and tears fell down.
During the practice, the effect of the medicine on her body wore off and she had recovered to her spirit kite form.
"Yuan'er, are you out of seclusion?"
Seeing Ling Yuan, the four of them stood up at the same time and walked towards her. No one was in a hurry to talk, but instead looked at her with concern, which made Ling Yuan feel even warmer in her heart.
"Brothers, your sister is fine. I've heard what happened inside. What's going on? Let's go to the flower hall and talk."
Even after being in seclusion for many days, Ling Yuan did not look tired at all, but instead looked full of energy.
Compared with her brothers who were anxious and angry, her condition was actually the best.
But even so, Su Yu arranged midnight snacks for them as soon as possible.
While eating, everyone gave a detailed report on Miss Meng's condition.
After hearing this, Ling Yuan suddenly realized, "No wonder there has been no news for so long. I thought something had happened to her, but I never thought she would betray me. Fortunately, we all used aliases at the beginning, but,"
The worries of his brothers are exactly what Ling Yuan is worried about. After all, if you walk by the river often, it is inevitable that you will get your feet wet.
"Brothers, don't worry too much. We Fengchi only have a general business relationship with this Miss Meng. It does not involve the major forces of the Dragon Empire. So even if she investigates our origins, it will not cause any harm."
"There are so many forces in the Four Continents. Are we the only ones who are concerned about the direction of the Dragon Empire? There are so many people in the same situation as us. It's not worth taking it seriously at all."
"But sister, the eldest prince failed in his bid for the throne this time, and disappeared at such a critical moment."
"With the news of Miss Meng's betrayal coming at this time, it's hard not to connect them together."
"Especially, you are not only Feng Yan, but also Ling Yuan. If they knew the relationship between Feng Yan and Ling Yuan, how could they ignore it?"
Feng Yan ruined their plans for the Four Nations Gala, and Ling Yuan ruined their plans for the City That Never Sleeps.
Although we don’t know who is behind the scenes yet, we are certain that this person has been coveting Sifang for a long time and has the ambition to control Sifang.
If it weren't for Feng Yan and Ling Yuan, I'm afraid the Sifang Continent would not be as peaceful as it is now.
If one is careful, it is difficult not to find the flaw, which is why they rushed over in a hurry.
It has to be said that their experience in the martial arts world is indeed much richer than Ling Yuan's. They have thought of so much in just one round.
Ling Yuan just thought that her brother was making a fuss out of nothing, but after their analysis, she fell silent.
After a long while, he looked at them with a very apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that my unintentional behavior would plant such a big hidden danger in the future."
"But I can't just watch so many lives disappear in front of my eyes. Even if I could turn back time, I would still do the same thing."
"Silly sister, we don't mean to blame you. If we blame you, then what will we become?"
"How can I blame you for a matter involving human lives? Moreover, you said you did it for the Four Continents, but in fact, wasn't it for ourselves?"
The zombie poison is a virus that is more terrifying than the plague. If it really spreads to the four countries like the plague, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"So what do you think, brothers, how should we deal with this next?"
The worst outcome now is that the other party really knows her true identity, which will bring trouble to Feng Chi.
"Now we need to know which force in the Dragon Empire designed the Never-Sleeping City and the Four-Directions Festival."
Shen Si's words were immediately echoed by several others.
Ling Yuan stroked his chin and looked at them with raised eyebrows: "Brothers, who do you think it is?"
Su Yu and the others exchanged glances quickly, and at the same time wrote a clear word "big" on the table.
Great, great prince, the result speaks for itself.
Ling Yuan nodded. "I also guessed it was him, but I don't understand why he failed this time? After all, the man who could plan the two despicable plans of the Four-Directions Festival and the City That Never Sleeps shouldn't have lost so miserably."
Su Yu and the others have actually been thinking about this problem. The fact that the eldest prince was able to recruit a talent like Hong Xie, especially since Hong Xie is not dead yet, means that there is a possibility that the zombie poison will break out again.
But even in this situation, they did not use this trump card. What does this mean?
"It's a pity that we can't go to the Dragon Empire for the time being. Once we go in, it will be very difficult to come back. Otherwise, I would have gone in long ago."
Upon hearing what Huamao said, Ling Yuandeng's eyes widened immediately, "Could it be that the strength of the brothers has reached the level of Martial King?"
Su Yu looked Ling Yuan up and down, and patted her on the shoulder in appreciation: "Sister, your speed makes us ashamed. You have already reached the ninth level of martial artist, and you are just one step away from success!"
Su Yu's reminder immediately attracted several other eager inquiries. This investigation was very serious. Huamao looked at Ling Yuan as if he were a monster.
"When you were in the Never-Sleeping City, you were only a first-level martial artist, right? Shortly after you left the Never-Sleeping City, you were a third-level martial artist. But now, in the blink of an eye, you have jumped to the sixth level? How can you let us live?"
Before Ling Yuan could speak, Su Yu did not forget to attack him eagerly: "You may not know yet, before this girl went into seclusion, oh, that is, half a month ago, she was still a third-level martial artist. In other words, she has risen six levels in half a month."
"monster!"
"abnormal!"
"You didn't take any medicine, did you? Isn't this speed a bit too fast?"
In the Four Continents, there are also people who rely on elixirs to advance.
The direct consequence of the elixir's promotion is that the strength becomes extremely unstable and there is a possibility of going astray at any time.
It is indeed incredible that Ling Yuan was able to be promoted to the ninth level of martial artist in such a short time.
Apart from taking medicine, they couldn't think of anything else that could have caused such a terrible result.
Ling Yuan shook her head. "I know the consequences of the elixir, so how could I use it recklessly?"
"No, I don't know why, it's like the breath I was holding was released in an instant."
"My strength is rising rapidly and I can't stop it."
"If it weren't for you, I would have broken through to the Martial King by now."
When the four men heard this, they wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves.
Damn, this is too depressing. What do you mean he might become a martial king? What do you mean he can't stop it?
Sister, when you say this, can you please consider the feelings of your brothers?
It is obviously very difficult to reach the last level of Martial King from Level Nine Martial Artist, okay?
But what this girl said was as relaxed as if she was talking about 'the weather is nice today'.
Doesn't she know how difficult it is for them to advance to the next level?
Originally, they were considered the best among the cultivators in the Four Continents, but when compared with Ling Yuan, they realized how inferior they were.
Even so, she is still practicing in a half-hearted way. If she had been serious from the beginning, how terrifying would her strength be now?
What's more, they are still practicing in the Four Continents, where the spiritual energy is thin. If they were to go to the Dragon Empire, Ling Yuan's strength...
They simply didn't dare to think about it.
Alas, this topic is too heavy. Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken. They should change the topic.
"Then do you think the eldest prince's disappearance this time is a conspiracy?"
“It’s possible!”
Han Jin's doubts were immediately echoed by the others, and Ling Yuan's words were particularly eye-opening.
"Will he change his target and take this opportunity to leave the Dragon Empire and come to our Four Continents?"
Ling Yuan's blunt words startled the four people at the same time, "No way?"
"How could it not be possible? It would be much easier for the people of the Dragon Empire to sneak into our territory than it is for us."
Han Jin and Shen Si frowned at the same time, Ling Yuan rolled his eyes with a hint of smile.
"As the saying goes, what is coming will eventually come. I really want to meet this eldest prince. Brothers, please stop being so sentimental."
"After all, if we really have to face this eldest prince in the future, it will not be just Fengchi's family. Don't forget what he did to Sifang!"
"You mean, we can release this news quietly?"
Ling Yuan nodded, "That's not a bad idea. It will make everyone more careful. If something does happen in the future, at least we won't be fighting alone."
At least the Ling family, the Never-Sleeping City, Yu Hen, Wei Jie and others would never associate with such people.
As for other organizations, any organization with a little conscience and ambition will not do that.
Unity is strength. Even if the eldest prince wants to use the four parties, he has to see whether they agree or not.
"Girl, the Ling family has formed a united front with Yaowang Valley, and even Qixia and Mingyu have shown up. It seems that the world of the Four Continents is really going to change."
"In that case, why are we hesitating?"
Fengchi has kept a low profile until now and is lacking an opportunity to enter the world. Now that several other forces have made their positions clear, how can they be willing to lag behind?
"Which force does my sister want to merge with?"
"Ling Family, Yaowang Valley, and the City That Never Sleeps."
She has an indispensable position and voice in these three forces, and if they cooperate with each other in the future, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, I will jointly release it soon."
"Count me in." Su Yu naturally represented the Su family's position.
Although the Su family is not as prominent as before, its wealth cannot be ignored.
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Han Jin, Shen Si and Hua Mao, representing the General's Mansion of Mei Kingdom, the Dingxi Marquis Mansion of Yan Kingdom, the Hua Palace of Tiandu Kingdom and Fengchi Villa respectively, united their front.
That night, the three of them left Siyou Kingdom overnight. Within three days, news came one after another that shocked the four countries.
Of course, before this, the news had already reached the Fengwang Mansion.
Compared to the surprise of Qingchen and the others, only Wei Jie didn't seem surprised at all.
"Seventh Brother, it's fine that Lingjia Manor and Yaowang Valley are standing together, but why is Fengchi Mountain Manor also joining in the fun? And the fourth young master of Fengchi has completely disregarded the face of the emperors of various countries and linked his family with Fengchi Mountain Manor. By doing this, have they ever thought about the consequences?"
"This fourth young master of Fengchi is quite courageous!" Qing Ye said this out of the blue with a serious look on his face.
"You call this courageous? Who knows what a mess their family is in right now!"
Qingchen snorted coldly with a look of disdain. In his opinion, this was entirely the opinion of these four guys themselves and definitely did not represent the position of their family.
"So what? The result has been announced to the world. Even if they come out to deny it, it's too late. Execute first and report later. Although it's a bit cliché, it sometimes works like this!"
Qingye disagreed, but Qingchen thought they were too self-righteous.
The argument between the two fell into the cold and gloomy eyes of Qingxuan, who was dressed in gray, but he just sighed softly and then looked out the window thoughtfully.
"With the turmoil in the Dragon Empire, the peaceful days of the four continents will probably last only a few days."
Qing Yu, who was dressed in green and as beautiful as jade, was silent for a moment and looked at Wei Jie: "Your Majesty, Prince Li sent a message that he has successfully met the Emperor of Tiandu Country and successfully recognized him. I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before Prince Li returns to Tiandu Country."
Wei Jie nonchalantly raised his head from the desk, glanced at the four people, then put down his pen and lay back lazily.
"It's only a matter of time before Wei Li returns to the Tiandu Kingdom. Before the old emperor reveals his identity, I'm afraid he will have to stay there and deal with things in secret. During this time, you should pay more attention to Prince Rong's Mansion."
"Yes." Even now, Qingchen still couldn't believe the fact that Wei Li was actually the prince of Tiandu Kingdom.
They were originally curious about Wei Li's identity, but they were shocked when they checked.
When his seventh brother came to Wei Li to negotiate, Wei Li did not expect that they would find out his identity so quickly.
If it weren't for this, Wei Li wouldn't have compromised so quickly and joined forces with them.
Of course, facts proved that he was wise, otherwise, his seventh brother would never have been so dedicated to treating Wei Ziheng.
Even though they are a family and brothers on the surface, given Wei Jie's personality, he would definitely not be so proactive.
To make him do this, it must be something that is above all else.
Of course, the contractual relationship between them is more than that...
"Your Highness, the princess is back and is heading to Youyue Lake." Suddenly, the secret guard's usual low and hoarse voice came from outside the door.
Wei Jie raised his eyebrows, "Why did you come back?"
"Horse a horse!" After he finished speaking, his voice paused, and then he continued: "The brothers guarding the city gate have not sent back any news. The princess, it's as if she appeared out of thin air."
Wei Jie raised his eyebrows, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his lips: "Got it."
This girl is really bold. Does she really think that his IQ can be fooled like this?
"Your Majesty?"
Wei Jie gave them a look and said, "Just do what you need to do."
"Qingchen, you stay." Finally, Wei Jie asked Qingchen to stay alone. "How are the arrangements at the Shangguan family going?"
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother, the journey has been smooth, but..."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Wei Jie did not intend to explain too much, "When the time comes, you will naturally know. Now, you should just stay confused."
Qingchen curled his lips secretly, "Then you might as well not say this!"
Wei Jie glanced at him, and Qingchen shrank his shoulders. "Well, is it okay if I don't tell you? You should think about how to explain the matter of that woman to the little princess!"
Wei Jie glanced at him coldly, "Does this need to be explained? Do you think she is the same as you?"
Qingchen didn't understand at first. When he realized it, Ling Yuan had already gone directly to the medicine garden. Wei Jie didn't even show up.
In other words, in her eyes, Du Yin is more important than this so-called Xia Yunhe?
He immediately looked at Wei Jie with some displeasure, "Seventh Brother, you have found a good princess like Xiaoqi Huangsao who cares about you in everything. This is truly a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes."
I thought Wei Jie would ignore his words, but I didn't expect that this person who was not good at explaining would actually nod at him for the first time and said, "So, you should be nicer to your Seventh Sister-in-law in the future."
Damn, is this still their seventh brother?
This is the first time I agree with him after all these years.
Wait, this isn't right? What do you mean he is good to their Seventh Princess?
Shouldn't it be your husband who treats her well? What does this have to do with him?
Unfortunately, when he raised his neck to ask for clarification, Wei Jie had already waved his sleeves and left~~
Qingchen was left facing his back, baring his teeth and grinning. As expected, no married man is normal.
He is becoming more and more unprincipled in what he says and does.
Ling Yuan did not come back directly from outside the city, but circled around the city several times before returning to Fengwang Mansion.
She knew that Wei Jie's men must have set up control at the city gate, and it would be too deliberate if she came back under their noses.
So I simply skipped that step. It took about forty days from the time she left to the time she came back, and that was enough to make it work.
In other words, Wei Jie had doubts about her, but he didn't go to the extent of investigating all her ancestors.
That's why Ling Yuan is so bold.
Curious, who isn't? She was also very curious about Wei Jie. Ever since she met him, this man had always been very low-key.
It didn't seem as exaggerated as the legend said, but she understood that it was all because the time had not yet come.
Moreover, she was not afraid of him investigating. Even if he turned the world upside down, he would not be able to figure out how she went to the city that never sleeps and how she came back.
He could suspect Feng Yuan and Feng Chi, but he would definitely not associate Ling Yuan and Feng Chi together.
Poor girl, her failure lies in her self-confidence.
What she thought was natural was completely flawed in the eyes of others.
These seemingly meaningless actions are actually purposeful tests by others.
In the end, her self-confidence, which she was most proud of, and possibilities that normal people could never imagine, were actually remembered by someone.
Unfortunately, by the time she realized it, she had already been taken advantage of by a man and was toyed around with like a pet.
