At least there are clear markings on which direction and which area can lead into the Far North restricted area, as well as some powerful races that need to be paid attention to near the intersections.

"Thank you for your preparation, Xiangzun. With the help of this map, I think I can enter the Far North Forbidden Zone more easily and achieve my goal this time."

After dealing with these matters, Emperor Yunlong was very satisfied. He personally drafted an edict on the spot and asked Prime Minister Xuanwu to prepare it.

After seeing this scene, Xu Yang's team did not plan to stay in this palace for long, so they said goodbye to Emperor Yunlong and promised him that they would set out from the Xuanyuan Imperial City within three days and head straight to the Far North Forbidden Area.

In fact, the so-called three-day preparation period was dispensable to Xu Yang. He just wanted to use these three days to learn as many secrets inside the Xuanyuan Imperial City as possible, and personally witness the imperial edict being announced to the world to prevent any other tricks from happening.

After the group left the main hall of the imperial palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief instinctively. Only Xu Yang remained calm and composed, not feeling any pressure at all.

“Oh my God, Boss, you actually agreed to His Majesty’s request so easily?

As soon as you hear about the heart of the sacred beast, you know that it may be impossible to obtain it no matter how difficult it is.

It's not so difficult for us guys. After all, the obsession that has troubled us for so many years was accomplished with your help. Even if we lose it again, we can already accept it.

But for you, if you fail to obtain the heart of the holy beast, you will probably let down all the cultivators in the world!"

However, Xu Yang did not think like that at all, "Just imagine, the Heart of the Holy Beast is a top-level divine object that even the Central Region Royal Family dreams of.

Then for the Far North Forbidden Zone, it must be extremely difficult to see the supreme inheritance once. How could such a precious thing be destroyed so easily?

As long as it is not completely destroyed, it is not impossible for me to get it. "

Although the natural domineering attitude revealed in his words completely shocked everyone in the Eight Gates Team, it seemed as if Xu Yang was born with a leadership temperament, and any difficulties and oppressive forces would automatically and consciously wilted in front of him.

In any case, the new mission has been accepted and Xu Yang has no more choices. He also takes this opportunity to visit the last area of ​​Yingzhou Continent that he has never touched before.

On the other hand, Xu Yang seemed to have developed a strong interest in the Ten Directions Beast King Formation, which the Central Domain royal family attached so much importance to.

"My Lord, have you ever heard of the secrets of this formation?"

The prince shook his head, which was rare.

"You also know that I have been staying in the martial arts world for a long time, and almost all the forces in the court have been eliminated by my elder brother and second brother.

What kind of tricks are they planning on a daily basis?

I know nothing about it. If I hadn't gone with you to meet the Emperor today, I wouldn't have even heard of the name of this formation."

Lao Wu didn't seem to be in such a high mood. He had been particularly silent since he came out of the palace.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, you don't need to worry so much. Don't you think that deep down in the heart of Emperor Yunlong, the child he most desires to achieve is you?"

When the Fifth Prince heard what Xu Yang said, a shocking light immediately lit up in his eyes.

"How do you interpret this, Your Excellency?"

Xu Yang smiled and spoke slowly.

"It's simple. You've done so many things recently. With Yunlong Tiandi's temper, he should be furious and punish you severely.

But he didn't do that. He just gave you a small punishment symbolically without hurting you at all. This is not what a father who is worried about his child threatening him should do.

Another and most important point is that he did not feel the slightest bit of anger towards you because of my existence. Instead, he was proud of you for making friends with our group of people. Don’t you think this is very unusual?”

The prince just shook his head helplessly, "That's because he needs your help. The mission of the Sacred Beast's Heart sounds quite serious.

I'm afraid you're the only one in the entire continent who can help accomplish this goal. He just didn't take his anger out on me out of your consideration."

This time, without waiting for Xu Yang to speak, Xiaohua took over the conversation and began to comfort the Fifth Prince.

"I don't think so. Just imagine that this task actually fell on Ayang, and he was brought into the palace by you.

It means more like a test. If he succeeds in obtaining the Heart of the Holy Beast and returns triumphantly this time, his reputation and position will surely be greatly improved within the entire Xuanyuan Imperial City.

And with the rise of Ayang, it also means that you, the prince who is in the same camp as us, will also have unparalleled say among the seven princes.

By that time, the eldest prince and the second prince, who have excessively controlled the power of the palace, will be greatly threatened by your existence. And by that time, you, Your Majesty, will be the most favored one among the seven princes.

His Majesty's goal has naturally been achieved. On the one hand, he wants to suppress the eldest and second princes as much as possible by supporting you and Ayang, and on the other hand, he wants to let his most beloved son get the position he deserves."

As expected, Xiaohua was obviously more capable of comforting people than Xu Yang. After she said this, the pressure in the Fifth Prince's heart suddenly disappeared as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up into a smile.

"I hope so. If it is really as you said, then entering the palace this time should be a good thing for us.

Everyone, take a good rest in the next three days. I will also make some preparations and set off with you."

However, as soon as the Fifth Prince's order was issued, the expression on Xu Yang's face was completely different.

"If my judgment is correct, we will not be able to travel together on the next trip to the Far North.

If it goes as I expected, before tomorrow night, the new arrangements for our team will be delivered to us in the form of an imperial edict in the tone of His Majesty the Emperor.

The content should be that the Eight Gates team returns to their own fiefdom city, and Xiaohua and I will be assigned new teammates by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

As for who these new teammates are?

I have no way to be absolutely sure right now.

But judging by our experiences along the way, we should be able to guess roughly.

One of them is the young man who was riding the white tiger beast we met in the mountains.
