Next, the four of them found a quiet place again and had a good chat.

The main issue was still Ye Tianxie's revenge.

For Ye Tianxie, the revenge for Zhao Yunchu killing him must definitely be taken. He would absolutely not be grateful to Zhao Yunchu for helping him activate the Life and Death Tribulation Physique.

But with Zhao Ziyue in the middle, it put Ye Tianxie in a dilemma.

He understood Zhao Ziyue. Zhao Ziyue was extremely loyal to the Zhao Clan royal family. Once Zhao Ziyue knew that her big brother was still alive and had become his killer, Zhao Ziyue would definitely stop him from taking revenge.

In that case, he and Zhao Ziyue might fall out.

This was not a situation he wanted to see.

However, Li Yun said, "That may not be the case!"

"By saying that, you might be underestimating this Ninth Princess. She might not know that her big brother Zhao Yunchu is still alive, but she probably knew long ago that the throne under the King of Xuanyue's backside did not belong to her."

"She actually knew long ago that she was just a tool!"

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Ye Tianxie was a little shocked and somewhat disbelieving.

Li Yun simply revealed the words Zhao Ziyue had said to him.

"I don't think Zhao Ziyue is just someone who passively accepts everything and is willing to sacrifice herself for the so-called glory of the Mystic Moon royal family."

"Perhaps, you should meet with her."

"Maybe you'll gain something else as well."

Hearing this, Ye Tianxie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Li Yun also didn't disturb him.

"I promised Zhao Ziyue that I would help her deal with the Peerless prodigies from Wantu Kingdom and Eastern Ling Country. It's almost time now, so I'll head back first."

"If you make a decision, go back to the cave. At that time, I'll have Zhao Ziyue go to that cave to find you."

After speaking.

Li Yun then left with Ding Bosheng, returning overnight to Zhao Ziyue's Princess Manor.

As soon as he arrived.

Li Yun noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

After asking Zhao Ziyue's subordinate Sun Yiqi, he learned that Zhao Ziyue seemed to have suffered some kind of blow after going to the Royal Palace, and shut herself in her room upon returning.

Li Yun didn't know what had happened, so he decided to go and see.

Li Yun knocked on the door.

There was still no movement inside the room, so he had to speak up: "It's me, Li Yun!"

Hearing Li Yun's voice, there was movement in the room. Zhao Ziyue quickly opened the door for him, but at the first sight of Zhao Ziyue, Li Yun was startled by her appearance.

"How could this happen? I haven't been gone for long, how did you become like this?"

Li Yun was a little disbelieving.

At this moment, Zhao Ziyue had completely lost her usual radiant and cheerful demeanor. On the contrary, she looked haggard, her face pale, as if she had lost a size in just one day.

Her eyes revealed deep despair.

Hearing Li Yun's concerned questioning, Zhao Ziyue showed a bitter smile.

"Come in!"

She let Li Yun into the room and closed the door.

Then she suddenly tightly hugged Li Yun from behind, with great force. Li Yun could even clearly feel the astonishing elasticity from Zhao Ziyue's graceful body.

Li Yun couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

To be honest, Li Yun didn't consider himself a Saint, but regarding Zhao Ziyue, ever since he first learned her identity, there had been no romantic feelings.

At most, he deliberately befriended her to expand his connections, and coincidentally, they became friends after experiencing Cloud Dragon Zen Temple together.

He came to participate in this Peerless prodigy competition not for Zhao Ziyue either.

He purely wanted to take the opportunity to vent, and incidentally, assert his presence from a distance to the Ye Huang and his group, warning them not to act rashly and letting them know that this young master was growing very quickly.

If you dare to mess around, next time, it will be you who dies.

But right now, Zhao Ziyue didn't seem to think that way, which was a bit awkward.

Li Yun also couldn't easily push Zhao Ziyue away.

He could only let her continue hugging him.

After a while, Zhao Zi Yue said faintly, "Prince is dead. The Evil Blade Supreme finally found the killer of Ye Tianxie. He killed Prince. King was furious about this and ordered me to find the Evil Blade Supreme within three days, or else he would personally suppress and kill me..."

"King actually thinks that I was covering for the Evil Blade Supreme, which allowed the Evil Blade Supreme to have the chance to kill Prince..."

"I really couldn't have imagined things would turn out like this!"

"Li Yun, take me away. Take me away from Mystic Moon Kingdom. Can you take me with you to Sky-Splitting Dynasty? I don't want to stay here for another day..."

Li Yun was instantly startled and abruptly turned around.

"What did you say?"

"Zhao Yunzong is dead, and the Evil Blade Supreme killed him?"

"Yes..."

"I also couldn't have imagined that killing Ye Tianxie was King's idea, and even more so, I couldn't have imagined that the Evil Blade Supreme would find out the truth so quickly and launch his revenge..."

"I simply don't understand why King would do this?"

Zhao Zi Yue looked bewildered.

Li Yun took a deep breath: "Did you guess this yourself, or did King say it personally?"

"I guess I figured it out myself..."

"King suddenly had someone summon me into the palace and severely reprimanded me, saying that Prince was dead. He personally investigated and found that Prince died under an evil and strange blade light, and no one except the Evil Blade Supreme could do it. Moreover, he seems to have determined that the Evil Blade Supreme is seeking revenge..."

"So I guessed that it was King who ordered Ye Tianxie killed, which is why he immediately determined that the Evil Blade Supreme was seeking revenge for Ye Tianxie..."

"But why?"

"Although Ye Tianxie acted a bit as he pleased, he didn't pose any threat at all..."

Li Yun was a bit speechless.

"You're probably overthinking this. This is likely a misunderstanding. I dare not say anything else, but to say that the Evil Blade Supreme infiltrated the Royal City and killed Zhao Yunzong, that's simply impossible!"

"It definitely wasn't him!"

"Ah, why... Wait, you've seen the Evil Blade Supreme?"

Zhao Zi Yue was extremely shocked to hear this.

Li Yun nodded: "That's right. To tell you the truth, I just separated from the Evil Blade Supreme. And these past few days, the Evil Blade Supreme hasn't left Ye Tianxie's side for a single step. It's impossible for him to have had the intention to infiltrate the Royal City."

"Someone else killed Zhao Yunzong, and that person should know who killed Ye Tianxie, thus taking advantage of the situation to frame the Evil Blade Supreme, who had vowed revenge... Hmm, I probably know who did it!"

"Well done!"

"Truly well done!"

"It seems that guy, after hiding for twenty years and suddenly reappearing, is a bit unwilling to remain so obscure... I was wondering why that guy would so impulsively kill Ye Tianxie."

"Offending the Evil Blade Supreme isn't a fun thing to do."

"So the root cause is here... Good scheme, truly a good scheme..."

A cold smile couldn't help but appear on Li Yun's face.

Zhao Zi Yue was even more shocked to hear this.

"Li Yun, what are you talking about? Who is that guy you're talking about..."

"Who else could it be?"

"Isn't it that big brother of yours who should have died twenty years ago, who in your eyes, should be steady and value family ties, the former Lord Crown Prince Zhao Yunchu!"
