Chapter 13 Returns, Second Prince's Residence Attacked
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on acquiring your first pet, completing the hidden achievement, and obtaining the Eye of Insight and one million high-grade spirit stones!"
At this time, the system sound sounded again.
"Hidden quest, Eye of Insight?"
Ying Chen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected to not only gain a five-clawed golden dragon, but also complete a hidden quest.
"Eye of Insight: A supreme divine power that allows one to see through appearances to the essence, to view information about others, and their attitudes towards the host..."
After reading the description of the Eye of Insight, Ying Chen's eyes lit up. What a great item!
With the Eye of Insight, Ying Chen could assess the loyalty of his subordinates, and also use it to identify anyone who might infiltrate his inner circle...
Ying Chen turned his gaze to Zhao Yun...
Name: Zhao Yun
Strength: Mid-stage Nascent Soul
Identity: White Horse General under the Liang King of the Great Qin Dynasty
Loyalty: 100 (Die-hard)
He then looked at Guo Jia, whose stats were almost identical to Zhao Yun's...
Ying Chen stroked his chin. The characters summoned by the system should all be loyal to him, so he could rest assured.
Finally, he turned his gaze to the five-clawed golden dragon cub to see if non-human species could also use the Eye of Insight.
Name: Xiao Jin
Strength: Peak Nascent Soul Stage
Identity: Pet Beast of the Liang King of the Qin Dynasty
Loyalty: 100 (Die-hard)
"As expected, the Eye of Insight is effective against both humans and other creatures..."
Ying Chen pondered to himself.
"System, retrieve the reward for completing the task!"
Ying Chen then spoke in his mind.
"Ding! Extraction successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a top-grade spiritual vein, a general summoning card, and an army summoning card!"
The system's voice then sounded.
"really not bad!"
Ying Chen said with a smug look on his face.
This trip has been incredibly rewarding!
Not only did I obtain a dragon cub and complete a side quest, but I also inadvertently completed a hidden quest, earning numerous rewards. In short, it was a truly bountiful harvest...
"walk home!"
Ying Chen waved his hand, intending to return.
But just as he was about to turn around, Little Gold on his shoulder suddenly flew off.
Standing before the enormous skeleton, a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes...
Seeing this scene, Ying Chen roughly understood the reason. The owner of this huge skeleton should be Xiao Jin's mother, but he didn't know why she had perished here...
A moment later, Little Gold opened its small mouth, and a suction force pulled the eggshell from the center of the skeleton into its mouth, swallowing it whole...
Then, it exhaled a stream of golden dragon flame, enveloping the golden skeleton...
The golden dragon flames were incredibly powerful; even from a distance, Ying Chen could feel their intense heat...
After an unknown amount of time, the enormous skeleton gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Little Gold flew back to Ying Chen's shoulder, but it looked very sad...
Ying Chen reached out and patted its head, comforting it.
Xiao Jin affectionately rubbed his hand to indicate that she was alright.
After dealing with these matters, Ying Chen and the others returned to the entrance of the valley...
"Zilong, I have now gained initial control of Liangzhou. You may take the White Horse Cavalry and set up camp outside Shuoyang City..."
After coming out, Ying Chen said to Zhao Yun.
"Yes, Your Majesty! This subordinate will immediately return to prepare to break camp and head to the outskirts of Shuoyang City..."
Zhao Yun said excitedly.
Afterwards, they returned to the military camp to prepare for breaking camp, while Ying Chen, along with Guo Jia and the Imperial Guards, went back first...
...............
The capital of the Qin Dynasty.
The Second Prince's Mansion.
It was still the same secret room.
The man in black robes knelt below as usual, while Ying Luo sat in the main seat.
What's the current situation in Liangzhou?
Ying Luo spoke calmly.
"Since the last assassination attempt, the Prince of Liang has seized the opportunity to take control of the entire Liangzhou region. Now, everyone in Liangzhou obeys the Prince of Liang..."
The man in black robes replied respectfully.
"Hmph! He's really gotten himself into trouble!"
Ying Luo's face was gloomy, and his dissatisfaction was almost written all over his face.
"What about the Dark Pavilion? Have they sent out any assassins?"
After a moment, Ying Luo continued.
"The assassins sent by the Dark Pavilion all disappeared after entering Liangzhou. The Dark Pavilion suspects there are Nascent Soul experts in Liangzhou and is demanding we increase our stakes, otherwise they will abandon the mission..."
"waste!"
Bang~~
Ying Luo stood up angrily and smashed the priceless teacup in his hand onto the ground...
"A mere Ying Chen has caused the Dark Pavilion to suffer heavy losses one after another. I, the prince, believe they are nothing but empty names!"
Ying Luo said in a deep voice.
The man in black robes below changed his expression upon hearing Ying Luo's words and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, be careful what you say!"
Ying Luo was unaware of the Dark Pavilion's terrifying power, but he was well aware of it. The Dark Pavilion was spread across several dynasties, and there were even rumors that they existed within the Imperial Dynasty. It was suspected that there were Void Refinement Realm experts within the Pavilion. Once, someone issued a bounty for the assassination of the emperor of a dynasty, and the Dark Pavilion directly dispatched more than ten Nascent Soul Realm experts to blast the imperial capital of that dynasty into dust. It was precisely because of this battle that the Dark Pavilion became famous...
They became an entity that no one in this region dared to provoke...
Ying Luo realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth...
After a moment, he continued, "Since they want to raise the stakes, then raise them. What this prince has no shortage of is resources..."
The Second Prince's maternal family was the Qi family, one of the three great families of the Qin Dynasty. The family was powerful and supported the Second Prince greatly, sending countless resources to his residence every year. This made the Second Prince the wealthiest among all the princes of the Qin Dynasty...
"Here!"
The man in black robes said respectfully.
"what!"
Just then, a scream rang out.
"What happened outside?"
Ying Luo frowned and said unhappily.
"Your Highness, a group of men in black have arrived outside the Prince's residence. They're killing anyone they see and have already stormed inside..."
A guard from the Second Prince's residence rushed in, looking panicked.
"Useless trash! Who dares to act so arrogantly in my presence? What use are you to me, the prince?"
Ying Luo roared angrily.
The guard's head was almost touching the ground, trembling, and he dared not utter a word.
"Ying Ren, go and see what's going on. Whoever it is, I, the prince, will make them suffer a terrible death!"
Ying Luo looked down at the man in black robes and spoke.
The man in black nodded and turned to walk outside.
