Chapter 777: Chapter 576: Testing Wang Yang

Hundred Yuan Pavilion, a private room.

At that moment, facing Wang Yang and Chen Lin was that familiar man in a black robe. Their transaction had just concluded. Just as Wang Yang stood up to leave, the man in the black robe hurriedly spoke up.

"Young master, please wait!"

"Is there something else?"

"Young master, you are valorous, having slain the mid-phase Earth Immortal Mysterious Ice Dragon Bear. My young lady would like to invite you to the mansion for a meeting!"

The man in the black robe spoke respectfully, then took out an exquisite invitation and handed it to Wang Yang.

After Wang Yang received it, he opened it directly, read the content, nodded slowly, and smilingly replied.

"Please tell the Commandery Princess!"

"I will be punctual for the meeting!"

"Thank you, young master. I bid you farewell!"

After receiving Wang Yang’s response, the man in the black robe bowed with folded hands and left.

How could Wang Yang possibly refuse an invitation from the Royal Palace?

It just so happened that Wang Yang had wanted to visit the Royal Palace anyway, though he hadn’t prepared for the plan he’d discussed earlier with Su Yue, due to recent events.

Now, it seemed that many troubles had been saved.

"Chen Lin, you return to the Luo Yu Organization first and ponder the sword technique. I shall attend the meeting at the Royal Palace tonight."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Shouyang Royal Mansion, Princess’s Mansion!

At this moment, Commandery Princess Wang Ru was sitting inside a secret chamber, with a white-haired elder by her side, his expression grave, manipulating the Nine-leaf Ice Lotus that floated in the void above Wang Ru’s head.

"Princess, steady your spirit, do not let your inner demons interfere anymore!"

With a deep shout from the white-haired elder, his hands suddenly formed a seal, and the Nine-leaf Ice Lotus instantaneously disbanded into nine petals that fused into Wang Ru’s body.

As the Ice Lotus entered her body, a terrifying chill burst forth, instantly pervading her limbs and freezing the restless Spiritual Power within her.

Wang Ru also began forming seals with her hands, chanting Heart Sutra Spells, and cooperated with the white-haired elder to merge and refine the power of the Ice Lotus!

Seeing Wang Ru’s fierce and painful expression, the white-haired elder couldn’t help but feel distressed, not understanding why she had to endure such pain to suppress and freeze the Demonic Qi within her body!

Ever since the Demon Monarch visited a few days ago, not only had Wang Ru hidden her Demon Dragon Tattoo, but she had also suppressed the Demonic Qi within her body.

However, being of the Demon Clan’s direct bloodline, sealing the power of Demon Blood required the help of extremely cold items to be accomplished.

Thus, the bounty for the Nine-leaf Ice Lotus was issued.

Originally, either the white-haired elder or the Demon Monarch Chong Ming could have acted without these troubles, but Wang Ru had ordered the Demon Clan to temporarily step back and not reveal themselves.

"Puh!"

Wang Ru spat out a mouthful of black blood, her eyes regaining a bit of clarity. Although the Demon Clan could absorb Spiritual Power from bloodlines for their own use, they were extremely prone to indulgence and developing bloodlust, which bred inner demons.

Once an inner demon takes hold, it can create a celestial Moat, affecting Breakthroughs!

Being a Saintess of the Demon Clan, Wang Ru naturally had extraordinary conditions for cultivation, but she was still young and lacked experience, making inner demons likely to arise.

The world only knew that the Guardian Sun King Wang Siyun had two sons and a daughter, yet they did not know that his daughter had died young, and the current princess residing in the Royal Palace was actually the Saintess of the Demon Clan.

The Bloodline Power of the Royal Family had long been absorbed and refined by the Saintess of the Demon Clan, including memories.

"Uncle Yu, is there any news of that young man?"

"Responding to the young lady’s words, that young man was wearing the mask of the Snow Wolf Tribe. In these Northern Territories, besides me and the Demon Monarch, no one else should be able to see through his disguise!"

The white-haired elder, known as Uncle Yu to the Saintess, was Chong Yu, one of the ten great elders of the Demon Clan, a celestial Immortal!

He was the Protector of the Saintess when she descended to this world!

Publicly there’s the Demon Monarch, secretly there’s the celestial Immortal Chong Yu, never far from her side!

"This young man could actually see through the identity of my clansman. He must be able to sense the existence of Demonic Qi. Thus, I must seal the Demon Blood, using the Bloodline Power of the Human Race Royal Family to survive in the world. Before the time is right, I absolutely cannot reveal myself, or it would ruin everything!"

"Miss, your considerations are meticulous indeed. Although this Square World is scarce in Spiritual Power, there surely are hidden and reclusive experts within the Royal Family and Kunlun Mountains. As the time for our Saint’s ascendancy approaches, it’s most prudent to proceed with utmost caution in all matters!"

Chong Yu nodded and echoed. Although as an elder of the Demon clan, he had the capital to be proud, even deeming the celestial Immortals of this world insignificant.

But there is a bigger fish to fry, a higher sky beyond the heavens. This world might be governed by the Royal Family, but it was rampant with Demons and Ghosts, Cultivator Sects, and aristocratic families were numerous, and the history was ancient, spanning thousands of years, including some unrevealed Saints!

In the absence of complete details, naturally, caution was warranted.

"Hmm! Uncle Yu, you should also avoid showing yourself recently. Both Dali Temple and the Shadow Tiger Division have already infiltrated Ice Cold City. Let’s use the past Yang Family to set up a good game for them!"

"Yes! I shall follow the young lady’s arrangements!"

Wang Ru nodded, steadied her breath, and then stood up from the secret chamber. There was less than an Hour before the time she had arranged to meet Wang Yang. She needed to make meticulous preparations.

The mid-phase Earth Immortal Mysterious Ice Dragon Bear had caught Wang Ru’s eye, and the reason for the elaborate setup was not that the Demon Monarch and Chong Yu were inconvenient to act, but rather Wang Ru had deliberately spread the news to offer a bounty.

Now that the Demon Clan’s masters could not take frequent action, it was necessary to recruit some powerful cultivators of the Human Race under her command.

Wang Yang was Wang Ru’s target!

The sun set, and Wang Yang arrived at the Royal Palace’s main gate at the arranged time, only to be stopped by two Mansion Soldiers.

Wang Yang naturally knew of the strict security at the Royal Palace. Without waiting for the two men to speak, he produced the invitation directly.

After the two Mansion Soldiers inspected it, they quickly bowed to Wang Yang and said respectfully.

"We did not know the young master is a guest of the Princess, forgive our offense. Please, young master, come inside."
