Yu Yunxi looked worried and said, "Qi Kong is at the daoist realm. Although he can't participate in the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb training, he will definitely seek out those loyal to the East Town Grand Marshal's Residence."
Tan Yun frowned slightly, "So you're worried he might cause trouble?"
"Yes." Yu Yunxi nodded, her expression serious. "He's very ambitious and has been eyeing the resources of the Grand Marshal's Residence. If he forms alliances, it could lead to complications for us."
Tan Yun contemplated for a moment and replied, "We should strengthen our defenses and keep an eye on his movements. We can’t let him disrupt our plans."
Yu Yunxi agreed, "I will notify the others and increase the patrols around the residence."
"Good idea," Tan Yun said. "We need to be prepared for any unexpected situations."
As they discussed their plans, the moonlight poured into the room, casting a serene glow on their determined faces. The challenges ahead were daunting, but together, they felt ready to face whatever came their way.
Tan Yun smiled slightly, "Only those at the ancestral saint level can harm me. Don't worry, it will be fine."
"Mm." Yu Yunxi nodded gently, "It's getting late. Let's rest early. Tomorrow morning, we need to gather at the Xuanwu Divine Tower to head to the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb."
"Okay." After Tan Yun responded, Yu Yunxi turned to leave, but Tan Yun's voice called out, "Yunxi."
Under the moonlight, the exceptionally beautiful Yu Yunxi suddenly turned back, "What is it?"
"There’s something I don't want to hide from you," Tan Yun said. "Fang Zixi doesn't want to marry your father emperor at all."
"She is hanging by a thread and urgently needs the Pure Yang Divine Herb from the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb to save her life. That’s why she proposed conditions for your father emperor to provide Divine Medicine, leading to their engagement."
Upon hearing this, a trace of disgust appeared in Yu Yunxi's eyes, "If it weren’t for the revenge I owe my mother, I would have severed ties with him long ago."
Tan Yun's eyes revealed a deep murderous intent, "Yunxi, I want us to search for treasures together in the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb after we enter, without anyone else. If we encounter the third princess or the fifth prince, I want to kill them!"
"Good!" The cold gleam in Yu Yunxi's beautiful eyes was unmistakable, "They often humiliated and tormented me when I was young. I've dreamed of killing them!"
At the same time, in the East Town Grand Marshal's Residence, Council Hall.
There were three thousand family talents from various cities standing orderly before Qi Kong.
These talents were all loyal to the East Town Grand Marshal.
Qi Kong's eyes glinted with killing intent, his handsome features contorted fiercely as he said in a stern voice, "I'll say it again, listen carefully!"
"No matter what methods you use, you must kill Xiao Zhang!"
"Whoever can kill Xiao Zhang will be heavily rewarded by this Eldest Young Master. Did you hear that clearly?"
The three thousand young talents replied in unison, "Heard clearly! Rest assured, Eldest Young Master, we will definitely kill Xiao Zhang!"
At the same time, in the Third Princess's Residence.
In a hall decorated for a daughter, Yu Yunyi and Yu Shan were conversing.
"Fifth imperial brother, is everything arranged?" Yu Yunyi hinted.
"Everything is arranged," Yu Shan replied. "I’ve instructed that once the training in the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb begins, we will capture Xiao Zhang and Yu Yunxi alive, and then we will kill them ourselves!"
"Mm." Yu Yunyi’s gaze was vicious as she said, "Mother said that as long as Yu Yunxi is alive, she will definitely seek revenge for her mother, and she will eventually become a calamity for us. Let’s take this opportunity to kill Yu Yunxi."
"Mother also said that the crown prince must not participate in this matter. If it is exposed, it will affect his future ascension."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shan smirked coldly, expressing dissatisfaction, "We are both mother’s children, yet there's such a big gap between us. Is it just because elder brother is the crown prince?"
