Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Apricot Blossom Alley, Number 33.

Zhong Yunhu, covered in dirt and grime, crawled out of the tunnel.

His clothes were tattered and torn, and even the hair at his temples was scorched by the aftershocks of the thunder, emitting a burnt smell.

“Madman!”

“A damned madman!”

“To deal with a mere Deputy Hall Master like me, he used ten Divine Martial Cannons.”

“Was it worth it? Was it worth it?”

Zhong Yunhu was utterly disheveled in the wind; the Thirteenth Prince was too exaggerated.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the Thirteenth Prince was attacking a county town.

And those bastards from that organization!

They said they had found out the Thirteenth Prince’s arrest plan and told me to use it to my advantage…

I spit on that!

Not a single word of it was true from beginning to end.

“Today’s events must be reported to the Elders so they can be wary of that group of bastards.”

Zhong Yunhu snorted coldly, a ferocious expression on his face, which, combined with his burnt hair, made him look particularly repulsive.

Zhong Yunhu didn't bother collecting the treasures he had accumulated over the years. After changing his clothes, he immediately left through the back door.

Just after leaving the back door, he stopped abruptly, a look of horror on his face.

Zhou Hao Chen?!

How could this dog of a prince be here?

The shock in Zhong Yunhu's heart was like a towering wave, as high as ten thousand仞, as if it would swallow him in the next second.

Wasn't the dog prince bombarding the Hundred Delights Hall?

Why would he appear here?

Has the tunnel been exposed?

It shouldn't be; the tunnel is intricate and complex, with thirty-six forks.

The complete map only exists in my mind; no one else knows about it.

Even if the imperial hounds could figure out the tunnel and track it to Apricot Blossom Alley, it would still take half an hour.

So that means…

It's a coincidence!

The dog prince just happened to be passing by!

That must be it!

Zhong Yunhu calmed down slightly, his horrified expression receding. He took half a step back, planning to return to the courtyard and leave after Zhou Hao Chen passed by.

Just as Zhong Yunhu was about to retreat into the courtyard, he suddenly heard Zhou Hao Chen utter a soft exclamation.

“Did you guys smell a burnt odor?”

He Lianhai and the other accompanying officials were slightly stunned at first, then echoed his words.

“Your Highness, there is indeed a strange smell…”

“Where is the smell coming from…”

“Huh? Isn't that Zhong Yunhu?”

“It really is Zhong Yunhu!”

He Lianhai looked shocked.

“Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!”

“Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!”

The sounds of congratulations came from the mouths of the court officials, rising and falling.

“Congratulations for what?”

“Hurry up and arrest the White Lotus Sect’s demon.”

With a command from Zhou Hao Chen, the experts from the Town Demon Bureau and the Ministry of Justice rushed towards Zhong Yunhu, eager to be the first to strike.

Seeing this, Zhong Yunhu stomped his feet in anger and cursed loudly.

“A dog prince is just a dog prince!”

“His nose is as sensitive as a big yellow dog!”

“How dare you insult His Highness!”

“Audacious demon, you seek death!”

The experts from the Town Demon Bureau and the Ministry of Justice all unleashed their unique skills, accompanied by curses, attacking Zhong Yunhu.

Fist winds, palm imprints, sword energy, saber light…

Rained down upon him.

Like a torrential downpour.

“Imperial hounds, die!”

Zhong Yunhu roared, his hands forming a mysterious hand seal.

Immediately after, he seemed to have taken hormones; his entire body suddenly swelled up, and the muscles on his body were as exaggerated as granite.

Even the aura on his body rose steadily.

Within a few short breaths, he went from the Sixth Realm to the Seventh Realm.

He Lianhai said softly from the side: “Your Highness, this is the White Lotus Sect’s secret technique, White Lotus Burning Body Transformation. By burning the essence and blood within the body, it can temporarily increase one’s realm and obtain power far exceeding one’s own.”

There were more than a dozen court experts besieging Zhong Yunhu, with cultivation levels between the Fourth and Sixth Realms.

After Zhong Yunhu used the secret technique, the dozen or so people were actually being suppressed and beaten by him alone.

Zhong Yunhu's body, like a muscle-bound man, charged and smashed through the encirclement.

His posture was like a bulldozer.

Seeing that the court experts' encirclement was about to be broken through by Zhong Yunhu, He Lianhai frowned slightly and volunteered.

“Your Highness, let me take action.”

Zhou Hao Chen shook his head and said calmly: “Wait a little longer!”

Zhou Hao Chen did not let He Lianhai take action to capture Zhong Yunhu.

With He Lianhai's Eleventh Realm strength, capturing a Zhong Yunhu would be a piece of cake.

However, what was the slight ripple indicated in the divination?

There must be other changes, otherwise, the divination would not have specifically pointed it out.

Before this slight ripple appeared, Zhou Hao Chen did not intend to directly use He Lianhai as his trump card.

He Lianhai's trump card was needed in case of an emergency.

At this moment, a powerful aura approached from afar.

Sensing this aura, Zhou Hao Chen smiled slightly.

His general had arrived!

“Audacious demon, eat my fist!”

A loud roar suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap on flat ground, deafening.

Yue Chongshan approached Apricot Blossom Alley at an extremely fast speed.

The speed was so fast that he even tore through the air with his physical body.

A whistling sound was heard, and Yue Chongshan suddenly descended, striking Zhong Yunhu's chest with a punch at lightning speed.

This punch was powerful and heavy, tearing through the air.

Mixed with a piercing sound of the air being torn.

Turned into an afterimage.

Feeling the fist wind coming head-on, Zhong Yunhu's expression changed drastically.

The Eighth Realm!

This is an Eighth Realm martial arts expert!

Even if he used the secret technique, he was only in the Seventh Realm.

How could a fake Seventh Realm like him be a match for Yue Chongshan, a genuine Eighth Realm expert?

Boom—

The iron fist slammed into Zhong Yunhu's chest.

With just one punch, Zhong Yunhu, who had just been fierce and unstoppable, was sent flying directly.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

He crashed heavily onto the ground.

The aura on his body also dropped directly from the Seventh Realm to even worse than the Fifth Realm.

Obviously, the backlash from the White Lotus Burning Body Transformation had begun.

Yue Chongshan stepped forward, preparing to capture Zhong Yunhu.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly flashed out of the void and stood beside Zhong Yunhu.

The sudden appearance of this figure made Yue Chongshan's face solemn, and Zhong Yunhu breathed a sigh of relief.

“You’ve finally come!”

Even though he had ten thousand complaints about the man in black, he could only rely on him in this life-or-death situation.

“Stop talking nonsense; I’ll take you away!”

The man in black placed his right hand on Zhong Yunhu's shoulder and then formed a mysterious magic seal with his left hand.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Seeing someone interfering, Yue Chongshan roared and smashed his fist down, as heavy as a thousand catties, as if he wanted to smash the earth.

In the instant before the heavy fist landed.

The man in black and Zhong Yunhu disappeared abruptly.

“The Taoist’s Earth Evasion Technique!”

Sensing this series of changes, He Lianhai sighed secretly in his heart.

His Highness is truly a brilliant strategist!

In the next second, a green thunderbolt shot out from He Lianhai's hand.

Armor Wood True Thunder!

Among the five elements, wood overcomes earth.

Armor Wood True Thunder can just restrain the Earth Evasion Technique.

Boom—

The Armor Wood True Thunder swept across the ground, striking a hundred zhang away.

Immediately afterward, everyone heard two screams erupt from the earth.

With a casual strike, he broke the man in black's Earth Evasion Technique.

The man in black and Zhong Yunhu were forced to show themselves from the earth.

Zhong Yunhu was already seriously injured, and he was also hit by the aftershocks of the Armor Wood True Thunder, directly fainting.

The man in black wasn't in a much better state either.

How easy was it to withstand the thunder magic of an Eleventh Realm thunder cultivator?

Even if it was a casual strike!

Even if He Lianhai deliberately restrained his power for fear of killing Zhong Yunhu.

It still made the man in black instantly lose his combat power, barely maintaining consciousness with his last breath.

The man in black looked up at the sky and said piously.

“Please, Lord, descend!”
