I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1327 - Chapter 1327 Chapter 1327 Military Exercise

Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327: Military Exercise Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327: Military Exercise Quickly, Blackie and the others expressed they had taken on the assignment from the Ninth Prince.

However, this time Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng did not go.

According to Mu Fusheng, their trip to the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty this time was very likely targeted at him. Their presence at the Mixed Spirit Academy served first and foremost as a safety measure.

After all, the other party was aware that they were mentors and brothers, and having someone remain within Mixed Spirit Academy meant that should Mu Fusheng and his party encounter any trouble, they could promptly receive support through the academy. It also served as a deterrence.

Secondly, it was a critical juncture in the training of Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng.

Ye Qiubai’s Sword Dao realm showed signs of loosening, while Shi Sheng sensed the possible existence of a core of the star on Star Stone Mountain.

A breakthrough or finding the core of the star would significantly enhance both of their strengths.

Therefore, those who went to the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty this time were Blackie, Mu Fusheng, and Fang Qiong.

By the time the three arrived at Jiulong City, the Ninth Prince’s people had already been waiting at the city gate to greet them.

It was a very ordinary-looking old man who would not attract any attention if placed on a busy street.

Yet, precisely because of this, both Mu Fusheng and Blackie, who were keenly aware of danger, felt an extremely perilous aura emanating from the old man.

“The Crown Prince has been waiting at the Azure Dragon Courtyard for a long time. Please follow this old servant,” he said.

Mu Fusheng and the others exchanged a glance.

It seemed that the Ninth Prince… oh no, the Crown Prince, did not lack for people by his side. The betrayal of that Ancestral Realm powerhouse had quickly been replaced.

Or perhaps this person had always been in the shadows, only now forced into the light.

And this person’s strength is likely to be as strong, if not stronger, than the previous one…

The trio followed the old man to the Azure Dragon Courtyard.

Within the courtyard, the Crown Prince had already prepared tea and stood up smiling as they arrived, saying, “After wishing upon stars and the moon, you’re finally here.”

Mu Fusheng and his companions moved forward, smiling. “Your Highness has already become the Crown Prince, yet you still reside here?”

Typically, after one is conferred the title of Crown Prince, they would move into a residence specifically for the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince, however, smiled and replied, “I’ve grown accustomed to living here; I’m someone who values nostalgia.”

Nostalgia applied not only to houses and other possessions but also to people.

Mu Fusheng was well aware of the intricate workings of the royal family, and responded with an untraceable smile, “Then when the time comes to advance further, you can’t stay here just because of nostalgia.”

To advance further would mean becoming the ruler of the Divine Dynasty.

The Crown Prince laughed out loud, “I’ll take your auspicious words.”

“But what about Brother Ye and Brother Shi? Why didn’t they come this time?” The Crown Prince pretended to just realize, intentionally glancing behind the three men.

Mu Fusheng answered, “They are at a critical period in their cultivation and have stayed at the academy.”

“It seems you still don’t fully trust me,” the Crown Prince said with a laugh, gesturing as he presented the three cups of brewed tea. “But rest assured, my hope is for you to stand on my side.”

Mu Fusheng nodded, “What role do you wish us to play in this assignment?”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince took out an invitation card and handed it to Mu Fusheng, who together with Blackie and Fang Qiong, started to examine it.

It was inscribed with the words “Military Drills Display.”

The Crown Prince began to explain, “Now that I’ve ascended to the position of Crown Prince, I must have some say in both the economy and the military affairs of the Divine Dynasty.”

“Military affairs have always been under the control of the Crown Prince, and while I do have a division of the military that responds to my orders, it’s not substantial. Moreover, I don’t hold much sway within the grand army.”

“The upcoming Military Drills Display is a time for all the major forces of the Divine Dynasty to showcase their strength. I hope you will join my division and represent us in the competition.”

“If we can secure a good ranking in the display, I’ll have some leverage within the military.”

The military system is the place where strength is most revered; if you don’t have the foundational strength, even the Crown Prince won’t fully obey you.

Without waiting for Mu Fusheng and the others to speak, the Crown Prince smiled and said, “Of course, the compensation this time won’t be any less than last time.”

Mu Fusheng put away the invitation and asked, “Then why would the Crown Prince seek us out? There should still be many people stronger than us in the Mixed Spirit Academy.”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince gave a bitter smile, “After the last incident, I also dare not lightly trust people I’m not familiar with. Moreover, within the Divine Dynasty, I’m beset on all sides. There are quite a few who covet my position.”

This statement did not seem to have any problems.

However, Mu Fusheng also couldn’t possibly believe that this was the whole truth.

As the Crown Prince, even if there are very few people he could trust, finding strong individuals would still be quite easy.

Especially in this profit-driven Chaos Realm.

If you can’t find people, then it can only mean that your money isn’t quite there yet.

He glanced at the compensation.

A hundred thousand Flawless Primordial Stones, plus an Ancestral Realm medicinal pill, the Heaven Burning Pill.

With such a frightening reward, even inviting an Ancestral Realm powerhouse would be extremely easy.

The Crown Prince continued, “Moreover, the military exercise I need you to participate in is of the Divine God Realm level, but other people will attend for the Ancestral and Divine Master Realms.”

“So I’ll ask you one more time, do you accept this task?”

Mu Fusheng and the others exchanged glances.

They had already come all this way.

The Heaven Burning Pill could also be used to temper Blackie’s body.

So they nodded and agreed.

“There are seven days until the military exercise. You can stroll around Jiulong City during these days, and your accommodations have also been arranged,” the Crown Prince said with a smile, taking out a token. “Carry this token with you, and basically no one in Jiulong City will dare to trouble you. I have some matters to attend to at the palace, so please feel free to do as you wish.”

This was clearly a dismissal.

After receiving the token, Mu Fusheng and his companions left.

Once the three of them had departed, the old servant suddenly appeared behind the Crown Prince and said indifferently, “Should I follow them, Your Highness?”

The Crown Prince, however, shook his head with a smile, “No need, Chu Lao. Not to mention they have no reason to stand against me, if that person still wishes to remain hidden, they won’t stand on the opposing side either.”

“Standing with me, they have much more to gain.”

Chu Lao nodded, then disappeared into the darkness as if he had never been there…

Upon arriving at their lodging,

Fang Qiong asked, “What shall we do these few days?”

Blackie shrugged his shoulders, “Cultivate, of course.”

But Mu Fusheng said, “You guys cultivate. I’m going out to gather some intelligence.”

Every time they arrived at a new place, or had a new goal in mind,

Mu Fusheng always had the habit of first investigating and understanding the situation of the place.

Having said that, he donned a cloak that hid his presence, applied talismans that concealed his aura, hung a jade pendant that masked his presence, and quietly left the courtyard…
