Chapter 372: Chapter 184: With High Martial Arts Skills, One Can Do as They Please

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan was the most powerful and wealthy prince among all the princes of Northern Zhou.

His mother, born into the once great Si family of the nine great families, was not the Empress but a Noble Consort. As such, she held a position in the palace that was second only to one, above tens of thousands.

Although Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan had previously cut ties with the Si family due to Feng Tianming’s wariness, he remained secretly connected with them.

After Feng Tianming had been severely injured and fell into a coma, this secretly maintained connection came openly and legitimately to the fore.

Therefore, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan felt confident he could afford any price.

When Qing Yu demanded a large batch of elixirs and a vast amount of wealth, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan appeared pained on the surface but actually agreed to Qing Yu’s terms very swiftly.

With the deal thus concluded, Qing Yu quietly faded into the shadows and left without making a sound.

Sitting on his throne, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s face no longer bore its previous chill. Instead, a smug smile now hung on his lips.

To those unaware, it might seem as if in the recent trade, it wasn’t him but Gong Ziyu who had been boldly demanding.

In fact, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan did not really take this so-called bold demand seriously.

Though the requested spiritual medicines and wealth were substantial, to Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan, they were merely a bit more than usual and far from crippling.

To exchange these slightly painful losses for the help of the Azure Dragon Association was absolutely a win for Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan.

"Hmph, Gong Ziyu," Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s lips curled into a sneer, "is ultimately just a desperado who kills for others, only concerned with these trivial matters. Wealth, spiritual medicines.

The utmost renowned Gong Ziyu in the worldly society only sets his sights on such possessions. How ridiculous!"

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s words were filled with irony and mockery. In his view, Gong Ziyu, who only focused on external possessions, was just like that.

"Your Highness must not underestimate these desperados."

A chilly breeze passed by, and a figure suddenly appeared beside Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan as if a ghost had materialized.

Under the light of a Long Burning Lamp, this suddenly appeared ghostly figure was pale and beardless, over forty years old, his body slightly wreathed in faint Yin Qi. From his dark blue eunuch attire, it was clear this was a eunuch.

Yet from his words to Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan, it was apparent that this eunuch was no ordinary servant. At least, ordinary eunuchs would not dare to advise Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan in such a tone.

"Your Highness, Gong Ziyu’s strength is unfathomable. He seemed to be casually standing in the hall just now, but he showed no vulnerabilities and even his breath was undetected. If one averted their eyes, one might not even sense his presence. Although he’s a desperado living on the edge, we must not underestimate him," the middle-aged eunuch advised.

"Can even Eunuch Wei not contend with him?" Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan asked, frowning.

This Eunuch Wei was a guard brought into the palace from the Si Family by his mother, Concubine Si. His Yin cold True Qi was extremely profound, making him a top master within the Divine Origin Realm.

Previously, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan was able to sit steadily in the face of the tremendous pressure from Gong Ziyu, not just because of his deep cultivation of Qi but also because he relied on Eunuch Wei’s support in the dark, ensuring his safety.

It now seemed, however, that this prior confidence had almost led him into danger.

"For others, even other renowned masters of the Divine Origin Realm, this old servant would be fully confident to protect Your Highness completely. But this Gong Ziyu..."

Eunuch Wei hesitated, then said, "According to the latest rankings on Dragon and Phoenix List, Gong Ziyu is ranked too low, at least fifth in strength."

"Fifth?!" Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan exclaimed.

He had never imagined Gong Ziyu could rank as the fifth.

The Divine Origin Realm and the Innate Realm were different. Advancing beyond this realm was to reach the True Pill Realm, comparable to the land’s immortals. The difficulty of breaking through to the True Pill Realm was said to be just a notch below impossible.

Many people practiced their Martial Arts a whole lifetime and still ended up stagnating in the Divine Origin Realm as they grew old. Even the most prestigious Great Sects couldn’t guarantee their disciples would advance to the True Pill Realm.

Thus, unlike the Innate Realm, the majority in the Divine Origin Realm rankings were indeed well-known older masters over forty years of age.

Zhang Yangping from Dragon Tiger Mountain being ranked fourth at thirty-four was already considered a prodigious talent.

Gong Ziyu was more than a decade younger than Zhang Yangping. If he had not advanced to the Divine Origin, he would still be listed on the Dragon and Phoenix List under thirty.

However, thinking back to the immense pressure he felt from Gong Ziyu just now, as if facing a giant who could crush him with a mere flick, it seemed only natural for Gong Ziyu to have such strength.

"With Gong Ziyu’s age, if nothing unexpected happens, he will surely reach the True Pill Realm of the land’s immortals, and perhaps even the Divinity Realm. Your Highness should cultivate a closer relationship with him," advised Eunuch Wei.

After the initial shock, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan regained his composure and showed a smile that reflected his cunning strategy, saying, "Rest assured, Eunuch Wei. Gong Ziyu loves spiritual medicines and wealth, I will provide him with those. I can get as much of these resources as I want. After I ascend the throne, all of Northern Zhou will be mine. Is there a possibility I couldn’t satisfy Gong Ziyu?"

"The higher Gong Ziyu’s talent and the greater his achievements, the happier I am. His nature, doomed to be like a greedy dog, can be bought just by feeding him meat. Such a greedy yet powerful person will be an immense help in my contest for the throne."

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan was filled with confidence. Despite Gong Ziyu’s strength, his background made his perspective somewhat narrow, incomparable to his own. As long as he played his cards right, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan was confident he could bring Gong Ziyu under his control.

Meanwhile, Qing Yu, having reached Feng Jiu’s sleeping chamber, was also thinking about Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan.

’Right now, Feng Chaonan must be scoffing at my perspective.’ Qing Yu thought with slight amusement.

Indeed, high martial prowess did allow one to do as they pleased, at least for Qing Yu.

How noble Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s identity or how deep his schemes might be, it meant nothing as long as he hadn’t cultivated to the Divine Origin Realm or developed spiritual power. All his thoughts were as clear as day to Qing Yu.

Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s thoughts could not be hidden from Qing Yu.

Even now, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s thoughts were partly influenced by Qing Yu.

During their conversation, the "Ten Thousand Paths" Power of Thought had subtly infiltrated Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan’s Sea of Consciousness, intentionally guiding his thoughts in the direction Qing Yu wanted.

One could say a part of what Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan currently thought was precisely what Qing Yu intended him to think.

Thus, it goes to say, high martial prowess in this world truly allowed one to do as they wished.

A dog? Hopefully, in the end, Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan still had the confidence to utter such words.
