Chapter 255: Keeping Silence is also Betrayal (Today's Third Update)

The living room darkened in an instant.

The princess took advantage of the darkness and flew out from her seat. Her figure flashed and her purple clothes fluttered in the wind.

The long sword in her hand swung like moonlight, cutting through the air and making a crisp sword sound.

The tip of the sword trembled, like the cry of a crow in the night, sad and beautiful.

The moon sets and the crow crows.

It's time to kill.

The sword light was like the embroidery needle of the god of death, and it was about to hit the center of Chu Wujiang's eyebrows at an incredible speed.

But he was like a Buddha statue, motionless.

Unmoved by the eight winds, sitting alone on the purple lotus.

The sword flashed like a meteor. If she pushed it an inch more, she would be able to hit the fatal point.

Chu Wujiang stared straight at the sword, his eyes as calm as water.

He has extraordinary bravery and can face life and death without changing his expression.

The Qiankun Gourd emitted a faint golden light at this time, restoring some light to the darkness.

Seeing that she could not threaten Chu Wujiang, the princess could only forcibly retract her sword. The sword stopped in mid-air, unable to advance or retreat.

Originally, the queen planned to take this opportunity to vent her anger and test the truth of what Chu Wujiang said, but she didn't expect that he would remain unmoved.

Finally, she yelled:
"Longcheng Hou, aren't you afraid of death?"

"If you slander the palace like this, it would be in vain if I kill you!"

"Don't think that I dare not kill you."

"Based on what you just said..."

Before the princess consort finished scolding him, Chu Wujiang reached out and grasped the long sword, saying softly:
"My lady, please don't point your sword at me."

"this is not good."

Chu Wujiang said as he flicked the sword away.

boom!
There was a loud bang in the air.

Chu Wujiang possesses the soul power of two ghost kings, and the power of his heroic nature should not be underestimated even if he is at the peak of the Yuan Ling realm.

What's more, the princess is not at the peak yet, she is only at the second level of Yuanling Realm, Hualing.

The princess felt the enormous power coming from the sword and could not help but take two steps back. Then she stopped the sword and was shocked.

It is incredible that a warrior at the seventh level of Yuandan can be comparable to a warrior at the Yuanling realm in terms of strength.

Chu Wujiang saw this and said with a smile:
"My lady, this is much better."

The princess was a little embarrassed and snorted coldly:
"Marquis Longcheng, the secrets you have are no less than those in the royal palace."

"Don't forget, you are the odd one out!"

"Even if you surrender to the Duke of Zhenguo, even if you report the palace, the palace will not be afraid of you."

If you want to hurt each other, the palace also has the means to send you to death.

If we learn each other's secrets, a new balance should be formed.

Facing the threat, Chu Wujiang just sighed:
"Your Majesty, I misunderstood."

"Although I am following the orders of the Duke of Zhenguo to investigate the Donghai Palace, I do not want to embarrass Her Majesty."

"Just a reminder, Madam."

"The palace is about to be destroyed, please take care of yourself."

The Princess of the East Sea frowned slightly, a ripple appeared in her beautiful eyes, her slender hands tightly grasped the sword, and a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind.

[The Marquis of Longcheng knows everything about dragon veins.]

[Is it possible that the Silver Moon Sect’s hundreds of years of foundation will be destroyed in my hands? ]

[No, absolutely not! ]

The princess quickly regained her composure and said in a cold voice:
"Marquis Longcheng, don't threaten me!"

"The royal family has guarded Longzhou for generations, and has made great contributions. How could the court misjudge kindness?"

Chu Wujiang was delighted.

I'm not afraid of your intelligence, I'm afraid of your stubbornness.

If the princess is wholeheartedly following the King of East China Sea, Chu Wujiang's bluffing will be useless.

Now that the princess is beginning to hesitate, there is a way!
If Chu Wujiang hadn't seen that the other party was still a virgin, he wouldn't have dared to make such a big bet.

The two sides have deep interests in cooperation, but not necessarily any feelings.

Given the King of the East Sea's behavior of even harming his own son, no one would really talk about love with him.

Chu Wujiang immediately said loudly:

"Your Highness knows clearly whether the Donghai Palace is kind or not."

"Yun Shang has a soul-swallowing charming body, but was arranged to be next to the emperor's son. As soon as the queen saw the dragon energy of this marquis, she gave it to me."

"As for the small dragon vein in the palace, how did it come about? Do you need me to explain it clearly?"

"The building is about to collapse, please don't make mistakes, my lady."

The more the princess listened, the more frightened she became. The information Chu Wujiang had was simply unbelievable.

The more information a person has, the more credible what he says.

But the Princess of the East Sea did not give in so easily. She cheered herself up and rebuked:

"Alarmist!"

"You said the Duke of Zhenguo asked you to investigate, so why don't you show us the evidence?"

"Otherwise, I will punish you right now for the serious crime of slandering the royal family!" Chu Wujiang chuckled, and the gourd on his waist emitted a golden light, illuminating the entire room, making the guards outside suddenly nervous.

The pure yang energy of the Qiankun Gourd permeates the entire room, dispelling all evil spirits.

Princess Donghai finally changed color and couldn't help but shouted:
"A treasure of pure yang, no, a divine weapon!"

Chu Wujiang chuckled and nodded:
"This is the Tiandao Sect's magical weapon, the Qiankun Gourd."

"Your Highness must be very clear about the relationship between the Tiandao Sect and His Excellency the Duke."

"Does this count as evidence?"

"If that's not enough..."

Before Chu Wujiang finished speaking, the princess interrupted him and said:
"enough."

"Lord Longcheng, what exactly do you want to do?"

"If the court really had evidence, if it really had solid facts, it would have sent people to investigate long ago. Why would it need you to intimidate us like this?"

Even with the magic weapon in hand, Yuanshen Zhenren might not be able to kill Chu Wujiang in a short time, not to mention that there are five guards outside the door.

The situation is hopeless, we can’t take any more action.

The princess's mentality finally showed flaws.

Chu Wujiang took the opportunity to seize this opportunity and said:

"I promised your Majesty that I would spare her if I had the chance in the future."

"As long as the queen is willing to mend her ways."

"The Silver Moon Sect can even make amends for their crimes."

Chu Wujiang spoke eloquently, as if the Duke of Zhenguo was standing behind him.

Even though the King of the East Sea was a powerful spirit, he had no confidence in going against the Imperial Observatory and raising the banner of rebellion at this time.

All the plans of the King of the East Sea are divided into two steps.

The first step is to wait for the opportunity for the dragon vein of Longzhou to revive, so that he can break through in one fell swoop, absorb the entire dragon vein, and become a master comparable to King Qin.

The second step is that the imperial court goes to war with the King of Qin, the world is in chaos and hundreds of kings are vying for supremacy. Longzhou is in ruins and not many people are really eyeing Longzhou. He can take this opportunity to play both sides and wait until both sides are exhausted before going down the mountain to pick peaches.

Now that he has been discovered in advance, Chu Wujiang forces the princess to make a choice.

Either stand on the side of the imperial court or perish along with the palace.

The princess said coldly:

"What do you want me to do?"

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:

"Nothing to do."

"Your Majesty, just pretend that nothing happened and stay in Dragon City. It will be considered a merit."

People's psychological defenses gradually collapse.

It is extremely difficult to ask the Princess of Donghai to do something that betrays the palace now, but it is enough to ask her to remain neutral and not tell the King of Donghai.

Not telling is also a betrayal.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

The princess said in a deep voice:
"I understand."

"But the Marquis of Longcheng has always been a man who never gets up early without profit. What does he want to gain this time?"

Chu Wujiang was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that the princess suspected that he had other purposes.

After all, if the imperial court really wanted to verify the facts, why bother with the King of East China Sea? They could just send enough powerful Yuanshen masters to take down the palace.

The problem is that Chu Wujiang does not represent the court, so he needs to rely on the princess' silence to weaken the palace.

As for the intelligence he had, there was indeed no evidence.

The King of the East Sea has been around for so many years, he definitely doesn't do it for nothing. If you alert him, you won't be able to find any evidence at all.

He is a prince, not a commoner.

In the whole world, no one except Di Hao can easily take over a royal palace.

Otherwise, the hundreds of kings in the world would become more suspicious of the imperial court, and the King of Qin would try to purge the emperor's side.

Chu Wujiang quickly analyzed:

"Your Majesty does not believe in my promise."

"Then I want to know, what is the purpose of the cooperation between the Queen and the Prince?"

The princess said unhappily:

"You want to know this?"

"Of course it's for the dragon energy."

"It has been a thousand years since the Silver Moon Sect has produced a powerful Yuanshen."

"The value of dragon energy is not just a matter of talent. It is also much easier for me to break through realms than others."

"What's more, the prince is ambitious and has more potential than other forces."

"If I don't cooperate with the prince, then will I cooperate with you?"

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. Maybe there is a way to dig deeper into this corner. He whispered:

"My lady, I actually have dragon energy too."

The princess became furious and kicked him.

"go to hell."
