Listening to Fang Yue's analysis, Zhu Linlang's mood became heavier.

She knew that this alliance could have a profound impact not only on the two of them, but also on the situation of the entire Wei Dynasty.

"What should we do now?" she asked with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Fang Yue took a deep breath, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "We need to stay calm now and wait for the opportunity."

He said slowly, "Once the emperor of Wei dies, all forces will inevitably take action, and the situation will become more chaotic at that time.

We must have enough patience and calm judgment to find our foothold in this storm."

Zhu Linlang was silent for a long time after listening, and finally nodded, saying softly: "I understand, we must remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

Fang Yue smiled slightly and agreed: "That's right. Moreover, we must also pay close attention to the dynamics within the alliance and the movements of other forces.

Only in this way can we better deal with possible changes."

"I will arrange people to collect intelligence from all aspects." Zhu Linlang said, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

In the next few days, Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue settled down according to the previous plan.

They divided the work and cooperated. Zhu Linlang was responsible for arranging people to go deep into all parties to collect intelligence, while Fang Yue started to analyze the intelligence and predict the possible development of the situation in the future.

At the same time, deep in the prosperous Wei Palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The emperor of Wei lay on the dragon couch, his face was like gold paper, and the fire of life seemed to be extinguished at any time.

The court officials were worried, but they were powerless and could only watch the emperor weaken day by day.

The emperor of Wei lay in the dim bedroom with his eyes slightly closed, but his thoughts were running fast.

He was unwilling to be defeated by the disease like this, and he still had many unfinished hegemonies and dreams.

At this time, a mysterious man in black knelt in front of his couch and reported the arrangement of the soul refining array in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the soul refining array has been arranged. We only need to wait for the masters from all parties to come to visit us, and then we can activate the array and catch them all in one fell swoop."

The man in black had a low voice, full of coldness.

The Emperor of Wei slightly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of cruelty.

"Well, you did a good job. This time, I will let those self-righteous guys know who is the real master."

The man in black continued to report in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is another thing to report to you.

The eldest princess seems to be making some moves in secret. She has privately contacted some important officials in the court and is secretly mobilizing people. It seems that she has some plans."

The Emperor of Wei frowned slightly. The eldest princess has always been a thorn in his heart.

He knows the ambition and wisdom of this sister very well, and he has to guard against it.

"Do you know what her specific plan is?"

The man in black shook his head, "I haven't found out the specific plan of the princess yet, but according to the signs observed by our people, she may be preparing to deal with the situation after your death.

In addition, there are rumors that she has contact with Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue, but the specific situation has not been verified."

The emperor of Wei sneered, "Humph, she is smart and knows how to plan in advance. But does she think she can compete with me like this? How naive."

He paused and continued, "Strengthen the surveillance of the princess, and report to me immediately if there is any movement.

At the same time, pay close attention to the movements of Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue. I don't want any accidents to happen at this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man in black retreated and disappeared into the dim palace.

The emperor of Wei closed his eyes again, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

He knew that this contest had just begun, and he must win.

Neither the princess nor other forces could become a stumbling block for him to achieve hegemony.

He took a deep breath, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let me see how big a wave you can make."

~~~~~~~

In another part of the palace, the eldest princess was standing in front of the window, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something. Her personal maid stood aside cautiously, not daring to disturb her.

"Eldest princess, we have contacted some court officials in private according to your instructions." A guard knelt in front of the eldest princess and reported in a low voice.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, her voice calm but revealing unquestionable majesty: "Very good, continue to observe the movements of those court officials, and report any abnormalities to me in time."

The guard responded and quickly withdrew.

At this time, the personal maid whispered: "Princess, do you really want to compete with the emperor? This... This is too dangerous."

The princess turned around, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Danger? From the moment I was born, I have been in danger.

Instead of passively waiting for the arrangement of fate, it is better to take the initiative and control your own destiny."

The maid lowered her head and dared not say anything more.

The princess murmured slightly: "Besides, I am not fighting alone."

Then, her divine light was determined, and she continued to ask: "Have you found the traces of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang?"

"Reply to the princess, we have found the traces of Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang." The guard replied, "They are currently in a hidden house in the city. They seem to be observing the situation in secret and actively collecting information from all aspects."

After hearing this, the princess' eyes flashed with a gleam of satisfaction.

These two people are really brave. After becoming enemies with her, they dared to return to Shenjing City. How brave they are!

"Very good, continue to monitor them, but don't alert the enemy." The eldest princess ordered.

"Yes, Princess." The guard replied, then stepped back to continue his surveillance mission.

The corners of the eldest princess' lips curled up slightly, revealing a sneer.

She knew that Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were both extremely smart people, but in this sacred city, they were a little too young to compete with her.

However, she was in no rush to take action. Now she has a more important thing to do, which is to obtain the royal family's artifact.

After this matter is completed, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang can naturally take care of it.

"Continue to observe their movements, and report any abnormalities to me in time." The eldest princess ordered again.

"Yes, eldest princess." The personal maid responded, and then withdrew.

The eldest princess turned back to the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, and began to plan the next action.

In the dim study room, with candlelight flickering, the eldest princess's brushstrokes moved rapidly on the paper, and her plan gradually took shape.

She knew very well that if she wanted to successfully seize the kingdom's artifact, she must plan carefully and proceed step by step.

~~~~~~

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Fang Yue was practicing intently in the backyard, completely immersed in the world of martial arts both physically and mentally.

Suddenly, a homing pigeon fluttered and landed on his shoulder, interrupting his practice.

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, then recognized that this was the carrier pigeon they used to deliver messages.

He quickly untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet and took out the note inside.

When he opened it, he saw that the contact code of the Shadow Pavilion was clearly written on it, as well as an urgent appointment location and time.

Fang Yue frowned. The people from Shadow Pavilion took the initiative to contact him. It seemed that these people had also come to Shenjing City.

Fang Yue looked at the information on the note, with many thoughts in his mind.

~~~~~

In a remote alley in Shenjing City, Fang Yue followed the instructions on the note and found a shabby teahouse.

He walked into the teahouse, glanced around, and soon found a mysterious figure wearing a black cloak waving to him.

Fang Yue walked over and sat opposite the mysterious man.

The mysterious man lifted a corner of his cloak, revealing a weathered face. It was Li Shengdong, the master of the Shadow Pavilion.

"Why did you come to Shenjing City? It seems to be much earlier than the agreed time?" Fang Yue asked straight to the point.

Li Shengdong said in a deep voice: "Brother Fang, the situation is urgent and I have to come to you in advance. We have received news that the royal family will open the secret vault in advance."

"The royal family wants to open the secret vault in advance?" Fang Yue frowned.

"All forces gathered in Shenjing, and the Wei royal family was worried that they would not be able to conquer the world, so they had no choice but to open the secret vault in advance and take out the artifact of the country!" Li Shengdong frowned.

"All forces gathered in Shenjing. The royal family of the Wei Dynasty was worried that they would not be able to conquer the world, so they could only open the secret vault in advance and take out the sacred artifacts of the country to shock all parties."

Li Shengdong's voice was low and serious, "However, not everyone can obtain the artifact of the country, and it requires special luck and opportunity.

And you, Brother Fang, possessing the Dragon Soul of Luck, may be the key to us seizing the artifact of the country. "

Fang Yue was silent for a long time after hearing this. He did not expect that the Dragon Soul of Luck in his body was actually related to the artifact of the country.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Pavilion Master Li, what do you want me to do?"

A glint flashed in Li Shengdong's eyes, and he said slowly: "I hope you can go with us on the day when the royal family opens the secret vault.

Your Luck Dragon Soul may be able to help us seize the kingdom's artifact. "

Fang Yue frowned. He knew that this matter was no small matter and if it failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, he currently does not have the slightest bit of Luck Dragon Soul power in his body.

After all, the Luck Dragon Soul has been completely refined and has become his foundation.

But even if he said this, no one would believe it, and it might expose his secret.

Therefore, he couldn't tell Li Shengdong that he no longer had the power of the Luck Dragon Soul.

Fang Yue's thoughts were racing in his mind, but his face remained calm. He said in a deep voice:

"Pavilion Master Li, the artifact that governs the country is the foundation of the Wei royal family. It must be heavily guarded. It is not easy to capture it. I am afraid that we may not be able to succeed!"

When Li Shengdong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was evaluating Fang Yue's words. He said slowly:

"Brother Fang, I understand your concerns.

But don’t worry, we at Shadow Pavilion have been preparing for this for many years and have careful plans.

Your Luck Dragon Soul may be the key to us capturing the artifact.

It doesn't require you to take action directly, it only requires you to trigger the power of the Luck Dragon Soul at the critical moment to create opportunities for us. "

Fang Yue weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that he no longer had the power of the Luck Dragon Soul, but if he refused directly, he would probably become enemies with the Shadow Pavilion, and this might also be an opportunity to learn about the royal family's secret treasury and the country's artifact.

At the same time, he also wanted to know the detailed plans of the Shadow Pavilion in order to better deal with future situations.

So, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I am willing to go with you. However, I have a few conditions."

Li Shengdong's eyes flashed with joy. He didn't expect Fang Yue to agree so quickly, and said quickly: "Please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will try our best to satisfy you."

Fang Yue said solemnly: "First, I need to know your detailed plan, including all details such as action route, personnel division of labor, etc. I don't want any accidents to occur during the operation."

"This is natural. Our plan will be shared with you in detail." Li Shengdong nodded in agreement.

"Second, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to successfully trigger the power of the Luck Dragon Soul. After all, this power is not something I can fully control." Fang Yue's tone revealed a trace of helplessness and honesty.

Hearing this, Li Shengdong smiled slightly and expressed understanding: "Brother Fang, your worries are normal.

The power of the Luck Dragon Soul is indeed mysterious and unpredictable, and we cannot force it. As long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, we at Shadow Pavilion will remember your help. "

Fang Yue nodded, feeling slightly comforted.

He continued: "Third, if the operation fails, or any accident occurs, I hope that the Shadow Pavilion can protect the safety of me and my partners."

Li Shengdong solemnly promised: "Brother Fang, don't worry. We at Shadow Pavilion have always valued credibility and loyalty.

Whether the operation is successful or not, we will do everything we can to keep you and your companions safe. "

Hearing this, Fang Yue's worries eased a little.

He took a deep breath and decided to cooperate with Shadow Pavilion: "Okay, in that case, I am willing to act with you. When will we set off?"

Li Shengdong's eyes flashed with joy. He didn't expect Fang Yue to agree so readily.

He quickly replied: "We plan to take action in three days. In these two days, I will introduce our plan and division of labor to you in detail. Do you have any other questions or need to prepare?"

Fang Yue thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, I will arrange the things at hand as soon as possible and get ready to go."

"Okay, then we'll see you in three days." Li Shengdong stood up and shook hands with Fang Yue to say goodbye.

After Fang Yue left, the kind look on Li Shengdong's face disappeared: "Huh, this guy really treats himself as a dish. When he gets something, he will kill you first!"

Li Shengdong's words revealed coldness and cruelty, and it was obvious that his use of Fang Yue was only temporary.

Once he obtains the artifact that governs the country, Fang Yue's life and death will be insignificant in his eyes.

In the secret room of the Shadow Pavilion, Li Shengdong summoned several of his capable men and began to lay out the action plan in detail.

He told Zhu Linlang the plan of Shadow Pavilion and what he said. After hearing this, Zhu Linlang frowned and said worriedly:

"Brother Yue, this matter sounds very dangerous. The people of Shadow Pavilion have always been cunning, and we cannot trust them easily."

Fang Yue nodded: "I know, but this is also an opportunity for us to learn about the royal family's secret treasury and the country's artifact. (End of Chapter)
