In the next three days, Chen Yuan went to Luoxia Palace and told Princess Qianrou that he had been completely cured and he would not have to come here anymore.

Princess Qianrou seemed reluctant to leave. If the Prime Minister did not come to Luoxia Palace, no one would tell her stories.

After learning the news, the empress was also very happy. Now, she had no worries at all.

She had not taken action against Chen Yuan before because she hoped to use Chen Yuan to heal her sister. Now that Chen Yuan's mission has been completed, it is time to let him disappear.

At night, a sneaky figure came to the vicinity of Yuluo Bridge quietly, and then walked straight to the third bridge pillar, releasing spiritual power on the second brick and stone to destroy it.

The black shadow was overjoyed. After destroying this brick and stone, there was actually a space of about a few inches hidden inside, and a delicate box was placed inside.

The black shadow breathed a little quickly. What could it be? This secret, I didn't even tell her when I met the empress, because I wanted to take it for myself.

He couldn't wait to open the box, and there was only a note inside.

"Is it some important information?"

He quickly opened the note, and there were only six thick characters on it.

He who commits evil will suffer.

"What's going on?!"

Before the black shadow could react, the ink of these big characters instantly turned into black smoke and smoked his eyes.

"My eyes!"

The black shadow sensed something was wrong and realized that he might have been tricked. When he was about to leave, bonfires suddenly lit up all around.

Chen Jian and Chen Dao held torches to clear the way, and then Chen Yuan stepped forward step by step with a cane.

Under the light of the fire, it was also completely clear who the black shadow was.

"Hey, Sixth Elder, can't you sleep? Come here to blow the cold wind at night."

Chen Yuan's voice sounded indifferently.

The Sixth Elder felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, but he still tried to make a final excuse.

"I... I'm just strolling around..."

"Do I need to wear a breath-holding ring just to stroll around? Who needs to hide themselves just to stroll around?"

"I'm afraid you're not just strolling around, but you want to see Ji Yaochi?"

"Master, you can't say that!" The Sixth Elder Shen Ren was a little flustered, "How could I go to see the Empress at such a sensitive time?"

"There are a total of ten elders in the Shen family, nine elders and one law enforcement elder. These people are all the backbone of my Shen family. I really can't imagine that among these people, there would be a traitor who betrayed our Shen family. It really makes this master sad."

The Sixth Elder has begun to circulate his spiritual power. "Master, what are you talking about? What betrayal? You can't just talk nonsense."

"Don't resist." Chen Yuan raised his eyes slightly, "We are all members of the Shen family. Considering the clan sentiment, I will leave you a whole body."

"How unreasonable!"

The Sixth Elder suddenly attacked, grabbing Chen Yuan with one hand, and the palm power drew a sharp arc in the air, with a sound of breaking wind, like a vicious eagle swooping down, approaching directly.

Chen Yuan was unmoved. Just when the Sixth Elder approached Chen Yuan within about six feet, Shen Jian and Shen Dao attacked at the same time, offering a killing move to block him.

Of course, neither of them was an opponent of the elder's level, so the two of them seemed a little bit struggling to join forces.

At this time, Chen Yuan moved, grinning, slowly raised his hand, extended his index finger, and pointed at the Sixth Elder's knee.

The pure spiritual power flew out from Chen Yuan's fingertips like a crossbow arrow, directly piercing the Sixth Elder's knee!

"Ah——!"

The Sixth Elder groaned, and then, the heavy sword and the heavy knife seized the opportunity and exerted force at the same time, and the power instantly surpassed and suppressed him fiercely.

With a roar, the violent energy hit the body of the Sixth Elder.

"To be alive."

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, the heavy sword and the heavy knife restrained their killing moves.

Thump thump thump...

Chen Yuan pressed forward with his cane, and when he arrived in front of the Sixth Elder, he mercilessly stabbed the cane deeply into the Sixth Elder's scapula.

"Ugh - ah -"

The shrill and painful screams echoed in the night, but Chen Yuan did not stop, and continued to stab the Sixth Elder's several acupuncture points and meridians with the tip of the cane.

Now, the Sixth Elder's cultivation can be considered completely useless.

Shaking off the blood stains on the tip of the cane, Chen Yuan turned indifferently, "Take him away."

At the same time. Imperial City.

The empress frowned, why didn't Chen Ren respond until now?

Didn't they say that they would discuss how to deal with Chen Yuan today?

Not long after, Gu Li and Lin Yiping appeared behind the empress.

"Your Majesty, we have arranged everything you ordered."

"Got it, you summon Wei Qi to see me."

"Yes."

After the two left, Wei Qi arrived soon.

"I don't know why your majesty summoned me so late."

The empress turned her back to him: "I heard that you and Chen Yuan seemed to have some conflicts at the previous Hundred Sects Conference."

"You are all my subjects, so I plan to invite you two to Jiahe Palace for dinner, and I hope you two can turn hostility into friendship. You are all my capable ministers in governing the country, and I really don't want you to be enemies..."

Wei Qi said respectfully: "May I ask your majesty, when is it set?"

"Then let's have the fifteenth, the fifteenth is a good day."

"Your Majesty obeys your order."

The empress nodded: "I will also send someone to notify the prime minister tomorrow."

"Understood, then I will take my leave."

Wei Qi forced himself to hold back the smile in his heart and hurriedly took his leave.

Her majesty, after all, couldn't wait. Chen Yuan's existence was too threatening to the imperial power, so after she broke the saint, she immediately wanted to set up a Hongmen Banquet for Chen Yuan.

The date is set on the fifteenth? Not bad, just suitable for Chen Yuan's death sacrifice.

The next day, the Shen family.

Several elders of the Shen family were called together again. In the center of the meeting room, the Sixth Elder had been tortured to the point of being bloody and dying.

Yesterday, after bringing the Sixth Elder back, Chen Yuan read his soul. If the Sixth Elder's cultivation was still alive, he would naturally be able to resist a little, but his cultivation was blown away by Chen Yuan. Facing Chen Yuan's Thousand Illusionary Spiritual Eyes, he had no means of counterattack at all.

Therefore, Chen Yuan did not use any other means at all. Now everything Chen Yuan wanted to know has been obtained.

In this case, the Sixth Elder has no value.

"Master, what are you doing..."

"Silence!"

Chen Yuan knocked the ground heavily with his cane, and then said: "Sixth Elder Shen Ren, you are an elder, but you colluded with foreign enemies and leaked the secrets of our Shen family. This is a crime of treason, and you should be torn into pieces!"

"Could you be mistaken?"

"Yes... Master, over the years, the Sixth Elder has been working diligently and it is impossible for him to betray the Shen family!"

"Hehehe..." Chen Yuan sneered, "Impossible? Then let me explain my plan."

After that, Chen Yuan revealed all his plans, including that it was impossible to plant a spy next to the empress, deliberately let Youruo leak information, and deliberately seriously injure Youruo to hide it from everyone.

Until the last step, only the real empress's spy would go to Yuluo Bridge to look for the so-called "that thing".

After hearing all this, everyone just woke up from a dream.

Master, have you already calculated this step?

"... So, to sum up, the guy who has been betraying the Shen family and secretly tipping off Ji Yaochi is you, Shen Ren!"
