Chapter 1700: Chapter 1696: Speculation

Li Hongzhao sighed, "Our sect is still better, staying here is more comforting."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "There’s no Senior Sister Dong in the Secret Realm."

Dong Muyu beamed suddenly, "That’s right, staying alone is so boring, it’s more comfortable to play together."

Li Hongzhao shook her head.

She didn’t like crowds, she preferred to stay alone, thus she was reluctant to interact with her sect mates.

Being alone in the vast Secret Realm, being cautiously guarded against, that feeling was uncomfortable.

To Biyuan Heaven, Heavenly Sword Sect is indeed its roots.

After all, it ascended here, from being weak, it grew little by little.

The brothers and sisters of Heavenly Sword Sect were also familiar, relationships were more relaxed, there was no competition.

Most importantly, it wouldn’t suspect her.

Li Hongzhao said, "The Court hasn’t given up on that Divine Artifact."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Hongzhao said, "If anyone grabs it, the Court will definitely make a move."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Li Hongzhao smirked, "If you grab it, then you’ll be the Court’s opponent."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Court still thinks that Divine Artifact is there?"

"Isn’t it there?" Li Hongzhao asked.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "How to grab it then? Spirit Venerable-wise, it can’t compare to other realms, Spirit Venerable cultivation is also inferior to them, not a single advantage, can’t possibly deploy the Divine Artifact itself, right?"

Li Hongzhao said, "In my view, they won’t be able to resist eventually."

She spoke with a teasing tone, "The Court truly has the ambition to unite all heavens indeed."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Li Hongzhao said, "Do you think they have a chance of success?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Not a single possibility, too far off."

Li Hongzhao said, "What would be the consequences?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If the Divine Artifact enters the Divine Domain, it will trigger a Divine Artifact war."

"What will a Divine Artifact war lead to?" Li Hongzhao asked.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Divine Artifacts will be damaged, by then, all heavens will be in chaos."

Biyuan Heavenly Court’s Divine Artifact previously had issues, leading to such a situation.

Without his help, even with the Great Sect’s significant efforts, the Evil Sect could have invaded the city.

If the Imperial City falls, public morale will be disrupted.

The Evil Sects of other heavens will take advantage, swarming in.

The invasion of other Evil Sects won’t just break the Imperial City, it will cause chaos nationwide, further weakening public morale.

Other ambitious individuals lurking in the dark will also rise to the occasion.

Unless the Divine Artifact is quickly repaired, there will definitely be fires all around, undermining the Court’s foundation.

A Divine Artifact from one realm causing damage leads to such a result, multiple realms’ Divine Artifacts all damaged will lead to more severe outcomes.

The Evil Sect and Demon Clan will rapidly grow, causing many realms to fall into turmoil.

Li Hongzhao tilted her head at him, "Isn’t that exaggerated?"

Chu Zhiyuan snorted and said, "Divine Artifacts must not be moved lightly, once moved, it’s like playing with fire, impossible to extinguish."

Li Hongzhao said, "Human hearts are greedy, seeing the Court like this, they absolutely won’t stop."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned pensively.

"So, you don’t see such a future?"

"The Divine Artifact is obscured, can’t see clearly, what’s Senior Song’s opinion?"

"This is what I figured out through my master," Li Hongzhao said, "Master also thinks the Court won’t give up easily."

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Dong Muyu laughed, "Junior Brother, why are you thinking so much, the Court isn’t yours!"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Indeed."

Dong Muyu said, "Furthermore, no matter how strong you are, you can’t change the Court’s decision, how not to be jealous over a Divine Artifact!"

"Divine Artifact..." Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Hongzhao.

Li Hongzhao, being perceptive, immediately understood his meaning and shook her head, "I can’t even touch the Divine Artifact, too far off, I feel like they’re guarding against me."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Why guard against you? Is it feared you could damage the Divine Artifact? Or is it for another reason?"

Li Hongzhao snorted, "You’re saying... the Divine Artifact had issues? Not entirely repaired hence must be concealed, fearing I might leak it out?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Is that possible?"

Li Hongzhao paced with her hands behind her back, her beautiful face changing unpredictably.

Dong Muyu felt she couldn’t keep up with

their topic and closed her mouth helplessly.

She stayed on Heavenly Sword Peak all day, unaware of Court matters.

But she knew the affairs of the Court, gathered from Ghost Realm minds, was absolutely not something she could meddle in.

Li Hongzhao said while pacing, "The Court desperately fighting for the Divine Artifact, is it to replace the original Divine Artifact?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"...I should go and confirm with master." Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Don’t rush."

Li Hongzhao said, "No matter what master wouldn’t harm me."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Related to such matters, what the Court might do is hard to say, what about other courts? Other courts’ Divine Artifacts have no issues?"

Li Hongzhao frowned, "Must first clarify how the Divine Artifact had issues..."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Can’t be clarified."

This is a secret of secrets, aside from the four Princes, Song Chaoge might not even know.

"I’ll ask my master, master should know."

"..."

Li Hongzhao said, "Don’t worry, I still trust my master, won’t harm me."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "You’re putting Senior Song in a difficult position."

Li Hongzhao has a special secret technique to sense people’s minds, she’s certain Song Chaoge wouldn’t harm her, so there’s no mistake.

"At most, master would say nothing and pretend not to know, what’s the difficulty." Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If it’s a matter of trust, it must not be spread around, you ask like this, isn’t it knowing?... But if this is indeed the case, it will be troublesome."

No matter how troublesome." Li Hongzhao pouted, "Let them fight for it, it doesn’t concern us!"

Heavenly Sword Peak is mobile, when the time comes, it can hide away in remote places, nobody will bother us."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Dong Muyu said, "Junior Brother, I’ve been listening and listening, figured it out."

The two looked at her.

Dong Muyu said, "After all the talking, Little Junior Brother, you’re just guessing, aren’t you?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

Dong Muyu looked at Li Hongzhao, "Guessing so casually, are you going to take such risks?"

Li Hongzhao laughed, "Senior Sister Dong, his intuition is sharp, his guesses are usually correct."

If his guesses aren’t accurate, his intuition would tell him, causing him to shut his mouth.

Once said it out loud, even if a guess, it’s mostly fact.

Dong Muyu shook her head, "For such a big task, caution is best, let’s not cause a big mess, I think, it’s best to pretend not to know."

The two looked at her.

Dong Muyu said, "Don’t meddle in the Divine Artifact matter, that Senior Song let you leave the Secret Realm, likely for this reason."

"Senior Sister is sharp." Li Hongzhao laughed, "Hits the mark, further proves the Princely Heir guessed correctly."

"Even if correctly guessed, don’t meddle." Dong Muyu said, "The Court is the Court, we’re us, getting involved with the Court will never end well, we’ve suffered enough losses."

She glared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Senior Sister, getting involved with the Court, I also have my reasons."

"It’s like seeking skin with a tiger." Dong Muyu said, "Little Junior Brother, you’re clever, but compared to those people, far from enough."

"Senior Sister, you underestimated him," Li Hongzhao laughed, "In scheming, he won’t lose out."

Dong Muyu said, "That’s impossible, Junior Brother Chu is an honest person."

"Hehehehe..." Li Hongzhao laughed until she was shaking like a flower in the wind, finding the comment highly amusing.
