"I have entered the Hell Dynasty, and I heard it directly from the mouth of a Hell Dynasty prince!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Grand Tutor, what you said is a bit incomprehensible. How am I spouting nonsense?"
"Entered the Hell Dynasty?" The Grand Tutor chuckled, "You have quite the audacity. I heard that to enter the Hell Dynasty, one must cross the River of Darkness. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might not be able to cross it easily!"
"There is a way to cross the River of Darkness, but some people are too timid and use it as an excuse not to enter the Hell Dynasty!" Lu Fan said, "If the River of Darkness were truly that terrifying, why can the people of the Hell Dynasty easily come to the Heavenly Dynasty!"
With these words, everyone present was startled. Lu Fan's words made them feel that the River of Darkness was not as formidable as rumored, or at least it had a weakness, otherwise, the people of the Hell Dynasty would not be able to arrive at the Heavenly Dynasty so easily.
The Grand Tutor stood aside, filled with displeasure, but unsure how to refute. A surge of anger rose within him, as Lu Fan's words were clearly an insult to his face.
"Alright, alright, you are both important ministers of the Heavenly Dynasty. How can you quarrel so casually!"
The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and looked at Lu Fan, "As you say, is this matter true?"
"It is absolutely true, without a doubt!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn, "I implore the Heavenly Emperor to take precautions early. We must not be negligent in the slightest. Otherwise, when the experts of the Hell Dynasty arrive, it will surely cause endless turmoil!"
Facing these words, the Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious. If Lu Fan's words were true, they would indeed have to strengthen their defenses and not slacken at all.
"Our Heavenly Dynasty has been established for so many years, and we have never feared anyone!" the Grand Tutor said, cupping his fists. "The Heavenly Emperor need not worry too much. With the Heavenly Dynasty's strength, this matter is not insurmountable!"
"What the Grand Tutor says is naturally correct, but this matter concerns the foundation of the nation, and we cannot be careless in the slightest!"
The Heavenly Emperor stated directly, "From now on, all departments shall strictly guard and check. If any person from the Hell Dynasty is found, they shall be killed without mercy. We must not let the tiger return to its mountain!"
"We respectfully obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!" everyone cupped their fists, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
After a while, this matter finally concluded.
The Grand Tutor returned to his mansion, preparing to enjoy himself. However, at this moment, a sharp sword, carrying a letter, was thrust into the threshold of the Grand Tutor's mansion. The Grand Tutor frowned slightly at this sight, clearly surprised that someone dared to be so audacious as to act in such a manner at his mansion.
At the same time, the old Grand Tutor picked up the letter and read it carefully. A slight smile curved his lips, as if he had received some useful information that delighted him.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace's rear garden, the Heavenly Emperor stood, a faint glow in his eyes, looking at Lu Fan, "You say that among the many princes, one carries the blood of the Hell Dynasty?"
"It is absolutely true. I obtained this information from the Hell Dynasty!" Lu Fan said, cupping his fists. "If the Heavenly Emperor does not believe me, he can investigate!"
"King of the Northwest, do you know that for your words just now, I could have you killed!" the Heavenly Emperor stated directly. "You should be very aware of the relationships between the princes, and how easily they can be framed!"
"I have said so much, and it seems the Heavenly Emperor has not taken a single word to heart!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "If that's the case, then I'll just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"But you have already said it!"
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was serious, and he looked at Lu Fan, "And for the safety of the Heavenly Dynasty, you must continue. Although I am unwilling to believe it, if this matter is true, it will have a devastating impact on the entire Heavenly Dynasty!"
"Cough, cough..."
Lu Fan coughed a few times. The Heavenly Emperor's words left him speechless. First, he was told not to speak, and then he was insisted upon speaking.
"You don't need to worry too much. The reason I am like this is out of necessity!"
The Heavenly Emperor said with a wry smile, "After all, even you do not know which prince has done such a thing!"
"Which prince? The Heavenly Emperor should know better than I do!" Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, among the many princes, the Heavenly Emperor understands them the most. You are their father!"
"What King of the Northwest says is quite interesting!" the Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly. "Why do I not understand what you mean?"
"The Heavenly Emperor should have already known about Prince Bai Xi, right!" Lu Fan shrugged. "If that is the case, it means the Heavenly Emperor is well aware of the many princes!"
"You are correct. I am indeed well aware of the movements of the many princes, but I still do not know who it is that carries the blood of the Hell Dynasty," the Heavenly Emperor shook his head. "And I find that among all the kings, you are the most audacious. You dare to look at me so directly and speak without reservation!"
"Because I know the Heavenly Emperor will not make things difficult for me, nor will he be heartless towards me!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "As for the other princes, it is quite different!"
"What is different? They are all my brothers. Are they not as important as you?" the Heavenly Emperor said with a slight anger.
"Precisely because they are of royal blood, they might seize your throne, which is why you are so wary of them and guard against them. This is also understandable!" Lu Fan shrugged.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lu Fan, a look of admiration instantly appearing in his eyes. He had not expected Lu Fan to say such words, which were quite striking.
However, it was understandable. Even a normal person could see his concerns.
"Therefore, the Ninth Prince walks on thin ice in the imperial court and is very afraid of the Heavenly Emperor!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Because his overstepping his bounds might lead to his own demise!"
"You know too much, young man. However, speaking of which, this matter concerns the reputation of the entire royal family. If there is indeed a prince who carries the blood of the Hell Dynasty, he must be found!" the Heavenly Emperor stated directly. "Especially before the war between the two dynasties. If we cannot find out who it is, all the princes will be placed under house arrest, and no mistakes will be tolerated!"
"Heavenly Emperor, please rest assured. I am already investigating in secret, but I am not yet sure who it is," Lu Fan shook his head. "Once I have identified him, I will inform the Heavenly Emperor!"
The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, quite appreciative of Lu Fan's words.
