Fortunately, it seemed that the Third Princess's magical powers kept them from being discovered, and they successfully left Baolongdi along the retreat route.

Back in the palace, Yan Buji found that he was not in the place just now, but in a house in the cold palace.

Zhao Zhen also appeared here, and the two looked at each other.

"Huyan Feng, who are you?" Zhao Zhen looked at him curiously.

Yan Buji looked outside and suddenly said, "It's late at night, the Third Princess should go back to her residence to rest."

Zhao Zhen looked outside and nodded, "I think we will see each other again."

"I hope so."

After Zhao Zhen left, Fang Kun and others soon came over, looking at him with sweat on their heads, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Huyan, you are finally back, why did you delay so much time?"

"I don't know." Yan Buji shook his head.

Fang Kun frowned, but still said nothing.

"Let's report to His Majesty first."

"Okay."

Everyone went directly to Ninghe Palace and saw Emperor Baocheng sitting in his original position, looking very calm, as if he was not worried about any accidents on this trip.

Yan Buji raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had underestimated him before.

"Your Majesty, we have done everything you told us to do!"

"No accidents?"

Emperor Baocheng looked at Yan Buji with a hint of meaning, and Yan Buji laughed: "Your Majesty, after thinking about it, I still have to tell you about this. On this trip, I met the third princess, which delayed me for some time to come back."

"Ah?!" Fang Kun widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Why didn't you say it just now?

Emperor Baocheng sighed: "Others, leave."

"Yes."

Fang Kun and the other two looked at Emperor Baocheng and Yan Buji in confusion, not understanding when the third princess entered Baolongdi.

After others left, Emperor Baocheng stood up from the desk and asked: "Hu Yanfeng, do you know where Zhen'er came from?"

"Huh?"

Yan Buji was stunned.

What, it's not your child?

"Zhen'er was born with a delicate mind, but unfortunately, she has opened six of the seven orifices, and one is still blocked. She is not born with a physique that can practice cultivation, otherwise I could send her to the Xuanmen to practice." Emperor Baocheng sighed.

It turns out that Emperor Baocheng knew that Zhao Zhen had a six-orifice delicate mind, but it seems that he didn't know its true function, right?

Yan Buji was puzzled: "I am more curious about the identity of the third princess. Since Your Majesty knew that she was a little special, why did you let her follow into Baolongdi?"

Emperor Baocheng laughed: "Because I know you will bring her back."

Humph

Yan Buji sneered in his heart, but still bowed his hands on his face: "Okay, in that case, I'll go back first."

"No hurry, you went to Xueyun Peak today, have you seen the palace?"

"I saw it... The third princess said there are some dragon bones in it, which can be used to refine dragon pills."

Emperor Baocheng looked at Yan Buji in surprise: "She even told you this, Huyan Feng, you still have something to tell me? For example, what happened to her in Baolongdi?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you tell me what the third princess is first."

Emperor Baocheng smiled and said: "She is the reincarnation of a great cultivator of Xuangen Dao."

Ah?

Yan Buji's eyes widened. He just asked casually, and he didn't expect Emperor Baocheng to really say it.

The key is whether this is true?

Yan Buji was stunned for a while and looked at him hesitantly.

Emperor Baocheng smiled: "No matter what, she is my daughter in this life. She also knows what I want to do but does not interfere. Do you understand what I mean?"

"It means that what you want to do does not conflict with what she wants to do, even if it involves Xuan Gen Dao?" Yan Buji asked.

"You are really a smart person. I like to talk to smart people. Why don't you tell me why you concealed your identity as a cultivator and deliberately came here?" Emperor Baocheng spoke frankly.

Yan Buji took a deep breath and fell silent.

Should I take action?

Since the other party has already discovered it and dared to say it to my face, I am not afraid to take action myself.

So he can be sure that I am not from a big force?

Yan Buji's eyes turned, and he suddenly remembered Li Daoren.

"I was entrusted by Li Daoren to find the third princess. It's just that I happened to meet His Majesty. I didn't expect His Majesty to have such ambitions and wanted to get some benefits." Yan Buji said directly.

Emperor Baocheng frowned: "Li Dao Ren...it's him, he's not dead yet?"

"Does he have a grudge against your majesty?"

"Humph, just a lingering waste. Huyan Feng, I don't know what benefits he promised you, but you work for me, I won't treat you unfairly."

Emperor Baocheng looked at him: "Tell me what happened to Li Dao Ren first?"

"He's deformed."

Emperor Baocheng looked like "as expected": "It seems that you really met him. Since you know he's deformed, it means...it's useful. Haha, you came for Zhen'er, maybe for her six-orifice exquisite heart?"

Yan Buji nodded: "Indeed. But I think your majesty and the third princess are not easy to deal with, so the promise to Li Dao Ren is naturally invalid."

"Then aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Why does your majesty want to do it?" Yan Buji asked back.

Emperor Baocheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of something: "You are a Dharma cultivator now, you don't have the true essence of martial arts, right?"

Hmm?

Since Emperor Baocheng can see my own magic power, why can't he see my martial arts essence?

If so...

Yan Buji nodded: "That's right. I was lucky enough to break through the Heavenly Man Realm, but in order to go further, I gave up martial arts and turned to magic cultivation. After many twists and turns, I am only at the third level of Qi Refining."

"The third level of Qi Refining... Enough, Hu Yanfeng, I will give you another task. From today on, you will help me collect information about those cultivation forces in the Spirit Realm, and report back if there is any movement."

Yan Buji raised his eyebrows: "This..."

"I will give you 30,000 spirit stones as funds, is it enough?"

"Enough."

"That's good."

Yan Buji saw Emperor Baocheng take out a spirit stone bag and took it directly.

"Your Majesty, what kind of information do you want me to collect?"

Emperor Baocheng hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "Let's see how many foreign cultivators are among the cultivators who have recently entered the Ascension Conference. Secondly, how many secret connections do these cultivators have with local cultivation forces."

Yan Buji nodded: "Okay."

After Yan Buji left, Emperor Baocheng sat in front of the desk.

Zhao Zhen suddenly walked out from the back and stood beside him.

"Father, are you really confident about this Hu Yanfeng? I guess you don't even know his real name?"

"Haha, I don't believe that such a person would give up greater interests for a small profit to be favored by Li Daoren and sent here for your six-orifice exquisite heart." Emperor Baocheng smiled faintly.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand without comment: "Then I can only hope that my father will not end up with nothing, and let others take advantage of it."

"You don't have to do this, Brother Zhao. We are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and we can both benefit from it. Isn't Brother Zhao reincarnated until now just for the humane inheritance of the Eight Dao Xuanmen?"

Zhao Zhen showed a shallow dimple and smiled very brightly.
