My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chapter 327 - 160 Crown Prince Rebels_5

"Indeed, it is I!"

Chen Sansi controlled his tone and manner to ensure it was completely different from his usual self.

"Hero Zhang!"

Yun Xiaozi narrowed his eyes warily and said, "Our Incense Fire Divine Sect bears no grudge against you. Why then do you repeatedly rob our incense and kill our disciples!"

"Your Incense Fire Divine Sect robs the divine incense, deceiving the common folk—everyone involved deserves death!"

Chen Sansi retorted, "Don’t think I don’t know that you are instructed by the Crown Prince!"

"Ah?"

Yun Xiaozi exclaimed in shock, "How do you even know that!"

"There’s nothing in this world that I, Lai Zi, don’t know about!"

Chen Sansi’s face remained expressionless, but his mind began to race.

He casually bluffed, and these two confessed.

It really was the Crown Prince’s doing.

The reason he had come today was partly because he needed more incense to advance his Sword Qi Skill to the next stage, and partly because he truly wanted to understand what the Crown Prince was plotting.

After all, this place was a battlefield; he had to ensure no one was causing mischief behind his back.

"This..."

Yun Xiaozi’s face kept changing colors. He had planned to kill him and silence him, but considering the speed with which the opposed absorbed the incense, which indicated daunting capabilities, he ultimately didn’t dare to make a rash move.

He tentatively asked, "Hero Zhang, why the trouble? Must you oppose us and His Highness? With your capabilities, why not join us? Once our plan succeeds, you’ll be credited with a colossal help!"

A colossal help?

Chen Sansi seemed to stumble upon some incredible information unintentionally.

The Incense God Sect was aligned with the Crown Prince.

Then they mentioned a colossal help.

The Crown Prince...

Planning a revolt, to commit patricide?

He maintained a calm demeanor, "Nonsense! I am a seeker of immortality, I have no interest in the affairs of the court!"

"Hero Zhang, don’t be hasty in rejecting!"

Yun Xiaozi said, "How about this, let me report back to His Highness, and since His Highness will surely appreciate someone of your stature, the terms he offers might not be easily refused by you."

Chen Sansi didn’t answer and made a gesture as if he was about to act.

"Why must it come to this?!"

Yun Xiaozi backed away continuously, "Hero Zhang, how about this, meet us at the Mountain God Temple in Taihu Prefecture four months from now! Then, depending on whether you are satisfied with the conditions, it’s not too late to decide on cooperation."

"Right."

Ling Xuzi followed up, "Since you are not interested in the affairs of the court, you presumably won’t disclose this matter. As for the rest, we can negotiate slowly when the time comes!"

Taihu Prefecture.

Chen Sansi, who looked at maps day and night, knew exactly where it was.

Next to Taihu Prefecture was Ziwei Mountain!

That is to say.

If the Crown Prince were to stage a revolt, he would choose to act in Ziwei Mountain, which meant, on the condition that he had regained control of three states.

Originally.

The information from the Seeking Immortal Tower was correct, the Incense God Sect was indeed planning something major in "Capital City".

Only, this ’Capital City’ was not a place, but a person—the Emperor!

"To show our sincerity..."

Yun Xiaozi produced a miniature incense burner from his robes, "These incenses, consider them a meeting gift for Hero Zhang. For past incidents, our Incense Fire Divine Sect promises not to pursue them. How about it?"

"Tch!"

Chen Sansi glared and said, "Then don’t dawdle, get lost!"

"Quickly, let’s go!"

Yun Xiaozi and his companion exchanged looks, then quickly retreated.

After Chen Sansi confirmed they were far away using his Qi Observation Skill, he began examining the incense burner on the ground. The miniature one was no bigger than the size of a palm, but it was surrounded by Purple Energy and full of incense, with a blood-red mark under it as well.

"This incense is enough for the Sword Qi Skill to break through."

He took out Xuanzhu and absorbed all the incense, then casually discarded the incense burner.

It had marks on it, carrying it would make him be tracked.

Moreover, after experimenting, the Spiritual Grain obtained from the burner wasn’t better than that from the Mystic Iron Furnace because it wasn’t meant for alchemy to begin with, so there was no use in keeping it.

As for ointments, he wasn’t lacking now.

Today’s venture was quite fruitful.

Still...

Why did the Crown Prince have to choose Ziwei Mountain for the revoltext, of all places?

Upon further thought, he understood.

Whether it was a coup or a revolt, one needed enough men at hand, and the Crown Prince’s influence within the Capital City surely couldn’t surpass the Old Emperor’s. Even around the Capital, mobilizing troops would be too conspicuous and easily detected.

But Ziwei Mountain was just the right place!

After the battle, the Emperor would surely come to offer sacrifices.

And with the battle over the three states just ended, having troops there was nothing out of the ordinary, plus the early arrival under the radar of people like Pei Tiannan made everything logical.

Still...

The battle wasn’t over yet, and the Crown Prince was already laying the groundwork.

What if the subsequent battles were lost, or if they failed to recover the three states?

Would he still force the ’palace’ issue?

Never mind.

These things had nothing to do with him.

For Chen Sansi.

The one who poisoned him, the Old Emperor who had endured ten miserable days in Yunzhou, deserved death. The Crown Prince who used living people for sacrifices wasn’t any better; it made no difference who was Emperor to him.

The only thing worth considering was whether in the future, while ensuring his own safety, it was possible to swindle more benefits from the hands of the Incense Fire Divine Sect.

And it seemed...

Yun Xiaozi had mistaken him for some great master.

Of course, Chen Sansi wasn’t purely pretending.

His Qi Observation Skill allowed him to judge strength.

The Mystical Energy within Yun Xiaozi wasn’t even more potent than his own. If it really came to a fight, it would merely be a matter of killing him with the Sword Qi Skill.

The Imperial Family really lacked kinship!

After a brief moment of reflection, Chen Sansi left the grand hall and vaulted out of the temple, merging into the darkness again.

No matter how big the uproar, the immediate battle still had to be fought.
