You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 343 - 2. Completely exterminate_2

Lin Yue felt a little confused, but he still nodded and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

"In addition, I suggest you hide your identity before entering."

The man in a green robe said, "Only those chosen by it can enter that mountainous area, geniuses with the Xiahong bloodline within five generations can enter anytime, and some people are going for the second or third time."

"And you, the current top genius of the Human Clan, are destined to be favored by that mountainous area. Many of those geniuses belong to different factions, and once they discover you, they might join forces to target you and expel you prematurely."

The man in a green robe continued, "Don't you possess the countenance of the Sixteenth Prince's past life? Use it to alter your appearance in advance. Even if you're suppressed to a mortal state after entering, you won't revert to your original form."

"Understood."

Lin Yue slightly nodded, having some ideas in mind.

"Alright, come to see me after breaking through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier," the man in a green robe said with a smile, "By then, I will give you a great benefit."

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then took out a wooden box and said, "Master, this is a piece of Heaven and Earth Jade given to me by the Fifth Prince. Please help check whether there's any issue."

The man in a green robe casually captured the wooden box, opened it to take a look, and nodded slightly, "The King's gesture is indeed significant; it seems he truly values you."

He lightly tapped his fingers and said, "There's no issue; you don't need to worry about him. He indeed values you. If you are not bound to compete with him for the throne in the future, the King will surely be a good ally."

"Competing for the throne, is there any benefit?" Lin Yue couldn't help but wonder, "I still don't understand why the Princes compete for the throne."

"When you reach Harmonization and Sealing King, you will naturally understand," the man in a green robe softly said, "Whether to compete for the throne depends on your Dao Heart, see if you need it."

He didn't elaborate further, waved his hand, and returned the Heaven and Earth Jade to Lin Yue, saying, "Go, the fact that you are my direct disciple will be announced to all by the Ancestor Hall. I will also do my best to protect you."

"Yes, disciple takes his leave." Lin Yue felt joy in his heart and immediately departed.

The bronze door slammed shut.

The man in a green robe silently sat in the dim hall, sighing softly.

"It's been over a thousand years..."

...

In the underground secret chamber of a luxurious mansion in Di Hong City.

In the simple and plain secret chamber, a candle burning with faint blue fire was placed on the table.

A figure cloaked in a black robe sat quietly in front of the table, with their face shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see their features.

"I'm afraid... there's no chance to kill the Seventeenth Prince."

A man in a purple robe wearing an ice sculpture mask sat in front of the black-robed person, speaking in a deep voice, "With the strength of five consecutive wins on the fourth layer of Tianxia Building, he seemingly possesses some sort of protective treasure. Among the death soldiers and assassins of my Demon Clan currently lurking in Di Hong City, none can kill him."

"Perhaps we can make a move on his children?" the black-robed person spoke in a hoarse voice, "No matter what, first have the spies around the Seventeenth Prince completely go underground; the opportunity will arise eventually."

"This matter, report it to the clan as soon as possible."

The eyes beneath the ice sculpture mask of the purple-robed man revealed a trace of helplessness, "If the clan deems the Seventeenth Prince too much of a threat, they might resort to assassination at any cost."

"Difficult." The black-robed person shook their head, "After the last assassination attempt, even if he recruits again for his mansion, it will be extremely strict. If there's even the slightest hint of uncertainty about one's background, they might not be allowed into the mansion."

"Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Seventeenth Prince's daughter."

The purple-robed man pondered and said, "Perhaps we could use the opportunity to send a batch of treasures through guests to the spies in the mansion? This would also help better deploy and deliver messages."

"Very well." The black-robed person nodded slightly.

...

The next day.

In Tianmu Square, the Prince Mansion was quite lively today with many guests attending.

Moreover, there were originally hundreds of guest elders in the mansion, and now they had all gathered on Mingxin Island above Fog Lake.

Over the past five years, since Lin Yue openly recruited guest elders and specifically revealed that the cultivation environment in the mansion could rival the Core Land of various Holy Lands, a large number of powerful cultivators had sent in their introduction letters, willingly coming forth.

Among the hundreds of guest elders, most were top-tier cultivators at the Four Symbols Peak, and there were eleven Great Cultivators, with even those of low cultivation having considerable talent.

The mansion had already established rules. Breaking into the third layer of the Tianxia Building qualified one as an Upper Minister, and reaching the fifth layer made one a Minister Elder.

This essentially followed the rules of the Duke Heng's Manor.

However, the number of guest elders at his Prince Mansion had already surpassed that of Duke Heng's Manor, mainly because he was a Prince, and the allure of this cultivation environment was incredibly enticing.

Today was the birthday banquet of the eldest daughter of the Prince Mansion, Xiahong Ning. Lin Yue specifically allowed all guest elders to participate and invited people from Duke Heng's Manor and several allied major families, as well as some disciple nephews from the Ancestor Hall.

Although he addressed them as "disciple nephews," as the direct disciple of the Main Hall Master, all the Hall Masters from various places in the Ancestor Hall were his junior brothers, and the disciple nephews were basically Great Cultivators as well.

Mingxin Island was decorated beautifully, with a sea of colorful flowers, sometimes catching the breeze, causing petals to dance in the air like a brilliant display.

As many as several hundred people attended the birthday banquet, with singing, dancing, laughter, and joyous sounds echoing all around, creating a very lively atmosphere.

And the numerous pavilions and terraces, forming a starlike cluster, surrounded Tianyue Pavilion at the summit of Mingxin Island; inside sat Lin Yue and his family along with Duke Heng.

"Ning'er, come to Grandfather here."

Duke Heng, still looking quite spirited, smiled as he patted his granddaughter Xiahong Ning's head and gave her a small Heart Protecting Jade, saying, "I heard Ning'er has been laying a foundation lately. Is it quite painful? Grandfather gives you a Tranquil Heart Jade, to help you sleep more peacefully."
