Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 - Meng Ruxue's goal, the network of relationships in the dynasty!

Soon after, the Heavenly Demoness left the Imperial Prince's Mansion, he had to continue to disguise himself as Chu Yuan, thus it was impossible for him to stay here for too long. 

Chu Yun was currently sitting alone in the house, the one he was holding in his hand was the one that Wang Hanmao and the others had given him, the box that sealed the evil baby.

  "Night Swallow, are you sure you have this certainty?"

  "Two Nirvana Realm Evil Infants, and you'll be able to successfully evolve into the Exalted level?"

  Chu Yun's inner consciousness questioned the Evil Infant Night Swallow.

  Night Swallow was respectful, "My lord, this matter is true."

  "I have been at the peak of the Nirvana Realm for many years, and I have swallowed no less than a dozen Nirvana Realm Evil Infants, and I am nine times out of ten away from metamorphosing to the Exalted level."

  "If I devour two more Nirvana Realm Evil Infants, I will definitely be able to become a Venerable Level Evil Infant and will never let my master down!"

  Night Swallow swore with assurance.

  Chu Yun listened to its words and his face did not change, "I hope so."

  "If you can reach the Exalted One level, then you will be able to transform into a human body, and at that time, you will not need to hide in the consciousness of this Hall's mind all the time."

  Evil infants at the Zun Shi realm level no longer needed to exist as infants, they could change into types at will, such as humanoids and demonic beasts, none of which would be difficult for them.

  And unless their cultivation level was much higher than theirs, even a Venerable at the same realm would have difficulty discovering the true body of their Evil Infant without making a move!

  After Chu Yun put away the box, he looked for Luo Feng to enter the palace with him.

  There were some things that he intended to talk to his mother consort and uncle about.

  ......

  Prime Minister's Mansion.

  At this moment, Meng Ruxue held the list in her hands, her eyes hovering carefully within the names.

  Her formation that was prepared to deal with the Nirvana Realm had already been set up.

  It was just outside the Imperial City, in a place called the Valley of the Broken Moon.

  It was sparsely populated and silent and barren, a perfect place to plot.

  After Meng Ruoxue carefully reviewed the lists, in the end, the target was locked onto one person.

  The Yan Family's Grand Elder, Yan Song!

  The Yan Family, was a local family within the Imperial City.

  Although no one was an official in the dynasty, the Yan family's heritage was something that one could not ignore, with their ancestors having once produced a Zun Shi realm level figure.

  Although it was no longer what it used to be, amongst all the families in the Imperial City, it was enough to rank in the top three.

  Especially the contemporary Yan Family's family head, whose talent wasn't bad, and who wanted to break through to the Zun Shi realm, was only missing some opportunities.

  "It's him!"

  "Yan Song!" Meng Ruxue identified her target.

  When that beautiful woman heard this name, her mind thought carefully, "Miss, this person Yan Song has a high seniority in the Yan Family, but he does not have an heir and often stays within the Yan Family."

  "Trying to trick him out of the city, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

  Meng Ruoxue looked indifferent: "Not having an heir doesn't mean he doesn't have anyone he cares about."

  "I once heard that Yan Song was out there, harboring a few young women, you follow this line and check it out."

  The beautiful woman responded, "Yes, miss."

  ......

  In the Imperial Palace.

  Chu Yun, Concubine Shi, and Venerable Shura, the three of them sat in unison.

  "Yun'er, do you have something to do this time?" Consort Shi asked directly.

  "Mother Consort, my son intends to ... establish his own network of relationships within the Imperial City." Chu Yun said.

  Concubine Shi and Venerable Cultivator Xiu Luo could not help but glance at each other, and the latter clasped his hands on his chest as he said in a faint voice, "Tell me about it."

  "Good."

  "Uncle, Mother Concubine, at present, you must also be aware that if the power of the Empress' faction is put aside, the power and connections surrounding the Crown Prince himself are also the strongest amongst all of Father's sons and daughters."

  "Thus, if one were to rely solely on the Shi family, it would be difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and the power would be too thin."

  "Thus, I want to use me as the base to start building a network of relationships that is uniquely my own."

  "I have come here, but I also mainly want to ask Mother Consort and Uncle, which of the forces within this Imperial City, are suitable to stand on my side?" Chu Yun said seriously.

  His thoughts, naturally, had undergone thorough consideration.

  After Shi Fei and Venerable Shura were silent for a while, the former said, "Yun'er, there are quite a number of forces within the Imperial City, and their relationships are also more complicated."

  "Some of the native forces within the Imperial City, the Crown Prince has pulled together at least half of them."

  "For the rest, the only ones that can be looked upon are the Yan Family, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, the Ming King's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion."

  Chu Yun sniffed, he had naturally heard of these few forces.

  The Yan Family, with its strength and depth, was ranked among the top three local families in the Imperial City.

  The Prime Minister's House, there was no need to mention that the Prime Minister, the first minister of power, was an actual Zun Shi realm powerhouse!

  Even his uncle, more or less have to give him three thin face.

  The Ming Wang Mansion is one of the three major royal mansions in the Imperial City.

  The other two kings were the Black Iron King and the Xuan King.

  The former had long since been a member of the Queen's faction, and the latter, from fifty years ago, had already closed his eyes to death, and could not see anyone, and did not make any considerations at all.

  As for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

  Before the Smoke and Rain Building entered the Imperial City, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was the number one Chamber of Commerce in the Grand Xia Dynasty, with unlimited splendor.

  But when the Smoke and Rain Building appeared, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was suppressed all the way, and its business was severely damaged.

  Because of the resources, even the strength of the personnel, can not be compared to the Smoke and Rain Building.

  Since then, Tianbao Pavilion has been Smoke and Rain House pressure, the past glory no longer exists.

  Nowadays, can only in the great summer dynasty other places, open some branch pavilion, to relieve the main cabinet loss pressure.

  However, although the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion is not as good as the Smoke and Rain Building, it does not mean that the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion will be completely destroyed.

  After all, it is also when the first Chamber of Commerce, the camel is bigger than a horse!

  Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's pavilion master, can still be a Zun Shi realm level characters.

  Only nowadays, because of the existence of the Smoke and Rain Building, they had no choice but to become very low-profile.

  "These few forces, I've heard that the Crown Prince seems to have pulled them together, but they all failed in the end."

  Venerable Cultivator nodded and responded, "Indeed, not only did Chu Rong pull in even them, he even tried the Xuan Wangfu."

  "However, the helmsmen of these several forces, one is more refined than the other, and what they want more than getting themselves involved in the whirlpool of imperial power, is their own peace and stability."

  "After all, in the struggle for imperial power, there has never been a party that dares to say that they have an absolute certainty of victory."

  "They are all smart people, and know the consequences of doing that."

  Chu Yun's face was solemn: "The main point that they did not accept Chu Rong's solicitation, I think it is still because of Father Emperor."

  Venerable Cultivator and Concubine Shi gave him a somewhat surprised and astonished look, "Yun'er, you can think of this point on, your eyesight is truly extraordinary."

  "You are right, the main point why Prime Minister Meng, including the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's Pavilion Master and the rest of them, refused is because of your father."

  "The current emperor!"
