"I have entered the Hell Dynasty, and I heard it directly from the mouth of a prince of the Hell Dynasty!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Grand Tutor, what you said is a bit incomprehensible. How am I talking nonsense?"
"Entered the Hell Dynasty?" The Grand Tutor chuckled, "You have quite a big mouth. I've heard that to enter the Hell Dynasty, one must cross the River of Darkness, and even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might not be able to cross it easily!"
"It's not that there's no way to cross the River of Darkness, it's just that some people are cowardly and use this as an excuse to not dare to enter the Hell Dynasty!" Lu Fan said, "If the River of Darkness were truly that terrifying, why would the people of the Hell Dynasty so easily come to the Heavenly Dynasty!"
With these words, everyone present was startled. Lu Fan's rhetoric was indeed impressive, making them feel that the River of Darkness was not as formidable as rumored, or at least had a weakness, otherwise the people of the Hell Dynasty would not have been able to come to the Heavenly Dynasty so easily.
The Grand Tutor stood aside, filled with displeasure, but unsure how to refute. A surge of anger instantly rose within him. Lu Fan's words were clearly a slap in his face.
"Alright, alright, you two 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's absolutely true, there's no mistake!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn, "I implore the Heavenly Emperor to take precautions early and not to be careless in the slightest. Otherwise, when the experts of the Hell Dynasty arrive, it will inevitably cause endless turmoil!"
Facing these words, the Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious. If what Lu Fan said was true, they would indeed need to strengthen their defenses and not slacken in the slightest.
"Our Heavenly Dynasty has been established for so many years, and we have never feared anyone!" the Grand Tutor said, cupping his fist, "The Heavenly Emperor need not worry too much. With the strength of the Heavenly Dynasty, this matter is not insurmountable!"
"What the Grand Tutor said is indeed correct, but this matter concerns the foundation of the nation and cannot be taken lightly in the slightest!"
The Heavenly Emperor said directly, "From now on, all departments shall strictly guard. If any person from the Hell Dynasty is found, they shall be killed without mercy. We must not let the tiger return to the mountains!"
"We respectfully obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!" everyone cupped their fists, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
After a while, the 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 the sight, clearly not expecting anyone to be so audacious as to act in such a manner at his mansion.
Concurrently, the old Grand Tutor picked up the envelope and examined it carefully. A slight smile curved his lips, as if he had received some useful information that delighted him.
At the same time, 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 has the blood of the Hell Dynasty flowing through him?"
"There is absolutely no mistake. I obtained this information from the Hell Dynasty!" Lu Fan said, cupping his fist, "If the Heavenly Emperor does not believe me, he can go and investigate!"
"King of the Northwest, do you know that with just those words you just spoke, I could have you killed!" the Heavenly Emperor said directly, "You should be very aware of the relationships between the many princes, and how easily they could be framed!"
"I've said so much, but it seems the Heavenly Emperor hasn't listened to a single word!" Lu Fan said with a bitter smile, "Since that's the case, I'll just take it back as if I never said it!"
"But you have already said it!"
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was somewhat serious as he looked at Lu Fan, "And for the safety of the Heavenly Dynasty, you must continue speaking. Although I am reluctant to believe it, if this matter is true, it will undoubtedly deal a devastating blow to 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 also out of helplessness!"
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 should understand them the most deeply. You are their father!"
"King of the Northwest, what you say is quite interesting!" the Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly, "Why do I not quite understand?"
"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 has a complete grasp of the many princes!"
"You are correct, I am indeed aware of the movements of the many princes. However, you say that one of the princes has the blood of the Hell Dynasty flowing through him; I still do not know who this person is!" 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 so frankly!"
"Because I know that the Heavenly Emperor will not make things difficult for me, nor will he show me any ruthless affection!" Lu Fan said with a bitter smile, "As for the other many princes, it is a completely different story!"
"What is different about them? They are all my brothers, are they not inferior to you?" the Heavenly Emperor said with a slight anger.
"Precisely because they are of royal blood and could potentially seize your throne, you are so wary of them and guard against them. This is also understandable!" Lu Fan shrugged.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lu Fan, instantly feeling a sense of admiration. He had not expected Lu Fan to say such words, which were quite striking.
However, it made sense. Even a normal person should be able to see his inner concerns.
"Therefore, the Ninth Prince treads on thin ice in the imperial court and appears very fearful of the Heavenly Emperor!" Lu Fan shrugged, "Because it is very possible that his overstepping will lead to his own demise!"
"You know too much, boy. However, speaking of which, this matter concerns the dignity of the entire royal family. If there really is a prince with the blood of the Hell Dynasty, he must be found!" the Heavenly Emperor said directly, "Especially before the two dynasties go to war. If this can be found out beforehand, all the princes will be placed under house arrest, and no problems will be tolerated!"
"Heavenly Emperor, please rest assured. I am already investigating in secret, but I am still not entirely sure who it is!" Lu Fan shook his head, "Once I have identified him, I will surely inform the Heavenly Emperor!"
The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, finding Lu Fan's words quite admirable.
