Chapter 398 Killing King Zhao
Hu Mingyu frowned slightly, as if she had endless worries in her heart. Her mood was a little chaotic, but she calmed down in an instant. Clearly, she had a decision in mind.
"Teacher, I must go. Even if my sister disagrees, I still have to go. That is my family's enemy. I am also a daughter of the Hu family. I can't pretend that nothing happened."
Her voice was trembling with tears, and even a hint of malice: "Teacher, I haven't been out all these years. My sister has been handling the revenge. But I'm not weak anymore. I must get involved, otherwise I won't be able to get rid of my inner demons."
Having come this far, Gu Yuchuan naturally wouldn't refuse. In fact, the reason he wanted Hu Mingxin to go was because he could tell that Hu Mingxin was developing some inner demons about this matter. If revenge could remove these inner demons, that would be even better.
Gu Yuchuan felt a little sorry for his apprentice: "Alright, since that's the case, I agree to take you under my wing."
Hatred had never disappeared from her heart, and she knelt down excitedly: "Disciple thanks you, Master."
Gu Yuchuan sighed, hoping that this revenge would go smoothly. Otherwise, he didn't know how upset his disciple would be. After all, his only disciple was someone he loved very much.
Soon, a month passed. Hu Mingxin sent a message saying that they were ready and could set off at any time. Gu Yuchuan gave some instructions to his family and then set off with Hu Mingyu.
They met in Mingcheng, which was not far from King Zhao's fiefdom.
This operation was a secret mission, and not many people came. The two of them had just arrived in Ming City when they were led into a secret stronghold. There were twelve people there, six Golden Core stage cultivators and six Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but two of them looked like they had just broken through to the next level.
The benefits of advancement in this world for cultivators are slowly becoming apparent. Nowadays, many cultivators have broken through their original barriers. The number of Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Core cultivators, and even cultivators in the Transformation stage has increased significantly.
Previously, there were never so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators. This is the benefit that world advancement brings to cultivators; no wonder high-level cultivators all want world advancement.
Hu Mingxin spotted Hu Mingyu following behind Gu Yuchuan at a glance, her eyes revealing a hint of sharpness.
"Nonsense! Didn't I specifically ask His Majesty the Demon Emperor to send you a message? I didn't recommend you come. You really don't listen to your sister. Do you know how dangerous this is? One of us taking the risk is enough."
Having been in a high position for a long time, Hu Mingxin's words carried the pressure of a superior, which made Gu Yuchuan a little unhappy. Even his sister wouldn't argue like that with her apprentice.
"Alright, Crown Princess, this matter is approved by me. I believe that your hatred is not just yours alone. My disciple is also a daughter of the Hu family, and naturally she has the obligation to seek revenge. I also have the right to protect her."
Hu Mingxin realized that she had acted impulsively, and she quickly composed herself.
"I was overthinking it. With His Majesty the Demon Emperor as my master, my sister is definitely safe. I thank His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
With her yielding attitude, Gu Yuchuan saw no need to continue speaking; the matter at hand was dealing with Prince Zhao.
The Crown Prince's absence was expected; as the Crown Prince, it's best to avoid taking risks.
Hu Mingxin began to explain the plan to them, first taking out a formation plate.
"This is the Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Formation, a peak level four formation. It can definitely trap the entire Zhaowang Mansion. I have already investigated. Zhaowang is currently in the mansion, attempting to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Our task is simple: seal off the mansion and besiege Zhaowang. With so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators like us, there shouldn't be any problems."
As expected of the people of the Yun Dynasty, they still care a lot about their population. King Zhao is guilty, but the mortals in King Zhao's territory are innocent. These are all the wealth of the dynasty and cannot be lost, which is why this formation exists.
No matter how fiercely they fought within the formation, it wouldn't affect the outside world in any way. This group of Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't break a level four peak formation.
Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would have to attack with all their might to break a level four peak formation; that's the mystery of formations.
However, this idea seemed so simple and crude that Gu Yuchuan felt it was a makeshift operation.
"Princess Consort, do you not have any information about what treasures Prince Zhao possesses or what kind of cultivation method he practices? We could prepare accordingly."
Hu Mingxin's face showed a moment of panic: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, Prince Zhao cultivates a unique method of the royal family, so we cannot tell you how to restrain him. However, we have called you here to provide support. Rest assured, we are probably capable of handling this."
Since she said so, Gu Yuchuan didn't ask any further questions. It would be best if she could keep the enemy in check. It would be good if they could avoid fighting, as everyone would have to expend their magic power, and if they got injured, they would have to take medicine. Keeping the enemy in check was the best option.
"Alright, then I won't ask any more questions. I hope you can win. I just don't know when we're going?"
Gu Yuchuan was getting impatient. He didn't want to waste too much time on this matter. He wanted to go back and continue his cultivation. Right now, his luck was at its peak, and with his comprehension of the laws, his cultivation was growing rapidly.
Hu Mingxin immediately replied, "It's tonight. There's no time to lose. We don't plan to give Prince Zhao any time to react. We'll go there tonight, and once the formation is activated, it will cover the entire palace. Then, not a single person will be left alive."
Her tone was cold and vicious, but no one had a different idea. Since they had offended King Zhao, it was best to wipe out all his direct descendants. Otherwise, who knew if some lucky guy would be let go? What if he came back for revenge later?
After reaching a consensus on this matter, all that was left was to wait for nightfall. Fortunately, it was already afternoon, and evening was not far off. They were all meditating here, trying to adjust their state of mind.
Combat also depends on one's state of mind; making proper adjustments can always improve combat power, even slightly.
Finally, darkness fell, and everyone gradually opened their eyes, ending their meditation.
Looking at everyone, Hu Mingxin was filled with excitement. Finally, they could avenge their family's hatred.
"Everyone, it's time to set off. Remember to conceal your magical power and aura, and try your best not to attract anyone's attention before setting up the formation. After the mission is accomplished, the Crown Prince will reward you handsomely."
