arm skin. They were lines intertwined together, forming a complex and intricate network."Over the last year, the mark would creep up my neck, then onto my face, spreading all over. And by then, that's...The peach in front of him was the strangest creature he had ever seen.

And from the prince's expression, and his words just now, it can be seen that Peach's identity... seems to be more than just a disciple of the Heavenly Palace

Fang Yu carried the unconscious Taotao in his left hand and flew toward the distant prince.

The Crown Prince widened his eyes, staring at the unconscious Peach.

At this time, Taotao has already returned to her human form, and all her injuries have disappeared.

"Who is she" Fang Yu asked.

The crown prince looked at Fang Yu and said, "She's someone you can't mess with! If you hurt her, you, and everyone connected to you, will be erased! You'll disappear from this world forever!"

"I've heard threats like that too many times, basically... Those who make such statements have all been dealt with by me," Fang Yu sneered and said, "Besides, this isn't even human."

The prince looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with panic and fear, but also with immense anger.

He knew he was doomed.

He doesn't even have a chance to send out a distress signal!

Fang Yu looked at the prince and extended his right hand.

But after thinking about it, he put his right hand down again.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Yu extended a finger and touched the prince's forehead.

The prince's body trembled and he fainted.

Now, both the Prince and Peach Blossom... have fallen into Fang Yu's hands.

"Since this girl's status is so noble and important, wouldn't it be possible to use her as leverage against the Heavenly Palace if I take her away" Fang Yu thought to himself, his brows furrowed.

Fang Yu looked around, releasing his divine sense.

The other four disciples of Tiangong were also found by him.

And these four disciples, all only at the Heavenly Pole Realm cultivation, had all fainted due to the forceful explosion of the Empty Field just now.

"Wait until you wake up to report back to the Heavenly Palace, just in time."

Thus, Fang Yu brought the Crown Prince and Taotao back to the imperial city.

……

The Imperial Palace, the study behind the main hall.

Xiang Tianhe's mouth bled, and his limbs were bound by chains that radiated an icy blue glow as he sat in the chair.

Before him stood a man who looked exactly like him!

It is the original masked man!

Xiang Tianhe looked at the masked man, his face pale, his eyes filled with horror.

"You... what do you want to do!" Xiang Tianhe asked, both surprised and angry.

"Your Majesty, you wanted to see my true face, didn't you Here it is," the 'Xiang Tianhe' before him said with a chilling smile, "Let me tell you, I can be any appearance I desire."

Xiang Tianhe's face darkened.

He suddenly realized what the man in the mask was going to do next.

"You want to disguise yourself as me and control the entire Eternal Dynasty!" Xiang Tianhe asked.

"No, no, no..." The masked man shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, we've been together for so long, how could you misunderstand me so deeply If I wanted the Eternal Dynasty, I could have taken it ages ago. Why wait until today"

Xiang Tianhe's lips trembled.

He had actually already guessed the masked man's scheme.

"Your Majesty, I know you're not stupid... You must know what I want... It's the Pristine Heavenly Heart." The masked man bowed slightly, his face, identical to Xiang Tianhe's, drawing closer.

Xiang Tianhe swallowed nervously and asked, “Is this your… plan all these years of getting close to me”

"That's right, I wasn't sure at first whether you actually possessed such a divine artifact." The masked man smiled faintly. "And you were indeed cautious enough. Had it not been for the immense pressure from the Prince, I doubt you would have revealed that you held such a treasure left behind by a true immortal."

"Luckily, I was patient enough and waited for so many years. Finally, the good news came."

"Now... Your Majesty, if I were you, I would surrender this Pristine Heavenly Heart willingly. Whether for my years of service to you or to save your own life… you must make the right choice."

At this point, Xiang Tianhe had understood. The masked man before him... had been aiming for the Wugou Tianxin from the very beginning!

But how could he possibly know of the existence of the Pure Heavenly Heart!

This secret is known only to each generation's head of the Xiang family. Besides each generation's head... no one else knows about the existence of the Immaculate Celestial Heart!

"Your Majesty, make a decision quickly. I guarantee that if you hand over the Immaculate Sky Heart, I will not only release you but also help you resolve the trouble with the Heavenly Palace..." The masked man said, "Fang Yu has already attacked the crown prince, and the Heavenly Palace's revenge is inevitable. If you don't hand over the Immaculate Sky Heart to me, you won't be able to give it to Fang Yu... Then no one will be able to bear the wrath of the Heavenly Palace."

"Do you want the Eternal Dynasty to disappear overnight"

If you don't want to, just hand over the Pure Heavenly Mind.

Xiang Tianhe's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart pounding with astonishment.

No one knows the current situation better than him.

Just like the Man in Mask said, his choices were limited.

Fang Yu has already taken action, so the revenge from Tiangong... will be here soon.

Before the First-Tier Immortal Sect, the Eternal Imperial Dynasty was as fragile as glass.

From this perspective, it seems like the only option is to entrust the Pure Heavenly Heart to the masked man.

But... Xiang Tianhe didn't trust the masked man!

Once he surrenders the Immaculate Heavenly Heart, then whether it be the Eternal Imperial Dynasty or his own life... would all be held in the hands of others.

The Masked Man could completely walk away, or he could continue to blackmail Xiang Tianhe and get more benefits.

"No, I can't hand over the Immaculate Heart! Absolutely not!"

Xiang Tianhe's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.

He knew, given the circumstances… Pure Heavenly Heart was his only lifeline.

Besides him, no one knows where the Immaculate Heavenly Heart is hidden.

That is to say, his life was directly linked to the purity of Heaven's Heart!

To save his own life, he had to keep the Pristine Heart of Heaven firmly in his grasp, absolutely refusing to relinquish it!

"Well, Your Majesty, have you made up your mind" The masked man looked at Xiang Tianhe and asked.

"I... I don't believe you, I won't hand over the Immaculate Heavenly Heart." Xiang Tianhe looked at the masked man and said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the masked man in front of him instantly turned gloomy.

"Are you trying to bury the Eternal Dynasty with you" the masked man asked in a cold voice.

"You can kill me...but if you do, you'll never get the Pristine Heavenly Heart." Xiang Tianhe said.

The masked man glared at Xiang Tianhe, his eyes flashing with the coldest chill.

"You think grasping the Immaculate Heavenly Heart will save you from disaster" The masked man sneered, "I have ten thousand ways to make you wish for death..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the masked man suddenly turned his head to the side.

"Fang Yu is back…" The masked man pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiang Tianhe and said, "Next, your Majesty, just watch my performance. Perhaps you still hold onto illusions about Fang Yu, but I guarantee… soon you will only have this choice to believe in."

……

"Creak!"

One minute later, Fang Yu pushed open the study door and walked in.

'Xiang Tianhe' was sitting behind his desk, looking at Fang Yu.

"Sect Leader Fang, how did you get here so quickly..." Xiang Tianhe's face was filled with surprise as he immediately stood up.

“Long story short, the Crown Prince is in my hands, but I haven't deposed him yet,” Fang Yu said. “I've thought about it, you still need to let me see the Immaculate Heavenly Heart first. Deal cash for goods, and I can depose the Crown Prince right away, and then you give me the Immaculate Heavenly Heart.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianhe's eyes flickered, and he walked forward.

"The prince is in your hands now, isn't he" Xiang Tianhe asked.

"Yes," Fang Yu nodded.

"Could you please let me meet him I'd like to talk to him." Xiang Tianhe said.

"Since we've both seen life and death, is there still something to talk about, something about life" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and replied.

Xiang Tianhe sighed and said, “After all, he’s my biological son. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Palace's deliberate instigation, causing us to be at odds as father and son, we… should have been a family.”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Xiang Tianhe and asked, "Are you sure you want to meet the prince"

"If I could... I really do want to say a few words to him." Xiang Tianhe's face was heavy as he nodded.

"Alright, then I'll have him meet you." Fang Yu said.

Having said that, Fang Yu raised his right hand.

"Whoosh!"

A silver dragon emerged instantly, charging straight towards Xiang Tianhe!

A sharp aura suddenly erupted!

Xiang Tianhe's face changed, and his figure immediately transformed.

Whoosh!

The silver dragon passed through Xiang Tianhe's body, then circled around before returning to Fang Yu's hand.

Fang Yu gripped the Tianqiong Sacred Halberd, looking at Xiang Tianhe who appeared beside him, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.

"How did you see through me" Xiang Tianhe looked at Fang Yu, his eyes cold and sinister.

“Although I haven’t met Old Xiang many times, I have one advantage... my memory is good.” Fang Yu inserted the Tianqiong Sacred Halberd into the ground and looked at ‘Xiang Tianhe’ in front of him, saying slowly, “You disguised yourself very well… but unfortunately, there's a slight flaw in your aura, just a little bit.” empty cores.Fang Yu stood on the ground, looking at the six remaining modified humans in front of him."The enemy's combat power is 95,462,879, extremely dangerous!
