In the main hall of the princeâs residence.
The night was dark outside.
More than ten maidservants surveyed the surroundings and were walking over, discussing softly.
âWhatâs wrong with Your Highness? Why did he bring down the surrounding palace walls?â
âIâm not sure. Itâs been a while, right?â
âWhat else could it be? His Highness must have taken a liking to that lass and is prepared to take her in. Who knows, by the time the palace walls are up, she might already be one of our sisters.â
A maidservant chuckled.
Just as the maidservants were chatting and laughing, the door to the hall suddenly opened and two people walked out one after another.
The man in front was dressed in brocade robes and was extremely handsome. There was a hint of cynicism on his face as he smirked with a sinister smile.
The woman at the back lowered her head slightly. Her face was flushed and her hair was disheveled. Her clothes were torn and she followed behind the man obediently.
The man and woman were Prince Yuan Zuo and Tang Ziyi!
The maidservants hurried forward and knelt on the ground one after another, greeting respectfully, âGreetings, Your Highness.â
âYes,â
Prince Yuan Zuo nodded slightly and waved his hand casually. âYou guys can leave first. Iâm leaving the city, I have something to do.â
As he spoke, Prince Yuan Zuo slapped his storage bag and summoned his carriage from within, sitting in it with Tang Ziyi.
âYour Highness, donât you need us to accompany you?â
A maidservant was puzzled and could not help but ask.
âThereâs no need. Iâll summon you guys if thereâs anything,â
Prince Yuan Zuo said coldly. His spirit consciousness moved and he activated the gigantic carriage, speeding out of the residence and disappearing from everyoneâs line of sight before long.
âHehe,â
After Prince Yuan Zuo left, a maidservant smiled and said, âWhat did I say? Although that Tang Ziyi has a stern expression and is cold all day long, she was still taken in by Your Highness.â
âThatâs right. From the looks of it, the âbattleâ in the hall earlier on was extremely intense.â
In the crowd, a maidservant frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, âWhy do I feel that His Highness is a little strange today?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Another maidservant asked.
âWhen he goes out usually, His Highness will definitely bring a group of us and make a grand entrance. Why is Tang Ziyi the only one brought today?â
The maidservant was puzzled and shook her head. âI canât explain why, but I feel that thereâs something strange about Your Highness today. Heâs different from usual.â
âDonât worry about it.â
Another person said, âPerhaps Your Highness is up to something. Given our status, itâs none of our business. Letâs not think too much about it.â
âTrue.â
The maidservants chatted for a while more before leaving.
â¦
The Prince Yuan Zuo that the maidservants saw was transformed by Su Zimo using the Trinity Auspicious Jade.
Indeed, the maidservants who spent their days with Prince Yuan Zuo could not see through Su Zimoâs true self either!
Su Zimo brought Feng Ziyi and swaggered out of the princeâs residence in front of many guards before heaving a sigh of relief.
As he had expected, the guards of the princeâs residence did not even dare to look at his carriage, let alone stop it.
Just like that, Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi destroyed Prince Yuan Zuoâs clone and left the heavily guarded Green Cloud City openly without encountering any obstacles!
Su Zimo did not make use of the teleportation formation of Green Cloud City.
If he used the teleportation formation to head elsewhere, he would definitely leave traces and it would be easy for Prince Yuan Zuo to track him.
But now that the two of them had left Green Cloud City, no one knew which direction they had escaped to and their chances of escaping would be much greater.
After leaving Green Cloud City, Su Zimo arrived at an uninhabited forest. Dissipating his appearance as Prince Yuan Zuo, he removed his eye-catching carriage and fled with Feng Ziyi.
Actually, if Su Zimo was separated from Feng Ziyi, with the help of the Trinity Auspicious Jade, he could transform into any form he wanted and Prince Yuan Zuo would almost never be able to find him.
The Trinity Auspicious Jadeâs ability looked similar to the supreme divine power, Myriad Transformations.
However, in reality, in a certain aspect, the Trinity Auspicious Jade even surpassed Myriad Transformations!
Myriad Transformations was a supreme divine power. As long as it was released, it would consume oneâs Essence Spirit.
This meant that one would have to expend their Essence Spirit to maintain their conjured form.
No matter how condensed and pure oneâs Essence Spirit was, it could not last long.
However, he would not have such considerations if he made use of the Trinity Auspicious Jade.
As long as the Green Lotus Essence Spirit wielded the Trinity Auspicious Jade, he could transform into another appearance without expending any energy.
The reason why Su Zimo did not separate from Feng Ziyi was mainly because the latter was still severely injured.
If he were to abandon Feng Ziyi now, she would most likely be doomed once they were exposed.
â¦
The night passed and day broke.
A young and handsome man arrived outside Green Cloud City with a dark expression. He ignored the guards in the city and charged towards the princeâs residence!
âPrince Yuan Zuo?â
âStrange, why didnât Your Highness return in a carriage?â
When the guards saw who it was, they found it strange but did not dare to stop him.
âYour Highness, did something happen?â
A commander of Green Cloud City hurried forward and asked in a deep voice.
âScram!â
Prince Yuan Zuo was in a fit of anger and wanted to return to the residence right away to detain Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi and torture them.
He was naturally upset when he saw someone blocking him. With a wave of his robes, he struck the commanderâs heart protecting mirror!
Crack!
The heart protecting mirror shattered.
The commander was sent flying far away and fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his expression changed!
âEnemy attack! Enemy attack!â
Enduring the pain, the commander got up and shouted sternly, âStop him!â
Thereafter, the commander took out a warning talisman from his storage bag and tore it apart.
The warning talisman exploded above Green Cloud City, causing the city to tremble as countless guards flew over!
The surrounding guards gathered rapidly and blocked in front of Prince Yuan Zuo.
âHow dare you stop me?â
Prince Yuan Zuo was already furious after his clone was destroyed. Now that the city guards dared to stop him, he revealed a shuddering killing intent!
Many guards were a little afraid of Prince Yuan Zuoâs gaze.
Everyone was still at a loss.
A guard could not help but ask, âCommander Yuan, whatâs going on? Why do you want us to stop His Highness Yuan Zuo? Thisâ¦â
âHmph!â
Commander Yuan glared at Prince Yuan Zuo and sneered, âHeâs not His Highness at all. Heâs a fake!â
âAh!â
The surroundings were in an uproar.
âWhy do you say that, Commander Yuan? How could this beâ¦â
The guards were even more puzzled.
Commander Yuan said in a deep voice, âAs the commander of Green Cloud City, Iâm a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal. Our Highness is only a Grade 7 Earth Immortal!â
âHow can he injure me just by waving his sleeves?!â
âThe power he released earlier on was clearly the power of a top-tier Heaven Immortal expert!â
The expressions of the guards changed gradually.
