Chapter 1980: Chapter 713 - 710: First Battle Ends in Tragic Defeat, Secret Realm Token_1

Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows furrowed: “Where is the Third Imperial Princess?”

The Little Kingfisher sneered: “Hiding in Yan City’s government office, she does not dare to come out.”

“Commander Xu, where are your troops?”

Lin Qingluo felt a sense of unease.

“They are concealed in the grasslands and along the border.”

The Little Kingfisher replied honestly: “They haven’t had a chance to get close to Chen Xun and the Second Imperial Princess.”

Lin Qingluo asked dejectedly: “How many people did the Imperial Court send out?”

“The experts of the Supervision Department and the Department of Justice have all been mobilized.”

The intelligence from Little Kingfisher was very accurate: “Including the undercover spies monitoring him surreptitiously, there are over a hundred individuals.”

“With the skill of a hundred men, they should be enough theoretically.”@@novelbin@@

Lin Qingluo felt somewhat relieved: “What movements are there from Chen Xun? Any abnormalities with the Northwestern army?”

“None at the moment.”

The Little Kingfisher saw clearly: “Chen Xun is a cunning fox; if he wants to claim sovereignty, he won’t easily diminish his own army.”

“Humph!”

Lin Qingluo was filled with anger: “Such people, for their own personal gain, disregard the safety of the border populace. They will ultimately face ruin and condemnation from the world.”

“Master, with just the Imperial Court’s people, assassinating Chen Xun and capturing the Second Imperial Princess will be no simple task.”

Little Kingfisher, with its spinning eyes, once again hinted at the idea of heading to the Northwestern grasslands to encourage its master.

“If the main culprits aren’t eliminated, the Northwestern war will continue; the migrating populace is suffering beyond words.”

“Noble Lord has inferred that the Third Imperial Princess’s military campaign must hold deeper implications.”

Having a keen mind, Lin Qingluo caught the hidden meaning in its words and hastily interrupted: “Let’s wait for a while, and see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.”

“Hmm.”

Little Kingfisher speculated in secret: “They probably want to get rid of both the Second and Third Imperial Princesses in one fell swoop, hoping that neither of them would return from the Northwest alive.”

“That’s possible.”

Lin Qingluo agreed in his heart: “The grudges formed at the Imperial Palace Night Banquet shall have an inevitable end eventually.”

“Master, the Third Imperial Princess also owes us justice.”

With its mischievous eyes, the Little Kingfisher asked brightly: “You said you wanted to seek justice for the Little Prince. When will we take action?”

“Heh, you indeed.”

Lin Qingluo laughed: “You are relentless, always circling back to the same point.”

“With two thousand guards protecting the Third Imperial Princess, even Noble Lord would find it difficult to assassinate her.”

The Little Kingfisher didn’t deny its cunning thinking: “If she somehow survives and returns to Capital City, we won’t easily get such a good chance to kill her again.”

“Did you find out about the Secret Realm?”

Unwilling to dwell further on the topic, Lin Qingluo changed the subject abruptly.

“Almost.”

Mentioning the Secret Realm, the Little Kingfisher’s spirit immediately perked up; it forgot all about the Third Imperial Princess in an instant.

“Medicine King Valley has provided information on two Secret Realms, one in the Western Region Wildlands, and the other in the southern frontier.”

“Both Secret Realms have a specified opening time, and the number of people who can enter each time is limited. Only those who have acquired a Pass Token have the chance to enter.”

Lin Qingluo asked with a slight frown: “Where can we get the Pass Token?”

“According to the information obtained by our avian network, the Pavilion Master of Wind and Moon Pavilion has one.”

The Little Kingfisher confidently said: “Each time the Secret Realm opens, disciples from the Wind and Moon Pavilion participate. They are in charge of recording the occurrences inside the Secret Realm and compiling them into the Immortal Sect’s Hidden Dragon Ranking.”

“All sect disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are the best of the past centuries. Those ranked among the top ten are all exceptional talents, with limitless potential accomplishments in the future.”
