At the foot of Mount Luolei, a carriage was leaving quietly.

The lady in red was still holding the large and burly body close to her as she watched the carriage leave with indifferent eyes. The charming lady in purple also frowned, her face giving off a murderous air.

"Changli died at the hands of a Lei Clan disciple. I’d say the best revenge for him is to kill the entire Lei Clan." A voice with a bit of chill sounded behind them. In a black robe with a silver mask, the Patriarch of the Hidden River stood behind them. He stepped forward and placed an arm on each of their shoulders.

Tears finally slipped down Su Hongxi's cheeks, and Su Ziyi's shoulders began to tremble.

"An assassin shouldn’t cry for the death of their comrade. Changli killed hundreds of people in his life, but he can only die once. No matter how you count, he made a profit." The Patriarch patted their shoulders gently. "Don't cry. Let’s bury Su Changli here."

But Su Hongxi and Su Ziyi still couldn't stop their tears. Su Hongxi choked up and said, "I want to bring Changli back to Hidden River."

"There is a dead river below Mount Luolei. You throw Changli into the river. The river will take him home. Even if his body cannot return to the Hidden River, his soul will find his way home," The Patriarch said solemnly.

"We must avenge him," Su Ziyi said viciously and wiped away her tears.

"That's good. Then, exterminate the Lei Clan, exterminate Snow Moon City, exterminate the entire Heavenly Revelations City. We kill until only our Su House remains under Heaven." The Patriarch retracted his hands, his eyes cold as ice.

Su Hongxi and Su Ziyi stopped crying, and their faces revealed a little surprise.

"You’ve only heard that I’m the Patriarch, but I, the Patriarch, was from a family of three brothers. My surname is Su, my real name is Su Changhe and I am Changli's older brother." The Patriarch turned around and started walking uphill. His voice remained mostly unemotional. "So my anger is much deeper than yours."

"Therefore, let the fire of Hidden River’s wrath burn down all of Beili."

Within the carriage that was leaving, Xiao Chong and Xiao Jingxia sat opposite each other, while Xuan Tong sat silently to one side. His hand was stretched out of the window and a courier pigeon flew in from a distance and landed on his hand.

"Jingxia, you took too much of a risk this time." Xiao Chong finally spoke, but his tone was still gentle.

"Huang-xiong." Xiao Jingxian lowered his head sullenly. "Jingxia was impulsive. Please forgive me, huang-xiong."

Xiao Chong shook his head. "I don't blame you only because I know that you’re helping me ascend to the throne. But what I hope is that the day I ascend to the throne, you will stand by my side. When that time comes, I will appoint you as Pingtian Prince, so that all under Heaven will extol your name. You will be the greatest Prince in Beili since the founding of the country, on the same level as Heaven, shoulder to shoulder with me!"

Xiao Jingxia raised his head and looked at Xiao Chong with burning eyes. Although Xiao Chong's eyes were wrapped behind a thick blindfold, at that moment, he could feel his brother looking at him solemnly.

"Jingxia will definitely live up to the expectations of huang-xiong," Xiao Jingxia said solemnly.

Xiao Chong smiled and said, "We’re brothers, Jingxia, you don't always have to be so serious."

Xiao Jingxia scratched his head. "Huang-xiong, it's not that Jingxia is serious, but because huang-xiong always speaks so seriously."

Xiao Chong chuckled and asked Xuan Tong next to him, "Xuan Tong, what is written in the letter?" Xuan Tong had only just finished reading the note and was about to put it away. Although Xiao Chong was blind, he seemed able to see all his movements and asked the question at that exact moment.

Xuan Tong replied hurriedly, "His Majesty's visit to the Western Regions is over, and has begun the journey home. We have to get on the road immediately, and we must rush back to Heavenly Revelations before His Majesty.

"This time, while His Majesty was visiting the West, Lanyue Marquis stood in as Regent. In the entire Heavenly Revelations, besides me who had been pretending to be ill and stayed indoors, have the other princes made any moves?" Xiao Chong asked.

"No, the princes who were supposed to attend court have been attending court as usual, the ones who drink were drinking as usual, and the ones who hunt were hunting as usual. Except for the Red Prince Xiao Yu, who also claimed to be ill and stayed indoors. He has not been seen for more than a month," Xuan Tong replied.

"Red Prince Xiao Yu? That Prince of poetry and wine? He spends his days drinking and playing. I think he is probably sick for real." Xiao Jingxia sneered disdainfully.

"Jingxia, don't underestimate the Red Prince." Xiao Chong shook his head.

"Why? Among the princes, even though you’re the only two who have been appointed Princes, but huang-xiong, you relied on your own talents, and what did Xiao Yu rely on? Isn’t it because his mother is favored by our Father, the Emperor? But, that woman of unknown origin and that Prince of poetry and wine, have they ever been respected by anyone in Heavenly Revelations City?" Xiao Jingxian said with a frown.

"Certain things cannot be seen only on the surface. The Red Prince Xiao Yu is a very terrible enemy," Xiao Chong said solemnly. "And you made a mistake in what you said earlier. The princes who have been appointed Princes are not just the two of us. You forgot the most important one."

"Yong’an Prince." Xiao Jingxia was startled. "But we’ve already told Hidden River his identity. Huang-xiong, do you think Hidden River will kill him? Or do they have other plans?"

"No. He and the youth from Lei Clan were together when they killed someone from the Hidden River Su House. That vengeance has already been set. Hidden River is indeed an organization that prioritises profit, but some things cannot be compromised. After all, those things are the key to uniting the entire Hidden River. The Patriarch has motivated their hearts to kill, this I can confirm." Xiao Chong gently tapped the chair with his hand.

"The Patriarch, that man…" Xiao Jingxia felt a sudden chill down his back.

"A terrifying man." Xiao Chong sighed. "I don't know if it was a blessing or misfortune to make an alliance with such a devil. By the way, Xuan Tong, is there any news from shifu?"

"Senior Wrath Sword Immortal was supposed to go to Tang Clan to meet Grandmaster Tang, but the news we received from Tang Clan was that Senior Wrath Sword Immortal did not attend the meeting as scheduled, and his whereabouts are still unknown," Xuan Tong replied.

Xiao Chong shook his head helplessly. "Da-shifu is always doing whatever he wants. Nevermind. If he takes action, everything will certainly be flawless, but without him there, having Tang Clan and Hidden River join forces, and with this unexpected surprise, things should still go somewhat smoothly. After this great duel on the mountain is over, the three citymasters of Snow Moon City… one is missing, one is dead, and only one is left. The chess piece in Unrivaled City can begin to move."

"Can they really kill the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?" Xiao Jingxia asked.

"The three elders of Tang Clan, two Hidden River Heads of Houses, with the addition of that devil-like Patriarch. Even if she’s the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, I’m afraid she doesn’t even have half a chance of survival, unless a god appears to save her." Xiao Chong exhaled, and said solemnly all of a sudden, "Xuan Tong, we must hurry back to Heavenly Revelations now! We travel without stopping, and return seven days before His Majesty!"

"Why?" Xiao Jingxia was puzzled.

"You must never think that you can grasp the whereabouts of our Father, the Emperor. He is far more acute than we think. When the time comes, he will suddenly arrive at Heavenly Revelations. He won’t be waiting for us. He must know that when he’s not in Heavenly Revelations, the entire city and the country are still under his control!" Xiao Chong said in a clear voice. "Return to Heavenly Revelations. As for the affairs of the martial world, leave them to the martial world people to settle!"
