Chapter 619 - 367 This Person is Actually the North Prince!_1
Hearing the commotion outside, the Master of Divine Communication immediately rose to his feet. With a lift of his hand, a large saber by the table flew into his grasp, "Alright, now that the fish has bitten the hook, let’s make our move. Once the North Prince is dead, the Sum Emperor should have no obstacles left in becoming a Celestial."
The Eternally Mysterious Taoist spoke, "I will take people to the new city immediately. Master of Divine Communication, I’ll leave this place in your hands."
The Master of Divine Communication replied, "Stop with the motherly concern and hurry up and kill the North Prince."
The Eternally Mysterious Taoist didn’t waste any more words. He promptly left the tavern and, taking his disciples, exited through the North City gates and headed straight for the new city.
Before long, the tavern where the Master of Divine Communication was located became surrounded by the soldiers of the North Country, but by this time, the Eternally Mysterious Taoist had already taken some disciples towards the new city.
As soon as Zhuge Zhongguang surrounded the tavern, he immediately waved his hand and commanded, "Prepare to attack!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the artillery and mortars of the soldiers were aimed at the tavern.
At this moment, the voice of the Master of Divine Communication came from inside the tavern. He laughed loudly, "The ways of the world are truly unpredictable, a Literature Saint has actually become the North Prince’s dog."
Hearing this, Zhuge Zhongguang didn’t get angry. Stroking his beard, he said with a smile, "Visitors are guests, why don’t the two inside come out and meet us?"
Zhuge Zhongguang had already guessed that the other person might have left the old city for the new city, intending to assassinate the North Prince, but he wasn’t worried about the situation there in the slightest.
He also realized that the Master of Divine Communication intended to stall for time, so let him stall. Zhuge Zhongguang actually hoped the people inside could delay a little longer.
Zhuge Zhongguang was a scholar. Although he had entered into Dao through literature, his strength might still fall short when compared to a martial artist, and he wasn’t sure he could defeat the Pseudo Celestial inside.
It would be best to wait for the matter with Lu Chen to conclude, and then have Xuanyuan Chaoge, a Celestial, come over.
After hearing Zhuge Zhongguang’s words, the Master of Divine Communication laughed even harder, "If the Literature Saint truly considers us guests, why would he bring so many soldiers to completely surround our tavern?"
Zhuge Zhongguang replied, "The two inside, the North Prince has been informed of your arrival in the North Country, and has specifically asked me to invite you to the North Prince Mansion. Could it be that the two of you won’t even grant the North Prince this courtesy?"

The Master of Divine Communication disdainfully said, "He’s but a mere child with a gilded mouth. What qualifications does he have for us to give him any face?"
Seeing Zhuge Zhongguang and the Master of Divine Communication engaging in a war of words, Liang Zong, who was beside Zhuge, couldn’t help but say, "Great Scholar, are we not going to take action?"
To suppress the assassins from Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain, they had even launched the heavy weaponry like artillery, with cannonballs already loaded, yet Zhuge Zhongguang was engaging in a war of words with their enemy instead.
Liang Zong felt that talking to those inside was purely a waste of time.
Zhuge Zhongguang said indifferently, "No need to rush, let’s wait for Xuanyuan, our senior, to come first."
Upon hearing Zhuge Zhongguang’s words, Liang Zong was taken aback for a moment, but he instantly understood Zhuge’s intention. After that, Zhuge Zhongguang continued to verbally spar with the Master of Divine Communication inside the tavern.
Meanwhile.
The Eternally Mysterious Taoist, leading the disciples of Fixed Wind Mountain, soon reached the new city. However, just as they arrived in a forest far outside the city gates, the sound of horse hooves reached their ears.
The Eternally Mysterious Taoist instantly realized something was amiss, but it was already too late. In no time at all, countless soldiers wielding torches had surrounded them.
Seeing this scene, the Eternally Mysterious Taoist’s brow furrowed as he immediately understood the situation.
Apparently, the North Prince had long been aware of their diversionary tactic.
But...
Did that matter?
No, it didn’t!
The North Country had only one Pseudo Celestial, Zhuge Zhongguang.
Zhuge Zhongguang could only deal with one location at a time. If Zhuge Zhongguang was here, then the battle in the old city would end quickly, and then the Master of Divine Communication would swiftly lead the disciples from Four Directions Mountain to support them.
And if Zhuge Zhongguang went to the old city, then the new city would be without a Pseudo Celestial to preside over it. Just relying on these soldiers, they wouldn’t be able to stop their advance.
Thinking this, the Eternally Mysterious Taoist instantly raised his hand and, with two fingers together, made a spell-casting gesture. The next moment, countless flying leaves in the forest converged.

But just at that moment, a young man wearing a python dragon robe appeared in front of those North Country soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Eternally Mysterious Taoist hesitated for a moment.
Because he sensed that the young man’s strength was comparable to his own, and even the young man’s aura faintly seemed to be surpassing his.
Eternally Mysterious Taoist’s face darkened instantly.
A Pseudo Celestial?
Does North Country actually have more than one Pseudo Celestial!
How is this possible?
They had stayed in the old city for so long just to gather clear intelligence on North Country, and after their investigations over this period, they had confirmed that Zhuge Zhongguang was the only Pseudo Celestial there. How could there be another one now?
And this Pseudo Celestial was so young, with a glance, Eternally Mysterious Taoist roughly guessed that the man in front of him was definitely not older than thirty.
What a joke?
A Pseudo Celestial not over thirty years old?
Is there really a martial artist with such terrifying Martial Arts Talent?
All these old foxes had practiced martial arts for decades and had barely entered the Unity Realm to become a Pseudo Celestial, yet someone under thirty had achieved it.
The heavens are too unfair!
At this moment, Eternally Mysterious Taoist was cursing the heavens for their injustice in his heart!
Just then, Eternally Mysterious Taoist asked cautiously, "Who are you? Why has this old man never heard of a martial artist who can enter the Unity Realm before the age of thirty in this world!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "You came to kill me, yet you do not recognize me. I really wonder why my father, the Sum Emperor, would send people like you."
Upon hearing this, Eternally Mysterious Taoist and the disciples from Fixed Wind Mountain immediately became as guarded as if facing a formidable enemy.
North Prince!!!
This person is actually the North Prince!!!
How could the North Prince possess such high Martial Arts Talent!!!
Considering his age, the North Prince seems not to have even reached twenty years old yet!
He has actually entered the Unity Realm! Become a Pseudo Celestial!
Eternally Mysterious Taoist was stunned for a moment; he had not expected that the young man he was facing was actually the target of their mission!
After a while, Eternally Mysterious Taoist finally came back to his senses, thinking to himself.
Although the North Prince possesses such high Martial Arts Talent, his realm has risen too quickly, which could mean that his foundation is unstable, and may not be able to exhibit the strength of a Pseudo Celestial. In which case, he could not possibly be a match for me.
With this thought, Eternally Mysterious Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, he had almost been intimidated by the North Prince.
Eternally Mysterious Taoist then said, "It is unexpected, Your Highness, that you possess such high Martial Arts Talent, but unfortunately, a genius must be alive to be called a genius."
Lu Chen, with a neutral tone, said, "Does that mean, Eternally Mysterious Taoist, that you believe I am bound to die tonight?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen directly stating his name, Eternally Mysterious Taoist was taken aback once again. He knew North Country had an intelligence agency named the Brocade Guard, but he had not expected them to be so capable as to have already learned his name.
In fact, the Brocade Guard had nothing to do with it, for Lu Chen had identified Eternally Mysterious Taoist the moment he saw him with the help of his system.
Now, Eternally Mysterious Taoist did not intend to waste any more words. The leaves around him continued to gather, and then he shouted, "Let this old man test how strong Your Highness really is!"
In the midst of speaking, countless flying leaves rushed towards Lu Chen.
