Chapter 293 The True And False Prince
Chapter 293 The True And False Prince
Chapter 293: True and False Crown Prince
In the secret room, Dongfang Changqing hurriedly returned.
At the end of the secret passage was a shocking secret that he hadn't anticipated. Once the things here were exposed, the entire Western State would be shaken.
And at this moment, Dongfang Changqing suddenly realized that even with Chengguang protecting him, he might not be safe.
If Long Yi knew that he had discovered the underground secret, he would definitely kill him at all costs, and his identity as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace would not save him.
However, besides fear, Dongfang Changqing also felt an indescribable excitement and joy.
This was the pleasure that came after seeking excitement. If excitement didn't make people excited, there wouldn't be so many daredevils.
Dongfang Changqing's rationality had not completely disappeared. He knew that he was in a dangerous situation, and at this moment, he was using all his True Qi to run wildly, wishing he had a few more legs.
However, just as he was about to escape, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
Two of them?
Dongfang Changqing was only puzzled for a moment before the appearance of the two people in front of him became clear in his eyes.
It was none other than Chengguang and Long Yi.
Long Yi had a gentle smile on his face, with one hand resting on Chengguang's neck, lifting him up. Chengguang's eyes were empty, clearly not like a living person.
Meeting face to face on a narrow road, Dongfang Changqing didn't even have a place to hide. Seeing Chengguang in such a predicament, Dongfang Changqing felt a wave of sadness in his heart.
He began to regret. If Chengguang died, did he still have a way out?
As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, he originally had a very bright future. It was only a matter of time before he broke through Dao Integration and became the ruler of a region.
Why did he have to recklessly venture into such a dangerous place like the Dragon Transformation Palace?
He didn't expect that such danger was hidden in such a small Dragon Transformation Palace.
But at this point, regret had lost its meaning. Since Long Yi had already blocked his way, he naturally wouldn't let him go.
Strangely enough, Dongfang Changqing was in a panic before seeing Long Yi, but after seeing him, he became calm.
Perhaps knowing that he had no chance of survival, after giving up struggling, his mind became clear.
He knew he couldn't survive, so he could only think about what would happen after his death.
After he died, the Eastern Palace would definitely investigate the cause of his death. At that time, the spies from the Eastern Palace would pass on the information they had gathered from the Dragon Transformation Palace. The Eastern Palace would naturally seek revenge for him.
However, he had to protect these spies. If Long Yi found out about the spies he had contacted and killed them before the Eastern Palace could react, it would be as if he had died in vain.
For now, he could only destroy his Divine Soul to preserve this important information.
But destroying his Divine Soul also required time. He had to delay.
"I came here to investigate, and there are other informants. If you want to kill me, the Eastern Palace will not let it go easily. How about you let me go? I swear I won't leak a single bit of what I have seen and heard."
While speaking, Dongfang Changqing secretly activated the Divine Ability Flower.
In order not to alarm Long Yi, he needed more time to destroy his Divine Soul.
Long Yi paid no attention to Dongfang Changqing's words.
"I killed all the informants. Then no one will know, right?"
As he spoke, Long Yi raised his hand and captured Dongfang Changqing. With just a pinch, he could easily kill him and then use Soul Searching Technique.
Dongfang Changqing was prepared for this, so he also revealed the most important information to delay time.
"What if your son-in-law is also an informant? Are you willing to kill him?"
Dongfang Changqing's real hope was in his spies, not Zhang Chi. At this moment, he had no hesitation in betraying Zhang Chi.
In his eyes, Zhang Chi was just a tool.
Just use Zhang Chi to slightly divide Long Yi's heart, that's enough.
Long Yi hesitated for a moment, but still snapped Dongfang Changqing's neck.
However, in this race against time, a moment of hesitation was enough for Dongfang Changqing to explode the Divine Ability Flower.
With the explosion of the Divine Ability Flower, his Divine Soul also exploded.
Since his soul has scattered, there is no possibility of soul searching.
Long Yi silently looked at the lifeless Dongfang Changqing and casually threw him on the ground.
Dongfang Changqing still had some decisiveness. Although he was young, he could be considered brave and resourceful, but he was too bold and underestimated him.
If he can't handle such a small matter well, how can he handle bigger things?
That night, an unexpected guest arrived in Zhang Chi's room.
"Your Highness?"
Zhang Chi was surprised to see Dongfang Changqing.
"Dongfang Changqing" still had a kind smile and said, "I apologize for the late visit. I was just anxious to know what you have found out."
"Ah."
Zhang Chi sighed deeply and said, "Although what Your Highness said that day makes sense, when I talked to Senior Long, I didn't feel like he was someone who would play conspiracies behind the scenes.
If Sea Monster were to attack, the Dragon Transformation Palace would be the first target. Considering Senior Long's concern for the Dragon Transformation Palace, he wouldn't take such a risk.
Perhaps there are other forces at play, framing the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave and making Your Highness suspect Senior Long."
Zhang Chi's explanation made "Dongfang Changqing" understand the cause and effect.
It turned out that Dongfang Changqing suspected that Miao Renlong was framed. After investigating, he ended up suspecting him and even persuaded Zhang Chi to help with the investigation.
However, although Zhang Chi was convinced by him, he was not completely at the mercy of Dongfang Changqing. He had his own thoughts.
Dongfang Changqing clearly didn't care much about Zhang Chi. He was obviously deliberately disgusting him.
The person he really wanted to protect should be someone else.
In this way, Zhang Chi was actually innocent and should not be deeply involved with Dongfang Changqing.
"I understand your thoughts. Continue your investigation. After I negotiate with the Sea Clan tomorrow, try to buy more time and then make a decision."
After saying that, "Dongfang Changqing" quietly left. There was no sense of violation in this process, but Zhang Chi knew at first glance that the person was not Dongfang Changqing.
The reason was simple, he had an insider.
Gu Youyou may not be very intelligent, but she had strong power.
She could tell at a glance that Dongfang Changqing was a fake because his aura was completely different from the real Dongfang Changqing.
With the information she provided, Zhang Chi quickly analyzed who the current Dongfang Changqing was. So after the other party asked questions, he let the other party know the general situation in a reasonable way.
Seeing "Dongfang Changqing" leave, Zhang Chi finally felt relieved.
His involvement with Dongfang Changqing was not deep, so he just needed to clear himself.
It's just that Dongfang Changqing was too disappointing. He seemed very powerful, but disappeared after only a few days.
Even the fake Dongfang Changqing appeared, indicating that the real Dongfang Changqing was probably gone.
Zhang Chi knew this in his heart, and his vigilance towards Long Yi increased by another level.
He didn't know what Dongfang Changqing had discovered.
Zhang Chi was curious, but he didn't dare to be curious.
Let's wait first. After Gu Youyou retrieves her original body, he shouldn't need to fear Long Yi anymore...
