You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 327: First Grade Female Official 71, Part 2

The next moment, within the residence array, a killing array coalesced into a blazing and dazzling thunderbolt that descended from the sky, engulfing the figure of the purple-clothed lady officer, turning her to ashes in an instant.

Even a Saint could hardly withstand a few strikes from the residence’s killing array, let alone merely a Demon King.

"So Your Highness just killed her like that?" Baili Fengzhi asked in confusion, "Not even trying to interrogate her?"

"No use."

Lin Yue casually replied, "A Great Demon at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier might have a chance for interrogation, but these Demon Kings hiding in the Great Yong all have methods to self-destruct. It would be difficult even for the Fifth Princess to conduct a soul search."

"These Demon Clan members truly spare no cost."

Baili Fengzhi slightly furrowed her brows, "To have the strength to reach the fifth layer in Tianxia Building is quite rare among the Demon Kings, let alone training them as death soldiers. I fear there aren’t many even in the whole Di Hong City, yet the Demon Clan is willing to send them to assassinate Your Highness."

"It doesn’t matter. Unless it’s a top-tier Demon King sacrificing themselves to kill me, they’re no threat to me," Lin Yue said calmly.

"That might be unlikely."

Baili Fengzhi said in astonishment, "The top-tier among the Demon Kings are those who have honed the supreme secret skills to perfection, with hopes of becoming a Demon Saint. It’s questionable if there are any such Demon Kings among the death soldiers, and even if there were, the Demon Clan would likely be reluctant."

The top-tier Demon Kings are stronger than she was at present.

Relying on a physical foundation far surpassing the Human Clan’s, she could easily achieve a five-straight-win streak at the sixth layer in Tianxia Building, without even grasping the Dao’s rudiments.

And the top-tier Demon Kings of the Demon Clan could easily break into the seventh layer of Tianxia Building, or even higher!

But such Demon Kings are future Demon Saints. How could they be trained as death soldiers to assassinate him?

Most princes, even at the pinnacle among Saints, but Demon Saints are also Saints of the Demon Clan.

"The possibility is very small."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "But if the Demon Clan deemed me a significant threat, it’s not impossible."

"Indeed, Your Highness’s potential is remarkable, having uncovered so many Demon Clan undercover agents in Di Hong City these years. If the Demon Clan sees Your Highness as a major threat, they might indeed send such a Demon King for assassination." Baili Fengzhi furrowed her brows.

"There’s no choice. Who told Demon undercover agents to be so valuable?" Lin Yue shrugged, "Even capturing an undercover Great Demon at the Four Symbols level brings significant merit, awarded by the Imperial Family, the Ancestor Hall, and Dawn Platform. How could one resist such offered merit?"

He had specifically chosen this area for his residence because it was originally the home of a minister who colluded with the Demon Clan.

Back in the day, the Duanmu family conspired with the Demon Clan and was executed or exiled accordingly.

However, a Five Rings Level secret he acquired back then allowed him to find communication devices used by Demon Clan operatives in Di Hong City in an underground secret chamber at the former site of the Duanmu residence.

Using these, he captured quite a few Demon Clan operatives, earning him a good deal of merit.

Over the past five years, he had completed all the necessary tests and tasks.

Relying solely on the merit provided by capturing Demon Clan operatives, he could exchange for various cultivation resources repeatedly, allowing him to master seven types of essential essence within five years and create the Perfect Martial Arts True Skill.

Otherwise, it would still take several more years.

His rapid cultivation progress was, in part, thanks to the Demon Clan.

"Your Highness is hated so much by the Demon Clan, stronger defenses must be enhanced."

Baili Fengzhi sighed and said, "If Your Highness could break the Three Talents Heaven Barrier earlier, it would be foolproof."

"Cannot rush."

Lin Yue shook his head, "Once the Three Talents Heaven Barrier is broken, the road ahead cannot be changed. Until I find the truly suitable path, I cannot break through."

He shook his head again, "But actually, as long as I stay within the residence, there’s no worry. Outside the residence, I’ve got a high cultivator protecting me in the shadows."

"High cultivator?" Baili Fengzhi asked in puzzlement, "Who? Does Your Highness have a Great Cultivator stronger than me in the residence?"

"Among the Great Cultivators in the residence, you are indeed the strongest." Lin Yue smiled mysteriously, "Come to my room tonight and I’ll tell you."

"...No need."

Baili Fengzhi found herself speechless, coughed slightly, and said, "It’s good if Your Highness is assured. I need to stand guard for you at night."

Lin Yue couldn’t help but laugh, asking, "Wouldn’t closely guarding be better?"

"...Don’t dare disturb Your Highness’s rest."

Seeing her embarrassment, Lin Yue smiled, not teasing her further. He simply said, "By the way, you haven’t forgotten to send those things to the Green Water Residence every month, right?"

"I deliver them as Your Highness instructed at the start of each month," Baili Fengzhi said, "However, each time I see nobody emerge. Until I leave, those items disappear."

"No problem."

Lin Yue said with a gentle smile, "She’s just not happy, remember not to let anyone bother her."

"Yes." Baili Fengzhi nodded.

"By the way, accompany me to the Imperial Palace."

Lin Yue said, "I haven’t attempted the ’Heart Demon Maze’ trial in five years; I wonder if I can clear it now. If I succeed, I can attempt the wilderness survival test after Ning’er’s birthday."

"Is Your Highness very focused on the wilderness survival test?" Baili Fengzhi asked in confusion, "I’ve never really understood, what’s the point of wilderness survival?"

"This is a grand opportunity." Lin Yue chuckled.

...

Within the palace walls.

The Heart Palace, deep in the Imperial Palace, where the trial named ’Heart Demon Maze’ was personally arranged by the Divine Emperor.

It’s said that passing through the Heart Demon Maze signifies that one’s Dao Heart Will has reached a high standard among Great Cultivators. This is a baseline; on this foundation, if one finds a grand obsession or a great aspiration to anchor the mind, the Dao Heart can bear the path within the heart.
