Chapter 1170 – You've Lost

The Prince of Xiang died, but Cao Yunping had already fled and was now ten-some li away by the shore of the Luo River.
Even from such a distance, the people in the palace could still hear his voice trembling in fear as it repeated, ”Your Majesty, spare my life!”
Eunuch Lin's face was pale.
Tonight was the sole stain on his life.
But he was still Eunuch Lin, and he knew what the words 'moral integrity' meant. He could not be as shameless as Cao Yunping and grovel on the floor to plead for his life.
He turned his palm and slapped it down to the top of his head, at the same time reversing the flow of his true essence as he prepared to finish himself off. He acted with extreme determination, leaving himself no chance of survival.
But his palm stopped at the top of his head, and his true essence seemed to freeze in his meridians, unable to surge into his Ethereal Palace.
”Leave. Don't come back to the palace. This… is not that good of a place.”
Yuren said to him.
Eunuch Lin froze.
For Emperor Xian's sake, he had spent the majority of his life in the Imperial Palace.
Even after he was driven back to his old home by the Tianhai Divine Empress, he would spend every day thinking about his life in the palace.
No one had ever told him to not come back, not even if it was for morality and justice, reluctance, or any other reason.
And no one had ever told him that it was not a good place.
Eunuch Lin left the Imperial Palace, somewhat dejected. One could even say he was deprived of his soul.
No one cared about his departure. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yuren.
No one had expected the emperor to possess such an unfathomable cultivation.
The sun had vanished, and the night clouds were driven by the autumn winds into once more shrouding the capital, blocking out the countless stars.
Yuren gazed at a certain place in the clouds. Upon confirming that the White Emperor had left, he looked to the north, concern visible on his face.
……
……
Xuelao City, the Demon Palace.
Chen Changsheng answered the Demon Lord's question in a forthright manner. ”Master and I are not worried about the capital because Senior is there.”
The Demon Lord sneered, ”Did you think that you could trick me? When you left Xining Village, you hadn't even started to cultivate, and he probably hadn't either. Afterward, there was a limit to the number of times the two of you could meet. I am confident that he never once displayed his abilities in front of you.”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Yes, even now, no one has ever seen Senior display his abilities.”
The Demon Lord asked, ”Then how can you determine his strength? And don't give me some nonsense like 'He's my senior brother'.”
Chen Changsheng said, ”I also only understood later on.”
”Understood what?”
Chen Changsheng explained, ”Why Senior came out of the shrubs on the night the Tianhai Divine Empress died.”
The Demon Lord's expression turned stern as he asked, ”What do you want to say?”
Chen Changsheng continued, ”He followed Master to the Mausoleum of Books during the day, which meant that he only needed one day to finish viewing all the Heavenly Tome Monoliths.”
The Demon Lord's pupils constricted as he declared, ”Preposterous! You think he couldn't have had any other ways?”
