”Congratulations to user! For participating in the War of the Princes, the True Dragon Plan, and changing Fifth Prince Li Heng's fate, you are awarded 15 Destiny Energy!”
As Wang Chong walked out of the Imperial Palace in the darkness and the large gate shut behind him, he heard a voice ringing out in his mind. Along with this voice, he felt a gentle breeze, and an invisible energy emerged from the depths of space-time and into Wang Chong's body.
Wang Chong felt a warmth in his body.
”I've finally succeeded!”
Wang Chong's lips curved into a faint smile. He knew that his final letter had proved effective.
When dealing with the Tibetan experts in the practice ground, Wang Chong had already obtained 15 points of Destiny Energy. Now, with his harvests from Consort Taizhen, Wang Chong had gained 30 points of Destiny Energy in just one day.
At present, Wang Chong had currently accumulated 109 points of Destiny Energy!
And if one counted the Destiny Energy he had used to buy the Panther Bone, the Gold Organs, and the Blood Reformation for Li Heng, as well as the Destiny Energy consumed by the World Constraints, Wang Chong had so far obtained more than 200 points of Destiny Energy.
And to Wang Chong, that he had obtained 200 points of Destiny Energy at this point had a completely new meaning…
”…I can finally exchange for Origin Energy items!”
Wang Chong walked the stone-paved street and gave a long sigh of relief.
The rewards offered by the Stone of Destiny could be divided into 'Mind', 'Body', 'Energy', 'Techniques', and 'Power'. However, because he had not accumulated enough Destiny Energy, Wang Chong had only been able to exchange for rewards of the 'Body' category, like the Panther Bone, Gold Organs, and Blood Reformation.
If he wanted to increase his Origin Energy, Wang Chong could only buy the medicines of the imperial household. But things were different now that he had unlocked the 'Origin Energy' category.
Wang Chong could now use Destiny Energy to buy Origin Energy items that could increase his strength.
Thus, Wang Chong's strength would increase at an even faster rate.
”…Young Master!”
Footsteps came from the darkness, breaking Wang Chong's train of thought. Old Eagle, with a large bird on his shoulder, was striding toward him.
”How was it?”
”It's fine.”
Wang Chong smiled and signaled that everything had gone well. With things taken care of on Consort Taizhen's side, the Fifth Prince would be able to sleep soundly.
Although he couldn't be said to be absolutely safe, with Consort Taizhen's protection, at least everyone would have to think twice before they acted. Even the First Prince and the Third Prince would not dare to act recklessly.
”Come, let's return to the training camp!”
Taking the reins from the Wang Clan guards following Old Eagle, Wang Chong mounted his horse. Everything was on the right path, and the Fifth Prince was also on his own path to fight for the throne. It was now time for his own plans.
With the Deflecting Blade Manor at its current level of development, it was time to proceed to the next phase of his plan.
”…But what I wonder how Dusong Mangpoje is doing?”
As he gazed at the dark sky and the numerous lights of the city, Wang Chong recalled that Ü-Tsang Great General who had traveled to the Great Tang incognito, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This famous Ü-Tsang Great General was indubitably an existence that was a great thorn in the Great Tang's side. He was not only extremely strong, but also equally intelligent. Thus, even someone like Geshu Han, one of the Great Tang's heroes who guarded the Ü-Tsang border, was completely incapable of capturing him.
However, with his identity being exposed in the capital, he was probably not about to encounter any good fortune.
”Run, run! Let me see how lucky you are!”
Wang Chong smiled and then urged his horse in the direction of Deflecting Blade Manor.
……
Dust spluttered under the hard hooves of a horse. While Wang Chong was riding toward Deflecting Blade Manor, in the darkness sixty-some li from the Great Tang capital, a squadron of Ü-Tsang cavalry were galloping toward the Tibetan Plateau.
After Wang Chong exposed Dusong Mangpoje's identity on the practice ground, the Ü-Tsang delegation did not even return to their hostel. They immediately left the capital of the Great Tang, fleeing under the starry night toward the Tibetan Plateau.
”Faster! The Great Tang is no longer safe. Only once we return to the plateau of the empire will we be completely out of danger!”
On his horse, Dusong Mangpoje constantly urged his soldiers on, his expression grave.
An Ü-Tsang officer raised his head and asked, ”Great General, might we be overthinking things? Perhaps the Great Tang has no intention of dealing with us? After all, we're already sixty-some li from the Great Tang capital and nothing has happened!” A tiny sliver of hope was audible in his words.
Ever since they had left the practice ground, Great General Dusong Mangpoje had been urging them on. They were not doubting the Great General's judgment and reputation. It was just that they had not encountered anything on their entire journey.
Other than their own doubts, the only thing by their side was the wind howling through the mountains.
It seemed that they were doing nothing but frightening themselves.
”In the past that would be the case, but now is completely different! I also hope that I'm being paranoid, but that's impossible,” Dusong Mangpoje sternly replied. Ever since he had left the capital, someone had been locked onto him from a distance, constantly observing and trailing him.
This feeling had disappeared a moment ago, but Dusong Mangpoje did not dare get careless.
