After being summoned to this world, Ye Gouyang studied all the forces in the Eastern Region and their connections with Song Yang or Consort Sun Yunling. For this reason, he hesitated upon hearing Liang Huo's name
"No matter who it is, if they show murderous intent towards the Shura Palace, even if it's her father, you must not hesitate!"
Upon hearing what Ye Gouyang said, Song Yang reprimanded him coldly.
"Yes, Palace Master."
As soon as he finished speaking respectfully, Ye Gouyang vanished from the location.
After Ye Gouyang left, Song Yang turned his attention to his death space, which was filled with energy ready to be absorbed, and sat down cross-legged.
After all, aside from the corpses that continuously arrive through the Shura Palace and the Saint King's body acquired from Fang Yu, he had barely absorbed even a tenth of the energy from He Xianglan's corpse.
...
Several days had passed since the auction, and the city of Beiyang had finally calmed down after all the commotion caused by the sacred technique and Song Yang's presence.
Of course, it is still possible to hear about Song Yang's deeds on the streets, but since the auction, he has not been seen, and discussions about him have considerably decreased.
But today... the city of Beiyang is buzzing once again, with countless people focused on a single topic.
In fact, it's not just the city of Beiyang; the entire Zhenfang Dynasty is abuzz with discussions about this matter.
Within a room in the Eighth Prince's mansion, Song Yang, who was cultivating, felt the agitation in the city through his divine sense. He couldn't help but open his eyes and show a faint smile.
"The opportunity has finally arrived."
He had never forgotten the real reason he came to the city of Beiyang using the original body's identity: to incite a war in the Eastern Region!
And now, the opportunity had finally appeared.
"It seems I won't need to go to the capital."
Song Yang smiled as he looked at the imperial decree summoning him to return secretly to the capital.
It was likely that the father of the original body wanted to see him because of the troubles he had caused, such as the death of the governor and, most importantly, the president of the Formation Masters Association.
If this opportunity hadn't arisen, Song Yang believes he truly wouldn't have been able to go to the capital and bow to Song Tianyun, even superficially
But after today, there is no longer any need for him to continue using the original body's identity.
"Did you hear? Her Highness, the Tenth Princess, is going to marry the Third Prince of the Yushan Dynasty!"
"Is that true? I've never heard of a marriage between the Five Dynasties before."
"Yes, it's probably because of the rise of the Eighth Prince. After all, he is the greatest genius in the Eastern Region. The Yushan Dynasty must want to strengthen ties with our Zhenfang Dynasty."
"I don't think it's that simple. There are rumors that the current Emperor of the Yifang Dynasty has broken through to the Saint King Realm."
"Really? Does this mean the Yifang Dynasty now has two Saint Kings?"
"Yes, the balance among the Five Dynasties is shifting. First, the Bihai Dynasty is in great crisis due to internal conflicts; then, our Zhenfang Dynasty has a peerless genius and a princess who is about to marry into the Yushan Dynasty; and now, the Yifang Dynasty has produced a second Saint King."
"Among the Five Dynasties, the only one that hasn't undergone significant changes is the Fengyun Dynasty."
"But, speaking of the marriage, do you know the reputation of the Third Prince of the Yushan Dynasty?"
As soon as this was mentioned, a deep silence followed.
After all, the reputation of the Third Prince of the Yushan Dynasty is not good; it is widely known in the Eastern Region.
It is said that he is a womanizer, always drunk and frequenting brothels. There are even reports that he forced dozens of girls to become his concubines, who were then mysteriously murdered.
However, the heavens might be blind, because despite this, the Third Prince possesses monstrous talent.
His cultivation realm is a mystery, but he has already managed to kill a peak-stage Soul Formation cultivator with a single move!
Ling Family Mansion
As one of the leading families in Yongchang Province, the Ling Family is indeed a powerhouse. However, at this moment, the main hall is in complete silence.
The reason for this is that it is the third time they have requested an audience with His Highness, the Eighth Prince, and have been refused once again.
"Father, I really don't understand why you insist on supporting the Eighth Prince."
"This is like poking a nest of vipers. Although he is the greatest genius in the Eastern Region today, he is very arrogant and has already attracted the attention of many dynasties who probably do not want to see him grow."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man who was in the main hall spoke to the old man in the patriarch's chair, clearly irritated by the fact that Song Yang hadn't even bothered to see them.
It should be noted that in Yongchang Province, the Ling Family holds immense power and has never been so neglected by anyone, as it was by the Eighth Prince this time
"Suo'er, you need to learn to think long-term."
"This Eighth Prince is extremely mysterious. He has managed to conceal his talents from the entire dynasty all this time. Do you think someone with such a mind is so simple?"
"Moreover, it's not just our Ling Family that he has refused to see; none of the major families have been able to get an audience with His Highness."
The old patriarch of the Ling Family, who was sitting in the chair, reprimanded him.
But then, a voice resonated throughout the city, carrying a tremendous killing intent, and the patriarch's face changed, as if he had been slapped.
"A prince with such a reputation dares to want to marry my younger sister?"
