You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 311 - 65, poke a hole in the sky

Prince Cheng Mansion, Star-picking Platform.

The Twelfth Prince, for once, was not reading a book. Instead, he sat atop the thousand-foot-high Star-picking Platform, facing the night of Di Hong City, his eyes gently closed. He listened quietly to the myriad human voices within the city, feeling the shifts in people's hearts on this special night.

This was his method of cultivation.

The Heart Poison targeted the depths of one's soul, and thus he needed to understand all beings.

"Your Highness."

An emaciated old man appeared behind the Twelfth Prince, speaking with some urgency, "Your Highness, something significant has happened. Marquis Dingyuan just sent word that the bloodline legacy mark he left in his heir's body has dissipated, and the next Marquis Dingyuan is dead. Moreover, the Wind Monarch's wind spirit avatar in the mansion also dissipated just now! It seems they might have been..."

The Twelfth Prince slowly opened his eyes and softly asked, "Did they dissipate simultaneously or separately?"

"Not at the same time."

The old man replied anxiously, "If they dissipated at the same time, it might have been due to some ultimate formation severing connections, but the timing was staggered. It's highly possible they were killed!"

The Twelfth Prince remained silent for a while before speaking slowly, "Who do you think did the killing?"

"It's hard to say how Marquis Dingyuan's heir died." The old man frowned, "After all, Marquis Dingyuan's son and his two guards weren't very strong together, someone nearer the top of the Divine List could have killed them."

"As for the Wind Monarch..."

The old man said, "The Wind Monarch was adept at escape techniques, reputed to be the fastest on the Divine List. Only perhaps the Yellow Spring Guest could hope to kill him."

"But Xiahong Tianli wouldn't kill him." The Twelfth Prince said calmly, "Fifth Sister and I were both founders of the Demon Path in a past life, belonging to the same faction. We've long had an alliance, and Tianli knew this. Even if there was contention with the Wind Monarch, he wouldn't have gone for the kill."

"If not the Yellow Spring Guest, then who?"

The old man frowned, "Among the top ten of the Divine List, only the Yellow Spring Guest seems probable. Others would find it even harder to kill the Wind Monarch."

"When the people inside come out, we'll know." The Twelfth Prince shook his head.

"Ah... who would have thought a Secret Cave Heaven would incur such losses."

The old man said helplessly, "Marquis Dingyuan's son could be replaced without much effect. But the Wind Monarch..."

The Twelfth Prince remained silent.

The Wind Monarch was ranked twelfth on the Divine List and had once achieved five consecutive victories in Tianxia Building's Third Layer. He had been accumulating strength, waiting for the right moment to advance.

Once he broke through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, he would surely become one of the top Great Cultivators.

Even...

As long as his Dao Heart was polished enough, he would have a high chance of Harmonization and becoming a Saint in the future!

The prince had placed great hopes on him.

To protect this promising subordinate, the entire Prince Cheng Mansion spared no effort in providing various meritorious deeds and even assigned people to accompany him to kill Demon Clan and Mutant Beasts in the Eternal Night, enhancing his protective fate of the country.

Though the Wind Monarch was not yet a Great Cultivator, connections were smoothed to assign him the position of Purple Cloud Envoy in the Heaven Patrol Alliance, an effort that greatly fortified his fortune to seven feet thick.

But...

Did he simply perish in that Secret Cave Heaven?

"The Stone Crusher Yama."

The Twelfth Prince suddenly spoke softly, "This newcomer just ascended the Divine List today. You haven't considered him."

The old man was slightly taken aback, saying, "But the Stone Crusher Yama is ranked thirteenth. He shouldn't have the ability to kill the Wind Monarch, right?"

"In the critique from Tianxia Building, he's considered to have the strength to be in the top ten." The Twelfth Prince narrowed his eyes.

"But the Wind Monarch ought to counter him well, right?" The old man seemed in disbelief, "That Stone Crusher Yama is just brutishly strong, while the Wind Monarch excels in speed. On this alone, the Wind Monarch stands unbeatable. How could the Stone Crusher Yama kill him?"

"What if he's hiding his strength?" The Twelfth Prince suggested, "If the Stone Crusher Yama also specializes in speed, he might be able to kill the Wind Monarch."

The old man was taken aback.

"This Stone Crusher Yama, with such hidden guile, whom do you think he truly is?" asked the Twelfth Prince.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Likely someone who hasn't ventured into Tianxia Building for a long time, testing their strength with a new identity by switching to a new World Token."

"What kind of person achieves the honor of entering the Divine List, yet deliberately conceals their identity?"

The Twelfth Prince shook his head slightly, speaking softly, "If I recall correctly, the Seventeenth Brother hasn't gone to Tianxia Building for several months now."

The old man was stunned, asking, "Your Highness thinks the Stone Crusher Yama could be the Seventeenth Prince?"

He couldn't help but add, "But at the start of the year, the Seventeenth Prince couldn't even pass the third layer of Tianxia Building. How could he have improved so dramatically in just three or four months?"

To kill the Wind Monarch suggests at least a top ten Divine List strength, with proficiency in various aspects and virtually no weaknesses.

Compared to a five-win streak on the second layer of Tianxia Building, that's a significant leap.

If over three to four years, the Seventeenth Prince made such progress, it might seem plausible.

But... this is only three to four months?

"About three months ago, the Seventeenth Brother created his own Martial Arts True Skill."

The Twelfth Prince said indifferently, "In three months, if he cultivated to the Four Symbols Peak, his Divine Soul transformed, and he awakened more past life memories, he might recall some powerful cultivation technique he once practiced, resulting in a surge in strength, wouldn't you think?"

The old man was stunned, murmuring, "Such a leap in strength from the Seventeenth Prince's realm, what kind of cultivation technique could make that possible? Even the top-tier legacies shouldn't allow for that... should they?"

"Top legacies of the Human Clan might not suffice." The Twelfth Prince said calmly, "But wasn't there once a technique over a thousand years ago, said to rival the Demon Clan's highest secret transmissions?"
