Chapter 596 - 596 The infamous crown prince

Shun Long fell silent after hearing Bai Longtian's question before his mind fell into deep thoughts.

He clearly knew what Bai Longtian was trying to say.​​

After all, even if they knew the location of the crown prince's chambers it would still be hard to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, since according to the mission's description, there was always at least one Dao King protecting him at all times.

Although everyone's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in these last 3 months since they had entered the Holy sect, dealing with a Dao King was simply impossible.

2 hours later, at the same time that Xingyi had finished replenis.h.i.+ng her qi and entered Shun Long's room, Shun Long's eyes abruptly lit up before a smile slowly formed itself on his lips.

...

The night soon pa.s.sed and daybreak arrived a few hours later, before Shun Long's group left the inn and headed towards the direction of the royal palace.

Although no one was allowed to approach too close to the palace gates, there were plenty of restaurants and shops in the periphery of the palace itself.

Shun Long and the rest walked around the streets of Tang city for a little more than an hour, before they entered inside a restaurant that had a direct view of the palace, and sat by a table next to the window.

Even though it was still morning, the shops and the restaurants inside Tang city didn't close for the night since they were operated by cultivators. Even the waiters in most of the restaurants were at least Heaven grade cultivators, and they could go for at least a month without sleep and still be in peak condition.

As Shun Long stared at the gates of the royal palace that were still wide open and were guarded by the hundreds of Nascent Soul stage guards just like the last time, Liu Mei's gentle voice sounded in his ears a moment later.

''Long-ge, you and Xingyi have to be careful...''

In the past few hours that they had spent inside the room back in the inn, Shun Long had already decided on a new plan regarding the crown prince's a.s.sa.s.sination.

However, although Liu Mei and the others all understood that Shun Long's plan was extremely dangerous to him and Xie Xingyi, they also knew that it was probably the only feasible way to pull it off.

''Mei, don't worry. Since brother Long will be with me, I will be alright. You should be careful too!''

Shun Long patted Liu Mei's head lightly and pulled her into a hug before he said

''You shouldn't worry too much about me when your mission isn't any less dangerous.''

Turning his eyes towards Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian, Shun Long then continued

''Be very careful. No matter what, our target is still guarded by a Dao King realm expert!''

Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian both nodded their heads with serious looks on their faces, as they understood that although Shun Long and Xie Xingyi would be facing the brunt of the danger this time, the parts that they had to play in this mission weren't any less dangerous in reality.

Without saying another word, Shun Long turned his gaze towards the food that the waiters had started to bring, but his eyes would still occasionally stare at the palace gates of the royal palace through the window.

A little more than 3 hours later, Shun Long's eyes suddenly narrowed as he spotted a luxurious carriage that was being pulled by 2 peak rank 5 magic beasts coming out from the royal palace.

Without even needing to guess, Shun Long heard the conversation of the people inside the restaurant that instantly exploded the next moment, as everyone else seemed to have also noticed the luxurious carriage coming out from the palace.

''Sigh... isn't that the crown prince's carriage? I wonder who the unlucky girl is going to be this time!''

''It's the same thing every few days. Every time he only comes out from the royal palace to pick a girl, and once he gets bored of her he just picks another one a few days later! Those girls are truly unfortunate...''

''Unfortunate? They still get the chance to become the crown prince's women so why are they unfortunate? Even if they become his concubines, their status will still skyrocket. After all, isn't the Tang dynasty is the strongest power in our 'Blue star continent'?''

A middle-aged man asked curiously after hearing the confusing conversations of the people around him.

He seemed to have heard some things about the crown prince, but his ignorant response only caused a barrage of snickers and mocking looks to be thrown at him.

''Heh, you must be new to the royal city to be this naive! Do you really think that the profligate prince would take those women as his concubines? How naive. They are nothing more than his playthings that he discards after playing with them for a few days! Forget about giving them some status, he simply kicks them out of the palace a few days later... heh, that's for those who manage to survive his torture.''

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this, as he stared at the luxurious carriage through another huge window of the restaurant with a look of shock in his eyes.

It was obvious that he had only just arrived in Tang city and didn't know too many things about the infamous crown prince.

At the same time, Shun Long stared at the luxurious carriage with his eyes narrowed slightly, before he stood up from his seat and turned his gaze towards Xie Xingyi and the rest.

With a bright smile on her face, Xingyi stood up as well, followed by Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, as the 5 of them walked out of the restaurant.
