Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 432

A few people stared eagerly at the Crown Prince, closely monitoring even a single breath to see if it deepened.

Even the long-ailing Crown Prince felt somewhat overwhelmed under such scrutiny.

At this moment, perhaps because the Emperor was being overseen by the people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau, having lost the means for certain bizarre spells, the Crown Prince’s face no longer looked deathly pale, instead showing a sickly flush.

The crowd waited for a long time, yet could not witness any stunning effect.

"Perhaps this kind of elixir takes effect subtly?" The Second Prince was somewhat uncertain.

Huo Lian slightly lowered his gaze, it was not the case. What he and Changgui tried to create was naturally an immediate effect, a supreme elixir that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Heart Jade Clear Pill.

But now it seemed, they had apparently failed.

The Crown Prince, however, did not feel much. Having been ill for so long, he initially did not hold much hope. This kind of imperceptible scene was more in line with his expectations, and he gave Huo Lian a slight smile: "Perhaps it takes prolonged consumption to see the effects, do not be discouraged."

Huo Lian nodded meekly, but his hand hidden within his sleeve clenching secretly into a fist.

The Emperor’s power was clearly fading. If the Crown Prince’s illness couldn’t be cured, the next emperor might still allow the Huo Family to dominate the business world. Whether it’s the Sixth Prince or the Fifth Prince, they will certainly support someone from their faction. Now, according to the information he knows, there are quite a few merchants among those supporting these two Princes.

While power is certainly important, wealth is the foundation. Without money, even the most prominent Prince can’t accomplish anything.

Huo Lian glanced at the Second Prince. If the Crown Prince were to fall, compared to the Fifth and Sixth Princes, the Second Prince might be more suited for that position.

In the palace of the Imperial Concubine, two figures suddenly crawled out from the underground altar, which was heavily guarded at its entrance.

"If discovered by the people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau..." The Sixth Prince had just crawled out of the tunnel, covered in dust and dirt.

But Xiao Feng, who had climbed out first, was in high spirits.

Though he didn’t know why he returned to before he conquered the mortal world, and this life’s situation seemed far from before, he still found a path out of the adversity.

"It’s not the time yet, the people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau won’t come in," Xiao Feng said confidently.

After conquering the mortal world, Xiao Feng got involved in some affairs of the Immortal Supervision Bureau. After ascending to the True Immortal Realm and stepping into the Immortal Realm, he realized how terrifying the presence of the Immortal Supervision Bureau was. Not only in the mortal world, even in the Immortal Realm, it was an unshakable organization.

That’s why Xiao Feng limited himself to dabbling in one or two matters, which in his view was similar to cooperation. But if Chen Muxue knew about it, he would directly give Xiao Feng the evaluation of an outsourced junior employee.

That minor cooperation didn’t even qualify as an external staff.

However, from this little understanding, Xiao Feng discovered that the people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau followed a very strict work schedule. Most of them would only conduct their tasks during assigned hours, rarely working overtime, often even leaving early.

After observing for a few days, he found that during this time period, the people from the Immortal Supervision Bureau would not enter the altar to inspect it, only two guards dressed in black kept watch at the entrance.

Coincidentally, there happened to be another hidden entrance to this underground altar, which was exactly the one they came through.

Looking at the goddess statue which seemed to have grown out of the ground, Xiao Feng squinted his eyes.
