Chapter 10 Fighting for the Spiritual Treasure

Above the(Yunwang mansion) Cloud Prince's residence, the wind and clouds surged, a strong white light shot into the sky, causing various forces or strong figures from the Great Chu Kingdom to rush over.

Great Chu Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

"Where is the location emitting that white light?" The middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe narrowed his eyes and asked the old eunuch beside him.

The old eunuch glanced over and, with surprise, said, "Your Majesty, it seems to be in the direction of the Cloud Prince's residence."

"Cloud Prince's residence..." Chu Chengyu murmured softly, his eyelids drooping as if recalling many past events.

After a long pause, he spoke, "It has been a long time since I visited the Cloud Prince's residence. Set out for the Cloud Prince's residence!"

"Yes!" The old eunuch responded.

Similar scenes were unfolding in the various forces or families throughout the Great Chu Kingdom.

Their purpose was to head to the Cloud Prince's residence and investigate what kind of spiritual treasure was emitting such a fierce and dazzling white light.

At this moment, Yun Zheng, who had completed the contract with the little furball, had a solemn expression. Without hesitation, she grabbed the little furball and stuffed it into the contract space.

The next moment—

A loud 'boom' echoed as the roof of the attic was blasted apart, half of it destroyed.

Then, she heard her grandfather's angry shout, "Who is being so reckless in my Cloud Prince's residence?"

"Hahaha, Yun Jingtian, what kind of heavenly treasure are you hiding? Why not take it out and share it with us?"

Yun Lao Wangye spat heavily, "Pah! Fang Yan, you bastard, you make me sick!"

Fang Yan's face twisted for a moment, then he said, "Yun Jingtian, don't think just because you are at the third level of the Spirit Emperor that you can act so arrogantly. Don't forget, my Fang family's ancestor is at the fourth level of the Spirit Emperor!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you call him out to fight me!" Yun Lao Wangye, with his inherently bad temper, was always ready to throw insults.

Fang Yan was choked for words, his face contorted for a moment.

Fang Yan's sharp eyes spotted the head of the Jiang family and others standing on top of the roof, and he suddenly smiled at Yun Lao Wangye, "Yun Jingtian, look at how many people are around, do you really think you can swallow this heavenly treasure all by yourself?"

Yun Jingtian naturally noticed that the heads of various forces or families, or their managers, had barged into his Cloud Prince's residence without any restraint.

The guards of the Cloud Prince's residence were, of course, no match for them.

He couldn't understand why such intense white light had erupted from Zheng'er's attic…

As he thought of this, a deep worry flashed in Yun Jingtian's eyes.

The head of the Jiang family smiled gently, but his eyes were full of calculation, "Yun Lao Wangye, to avoid injuring the innocent people in your Cloud Prince's residence, why not hand over the heavenly treasure?"

A blatant threat!

If he didn't hand over the so-called 'heavenly treasure', these hypocritical, sanctimonious people would likely not let the Cloud Prince's residence's people off the hook.

Yun Jingtian felt a tightness in his chest, frustrated and angry.

Just as he was about to speak, a clear, agile voice rang out, "You want the heavenly treasure? I'm afraid you all aren't enough to share it."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a 14- or 15-year-old, stunningly beautiful young girl in white standing below, holding a box with both hands.

The box emitted an invisible, alluring aura.

Yun Zheng smiled sweetly and looked up at the 'robbers' on top of the roof, her posture calm and dignified.

"Who is she?"

"She's the useless daughter of the Cloud Prince's residence!"

"She seems to have changed a lot since we last saw her."

Someone squinted their eyes and stared at the box in Yun Zheng's hands, "That's the spiritual treasure that emitted the white light earlier, isn't it?"

Yun Zheng took in the expressions of the crowd and smiled, "There is only one spiritual treasure, so there certainly won't be enough to share. If I gave it to one of the seniors, others would accuse me of being partial..."

"How about this? I will place the treasure at the main gate of the Cloud Prince's residence later, and anyone who wants it can fight for it themselves."

Many agreed with her, though some felt that fighting at the Cloud Prince's gate would be too embarrassing.

Yun Zheng added, "Don't you really want it? This treasure was something I accidentally obtained from the Ruyan Forest. When I wore it, it made me feel inexplicably relaxed and at ease."

"If none of you seniors had come, I might have swallowed it myself, which could have helped me, this useless body, to start cultivating again…"

As she spoke, Yun Zheng inadvertently revealed a lonely and dim expression.

Some people, seeing this, immediately decided to let her place the spiritual treasure at the main gate of the Cloud Prince's residence.

"Then it's settled. Don't bully the little girl anymore. It's hard enough for her to make up her mind to give up the treasure. What else do you want?" said a powerful figure from one of the factions.

"Yes, yes," others echoed, still holding a bit of a conscience.

"Hurry up, I can't wait to see what kind of treasure this is!"

Finally, Yun Zheng stood with the box at the main gate of the Cloud Prince's residence, surrounded by a crowd, including the heads of the three great families, the manager of the Hundred Herbs Hall, and an elder from the Ling Tian Auction House, all staring hungrily at the box she held.

Yun Zheng smiled and bent her lips.

"Seniors, catch it!" Yun Zheng shouted.

As her voice echoed, she tossed the wooden box up into the air.

'Boom——'

'Bang——'

'Clang——'

The sounds of various attacks and struggles echoed, and everyone was fighting fiercely, moving so fast that it was a blur.

A crowd of commoners had gathered around, all looking up at the chaotic battle.

"What's going on? Why are they fighting?"

"That white light that shot into the sky from the Cloud Prince's residence just now must have attracted all these strong figures."

"The wooden box is likely the source of that blinding white light!"

"No wonder they are fighting while trying to get that box."

The commoners of the Great Chu Kingdom chatted, then couldn't help but look at Yun Zheng, standing at the door of the Cloud Prince's residence. They saw her standing with her hands behind her back, leisurely watching the chaotic battle, looking calm and collected, as if she had already won.

It felt like they were all just performing for her.

How strange!

Is this still the shy, introverted, and self-abased waste of the Cloud Prince's daughter, Yun Zheng?

Looking closer, Yun Zheng had already pulled Yun Jingtian over to watch the show at the door.

"Zheng'er, that treasure..." Yun Lao Wangye hesitated to ask.

Yun Zheng immediately winked at him, playful and cunning, like a little fox.

Yun Zheng smiled, "Grandfather, don't worry, I've got it under control."

Seeing her firm eyes, Yun Lao Wangye couldn't help but feel reassured.

He secretly transmitted his voice to Yun Zheng: "Zheng'er, did you just play them all for fools?"

Yun Zheng smiled without answering.

Yun Lao Wangye could roughly guess the answer, and his mood lifted even further.

At that moment, in a guesthouse not far from the Cloud Prince's residence, in a third-floor room, a middle-aged man in a blue robe and an effeminate old man stood.

"Your Majesty, should we send people to fight for the treasure?" A voice with a duck-like tone asked.
