Chapter 371 An unexpected gain
Shen Cheng also felt a bit of a headache after listening to Han Zhiqing's story. How come in addition to Ruan Qingsha's story, there is also the role of the blasphemer in this story?

He had dealt with Si Han before and knew that this old gentleman had a sharp eye and was well versed in worldly affairs and human nature. It was impossible for him to travel all the way from the Federation to Dragon Territory just for a piece of vague information.

Si Han must know something more crucial, but because of his identity as the Black Dragon Queen's representative, he cannot confess to anyone in the Dragon Domain.

The reason why he was not in a hurry to go home was probably because he was waiting for some opportunities.

Fortunately, we now know Si Han’s whereabouts, so we just need to rescue him.

Shen Cheng said to Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing: "I plan to go back to the capital to rescue Si Han first, and then look for Ruan Qingsha's whereabouts. What do you think?"

Xiaohui certainly had no objection, and even hoped it would go faster.

Zhao Nanxing also nodded slowly: "I have no objection, but are you sure?"

She didn't know what Shen Cheng's current strength was, but the imperial capital was ruled by the legendary Red Dragon Queen.

Moreover, the eldest prince himself is also an extremely powerful ace with many strong men under his command. People like General Wild Boar cannot even be ranked among them.

"Don't worry, even if you do run into a legend, I'm sure I can get you away."

Shen Cheng was very confident, but in order to reassure Zhao Nanxing, he decided to reveal some of his cards.

"Give me your hands."

Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing stretched out their hands at the same time. Shen Cheng held their hands and activated the small black ball on his body.

The familiar feeling of weightlessness instantly enveloped the three people, and their vision went dark.

When the light came back, Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing were shocked by the scene before them.

They saw countless black cubes floating in this vast world whose width was unknown.

“This is… this is…”

Compared to Han Zhiqing's shock, Zhao Nanxing calmed down quickly, turned around to look for Shen Cheng and wanted to ask him clearly.

What he saw was Shen Cheng squatting on the ground with two familiar corpses lying beside him - the lizard and the bull demon that had suddenly disappeared mysteriously.

These two ace-level demons are dead beyond deadness, their souls have been completely crushed by the program.

Shen Cheng absorbed the resentment generated by the death of the two demons, and then touched the body of the Bull Demon, because this guy was a bull with dreams.

From Niu Mo's memory, Shen Cheng obtained two very important pieces of information.

First, before the news of Ruan Qingsha's assassination of the Red Dragon Queen came, the eldest prince had already ordered him and General Wild Boar to lead people to surround the princess's mansion.

Second, as soon as the news of the assassination came out, the eldest prince immediately ordered the relevant departments to issue a wanted order for Nguyen Thanh Sa.

Judging from these two pieces of information, the eldest prince must have been involved in Ruan Qingsha's assassination of the Red Dragon Queen, and he might even be the mastermind.

However, what puzzled Shen Cheng was that among the three descendants of the Red Dragon Queen, Ruan Qingsha was definitely the least threatening one. She was the youngest and the weakest, and she had no power of her own. She was not a competitor of the eldest prince at all. Why bother to deal with her so much?

Shen Cheng withdrew his hand from Niu Mo's body. This guy's ability was not that good, and his last wish was to become a legend.

Shen Cheng could only say, "I can't help you. You should ask someone else for help."

"Is this... a parallel world?"

Zhao Nanxing's voice, unable to conceal her shock, sounded from the side. Shen Cheng stood up and looked at her, then nodded: "This is a miniature parallel world, and now it belongs only to me."

Zhao Nanxing looked at him in a daze.

Of course she knew about parallel worlds because the human federal government had been studying them, and she had also tried the shuttle and wandered around in a parallel world for a few minutes.

But our understanding of parallel worlds is limited to this.

So even if Zhao Nanxing had a wild imagination, he could not imagine that Shen Cheng could actually have a parallel world of his own, and it was so stable that even his body could enter it.

"parallel world!"

Han Zhiqing, who was in a daze, finally came to her senses and couldn't help but let out a scream.

She rushed to Shen Cheng and grabbed his arm: "Brother Shen, is this really a parallel world? Will we be unable to get out again?"

There was a reason why she had this reaction. She was trapped in a parallel world with Shen Cheng for a long time and almost suffered from psychological trauma.

"Don't worry, this is my world, I can go out anytime."

Shen Cheng took out a small black ball from his body: "Do you remember what this is?"

Han Zhiqing looked at the small black ball in Shen Cheng's hand and recalled for a few seconds before she remembered: "So it's this thing!"

Zhao Nanxing asked curiously: "What is this?"

Shen Cheng handed the small black ball to her and explained the origin of this thing.

After listening, Zhao Nanxing checked the small black ball in his hand, which was made of unknown material, and handed it back to Shen Cheng, saying with emotion: "Your experience is really beyond my imagination."

She finally understood why Shen Cheng was so confident in facing legends. He had an independent world, and even legends could not hurt him.

Shen Cheng put away the little black ball and said to the two of them, "You two should bear with it for a while and rest here for a while. I will call Si Han out and then let you out."

Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing certainly had no objection.

One of them is powerless and the other is still recovering from her injuries. Neither of them can be of any help to Shen Cheng and may even drag him down.

So hiding is the best option, and where else could be safer than here?
Shen Cheng used alchemy to build a comfortable house for the two of them, left plenty of food and drinking water, then returned to reality and flew to the imperial capital.

He wanted to rescue Si Han before the news of the defeat of General Wild Boar and other demons reached him.

It took almost a whole day to leave, but it only took Shen Cheng a dozen minutes to get back.

At night, the imperial capital is also extremely prosperous. The bright lights make the entire city colorful, which is no worse than that of the Human Federation.

Shen Cheng has read Niu Mo's memories. The imperial capital, which was very unfamiliar to him before, is now as familiar to him as his hometown.

He identified the direction in the dark and soon arrived above the eldest prince's residence.

The entire mansion covers a very large area. Looking down from the air, it looks like a small palace.

Shen Cheng descended directly from the air and landed in a garden.

The environment here is complex and heavily guarded. Anyone who comes in for the first time will definitely get lost and may be discovered at any time.

However, Shen Cheng had read Niu Mo's memories. He had been here hundreds of times and knew the situation here very well.

Shen Cheng used mind magic to cover his tracks, and then headed towards the place where Si Han was imprisoned. Along the way, he met many patrol teams and servants, but they all ignored him.

Now, unless you meet a legend, or someone with a particularly strong intuition, even the top ace cannot see through Shen Cheng's disguise.

Si Han was imprisoned in the dungeon, which was where the eldest prince privately dealt with prisoners. In this mansion, he was the emperor whose words were law and no one could disobey him, and the law had no power over him. Shen Cheng successfully sneaked into the dungeon and soon came to the innermost position, where he saw Si Han, whose limbs were chained and who was unconscious.

The dungeon was very modern, and the cell door was equipped with an alarm system. However, this could not stop Shen Cheng. He easily passed through the cell door and entered the cell. He reached out and touched Si Han's body, and instantly sucked him into the microcosmic world. At the same time, he used alchemy to create a new Si Han, delaying the time of being discovered by the enemy.

His alchemy could not create life, but it was very easy to create a dummy with breathing and heartbeat.

After doing all this, Shen Cheng himself also entered the microcosmic world.

"grandfather!"

Han Zhiqing and Zhao Nanxing had already discovered Si Han who was sent in, and were calling out to him who was unconscious.

The unconscious Si Han slowly opened his eyes and saw three strangers in front of him. He was so surprised that he blurted out: "Who are you?!"

Han Zhiqing was surprised and said, "It's me, Grandpa, don't you recognize me?"

"wrong!"

Shen Cheng and Zhao Nanxing felt something was wrong at the same time.

Si Han, who originally had a confused look on his face, suddenly reached out and grabbed Han Zhiqing's neck who was close to him.

However, before his hand touched Han Zhiqing's neck, Zhao Nanxing grabbed his wrist first. Shen Cheng then used his telekinesis to restrain Si Han's hands and feet.

Han Zhiqing took a step back in fear and asked in a lost voice, "What happened to Grandpa?"

"He's not your grandfather."

Shen Cheng stared at "Si Han" and hypnotized him: "Who is your real identity?"

This "Si Han" was easily hypnotized, and answered with a dull look in his eyes: "My name is Chang Wei, and I am the guard of the eldest prince."

"Then why did you become Sihan?"

"It was the eldest prince who told me to pretend to be this old man. I don't know the specific reason."

"Where is the real Si Han?"

"I don't know. He was sent away by the eldest prince from the very beginning."

Under Shen Cheng's order, the guard removed his disguise and turned from Si Han into a strange man.

Shen Cheng felt that the situation was a bit tricky, so he turned to Zhao Nanxing and said, "It seems that we can only start with the eldest prince."

Zhao Nanxing advised: "Be careful, the eldest prince is not simple at all, his strength is unfathomable."

Han Zhiqing looked worried, but didn't say anything inappropriate.

The only thing she could do now was to believe in Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng erased the guard's memory and sent him back to the dungeon. He was just a small-time supporting actor who knew nothing, so there was no need to kill him and alert the enemy.

After restoring the cell to its original state, Shen Cheng hypnotized and interrogated the jailers in the dungeon one by one, and found that they were also not sure whether Si Han in the dungeon was fake.

Shen Cheng had no choice but to leave the dungeon and go to where the eldest prince lived to see if he could find an opportunity.

……

In a luxurious reception room, the eldest prince was sitting in the main seat, listening to the reports from his subordinates.

He looks like a dignified middle-aged man with a pair of sharp dragon horns on his forehead and his skin is faintly marked with dragon scales.

His eyes were slightly closed and he looked as if he was dozing off, but neither the chief steward standing beside him nor his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground reporting dared to be careless.

When the eldest prince heard from his subordinates that the Wild Boar General and his entourage had lost contact, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Send another team to check the situation and tell them that no matter whether they have found my troublesome sister or not, they can be killed without mercy."

The subordinate took the order and retreated. Just as he walked out of the reception room, he was knocked down by a guard who came in a hurry.

The chief steward who heard the noise came out and scolded them. The two men quickly knelt on the ground. The guard knocked his head on the ground and said, "Chief steward, there is urgent information."

The chief steward waved his hand and told his subordinates to get out immediately, then returned to the reception room with the guards.

"Your Highness, there is urgent information."

"explain."

The guard knelt on the ground again and kowtowed, saying in a clear and steady voice: "Your Highness, there is news from the Second Princess's mansion that the Second Princess has been closing her doors to visitors recently and not allowing anyone to come in or out because she is entertaining a mysterious guest."

The eldest prince, who had been half asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

A huge feeling of oppression suddenly appeared in the living room, causing the chief steward and the guards to tremble in their hearts.

The eldest prince stared at the kneeling guard with his golden eyes: "What distinguished guest is she entertaining?"

The guard suppressed his fear and answered, "I don't know. I only know that they have a very close relationship and even live and eat together. Because the second princess blocked the entire mansion, it was very difficult for our undercover to pass on the news, so it took more than ten days to get the news out."

The eldest prince stood up from his chair and walked back and forth in the reception room.

The chief steward and the guards all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

The eldest prince suddenly stopped and sneered: "My second sister is so brave that she actually dared to take in a wanted criminal. No wonder she can't be found anywhere."

Suddenly, the eldest prince turned his head and looked towards the window, a hint of doubt appearing in his golden eyes.

Just now, for a moment, he felt a sense of being spied on, but it disappeared in a flash, as if it was just an illusion.

He released his perception immediately, but found nothing.

After thinking for a few seconds, the eldest prince turned to the chief steward standing beside him and said, "Go and inform General Yuanhu immediately and have him lead his troops to surround the second princess's residence. Don't let even a fly escape from the sky or the ground."

The chief steward was surprised: "This... Your Highness, is this too radical?"

The second princess has been able to compete with the eldest prince for many years. She is extremely powerful and has many talented people under her.

The eldest prince ordered his troops to surround the second princess's home, which could easily lead to a conflict.

The eldest prince was of course aware of the situation, but he was firm: "Go if I tell you to. Tell Yuanhu that I have the emperor's order, so he can do it without worry."

Hearing the decree, the chief steward felt relieved and bowed his head quickly, "As you command."

After the chief steward and the guards left, the eldest prince was left alone in the reception room.

"Third sister, you hid well."

The eldest prince put his hands behind his back and looked up at a portrait of a woman hanging on the wall. A strange smile appeared on his face: "It's a good opportunity for me, your brother, to kill two birds with one stone. When the time comes, you two sisters can sleep in the same bed. Isn't that wonderful?"
