Chapter 499: Chapter 170: The Little Prince of Great Zhou! The Destiny Coffin Appears Again! (A 10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Subscription Requested)_5
The Little Prince’s eyes suddenly widened, "The son of the Imperial Brother?"
Hu Banban nodded, his face full of shock.
Who would have thought that the Little Royal Highness would sneak out of the Imperial Palace?
Then, he hurried to follow.
And just when they were about to return to the Imperial Palace, they unexpectedly encountered His Highness the Prince of Nanjun on the road!
This, this, this...
The development was too fantastical.
It caught Hu Banban completely off guard.
In fact, the Prince of Nanjun himself was stunned. Following Fan Wu and the others to this so-called Great Zhou Imperial City was not of his own volition. But since such an incident had already happened, he could only be forced to accept it and follow along with Fan Wu and the rest.
Some of the strange occurrences along the way seemed to have nothing to do with him; he was but an observer.
But tonight.
The event he encountered seemed to involve him.
He had somehow inexplicably gained a little uncle?
An uncle much younger than himself!
The Prince of Nanjun could not remember his own age, but he felt that he must be at least in his forties or fifties, considering his half-black, half-white hair.
But how old did this little brat look? At most, he wasn’t even ten years old.
An uncle less than ten years old?
What kind of joke was this?!
At this moment.
The Prince of Nanjun and the Little Prince stared at each other with wide eyes for quite a while.
"He truly has hysteria," Fan Wu finally spoke up, "He can’t remember anything, and if no one told him, he wouldn’t even know he’s the Nanjun County Prince."
Hu Banban was startled, "What... What’s going on here?"
Fan Wu explained, "He was bewitched by an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon before. After the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon left, he became like this. Who knows what caused it."
"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?" Hu Banban felt his brain was not enough.
He was just a eunuch with some martial skills.
He was no cultivator.
Terms like gods in the heavens, demons and devils, he had only heard others speak of them.
He was completely ignorant of such matters.
Just as Hu Banban was about to ask more, suddenly, from outside the inn, came a commotion. The noise from outside was very loud, as if something major had happened, and there were even many voices of people screaming in panic.
Hu Banban immediately became vigilant.
The Little Royal Highness had sneaked out without bringing any guards, and in his haste to follow, he hadn’t brought a single person along.
Under such circumstances, any problem encountered would be a difficult trouble for them to resolve!
"What’s happening outside?" Hu Banban’s hand had already reached behind his waist, where he had a short knife hidden—the only weapon on him that could protect the Little Royal Highness.
His eyes warily watched the inn’s door, ready to risk his life to protect the safety of the Little Royal Highness should any intruders break in...
"Daoist Priest Fan, it seems something has happened outside," Yun Jiuqing said, "Shall we go out and take a look?"
"Hmm." Daoist Fan Wu slowly stood up.
As he got up, he said, "This poor Daoist can guess what the commotion outside might be."
As these words fell, everyone present couldn’t help but be startled.
Hu Banban quickly asked, "Daoist Fan Wu, what exactly happened outside, and how do you know?"
Hu Banban was a bit puzzled.
Because Daoist Fan Wu, like him, had been inside the inn the whole time and had not gone out even once. So how could he know what had happened outside?
It couldn’t be that he heard it, right?
That would be too far-fetched, wouldn’t it?
"It’s as if I heard it, as if I smelled it, and as if I sensed it," Fan Wu casually replied, "I heard a few familiar terms, I smelled a familiar scent, and I felt... a very familiar presence."
With that, Fan Wu walked towards the inn’s door at an unhurried pace.
Seeing this, Yun Jiuqing quickly followed.
Xing Fengzi did the same.
The Prince of Nanjun thought for a moment, and in the end, decided to follow as well. After all, he did not want Fan Wu to think he was trying to escape again. Fan Wu had left a profound psychological shadow in his heart.
"Your Highness, let Daoist Fan Wu and the others go out to take a look, we should wait inside the inn. There could be an ambush outside, and it could be dangerous to go out."
"Hmm? Your Highness?" Hu Banban’s face changed as he quickly turned to look beside him, only to discover that the stool next to him no longer had anyone sitting on it.
This scared him to the point that his old face turned pale, and he swiftly turned his gaze toward the inn’s door.
Then he saw the Little Royal Highness, trotting along after Daoist Fan Wu.
"Your Highness, wait for me!"
Hu Banban hurriedly called out.
...
Outside the inn.
The slowly spreading Yin Energy felt like being in the midst of a winter’s night, causing an involuntary shiver. At least that was what the child and Hu Banban felt when they ran out—they found the temperature outside exceedingly chilly!
Before the two non-cultivators could react to what was happening on the outside,
a stern shout was heard.
