Bai Pu certainly wouldn’t explain to the Youyan Guest that the current Prince Kang Zhao Gou was a foolish monarch, no less than Emperor Huizong or Emperor Qinzhong.

He was able to establish the Southern Song not because of his excellence, but because the Song Dynasty’s scholar-officials had no other choice.

After the establishment of the Southern Song, he employed Qin Hui, killed Yue Fei, and annually offered a large tribute to the Jin Kingdom, only seeking temporary peace in a corner.

"Tears of the remaining people are exhausted amidst the barbarian dust, looking southward to the royal army year after year."

While Zhao Gou abandoned the northern expedition and indulged in song and dance in Hangzhou, bandits arose in the Central Plains region, and warfare was frequent, until decades later, completely occupied by the Jin people, it was no longer the realm of the Han Family.

"The twenty-eighth prince, Duke of England Zhao Si, is also a legitimate member of the imperial family." Bai Pu replied.

The Youyan Guest shouted angrily, "The twenty-eighth prince is only nine years old, how can he make decisions when the great structure is about to collapse?"

"Even without the ability to make decisions, being a figurehead is better than a rat usurping the throne, hindering loyal ministers and famous generals." Bai Pu said.

"Manipulating the emperor to control the realm, you really have such a scheme!"

The Youyan Guest lunged fiercely, and the two fought once more.

At Bai Pu’s feet, Misheng and Ye Zi, still lying down, exchanged glances and discussed quietly in the team channel.

"Brother Misheng, could this Bai Yujing be an Awakened? How does he know Prince Kang Zhao Gou will hinder loyal ministers and famous generals in the future?"

"Impossible, how could an Awakened have such strength, overpowering a Native Lord in a fight."

"There are strong ones among the Awakened too; remember Dior Fulri, the Commander of the Sweden Empire army in the Flesh and Blood Plague World?"

"This Bai Yujing is much stronger than Dior Fulri! Moreover, when we were affected by his Lord Skill just now, the Spirit Realm prompt didn’t say ’Awakened Bai Yujing launched an attack on you, you can initiate a self-defense counterattack’ or anything like that, it said ’Great Song State Preceptor Bai Yujing’..." Misheng still found it impossible.

Ye Zi secretly checked the previous prompt message.

[Great Song State Preceptor Bai Yujing’s skill ??? inflicted a suppression effect on you, rendering you unable to act due to fear for 2 seconds.] 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

[Great Song State Preceptor Bai Yujing’s skill ??? inflicted a domain suppression effect on you, reducing your movement speed by (63) points, unable to use displacement skills with a priority not exceeding (9) points, while suffering 20~50 points of mixed damage per second.]

Misheng and Ye Zi, after being fooled last time, specifically looked up anti-fraud tips for Awakened disguising as Natives.

The Awakened can disguise as Natives, especially those high-ranking Awakened who can issue tasks to other Awakened, and the task prompt shows no flaws.

But there is one flaw that cannot be disguised: the combat record.

When the Awakened fight, the Spirit Realm combat record prompt will display the code of the Awakened, not the alias used in the Spirit Realm.

Besides, there is another anti-fraud tip: observe whether the opponent obtains a battle treasure chest upon killing a Native.

"That seems to be the case, but let’s wait and see. If this person is indeed a Native, he must be a top-level boss in the Celestial Hero World." Ye Zi said.

Bai Pu, unaware of Misheng and Ye Zi’s private conversation, was focused on his battle with the Youyan Guest.

Since Prince Kang Zhao Gou was right at his feet, the Youyan Guest was cautious, his moves restricted, unable to utilize the subtle techniques of the Supreme Profound Sword Technique to deflect the attacks.

Bai Pu’s powerful strikes forced the Youyan Guest to endure shock after shock, accumulating minute internal injuries with each defense.

The Youyan Guest knew that by the end of this fight, even if he won, he would inevitably spit three liters of blood, sustaining fairly severe internal injuries.

"I can’t hesitate any longer; the person before me possesses nearly unrivaled martial arts and ambitious intentions, worthy of being called a treacherous fiend... Even if I succumb to the demon nature of the Supreme Profound Sword, I must get rid of this person!"

After another clash, the Youyan Guest utilized the mysteries of the Supreme Profound Sword Technique, flipping backward to distance himself.

With a fierce grip on the sword blade of the Supreme Profound Sword, his fingers ran across its surface.

Blood flowed down, strangely sinking into the sword body, as if the sword had grown invisible mouths, drinking the Youyan Guest’s blood with a bubbling sound.

"This sword seems unusual."

Bai Pu squinted his eyes. Judging by a mid-level Spirit Realm lord, this "Youyan Guest" was exceedingly strong.

Compared to the Red Emperor of the Heart Demon World, the Youyan Guest’s sheer strength somewhat surpassed it. His black sword held demonic characteristics akin to a Demon Sword, hiding such a hidden card, he was not to be underestimated.

Bai Pu further wondered if his intention to kill Prince Kang Zhao Gou, to change the destiny of the Celestial Hero World and the establishment of the Southern Song, had led to unprecedented resistance?

Because Zhao Gou was weak in strength yet of great significance, attempting to kill him brought formidable external resistance.

These thoughts flashed rapidly through Bai Pu’s mind, but his hand movement was swift, advancing like the wind, thrusting forward.

Only a fool would just watch when the opponent revealed a trump card, doing nothing.

However, the Youyan Guest’s expertise in force dissipation was exceptional; although his speed had diminished somewhat in the Sandfall Domain, the agility inherent in a lord remained, and he dodged Bai Pu’s fierce and powerful offense with the lightness of a withered leaf.

This feeling was somewhat reminiscent of Dongbo Chengzhi’s Dancing Wind Mystical Arts.

Bai Pu had sparred with Dongbo Chengzhi before and had strategies for handling this.

In two or three moves, vigorous qi swirled into an illusory great circle, and with Bai Pu’s great sword slamming the ground, an Eye of the Storm formed, pulling the Youyan Guest’s body over.

Boom!

With a tremendous sound, Bai Pu’s fist, charged with force, smashed out. The fist gang of [Volcano’s Face - Mountain Collapse and Earth Split] seemed almost tangible, like an invisible wall, rushing toward the Youyan Guest.

Dust soared, a dragon of smoke rapidly shot backward, precisely the Youyan Guest.

In that moment, the Youyan Guest’s appearance transformed, hair turned gray, face pale, resembling an old man lighting candles in the wind.

The Supreme Profound Sword’s hilt extended slender black and red metal tendrils that drilled into his sword-wielding right hand. It appeared as if the sword had grown from his hand.

The center of the Supreme Profound Sword’s blade revealed a black and red eye, in a state of half-opened half-closed, not yet fully opened.

Yet the Youyan Guest’s demeanor was ten times stronger than before!

In the surging black mist, it suddenly expanded.

The Sandfall Domain Bai Pu initially laid out encountered this wild black demon qi and dissipated like piles of snow meeting hot water!

Even so, Bai Pu could clearly perceive that this demon qi wasn’t emanating from the Youyan Guest.

The core of the demon qi resided in the Youyan Guest’s right hand—specifically, the Supreme Profound Sword!

The demon qi swiftly enveloped Bai Pu. In an instant, Bai Pu’s vision turned completely black.
