Bai Rouyun noticed the slight movements of the Crown Prince and the Emperor, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes, but she did not change her expression.

Naturally, Mo Chu also noticed them, and while he was full of anger, he could sense that Bai Rouyun was confident in facing off against the Crown Prince.

He wanted to warn her that she should not participate, but when he saw her determined expression, he just sighed and swallowed down the words at the tip of his tongue.

The Royal Hunting Feast allowed them to stay in the forest for a full month. There would be no one to observe what happened within; also no guards were allowed to enter, out of fear of them cheating.

The only ones who could enter were the youths. While Mo Chu was angry, feeling as if someone was scheming against his child, he knew that amongst these teenagers, none of them was Bai Rouyun's opponent.

But what if they grouped up? At least he knew that she had a treasure that had a unique dimension, so if she genuinely encountered something she had no chance of solving, she could hide.

Bai Rouyun had no intention of hiding. If she hid, others would know about her treasure, and that would be the same as inviting trouble. But she had full faith in her fleeing ability because of the Flowing Feather Step.

Bai Rouyun had a sword hanging by her waist. It was the sword that she had taken in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion while she was wearing the face mask.

Although no one knew that she was the same person, she knew that no matter how dumb Princess Xing was, she would be able to guess their connection upon seeing the sword.

It seemed that Princess Xing could not be allowed to stay alive.

While Bai Rouyun did not care much for her own identity being exposed, she could not allow the royal family to know about Li Moyun's other identity. As such, she was only left with the choice of exterminating Princess Xing.

At least, he was quite sure that Li Moyun would not blame her for this. Although they were siblings, these people had tried to harm him time and time again.

It was already benevolent that he had not acted against them, but stopping others from harming them? He was not that bored.

The Emperor kept talking about how these youths were the pride of the Empire. He spoke about how they ought to assist one another if they saw someone who had problems in the forest.

He also pointed out that it was not allowed to kill one another, but on the other hand, he informed them that no one would be supervising them, as any supervision might turn into cheating.

Everyone with just a bit of intelligence could hear that, while it was not allowed to kill one another, if no one found out about it, then there was no problem.

Bai Rouyun could not help but think. She was aiming for the first prize, and thus she did not have time to hunt down and kill the youths, but if any of them would try to harm her, she would not be polite.

The only person she knew that she had to kill was Princess Xing. Princess Xing was a true walking timebomb, not only for her but also for Li Moyun. Bai Rouyun would never let her live, but she was likely to be sticking together with the Crown Prince.

While Bai Rouyun had faith that she could deal with the Crown Prince in a one on one fight, she was not sure if there was a whole group of experts. Although she might not lose, killing Princess Xing in that situation would be very hard. She had to lure her away somehow.

At least she had a whole month to plan the murder of Princess Xing. She was not in a hurry, and she could spend the beginning of the Hunt just focusing entirely on killing beasts and collecting Beast Cores.

Princess Xing was not as old as the Crown Prince, and while she was still greatly talented, she was merely at the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier, Mediate Layer.

She was only one small realm above Bai Rouyun, so she did not fear her. Since she had faith in her own ability to even deal with the Crown Prince, who was a whole big realm above her, then she also had confidence in coping with Princess Xing.

"All of you, please follow the royal guard. The Beast Mountain is one day's travel away, so please head back to your carriages and get ready to depart."

Bai Rouyun was somewhat surprised when she heard this. She had thought that the mountain would be closer, but then she shrugged her shoulders. It did not matter to her if they had to travel a day in the carriage before arriving.

The two returned to the carriage, and Bai Rouyun sat within while Mo Chu was driving it.

They had arrived within the last batches of people, and thus they were guided out amongst the first participants, being the fourth carriage in the line that was heading towards the Beast Forest.

Most had traveled together, grouped in pairs of two or three in each carriage. Most of them were bustling with life as the ones within were chatting with one another, talking about the speech the Emperor had made, and discussing their plans for the Royal Hunting Feast.

But within Bai Rouyun's carriage there was complete silence. Bai Rouyun was cultivating, she was not willing to waste any time on useless things, and since she was alone, the choice was between staring out the window and cultivating.
