Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Holy Dragon Palace, Insisting on Courting Death

As the voice faded, the people of the Long Night Star Palace couldn’t help but tilt their chins upward, brimming with pride.

Beside them, Ji Han interjected with a laugh, "Your Xingluo Academy is a bit of a bully, isn’t it?"

Sending out talents who had entered the East Plain Thousand Dominator List to battle was nothing short of bullying by the Long Night Star Palace, wasn’t it?

The Holy Dragon Palace stood no chance of winning, not the slightest.

"Hahaha, who asked the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace to court death?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Peng burst out laughing and immediately said, "To court death once, the Main Academy wouldn’t have intervened, but a student from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, some little thing called Sikong Jing, exposed his strength."

"This child, who should have been the trump card of the Holy Dragon Palace, injured a student of the Heavenly Dao Palace under their very feet, forcing Master Chang to notify us of this event and thus hastening my return."

Sikong Jing!

At Peng Peng’s words, a cold light flashed in Yan Ruyu’s eyes beside Ji Ming, and a murderous intent surged forth.

But as a mere maid beside the Seventh Prince, naturally, no one paid her any attention anymore.

Peng Peng continued, "To court death twice, the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace executed a student who came as reinforcement from the Holy Dragon General Academy and imprisoned the other two students. Now they can only fight on their own."

"At the same time, they also forced Elder Feng Tingfu to side with us, practically wishing the entire Long Night Saint Dragon Palace would die."

Then, Peng Peng laughed triumphantly and said, "Tell me, if the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace doesn’t die, who will?"

Beside him, Feng Tingfu smiled indifferently. He had deliberately aligned himself with the people from Long Night Star Palace.

He wanted to humiliate the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

Hearing this, Ji Ming couldn’t help but laugh again, "Haha, then let me wish Brother Peng a victorious start and hope that Long Night Star Palace drives out the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace to take over Qilong Mountain. Afterwards, I’ll host a banquet to treat everyone."

Yu Wenxiong and Chang Wang, the two palace masters, shrugged indifferently and then took their leave, heading into the Court Hunting Ground.

However, at this moment, Yan Ruyu suddenly whispered a few words in Ji Ming’s ear. He nodded with a smile, then called out to Peng Peng, "Brother Peng, I have a favor to ask."

Peng Peng halted his steps and turned around to ask, "What does the Seventh Prince seek?"

"That Sikong Jing, he is an enemy of this beauty beside me. When the time comes, I wonder, could you spare his life but beat him to a pulp, to offer him to my beauty as a plaything?" Ji Ming said nonchalantly.

At these words, Peng Peng wasn’t perturbed, but Yu Wenxiong’s eyes exploded with cold fury.

He turned to stare at Ji Ming and said, "Seventh Prince, Sikong Jing certainly cannot die so easily, but we cannot leave him for you to toy with. Instead, he will be brought back to Xingluo Palace and be tortured to death alive."

"If you wish to enjoy a spectacle, you can come and witness it at our Xingluo Palace."

As the voice dropped, Ji Ming and Yan Ruyu were simultaneously taken aback—what had Sikong Jing done to invoke such raging hatred from Yu Wenxiong?

Of course, they didn’t know that Sikong Jing had nearly destroyed the Long Night Star Palace and even left a terribly shameful Dragon Seal upon them, and the elder generation couldn’t lay a hand on him.

Just thinking about the hatred in Yu Wenxiong’s heart, one would know he wouldn’t hand Sikong Jing over to Ji Ming

"Rest assured, in our hands, that little beast will die even more miserably," Yu Wenxiong said through clenched teeth.

Since it came to this, Ji Ming naturally could not retort, so he respectfully clenched his fists in salute, "Very well, I shall be there."

And Yan Ruyu was also visibly excited, brimming with anticipation.

Having offended the Long Night Star Palace, Sikong Jing was doomed, and they were eager to see how much longer he could swagger about.

Suddenly, tremendous dragon roars erupted in the distance, and demon dragons soared into the sky. Yu Wenxiong and the others, who were about to enter the hunting grounds, once again stopped in their tracks and turned to look in the direction of the demon dragons.

And Ji Ming whispered, "The Long Night Saint Dragon Palace has arrived as well."

In an instant, Yan Ruyu’s emotions surged, and she stood up tall and proud beside Ji Ming, about to meet Sikong Jing. She wondered what his face would look like when he saw her as the woman of the Seventh Prince.

It would surely be shock, anger, and bewilderment.

Within just a few blinks, the demon dragon from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace descended in front of the court hunting ground.

Stepping off the dragon’s back, Qin Heng led the group with large strides toward the Palace Hunting Ground, clearly seeing each individual inside. Their gaze first fell upon Yu Wenxiong.

Then they turned to Chang Wang, and finally, they stared directly at Feng Tingfu.

The people on the other side looked back at them, both sides confronting each other, their killing intent exploding at the gateway.

"Vice Palace Master Qin, long time no see," Ji Ming broke the silence just then.

The killing intent instantly subsided, and Qin Heng slowly turned to Ji Ming, cupping his fists, "Seventh Prince."

He had also met the Seventh Prince; both were in the Long Night Imperial City, and both held extremely high statuses—it was impossible not to know each other.

The Long Night Imperial Family would occasionally hold Martial Arts conferences and would invite people from Xingluo Palace or Holy Dragon Palace. Of course, Qin Heng knew that Ji Ming was now the top young master of the Long Night Empire.

But it was merely a greeting, and Ji Ming did not say anything further.

At that moment, Master Chang of the Heavenly Dao Palace suddenly stepped forward and spoke slowly: "Qin Heng, should Elder Ma and He Jia be returned to us now?"

Qin Heng responded, "I have already brought the people and can certainly return them to you, but how does Master Chang plan to explain the blatant disorder that the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace caused in my Holy Dragon Palace?"

Negotiations immediately began, and Qin Heng did not show weakness. Today, he had come with a resolute intention.

Upon hearing this, Chang Wang casually replied, "Explain? No problem, but on the condition that Qilong Mountain is still yours. If Qilong Mountain is no longer under your control, then it seems I no longer need to offer any explanation."

"If you don’t hand over the people by then, it will be a declaration of war," Chang Wang threatened coldly.

The implication was clear—soon Qilong Mountain would no longer be the territory of the Holy Dragon Palace. Therefore, Ma Daoming and He Jia would not be considered intruders anymore, and if people were not released by then, they would take action and eliminate Qin Heng.

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Qin Heng spoke slowly, "Rest assured, Qilong Mountain will definitely remain within my Holy Dragon Palace."

Chang Wang gave a cold laugh in response and said no more.

Then Feng Tingfu stepped forward with a sneer, "Qin Heng, if you lose the battle and Qilong Mountain falls, I will represent the Holy Dragon General Academy and execute you on the spot. Make sure you don’t lose."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Tingfu’s killing intent surged toward Qin Heng and the others.

Qin Heng still suppressed his anger, knowing full well that they were prepared to see the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace lose for their own interests.

But now, arguing was pointless.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Heng spoke without any expression, "Rest assured, Elder Feng, Qilong Mountain won’t be lost. I won’t give you the chance to execute me, nor will I give someone lurking in Xingluo Palace that opportunity."

"Pfft..."

Just as Qin Heng finished, derisive laughter sounded, prompting everyone to look over—it was none other than Yan Ruyu.

Feeling the gaze of the crowd upon her, Yan Ruyu timidly patted her chest, blushing as she said, "I’m sorry, Vice Palace Master Qin. I just couldn’t help laughing. You won’t take it personally, will you?"

Qin Heng did not know Yan Ruyu, so naturally, he ignored her.

But inside, he felt extreme hatred. Since when could a mere maid laugh at the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace?

The faces of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace group were ashen, all stifling their rage.
