After a considerably long silence, Qin Cheng finally spoke, "'Second Prince..... I will first speak with the Blood Devil Sect leader regarding this matter.'""'I don't need an answer later; I need your answer now, this very moment. If both of you leave this place without an answer, then I will consider the Mask of Death and the Bloodthirsty Devil Sect to be traitors.'" Liu Chong glanced at the two King Martial Artist cultivation experts.Although Liu Chong was only a prince with a first-class martial artist cultivation, far weaker than a King Martial Artist, he successfully instilled fear in the hearts of Hua Xiong and Qin Cheng.Hua Xiong and Qin Cheng were in a deep dilemma regarding the decision they had to make at that very moment. The great name of the Green Dragon Leader instilled deep fear in their hearts, and if it was true that the Green Dragon Leader of the Five Dragon Sect supported the Second Prince in ascending the Shu Imperial Throne, then it was c

Ba Bel raised both eyebrows when he saw Sima Lian choking on the tea she had just drunk.“Miss Lian… are you alright?” Ba Bel asked worriedly.Sima Lian nodded, trying to regain her breath after choking.The reason Sima Lian had asked Ba Bel’s age was that she thought he looked around 12 to 14 years old based on his physique. However, judging by Ba Bel's manner of speaking and body language, Sima Lian felt as if she were talking to a martial arts senior who had passed through hundreds of life-and-death battles.“Please forgive me, Young Master Ba, for my impertinence in asking about your age. I was merely curious and had no other intention.” Sima Lian smiled awkwardly as she said this. “I am fine, Young Master, just choked a little.” Sima Lian said, taking a deep breath.“There's no need to be formal, Miss Lian. I don't think it would be difficult for the Lotus Flower Pavilion to investigate my

Elsewhere, Ba Bel, walking toward the inn where his Master was staying, examined the Lotus Flower Card he held. Ba Bel had not expected that his visit today would result in him obtaining a card that would be coveted by many practitioners in the Shu Empire in the future.“If I can establish cooperation and gain significant influence over the Lotus Flower Pavilion, someday they can surely help heal the internal injuries my Master suffers,” Ba Bel murmured to himself with an enthusiastic expression.In his first life, Ba Bel had heard that the Lotus Flower Pavilion highly valued those who could contribute to their development. Ba Bel only hoped that the rumor he heard was true.“With the help of the Lotus Flower Pavilion, my path toward the pinnacle of martial arts will become smoother and easier.” Ba Bel smiled as he said this while stepping forward. “Ah... I can sell the Water Bamboo, which will eventually be the source of disaster f

During the journey from the inn to the palace, Elder Fu recounted that the recent actions of Wong An and Ba Bel had become hot news throughout the Shu Empire.Rumors circulated that two martial experts, a Master and his disciple from the Heaven and Earth Sword Sect, had destroyed dozens of hideouts belonging to the Black Centipede Bandits, who had been terrorizing the citizens of the Shu Empire.“What I hear is that thanks to Elder Wong and Bel’er’s actions, our sect is now receiving more missions from the nobility, all because of the reputation Elder Wong and his disciple forged while traveling to the capital.” Elder Fu looked extremely enthusiastic, his face never losing its smile.This was because even righteous path experts rarely helped the struggling citizens of the Shu Empire without compensation. Wong An was arguably the only righteous path expert with cultivation at the Titled Martial Artist level who was willing to help the comm

On the same day, shortly after Wong An and Ba Bel had entered and settled into the rooms provided by Liu Chan in his residence, a palace eunuch rushed in hastily to face Liu Chan.“CROWN PRINCE.....! CROWN PRINCE....! Please forgive me, Your Highness....!” A eunuch, pale-faced and repeatedly trembling, prostrated himself before Liu Chan.Liu Chan was perplexed when he saw the eunuch suddenly arrive and immediately prostrate himself, shaking with fear. “What is it, Eunuch Bao? Calm yourself and tell me slowly what has caused your body to tremble like this?” Liu Chan spoke in a soft, level tone, looking at the bowing eunuch.Jiu SangXiang, who was seated and preparing to accompany her husband to meet Wong An and his disciple, was also confused by the behavior of Liu Chan’s trusted and most senior eunuch, who was known for his composure.“Your Highness, something has happened to the first young master and the second young
