Chapter 35: Lin Qi’an Exits the Secret Realm, Tensions Rise
Outside the secret realm.
All the sects and holy lands had already moved away.
The Beiyang Sword Guards at the center had become the focus of everyone’s attention and they were surrounded on all sides.
“Do these people really think they are something special? Let me go and kill my way in and out seven times!” A sword guard angrily suggested.
“Impossible, they have the advantage of numbers. Even if we charge in and kill dozens, it would still be a heavy loss.”
The Beiyang Sword Guards were strong, but it was impossible to fight thousands of experts simultaneously and they simply couldn’t kill them all.
“We should wait for the Crown Prince to come out and decide. If the Crown Prince orders us to kill, we will kill.”
Within the Ziyou Holy Land and Tianchi Holy Land, there was a sense of panic among everyone.
“What should we do… the Ziyou Saintess is still with the Crown Prince…”
“Don’t say that, the Saintess of Tianchi is also by His Highness’s side.”
“Will we be held accountable together later…”
“The Saintess of Tianchi might be fine, as she’s favored by the prince, but Ziyou Saintess is not!”
“We’re doomed! If we get implicated, our Ziyou Holy Land is finished…”
Hundreds of elders and disciples were all trembling with fear.
If they were really implicated, the power under the Nanyue Crown Prince, destroying their two holy lands would be as easy as turning over a hand!
They wouldn’t have the slightest chance to resist. Outside, the cultivators from various sects were whispering to each other.
“Hey, this is not Beiyang after all, Lin Qi’an can’t act domineering here.”
“Exactly… Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. If he acts so tyrannically in Nanyue, he will inevitably be suppressed.”
“I’m not worried about the Crown Prince’s life. In the Canglan Dao Domain, no sect dares to harm the son of the Sword Emperor.”
“But those accompanying sword guards will probably all perish here!”
“Indeed, His Highness’s reputation will also be tarnished, and his women will be taken away…”
Some sects, discontent with Nanyue, wanted to support Lin Qi’an.
But rationally, they didn’t think Lin Qi’an could resolve this crisis. After all, in the Canglan Dao Domain, strength reigned supreme. The group that had come now was stronger than Lin Qi’an.
Unless he summoned the strong ones from Tianjian City, but with a distance of thousands of miles, how could he call them over?
The Holy Lord of Tiangang was complaining to Zhao Sanfeng.
“Crown Prince, Beiyang truly disregards you and the entire Taian royal family!”
“That day, my son went to Tianchi Holy Land on royal orders and was killed by Lin Qi’an! He is so brutal and overbearing, it’s simply outrageous!”
“Today, he has come to oppress you. If we don’t punish him severely, it will be hard to maintain authority in the future.”
He kept fanning the flames, aiming to avenge his son’s death!
“My Tiangang Holy Land will definitely do our utmost to assist the Crown Prince.”
“Hehe, no need to add fuel here.” Zhao Sanfeng laughed coldly with his hands behind his back: “Since I am here today, I will not let Lin Qi’an leave unharmed.”
“Three thousand years ago, the Sword Emperor was indeed invincible in the world.”
“But three thousand years later, the number of Great Emperors in the Canglan Dao Domain is more than double. Does he really think Beiyang can dominate the world?”
Someone beside him sneered: “I think that Beiyang Crown Prince heard the news and is hiding inside like a turtle.”
“No matter, wait for half a day. If he still doesn’t come out, I will destroy this secret realm.”
Gradually, night fell.
The wind rustled, and the leaves rustled. Outside Jiumang Mountain, countless lights connected into a sea of stars, resembling the starry sky.
And in the sky, the light gate of the secret realm still shone and everyone was waiting for Lin Qi’an.
Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the light gate.
“Someone is coming out!” Someone shouted, drawing all eyes to the light gate.
Stepping out of the secret realm was a man dressed in white, his bearing was graceful, like a divine son in a robe of cloud brocade.
It was the Beiyang Crown Prince, Lin Qi’an and two stunning women stood by his side. One was elegant as a lotus, like a celestial maiden. The other wore a purple dress, equally a peerless beauty.
“Beiyang Crown Prince!”
“It’s the Beiyang Crown Prince, he’s out!”
“Finally… The show is about to start!”
The entire mountain range erupted in excitement.
The white-clad sword guards stepped forward to greet the Crown Prince.
After listening for a moment, he immediately understood the situation and looked at the richly dressed man not far ahead.
“Well, I didn’t expect you to personally come to greet me?”
“Beiyang Crown Prince, it took you so long to come out, were you hiding?” Zhao Sanfeng sneered with his hands behind his back.
His words were full of undisguised mockery, angering the sword guards, who were ready to draw their swords.
“Insulting the Crown Prince, courting death!”
The Southern Python Guards shouted angrily: “Crown Prince? In Nanyue, there is only one Crown Prince. Beiyang dares to be presumptuous?!”
The tension between the two sides was palpable. The air was thick with the scent of gunpowder, ready to explode at any moment.
Lin Qi’an whispered, “Aunt You, they seem to have a lot of people. What do you think?”
A ripple appeared in the shadows, and a black figure emerged faintly.
“Your Highness, they are just a bunch of rabble. I can kill them at will.”
She was indeed the female assassin who struck fear across the Canglan Dao Domain five hundred years ago.
Everyone thought she had died, but they didn’t know she had been subdued by the Sword Emperor. His father assigned her as his protector which was a bit of a waste of talent!
“Then why don’t you go up and kill a few rounds, let the Nanyue Crown Prince feel the warmth of Beiyang?” Lin Qi’an smiled and asked.
“At your command!”
