Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 371 Yan Xulonghan

But the next moment!

A discordant and jarring sound shattered the brief silence like a sharp blade.

The elder in black, who was the leader of the group of elders, glared angrily, his face filled with rage and disappointment. He roared:

"Traitor! Xue Jing, you have disgraced the Crown Prince of my Immortal Dynasty!"

"As the future heir of the Immortal Dynasty, you should shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting humanity and upholding the dignity of the Immortal Dynasty..."

"But you colluded with the demon race, disregarding the safety of the human race. Your crimes are utterly heinous!"

At that moment, a senior official echoed this sentiment:

"That's right, Xue Jing, you actually dared to collude with the demon race and commit such a shocking mistake."

"You are no longer worthy to be the crown prince. This time, even the empress cannot protect you."

"You will be severely punished by the laws of the Celestial Dynasty and will pay a heavy price for your actions!"

One of the Grand Secretaries was enraged beyond measure; his hair and beard stood on end, his fists clenched, and his eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent. He said:

"Xue Jing deserves to die!"

"Your actions have crossed the line for humanity. If you are not executed, it will be difficult to quell the anger of humanity and maintain the dignity and order of the Immortal Dynasty!"

"........"

The elders' words were like sharp daggers, piercing straight at Xue Jing, making the atmosphere at the scene increasingly tense and oppressive!

Xue Jing merely glanced back at him, then said indifferently:

"I am no longer the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty..."

--------

At this moment.

In the sky, from within the demon race's ranks, an old dragon slowly emerged.

Although he had transformed into human form, the two dragon horns on his forehead were as clear and translucent as ancient jade, radiating a mysterious and majestic luster.

The dragon's horns are covered with crisscrossing patterns, seemingly containing endless vicissitudes of time.

His face was as aged as an ancient tree etched with the furrows of time, each wrinkle seeming to tell the story of his long and glorious past.

He was tall and upright, and although he was old, he still exuded a powerful aura that commanded respect.

Old Dragon strode forward with steady and powerful steps, each step seemingly causing the space to tremble.

He said loudly:

"You old bastards, Yan Xu, how dare you be so insolent!"

"Young friend Xue Jing has already become a Daoist couple with our clan's Holy Maiden!"

"And you not only don't understand how to help others find happiness, you also try to break up a loving couple!"

"Human beings are truly hypocritical and deceitful to the extreme!"

The sound was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the world and making people's eardrums ache.

........

------

"what's the situation?!"

"The Crown Prince and the Holy Maiden of the Dragon Clan have become Daoist partners?"

"When did this happen? How come we didn't know a thing..."

"This is getting much worse, out of control..."

Upon hearing this, the assembled elders erupted in a cacophony of discussion.

Some of the senior officials stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, their mouths agape as if they could fit a sword hilt.

Some of the senior officials, however, were frowning, pacing back and forth with a worried expression, muttering to themselves:

"What should we do? What should we do...?"

Some of the senior officials were so angry that they puffed out their beards and glared, hands on their hips, and shouted:

"The Crown Prince is being far too reckless, doing something so absurd that he has disgraced the Celestial Dynasty!"

The scene was chaotic, and everyone was shocked and at a loss by the sudden news.

........

But then Yan Xu snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph! Long Han, you old dragon with little life left, how dare you leave the Dragon Palace and come to my Immortal Dynasty's territory? Are you courting death?"

Yan Xu was the black-clad elder who led the group of elders!

Although he was quite old, his face did not show much signs of aging. His complexion was rosy like the morning sun, making him look like a little old man, not old enough to have lost his teeth.

However, the aura emanating from him was as deep and imposing as a mountain, extremely powerful!

Its imposing presence was like a towering mountain, inspiring awe and reverence in those who looked up at it.

It is also like a deep ocean, containing endless mystery and power.

He stood there, exuding an imposing aura without anger, as if the entire world was under his control.

"hehe......"

Long Han sneered repeatedly, his laughter as cold and sharp as icicles in the wind.

Then, he made a domineering statement:

"Old man Yan Xu, how dare you spout such nonsense? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? If you're not convinced, then let's fight!"

The sound exploded like thunder between heaven and earth!

........

Perhaps knowing that Long Han was stronger than himself, Yan Xu remained silent for a moment.

But the other elders behind him couldn't contain themselves any longer and began to speak out:

"Old Yan, it's just an old dragon, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Elder Yan, please rest assured and take action. We will capture Xue Jing and bring him back to the Immortal Palace."

"Elder Yan..."

Despite saying this, no one wanted to fight Long Han; they only kept persuading and urging Yan Xu.

Their eyes showed both trust in Yan Xu's strength and fear of Long Han;

Therefore, everyone hoped that Yan Xu could step forward and solve this thorny problem.

Clearly, Yan Xu was the strongest among the Grand Secretaries and their pillar of support.

Looking at the faces of these elders around him, Yan Xu felt nauseous!

What this group of people are saying is simple and pleasant to hear...

But that was a dragon elder, and a renowned senior demon throughout the entire demon realm. How could he be killed so easily?!

Because its lifespan was nearing its end, this old dragon's strength had declined; otherwise, it would have been no match for him.

But if this old dragon is pushed too far, it will definitely fight desperately!

It's entirely possible that it will be a one-for-one trade, and he'll fight to the death; that's very possible...

Thinking of this, Yan Xu felt a surge of disgust and irritation.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to fight!

Otherwise, if this gets back, I'm afraid I'll not only be condemned, but I'll also displease the Celestial Emperor and be scorned by the world...

With this thought in mind, Yan Xu did not hesitate any longer. His black clothes flashed, and he rushed straight towards Long Han like a black lightning bolt.

His figure fluttered in the wind, stirring up ripples of Daoist energy that distorted space and seemed to be cutting it open, revealing cracks in the space!

------

The other senior officials all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

As long as Yan Xu is willing to make a move...

They exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing relief and anticipation.

Seeing this, Long Han also put away his playful attitude and his eyes became serious.

After all, Yan Xu was the strongest among the Grand Elders of the Immortal Dynasty, a Grand Elder with a prestigious position that should not be underestimated.

With a wave of his sleeve, he nimbly leaped across the clouds and soared into the heavens.

Yan Xu followed closely behind.

Clearly, the battle between the two cannot take place below, otherwise the destructive power would be too astonishing, causing the cultivators or civilians below to die and perish!

Long Han came here to bring Xue Jing back to the demon realm!

Therefore, they did not want to go too far, which is why they rushed into the heavens to avoid the war affecting ordinary people.

“Boom boom boom…”

Soon, bursts of loud noises echoed from the heavens.

The sound was like ten thousand bombs exploding at the same time, shaking the heavens and earth.

The clouds seemed to have been scattered, drifting everywhere like torn cotton wool.

The Daoist rhythm flowed endlessly, like mysterious threads intertwining and entwining in the void.

Space seemed to be torn apart, with black cracks appearing everywhere!

Terrifying energy fluctuations surged forth from the crack, expanding infinitely, mysterious yet powerful.

The energy fluctuations came in waves, giving people an irresistible sense of majesty and power!

........

below.

At this moment, Xue Jing cleverly took advantage of the confrontation between the two powerful figures above and the distraction of everyone's attention, and with a flash, he arrived in the demon race's camp.

He leaped lightly from the back of the snow-white flying tiger, which radiated a holy light, and stood side by side with the stunningly beautiful woman.

The two nestled close together, seemingly having endless whispered secrets to share, their eyes brimming with tenderness and affection.

The man was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips that were both firm and gentle. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding a free and unrestrained yet calm and reliable temperament.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, lips like cherries, and a cascade of black hair that draped casually over her shoulders. Every smile and frown exuded endless charm and liveliness.

Standing together, they looked like a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, inspiring envy in everyone who saw them.
