Chapter 1034: Chapter 134 Do You Know Our Identity?
The experts clad in purple battle armor were indeed high-ranking practitioners from Hantian Palace.
Leading them was the Son of Hantian Palace, whom the Dragon Nation Emperor had spent a fortune in Heaven and Earth Treasures to invite.
The Son of Hantian Palace, mounted on a Purple-Patterned Demon Tiger, looked around with a haughty expression, like a supreme monarch, gazing down upon the excited, shouting Dragon Nation disciples.
"These country bumpkins, just hearing that Senior Brother has arrived gets them this agitated," a young man beside the Son of Hantian Palace said with a light chuckle.
This young man was none other than Lin Kang, the junior disciple of the Son of Hantian Palace.
"That shows that Senior Brother’s fame has even shaken this backwater place like the Dragon Nation," another junior disciple, Shi Liqing, laughed.
Son of Hantian Palace, Qiu Dong, spoke up, "What a pity, it’s become difficult for the Dragon Nation to produce another figure like Ao Xu."
He knew a bit about the history of the Dragon Nation; in the ancient times, it was more than just a force that shook the Heavenly Master Continent.
"In a few days, when the Medicine Country holds the Pharmacist Competition, with Senior Brother’s alchemy talent, he’s certain to take one of the top three spots," Lin Kang said with a smile.
The Medicine Country was one of the most powerful empires on the Heavenly Master Continent, renowned throughout for their alchemy prowess.
"Indeed, our Senior Brother’s alchemy talent has even earned high praise from the Green Sea Medicine Ancestor," Shi Liqing boasted. "Senior Brother can now refine the Emperor Extreme Pill of the second heavenly tribulation, right?"
Hearing this, Son of Hantian Palace, Qiu Dong, replied, "I am currently attempting to refine the Emperor Extreme Pill of the third heavenly tribulation!"
"Third heavenly tribulation Emperor Extreme Pill!" Lin Kang exclaimed in surprise, then joyfully said, "If Senior Brother can refine the third tribulation Emperor Extreme Pill, then he will absolutely take first place in this Medicine Country Alchemy Competition!"
Shi Liqing and the other Hantian Palace disciples were also overjoyed.
As the disciples of Hantian Palace discussed the Medicine Country Pharmacist Competition, they rode past Yang Xiaotian and his companions on their Purple-Patterned Demon Tigers.
However, when Son of Hantian Palace, Qiu Dong, caught sight of Meng Bingxue beside Yang Xiaotian, he was momentarily stunned, and so were Lin Kang, Shi Liqing, and the rest of the disciples from Hantian Palace.
It wasn’t until they had moved far away that Son of Hantian Palace, Qiu Dong, and the others snapped out of their daze.
Qiu Dong suddenly turned back, seeing Meng Bingxue and Yang Xiaotian about to leave. Quickly mounting his Purple-Patterned Demon Tiger, he and the other Hantian Palace disciples approached Yang Xiaotian and Meng Bingxue, blocking their way.
Qiu Dong didn’t even glance at Yang Xiaotian or the other members of the Godslayer King’s group; his gaze settled on Meng Bingxue as he cupped his fist in greeting, "May I ask for the lady’s full name? You bear a striking resemblance to a friend of mine."
Seeing Qiu Dong block their path and then speak to Meng Bingxue in front of him, Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, "If you leave now, I can still let you go safely."
Qiu Dong and the other Hantian Palace disciples were taken aback.
Lin Kang glared at Yang Xiaotian, casting a glance at Deng Fang, who was dressed in the Elder’s brocade robe of the Star Dragon Sect, his eyes filled with icy murderous intent, "Boy, are you from the Star Dragon Sect? If you kneel down now, in consideration of your Ancestor’s face, I can let you crawl away!"
"How dare you!" As soon as Lin Kang finished speaking, suddenly, the second of the four demons of the Guichi spouted Demonic Qi that reached the sky, bellowing loudly. Instantly, Heaven and Earth trembled violently, and a terrifying force exploded.
Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and all the other Hantian Palace disciples were blown away.
The Purple-Patterned Demon Tigers they rode were also thrown into the air, crashing into the distance.
The Godslayer King, the Red-Haired Old Demon, and the first of the four demons from the Guichi gazed at Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the other Hantian Palace disciples with murderous intent.
Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others, who were blown away, crashed into nearby buildings, spewing blood continuously, their looks filled with shock and horror as they stared at the second of the Guichi demons, and more with fury.
Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others struggled to rise from the ground.
Lin Kang touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, staring at the second of the Guichi demons with both shock and anger, "Do you know who we are? We are the Core Disciples of Hantian Palace, and my Senior Brother is the Son of Hantian Palace!"
"You, a mere Star Dragon Sect, dare to!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, suddenly, the leader of the Four Ghostly Demons issued a roar, "Kneel down!" Boundless demonic aura converged into an invisible Demon Mountain, abruptly crashing down upon Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others.
Instantly, all the disciples of Hantian Palace sunk down, kneeling on the ground.
No matter how frantically Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others circulated their Divine Power, they couldn’t straighten their bodies, let alone stand up.
Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others roared in anger, their eyes blood-red as they glared at Yang Xiaotian and the few members of the Four Ghostly Demons.
They had never imagined that a mere Star Dragon Sect would dare to treat them like this!
Usually, even the Dragon Nation Emperor Liang Jiang would show them exceptional respect in their presence.
"You’re all dead!" Lin Kang roared out to Yang Xiaotian and the others, "My master and the experts of Hantian Palace are right behind us, they’ll be here soon, and I’m going to make your deaths extremely ugly!"
Upon hearing this, the second of the Four Ghostly Demons let out a cold snort, his demonic aura intensifying. Qiu Dong and the others, who were originally kneeling on the ground, now had the ground beneath them shattered, sinking further down, their heads level with the surface.
Yang Xiaotian approached Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others.
Qiu Dong and Lin Kang looked at Yang Xiaotian with extreme fury, their eyes filled with a desire to crush him to death.
"Want to kill me?" Yang Xiaotian looked at Qiu Dong and the others indifferently, "I can give you a chance to strike, but don’t blame me for not warning you in advance, if you do strike, you won’t be kneeling anymore."
"It will be lying down!"
Lying down!
Yang Xiaotian and the Godslayer King and his group departed.
Qiu Dong and Lin Kang’s faces twitched with rage, clearly pushed to the limit.
The disciples of Dragon Nation who were originally excited to see the Son of Hantian Palace Qiu Dong and the others arriving were now dumbfounded, staring blankly at Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others sinking into the ground.
Although Yang Xiaotian and the others had left, the power of the second Ghostly Demon still oppressed Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others. They would have to wait awhile before they could get up, so they continued to kneel there.
At this moment, inside the Dragon Nation Imperial Palace, Liang Jiang was listening to Shen Yunhou report on the investigations of the Dark Cabinet over the past two days.
"You’re saying, the new Sect Master of Star Dragon Sect is only at the early stages of the Tenfold Divine King?" Liang Jiang was somewhat astounded.
He had thought that whoever could take control of the Star Dragon Sect must at least be at the peak of the Tenfold Divine Emperor, and yet it was only an early Tenfold Divine King.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Shen Yunhou cautiously replied, "The new Sect Master of Star Dragon Sect is indeed an early Tenfold Divine King."
"An early Tenfold Divine King, how did he become the new Sect Master of Star Dragon Sect?" Liang Jiang wondered.
With such cultivation, he couldn’t even become the chief disciple of the Inner Gate of Star Dragon Sect, could he?
"I am puzzled as well," Shen Yunhou shook his head, "However, the entire Star Dragon Sect seems to fear this new Sect Master greatly. The disciples of Star Dragon Sect refuse to speak about this new Sect Master."
So all they could find out was just this much.
"The Son of Hantian Palace, they should be arriving soon, right?" As Liang Jiang was about to ask, suddenly, he saw Shen Fenghou run in with a face full of panic, "Your Majesty, there’s a big problem, the Son of Hantian Palace and his group were beaten up by the people from Star Dragon Sect!" 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"What did you say?!" Liang Jiang’s mind thundered, "The Son of Hantian Palace? Beaten by the people from Star Dragon Sect?!"
