Chapter 812: Chapter 576: Battle with the Heaven Realm Dragon Demon, Summoning the Dragon King to Emerge

The grand hall, once dead silent, echoed now with only the ragged breathing of the Ke Family Crown Prince, which rose and fell like the rumbling of thunder.

Shen Yi’s current actions, if taken in the Immortal Sect, would be akin to slaughtering someone’s Daozi and then slapping their head on the face of another Sect Master.

The Sect Masters were sitting quietly, but their robes were slightly fluttering. This was a sign of mobilizing their breath.

Even they had not anticipated that this feast would end before it even began.

Since entering the hall, every move made by Sect Master Shen had surpassed the imaginations of others.

It seemed that in his eyes, the Southern Dragon Palace was not as untouchable as the Seven Sons, but something that could be bullied at will.

But obviously, the Ke Family Crown Prince did not share this view.

After a moment, the aging Dragon Demon slowly stood up straight. He stared indifferently into Shen Yi’s eyes, his previously heavy breathing subdued, as he nodded gently and responded softly, "Indeed, that’s it."

He turned around to face the Sect Masters of the South Hong Seven Sons. His emotions quickly settled back into calmness as he seriously said, "No wonder everyone gathered today at my Southern Dragon Palace, being so frank, you must already have prepared an explanation for my palace."

As soon as he spoke, even Qi Zhaoyi looked over in some surprise.

Being a mighty Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace, could he really endure this much?

The Sect Masters exchanged glances without responding but directed their uniform gaze towards Shen Yi seated in the place of honor.

Since he had taken such actions, he must have had some plans in mind.

The South Hong Seven Sons were humiliated and forced to retaliate. No matter where the argument went, they were in the right and had not broken the agreement the Eastern Dragon King had made with other powers.

But now, by providing the evidence for others, the Ke Family presented such a reasonable posture. Although it seemed to give the initiative to the South Hong Seven Sons, it actually made the situation quite thorny.

"Huff."

The Ke Family Crown Prince let out a long breath, his facial expressions shifting unpredictably beneath his Imperial Crowns, "What do you all mean by your silence? Killing my clansman for no reason, don’t you owe my palace an explanation?"

He did indeed want to take down the Seven Sons of Nanhong, but not in such a passive manner, not in a hasty battle within the Southern Dragon Palace.

With the appearance of Qi Zhaoyi and the Western Dragon Palace’s stance yet to be clarified, there was still much aid he could muster. Today was merely a probing attempt.

To speak frankly, even if with his father’s support they managed to leave a few of the Sect Masters of the South Hong Seven Sons behind,

could that body, tantamount to the condensed Essence of Heaven and Earth Precious Medicines, end up in his mouth? Struggling desperately, ultimately to further his father’s prospects and continue being a Crown Prince in name only, serving as the nominal Lord of Southern Hong?

Only by drawing Qi Zhaoyi fully into Southern Hong’s muddy waters, and involving the Western Dragon Palace, could he use the power of Western Hong to slay the South Hong Seven Sons and reap the greatest benefits.

What he needed to do now was to firmly hold onto the Sect Master of Nanyang.

Turn the grievances between the Southern Dragon Palace and the Seven Sons into a grudge between his Ke Family and the Nanyang Sect.

As everyone knows, the Southern Dragon Palace is the most reasonable!

Just like the last time, when the seventh nephew ambushed the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Daozi, in a disadvantaged position, the sixth brother could only look on as his wife and children were slaughtered and his entire family destroyed.

It can’t be that the Southern Dragon Palace follows rules, and the Seven Sons can do as they please.

If they truly act so arrogantly, there would be plenty of forces willing to suppress this power trying to re-emerge without the need for the Southern Dragon Palace to take action.

"..."

Ji Jingxi evidently saw through the thoughts of the Crown Prince, who clearly wanted to incite the discontent of the other Sect Masters towards Shen Yi. After all, he had not consulted with anyone.

This paltry skill was rather ineffectual, but it sure was noisy.

The banquet might as well end here.

With this in mind, she slowly stood up, intending to say something, but then she saw Shen Yi still reclining lazily on the throne, gently shaking his head.

Ji Jingxi fell silent for a moment, not understanding, but she sat back down anyway.

Ye Jiu looked curiously at Shen Yi, wanting to know how he would respond to the Ke Family Crown Prince’s challenge. As Heavenly Sword Sect Master, he, Ye Jiu, detested such verbal disputes, which used to be handled by Old Qin.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Shen Yi sat up slightly, looking down at the many Dragon Descendants below, their faces filled with humiliation and eyes blazing with killing intent.

He tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of the throne, glanced casually at the Ke Family Crown Prince, and said with a clear voice, "Whatever explanation you want, I’ll give it to you."

His tone was quite normal, but the hint of condescension made the response seem almost like a grant of favor.

"Heh—"

Underneath his splendid attire, the broad shoulders of the Ke Family Crown Prince trembled imperceptibly.

Hidden beneath his sleeve, his Dragon Claw clenched tightly.

This junior, relying on the protection of Ye Jiu and Ji Jingxi, and on the empty reputation of the Nanyang Sect Master, did not regard the Southern Dragon Palace at all during their first encounter.

Did he really think it was still one hundred thousand years ago?

"Then... I shall thank the Sect Master of Nanyang in advance,"

With the Imperial Crowns drifting open, the Ke Family Crown Prince cracked a smile, his back to the others, emitting a hoarse, low laugh.

His vicious eyes slowly swept over his kin, and suddenly he bellowed, "A blood debt must be paid with blood, the supreme law of heaven and earth. Who is willing to reason with the Sect Master of Nanyang on this principle, disregarding life and death, to avenge our fallen on behalf of the Dragon Palace!"

"Anyone?!"

Within this roar, many of the Dragon Descendants instinctively avoided eye contact.

Elder Ke Si, the Dragon Descendant, wished he could completely hide behind others, and as for the youngest of the Dragon Princes, although his eyes were bloodshot, he could only stand resentfully in place. With strength just comparable to White Jade Capital, he simply had no right to be involved in this affair.
