Chapter 816: Chapter 577: Who is the True Lord of Nanhong_2

"But..."

His five fingers clenched tightly around the scabbard. Three inches of flickering light burst forth from within, and his smile receded, "Holding you off for a while is not a problem."

The South Dragon King fell into silence once again, offering no rebuttal but merely said in a low voice, "Go back and prepare. This time... Southern Hong will no longer have its Seven Sons."

The Seven Sons, connected in spirit, wasn’t solely about the seven Sect Masters but also about the sacred land of their Union Dao.

In this gathering of all seven, it was certain to help Ye Jiu momentarily step beyond the last threshold, reaching the pinnacle of the Heaven Realm.

Similarly, leveraging external forces to reach this boundary, even if the South Dragon King lasted longer than the other party, neither could do anything to each other when Ye Jiu had no intention to fight to the death.

As the last word fell, the dragon arm slowly retracted, leaving behind a gaping hole amidst the devastation.

Ye Jiu dispelled the Dao Sword in his hand and returned to Shen Yi’s right side.

He took a quiet glance at Sect Master Shen, a trace of barely noticeable surprise flitting across his eyes. The other’s strength was much greater than he had imagined. Though still somewhat naive, considering he had soared to this boundary in such a short time was still enough to be shocking.

Moreover, aside from strength, the composure and calm he exhibited in the face of the South Dragon King perfectly matched Ye Jiu’s expectations for the Sect Master of Nanyang.

A true sun should always shine brightly!

The preciousness of such a temperament was in no way inferior to the other’s startling talent.

As for the South Dragon King’s threat... it almost seemed as if bowing and acting submissive would spare the South Hong Seven Sons, his ambition was glaringly obvious. It was merely a matter of sooner or later.

"..."

The Ke Family Crown Prince bent down to pick up a piece of rag, clenched it in his palm, and gently sniffed it near his nose.

Taking in the fresh scent of blood, he then looked up at Shen Yi.

His hunch was correct. The resurgence of the Nanyang Sect signified that the South Hong Seven Sons were planning a rebellion. These cultivators had forgotten the beatings they once received and were now trying to stand upright again.

Facing the gaze of the Ke Family Crown Prince, Shen Yi met his eyes quietly: "Is there... anything else you need me to do?"

For some reason, everyone present heard a hint of expectation in his words and couldn’t help but look on with strange expressions.

At this, the Ke Family Crown Prince fell silent for a moment, lightly removed the imperial crowns from his head, and then carelessly tossed them onto the ground, chuckling self-deprecatingly: "No, there isn’t."

What the imperial crowns concealed was a face that was ferocious yet aged.

This "test" made him see a lot of things clearly; at least without using his father’s power, and with Qi Zhaoyi, the useless helper who couldn’t be summoned for assistance, he couldn’t touch the South Hong Seven Sons at all.

His father also saw this situation clear and even witnessed how he killed his own brothers. The last words the victim left were representing his claim to the ruler of the Southern Dragon Palace.

A Dragon King intervening could influence far greater powers, and once moved, he would do so with the intent to utterly eradicate the Seven Sons.

His father was even too lazy to entangle with the Seven Sons here any longer, to engage in a power struggle wasting energy – such was the heaviness of his killing intent.

This was not a situation the younger generation could lead any longer.

With that statement from the Ke Family Crown Prince, he declared the end of this banquet.

His abandonment of the imperial crowns also symbolized his relinquishing any thoughts of succeeding the Dragon Cave, instead becoming a contented general under his father’s command.

The Southern Dragon Palace had been at ease for too long, until at this very moment, it finally felt a profound sense of crisis.

The numerous Dragon Demons slowly withdrew to the sides, not daring to make any sound.

Qi Zhaoyi stood in place, his face changing unpredictably. It seemed as if this had nothing to do with him, yet it had completely disrupted his original plans.

To think, the woman at home was on friendly terms with the Seven Sons. If the South Hong Seven Sons truly managed to rise again, he could forget about turning his life around.

"Alright."

Although Shen Yi felt some disappointment, he didn’t linger on it.

Provoking the Southern Dragon Palace had achieved its purpose, and the Alliance Sect had already made a clear stand. That old dragon could tolerate even this situation, so provoking further was meaningless. The other party was definitely not leaving this place.

If possible, he would have liked to clear out all the Dragon Demons within this hall.

Combining them all, it was even possible to forcibly push Ke Shisan to the late stage of the Heaven Realm.

However, the strength the South Dragon King had shown earlier dissuaded Shen Yi from such thoughts... Borrowing strength is one thing, but to drag several Sect Masters of the Alliance Sect into a life-or-death crisis, even leading to a few deaths in these waters, was not something he could do.

They didn’t owe him anything, after all.

And even if he could summon several Hall Masters to join forces and severely injure the South Dragon King, but without a way to truly kill him, it wouldn’t be a good situation for Shen Yi.

Immortals might be indifferent to many things, but this old dragon was responsible for helping them oversee the South Flood Land’s aura. Should it get injured, it would certainly draw the attention of the immortals.

If they were to fight, they had to ensure a decisive kill.

Then have Ke Shisan, who also possessed a strong bloodline, temporarily replace the South Dragon King to stabilize the Dragon Cave, making it convenient for Shen Yi to figure out how to completely control the power of this land.

This was the only way out Shen Yi could see.

The harvest for the day was already sufficient.

With that in mind, Shen Yi casually picked up the corpse of the second prince, stowed it in the Finger Ring, and then stepped towards the exit of the hall.

His action, however, made the multitude of Dragon Demons, who had struggled to suppress their rage, lift their heads in astonishment, then they widened their eyes in furor.
