Chapter 888: Chapter 605: Old and New Grudges Gather Together

Originally, Western Hong, which was closely guarded, seemed to have erupted into turmoil overnight!

All over the place, there were mysterious slaughters of the Dragon Palace Demon Soldiers, and all were committed brazenly, right under the public’s eyes, utterly disregarding the West Dragon King, the local ruler.

Before this news could even converge...

People suddenly discovered...

The skies had changed!

The turbulent aura between the heaven and earth, the dark and bleak clouds, and the faintly flickering thunder all seemed to proclaim that something significant was about to happen.

Many with powerful Cultivation finally broke out from their seclusion, silently observing the skies, then looked towards the depths of the water, horrified, and immediately ordered their sects to seal off mountains and close their gates.

At the same time.

In Western Hong, Dragon Palace Great Hall.

Qi Shengtao sat high on the throne, surrounded by guests on either side, while Qi Zhaowen, who had just reported the strange occurrences of the day, was waiting for his father’s response, curiously looking outside the hall.

It was as if he sensed something dreadful.

Qi Zhaowen’s face turned pale, he even began to tremble slightly. As the future Crown Prince, showing such instability, especially in front of many distinguished guests, was extremely unbecoming.

But at this moment, he had no time to worry about these things and turned back fearfully to look at his father, opening his mouth wanting to explain something.

"Where did they go?"

Qi Shengtao looked down, his eyes filled with a cold chill.

"They went... to Wanxiang Pavilion," Qi Zhaowen felt his throat dry, as if it was smoking.

"Who sent them?" Qi Shengtao asked again.

The hall was silent, Qi Zhaowen, rubbing his forehead, almost fainted, and after a long while replied faintly, "Replying to father, it was your son who ordered them to go... but, I had already sensed something wrong and sent a message to call them back..."

Before he could finish speaking, a wine cup flew from above and smashed heavily onto his face, and amidst the splashing wine, Qi Zhaowen didn’t even dare to wipe his face before he thudded to the ground, prostrating himself repeatedly saying:

"Your son deserves to die!"

"You indeed deserve to die." Qi Shengtao glanced at the guests on both sides, his expression returning to calm as he slowly hid his trembling hands into his sleeves.

Even though his heart was already surging like a storm, his pupils turning crimson, he absolutely could not reveal his true emotions in front of this crowd.

These people might not be as strong as him, but the powers behind them were more formidable one after the other.

And who knows if they came here to seek his help, or to scout the state of the West Dragon Palace under the guise and possibly take over this territory.

"Brother Shengtao, calm your anger."

Finally, two people stood up from the guests on the right, both dressed in dazzling yellow robes, exuding significance and carrying an unspeakably potent aura. Even in front of the West Dragon King, they appeared composed.

These two were among the top five Sub-sect Masters in terms of strength within the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect.

Their visit to Western Hong was specifically to find Situ Junrui.

"Now that it has already happened, instead of placing blame, it would be better to think about how to handle it," the person on the left, named Situ Fuhai, who was leading this mission, said.

"Zhaowen, please take a seat," the person on the right shook his head and released an aura to support Qi Zhaowen up.

"Thank you, Senior Shi."

As the West Palace Dragon Son, nearing the Late Stage of Heavenly Realm, Qi Zhaowen didn’t dare to act casually in front of this man and respectfully bowed again.

If it weren’t for these seniors from Northern Hong being present today, he would have had at least a layer of skin peeled off by his father.

"You have embarrassed us all," Qi Shengtao took a deep breath and leaned back into his throne.

Logically speaking, having one’s own son killed in Western Hong should have been an occasion for him, the Dragon King, to personally step in.

But a wave of worry surged in his heart.

This worry stemmed from his trust in Qi Zhaowen.

The West Dragon King believed that his son would never dare to deceive him. That meant the opposition truly had the intention to provoke and challenge Zi Xian, but upon realizing something was amiss, he immediately sent a message to stop them, then rushed to the Dragon Palace to report.

But the third and the sixth sons were still killed.

How much time had passed in between?

It was impossible that they were counterattacked upon receiving the message.

The West Dragon King’s fingertips clenched tightly; this could only mean that a group of villains had been hiding right under his nose without any signs, these Great Demons never left from the start...

But even he had not noticed any clues when he personally inspected Western Hong before.

Moreover, these were two Dragon Sons, comparable to the Heavenly Realm, not pigs to be slaughtered at will! To kill them as if it took no effort at all, so quickly that even the West Dragon Palace showed no reaction.

Even Qi Shengtao, who had survived many life-threatening calamities, felt a chill in his heart at this moment.

This was clearly a conspiracy targeting the West Dragon Palace!

"So, can you now tell me, who they were?" Qi Shengtao looked at Qi Zhaowen.

"Your son... I suspect it was..." Qi Zhaowen swallowed.

"It was Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s doing."

Just then, a clear voice interrupted him, as Zi Xian slowly stepped into the great hall under everyone’s gaze.

The guests on both sides slightly raised their eyebrows, clearly recognizing the identity of this distinguished woman.

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, they all bowed in unison.

"..."

Qi Shengtao silently looked down at Zi Xian, waiting for her to explain.

Zi Xian pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing her words, and when she looked up again, her statement plunged the entire hall into silence: "It also said, your life is wanted by its master, Western Hong and this land will belong to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall from now on."
