Chapter 902: Chapter 610 Sibling Conflict

"I, Xue Yan from Infinite Dao Emperor Sect... pay my respects to Prince Zi Yang..."

Xue Yan gasped for air, veins bulging on his neck, but still he tried hard to relax his clasped hands, using all his strength to perform a respectful bow.

The so-called circumstances can overwhelm a person; if Zi Xian had already married into Western Hong, counting as only half part of East Dragon Palace, then the status of the person before him was completely different. He could almost represent the entire attitude of Eastern Hong!

Apart from his noble status, although the Purple-Bearded White Dragon Clan was known for their benevolence, as a ruler, Prince Zi Yang might be the strongest in character among his people, even surpassing his father.

He was someone who truly might choose to kill in defense of the dignity of East Dragon Palace.

In the presence of Prince Zi Yang, Xue Yan no longer dared to leverage the authority of the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect. Both sides were forces of equal standing, and he, just a junior making his first appearance, would not lose face by bowing his head to save his own life.

"It is just that the Yue Family has suffered an ambush, among them was an old acquaintance of Elder Zi Xian. This incident is somehow related to Ten Thousand Demon Hall, and I merely wished to inquire about it to give the Yue Family an explanation, while also preventing those vicious culprits from plunging Hongze into a state where lives are devastated."

Feeling the pressure on his body lighten slightly, Xue Yan hurriedly finished speaking in one breath and maintained his bowing posture, lowering his head to wait for a response.

Prince Zi Yang slightly raised his eyes upon hearing the term "lives devastated" and finally turned his gaze slowly towards Zi Xian, asking gently, "Do you know that person?"

"I suppose I do."

Zi Xian sighed, "But it really has nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. He is the Cultivator whom the ninth of Qi Family brought to my birthday banquet; he had a conflict with the Bright Moon Frost Tiger Clan during the feast. After my mediation, their grudge was resolved, and that’s how we got acquainted. He also helped me save some face over some matters; I quite admire him."

...

Xue Yan, with his head still bowed, remained silent, but it was clear that he did not believe these words.

However, Prince Zi Yang had already withdrawn his gaze, speaking indifferently, "Did you hear that clearly?"

"I, I heard clearly," Xue Yan raised his head, forcing a smile, "So, it was just a misunderstanding; I shall..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Prince Zi Yang waved his hand slightly, and a milky-white radiance instantly enveloped Xue Yan. One after another, Magic Treasures along with the Storage Bag fell to the ground. Subsequently, the white light converged to a point and landed on Xue Yan’s chest, directly severing his connection to his treasures and sealing his Cultivation.

"I came to investigate matters concerning Ten Thousand Demon Hall, and until the investigation is complete, Western Hong shall be under East Dragon Palace’s jurisdiction. Any person from Infinite Dao Emperor Sect who comes here must be on standby and await orders. As for you, with your low cultivation, you should rest well here."

The Eastern Palace Crown Prince still maintained a calm demeanor.

He then slightly nodded his chin, "Take him away."

The demon soldiers, who had seen Prince Zi Yang for the first time, instinctively approached in the face of his unmaskable nobility. Even as Xue Yan glared at them with wide eyes, furious, the demon soldiers still tremblingly restrained him and dragged him away toward the mountainside.

...

Zi Xian averted her eyes slightly, lying to her brother for the first time and feeling inexplicably guilty.

Yet, for some reason, until it was clear what role Shen Yi played in this affair, she truly did not wish her brother to set his sights on him.

"Come in."

As if Prince Zi Yang had not noticed his sister’s unease, he gestured her inside and closed the door behind them.

Just after Zi Xian steadied herself, her face suddenly turned pale.

"After this is settled, come back home with me," Prince Zi Yang’s voice was no longer gentle, but rather strict.

"Why?!" Zi Xian looked at him incredulously. She had found it strange that her letters, describing the peculiarities of Ten Thousand Demon Hall, would summon her brother here.

"No reason; I have been against Father’s plan from the start."

Prince Zi Yang frowned and said emphatically, "We bear no grudge against the Immortals; it is the Southern Hong Seven Sects that have a feud with them. Certainly, it’s true that Zi Ling once betrayed Xuan Qing and harmed Nanyang Sect. However, there are many ways to make amends, such as supporting the Seven Sects again to restore them to their former position."

"It’s good for them, and for us."

"Do you understand?"

Saying this, Prince Zi Yang slowly clenched the armrest, containing his anger, "You are my sister and should not suffer such indignities. I cannot stand to watch."

"And Hongze? Leave it to those two sycophants to manage, turning it into such a lawless place, where might makes right, and the weak have nowhere to voice their grievances!" Zi Xian turned sharply, angrily declaring, "I can’t stand it either, I won’t go back!"

"You."

Seeing this, Prince Zi Yang sighed softly, releasing the armrest and explained gently, "You still don’t understand. An Immortal’s nature has nothing to do with good or evil; he is just negligent and unwilling to manage affairs. Since the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect and Northern Dragon Palace can act as those sycophants, then our East Dragon Palace can as well, and even better. When I enter the Dao Realm, we can slowly take control and govern this land and waters according to our vision."

"Sycophants?" Zi Xian became thoroughly agitated, turning around, her eyes red as she glared at her brother, "Have you forgotten how they turned another sister of yours into that vain creature, forcibly sending her to Immortal Court to be a mount for those so-called Immortals?"

The entire hall fell dead silent.

Prince Zi Yang stared into the void, then slowly turned his head to look at Zi Xian, his voice a bit hoarse, "You and Father believe that Zi Ling was deceived by the Hongze Immortal, regretting her decision later and turning into what we despise."
