Chapter 25: Beiyang Crown Prince, You Understand the Ten-Breath Rule
Seeing Lin Qi’an’s imposing arrival, the Southern Python Guards sneered.
Earlier, Crown Prince Zhao had specifically instructed them that if he attempted to enter the secret realm, they should block him without giving any face.
The Nanyue King, being a prince with the same surname as the imperial family, was the emperor’s brother! Why should they fear Beiyang?
The Sword Emperor might be powerful, but his fame had been established three thousand years ago! Over these millennia, countless prodigies had emerged, and the era of the Sword Emperor’s dominance had long passed.
Otherwise, why would he have willingly remained in the north for so many years, only doing things like seizing treasures for his children, and never engaging in battles with other emperor-level experts?
“What’s going on here?” Lin Qi’an asked.
“Your Highness, it seems that the Southern Python Guards, the Nanyue King’s personal troops, are blocking the various sects from entering.”
“A Ziyou Holy Land elder tried to sneak in using a stealth technique but was discovered and killed on the spot. They are determined to monopolize the secret realm!”
After listening, Lin Qi’an nodded. Looking down, he quickly spotted the purple-dressed girl among the crowd, looking pitiful and tearful.
“Xuení, what’s your opinion?” Lin Qi’an asked.
“Me...?” Su Xuení was pleasantly surprised.
The Crown Prince was asking for her opinion and didn’t see her as an outsider!
“Xuení believes that since this area is the Nanyue King’s territory, they are clearly trying to reclaim face for the Imperial Prince by blocking you. If you force your way in, there will likely be a conflict.” She then smiled knowingly, her beauty captivating.
“However, it’s not in your nature to back down if they try to turn you away.”
“Beiyang Crown Prince, please halt!”
Finally, the two sides confronted each other. A general with a broadsword at his waist stepped forward, his aura robust, a Transcendent Realm expert!
“The Crown Prince orders that no one may enter Jiuwang Mountain. We, the Southern Python Guards, are here to enforce this. We hope the Beiyang Crown Prince will understand and leave.”
The speaker was Wei Ting, a battle-hardened general of South Yue!
He gestured for Lin Qi’an to leave, thinking his attitude was quite courteous. If it had been any other sect, they would have drawn their swords by now, not spoken so politely.
“Indeed, they’re even blocking the Crown Prince!”
This result was expected by most people. But they couldn’t predict what would happen next.
The white-clad Crown Prince smiled.
“I give you ten breaths to get out of my sight.” His tone was calm but extremely domineering!
Hearing this, gasps spread across the mountain range. The Beiyang Crown Prince was indeed domineering!
Wei Ting’s face darkened, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword, his voice thundering.
“Beiyang Crown Prince! This is Nanyue territory. I hope you recognize the situation and don’t make a mistake!”
Lin Qi’an stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly: “Ten. One.”
“Time’s up. I gave you a chance.”
“Kill.”
