"Shameless!"

Inside the Spiritual Chain Cage Array, Zhong Ling gritted her teeth, staring intently at Xiao Tian's back.

"His Majesty must be blind to have chosen a spineless man like you!

She keeps all the good things for you, goes out of her way to protect you, and this is how you repay her?"

Liang Shou, prompted by Zhong Ling's words, snapped back to reality, a terrifying smile spreading across his scarred face.

He patted Xiao Tian's shoulder affectionately, "Fool, the prince here knows how to adapt to the times, a smart man's approach.

You think everyone is like you, and those fools like your mother, still can't see the situation of the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Zhong Ling clenched her fists, remaining silent, her heart sinking to the bottom.

Liang Shou wasn't wrong; the Great Yan Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles, teetering on the brink.

Now even the Bloodcloud Pavilion was getting involved...

"I've taken the poison, explained everything, can I leave now?"

Xiao Tian's calm voice interrupted Zhong Ling's thoughts.

"Of course, Your Highness, please feel free." Liang Shou gestured to the side with a hand.

But Xiao Tian didn't move, instead raising his hand to point at Zhong Ling beside him, "Let her leave with me, otherwise it will arouse suspicion. She can take the poison."

This foolish girl had gotten herself into trouble to save him; Xiao Tian couldn't just ignore it.

"Don't pretend to be kind, I don't need your help!" Zhong Ling shouted angrily, feeling humiliated by Xiao Tian's words.

Xiao Tian ignored the stubborn girl's outburst, silently looking at Liang Shou.

Liang Shou also looked at Xiao Tian, a faint smile playing on his lips, "That's not possible. I have a grudge against this little wench and want to settle it."

"..." Xiao Tian was silent for a moment before speaking again, "If you don't agree, I won't do it."

His words left everyone stunned.

They clearly couldn't understand why Xiao Tian, who had been so cooperative earlier, suddenly became stubborn.

"Are you threatening me?" Liang Shou's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone unfriendly.

Xiao Tian shook his head, "It's not a threat, just a suggestion. If I return unharmed and Zhong Ling, who secretly protects me, goes missing, it will easily raise suspicion and hinder the plan.

I'm also aiming for the plan to succeed perfectly, to get the antidote and save my own life.

Let's be reasonable. If you don't agree, the risk is too high for me, and my life could be in danger.

Either way, it's death, so I might as well die here."

Zhong Ling frowned, looking at Xiao Tian, suddenly unable to understand him.

You'd think he was afraid of death, but from start to finish, he maintained a calm demeanor.

An ordinary person, in this situation, was actually arguing with Liang Shou?

"Is that so? Then you can wait here to die from the poison." In response to Xiao Tian's words, Liang Shou wore a faint smile.

Xiao Tian's expression stiffened slightly, preparing to speak again, "Let's calm down, don't be petty, think carefully about my..."

"If you can't speak, shut up. The boss gave you face, and you're being ungrateful?" The assassin who had previously captured Xiao Tian cursed.

He stepped forward, reaching out to grab Xiao Tian's hair.

At the same time, he punched towards Xiao Tian's abdomen.

Inside the Spiritual Chain Cage Array, Zhong Ling couldn't understand Xiao Tian either, "You're reasoning with the enemy, who would listen to you? Now you're in trouble, right?"

However, Xiao Tian's foolishly naive approach made Zhong Ling's impression of him improve slightly.

She guessed that Xiao Tian's cooperation might have another reason.

Perhaps he planned to escape first, then return to the Imperial City to discuss countermeasures with His Majesty to detoxify?

The more Zhong Ling thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, looking up worriedly at Xiao Tian.

The prince was just an ordinary person, with no cultivation, could he withstand the beating?

But when Zhong Ling looked up, she was stunned.

The prince Xiao Tian, whom she thought was an ordinary person, stood unmoved after taking a direct punch to the abdomen from the Bloodcloud Pavilion assassin.

Why?

The assassin was also dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Tian, who tilted his head to dodge his hand.

At that moment, a cold voice filled with terrifying killing intent echoed in everyone's ears.

"I tried to talk to you nicely, but you wouldn't listen, insisting on getting physical?" Xiao Tian's previously calm face turned icy, his pupils flashing with a crimson glow.

"And besides... I hate it when people touch my hair!!!"

Xiao Tian's furious punch suddenly blasted out, instantly obliterating the nearby Bloodcloud Pavilion assassin.

A Fifth Tier Sky-breaking Realm expert was simply evaporated.

Boom boom boom!!!

Xiao Tian's angry punch not only evaporated the assassin but also unleashed a violent force like a hurricane, tearing up the valley floor.

The twisted fist force carved a trench on the ground like a riverbed, its residual power crashing into the nearby mountain wall.

The originally dim valley suddenly brightened.

Because the mountain wall was blasted open by the fist force, creating a huge hole.

Sunlight poured through the massive hole, illuminating Xiao Tian and the others like holy light.

"Why?" Xiao Tian shook his head, suddenly slapping to the side.

The violent gust instantly turned the other two assassins into a mist of blood.

The palm wind, like an invisible tidal wave, uprooted a series of trees nearby.

On the other side, a towering mountain leaned and tilted due to Xiao Tian's palm wind.

"I just want to be a carefree prince, living a leisurely life.

I've been speaking nicely to you, cooperating with you.

I reasoned with you, proposed a very reasonable suggestion, why wouldn't you listen?

I decided not to make a move anymore, to be kind, why did you force me to act?"

Xiao Tian lowered his head, looking down at Liang Shou, who was already collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, in Liang Shou's eyes, the figure before him wasn't human at all.

But a demon, shrouded in a tangible aura of bloodthirsty killing intent!

Before him, it was as if a crimson sea of blood surged forward, choking his throat, unable to breathe.

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please spare me."

At this moment, Liang Shou's face, once fierce, was filled with panic, tears and snot running down his face.

Below, a yellow liquid seeped out.

He was scared to the point of wetting himself!

Xiao Tian didn't answer him, just silently gazed at him, releasing his aura.

Kneeling on the ground, Liang Shou was terrified to find his body disintegrating, reaching out to grab Xiao Tian.

But before he could touch Xiao Tian, he turned to ashes.

In this world, leaving no trace behind.

Xiao Tian retracted his aura, turning with a sullen expression.

Standing inside the Spiritual Chain Cage Array, Zhong Ling was already trembling in fear...

Σ(oﾟдﾟoﾉ)

Especially when she saw Xiao Tian walking over, reaching out towards her, she shivered all over, crouching down with her head in her arms.

"Spare me, Your Highness, Zhong Ling knows she was wrong, please don't kill me..."

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound echoed, and Zhong Ling cautiously raised her head.

The Spiritual Chain Cage Array that confined her was as fragile as paper in Prince Xiao Tian's hands.

Moreover, he looked at her with a disdainful expression.

"Are you an idiot?"
