Chapter 64 Retreat!
Ming Gonggong looked on in deep pain as his feather duster was destroyed.
It was the most valuable item in his possession.
Without this feather duster, Ming Gonggong's strength would likely diminish significantly.
Emperor Ming Tian's face darkened as he watched this scene.
Hong Ying's power surpassed his expectations.
He had brought Ming Gonggong here with absolute certainty.
After all, in the Southern Region's Hidden Dao Academy, the strongest was Yang Xu.
His strength was beyond Ming Gonggong's capabilities!
Who would have expected another Hong Ying to emerge?
In the rear, the elders of each hall were astonished.
It was their first time witnessing Hong Ying's true strength.
His cultivation in the Early Qianyuan Realm had already amazed them.
But to suppress someone like Ming Gonggong, ranked in the top ten of the Four Domains Martial Ranking, who was in the Late Qianyuan Realm, with Early Qianyuan Realm strength?
It was unheard of to them!
Yang Xu nodded, sighing, "Truly, the student surpasses the master. With such a disciple in our academy, rising to prominence is inevitable."
Then Yang Xu turned to the elder of the Sword Hall and asked, "Who is her master?"
The elder of the Sword Hall hesitated for a moment before answering, "Grass Hall's, Lu Changsheng."
"Grass Hall?"
Yang Xu's thoughts seemed to return to a long time ago, then he suddenly realized, "Ah, someone from Grass Hall... No wonder."
At this moment, Ye Qiubai also arrived beside Hong Ying.
Without turning her head, Hong Ying smiled, "Recovered?"
Ye Qiubai nodded, "Yes, thanks for letting me vent, Junior Sister."
Hong Ying shook her head, her expression serious, "Someone has come to provoke us at our doorstep. Naturally, we must act."
"So you'll take care of Ming Gonggong?"
Hong Ying nodded.
With that, Ye Qiubai brandished his sword and charged towards Emperor Ming Tian!
After several sneak attacks, Ye Qiubai was truly enraged!
Emperor Ming Tian snorted coldly and met him head-on without dodging!
His Late Qianyuan Realm cultivation was undeniable!
As a prince, how could he retreat at this moment?
Now, the Imperial Guards in the palace were slaughtered by the elders of each hall!
And the palace attendants were detained by others!
Now there was no one by Emperor Ming Tian's side.
This was an opportunity!
Ye Qiubai held nothing back, his sword intent soaring!
Sword qi transformed into giant swords, slashing towards Emperor Ming Tian!
Emperor Ming Tian snorted coldly and punched out!
His fist imprint carried a kingly aura, sweeping towards those giant swords!
Ye Qiubai shouted loudly, demonic energy covering his Dark Demon Sword!
Demon Nine Swords!
Sixth Sword!
Under Emperor Ming Tian's darkening expression, his fist imprint seemed powerless and shattered directly!
As Ye Qiubai's sword approached.
Emperor Ming Tian suddenly smiled.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai frowned slightly, but then his expression changed!
Beside him, a dark light flashed!
It shot towards Ye Qiubai's back!
It was an assassination!
An assassin who, when he strikes, never fails to kill!
After searching for many opportunities, now he finally struck!
But before that dagger could reach Ye Qiubai, it vanished!
Emperor Ming Tian frowned.
What happened?
Who intervened?
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai suddenly realized.
It was his master!
In the Grass Hall.
Lu Changsheng had long set up a barrier, preventing outsiders from probing the internal scene!
At this moment, before Lu Changsheng stood a man dressed entirely in black!
The man looked at Lu Changsheng in horror and exclaimed, "Who are you?"
The force just now seemed to traverse space and seize him.
There was no chance for resistance!
Such power was terrifying beyond measure!
Lu Changsheng stared at the man and said, "Speak, who are you, and which faction do you belong to?"
Then he shook his head, "Forget it, let's just read your soul. I doubt you'll talk."
With that, under the terrified gaze of the man, Lu Changsheng's hand fell directly on the head of the man in black!
Instantly, the man's soul seemed to seep out from his crown!
That soul was filled with fear and agony!
Soul reading.
It would cause the soul to dissipate completely.
Unable to enter reincarnation!
The man's soul kept screaming, "I'll talk!"
But Lu Changsheng paid no heed and continued soul reading.
Streams of information flowed into Lu Changsheng's mind.
Before long, the man's soul completely dissipated.
Lu Changsheng lowered his head, looking at the lifeless man in black, shaking it with regret.
"Why didn't you speak earlier? Why didn't you?"
The birds nearby looked on with resignation.
Did you give him a chance to speak?
"Assassin..."
Lu Changsheng glanced towards the direction of the Northern Region, chuckled lightly, and said, "Let's go take a look."
With that, he disappeared from the spot!
As for the situation here, there was no need to worry anymore.
The tide of battle had completely turned.
Hong Ying fought Ming Gonggong, who could only defend passively!
The Reincarnation Spear Technique nearly caused Ming Gonggong to perish several times!
Ye Qiubai was engaged in a battle with Emperor Ming Tian.
Although his combat power was not high and his cultivation was unstable, he obviously relied on elixirs to rush forward.
However, he possessed many life-saving treasures.
Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards in the palace were completely slaughtered!
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Emperor Ming Tian's face darkened as he shouted, "Retreat!"
The dynasty's attendants stopped their actions and returned to Emperor Ming Tian's side.
Qin Tiannan and the others did not pursue.
Although they could hold back the opponents, they couldn't kill them.
After all, their strengths were evenly matched.
Emperor Ming Tian looked at Qin Tiannan with a grim expression and said, "Your Hidden Dao Academy is impressive."
Qin Tiannan smiled calmly and replied, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. With such disciples, naturally, we are doing well."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming Tian's blood surged.
Then he turned his head, glanced at Ye Qiubai, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you never leave the Hidden Dao Academy."
With that, Emperor Ming Tian stepped onto a ship, and the group left the Hidden Dao Academy!
Ye Qiubai turned around, clasped his fists in gratitude to Qin Tiannan and the others, "Many thanks to the Dean and the Elders."
Qin Tiannan walked forward, smiling as he patted Ye Qiubai's shoulder.
"You don't need to thank us. Since you're a member of the academy, we certainly cannot hand you over to the enemy."
"As for you, Hong Ying, your strength truly opened my eyes."
Hong Ying smiled faintly and returned to the Grass Hall.
Qin Tiannan didn't mind; he had seen Hong Ying's indifference towards others.
At this moment, Yang Xu also smiled and said, "Now, I can rest assured and close the academy for good. With such a disciple, how could we not flourish?"
Qin Tiannan sighed, "Old Yang, how certain are you?"
Yang Xu shook his head, "Only ten percent."
The others frowned with concern.
Ten percent?
That was almost a death sentence.
At this moment, a streak of light flew over.
Yang Xu instinctively caught it and opened it—it was a pill!
