398: The descendants of the emperor could not be killed.

The other Primordial Spirit powerhouses of Dao Asking Sect around them also slowly froze when they heard this, then shattered with a 'crack'.

It seemed that at this moment, even their Primordial Spirits had shattered into pieces, and their pupils were filled with indescribable shock!

Hmm?

Who?

They didn't mishear, did they? The... Second Prince of Great Zhou!

For a moment, Lu Bai's words stirred up a thousand waves in the hearts of Dao Asking Sect's many high-ranking members!

"It was just a simple skirmish, everyone, no need to worry."

Feeling the intense shock from those before him, Lu Bai nodded slightly and said softly. He was also very clear in his heart...

For the Elders of Dao Asking Sect, these few words meant immense pressure, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, or a mountain about to crumble.

However...

The subsequent scene was beyond Lu Bai's expectations.

"Sect Master... won?"

Yun Tianlan looked at Lu Bai, then his mouth slightly agape, the book in his hands trembling, seemingly unable to hold it steady.

"My! Good!ness! Our Sect Master beat the Second Prince of Great Zhou? What did this old man hear?"

Another Elder exclaimed even more, almost dancing with excitement for a moment—no, he was already dancing with excitement!

"According to rumors, this Second Prince is very likely to become the next Human Emperor! Far incomparable to the Princess Your Highness who came to the Eastern Region before. Such a figure was beaten by our Sect Master?"

Beating a Prince? To put it broadly, that's beating a future Human Emperor! Even during Dao Asking Sect's most prosperous period, they never achieved such a feat.

How awesome was this action?

The inexplicably excited crowd left Lu Bai speechless for a moment: "..."

This...

Why did it feel as if they had personally taken action against the Second Prince of Great Zhou?

Elder Ye also slowly recovered from his shock. He opened his mouth, wanting to remind Lu Bai of the importance of this matter, but he did not say anything.

It wasn't because of the scene before him, but because Elder Ye knew that Lu Bai had a sense of propriety. There must be a reason for him to act against the Second Prince of Great Zhou.

Therefore, there was no need to ask further.

"It's just..."

In a corner no one noticed, Elder Ye's eyes drooped, and he sighed softly in his heart, murmuring to himself.

"Unknowingly, it seems I've become entangled with Great Zhou again... This old man doesn't know how to face her..."

There are countless words in the world, but only the word 'love' made Elder Ye difficult to deal with. As for the Second Prince of Great Zhou...

If he was beaten, then he was beaten.

A short while later,

The ruined encampment was initially rebuilt, and after understanding the matter, the Elders of Dao Asking Sect also left with shock and joy.

In Lu Bai's ears, the exclamations of those Elders still lingered. Perhaps... this unconditional support from the Sect's high-ranking members was also a form of devotion.

"The future Human Emperor? The Princess Your Highness has no chance to contend?"

Lu Bai chuckled, seemingly not expecting the Second Prince of Great Zhou's reputation to be so resounding.

The next Human Emperor?

This title was too heavy. Lu Bai felt that this Second Prince of Great Zhou was not suitable at all.

"I, however, think that the Princess Your Highness is not without a chance to contend!"

...

In the Sect's temporarily constructed residence, a bell hung. If there was any further disturbance, Lu Bai only needed to activate it with spiritual power.

After a series of jingling sounds, Elder Ye and the others would form a siege. No matter who the newcomer was, they would first surround them and help Lu Bai beat them up.

Coming and going as they pleased, were they treating Dao Asking Sect's encampment like a brothel? Or even worse, the kind that didn't pay for their services!

Outrageous!

"Tun Tun, that aura... is it from the same origin as you?"

After seeing Zhou Ziqing's stats and fighting him, Lu Bai also noticed some anomalies, so he turned his head and asked his shoulder.

On his shoulder was a small, palm-sized, dark and cute creature, none other than our Demon Dog Lord!

"Awoo."

Since the Qingxuan Sect incident ended, Tun Tun had told Lu Bai about some anomalies it had detected in Qingxuan Sect.

With the pride of our Demon Dog Lord, it naturally wouldn't actively reveal this matter, but it was now at the Half-Saint Realm, and to progress further, its demand for resources reached a terrifying amount.

It had no choice but to compromise. In other words... no demon could resist the temptation of extra meals!

Tun Tun's petite body stretched. After a yawn, a wise light flashed in its eyes, and then it nodded again to confirm.

"Awoo!"

This demon is truly clever!

"Indeed..."

Lu Bai murmured. For the first time since becoming the Sect Master of Dao Asking Sect, a solemn expression appeared in his eyes.

That previous sword strike had confirmed some things for him.

Perhaps this Second Prince of Great Zhou was the first person Lu Bai had ever seen who so perfectly utilized the power of a "demon"!

The opponent was worthy of the title of Demon Cultivator. That power was by no means simply allowing "demonic power" to arbitrarily fill the body to achieve the effect of increasing strength and Realm.

And this Second Prince of Great Zhou's background and such attitude, his undisguised greed for the "Demon God Vein," and the Devouring Demon Hound's nod, made Lu Bai almost certain of one thing.

This Second Prince of Great Zhou should be the person behind Qing Xuanzi, and also... the mastermind behind the Qingxuan Sect incident in Qingxuan State.

"Hoo..."

Lu Bai slowly exhaled a turbid breath. The calmness in his eyes dissipated, and he no longer had the gentle demeanor he usually showed to fellow Sect members, gradually replaced by a cold killing intent.

The Emperor's offspring, he had not... tasted...

He could be killed!
