Chapter 169 – Domineering (1/2)
The Second Prince was about to stop Head Guard Huang, but he was still too late because the exasperated Head Guard Huang had already launched an attack towards Bao’er.
Right when his figure arrived 6m in front of Bao’er, a person suddenly appeared before Bao’er. That person waved his hand, and Head Guard Huang who was already a Spirit Realm expert had been instantly blasted flying.
It was none other than Bao’er’s Grandfather and Yang Ye’s master, Lin Shan!
Lin Shan glanced coldly at Head Guard Huang who’d been blasted flying, and then he said, “Who do you think you are to actually dare attack my granddaughter?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to look at the Second Prince and said, “Your Highness, Second Prince, I want to kill him. You don’t have any objections, right?”
The Second Prince naturally recognized Lin Shan, so he knew that he’d bit off more than he could chew. He immediately said, “So it’s Senior Lin Shan, it was my subordinate’s mistake for making a move against your granddaughter. Now, he’s heavily injured already. So, let us leave the matter at that, alright?” He would naturally not nod and say he has no objections because if he did that, then would anyone stand on his side in the future?
Lin Shan smiled coldly, and then he turned to look at Yang Ye and said, “Kid, kill him!”
The Second Prince’s expression turned grim when he heard this, and a strand of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Yang Ye smiled, and then his figure flashed to arrive before the heavily injured Head Guard Huang. With a flick of his sword, a head was instantly tossed into the air.
When he saw the head of his subordinate flying into the air, the Second Prince’s became extremely gloomy, and he said, “Senior Lin Shan, aren’t you being too disrespectful to my Grand Qin Empire?”
Lin Shan didn’t answer the Second Prince, and he looked at Yang Ye instead and said, “Tell me what happened earlier!”
Yang Ye nodded when he heard this, and then he described everything that occurred between Qing Hong’s group of three and the Imperial Guards.
Lin Shan laughed coldly when he finished listening to Yang Ye, and then he said, “Second Prince, it’s said that the rules of the Empire are strict. But I never expected that such people would appear beneath your rule. Moreover, not only did you not investigate the matter, you a.s.sisted the wicked instead and intended to protect your own subordinates by killing my disciple. Second Prince, don’t you think you should give me an explanation?”
“It’s merely a one-sided story!” The Second Prince spoke coldly.
“A one-sided story?” Lin Shan said, “Since it’s like that, then let us ask the people in the surroundings! Is anyone willing to step forward and describe the sequence of events of the incident? I’ll reward you with three mid-grade Strength Talismans and a single mid-grade Strider Talisman!”
The people in the surroundings were tempted when they heard this. It was four mid-grade talismans! However, even though they were tempted, none stood forward. After all, they weren’t idiots because they would have to utterly offend the Second Prince if they stood forward now!
“Five Strength Talismans and three Strider Talismans! Mid-grade!” Lin Shan raised the price.
Finally, an independent cultivator was unable to resist the temptation and stood forward, and he described everything that occurred earlier.
When he finished listening, Lin Shan waved his hand and eight talismans flew towards that independent cultivator!
“Thank you senior!” The independent cultivator bowed to Lin Shan, and then he ran away from the city without looking back. He would naturally not be stupid enough to stay in the city!
The Second Prince glanced coldly at that independent cultivator, and then he looked at Lin Shan and said, “Senior Lin, it was my oversight that caused this matter. But the two main conspirators are crippled and dead. So, let us leave the matter at that, alright?”
“That’s naturally for the best!” said Lin Shan.
The Second Prince nodded lightly, and then he glanced at Yang Ye and Bao’er before he turned around and left.
“Master, can these two friends of mine be saved!?” When he saw the Second Prince leave, Yang Ye hurriedly brought the heavily injured Man’zi and Xiao Hei over to Lin Shan.
Lin Shan took a glance at them before he shook his head and said, “They can live, but they can only be ordinary people in the future!”
A wisp of sorrow appeared in Qing Hong’s eyes upon hearing this. Because how could Man’zi and Xiao Hei accept becoming ordinary people in the future?
“Is there really no way to heal their Dantians?” Yang Ye was slightly unwilling to leave it like that. In the end, both of them had been reduced to this state because of him!
Lin Shan shook his head and said, “I’ve never seen anyone being able to recover from having his Dantian shattered into pieces. Kid, they’re extremely fortunate to be able to survive. With their const.i.tutions, they would at most be able to attain the First Heaven Realm or King Realm even if they remained as Profounders. Moreover, becoming an ordinary person may not necessarily be a bad thing!”
