Seeing the woman in his arms spaced out with a dazed look, as if she were frightened silly, Gu Yang couldn’t help but say in his mind, “Such mental strength, she’s even worse than Qingzhi.”

Back in the day… No, that’s not right, it was just a few months ago. Su Qingzhen was captured by mountain bandits but was still able to play along with them. Compared to this woman, Qingzhi is both brave and resourceful.

Indeed, one can only understand a person through comparison.

After a short moment of confusion, Pei Qianlan finally realized what had happend. He had mistaken her for the daughter of Jinghai King.

She barely moved her mouth, as if to explain something. However, before she could speak, she seemed to think of something and swallowed her words.

Resting her cheek on his chest, she heard his strong heartbeat and felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

At this moment, Pei Qianlan closed her eyes and temporarily forgot about avenging her parents’ death, about everything else.

She only wished that this journey would never come to an end, that she could continue down this path forever.

Boom!

In front of the prince’s bedroom, a figure broke through the door, causing a pit to form in the tiled floor.

The person inside the pit stood up, wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth, and stared at the person outside the courtyard in astonishment, exclaiming, “Red Flame Divine Power, are you the Saint Child of the Red Venerate Sect?”

The man outside the courtyard was covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of enchanting eyes. He said in a deep voice, “Your training by the Jinghai King is indeed commendable. You’ve forced me to use the Red Flame Divine Power, you should be proud.”

Seeing his confession, Xiao Yue’s heart sank more and more.

The Red Venerate Sect is one of the six major sects, infamous for stirring up rebellions and waging wars every hundred years or so.

Despite being suppressed every time, they always resurge within decades, proving impossible to eradicate.

This sect acts recklessly, not caring about the consequences. Regardless of whether it belongs to one of the nine great families, or any of the Five Major Sects, anyone they target is subject to slaughter.

The last rebellion of the Red Venerate Sect happened seventy years ago, and it originated precisely in Jingzhou.

Back then, the imperial court slaughtered the entire sect in order to eradicate them completely, nearly wiping out the whole population of Jingzhou.

The present population of Jingzhou has been replenished by immigrants from other regions.

Now, after only seventy years, the Red Venerate Sect has reappeared, attacking the Jinghai King’s mansion, and what’s more, it’s the Saint Child himself who’s taken action.

In the Red Venerate Sect, the Saint Child ranks among the top five, and the Red Flame Divine Power is their signature technique.

The man in the black robe before her has already reached the peak of the First Rank, and is ominously close to the First Rank list. His power is so immense that even a joint attack from her and Feng Ziyuan would not suffice.

Now that King is not present in the mansion, there’s no one left to resist.

The Saint Child said, “Today, I have come for that Divine Sword. If you hand it over, I can spare your lives.”

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yue knew it wouldn’t end well. Using her spear for support, she stood up with much difficulty, placed the long spear horizontally in front of her, and said, word by word, “Impossible!”

Ever since the prince returned, he had been unconscious.

She had specifically invited the old master to take a look. He said that the reason why the prince was unconscious was due to the sword. Whether this was a blessing or a curse remained unknown.

But there was one thing. The divine sword could not be forcibly taken away from the prince’s hand, otherwise, his life would be in danger.

The Saint Child of the Red Venerate Sect wanted to steal that sword, which would mean taking the prince’s life.

Xiao Yue, in this moment, had no other option than to fight to the death.

The man in the black robe retorted with a cold voice, “Then, die.”

His aura changed at that moment, and a terrifying force surged into the sky.

Since his identity had already been exposed, he no longer had to hide his true strength and used all his might.

Without moving his body, he threw a punch in the air.

The air itself seemed to have been set on fire.

Xiao Yue felt an extremely horrifying high temperature flooding towards her, like an invisible flame.

“Ha!”

She gave a loud shout, gathering the last bit of her True Essence, and lunged with the spear in her hand.

Crack——
