Chapter 439: Yin Killer Holy Son's Invitation, Zhuge Ruolan Plots Wangdu

"Black Dragon Hall Master, what do you mean?"

Jing Yuheng glared hostilely at the Black Dragon Hall Master before him, with several strong experts beside him, their strength not weak.

Each one is not weaker than Jing Yuheng; standing there, silent, they continually Protector with aura.

Attempting to make Jing Yuheng retreat, especially the two sinister-looking men beside the Black Dragon Hall Master, one with fair skin like a pretty boy, appearing non-threatening with a faint smile; that smile makes one feel stared at by a venomous snake. This person is the Vice Hall Master of the Black Dragon Guard, ranking above the Commander.

Besides the Black Dragon Hall Master, he is one of the highest-ranking people in the Black Dragon Guard.

The scar-faced man standing beside him is also a Vice Hall Master, named Azure Dragon; his aura is even more terrifying than the White Wolf Vice Hall Master's. The three of them standing here invisibly exert immense pressure on Jing Yuheng; even without attacking, knowing they won't move, you would instinctively retreat, giving rise to timid thoughts.

Jing Yuheng coldly regarded them, not retreating; the Black Dragon Guard behind him stepped forward in support, both sides measuring aura, neither yielding nor backing down.

"Vice Commander Jing Yuheng, do you know what you're doing?"

The Black Dragon Hall Master stepped forward, arriving before Jing Yuheng, his gaze sweeping over him, and said coldly: "I am the supreme commander of the Black Dragon Guard; you acted on your own, slaying Yin Wind True Person—isn't that…overly arrogant?"

Without reporting, he acted directly, even taking Black Dragon Guard personnel to kill.

The main point is that he succeeded, found Yin Wind True Person and killed him—a being even they could not locate—and Jing Yuheng, in a short time, managed to find and slay him.

The Black Dragon Hall Master naturally did not want him to enter the palace to report; this achievement belongs to the Black Dragon Guard, not to Jing Yuheng alone.

If she is allowed to pass, the Black Dragon Guard's power will eventually be split half to Jing Yuheng; given her temperament, it will soon affect his existence, even taking his position.

Black Dragon does not allow this to happen; the White Wolf Vice Hall Master and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master beside him share the same view, they block the way here, simply not wanting Jing Yuheng to enter.

"Without reporting, you acted directly—do you still have this Hall Master in your eyes?"

"Or do you, Vice Commander Jing Yuheng, think your strength has increased, allowing you to bypass this Hall Master?"

"Vice Commander Jing Yuheng, you ought to think carefully before acting."

The Black Dragon Hall Master stepped forward, his aura once again Protector.

Jing Yuheng's expression changed; she stared at……the Black Dragon Hall Master, her aura not weak in the slightest.

Moreover, she became even more overbearing; her attitude was likewise overbearing, unwilling to yield in the slightest.

"Black Dragon Hall Master, make way."

"And you lot, make way, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."

Jing Yuheng took out the token given by Qihuang, ordering them to leave.

The Black Dragon Hall Master's face turned grim; the two Vice Hall Masters behind him were the same.

With grim faces, they stared at Jing Yuheng; seeing that token, they dared not be negligent, bending over and bowing.

Seeing the token was like seeing Qihuang himself; within the palace, they dare not act recklessly.

Everything here is under surveillance.

Every move will be known to Qihuang.

"Go."

Jing Yuheng led the people inside; the Black Dragon Hall Master coldly stared at her back, the White Wolf Vice Hall Master and Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master following behind, coldly saying: "Black Dragon, this woman is overly arrogant."

The White Wolf's eyes turned cold, narrowing as killing intent condensed.

The Azure Dragon Vice Hall Master echoed: "Indeed, she truly thinks that as the Eldest Princess's attendant she can do as she pleases—ignorant."

The Black Dragon Hall Master said nothing, but stared into the palace.

Elsewhere.

Inside Wangdu.

In a dark corner, two people met.

Zhuge Ruolan looked at the person before her, displeased, saying: "Yin Killer Holy Son, are you going to attack?"

The Yin Killer Holy Son shook his head: "Zhuge Ruolan, you are a smart person; you know why I seek you—opposing us brings no good end."

"The Holy Son advises you to obediently lower your head and become his woman; perhaps he will let you continue as the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, and in the future he will take you out of this world."

He reached out, inviting Zhuge Ruolan.

Zhuge Ruolan coldly stared at him, saying nothing; her gaze explained everything.

The Yin Killer Holy Son found it boring, yet he was not resigned.

"Zhuge Ruolan, you must understand: continuing to oppose us is a dead end."

"Yin Gui Zhenren is unsuitable as your backing; he himself struggles to survive, and the vast Yin Gui Sect has few of his close confidants."

"Why serve a powerless, strengthless Yin Gui Zhenren? Better to join us; whatever Yin Gui Zhenren can give you, we can give as well."

In his mouth, Yin Gui Zhenren is Yin Gui Zhenren, not his master.

Having left the Yin Gui Sect, their relationship is no longer that of master and disciple.

Rather, they are strangers, opponents, enemies.

The Yin Killer Holy Son holds high hopes for Zhuge Ruolan; he has always favored this woman, wanting her to become his woman and help him control the Yin Gui Sect, so that the sect will then be theirs.

"Yin Killer Holy Son, aren't you afraid the sect master will learn of your betrayal?"

"Traitors meet no good end."

"Such conduct by the Yin Killer Holy Son is not permitted in the Yin Gui Sect."

"It is also what the Yin Gui Sect members despise most."

"Hahaha, Zhuge Ruolan, you're still the same—overly clever."

"The old Yin Gui ghost himself can barely survive; merely staying alive is fortunate. What does it matter if the Holy Son betrays him? Even if he finds out, what can he do?"

"Once this succeeds, what is Yin Gui Zhenren worth?"

"Zhuge Ruolan, don't you know? The Yin Gui Sect is no longer his Yin Gui Sect."

"Come, join us, become one of us; I will lead you to a higher realm."

Zhuge Ruolan turned and left, not wanting to get too entangled with him.

This time, she came to Wangdu simply to get a share of the pie.

Here is the gathering place of battle, and also her place of advancement.

Opportunity lies in Wangdu.

Zhuge Ruolan, you will soon kneel at the feet of this Holy Son.

Yin Killer Holy Son coldly stared at Zhuge Ruolan's back, shaking his head.

This woman remains as arrogant as ever.

Soon, she will no longer be able to stay arrogant.

Grand Prince's mansion.

Qimingtian coldly stared at Sima Da, his eyes icy, filled with killing intent.

"Did you have someone kill my sixth younger brother?"

Sima Da shook his head: "Your Highness, you are mistaken; this time I did not lift a hand—it was those people of the Yin Gui Sect who did the killing."

"The death of the Sixth Prince will cause turmoil in Wangdu; His Majesty is already old—this time, I expect he will..."

Sima Da did not say the rest.

To hasten this process, killing a few princes is not unacceptable.
