Chapter 110: Canglan Mountain, the Kingdom of Spirit Beasts!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, today is the day the Space-Time Secret Realm ends, and also the day the various geniuses of our Great Jin Dynasty return to the outside world."

"Today is a joyous occasion for our Great Jin Dynasty, yet this Yin Zhong is speaking so recklessly at such a time."

"To want to kill my students without a shred of evidence—this is clearly showing no regard for the Imperial family!"

Li Yan's tone was filled with grievance and indignation.

And in just a few words, he managed to drag the Imperial family into the issue involving Yin Zhong.

Yet, when Luo Shuiyan and the other three standing behind Li Yan heard his words, they exchanged glances.

Others might not have evidence, but the Imperial family had evidence that was truly more than sufficient...

After all, in that Space-Time Secret Realm, Sima Changkong and the others had all seen it when they were hunting down Yin Kou.

It could be said that the Imperial Grandson, the Princess, and other members of the Imperial family all knew about this matter...

"It seems a great battle is unavoidable later; everyone, get ready."

Luo Shuiyan glanced at the four of them, and everyone immediately understood.

The spiritual power within each of them had already begun to circulate, and they were prepared for battle.

Jiang Che, meanwhile, kept his eyes fixed on Yin Zhong.

He prepared to catch the opponent off guard, release all his various skills at once, and take the life of this sinister old man first.

Afterward, if the situation looked bad, he would use Teleportation to take Luo Shuiyan and the other three and run away.

In any case, this world was not limited to just the Great Jin Dynasty; if it really came to it, they could just flee to another country...

At this moment, everyone in the great hall, upon hearing Li Yan's words, looked toward the Crown Prince.

Everyone wanted to see how the Crown Prince, Sima Qingtian, intended to handle this matter.

"Father..."

Sima Changkong had just wanted to speak when he was stopped by a look from the Crown Prince.

Just moments ago, Sima Changkong had already informed Sima Qingtian of everything that had happened in the Secret Realm.

After all, this matter concerned the Imperial Capital Yin Family and Tianque Academy, so he dared not hide anything.

Therefore, the Crown Prince was very clear that Yin Kou and the other from the Yin Family had clearly been killed by Luo Shuiyan and the other three.

At this moment, Sima Changkong was also feeling very conflicted and hesitant in his heart.

There was no need to mention Luo Shuiyan and the other three; they were all geniuses with infinite potential, and they would definitely become powerhouses of the Great Jin Dynasty once they grew up.

Furthermore, behind Luo Shuiyan, there was still Elder Guo.

With a Saint-level Beast Master acting as a protector, even if the Yin Family took action, it would be in vain.

Moreover, among the four was Hu Xiaoxiao, and the sect behind her was likewise not to be underestimated.

If the Xiaotian Sect were angered, even the Imperial family would likely be implicated.

If today's matter was not handled well, it might trigger a slaughter and cause turmoil within the Imperial City.

What's more, it might even cause the one at the very top of the Imperial family to be enraged and blame him...

After weighing the pros and cons, the Crown Prince made his final decision.

He looked up at Yin Zhong, his expression very dignified.

"Head of the Family Yin, what exactly happened in the Space-Time Secret Realm remains to be investigated."

"Without any factual basis, how can you make such reckless accusations regarding the deaths of Yin Kou and Yin Chang?"

"To even release killing intent here in this great hall and want to vent your anger on the students of Tianque Academy—what kind of decorum is this?"

The Crown Prince frowned slightly and reprimanded Yin Zhong with a stern expression.

To those who did not know the truth, the Crown Prince's way of handling this seemed very fair.

After all, one must have evidence for everything; Yin Zhong had no evidence, so even if he was the Head of the Family of the Imperial Capital Yin Family, he could not act wantonly.

Only Sima Changkong and the others standing beside the Crown Prince exchanged glances at this moment, feeling very surprised in their hearts.

He did not understand why his father, who clearly knew the truth, was deliberately pretending not to.

They were clearly eyewitnesses—there were over a dozen of them who had all seen with their own eyes what happened at the time. Of course, surprise aside, as descendants of the Imperial family, Sima Changkong and the others naturally knew what was important and what they should do in such power struggles.

The attitude of the Crown Prince, Sima Qingtian, meant their own attitude.

From now on, what happened in the Space-Time Secret Realm would have to rot in their stomachs; they must never speak of it to outsiders.

"What is this Crown Prince up to?"

"Sima Changkong and the others clearly already know what happened, so why is the Imperial family still pretending not to?"

"Could they still have some other conspiracy?"

Luo Shuiyan and the others whispered to each other. Having already prepared for a great battle, they were all quite surprised now.

They had not expected that this time, between the Imperial Capital Yin Family and them, the Crown Prince would actually stand on their side.

Under the Crown Prince's reprimand, Yin Zhong's complexion had already become extremely ugly.

The rage in his eyes was almost about to erupt.

"Crown Prince! You should be aware that among that Rose Maiden Team, there is a woman who is a traitor to my Yin Family!"

"This time, I sent Yin Chang into the Secret Realm specifically to execute this wretch."

"Therefore, the fact that Kou'er and the others met with misfortune definitely has an inseparable connection to these four; it must be related to them!"

Yin Zhong said through gritted teeth, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he might strike at any moment.

However, upon hearing his words, a powerful aura instantly erupted from Li Yan, and his entire demeanor became incomparably cold.

"Heh, Head of the Family Yin, you've finally told the truth!"

"So from beginning to end, it was you, the Yin Family, who wanted to kill people from the start, and now you actually want to turn the tables?!"

Hearing Li Yan's words, Yin Zhong was stunned, but he immediately let out a cold laugh.

"So what if it is?! That little slut stole my Yin Family's Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python! As the Head of the Family, I naturally must take it back for the sake of the family's interests!"

"Furthermore, she is a traitor to my Yin Family; what is wrong with my Yin Family enforcing our family law?"

"It is just that I do not know what methods those four used to actually kill my son and Yin Chang..."

Boom! Before Yin Zhong could finish speaking, Li Yan took a step forward, cutting him off.

The spiritual power on Li Yan's body circulated, his long robes fluttered without wind, and his eyes radiated a chilling coldness.

"Head of the Family Yin, do you want to listen to what you are saying? That Yin Chang was a Nine-Star King-level Beast Tamer! He was at the King-level peak!"

"And the four from my Tianque Academy had not even one person reach the King-level before entering!"

"May I ask what kind of method could allow Spirit-level Beast Tamers to slay a King-level peak expert?"

"Could it be that your Yin Family also has such geniuses? Why not tell us so we can see for ourselves?"

Li Yan's rebuttal immediately left Yin Zhong speechless.

The people around them also let out a burst of sneers, clearly in full agreement with Li Yan.

If a powerhouse about to step into the Imperial Rank were to be dealt with by a group of girls not even at the King-level.

Wouldn't that mean the Beast Tamers of the Yin Family are all trash?! "Yin Zhong, don't blame me for not warning you, Luo Shuiyan and the others are all young talents of my Da Jin! If something happens to them inside the Imperial Palace..."

"As the Head of the Family of the Imperial Capital Yin Family and a powerhouse in your own right, I hope you can act calmly and not be so muddle-headed!"

The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes at this moment and spoke again to reprimand Yin Zhong.

Hearing these words from the Crown Prince, although Yin Zhong was furious in his heart, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave the place.

"Let us go back as well..."

Immediately, Li Yan and the others returned to the manor in the Outer City.

At this moment, inside the manor, a grand celebration banquet was being held.

The other two contestants from Tianque Academy were as respectful as fanboys upon seeing Luo Shuiyan.

A month had passed in the outside world, and the cultivation of Luo Shuiyan and the four had leaped by more than one major realm.

This made many people incredibly envious.

As the Instructor of the four, Xue Bingning's current strength was actually a notch weaker than her own students.

After Li Yan returned to the manor, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed, and the corners of his mouth were stretched almost to his ears.

It was just that everyone did not know that Luo Shuiyan and the others had not practiced for three hundred days, but nearly six hundred days...

During the banquet, Li Yan and Luo Shuiyan and the others talked about the matter of setting off for the Canglang Mountain Range tomorrow.

The Canglan Mountain Range is the kingdom of Spirit Beasts, located on the border of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In this world, the Human Race and the Spirit Race are weak, so they have united to resist the Demon Race together.

Regarding the human practice of taming beasts, the Spirit Race has not condemned it, but humans are not allowed to capture Spirit Beasts without authorization in the Canglan Mountain Range.

Every three years, every dynasty is allotted a certain number of spots to enter Canglan Mountain to select Spirit Beasts.

However, one cannot use force during the process; the Spirit Beast must take the initiative to sign a contract, otherwise, it will anger the Spirit Beast overlords in the mountain.

Luo Shuiyan could be said to be very clear about these rules.

After all, she had already experienced it once in her previous life.
