Chapter 145: The Reason for Excessive Killing Intent

"I drew number twelve."

Lin Xuan spread her hand to display the jade token.

Her opponent appeared to be a member of the Imperial Family.

At this moment, on the Golden Dragon Boat, a woman in white was gazing downward, her eyes locked onto Lin Xuan.

At the same time, the Crown Prince frowned, his voice indifferent: "Anyao, you must lose this battle. You are not allowed to win."

"Why?"

The woman addressed as Anyao furrowed her brows.

Her pretty face was full of unwillingness; she was of the Imperial Clan, one of the most elite individuals in the Daqian Dynasty.

She was even about to be conferred the title of Princess, becoming an existence above ten thousand people.

Yet now, she was actually being ordered to lose to Lin Xuan?

"I will only say this once."

The Crown Prince did not explain; he merely cast a light, fleeting glance her way.

Instantly, Li Anyao felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her delicate body trembled, and she knelt directly on the ground.

The surrounding Imperial Clan members did not speak.

They seemed to have long been accustomed to this.

Below, Lin Xuan cast a curious look upward, and the Crown Prince immediately put on a kindly smile, looking at Lin Xuan with great satisfaction.

"The Martial Dao Sacred Body must maintain a posture of constant, high-spirited advancement to be beneficial for her development. Once her physique reaches great completion, my Imperial Clan will have gained another supreme expert," the Crown Prince said to himself.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Imperial Clan members all revealed glints of excitement in their eyes.

At this time, Lin Xuan whispered to Lin Feng: "The way the Crown Prince looks at me is very strange."

Hearing this, Lin Feng raised his head slightly.

The Crown Prince's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze; it really didn't look like the demeanor a superior should have.

"Isn't that quite kind? Little Xuan'er, you might not know, but the Crown Prince wants you to be his daughter-in-law!" Lin Chaoyang teased.

For a small family like theirs, if someone could marry into the Imperial Clan, it would be a supreme honor.

From then on, they would be relatives of the Imperial Family; who would dare to provoke them?

"The three of you, come here."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Lin Yan, Lin Ya, and Lin Xuan walked over, looking curious.

Lin Feng extended his palm and suddenly released a faint trace of lightning.

This lightning gathered in his hand, turning into liquid thunder, continuously condensing into a pill.

"Eat it."

Lin Feng's voice was slightly cold.

"Ah?"

Lin Ya was stunned. This was a Thunder Pill, containing the power of thunder; would they be alright after eating it?

However, none of the three hesitated. Since Lin Feng told them to eat it, he would never harm them.

Sure enough, after the three consumed the Thunder Pill, they felt no pain.

The power within the pill even coursed through their limbs and bones, seemingly having the effect of strengthening their bodies.

Gradually, some impurities were expelled from their bodies.

"Good method, cleansing the marrow and cutting the bones. Clan Leader Lin is truly worthy of being the Heaven's Pride who led the Lin Family to rise!"

Mu Wanzhou walked over with a smile, her eyes flickering.

But Lin Feng ignored her.

He reached out and beckoned, drawing a strand of Blood Qi from Lin Ya, Lin Yan, and Lin Xuan. This Blood Qi made one's nerves tense and feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What is this?" Lin Chaoyang asked strangely.

As soon as he got close to it, he felt physically unwell.

Mu Wanzhou's beautiful eyes flashed, and she pointed at the Blood Qi in shock.

"Isn't this Blood Demon Qi?"

"Your Lin Family, have you used Blood Demon Stones?"

After saying this, Mu Wanzhou's expression darkened, and she quickly increased the distance between herself and the Lin Family disciples.

That vigilant and gloomy expression made Lin Feng feel that something was wrong.

He quickly crushed the Blood Qi and sent a secret voice transmission to Mu Wanzhou: "It's not the Lin Family!"

Mu Wanzhou's gaze was icy; she did not trust Lin Feng at all.

Lin Feng had long known that Blood Demon Qi was born from Blood Demon Stones.

And Blood Demon Stones were strictly prohibited by the Daqian Dynasty. Furthermore, with the Crown Prince present, he feared that if the Prince gave the order, everyone would attack them together.

"If it's not the Lin Family, how could it be forced out of your Lin Family disciples?"

Mu Wanzhou sneered. She reached out and grabbed a crystal-clear spirit sword.

"Let your Mu Family disciples come over, and I can force Blood Demon Qi out of them too."

Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "This was contracted inside Dragon Island. I fear this is the reason why the disciples this year have such excessive killing intent."

Hearing this, Mu Wanzhou couldn't help but be stunned.

She had long discovered that everyone at this Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting had excessive killing intent.

And now, Lin Feng had found the reason.

The matter was of great importance, and Mu Wanzhou could not help but think deeply.

"You mean, someone brought Blood Demon Stones into Dragon Island and released them secretly, strengthening everyone's killing intent?"

Mu Wanzhou laughed in confusion: "Isn't this a superfluous act with no benefits?"

Lin Feng couldn't figure it out either.

Bringing something strictly prohibited by the Daqian Dynasty Imperial Clan inside had absolutely no benefits.

Regardless of the other party's purpose, they couldn't even use it themselves!

Could they really refine those who died on Dragon Island under the eyes of everyone?

Were they not afraid of that Crown Prince of the Imperial Clan?

"Do not spread this!" Lin Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Mu Wanzhou's reaction was not faked, so her suspicion could be ruled out for now.

As for the people from Leiling Province, their suspicion could be ruled out directly.

They were hoping for more of their disciples to survive; why would they carry such a ghostly thing?

Mu Wanzhou fell silent and turned to look at the various forces present.

At the same time, the Crown Prince stood on the dragon boat and announced the start of the second round of matches.

The first to appear was an Imperial Clan disciple, who faced a disciple from the Qi Clan among the Eight Great Families.

This match had no suspense; the Imperial Clan disciple crushed the Qi Clan disciple and easily beheaded them.

Then came the second match, and the third.

After several consecutive matches, Lin Feng couldn't see any problems; everyone looked like they were suspected of carrying Blood Demon Stones, and yet no one looked like it.

Soon, it was Lin Yan's turn.

"Clan Leader, it's my turn." Lin Yan said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Go!"

Lin Yan's opponent was a disciple from a small sect in the Eastern Prefecture; for him, it was effortless.

After a few rounds, he won easily.

After forcing the Blood Demon Qi out of Lin Yan's body, he no longer had such heavy killing intent.

On the Golden Dragon Boat, the Crown Prince announced the result and even summoned Lin Yan personally, rewarding him with a Six-Star Pill.

When the Imperial Clan acts, they are indeed generous.

However, Lin Yan was not surprised; after all, the pills Lin Feng took out had long made him immune to other things.

The next match was Lin Xuan versus the Imperial daughter, Li Anyao.

On the arena, Lin Xuan was chewing a Void Spirit Pill, looking at the other party with a smile.

"Imperial Princess, hello." Lin Xuan greeted.

In the past, where would the Lin Family have the qualifications to see the Imperial Clan? They would have been kneeling before they even saw them!

But now, Lin Xuan had long been calm and unruffled.

"I concede." Li Anyao said coldly, then turned and left.

Once these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned on the spot.

"What are you doing? Conceding?"

"You are an Imperial daughter, how can you concede?"

The crowd shouted.

On the Golden Dragon Boat, the Crown Prince's expression was very ugly. ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
