Jiang Feng transformed into a streak of golden light in the night sky, speeding away from the city with unparalleled speed, like a golden rainbow flashing across the sky above Dragon Capital.

Soon, he was swallowed by the distant black horizons, disappearing from the sight of the people.

"Junior Brother."

Young Master Liu retracted his small purple sword. He also did not pursue Jiang Feng, not because he didn’t want to, but because he was worried about falling for a luring-the-tiger-from-the-mountain scheme.

Occupying the Underground Palace was far more important than capturing Jiang Feng.

He and the Six-armed Divine Emperor had already lost significant time rushing out from the Underground Palace to save the Second Prince. If they pursued Jiang Feng, by the time they returned, the Underground Palace might have already fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect and Wolf Race, and the opportunities would have been snatched away.

"Damn it!"

The Six-armed Divine Emperor roared, his voice shaking the heavens and the earth.

"You dared to kill the Divine Sect’s Saint Heir! No matter how far you go, the Divine Sect experts will tear you limb from limb."

"Pft!"

After speaking, the Six-armed Divine Emperor spat a mouthful of fresh blood in the direction where Jiang Feng disappeared. The blood turned into a mist that formed a talisman in the air, buzzing as it grew larger and larger, seemingly covering the entire sky.

This was the Divine Sect’s Blood Curse Tracking Skill. As long as it covered Jiang Feng, even just brushing against his sleeve, his body would bear the scent of the blood curse, and sooner or later, they could find Jiang Feng using the Blood Curse Tracking Skill.

"What’s going on?"

Having left Dragon Capital, heading north, Jiang Feng felt a chill on his back. Turning around, he saw a massive talisman bearing down from the north.

"Qinglong Cauldron!"

Jiang Feng activated the Qinglong Cauldron, covering his body, and continued to run without stopping.

The chill disappeared at that moment.

The surface of the Qinglong Cauldron emitted a layer of white light, seemingly successfully blocking the Blood Curse Tracking Skill.

"I will find you."

The Six-armed Divine Emperor roared indignantly.

Clearly aware the Blood Curse Tracking Skill was ineffective.

"My junior brother..."

Young Master Liu bent down to investigate, his expression changing dramatically upon discovering the Second Prince had no breath left, and his armor shattered, his body a bloody mess. If not for the pendant around his neck, they wouldn’t have recognized this was the Second Prince.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent aura descended from the sky, and a figure appeared next to the Second Prince.

It was a formidable middle-aged man.

"Mr. Li..."

Young Master Liu hesitated to speak. The newcomer was none other than Li Yang, the Emperor of Great Tang. As a martial cultivator, Li Yang’s presence was awe-inspiring, his True Essence long transformed, unyielding even to the spiritual power of a cultivator, perhaps even superior.

"What happened to my son?"

"Who did this?"

Li Yang squatted down to see the Second Prince’s body embedded in the pit, seemingly fused with the land, difficult to separate.

This was almost just a pool of flesh.

He saw the pendant around the Second Prince’s neck.

Took it off.

And crushed it into powder with a flick of his hand.

"Mr. Li!"

"This is a Divine Sect artifact."

The Six-armed Divine Emperor and Young Master Liu spoke simultaneously.

The pendant was a life-saving artifact awarded to the Second Prince by the Divine Sect, retaining value even in the event of the Second Prince’s death.

"If it couldn’t protect my son, what’s the use of keeping it? I asked you, who killed my son just now?"

Li Yang sprinkled the pendant powder over the Second Prince’s body.

"A powerful figure from the Demon Sect, ran north."

Young Master Liu replied.

"Demon Sect? From a distance just now, I saw that person using your Divine Sect’s Three-legged Body Technique? Could it be that my royal child, with his unique bloodline, fell victim to jealousy from your Divine Sect talents?"

Li Yang questioned suspiciously.

"This... impossible."

Young Master Liu hurriedly shook his head.

"Mr. Li, the Three-legged Body Technique is not an exclusive skill of the Divine Sect, as you know, it serves as a key to enter the Divine Sect Mansion, and was leaked years ago, not a few people know it."

The Six-armed Divine Emperor explained.

"In any case, you must capture that person for me."

Li Yang snorted coldly.

"Mr. Li, the Underground Palace is not yet occupied."

Young Master Liu said discontentedly.

"Occupying the Underground Palace is a matter for the Royal Family. Since you were here to protect my son, and now my son has been beaten to death right in front of you, you leave the murderer uncaptured, and don’t seek revenge for my son?"

Li Yang said angrily.

"You..."

Young Master Liu was at a loss for words, looking increasingly distressed. As a disciple of the Divine Sect and the Second Prince’s senior, even with Li Yang’s status as the Emperor of Great Tang, his tone towards him was as if speaking to a subject.

Li Yang gazed at Young Master Liu, his presence as imposing as a mountain, suppressing Young Master Liu from head to toe.

"You go capture the murderer, we’ll handle the matter of the Underground Palace."

The Six-armed Divine Emperor said to ease the situation.

Having had an arm severed by Jiang Feng, he also harbored a grudge against Jiang Feng.

"Hmph!"

Young Master Liu had no choice, transforming into a streak of purple light, heading northward.

"Boom!"

The Six-armed Divine Emperor turned and plunged into the ground, returning to the Underground Palace.

Li Yang raised his hand towards the air, and a soul identical to the Second Prince appeared before him.

The pendant not only provided protection but, in critical moments, could also collect the Second Prince’s soul, ensuring he had a second life.

But this, the Six-armed Divine Emperor and Young Master Liu were unaware of, a further layer of protection from the Divine Sect for the Second Prince, to prevent internal killings.

Li Yang knew the secret of the pendant.

In front of the Six-armed Divine Emperor and Young Master Liu, he pretended the pendant couldn’t protect the Second Prince, crushing it on the spot, while hiding the Second Prince’s Soul Token in his palm.

"Father."

The Second Prince’s soul was extremely weak, his voice almost inaudible.
