You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 395 - 19. Who dares to snatch it?_2

"Ha... what do you say?" Lin Yue scoffed and retorted, then said, "If you're so wary, why don't you have the guts to die with me right now."

The Twelfth Prince fell silent again for a long while, then nodded slightly and said, "Very well, let's give it a try."

With a wave of his sleeve, the shattered night sky turned into an Array component resembling a jade plate, spinning as it fell into his hand.

The Array Barrier collapsed, and the sky cleared immediately, with the thundering and wavering space outside the Array also converging.

At this moment, the various Great Cultivators outside the Array, the Fourteenth Prince, Duke Heng... even those from different factions in Di Hong City watching from afar, without the barrier of the Array, suddenly had a clear view of the situation here.

"Hmm? Apart from the Seventh Princess and the Seventeenth Prince, why is there only the Twelfth Prince left?"

"How is this possible? The Long Night Meteor Array should have ten Great Cultivators as the foundation, and the Ascetic was also seen, along with the Great Cultivators from the Qingtian Bureau."

"Where's the Ascetic? Why can't we see him?"

"The presence of the Ascetic has vanished. Could it be..."

"The Seventh Princess is known for not taking lives, could it be the Seventeenth Prince?"

"Wait, has the Seventeenth Prince already reached Perfect Great Cultivator level?"

One Great Cultivator after another watched this scene, their minds inevitably entertaining a conjecture they found rather hard to believe.

How long had the Seventeenth Prince been cultivating?

Could he really have, in the midst of the Long Night Meteor Array and right in front of the Twelfth Prince, killed all his followers and even the Ascetic so thoroughly?

"Your Highness."

Duke Heng took a step forward and was already by Lin Yue's side.

The fairy-like Bixu Yuanjun also floated down with Baili Fengzhi at this time.

"Your Highness." Baili Fengzhi immediately walked over.

Lin Yue smiled at her and said, "Well done."

One didn't need to guess to know that it must have been Baili Fengzhi who had gone to ask Bixu Yuanjun for help.

"It's good that Your Highness is unharmed." Baili Fengzhi shook her head.

The Twelfth Prince looked at Bixu Yuanjun emotionlessly and said softly, "What a master of Array magic."

Bixu Yuanjun looked at Lin Yue and transmitted, "You've gotten me into trouble."

"Yuanjun need not worry," Lin Yue immediately transmitted back, "I am as close as siblings with the Seventh Princess. You can stay in my residence with peace of mind, and if you ever fall victim to Prince Cheng's poison, I will ask the Seventh Princess to cure you."

"...You're truly shameless," Bixu Yuanjun couldn't help responding.

Lin Yue remained calm as ever.

At that moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, transforming into the somewhat disheveled Fourteenth Prince, who looked at the Twelfth Prince with a grin and said, "Isn't this Prince Cheng? I didn't expect you to be the one inside the Array. What about those Great Cultivators? And the Ascetic in your residence who was sure to reach Harmonization and become a Saint?"

He was in a very good mood, obviously mocking deliberately and even asked Bixu Yuanjun, "What did the fairy say just now? That the Ascetic and those Great Cultivators were all killed by the Seventeenth Prince for offending him?"

Bixu Yuanjun replied indifferently, "Yes."

"Tsk..."

The Fourteenth Prince patted Lin Yue's shoulder and admired, "The Seventeenth Brother is truly formidable."

He then turned to look at the Seventh Princess and said with a smile, "The Seventh Sister is not bad either. I have plenty of Spirit Plant seeds in my residence, I'll have someone send them to you later on."

The Seventh Princess showed a trace of joy and immediately nodded, "Then thank you very much, Prince Zhen."

The Twelfth Prince glanced at the invisible barrier encompassing the area and asked indifferently, "Fourteenth Brother, why have you erected a barrier here?"

"Does Prince Cheng wish to leave?" The Fourteenth Prince said with a smirk, "You set up an Array to trap the Seventh Sister and the Seventeenth Brother, having already broken the rules, and you still hope to just walk away?"

The Twelfth Prince stood with his hands behind his back calmly and said, "Even if there are accusations to be made, it should be the Crown Prince questioning me, not you, Fourteenth Brother."

"It seems that Prince Cheng is indeed not in a good mood. In the past, my brother always responded to me with a smile, didn't he?" The Fourteenth Prince laughed.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he retracted the invisible barrier.

"Prince Cheng, you may leave. I've heard that my brother has not had a drink in hundreds of years. Would you care to drown your sorrows in wine today?" The Fourteenth Prince continued with a laugh.

The Twelfth Prince ignored him and only glanced again at Lin Yue and the Seventh Princess before suddenly smiling softly, "Who would have thought that Beiyuan Mountain would have such a great opportunity, not only possessing the mythical Phoenix Crown but also granting the Seventeenth Brother a Divine Artifact Battle Saber?"

His words were unrestrained, spoken so lightly.

But those seemingly unimportant words, like a giant peak thrown into the sea, instantly stirred up endless shockwaves.

"What? A Divine Artifact? The Phoenix Crown!?"

"How is that possible? Beiyuan Mountain actually has such an opportunity?"

"No wonder, no wonder the Seventeenth Prince, who had just broken through, was able to kill the Ascetic bolstered by the Long Night Meteor Array. It all makes sense now!"

"He's gone mad... mad! Even the princes don't have Divine Artifacts, do they?"

"There's also Phoenix Crowned Green, I've heard of it... It's said to be a messenger of the Ancient Gods, nesting in the firmament, feeding on dragons and phoenixes."

"No wonder the Twelfth Prince is willing to break the rules at any cost..."

"Divine Artifacts, Divine Beasts, who wouldn't be tempted?"

At this moment, a series of Divine Thought Transmissions exchanged endlessly, greedy thoughts sprouting and growing in an instant, even the Great Cultivators watching from a distance couldn't help but reveal a greedy gleam in their eyes.

Meanwhile, in Di Hong City, the Saints observing this scene had their hearts fill with greed.

"Divine Artifacts, Phoenix Crowned Green?" The Fourteenth Prince also looked at Lin Yue and the Seventh Princess in surprise, now examining the green falcon on the princess's shoulder more closely.

He had long guessed that it must involve a great opportunity, otherwise, the Twelfth Prince wouldn't have gone to such lengths, but who could have anticipated something this outrageous?

Duke Heng, with a subtle move, stepped closer to Lin Yue and transmitted telepathically, "Your Highness, be careful."

Baili Fengzhi also became instantly alert.

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

He had expected that the Twelfth Prince wouldn't let this opportunity pass, just not this quickly.

Suddenly—

A terrifying Divine Thought pierced through the air from Di Hong City and entered his mind.

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback, then gave the Seventh Princess a glance, noticing that she had no intention to argue, letting the Phoenix Crowned Green perch on her shoulder as if she intended to take the blame for him.

"Little Green."

Lin Yue suddenly looked at the Phoenix Crowned Green on the Seventh Princess's shoulder, extended a hand and softly called, "Come here."

The Phoenix Crowned Green flapped its wings and obediently landed on the back of his hand.

"Good." Lin Yue combed through its feathers with his fingertips, and the Phoenix Crowned Green affectionately rubbed his finger with its head.

The Seventh Princess was taken aback.

Duke Heng and Baili Fengzhi were stunned as well.

The Twelfth Prince also watched incredulously.

At this moment, everyone watching the scene was taken aback.

The significance of this scene, how could they fail to understand?

"Seventeenth brother."

The Fourteenth Prince couldn't help but speak, "Is this Phoenix Crowned Green also..."

"Yes, it's also my pet," Lin Yue nodded calmly.

With his words, a single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Everyone was astonished at Lin Yue.

Divine Artifact Battle Saber, Phoenix Crowned Green... both were in possession of the Seventeenth Prince?

Any one of these items would be enough to drive a Saint mad with desire, even attracting supreme beings on the path of Proving, yet this Seventeenth Prince, after just one visit to Beiyuan Mountain, had managed to gain two such terrifying opportunities?

"Seventeenth brother, what are you doing?" The Seventh Princess couldn't help but transmit her thoughts, "I'm already at the stage of Harmonization; pretending the Phoenix Crowned Green is mine to help you share the risk wouldn't be good?"

Lin Yue slightly raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and replied telepathically, "You don't really want your brother to become a Prince Consort, do you? So kind to me?"

The Seventh Princess paused, then responded helplessly, "Stop joking, you're pushing yourself into the eye of the storm by doing this..."

"I did it on purpose."

Lin Yue replied, then with a flick of his finger, let the Phoenix Crowned Green fly to perch on his shoulder. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and took out the Divine Artifact Battle Saber from his storage space.

Saber in hand, he stepped forward, his eyes coldly sweeping over the many Great Cultivators watching from a distance, he declared icily, "A bunch of fools, here are the Divine Artifact and Phoenix Crowned Green, whoever isn't afraid of death, come and snatch them!"

Just then—

"Boom!"

An overwhelmingly terrifying and supreme aura suddenly emanated from Di Hong City in the distance, whereupon a figure in green robes appeared in the sky, standing aloft, with an indifferent voice echoing through heaven and earth.

"Disciple, your master is here watching, let's see who dares to snatch the opportunity from you?"

At that moment, many Cultivators were shocked and held their breath, looking up at that ancient presence high above.

It was the Main Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall!
