Chapter 1525: Are You Sorry?
That voice caused Liu Chun’s body to shiver. When he looked at the newcomer, his pupils shrank as he called out, “Fi-fifth prince?”
Without a doubt, the person who had just spoken was Liu Qingchen, the Great Han Dynasty’s fifth prince. Previously, Liu Qingchen was still cultivating in seclusion. As he was at a crucial point of his cultivation, he had not rushed over immediately. By the time he arrived, he was greatly angered to find that someone from his dynasty was trying to steal his boss’s women.
“Which bastard dares to talk like that to our marquis? Are you tired of living?” berated Meng Luo, who still hadn’t realized who he was speaking to.
But immediately after he spoke, Liu Chun spun around and slapped him several times, stunning him with shock.
“Damn you! You dare scold the fifth prince? Are you trying to die?” scolded Liu Chun furiously.
He might be a marquis, but he was a marquis from several generations ago. His status was far too low compared to those in the main imperial clan. As for the fifth prince, he was the Great Han Dynasty’s number one genius. Furthermore, the fifth prince had high hopes of becoming their clan’s number one expert in the future. Thus, Liu Chun would absolutely not dare to offend the fifth prince. He might not fear any other prince, but this fifth prince was an exception.
Liu Qingchen glared at Liu Chun and said, “Gentle Spring Marquis, you are an embarrassment to the Great Han Dynasty!”
Liu Chun bowed and greeted, “Greetings, fifth prince.”
At this time, those behind Liu Chun finally realized what was happening. They all dropped to their knees and greeted, “Greetings, fifth prince.”
As the Gentle Spring Marquis, Liu Chun did not need to kneel. However, that was not the case for the others. This concerned their dynasty’s etiquette, and they could not overlook their traditions.
At this time, Liu Chun had already broken out in cold sweat. If he had known how close the fifth prince was with Xiang Shaoyun, he would never have dared to set his eyes on Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine.
Liu Qingchen walked up to Liu Chun, raised his hand, and moved to heavily slap Liu Chun’s face. Even though Liu Chun could sense the incoming slap, he didn’t dare to avoid it.
Pa! Pa!
Liu Qingchen slapped Liu Chun across both sides of his face, causing his entire face to swell. However, he did not dare to say a single word. The wolf guards and Ziling Sect members were greatly satisfied to see him be slapped.
“Are you sorry?” asked Liu Qingchen.
“Liu Chun is sorry and begs for your forgiveness, fifth prince,” pleaded Liu Chun fearfully.
Liu Qingchen then turned around fawningly and said, “Sisters-in-law, my apologies. The Great Han Dynasty has slacked in disciplining our people. If you’re still unhappy, feel free to tell me what to do. Even if you want him to die, he won’t dare say no.”
One could see how much respect Liu Qingchen was showing the two. If this was anyone else, he naturally wouldn’t need to do so. After all, what he did was the same as slapping the dynasty’s face.
“Forget it. Just have him leave,” said Yu Caidie with a wave of her hand.
However, Devil Concubine said, “No, we can’t let this slide. Tell him to bring us two Great Saint devil cores. After committing a mistake, it is only natural that he pays for it.”
“What do you think, boss?” asked Liu Qingchen as he looked at Xiang Shaoyun.
“Do as they wish,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand.
Xiang Shaoyun then moved on from the incident. He did not want to make things too difficult for Liu Qingchen either. Everyone else scattered, leaving Liu Qingchen behind to deal with Liu Chun. The surrounding crowd had not expected the conflict to end just like that. Thus, their curiosity toward Xiang Shaoyun grew.
“How hateful,” cursed Huang Tianji, who was observing the situation from far away.
Beside him, Huang Xiaoyue said, “Imperial brother, don’t be blinded by hatred. We should focus on the devils. The Dusk Dynasty will not regain its peace before the devils are pushed back. If they stay any longer, things might become catastrophic for our imperial clan.”
“I know, but I can’t swallow this hatred!” said Huang Tianji unhappily.
“If we lost the dynasty just to vent your anger, wouldn’t that be lamentable?” asked Huang Xiaoyue with a sigh.
Huang Tianji shivered as a sense of fear rose from his heart for an unknown reason.
The next day, the Four Night Saints finally arrived. In the secret meeting with them, Xiang Shaoyun learned that the Imperial Teacher Residence had been flattened while those in the residence had all escaped the Dusk Dynasty and joined a different dynasty.
After all, they had a God in the Imperial Teacher Residence. When the God saw that things were turning bad for them, he escaped immediately. As for the Four Night Saints, they were secretly left behind to take charge of the imperial teacher’s underground forces.
The underground forces were hidden very well. Since the Dusk Dynasty was busy dealing with the devil invasion, they couldn’t spare any attention to them. Thus, the underground forces had fallen fully under the Four Night Saints’ control.
Xiang Shaoyun took out a map he had put together and split it into three. He then handed it to the four and said, “Bring all your people and withdraw from the Dusk Dynasty. Head to the Southern Wasteland and look for the place on this map.”
Xiang Shaoyun had not called the Four Night Saints over to help him with the devils. Rather, he needed them to help search for the ruined dynasty.
“Yes, overlord,” the four answered collectively.
“Remember, keep this a secret. Nobody should know about this. After I’m done with my business here, I’ll go look for you,” warned Xiang Shaoyun.
The Four Night Saints then left. Nobody knew about their relationship with Xiang Shaoyun. Not long after the Four Night Saints left, the devils launched a sudden large-scale attack. Several Devil Gods rushed out of the Devil Domain, intensifying the war to a whole new level.
Fortunately, human Gods were also on the battlefield. Otherwise, even more humans would perish in the war. The devils were obviously planning something with their sudden attack. Apart from Devil Gods, a large number of peak Devil Saints had also attacked from several different directions. They were aiming to break through humanity’s defensive line and enter the human territory.
Xiang Shaoyun stopped remaining low-profile and joined the battlefield with all his people. This was a war between races. No mercy would be shown. Although Xiang Shaoyun shared the bloodline of the devils, he did not approve of the devils’ bloodthirsty ways.
In any case, the dominion wasn’t a suitable living environment for the devils. Unless they could fully break the boundaries of the dominion, they wouldn’t be able to turn the dominion into a suitable living environment. The Imperial Nether Clan’s withdrawal was perfect proof. Because of it, Xiang Shaoyun felt obliged to stop the devils’ foolish attempts.
“A day will come when I can suppress the entire dominion and bring eternal peace,” vowed Xiang Shaoyun as he stepped onto the battlefield.
