Sikong Jing’s face also grew cold, and his gaze stealthily moved toward Thunder Dragon Mountain Road behind the Task Hall.
He didn’t mind challenging Thunder Dragon Mountain Road right now and taking Lei Zizhen down directly on it.
By triggering the mountain road’s oppression, even if Lei Zizhen were an expert from the Third or Fourth Realm of Xuantian, Sikong Jing could achieve victory.
"Brother Lei, you are being too excessive. We are all fellows of the Holy Dragon Palace. Is it necessary to be so ruthless?" Xu He suddenly mustered the courage to stand up, but his entire face turned red, clearly unaccustomed to facing such a terrifying figure.
"Just an apprentice, all trash."
"I think killing them is trivial, showing them mercy is already Chief’s compassion."
Lei Zizhen squinted his eyes, his voice arrogant to the extreme.
All the apprentices in the audience also turned pale, feeling the humiliation and suffocation.
Yu Yan’s face flushed with deep anger.
Long Night Saint Dragon Palace was so disunited precisely because of spoiled sons like Lei Zizhen.
It seemed they really could only resort to using Vice Palace Master Qin Heng to suppress the situation.
"If the apprentice is trash, then what is the Inner Palace Student in your arms who was blown away by an apprentice? A lump of shit?"
Suddenly, a cold female voice rose in the Task Hall, "Thunder Dragon Mountain allows a lump of shit to enter the Inner Palace, aren’t you ashamed?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone widened their eyes. With Lei Zizhen present, who dared to speak ?
Were they seeking death?
Lei Zizhen’s face darkened and he roared murderously, "Dare to disdain Thunder Dragon Mountain? I now declare, you and this little apprentice are guilty alike, whether you are a student, an apprentice, or an Inner Palace Student."
His temper was explosive, and that statement had insulted the entirety of Thunder Dragon Mountain.
"Lei Zizhen, what the hell are you?"
The cold voice rang out again, and then a graceful figure in a black dress slowly emerged from the crowd.
Immediately, the temperature around seemed to drop, like a black wind swirling, terrifyingly shocking.
When Yu Yan saw this figure, her pupils shrank violently.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment, unclear why this woman dared to be so arrogant. Was she not afraid of Lei Zizhen?
In Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, the number of students unafraid of Lei Zizhen could probably be counted on one hand.
Sikong Jing was slightly startled, then bitterly smiled to himself, suspecting the 19.4 million points might be discounted now.
Tao Yue, who also didn’t recognize the woman in the black dress, suddenly jumped out of Lei Zizhen’s arms and pointed at her arrogantly, saying, "You little slut have some nerve, daring to call Brother Lei trash, your crime is even greater now."
She hadn’t noticed that the moment Lei Zizhen saw the woman in the black dress, his face had already turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
Hearing Tao Yue’s words, Lei Zizhen’s entire body shuddered. "Tao Yue, stop talking."
"Brother Lei, what’s there to fear? This little slut insults Thunder Dragon Mountain, she should be further punished."
Tao Yue, pleased with herself, said this as she had obtained her Inner Palace Student status through favors and had always been subject to the jealousy of some female students.
Seeing a woman prettier than her, she felt hatred.
Moreover, it was an opportunity to defend Thunder Dragon Mountain and please Lei Zizhen, possibly even the Dean Lei Hongteng. She was, after all, hoping to marry Lei Zizhen.
However, at that very moment, Lei Zizhen slapped Tao Yue across the face, roaring, "I told you to shut up!"
Instantly, Tao Yue collapsed to the ground.
His entire face was stunned, why did Brother Lei suddenly strike him? Why?
"Lei Zizhen, she cursed twice as a ’little bitch,’ one slap is not enough," the woman in the black dress said, her voice ice-cold as if it was a heartless command.
Lei Zizhen’s body trembled violently, and he gently exhaled, saying, "Junior Sister Baili, to spare others is to spare oneself, don’t go too far!"
The woman in black was naturally Baili Que. She had come down from Dark Dragon Mountain to check on the tasks and had just arrived to see Lei Zizhen bullying Sikong Jing. Her heart was secretly delighted.
Without hesitation, she stood up.
If it had been someone else or a different situation, with her personality she would definitely not have meddled.
With a slight curl of her lips, Baili Que glared at Lei Zizhen and said again, "Now you understand to spare others where you can? When you were dealing with the apprentice just now, how come you didn’t grasp this principle?"
After speaking, she stepped beside Sikong Jing, her eyes flashing with a murderous intent.
Lei Zizhen was stunned, his face immediately turning ugly. He couldn’t understand why Baili Que insisted on meddling.
It wasn’t like her to do so.
"He’s just a little apprentice, how can he be compared with me?" Tao Yue couldn’t help but speak again.
Baili Que snorted coldly, a slap flew out of thin air,
The black True Qi formed a shadow, reaching towards Tao Yue’s face, about to land a blow.
Just then, Lei Zizhen intervened, a bolt of lightning shattered Baili Que’s hand shadow.
The next instant, without waiting for Lei Zizhen to speak, Baili Que shouted again, "It seems you, Lei Zizhen, won’t let me slap her, you want to take a slap for her? Then I will... oblige you!"
With those words, Baili Que swept forward, instantly reaching in front of Lei Zizhen, and slapped him.
Lei Zizhen’s body shook violently, his body covered in lightning, forming a True Qi Defense Shield.
But Baili Que just sneered coldly, her icy voice ringing out: "Lei Zizhen, you are still too weak!"
The black palm wind pressed down, and with a bang, the True Qi Defense Shield around Lei Zizhen shattered into fragments, and then with a crisp "smack," Lei Zizhen’s face was harshly slapped.
With a cry, he staggered back several steps, his face burning with pain.
At this moment, Baili Que returned to in front of Sikong Jing and coldly said, "You may leave now, but if I ever see you abusing your status to disrupt the unity of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace again, I will personally go to Thunder Dragon Mountain and cripple you."
Lei Zizhen covered his face tightly, his eyes brimming with raging flames and rolling murder.
"Still not convinced? Then shall we go outside and fight?" Baili Que raised an eyebrow, stepping forward.
Feeling Baili Que’s terrifying battle intent, Lei Zizhen gritted his teeth, his gaze of hatred shifting to Sikong Jing.
Ultimately, he retracted his gaze, ignored Tao Yue, and without making a sound, turned around and walked away.
"Brother Lei, wait for me!" Tao Yue was stunned for a moment, then scrambled and stumbled to follow him, finally realizing she had stirred up a hornet’s nest—the woman in the black dress was a terrifying existence not even Lei Zizhen dared to provoke.
It was still quiet inside the Task Hall, their gazes fixed on Baili Que, all wondering who she really was.
At this moment, Yu Yan gently exhaled and quickly stepped forward to say, "Thank you, Senior Sister Baili, for your righteous help."
Although Baili Que was the Chief Inner Palace Student from Dark Dragon Mountain, she rarely ventured outside.
Except for Inner Palace Students and some older students, hardly anyone knew her, but Yu Yan certainly did.
Regrettably, Baili Que didn’t even acknowledge her but instead looked at Sikong Jing.
Her eyes slightly narrowed, she smiled like a witch and said, "I told you that it’s easy for situations like those in Martial Dragon Palace to arise here in Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, and that I could cover for you, but you wouldn’t listen."
"Now, do you owe me a favor?"
At this, Yu Yan’s beautiful eyes tightened, realizing that the typically indifferent Baili Que had intervened because she knew Sikong Jing.
And that she wasn’t just being righteous; her intervention was specifically for Sikong Jing.
