The sound thundered out, almost audible throughout the entire Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.
Before Qin Heng could react, Feng Tingfu’s voice boomed again, roaring, "Qin Heng, get over to Drunk Dragon Mountain immediately and tell me who took the Six Symbols Dragon Sword?"
At these words, Qin Heng was dumbfounded. The Six Symbols Dragon Sword had been taken?
What a joke, how could that be possible? Who could have taken the Six Symbols Dragon Sword? What the hell was Feng Tingfu’s mother up to?
However, Qin Lao, standing behind him, trembled violently.
Suddenly, he pulled Qin Heng aside and said, "Father, look at this broken sword. Is it not the real Demon Sword from the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave?"
Qin Heng instinctively looked at his son.
He saw in his hands a broken sword, which was indeed the Demon Sword that Senior Sister Gao had just used.
Earlier, when they had bound Lu Zhiqian and another, Qin Lao had already confiscated the Demon Sword. At this moment, upon hearing what Feng Tingfu had said, Qin Lao made a bold guess but still needed his father’s confirmation.
He had never entered the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave before, but having grown up in the Holy Dragon Palace, he was very familiar with the legends of the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave.
He had naturally seen depictions of the Demon Sword.
Widening his eyes, Qin Heng swiftly took the Demon Sword into his hands and, after a few breaths, nodded heavily.
"It is the Demon Sword. It seems the Main Academy has repaired it and even brought it here to try and take the Six Symbols Dragon Sword."
"When did it break again? How did it end up in your hands?"
With each question from Qin Heng, Qin Lao slowly pointed towards Senior Sister Gao...
In an instant, Qin Heng had an epiphany and trembled once more.
Then Qin Lao continued, "The Demon Sword was cut by Junior Brother Sikong, who was a student with nine wings at Drunk Dragon Mountain half a month ago, and he had also cultivated in the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave."
"Father, where do you think the Six Symbols Dragon Sword could be now?"
Qin Heng’s mind thundered again. Clearly, the Six Symbols Dragon Sword had indeed been taken, and the person who took it was undoubtedly Sikong Jing; otherwise, the Demon Sword would not have been slashed again.
"Father, we must protect Junior Brother Sikong," Qin Lao said earnestly.
Nobody in history had been able to take the Six Symbols Dragon Sword, yet now Sikong Jing had managed to do so. How could they not protect him?
"Qin Heng, are you deaf? Get over here now!"
Just then, Feng Tingfu’s voice came for the third time, his True Qi manifesting turbulently above Drunk Dragon Mountain.
As soon as his words fell, three figures swiftly descended into Holy Dragon Town; they were the Tan siblings. They quickly spotted Qin Heng at the scene and hurriedly approached him.
"Vice Palace Master Qin, you’ve finally returned."
"The Six Symbols Dragon Sword has been pulled out by Sikong Jing, and now an elder from the Main Academy has come to take it away."
"We cannot let them take it, the Six Symbols Dragon Sword belongs to our Long Night Saint Dragon Palace."
"And now, it still belongs to Sikong Jing."
The three paid no attention to the turbulent crowd around them and got straight to the point upon their arrival, their attitude resolute.
While Feng Tingfu was ascending the mountain, the Tan siblings had hosted him.
They also did everything possible to prevent him from going to the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave, fearing that the Six Symbols Dragon Sword might be taken by the Main Academy.
They were even more afraid that Feng Tingfu, upon learning that the Six Symbols Dragon Sword had been pulled out by Sikong Jing, would directly go and forcibly take it from Sikong Jing.
Regrettably, the Tan siblings ultimately could not stop him, and Feng Tingfu was adamant about going to the Drunk Dragon Sword Cave. Therefore, as soon as he entered the Sword Cave, they frantically descended the mountain in search of Qin Heng.
No matter what, they must find a way to protect the Six Symbols Dragon Sword.
Qin Heng opened his mouth wide, completely confirming that the Six Symbols Dragon Sword was indeed taken by Sikong Jing, and according to Feng Tingfu’s character, he would definitely find Sikong Jing and snatch the Dragon Sword away.
Thinking about this, he glanced again at Senior Sister Gao’s dead body over there.
His heart was roaring repeatedly inside, "Palace Master Shen, please come back quickly, I can hardly bear this any longer."
But how could Shen Qingye possibly return at just this time?
Finally, Qin Heng could only feign calm and slowly said, "Take the two students and the body from the Main Academy to Golden Dragon Mountain, and notify all Institute Masters and elders to rush to Golden Dragon Mountain with utmost urgency."
After speaking, he again looked toward the Tan siblings and continued, "The three of you, seal off Holy Dragon Town, allow no one to enter or leave."
For now, they couldn’t let Feng Tingfu know how Senior Sister Gao died, so Holy Dragon Town had to be sealed off.
Everything would wait until they came up with a solution.
After speaking, Qin Heng flew back to Golden Dragon Mountain on a dragon, while Qin Lao and other Chiefs immediately followed with the two people and Senior Sister Gao’s body. The Tan siblings personally sealed off Holy Dragon Town.
Soon after, inside the hall of Golden Dragon Mountain, Huo Yanmei and Wu Ding with others arrived all together.
When they heard about Sikong Jing’s deeds, they were all shocked.
Wu Ding from Dark Dragon Mountain sneered repeatedly, "Well killed, this little Sikong is increasingly to Old Qi’s liking, hahaha."
Everyone was speechless, well killed of course.
But now the issue was how to deal with Feng Tingfu and, more critically, how to address the inquiries from the Main Academy.
"Everyone, Feng Tingfu will soon arrive, if you have any suggestions, hurry up and speak," Qin Heng said as he looked at everyone. He hadn’t responded to Feng Tingfu on Drunk Dragon Mountain, who would surely rush over to inquire due to the affair with the Six Symbols Dragon Sword.
The time left for them to deliberate wasn’t much.
Huo Yanmei was the first to stand up and slowly said, "We definitely have to protect Sikong Jing, and we will not give up the Six Symbols Dragon Sword."
Compared to the terrifying battle power capable of killing Senior Sister Gao, the fact that Sikong Jing had obtained the Six Symbols Dragon Sword was even more significant.
Sikong Jing would one day be a figure at the Palace Master level of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, and it was even very likely that he could surpass Palace Master Shen. How could they surrender him?
All the Institute Masters and elders nodded their heads together; after Lei Hongteng’s death, the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace was more united than ever.
"How shall we deal with the Main Academy?" Qin Heng scanned everyone again.
This time, they all remained silent until the Institute Master from Cloud Dragon Mountain spoke, "I have a suggestion, kill the two students from the Main Academy, and frame a mysterious person for it."
This proposition made many eyes shine brightly.
The mysterious figure appeared, took the Six Symbols Dragon Sword, killed the three who possessed the Demon Sword, and broke the Demon Sword.
That mysterious figure is so powerful that no one can withstand him.
Of course, Feng Tingfu would definitely ask who the mysterious person was... but being mysterious already, who knows who he is? They could just make it up.
A gleam flashed in Qin Heng’s eyes; this was indeed a good suggestion.
But the next moment, a stunning and wild figure walked in through the entrance of the hall, softly shouting, "I, object."
Everyone turned to look, and it was none other than Baili Que, who had previously been in retreat and had just received the news from Chen Tong and others.
Qin Heng stared blankly and asked, "Baili Que, what is your opinion?"
As the Chief of Dark Dragon Mountain, Qin Heng still valued Baili Que highly and didn’t blame her.
"My opinion is, the Six Symbols Dragon Sword belongs to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace; what right do they have to intervene?"
"As for Sikong Jing killing people, the murderer is always the murdered, clear and simple. So what if we killed someone?"
"My opinion is to expel Feng Tingfu, let him roll!"
Baili Que’s tone was overwhelmingly dominant, her presence carrying a powerful edge not found in those who were older.
