"It is said that Prince Yong has fought hundreds of battles, never once defeated! The number of martial arts clans and sects he has trampled underfoot is beyond count. But for some unknown reason, Prince Yong never entered the Heavenly Sect of the North Region back then."
"It’s rumored that Prince Yong’s ambition is as high as the heavens, seeking to achieve Divine Treasure standings within the martial arts world. However, in his earlier years, he cultivated a martial arts technique that greatly reduced his lifespan. Now, though he’s around fifty, he looks like a man of seventy or eighty. It seems that he doesn’t have long to live."
"He must have come for the fiendish demon blood essence."
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He, too, could deduce Prince Yong’s intentions.
"I have a Dao Comprehension Pill here. How about exchanging it for one drop of the fiendish demon blood essence in your possession?"
Prince Yong said in a low voice.
"A single Dao Comprehension Pill?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
As a seed disciple, he could earn double rewards.
When the time came, he could purchase two Dao Comprehension Pills for twenty thousand contribution points.
Trading with Prince Yong for only one Dao Comprehension Pill—only a fool would agree to such terms. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was unmoved, Prince Yong gritted his teeth and said, "I know you’re a disciple of the Heavenly Sect in the North Region, lacking neither cultivation techniques nor secret techniques. However, to enhance your Spiritual Scale, life-and-death combat or indulging in the mortal world are viable methods."
"As long as you agree to hand over the fiendish demon blood essence to me, I can arrange opponents for you. You can kill as many people as you want."
"Moreover, if you wish to explore the mortal world, I’ll make all the arrangements to your satisfaction. What do you think?"
In truth, what Prince Yong had proposed could have been easily attained by Lu Changsheng, given his status as a seed disciple of the Heavenly Sect in the North Region.
Dealing with Prince Yong to exchange for the fiendish demon blood essence was completely unnecessary.
"Brother Lu does not require such things."
With that, Lu Changsheng no longer paid attention to Prince Yong and prepared to leave.
"I had intended to resolve this matter amicably today, but I didn’t expect you to be so uncooperative."
"The fiendish demon blood essence—I must obtain it. If you refuse, I’ll have no choice but to kill you!"
Prince Yong’s gaze fixed unyieldingly on Lu Changsheng.
"You? Or do you mean the dozens of Divine Astral Realm experts you brought with you?"
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone calm.
Prince Yong was briefly startled, seemingly not expecting Lu Changsheng to be aware.
But it didn’t matter.
In the face of absolute power, what if Lu Changsheng knew?
Sure enough, in no time, dozens of Divine Astral Realm experts arrived in Luochang County, standing behind Prince Yong.
Prince Yong glanced at the twenty-four Divine Astral Realm experts and sneered coldly, "I’m dying soon; you might have guessed as much."
"A man on the brink of death may act with utter madness."
"If you assist me in killing Lu Changsheng and seizing the fiendish demon blood essence, I will pardon you this once—you’ll be allowed to live."
"Otherwise, you’ll all die!"
It was true that Prince Yong had descended into madness.
He was on the verge of death.
How could someone like him accept dying so easily?
Thus, Prince Yong set his sights on the fiendish demon blood essence.
Initially, he had intended to slay the demons himself.
But Inspector Zhang Wendeng of Qingzhou unexpectedly sought aid from the Heavenly Sect of the North Region.
This had deeply angered Prince Yong.
However, Prince Yong had no other choice but to bring his men and come here.
In order to obtain the fiendish demon blood essence, in order to survive, Prince Yong was even prepared to kill everyone present.
Including Lu Changsheng, this disciple of the Heavenly Sect of the North Region.
At that time, he would blame everything on the demonic martial artists.
As for these twenty-four Divine Astral Realm experts—Prince Yong did not take them seriously.
How many noble martial clans had he obliterated in the past?
How many martial arts sects had he crushed?
With his strength alone, he had suppressed the entire martial arts world of the Great Yue Dynasty.
His might was known by every martial artist in the Great Yue Dynasty.
What choice should they make? Prince Yong believed the twenty-four Divine Astral Realm experts would know full well.
"Will you obey my orders, or will you stand alongside Lu Changsheng in a futile resistance? The choice is yours!"
Prince Yong said coldly.
His face even carried a hint of confidence.
No martial artist in the Great Yue Dynasty would dare defy his orders!
The twenty-four Divine Astral Realm experts moved.
Without hesitation, they instantly stood at Lu Changsheng’s side.
"Upper Envoy, we will assist you in vanquishing Prince Yong!"
The twenty-four Divine Astral Realm experts’ eyes were filled with unshakeable determination.
Prince Yong’s eyes widened, as if unable to believe what he was witnessing.
With his unrivaled reputation that had dominated the martial arts world for decades, and dozens of Divine Astral Realm experts standing there under his command—
In such a situation, was there really any choice to be made?
And yet, the twenty-four Divine Astral Realm experts had chosen Lu Changsheng without the slightest hesitation, aligning themselves against him.
In an instant, Prince Yong’s expression grew even darker.
