Chapter 7: Prince Qin Luo, Unleashing Chaos Without Restraint!

"So fast?" Qin Luo immediately straightened his back. Damn it, my reinforcements are here! Today, everyone will kneel before me!

The Great Qin Empire was a force far stronger than Tai Xu Holy Ground.

From his memories, the founder of the Great Qin Empire was an Emperor-level powerhouse. In the Great Qin Empire, anyone bestowed with the title of Marquis was undoubtedly a Saint!

The elder paused, quickly retracting his overwhelming aura. His gaze shifted to Liu Changhe, filled with curiosity.

Liu Changhe indicated that he knew nothing.

"Take this brat away!" The Tai Xu Ancestor commanded, and the elders of Tai Xu Holy Ground moved to act.

At this moment, Qin Luo shouted loudly, "I am Qin Luo!"

"Marquis Fang Xing, I'm here!"

Using the power of the Tai Xu Bell, Qin Luo's voice carried far.

Boom!

A powerful presence surged in from outside. A middle-aged man clad in black armor strode forward fearlessly, barging through everything until he reached the space above Qin Luo.

His eyes locked onto Qin Luo instantly.

"What brings Marquis Fang Xing here today?" Both the Tai Xu Ancestor and Liu Changhe asked gravely.

The aura emanating from Fang Xing was slightly weaker than the Tai Xu Ancestor's, but they didn't dare underestimate him—he represented the Great Qin Empire.

Fang Xing's gaze fell on Qin Luo, and he noticed a jade pendant appearing in Qin Luo's hand, causing his pupils to contract.

Whoosh! Moving at incredible speed, Fang Xing rushed to Qin Luo, grabbing the jade pendant and secretly activating the secret technique embedded within it.

Soon, a red light flashed from the jade pendant, entering Qin Luo'sa body. The pendant then began to emit a dazzling glow, resonating with the bloodline power within Qin Luo.

Though unsure of what had happened, both the Tai Xu Ancestor and Liu Changhe felt a sinking sensation in their hearts—an ominous premonition.

Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't fathom why today's events were taking such unexpected turns.

"Qin Luo... can he not die?" Ye Chen muttered under his breath.

Fang Xing observed the scene and confirmed that the person before him was indeed the bloodline of the Great Qin Empire—the Ninth Prince of the Imperial Capital that he had been tasked to find!

He stepped back two paces and bowed respectfully to Qin Luo. "Marquis Fang Xing pays respects to His Highness, the Ninth Prince!"

Boom!

The impact of these words was immense.

Ye Chen staggered, his eyes wide open. "He's a prince of the Great Qin Empire?"

Jealousy, anger, fear—all kinds of emotions swirled within him.

After all the effort to crush Qin Luo and seize his position as the Holy Son, Qin Luo had now gained an even more prestigious status—the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire!

Liu Ruyan also looked at Qin Luo in disbelief. "Senior Brother Qin is actually the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire? How is that possible?"

"It's impossible! How could Qin Luo be the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire?"

"The Great Qin Empire only has eight princes—when did a ninth one appear?"

"What a joke, an absolute cosmic joke! Qin Luo, a mere thief, how could he possibly become the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire? I must still be asleep. Yes, I haven't woken up yet."

Liu Changhe's expression darkened. He realized the gravity of the situation. If Qin Luo truly was the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire, then their earlier trial of him had already irreparably antagonized him.

In the future, Qin Luo would surely seek revenge against Tai Xu Holy Ground.

Taking a step forward, Liu Changhe spoke gravely. "Qin Luo was a child Elder Shen Su of our Tai Xu Holy Ground found outside. Could Marquis Fang Xing have made a mistake?"

Fang Xing glanced at him indifferently. "Our Great Qin Empire has its own methods of verification. There's no need to explain them to your Tai Xu Holy Ground."

"I have confirmed that His Highness Qin Luo is indeed the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire. The identity of a prince cannot be questioned!"

Arrogant, decisive—what I say is law; there's no need to explain anything to you.

"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, please accompany me to the Imperial Capital."

"Not in a hurry," Qin Luo said.

Now it was his turn to take center stage.

He glanced at Fang Xing and asked, "Marquis Fang Xing, do you know what I'm currently doing?"

"I'm being put on trial by Tai Xu Holy Ground!"

These words caused the expressions of both the Tai Xu Ancestor and Liu Changhe to shift.

They knew this was Qin Luo gloating over his newfound advantage.

"Ancestor, rest assured. We Tai Xu Holy Ground are in the right. Even if the Great Qin Empire is powerful, they cannot bully us with sheer force!" Liu Changhe transmitted this message to the Tai Xu Ancestor.

The Ancestor merely nodded, saying nothing further.

"Oh?" A dense killing intent surged around Fang Xing. He scanned the surroundings and bellowed, "You dare to put the prince of the Great Qin Empire on trial? Tai Xu Holy Ground, your audacity knows no bounds!"

The oppressive aura of a single individual silenced everyone in Tai Xu Holy Ground.

Only Tu Shouyi stepped forward under Liu Changhe's prompting glance. He explained, "Respectfully reporting to Marquis Fang Xing, we were unaware that Qin Luo was a prince of the Great Qin Empire. Previously, he was the Holy Son of our Tai Xu Holy Ground. Since he violated our laws, it was only natural to put him on trial!"

His words rang with authority. Tu Shouyi felt like he was the center of attention—a fearless hero standing against tyranny.

But Qin Luo's next sentence sent him plummeting into despair. "Just moments ago, he tried repeatedly to kill me."

Boom! Fang Xing's killing intent condensed into a tangible form, and a blade of energy shot out. "Daring to plot against a prince of the Great Qin Empire—death is the punishment!"

The killing intent had nearly solidified, leaving Tu Shouyi unable to breathe. His eyes were filled with terror.

"Marquis Fang Xing, please show mercy!" Liu Changhe interjected. After all, Tu Shouyi had acted under his orders, and he had to protect him.

"Anyone who obstructs me shares the same fate!"

Fang Xing showed no sign of backing down. With a slash, Tu Shouyi, who had just broken free from Fang Xing's suppression, was struck down. He couldn't dodge in time.

All he could do was cry out desperately, "Holy Master, save me!"

Liu Changhe hesitated for a moment, and that hesitation sealed Tu Shouyi's fate. Fang Xing's strike killed him instantly.

Thud! Tu Shouyi's corpse hit the ground, sending tremors through everyone present. Many began trembling uncontrollably.

Moments ago, they had participated in falsely accusing Qin Luo. Now, a mighty cultivator at the eighth level of the Dongtian Realm had been effortlessly slain. What about them?

The arrogance and satisfaction they had felt earlier now turned into sheer terror.

But amidst this, there was still one brave soul. Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Luo and said, "Senior Brother Qin, you've changed. Elder Tu was merely enforcing justice impartially. Moreover, you killed disciples of our Tai Xu Holy Ground and stole our holy artifact—the evidence is clear. You're the one in the wrong, Senior Brother!"

However, Liu Ruyan's tone wasn't as firm as before. The change in power dynamics had shaken her confidence.

Qin Luo was now certain that he could practically do whatever he wanted!

"Enforcing justice impartially? Evidence?" Qin Luo sneered, turning to Liu Ruyan. "Are you referring to you and Ye Chen as witnesses?"

"Did you personally see me kill the disciples of Tai Xu Holy Ground?"

"I..." Liu Ruyan struggled to answer. Had she personally seen it? She had only seen dead bodies and Qin Luo near them.

"Answer me. Did you personally see me kill the disciples of Tai Xu Holy Ground?" Qin Luo demanded again.

"I did not." Liu Ruyan's words caused an uproar.

Who would have thought that the key witness hadn't actually seen anything? Yet she had accused Qin Luo so arrogantly and self-righteously?

"Did you personally see me steal the holy artifact of Tai Xu Holy Ground?" Qin Luo pressed further.

"But you have it in your hand..."

Before Liu Ruyan could finish, Qin Luo cut her off. "Answer me. Did you personally witness it?"

"No," Liu Ruyan replied honestly.

"Then why are you acting as a witness? Liu Ruyan, are you fabricating this out of thin air?"

"No, it's not like that!" Liu Ruyan immediately pushed Ye Chen forward.

"Junior Brother Ye saw you kill our fellow disciples of Tai Xu Holy Ground with his own eyes!"

All eyes turned to Ye Chen once again. No longer pretending, Ye Chen stepped forward.

It was a life-or-death struggle between him and Qin Luo now. He had nothing left to fear.

"That's right. I personally witnessed Qin Luo killing our disciples of Tai Xu Holy Ground. And doesn't the Four Symbols Sword Technique and the Tai Xu Bell prove that you stole our treasures?"

"For your selfish gain, you killed our disciples and stole our holy artifact. Have you no regard for the nurturing and teachings of Tai Xu Holy Ground?"

"You're nothing but a selfish villain!"

No matter what, even if Qin Luo was a prince of the Great Qin Empire, Ye Chen was determined to pin the blame on him today. Even if Qin Luo returned to the Great Qin Empire, he would be condemned by others.

Qin Luo remained completely calm, clapping his hands. "Bravo, bravo. What an excellent framing scheme."

"However, I believe that you, Ye Chen, are the one who killed the disciples of Tai Xu Holy Ground, stole the Tai Xu Bell, and took the Four Symbols Sword Technique."

Ye Chen sneered. "Qin Luo, the evidence is clear. Are you still trying to deny it? Do you really think everyone in Tai Xu Holy Ground is blind?"

He didn't believe Qin Luo could turn the tables.

Qin Luo shook his head subtly, ignoring Ye Chen, and turned to Fang Xing. "Marquis Fang Xing, may I inspect the ring in his possession?"

"After all, I represent the Great Qin Empire. A prince of the empire cannot bear false accusations. Don't you agree?"

At these words, a flicker of panic crossed Ye Chen's face. He had never expected Qin Luo to demand a search of his ring.
