your cultivation has been destroyed; not even half a level is left.""What" Zhao Yanzi’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the Zhao Kuo on the bed.The once invincible Zhao Kuo had instantly be...Chapter 745 - Never Leaving the Hall!
In a secret chamber on the topmost floor of the Dragon God Hall, the nine vice hall masters stood in pairs along both sides of the room.
The robed hall master still faced the wall and had his back to the door, seemingly immobile for hundreds of years.
Regarding Huo Ren's specific punishment, each of the six vice hall masters had their own opinions.
Huo Ren was a complex figure, and the East Sea Dragon Palace was becoming more powerful by the day. With his status as an Inspector removed, the Dragon God Hall could now deal with him according to the rules governing dragon cultivators.
However, their views on whether to be lenient or strict differed widely among the six vice hall masters.
The other three peak Gān-level vice hall masters remained silent. Among the nine vice hall masters, only they could roughly guess the hall master's intentions.
Especially Yu Zilong, who had interacted with Huo Ren and personally captured him, guessed that the hall master wanted to neither punish nor imprison Huo Ren but simply release him after a few days.
The other two peak Gān-level vice hall masters could also vaguely guess the hall master's thoughts. The hall master himself had instructed them to give Third Rank Inspector Qin Shao Yang life support, even using an extremely precious fifth-grade pill, thereby trying to classify this incident as a private fight.
Qin Shao Yang was severely wounded and nearly dead; the Dragon God Hall's intervention was partly due to his status as an Inspector but also because it was the hall master's order to save him.
The release of those three Golden Dragons was also the hall master's decision. However, this wasn't out of respect for Qin Shao Yang; a mere Third Rank Inspector had no authority to free prisoners from the Sky牢 (Heavenly Prison).
Since Huo Ren participated in the Dragon God Hall's examinations and showed promise, they noticed that the hall master took special interest in this Gèn-level young cultivator and even sent Vice Hall Master Yu Zilong, who ranked third among the nine vice hall masters for strength, to Donghai City.
The vice hall masters of the Dragon God Hall were like Human cultivators at the Transcendent stage—rarely seen. Thus, there were many speculations about them outside.
Only three peak Gān-level vice hall masters usually appeared publicly, leading people to believe that the Dragon God Hall only had three such powerhouses. Those Fourth Rank Inspectors who occasionally interacted with these vice hall masters thought Yu Zilong was the weakest among them.
In reality, nine of the Dragon God Hall's vice hall masters were peak Gān-level!
Yu Zilong, who ascended to power through martial prowess, ranked third among them!
When it came to top-tier battles, only the Golden Dragons' Elders Assembly could rival the Dragon God Hall—eight peak Gān-level cultivators.
But with Wang Shitong's sudden death in Donghai City and Tàiyí Cave Lord seriously injured by Zhao Kuo of the East Sea, the Elders Assembly controlling the Golden Dragons had lost two key figures.
Just as three vice hall masters remained silent while six argued among themselves, the stable Dragon God Hall suddenly trembled with a bang.
"Ho ho ho... Even my nephew and son you dare to capture"
A sharp yet piercing demonic voice directly entered the secret chamber on the topmost floor!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Dozens of Gān-Kūn level Third Rank Inspectors flew out of the black Dragon God Hall.
The Empress Zhen, wearing black short boots, blue jeans, and a gray plaid coat, gently pressed her jade hand against the barrier surrounding the Dragon God Temple. This barrier, which kept ordinary cultivators from entering, shattered instantly.
Seeing over ten乾坤-level cultivators fly out, Empress Zhen hid a smile behind her slender fingers as she softly called out two words: "Yao'er."
Duan Yao was wearing a gray and white turtleneck sweater and black pleated skirt. A leopard-print small bag slung diagonally across her shoulder.
She dashed forward from Empress Zhen's side, with two fiery wheels appearing under her feet and an additional pair of swords in her hands.
After the Kunlun lamp shattered, Empress Zhen collected its fragments. Using some secret methods of the demonic race, she infused them into Duan Yao’s body, allowing her cultivation to advance rapidly.
The human cultivator's path emphasized gradual progress, and any shortcuts or deviant practices were considered evil cultivation. However, the methods of the demonic race were precisely such rapid advancement techniques.
If one obtained a demonic race technique secretly and practiced it according to its instructions, they might achieve rapid gains in the beginning but would surely die later on.
This was mainly because without an accomplished demon king's guidance, books related to demon cultivation were considered forbidden texts. Cultivators practicing such techniques in secret had to be killed outright.
Duan Yao severed ties with Tian Mountain Sect and followed Empress Zhen, already determined to become a "demoness." She no longer cared about the old rules; after fusing the Kunlun lamp, she reached late-stage Core Formation Realm.
Xie Yujia standing beside Empress Zhen was secretly surprised when Duan Yao rushed forward.
Over ten乾坤-level cultivators were not necessarily something a peak乾-level could handle.
Duan Yao, with fiery wheels under her feet and double swords in hand, looked coldly beautiful as black hair fluttered behind her. She truly resembled a demoness.
"Clang clang clang..."
Her sword technique was elegant, stepping lightly on the fiery wheels, spinning gracefully, and the black pleated skirt unfurled like blossoms in rapid yet beautiful movements.
The small black leather shoes under her feet accentuated her slender legs, making them look like delicate flower buds. These were all bought by Empress Zhen for her at the city center.
Xie Yujia from Donghai University received a message from the Golden Shield and immediately contacted Lu L琳琳and Lu Li莉.
She originally planned to take the Lu family sisters to rescue Hao Ren at the Dragon God Temple. However, the fearless Lu sisters hesitated this time due to some special concerns they learned through the communication between the Golden Shield and Little White.
The sisters knew that Zhen C聰明 was captured too after their conversation with the Golden Shield and decided to go to the Demon Sea to find Empress Zhen.
They thought it would be extremely dangerous in the Demon Sea, but with Lu L琳琳and Lu Li莉 reaching the Nirvana Realm (though not yet stable), no demon dared to confront them when they saw the mark of Empress Zhen on Xie Yujia's shoulder.
Upon learning that Hao Ren and Zhen C聰明were captured by the Dragon God Temple, Empress Zhen agreed to rescue them. She brought Duan Yao out of the Demon Sea and came to Donghai City.
Xie Yujia and the Lu family sisters felt relieved when Empress Zhen appeared. However, instead of rushing into action, Empress Zhen calmly took Duan Yao shopping in Donghai City!
Her son being detained at the Dragon God Temple did not deter this mother from enjoying a pleasant shopping trip.
Just when Xie Yujia was about to go into the Dragon Deity Temple herself to rescue people, Concubine Zhen finally emerged from the dressing room with satisfaction, flying leisurely towards the Dragon Deity Temple with Duan Yao.
Zhen's mindset seemed like she wasn't rescuing anyone but touring around!
Ding ding ding...
Over ten third-level Heavenly Officials surrounded Duan Yao in a circle.
The dragon cultivators preferred close combat, unlike human cultivators who favored using magical treasures for long-range attacks. They encircled Duan Yao with weapons infused with Five Elements Spirit Energy to attack her from all sides.
Standing on her flaming wheels, Duan Yao's movements were graceful and agile; her black pleated skirt fluttered left and right, revealing her fair legs. Although she was the same age as Zhao Zhanzi, accompanying Concubine Zhen had given her a certain allure!
"Enough, Yao'er, no more playacting." Seeing that Duan Yao had started sweating, Concubine Zhen waved her hand while floating high in the air. A gust of demonic wind blew towards the dozen Heavenly Officials, sending them flying back several meters.
Standing on her flaming wheels again, Duan Yao suddenly returned to Concubine Zhen's side. She pouted, stowed her dual swords into her hands without a word, and looked rather flushed but quite alluring.
Bang!
At the same moment, nine deputy temple masters from the Dragon Deity Temple rushed out.
Zhen smiled faintly as she flicked her fingers one after another, releasing nine differently colored Spirit Energy spheres.
The nine rushing deputy temple masters hurriedly defended themselves.
But how could they withstand Concubine Zhen's power One by one, they flew back dozens of meters and landed on the platform.
A few attempted to fly up again, but with a light flick from Concubine Zhen, these deputy temple masters were forced back down and couldn't even jump up.
Xie Yujia watched in astonishment as she thought about her archery technique, gaining some insight.
Lu L琳琳和陸莉莉的表情也非常欣喜，甄妃如此厲害，看來要救郝仁出來應該冇有問題了。
她們已經在七層天裡鬨出動靜，指不定什麼時候就要回去了，就不敢在陸地繼續胡鬨了。
囚禁在天牢裡的秦少陽感到龍神殿的平台又劇烈搖晃了一下，急忙抓住中間比武台上的扶手，驚恐地看著黑色天花板。
而天牢中的囚犯們則先是慌亂一陣子，然後興奮地大喊起來。
嘭……
龍神殿再次劇烈搖晃起來，黑石結構互相碰撞，似乎就要崩塌了。
"Release them!"
Zhen's loud voice echoed from outside the Dragon Deity Temple.
翻譯為：
The expressions of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were also very delighted; with Concubine Zhen being so powerful, it seemed likely that rescuing Hao Ren would not be a problem.
They had already caused a commotion in the Seven Heavens and might return at any moment, so they did not dare to continue causing trouble on land.
Qin Shaoyang, imprisoned in the Celestial Prison, felt another violent shake from the platform of the Dragon Deity Temple. He quickly grabbed onto the railing of the arena in the middle and looked up fearfully at the black ceiling.
The prisoners in the Celestial Prison panicked for a moment before suddenly becoming excited and shouting loudly.
Boom...
The Dragon Deity Temple shook violently again, with the black stone structures shaking and seeming on the verge of collapse.
"Release them!"
Zhen's loud voice echoed from outside the Dragon Deity Temple.
The Tian Prison caught Qin Shaoyang from the arena and he barely stood up, straining to listen.
Since its establishment, this is the first time anyone has dared to attack the Dragon God Temple. This person seems very formidable!
I wonder who the Dragon God Temple is imprisoning that would make them get attacked like this
"Madam Hong... there's no need for anger."
A gentle voice suddenly echoed from within the Dragon God Temple.
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried far and wide.
"Kui! If you don't release them now, I'll expose your secrets and demolish your Dragon God Temple!" Princess Zhen shouted again.
Xie Yujia, floating high in the air on the cloud-like如意布, looked at Princess Zhen beside her and suddenly felt a powerful presence.
Half an hour ago, she was leisurely shopping downtown; half an hour later, she had shattered the protective barrier of the Dragon God Temple and forced its release!
"Madam Hong, are you forcing my hand" The voice from within the Dragon God Temple gradually became more stern.
The nine Sub-Palace Masters standing on the platform outside the Dragon God Temple raised their heads in shock, staring at the black Dragon God Temple's highest level.
A Palace Master who had faced the wall for hundreds of years and not shown a single sign of spiritual energy was about to break his own rule and take action!
Opposite them were two Soul Formation Realm cultivators and one Eon Demon King!
"Very well, if you act now, you'll have broken the permanent residence rule," Princess Zhen floated in mid-air with her arms crossed, saying coolly.
She wore a pair of golden earrings and had styled her hair to exude the calm and composed demeanor of an aristocratic lady.
Hearing this, the voice from within the Dragon God Temple fell silent.
*Click!*
The cells holding Hao Ren and Zhen Ciming in the Tian Prison automatically opened.
Qin Shaoyang was surprised to see Hao Ren emerge from his suddenly open cell.
Zhen Ciming, knowing that it was his mother who had come to rescue him, simply sat back in his cell and refused to leave.
A hidden force rose from Zhen Ciming's back, lifting him out of the opened stone door and expelling him suddenly from the Dragon God Temple.
Similarly, Hao Ren was also flung out by this unseen power without any resistance.
"Hmph!" Princess Zhen spread her arms wide as two forces rushed towards Hao Ren and Zhen Ciming to stabilize them. Han would also take up the role of a 'tutor'.After saying this, Su Han didn’t explain any further. She gracefully walked along the lakeside path towards the administrative building.The pace at which...
