Chapter 1357 Conflict Begins (33)

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Conflict Begins! (3/3) Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Conflict Begins! (3/3) “So this is the Crown Prince of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty?” said Huangmanzi, standing mid-air, looking down at the Crown Prince with a cold laugh, “Brought people with you? But what of it? This place is the Desolate City in the desert, not your Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty!”

With that, Huangmanzi spread his arms wide.

Suddenly, everyone around him and behind him burst out with a robust aura!

Billows of sand surged, sweeping around the tavern like a sandstorm!

It seemed that if anyone in the tavern made a rash move, these sandstorms would shred the tavern and everyone inside to pieces.

Everyone inside wore a solemn expression.

Huangmanzi was right.

If these powers in the desert left for their territory, they wouldn’t be afraid at all; to them, these desert forces couldn’t pose any real threat.

But here in the desert, they were the local tyrants, after all, there were no other powers’ strongholds here, and reinforcements would take time to arrive.

Moreover, given the intricacy of the environment, even if reinforcements came, the home side could use environmental advantages to cause great trouble to external forces.

This was why groups like Huangmanzi’s were so arrogant.

“So, how about it, young talents? Why don’t you move to my place? The wine and meat are all ready, it would be a shame to waste it,” Huangmanzi said with a sneer, turning sideways and gesturing for them to come.

At this moment, the Holy Son of Xuanming laughed and responded, “That won’t be necessary; your wine and meat are quite scarce anyway, no need to prepare them for us. Better keep it for yourselves.”

The expressions of Huangmanzi and the other desert powers darkened.

The wine and meat mentioned here weren’t literal.

Would anyone truly think a powerful faction would lack such mundane things?

The implied meaning of the Holy Son of Xuanming was clear: their resources were scarce.

It was a blatant mockery.

Huangmanzi raised an eyebrow, “Is that so, you really won’t give this old man face?”

The lack of response was a clear no.

“Well then, I’d like to see just how tough your bones are!”

With that, Huangmanzi clapped his hands with a “snap.”

Suddenly, a great oppressive force descended on the entire tavern!

Many prodigies’ pupils abruptly narrowed, even their waists felt the pressure!

This was the pressure from a late-stage Demigod!

As the leader of Huangmanzi’s group, he naturally possessed such strength.

Even Blackie and others couldn’t help but look solemn.

Just then, a female voice calmly issued, “Elder, isn’t it beneath your group’s dignity to bully us juniors this way?”

“Dignity? Ha, to us, that thing is worth so few…” Huangmanzi spoke, following the direction of the voice with his eyes. When his gaze landed on Bailu, his eyes nearly popped out!

Not just Huangmanzi, everyone from the desert powers had their eyes glued!

“Hahahaha!” Suddenly, Huangmanzi burst into laughter, “I didn’t expect the number one beauty of the Chaos Realm to be here.”

His eyes were undisguised in their greed, licking his lips, he lewdly said, “How about it, beauty? Come with us to the banquet, and if the others don’t want to join, it doesn’t matter.”

Bailu looked coolly at Huangmanzi, yet before she could say anything.

The Holy Son of Xuan Ming and Blackie simultaneously said, “That won’t do.”

The Holy Son of Xuan Ming was also slightly startled, turning his head to look at the standing Blackie and others.

Elder Huangmang frowned and said, “Is it your place to speak? Yet, Holy Son, you are truly a lovesick type. I’ve long heard that you’ve been pursuing Jiu Bailu. I can understand that, but what about you? Are you also driven by emotions?”

Blackie calmly said, “We don’t have such intentions, but I have a junior who might have a connection with this fairy-like lady.”

It wasn’t just Elder Huangmang; the Holy Son of Xuan Ming also had an extremely ugly expression.

Jiu Bailu’s lips slightly curled upwards.

“This is truly troublesome.” Elder Huangmang shook his hand impatiently and shouted loudly, “Since that’s the case, let’s give you a taste of hardship!”

Just as Elder Huangmang was about to make a move.

Suddenly, in front of Elder Huangmang and the others, dozens of figures with powerful auras appeared.

“Elder Huangmang, isn’t it a bit too much to make a move against these youngsters?” These words were spoken by the First Elder of the Mixed Spirit Academy.

Not far from him, an elder dressed in dark green robes also looked indifferently at Elder Huangmang, “So, are you planning to start a war with the dozens of forces present here?”

This elder was the Protector of the Holy Son of Xuan Ming, possessing the strength of a Demigod at the Beginner Stage.

At the same time, an elder seemingly appeared out of nowhere next to the Crown Prince, and it was unexpectedly Elder Chu!

“Oh? Start a war? Do you dare?” Elder Huangmang laughed loudly, “All of you outwardly righteous forces, willing to abandon immense benefits to come to this godforsaken desert, and you’d be willing to pay a huge price to besiege us?”

“I dare say that none of you will do such a thing, and if you dare, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after paying the price, other forces will immediately come to attack you.”

Elder Huangmang knew the external forces well.

In the entire Chaos Realm, this was basically the situation.

It’s just that in the desert, this situation is more out in the open.

One likes to resort to violence if they’re not obeyed, the other prefers to harbor a knife behind a smile.

That’s the difference.

At this moment, the First Elder chuckled and said, “You’re quite right about that. But how about we think about this from another angle?”

Elder Huangmang looked at the First Elder and laughed loudly, “The First Elder of the Mixed Spirit Academy? I have quite a respect for your academies, unlike those hypocritical fellows. Out of respect, I’m all ears!”

The First Elder nodded, “The mystic realm is about to open, and you must also be aware that this inheritance mystic realm is the tomb of a prince from the Chaos Divine Dynasty a million years ago. You all know what that implies.”

“Within the tomb, there are likely countless traps. Are you sure you want to start a war before the tomb opens? Even if you manage to hold the people here, you’d have to pay a huge price.”

“Moreover, although the external forces won’t launch an all-out assault on you, they will surely send people. Will you still be able to search the tomb peacefully then?”

Upon hearing this, the ferocious smile on Elder Huangmang’s face slowly receded.

“Humph, no fun, it seems there are still some smart people around.”

Elder Huangmang turned and said, “In that case, I’ll remember this. Let’s see the truth in the tomb!”

After saying this, he waved his hand and left with the forces of the desert.

After all the desert forces had departed.

The First Elder and other high-ranking individuals also left in succession.

After this incident, the banquet obviously couldn’t continue.

Before leaving, the Holy Son of Xuan Ming glanced at Blackie, his expression ugly as he said, “Don’t forget, we still have a battle to fight. Oh, and there’s Mu Fusheng too, it’s just too bad he’s nothing but a shrinking turtle.”
