Chapter 675: You Won’t Die if You Don’t Seek Death (6)
“If I remember it right, the Emperor is in his sixties. He had his son late in his life, and this is his only son. Should anything happen to Prince Long Yue, wouldn’t the royal lineage Longxuan Empire end with just him?” At that moment, Shen Yanxiao was like a demon from hell. She delivered this appalling remark in her bewitching tone.
Pei Yuan glared at Shen Yanxiao in disbelief. He could not imagine that those words could come out from a teenage girl.
“How dare you! As long as I, Pei Yuan, am still alive, there is nothing you can do to Long Yue!” Pei Yuan dragged Long Yue, who was still standing there in a complete daze, over and shielded Long Yue behind his back.
“You may have demons to help you. However, with the powers of White Marsh, you cannot stop me if I want to take Long Yue away!”
“State… state teacher, what about me? You cannot leave me behind. You must take me with you!” Knowing that Pei Yuan planned on running away with Long Yue, Li Qi felt his legs turning weak. He was no fool. He had learned clearly from Shen Yanxiao’s attitude that this girl was far from a coward. She was a devil! A devil!
Li Qi felt his legs were unable to support him as he thought of how he had verbally abused Shen Yanxiao from the moment they met. If Pei Yuan did not care about his life, then there would be no way out for him at all!
Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Pei Yuan. She then chuckled and shook her head.
“State teacher, do you think that you can leave just because you have a mythical beast with you?” Shen Yanxiao sized Pei Yuan up and down as if he was stating a funny fact.
Pei Yuan did not respond, as the White Marsh was all he had. High-ranked demons were powerful but it was realistically impossible for them to stop White Marsh if they were to run. Pei Yuan was confident that escaping with Long Yue would not be a hard matter even if he could not eliminate the demons in the city.
Pei Yuan summoned White Marsh at once.
In an instant, a mythical beast that was complete white emerged in the sky. The mythical beast had the shape of a horse with two horns on its head. The beast spread its wings, and its large body quickly covered up the sky.
“A mythical beast… I see. State teacher Pei Yuan, you must trust in the speed of your mythical beast.” Shen Yanxiao looked up at the White Marsh in the sky with a wry look in her eyes. With the corners of her mouth raised, she said to Pei Yuan arrogantly, “But I wonder, state teacher Pei Yuan, if White Marsh can escape the eight mythical beasts I have?”
As soon as Shen Yanxiao finished her sentence, the five standing behind Shen Yanxiao summoned their mythical beasts.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Qilin, the Yamata no Orochi, the Vermilion Bird who had been with Shen Yanxiao for this entire time, and the two Phoenixes that had arrived without anyone knowing.
The eight mythical beasts immediately changed to their beast forms at once. For a moment, up in the sky, White Marsh was surrounded by the Vermilion Bird, the Azure Dragon, Qilin, and the two Phoenixes.
White Marsh was formidable, but when faced with eight mythical beasts that had comparable strength, there was no hope.
One against eight.
The outcome was clear.
Pei Yuan was speechless.
He stared at the five mythical beasts in the sky with a dropped jaw and then shifted his gaze to the Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and the Yamata no Orochi on the ground. Looking at the scene, he found it hard to find his voice.
He had never thought that someone could summon eight mythical beasts with one order!
Eight mythical beasts! The total number of tamed mythical beasts in the Longxuan Empire was nothing more than this.
Looking at the eight mythical beasts, Pei Yuan recognized the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin, the guardian mythical beasts of the five great aristocratic families in the Longxuan Empire!
