**Boom…**
The deafening roar erupted completely, and the earth rumbled loudly. The Blood-Pupiled Behemoth’s body collapsed to the ground at this moment, gasping for breath, its vital energy almost shattered. The other dozen or so people also landed one by one.
“Miss Simo, are you alright?” a late-stage Realm Cultivator looked at the woman with concern.
The woman’s figure slowly descended to the ground, and the young man named Shi Chen’an had already hurried over.
“I told you, just watch, but you insisted on taking action. Now you’ve exhausted yourself!” Shi Chen’an said.
Simo’s face turned pale, but she waved her hand and said, “I’m fine. Only by dealing with this big fellow can we focus on harvesting the Nine-Origin Mist Lotus.”
Shi Chen’an looked into the valley and couldn’t help but smile, “The Lingjian Pavilion is quite reliable in handling affairs. I didn’t expect that there would really be a Nine-Origin Mist Lotus in this virtual land. In that case, you and I have truly accomplished a great feat!”
Simo smiled bitterly, “Such a treasure as the Nine-Origin Mist Lotus, you and I might at most get a small share. The nine lotus leaves will probably be divided up among the few in our clan who have reached the Saintly Heaven Realm.”
Hearing this, Shi Chen’an could only let out a bitter smile as well. The two of them were the pride of their clan, and obtaining the Nine-Origin Mist Lotus was indeed a significant achievement. However, the value of the Nine-Origin Mist Lotus was so precious that the amount that would actually be allocated to them would be minimal. But on the other hand, if the elders in their clan could use the Nine-Origin Mist Lotus to enhance themselves, it would be a great benefit to the family. As members of the clan, they would be able to achieve greater improvement under the protection of their elders.
Simo looked ahead and smiled slightly, “Alright, let’s get ready to collect the Mist Lotus.”
“Sure,” Shi Chen’an nodded, then added with a smile, “But the bait has been laid, the fish has taken the bait, and it’s time for us to reel them in.”
Upon hearing this, Simo’s face also turned cold, and she looked towards the distance. “Prince Seven has been following us for days. Wasn’t this the moment you were waiting for?” Simo’s voice was clear and cold.
On the other side of the valley entrance, figures emerged from the darkness. A group of over a dozen people, led by a young man with long hair tied up and dressed in a cyan python robe, embroidered with fiery python patterns, giving him a rather resolute appearance.
“Shi Chen’an, Simo, you two knew I was following you all along?” the young man asked with a smile.
“Yes, ever since we left the Tianhuang Continent, you quietly took your people and left as well…” Shi Chen’an replied with a chuckle, “At first, we thought you had some business to attend to, but later we realized you were following us…”
“These past few days, you must have gone through a lot of trouble, following us carefully and hiding, enduring quite a bit of hardship, Prince Seven,” Shi Chen’an continued.
Prince Seven’s expression remained calm, but his eyes showed a few more complex emotions as he looked at the brother and sister. “Since you know, then you should also understand what I want to do,” he said coldly.
“Of course, we know…” Shi Chen’an flipped his palm, revealing a broad knife, and looked at Prince Seven with a smile, “To kill us!”
The atmosphere in the field immediately became tense.
Prince Seven looked at the unhurried brother and sister and couldn’t help but ask, “You seem… not surprised?”
“Of course not!” Shi Chen’an laughed, “Do you think we left the Tianhuang Continent secretly and came to the Tianyuan Continent without reason? How did you think you found out about it? It was a message we deliberately released!”
“To lure you, Prince Seven, here, to silently kill you!” Simo added coldly, “If I hadn’t taken action just now, you would have continued to wait for the right moment, wouldn’t you, Prince Seven?”
Hearing this, Prince Seven’s expression froze.
“Shu Dun, what do you think?” Simo called out into the night, her voice calm.
The sound of rustling footsteps arose, and figures appeared at this moment, blocking the retreat of Prince Seven and his group of over a dozen people.
The leader of the group was a young man with long, loose hair, tall and sturdy, with a square face and thick eyebrows, looking rather simple and honest.
“Shu Dun!” Prince Seven’s gaze fell on the young man, his eyes cold and his voice indifferent, “Your Shu family has indeed joined forces with the Shi family!”
Shu Dun scratched his head and laughed naively, “Huang Yu, your Huang clan is no longer capable of managing such a vast territory as the Tianhuang Continent. Therefore, the Tianhuang Continent should no longer be dominated by your Huang clan!”
Prince Seven’s face turned fierce as he said, “If our Huang clan is not worthy, then do you think your Shu family or Shi family is?”
Hearing this, Shu Dun did not get angry but laughed and said, “Our Shu family is definitely not worthy either, but we never intended to unify the entire Tianhuang Continent!”
Prince Seven’s expression froze for a moment.
Shu Dun continued with a chuckle, “We just want your Huang clan to perish, and then the Tianhuang Continent will only have various families existing, governing together, like the Tianyuan Continent and the Tianxuan Continent…”
Upon hearing this, Prince Seven understood. In the past, the Tianhuang Empire was one of the dominant forces on the Tianhuang Continent. The rise of the ancestor Huang Chongtian unified all the major families and sects, establishing the only superpower on the Tianhuang Continent!
But ever since the ancestor Huang Chongtian disappeared, the Huang clan of the Tianhuang Empire has gradually shown signs of being unable to control the vast Tianhuang Continent. Various factions began to scheme against each other, weakening the Huang clan’s control over the region.
In recent years, the ambitions of various families have begun to surface. For example, the Shu family, originally a core branch of the top force Tian Shu Men on the Tianhuang Continent, was absorbed into the Tianhuang Empire, and Tian Shu Men disappeared. However, the Shu family has grown and thrived within the Tianhuang Empire. But all along, the Shu family has been relatively obedient to the imperial commands. Prince Seven did not expect that the Shi family had already joined forces with the Shu family.
This was extremely unfavorable for the imperial family!
“Let me see how much you, the once-heralded Prince Seven, are worth now!” Shu Dun’s voice fell, and with a grip of his palm, he swung his fists and charged straight at Prince Seven.
