Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace

Just then, waves of aura surged toward the sky from within the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.

Qin Heng, riding his Emperor Dragon, flew into the sky, and then he asked in a deep voice, ”It turns out to be Elder Ma Daoming from the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace. May I know what business you have with our palace master?”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s pupils shrank again.

The arrival of an elder from the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace likely meant that the rescue of Baili Que was not going smoothly.

Five days ago, upon learning that Baili Que was on the Long Question Mark Divine Sky Ship, Qin Heng had sent experts to rescue him.

Since Baili Que had been injured by members of the Heavenly Dao Palace and was also escorted back by them, the rescue would surely involve negotiations or conflicts with the people from the Heavenly Dao Palace...

Exactly what happened had not been communicated back.

And now, the sudden arrival of the elder from the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace was probably not a good sign.

Indeed, Ma Daoming from the Heavenly Dao Palace sneered at Qin Heng repeatedly and slowly replied, ”Seeking Shen Qingye, of course, to ask if she intends to fully declare war with my Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace.”

Ma Daoming’s voice thundered out, audible clearly throughout the entire Holy Dragon Palace.

At this moment, Sikong Jing took a light step and leaped onto the treetops, spotting a Divine Spaceship at the entrance of the Holy Dragon Palace, with a flag fluttering in the wind bearing the words ”Heavenly Dao Palace,” flying brilliantly and imposingly.

Clearly, the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace had flown into the Holy Dragon Palace aboard their Divine Spaceship.

Standing tall at the bow of the Divine Spaceship was an elderly man in a green robe with white hair, indeed Ma Daoming.

Opposite the Heavenly Dao Palace’s Divine Spaceship, leading members of the Holy Dragon Palace, including Qin Heng, rode various Demon Dragons, confronting each other head-on.

At that moment, Qin Heng calmly replied, ”Elder Ma, what do you mean by this statement?”

With a sneer, Ma Daoming suddenly shouted, ”Bring up the people of the Holy Dragon Palace!”

As the words fell, more than twenty people were escorted out by the experts from the Heavenly Dao Palace at the bow of the Divine Spaceship. These people were dressed in the attire of the Holy Dragon Palace and were the experts sent by the Holy Dragon Palace to rescue Baili Que five days ago.

”Vice Palace Master Qin...”

The moment they were brought up, these more than twenty people yelled out simultaneously, their faces extraordinarily pale.

Sikong Jing scanned from a distance but did not spot Baili Que among them.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Ma Daoming sealed the voices of the more than twenty Holy Dragon Palace experts and sneered coldly again, ”Qin Heng, do you now understand my intentions?”

A sparkle flashed through Qin Heng’s eyes; he certainly understood that not only had the rescue of Baili Que failed, but the experts sent were also captured by the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace, and Ma Daoming had even brazenly come to the Holy Dragon Palace to accuse them.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Heng replied, ”Elder Ma, I still don’t understand.”

”They were the ones I sent to rescue Baili Que, the chief of Dark Dragon Mountain. I don’t see how they could have offended your Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace,” Qin Heng feigned ignorance about the fact that Baili Que had been injured by members of the Heavenly Dao Palace and gently countered.

However, Ma Daoming could see right through him and sneered.

”Qin Heng, you really know how to pretend!”

”Since you’re so good at pretending, let me clarify the sequence of events for you.”

”Firstly, Baili Que wanted to seize our Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace’s Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core. She was injured by our students who, out of consideration that she was a member of the Holy Dragon Palace, spared her life and sent her back.”

”On the Long Question Mark Divine Sky Ship, you ungratefully sought to kill my Heavenly Dao Palace students. Isn’t that seeking war?”

As these words were spoken, Qin Heng and his companions’ faces contorted with anger.

Since when did the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core become the property of the Heavenly Dao Palace?

The Cold Flame Forest, where the Thousand Cold Red Lotus Core was located, was certainly not the territory of the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace.

Moreover, the students of the Heavenly Dao Palace did not spare Baili Que because she was a student of the Holy Dragon Palace but because of Li Zizhen’s relationship with Lang Yizhan from the Wanbao Pavilion. It was Lei Zizhen who did not want Baili Que to die.

But Ma Daoming spoke so righteously and solemnly as if he were the epitome of justice.

Before Qin Heng could retort, Ma Daoming’s True Qi surged towards him as he said, ”If I hadn’t just happened to pass by, my Heavenly Dao Palace’s students would have been killed by you masters... Now my Heavenly Dao Palace needs an explanation.”

”Wuuu wuuu wuuu...”

As soon as he finished speaking, about twenty Holy Dragon experts shook their heads vigorously, obviously denying Ma Daoming’s accusations.

However, they had been silenced and could not speak at all.

Qin Heng’s fists clenched tightly, crackling with tension... he of course knew Ma Daoming was spouting nonsense; the people he had sent were merely there to rescue Baili Que and certainly wouldn’t have stirred up trouble by killing students from the Heavenly Dao Palace!

They were still entangled in matters with the Xingluo Palace, how could they possibly provoke the Heavenly Dao Palace?

”Elder Ma, what kind of explanation would you like?” A few breaths later, Qin Heng finally let go of his fists and asked in a low voice.

As before, the Holy Dragon Palace could not afford to provoke the Heavenly Dao Palace, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now with Baili Que missing and more than twenty Holy Dragon experts in Ma Daoming’s grip, even knowing his claims were false, the Holy Dragon Palace had no choice but to endure.

Huo Yanmei and others also clenched their teeth tightly, forcibly suppressing their anger.

Ma Daoming smiled, then began speaking with a small smile, ”It’s simple; I hear that the Qilong Mountain Road of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace is transformed from the meridian of an Ancient Demon Dragon. Grant my Heavenly Dao Palace access to research it for a month, and this matter can be forgotten.”

Upon hearing this, the color drained from the faces of Qin Heng and his group.

The seven paths of Qilong Mountain are the foundation of the Holy Dragon Palace; how could they possibly be opened to the Heavenly Dao Palace?

Qin Heng’s face was immensely dark, and he spoke with a murderous aura, ”Impossible, propose another condition, or it will be a fight to the death.”

Ma Daoming’s expression remained unchanged as he shrugged his shoulders.

”Don’t speak so harshly; it’s just changing the condition. It’s not impossible.”

”He Jia, come out for a moment!”

As soon as the words were spoken, a young man stepped forward onto the deck.

He faintly curved his lips into a smile, looking arrogantly at everyone from the Holy Dragon Palace.

And Ma Daoming chuckled, ”Qin Heng, this is He Jia, a student from our Inner Palace of the Heavenly Dao Palace. If any of your students can make him take a step back, I will let your people go.”

With these words, Qin Heng and the others looked at each other, wondering what Ma Daoming was really aiming for.

”However, if no student from the Holy Dragon Palace can make He Jia step back... then He Jia must be allowed to walk up those seven paths once. My condition should be quite favorable, right?”

Saying this, Ma Daoming stared at Qin Heng, laughing derisively.

They obviously hadn’t come to start a war; he was very clear the seven paths were the foundation of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, and even if it meant a full-on conflict or a fight to the death, Qin Heng wouldn’t open them up, so he offered an alternative.

The Qilong Mountain Road needed to be researched, but they would just have He Jia go up.

At that moment, He Jia pointed a finger.

He pointed toward Qilong Mountain and arrogantly said, ”In the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, Dark Dragon Mountain Chief Baili Que fell to me within three moves. All your Holy Dragon Palace students are trash; none can make me take a step back.”

”The seven Dragon Veins of the Qilong Mountain Road, I, He Jia, have claimed them.”

His voice thunderously echoed throughout the Holy Dragon Palace, followed immediately by the roaring of dragons thundering through the skies.

Led by Qin Lao, one after another, Inner Palace students mounted their dragons, glaring deathly at He Jia on the Divine Spaceship, their faces flushed with rage.

He Jia’s words were undoubtedly the greatest insult to the students of the Holy Dragon Palace.

”Father, I request to fight; let me blow him away,” Qin Lao said to Qin Heng, firmly.
