Supreme Dragon Seal

Five hundred people!

All the elders were shocked. Just the Heavenly Mountain Peak alone was going to mobilize five hundred people. If the other four Holy Lands also sent five hundred people each, then a total of two thousand five hundred people would be mobilized from the five Holy Lands.

What does this mean? It means that the situation is already very serious.

“Yao Rao, you go and select people to assist Archbishop Mark and the Chief Judge,” Venerable Cloud Turner said to Yao Rao.

“Yes, Mountain Lord.” Although Yao Rao was somewhat surprised in her heart, she still agreed. According to reason, she had the shortest seniority, so she shouldn’t be responsible for such important matters.

The news of selecting people to destroy the dark faction quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Mountain Peak, and the entire mountain became lively, with many disciples wanting to join.

Although confronting the dark faction was very risky, it was an excellent opportunity for training and the rewards were abundant.

“Master, I also want to go,” Princess Ming Yue said to Katie.

“Master received information that the recent uprising of the dark faction has affected a large area, and many old fellows may have appeared. It’s quite dangerous,” Katie frowned and said. Ming Yue was a good seedling, and her strength as a King-grade mage could dominate in the outside world, but in Katie’s eyes, her strength was still somewhat weak. If anything happened to her, wouldn’t it be a great pity?

Ming Yue looked firmly at Katie. She wasn’t afraid of danger. She wanted to grow quickly. She wanted…

Suddenly, the image of Yao Rao’s stunning appearance appeared in Ming Yue’s mind. She wanted to surpass her.

She didn’t know why she was so determined to surpass Yao Rao and not anyone else. She couldn’t explain it herself, but she had a feeling that she didn’t want to be beneath Yao Rao more than anyone else.

Seeing Ming Yue’s determined eyes, Katie sighed softly and said, “Go, I will inform Eighteenth Elder.”

“Thank you, Master,” Ming Yue expressed her gratitude.

…

The Sunset Royal City, like all the royal cities of other countries, is both the same and different.

What is the same is the beautiful environment constructed with the efforts of the entire nation, but what is different is that it is not as crowded as the royal cities of other countries.

The streets of Sunset Royal City never experience overcrowding. There are always small groups of people or carriages passing through the quiet streets.

That’s because, in addition to the royal palace, all the major government offices of Sunset Royal City are located outside the city. And all industries related to production and trade are also situated outside the city. Naturally, the royal city appears particularly peaceful.

Qi Bei stood on the streets of the royal city, feeling somewhat amazed. It was truly a unique city, a city that made people not want to leave once they arrived.

He didn’t rush to find the person that the patriarch had mentioned. Instead, he found accommodation in an inn opposite the gate of the Sunset Royal Academy.

The person the patriarch mentioned was inside the Sunset Royal Academy.

Qi Bei sat on the windowsill. It was twilight, and the students of the academy were pouring out like a swarm, creating a bustling atmosphere.

Those young and tender faces, some serene, some exuberant, they laughed and played, making Qi Bei suddenly feel a sense of nostalgia.

“Youth is really wonderful.” Qi Bei was only eighteen, but he felt as if his heart was filled with weariness. Killing and conspiracies had brought him to this world less than three years ago, but it felt as if he had experienced thirty years.

The world of martial arts is like a knife, every cut hastening aging.

Qi Bei’s gaze wandered among the students of the academy. Most of them were apprentices or at the novice level, with only one or two at the intermediate level.

This was a comprehensive academy with both Magic and a Battle Qi Academy, each with further specialized divisions.

The students of the Magic Academy wore identical magic robes, while the students of the Battle Qi Academy wore tight-fitting battle armor.

At this moment, not far from the entrance of the academy, several male and female students were having a dispute.

“Huo Sitian, don’t be shameless. It’s your good fortune that I, Jin Li, am interested in you,” a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old said arrogantly to a girl of about twelve or thirteen, who had a delicate appearance.

“I’m not interested in you. Get lost, or I’ll have my sister deal with you,” the girl said coldly, flipping her braided hair.

“Sister? Haha, your sister is about to get married, and your Huo family is going to be finished,” the boy mocked and laughed maniacally.

“You…you’re lying,” the girl said firmly.

“Do you think I would lie to you? Behave and follow me, and I’ll make sure nothing happens to you. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be sold to a brothel,” the boy scoffed.

The girl became anxious and turned to go home to get some clarification.

However, the boy blocked the girl from leaving. He laughed and said, “You think you can run away? If I don’t kiss your little mouth today, my name isn’t Jin Li.”

The girl panicked, turned her head, and slapped the boy across the face.

Jin Li, with the strength of a novice warrior, had no problem dealing with a apprentice mage up close. He grabbed Huo Sitian’s small hand firmly and forcefully pinned her against the wall.

“Surround them, all of you,” Jin Li called out to his lackeys who were with him.

The group of students quickly surrounded Jin Li and Huo Sitian, laughing and ignoring the onlookers in the distance.

Jin Li grinned and was about to kiss the cherry-like, tender lips of Huo Sitian.

“Ah…” Huo Sitian was so desperate that tears began to flow. Jin Li had pursued her before, but always with a pleasing expression. However, today he acted like a beast, attempting to force a kiss on her. It’s worth noting that although the Jin family was one of the three major families in the Sunset Kingdom, they always considered the Huo family’s opinion.

“Huo Sitian, Huo Siqin, are they sisters?” Qi Bei had clearly overheard their conversation and thought to himself. As he witnessed Jin Li attempting to forcefully kiss Huo Sitian, he was ready to intervene.

But just then, a shining sword descended from above and struck Jin Li’s mouth hard.

Jin Li let out a scream of agony, stumbling back a few steps with blood in his mouth.

In mid-air, a petite figure descended from above and kicked away Jin Li’s followers.

“Feng Ruoyu, how come this girl is here too?” Qi Bei was stunned for a moment. He saw a stunning girl dressed in the tight battle armor of the Battle Qi Academy at the Sunset Royal Academy. Given her appearance, who could it be if not Feng Ruoyu?

However, after not seeing each other for two years, Feng Ruoyu had grown taller and slimmer. Her round chubby face had become slightly thinner, but she exuded even more vitality than before. Her beauty was no less than that of her sister, Feng Ruoyun, and even had a hint of surpassing her.

But Qi Bei still recognized her at a glance, and her angry expression was still so cute.

However, how did the young miss of the Feng family, under the Golden Leaf Empire, enter the academy of the Falling Sunset Kingdom? Perhaps he should ask her about it.

“Feng Ruoyu, what business is it of yours?” Jin Li seemed afraid of Feng Ruoyu. Although he was questioning her, his gaze evaded hers and his tone was weak.

“Huo Siqin is my good sister, and her sister is my sister. So what? Do you want to get beaten up?” Feng Ruoyu swayed the long sword in her hand and coldly snorted.

“Hmph, you may protect her for a while, but can you protect her for a lifetime? The Huo family is going to be finished, just wait and see,” Jin Li said fiercely before leaving with his lackeys in a dejected manner.

“Thank you, Sister Ruoyu. But now I need to go home and check on something,” Huo Sitian expressed her gratitude.

“I’ll go with you,” Feng Ruoyu said.

“Okay.” Huo Sitian nodded, and the two girls quickly ran towards the Huo family.

Little did they know that a bearded man was secretly trailing behind them.
