I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!
Chapter 254 The Serpent-Slaying Ceremony
Bai Jinghong's arrival shocked everyone!
Two completely different emotions then appeared on the faces of the two groups of people in the square below.
The Dragon Tiger Sect members, whose faces had initially turned grim, immediately became both surprised and delighted, and they almost clenched their fists and shouted with excitement.
On the other hand, Qin Li and his group, who were confident of victory, gradually turned pale.
Because a grandmaster can withstand an army of ten thousand, Bai Jinghong's arrival will directly determine the outcome of this battle.
"Brother, didn't you say Bai Jinghong had disappeared somewhere? How come he's here now?" Zhang Hu asked Zhang Long excitedly, trembling with excitement.
Although Bai Jinghong on the eagle's back has not yet declared his side.
But Zhang Hu knew that Bai Jinghong was definitely on the side of their Dragon Tiger Gate.
Based on the fact that Bai Jinghong contributed a lot when Snake Elder was captured, Bai Jinghong would definitely not help Qin Li.
Therefore, Bai Jinghong's visit this time is definitely to help the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Unlike Zhang Hu, Zhang Long wasn't too excited, because he already knew Bai Jinghong would come, and he was the one who invited Bai Jinghong.
Although he had told Zhang Hu that he didn't know where Bai Jinghong had gone and that by the time Bai Jinghong arrived, it would be too late, he still secretly sent people to search for Bai Jinghong and told him that he must come to help in the battle today, and that he would be richly rewarded afterwards.
This is his backup plan, his trump card.
Upon seeing Bai Jinghong arrive, the martial arts sects who had originally joined the Dragon Tiger Sect to fight against the Sword Immortal and Snake Elder, but had dropped their weapons after being frightened by Qin Li, secretly picked up their weapons again.
Zhang Long didn't say anything when he saw this. In his eyes, these people were nothing more than begging dogs, the kind that would wag their tails if given a bone.
What he really cares about is the other person's attitude!
Zhang Long smirked smugly, staring at Qin Li, and chuckled, "Your Highness, what do you say? Are you still going to protect this demonic cultivator?"
"How about this? If the Crown Prince kneels down and begs me now, I'll release your master. What do you say?"
After saying that, Zhang Long burst into wild laughter, and Zhang Hu and the others couldn't help but laugh along, completely losing their composure and displaying extreme mockery.
For the crown prince to kneel down and beg a mere江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world), it's an incredibly prestigious thing to do.
From now on, Zhang Long will be the number one person in the martial arts world, even grandmasters can't compare to him!
Hearing these words, Zhou Biao and the others looked extremely grim, gripping the hilts of their knives tightly.
His Highness is the current Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the nation!
When have I ever suffered such an insult? Especially from someone who is even worse than a bandit.
"Your Highness, give the order. As soon as you give the command, we'll rush over and chop off their dogs' heads."
"So what if Bai Jinghong comes? He's just a master at escaping. I, Zhou Biao, can hold him off by myself!"
"Yes, Your Highness, please give the order!"
There was no fear on their faces, nor any intention to surrender; only an inextinguishable flame of war burned within them.
Qin Li didn't answer, but turned to look at Elder Snake and Li Fuyao behind him, and asked, "Master, Senior Sword Immortal, how are you feeling?"
The old snake said in a hoarse voice, "Li'er, your master here can still hold on."
They were captured and tortured by Zhang Long and Zhang Hu for so long.
He's still alive, how could he possibly perish today?
Li Fuyao said with a smile, "My sword hasn't broken yet, so I won't fall."
Seeing that none of his own men showed any sign of retreating, Qin Li finally looked up at the other side.
"Your Highness, have you made up your mind?"
Zhang Long laughed smugly, already impatient for Qin Li to kneel down before him.
Qin Li glanced at Zhang Long, then looked up at the middle-aged man in white soaring on the eagle's back, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight. "Is this Bai Jinghong? Don't just bring some imposter!"
In the sky, Bai Jinghong stood on the back of a giant eagle, lingering there, circling in circles above the square. No one could even see his face clearly.
"Your Highness, stop making excuses for your failures. No one in this world would be foolish enough to impersonate a grandmaster."
The Great Zhou Dynasty has three Grandmasters, and no one has ever heard of anyone daring to impersonate them.
Qin Li laughed and said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll know as soon as Bai Jinghong comes down and sees it."
"No one in the world would be stupid enough to impersonate a grandmaster, but you, Zhang Long, are capable of anything."
Zhang Long dares to catch even a snake, let alone hold a snake-slaying ceremony. There's nothing he wouldn't dare to do. It's not impossible for him to find someone to impersonate a grandmaster.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Dragon Tiger Sect immediately panicked again.
If what Qin Li said is true, then Zhang Long is just using someone else's power to intimidate others.
"Brother, tell him quickly that what he said isn't true."
To be honest, Zhang Hu was also a little flustered, unsure whether the white figure in the sky was real.
"Even on the verge of death, they're still being stubborn!"
Zhang Long cursed angrily, then cupped his hands high towards Bai Jinghong in the sky and said loudly, "Please come down and meet me, Senior Jinghong."
Bai Jinghong was quite accommodating, jumping off the eagle's back and landing steadily!
To jump from such a height and be completely unharmed requires the skill of a master.
However, Qin Li still harbored doubts and looked at the people around him, asking:
"Is this the Grandmaster Bai Jinghong?"
The two people who know Bai Jinghong best are Snake Elder and Li Fuyao.
Both of them nodded and said, "It's him, no doubt."
Li Fuyao might mistake Bai Jinghong, but Snake Elder certainly wouldn't.
This time, Snake Elder was captured by the Dragon Tiger Sect because he was ambushed from behind by Bai Jinghong.
Snake had long ago sworn that he and Bai Jinghong would never be enemies, even to the death.
Even if Bai Jinghong turned to ashes, he would still recognize her.
"Haha, Senior Jinghong, your arrival is just in time! If you hadn't come, I would have truly lost!"
Zhang Long laughed heartily, cupped his hands in greeting, and stepped forward to Bai Jinghong's side.
Bai Jinghong's expression was actually not very good. Helping the Dragon Tiger Sect capture Snake Elder was the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life.
Currently, the opposing camp still includes Crown Prince Qin Li.
In the future, there will be no place for him in this Great Zhou Dynasty.
He had already made up his mind to leave Da Zhou as soon as he received the generous reward promised by Zhang Long.
With his formidable strength as a grandmaster, he was able to thrive even in other countries.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. I'm getting a little uneasy."
After landing, Bai Jinghong kept scanning her surroundings with her eyes, sensing that danger was imminent.
And this premonition is getting stronger and stronger!
Seeing Bai Jinghong like this, Zhang Long couldn't help but complain in his heart... No wonder Bai Jinghong, although he is also a grandmaster, has always been ranked after Snake Elder and Li Fuyao. He is too timid.
However, since Bai Jinghong had already said so, he couldn't disobey.
If Bai Jinghong were to back out, it would be too late for him to regret it.
Even with just the few high-level martial artists around Qin Li, he wouldn't be able to deal with him.
Not to mention, there are also two grandmasters, Li Fuyao and Snake Elder. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although they are both injured now, they can't be defeated in a short time.
"I will obey Senior Jinghong's command!"
Bowing deeply to Bai Jinghong, Zhang Long looked back at the other side and uttered his final, harsh words:
"Crown Prince, why don't you surrender? With Senior Jinghong here to assist you, you have no chance of winning!"
Qin Li said, "Zhang Long, do you know the consequences of opposing me? Even if you win in the end, you will not escape the court's reckoning."
Zhang Long chuckled: "Your Highness need not worry about that."
Qin Li said, "I know what you're planning. You're going to capture all of us and then try to absorb the power of my master, Snake Elder, and Sword Immortal Senior, so that you and your brother Zhang Hu can advance to the Grandmaster level."
"With two grandmasters in one family, the imperial court really can't do anything about it."
Zhang Long smiled smugly: "It's good that Your Highness knows."
That was exactly what he was planning, and for that, his martial arts sect was willing to break ties with Crown Prince Qin Li.
As long as he and his younger brother Zhang Hu can successfully advance to the Grandmaster level, even the Great Zhou Dynasty will be powerless against them, and might even treat them as honored guests.
He's gambling, gambling on a huge future!
"Alright, Your Highness, stop talking nonsense. No matter how much time you delay, no one will come to your rescue. Surrender now."
After saying that, Zhang Long led the group to surround Qin Li and his group.
Bai Jinghong stood by and watched from the sidelines.
With a master like him around, Qin Li and his group had no chance of winning.
Bai Jinghong, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly noticed that many eagles had appeared circling in the sky.
These eagles were not as large as his spirit pets; they were just ordinary eagles. But Bai Jinghong felt something was wrong.
He had only seen this scene in one place: the border region.
Thinking of this, Bai Jinghong involuntarily widened his eyes and stared intently at the eagles circling in the sky.
No, those eagles aren't wild; they're trained by the army to scout and intimidate the enemy...
