Zhong Ling was left speechless, unsure of what to make of the situation.

Was the prince just not normal, or was his willpower truly that strong?

But thinking of the prince's terrifying strength, Zhong Ling shook her head, trying to clear her chaotic thoughts.

"His willpower is indeed strong, not swayed by external temptations, that's it!"

"Now, there's only one person left." Xiao Tian looked up, gazing at the blood-red pavilion ahead.

Zhong Ling smirked, knowing exactly who the prince was referring to.

The king of assassins in the Southern Wastelands, yet as timid as a mouse.

She had clearly seen Yun Zunlai, the Bloodcloud Pavilion Master, turn pale with fright upon witnessing Xiao Tian's terrifying power.

That shout to retreat earlier was also from this Bloodcloud Pavilion Master.

When his assassins scattered to draw Xiao Tian's attention, Yun Zunlai took the opportunity to escape and vanished without a trace.

At the Bloodcloud Pavilion Headquarters, in an ordinary single room.

This was a common resting place for assassins, and Yun Zunlai was hiding there, under the bed.

He had already opened the treasure vault of the Bloodcloud Pavilion, letting the treasure's glow and spiritual qi flow out.

Hoping to attract Xiao Tian's attention, so he would leave satisfied after looting it all.

"Damn it, damn it!" Yun Zunlai was drenched in sweat from fear, not daring to move from under the bed.

"The Great Yan Dynasty must have a big secret, otherwise how could this prince be so terrifying?"

The intelligence he had was very precise.

The Empress had chosen an ordinary man with no cultivation as her husband, for easy control.

Also, to silence the Prime Minister, preventing him from continuing to petition for her marriage.

Many eyes had once focused on Xiao Tian, and various detection methods confirmed one piece of information.

Xiao Tian had no cultivation, just a lucky gigolo.

"A bunch of fools, this guy is a monster!!" Yun Zunlai was furious inside, this Great Yan Prince indeed had no cultivation.

But his sheer physical strength was absurdly powerful.

These Floating Islands at the Bloodcloud Pavilion Headquarters were from an ancient relic he discovered in his early years.

Their strength was terrifying, capable of withstanding even a Tenth Tier Saint Realm existence for a while.

And yet?

Xiao Tian shattered them with a punch from afar!

Had he known Xiao Tian was this terrifying, Yun Zunlai would have surrendered long ago. Why would he confront such a monster?

It was all a misunderstanding!

Yun Zunlai's rise was due to the relic he found in his early years.

The texts inside the relic confirmed it belonged to the ancient Great Yan Empire.

Yes...

This Great Yan Empire seemed to have countless connections with the current Great Yan Dynasty.

Rumors said the current Great Yan Dynasty held a great secret.

So many forces focused their attention on the Great Yan Dynasty.

Having tasted the benefits, Yun Zunlai was naturally among them.

So when Xiao Tian appeared, breaking through the array to reach the headquarters, Yun Zunlai mistakenly thought he had some secret treasure from the Great Yan Dynasty to break the array.

After all, the Great Yan Dynasty and this Floating Island from the Great Yan Empire might be related.

Who could have guessed that this Great Yan Prince's power was absurdly terrifying?

Tap, tap...

Footsteps suddenly echoed in the hallway outside the room, and Yun Zunlai stopped his wild thoughts, holding his breath in fear.

The king of assassins used all his assassination skills to hide under the bed.

Not daring to move!

The footsteps gradually faded, seemingly going upstairs, likely attracted by the treasure vault.

Sensing this, Yun Zunlai knew his plan had succeeded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment, more footsteps approached, seemingly someone coming downstairs.

Yun Zunlai remained cautious, listening intently until the footsteps faded away, and he finally relaxed, collapsing against the floor, gasping for air.

"Finally gone..." Yun Zunlai exhaled, preparing to crawl out from under the bed.

As he turned over, he saw a face outside the bed, grinning at him.

"Found you!"

"Shit!" Yun Zunlai shuddered in fright, his soul nearly leaving his body.

The person lying on the floor, staring at him mockingly, was none other than Xiao Tian.

"Are you a child, hiding under the bed?" Xiao Tian's smile faded, his expression turning cold as he suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Zunlai.

Yun Zunlai stopped hiding, his spiritual qi surging, transforming into a blood cloud enveloping his body, moving like lightning through the Bloodcloud Pavilion, extremely agile.

In an instant, he dashed out of the complex Bloodcloud Pavilion structure.

Reaching the air outside the Bloodcloud Pavilion, his spiritual qi burned fiercely, the blood cloud seemingly ignited, with faint crimson lightning crackling.

Escape!!

At this moment, Yun Zunlai had only one thought.

Boom!

But before he could move, he watched in horror as the main structure of the Bloodcloud Pavilion suddenly exploded, as if something had detonated inside.

In the next moment.

Xiao Tian's figure burst through the debris of the exploding building, appearing before Yun Zunlai in the blink of an eye.

Compared to Yun Zunlai's snake-like agile movements, Xiao Tian followed a simpler, more direct method.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line!

"Where do you think you're going?" Xiao Tian reached out and grabbed, the protective qi and the surrounding Bloodcloud Thunder on Yun Zunlai collapsing instantly.

Like picking up a chick, Xiao Tian lifted Yun Zunlai and dropped him in front of Zhong Ling.

"It's funny, really, this guy was hiding under the bed." Xiao Tian shook Yun Zunlai towards Zhong Ling, chuckling.

"..." Zhong Ling's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the figure being held by the prince, feeling it was surreal.

If she hadn't experienced it herself, who would believe that the king of assassins in the Southern Wastelands was being tossed around like a chick?

Who would have thought that the dignified Bloodcloud Pavilion Master would be so scared of the prince that he'd hide under a bed?

Yun Zunlai, being held, wanted to resist, but Xiao Tian had him by the scruff of his neck, making it impossible to break free.

Yun Zunlai seemed somewhat desperate, looking at Xiao Tian: "I've already suppressed my qi, held my breath, even controlled my heartbeat to temporarily stop, how did you find me?"

He couldn't understand how he was exposed.

"Simple, I heard the sound of your blood flowing." Xiao Tian replied casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Yun Zunlai's face turned pale, and Zhong Ling beside him looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

Hearing the sound of blood flow?

What kind of hearing is that?

"Alright, I've answered your question, now you answer mine." Xiao Tian stared at Yun Zunlai, "Why are you targeting the Great Yan Dynasty?"

"If you promise to spare my life, I'll tell you the information." Swallowing hard, Yun Zunlai gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Forget it, I won't ask then." Xiao Tian said, applying a slight force with his hand, snapping Yun Zunlai's neck and tossing him to the ground.

If you don't want to talk, then don't. Who's going to indulge you?

Standing beside him, Zhong Ling watched the king of assassins from the Southern Wastelands, eyes wide open, dying with regret, trembling with fear.

"Mother... the prince is terrifying, I want to go home!"
