Dragon Island!
Upon hearing these two words, Irina’s sapphire-blue pupils contracted sharply.
This place held significant weight for her.
She didn't answer immediately.
After a moment of thought, she stared into Bai Zihe’s eyes and said slowly, “The secret of Dragon Island… once revealed, it could incite immense turmoil!”
“So…”
“I need you to agree to another condition before I tell you.”
Bai Zihe was not surprised and asked, “Just say it, what condition.”
“Kill Tong Gudefnosky!”
A flicker of cold light flashed deep in Irina’s eyes, carrying a hint of killing intent.
This person…
Bai Zihe had never heard of him.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Irina continue.
“Oh, he is my sworn brother, formerly the second-in-command of the Dark Empire, known as the ‘Night Prince,’ and now he is the one in charge.”
As she spoke these words, Irina’s tone was filled with hatred.
“Alright, I agree.”
Hearing her words, Bai Zihe could vaguely guess that Irina was the one he had poisoned and hunted.
Those who had surrounded him in the bathhouse and at the auction were likely his people.
“Then it’s settled!”
Irina’s gaze was as deep as still water, a cold smile gracing her lips.
Night fell.
The lone moon and cold snow.
Moqihe was already known for its chill.
By midnight, the biting wind was piercing to the bone.
It made one shiver uncontrollably.
Dark Castle.
“Bang!”
A cracking sound echoed.
The Night Prince smashed the expensive rosewood table in front of him with a single blow.
Wood splinters flew, the roar resonating throughout the great hall.
“Trash!”
“All of you are trash!”
The Night Prince glared at his kneeling subordinates, his anger boiling, and cursed incessantly.
“So many people…”
“Can’t even find one small Da Xia person, what use are you to me?”
At these words.
Everyone below shrank their heads, fearing the Night Prince’s rage might lead him to “castrate” them all, which would be utterly unfair.
Neuydeskky’s heart pounded.
He was the one who led the pursuit of the poisoned Irina, but he had failed…
“Neuydes!”
The next moment, the Night Prince’s murderous gaze fell upon Neuydeskky’s face, startling him.
“Your subordinate is here!”
Neuydeskky dared not not respond.
“You, issue a bounty in the name of our Dark Empire right now. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find this Da Xia person for me!”
The Night Prince’s voice was resolute.
Irina, as the Dark Queen, had ruled the Dark Empire for a long time. Coupled with her connections and foundation, there was a high possibility of her making a comeback.
As long as she was alive, the Night Prince would not have a moment’s peace.
“No need.”
Just then, a cold voice echoed through the great hall.
“Who is it?”
“Who is sneaking around?”
“Who are you, show yourself if you dare!”
Many of the Dark Empire’s experts were instantly enraged.
The Night Prince immediately focused his gaze on the entrance of the great hall, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
“Boom!”
The response they received was a thunderous roar.
The hall door exploded.
Then.
“Whoosh…”
“Whizz—”
With the sound of air being cut, two round objects flew in from outside the door.
“Clang!”
In the blink of an eye, they fell into the center of the great hall.
Everyone looked, and their breaths hitched!
These two things…
Were none other than the heads of the two guards of the castle tonight.
The next moment, a graceful figure traversed the air, and in a flash, he swept into the center of the great hall.
Graceful and handsome, like a star-plucking celestial being.
It was Bai Zihe!
“It’s you!”
Neuydeskky recognized Bai Zihe at once and shouted, “Your Highness, he is the Da Xia person who saved Irina that day!”
At these words.
Everyone was astonished.
Then, they instinctively surrounded Bai Zihe.
They had searched so hard, and now that Bai Zihe had delivered himself, they couldn’t let him escape again.
“Guards!”
“Kill him!”
The Night Prince, filled with murderous intent, gave the order.
“Swish!”
“Rustle…”
“Whoosh—”
In an instant, countless Bearmen experts poured in from all around the hall, charging at Bai Zihe fearlessly.
Bai Zihe couldn’t be bothered to waste words.
“Boom!”
He directly unleashed a palm strike.
This palm strike used one-tenth of his strength!
One-tenth of the power of the Deity Transformation realm…
It was no small matter!
Immediately, a destructive gale swept through the hall. Before many of the Dark Empire’s experts could even get close, they were sent flying by the palm wind.
They crashed into walls and the ceiling.
Then they fell heavily, with at least half of them crippled, unable to care for themselves ever again.
Only a handful of people managed to continue their charge!
These individuals were all Grandmaster level.
But they were still no match.
Bai Zihe suddenly vanished from his spot, and when he reappeared, only a single palm covered them from above.
“Boom!”
The next moment, the palm drifted down.
Like a falling celestial canopy, it covered the surroundings!
These experts felt the sky and earth collapse, utterly powerless to resist, and all perished on the spot.
In the great hall.
Only the Night Prince remained on his throne.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
The Night Prince clapped as if watching a show, his eyes chillingly cold, a sinister smile on his lips, “Da Xia man, you are indeed strong!”
“But…”
Suddenly, a black obsidian crystal bottle appeared in the Night Prince’s right hand. He resolutely flicked open the stopper and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.
“Gulp… gulp…”
Faint sounds echoed clearly in the great hall.
“Crack, crackle…”
The Night Prince’s body underwent a dramatic transformation.
First, his face.
Spidery markings appeared, making him look particularly hideous. Black widow-like fangs grew from his mouth, making one’s scalp tingle.
Then.
His arms, torso, legs…
One by one, they evolved, moving towards the legendary black widow.
Then.
From the markings all over his body, a viscous, emerald green liquid began to ooze, incredibly thick and repulsive. It was indeed the venom of the black widow spider!
