Chapter 442: Princess Yuehan Joining Hands With Crown Prince?!
"Princess Yuehan."
The moment this woman appeared, the clamor of the crowd vanished almost instantly.
She was stunningly beautiful, graceful, noble, and cold, with a figure and bearing that seemed almost flawless. Even Crown Prince Xing Tian restrained the fury on his face when he saw her, though his eyes revealed a complicated mixture of wariness and greed.
He was wary of her because Princess Yuehan was the princess of the Moonveil Ancient Kingdom. Whether it was her strength, talent, status, or background, none of them were inferior to his. In this assessment, she could be considered one of his greatest rivals.
As for greed, that was even simpler.
Crown Prince Xing Tian had coveted Princess Yuehan for a long time. More than once, he had imagined taking this cold and noble beauty into his own chambers.
"Nine-Lotus Fire Essence. I did not expect such a good treasure to appear here."
Princess Yuehan did not look at anyone present after arriving. Her gaze fell directly on the Nine-Lotus Fire Essence hidden within the nine flame lotuses, and a strange brilliance flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Although her background was extraordinary, and although she had the Moonveil Ancient Kingdom standing behind her, certain precious treasures could not be obtained through background alone. More often, such treasures depended on opportunity.
Nine-Lotus Fire Essence was exactly that kind of treasure.
Aside from certain special environments, it would almost never appear in ordinary places.
"Yuehan, it seems you have also taken a liking to this Nine-Lotus Fire Essence."
At that moment, Crown Prince Xing Tian’s clear voice rang out. He looked at Princess Yuehan and said, "I suggest that our two sides divide these nine drops of Nine-Lotus Fire Essence equally. However, before that, I believe we should first join hands and deal with one matter."
"Oh?"
Princess Yuehan looked toward Crown Prince Xing Tian. Her beautiful face remained calm and unreadable. "What matter?"
"It is simple."
Crown Prince Xing Tian smiled proudly, then turned his gaze toward Li Yun. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he said loudly, "Our two sides should join forces and kill this lowly commoner first. After all, he is only a mere commoner. If he is allowed to threaten our positions, I believe you would not want to see that happen either, Yuehan."
"Hm?"
Princess Yuehan frowned slightly.
After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "That is acceptable."
The moment these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Crown Prince Xing Tian and Princess Yuehan represented two enormous powers behind them, yet they were actually going to join forces against Li Yun.
Judging from the strength Li Yun had displayed earlier, he might still have a chance to escape safely if he faced either one of them alone. However, if he had to face both of them at the same time, then in the eyes of the crowd, the outcome was almost certain death.
"Excellent."
Crown Prince Xing Tian burst into loud laughter.
Even if he fought alone, he was fully confident in defeating Li Yun. Now that Princess Yuehan had joined him, there was naturally no suspense at all.
"Li Yun, you damned commoner, die."
Powerful essence qi erupted from Crown Prince Xing Tian’s body, and he was just about to attack.
However, at that exact moment, his expression suddenly changed.
Princess Yuehan had indeed made a move.
However, her target was not Li Yun at all.
Her target was Mo Xuanfeng, who had just been defeated by Li Yun.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
An ancient zither filled with a deep and elegant charm suddenly appeared in Princess Yuehan’s arms. Her long fingers plucked the strings, and countless sound waves immediately flew out.
The moment those sound waves spread into the air, they transformed into incredibly sharp Sonic Blades. Each blade contained chilling killing intent, and their speed was terrifyingly fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Mo Xuanfeng.
"This... how can this be?"
Mo Xuanfeng’s face was filled with shock.
He had never expected that one moment Princess Yuehan would agree to join forces with Crown Prince Xing Tian, and in the next moment, she would strike at him so ruthlessly.
That brief moment of disbelief sealed his fate.
Chichichi!
Countless Sonic Blades pierced through his body in an instant.
Mo Xuanfeng, a 4th level Mortal Core Realm cultivator and Crown Prince Xing Tian’s capable confidant, died miserably on the spot.
This sudden turn of events caused everyone present to suck in a cold breath.
Had Princess Yuehan and Crown Prince Xing Tian not agreed to join forces against Li Yun?
How had Princess Yuehan nearly wiped out the cultivators from Starheaven Prefecture in the blink of an eye?
This kind of ruthless betrayal made everyone’s blood run cold. From that moment onward, no one dared to view Princess Yuehan as merely a peerless beauty.
"Yuehan! You!"
Crown Prince Xing Tian was nearly driven mad with rage.
Mo Xuanfeng and the others had been members of the team he had carefully selected. They were people he planned to cultivate and use to dominate the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future. Yet now, all his trusted subordinates had been slaughtered previously by Li Yun and now his strongest confidant also got killed by Yuehan.
How could he not be furious?
How could he not be driven to madness?
"Crown Prince Xing Tian, compared to Li Yun, I still feel that you are the greater threat."
Princess Yuehan smiled faintly and said, "But do not worry. I will only go this far. I will not interfere in what happens next."
After saying this, she turned her gaze toward Li Yun again.
A charming smile appeared on her face as she said, "Little Brother Li, I have cleared away the irrelevant small fry for you. Now, you can fight Crown Prince Xing Tian without worry. By the way, I have high hopes for you."
"What a ruthless woman."
Li Yun gave Princess Yuehan a cold glance.
He understood very clearly that Princess Yuehan’s sudden move to kill Mo Xuanfeng and the others had seemed like she was helping him, but in truth, her intentions were far from simple. She had removed Crown Prince Xing Tian’s subordinates not out of kindness, but because it benefited her own position.
