Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 817 - 812: Cast Aside by the Times

One day later.

The outer courtyard of Torch Academy was completely in an uproar.

"Have you heard? The Crown Prince of Zhou ordered Xiao Yi to assassinate Qin Wudao!"

In the early morning, a student whispered to his companion, cautious as if afraid of being overheard by outsiders.

"That's not all. I've heard that Xiao Yi was killed by Qin Wudao instead. Now Qin Wudao demands the academy punish the Crown Prince of Zhou according to the academy rules!"

The companion nodded, his tone full of surprise.

On one hand, he was amazed by Qin Wudao's strength, being able to kill Xiao Yi, who was a well-known figure in the outer courtyard.

On the other hand, he admired Qin Wudao's courage in actually demanding the academy to deal with the Crown Prince according to the law, knowing that harming one's own could lead to the death penalty.

Ji Huangdao, Crown Prince of the Great Zhou.

A crown prince, after all, is the foundation of the nation.

Qin Wudao's actions amounted to making an enemy of the Great Zhou operations.

"I wonder how the academy will handle this matter?"

The first student to speak looked up at the towering mountain in the center of the academy, which seemed to pierce the sky's end, making it impossible for one to see its full extent.

The mountain was endless; he couldn't see through it.

But he understood one truth, that the highest educational institution of the human race was just like that mountain, impossible to see through.

He came from a minor world, a nobody from a poor family.

Before coming to the academy, he had yearned and believed it to be a holy land for equality in cultivation, but reality had dealt him a harsh blow after he arrived.

The prodigies from the great world, relying on their deep backgrounds and powerful strength, had established various forces, excluding outsiders and oppressing weaker students.

During his years in the academy, he had often been bullied by prodigies of the great world.

From the bottom of his heart, if what happened was true, he hoped the academy would deal with the Crown Prince according to the rules; otherwise, he would feel quite disheartened.

"Hurry!"

"Everyone, quickly to the arena!"

"The prodigies of the Qin Dynasty have issued a challenge to the Sword Gang, claiming they want to disband them!"

At this moment, a student shouted excitedly, flying from above towards 'Slaying Vendetta Mountain.'

Slaying Vendetta Mountain was where students resolved their conflicts.

"Hiss~"

"The prodigies of the Qin Dynasty are defying the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, then showed curiosity, all using their movement techniques to fly towards the distant mountain.

They wanted to see what skills the prodigies of the Qin Dynasty possessed to dare claim they would disband the Sword Gang.

The Sword Gang was one of the five major forces in the outer courtyard, with tens of thousands of members. Besides Xiao Yi, there were also five peak Luo Tianxian martial artists, known as the five protectors.

On the other side.

Inside the hall of the Sword Gang's headquarters, over a hundred young prodigies were gathered, each one exuding a violent aura that disturbed the void and suppressed the laws.

"Interesting!"

"We haven't gone to seek revenge on the Qin Dynasty, yet they've come to us first!"

One of the young men, who had a dark face and was blind in one eye, spoke with a cold voice that caused the temperature of the void to drop sharply.

"They really believe that killing the leader means they can provoke the Sword Gang. How ridiculous!"

Another bald martial artist said, emitting a yellow glow, his lips curled in a mocking sneer.

Although he didn't know why their leader died at the hands of Qin Wudao, he suspected it was likely due to the Qin Dynasty's schemes and trickery.

Otherwise, how could a mere early-stage Golden Immortal martial artist leap seven levels and kill a peak Luo Tianxian warrior?

"Since the Qin Dynasty overestimates their strength, we will give them a reality check!"

"I suggest we kill the prodigies of the Qin Dynasty in the life-and-death arena to avenge our leader; otherwise, how can the Sword Gang maintain its dignity?"

One man at the front sneered, looking at the five terrifying figures at the head of their group, paying his respects.

Among them, they were ranked according to strength, with most standing, while the five at the head sat on thrones, their presence as vast as five God Mountains, suppressing all.

"The prodigies of the Qin Dynasty number over one hundred and fifty, so 'One-Eye,' you will lead three hundred core members and three hundred elite members into the arena battle!"

The central figure said.

His features were blurred, shrouded by a powerful energy, giving him an air of supreme mystery.

"Yes, Central Protector!"

The one-eyed martial artist stepped forward with a sinister smile, bowing.

Within the Sword Gang, there was a strict hierarchy.

Ordinary members were Taiyi Earthly Immortal martial artists!

Elite members were Golden Immortal martial artists!

Core members were Luo Tianxian martial artists!

As for the protectors, only those who comprehended Dao principles were qualified to take on the role.

One-eye was a core member, possessing late-stage Luo Tianxian cultivation. Although he hadn't yet comprehended Dao principles, he had understood the Great Luo Dao Marks and possessed formidable combat strength.

And the prodigies standing in the hall were all core members, with even the weakest having broken through to the early stage of Luo Tianxian.

'One-Eye' turned, selected thirty prodigies, and with a terrifying aura, walked out of the hall, dominating the heavens, exuding a suffocating killing intent.

...

"Assassinate the 'Newborn King'?"

"This Xiao Yi is way too audacious!"

In a mysterious palace, fifty figures sat solemnly. Though they appeared young, their eyes revealed an ancient and weathered aura.

"Indeed! Not long ago, the Sword Gang wanted us to submit!"

One man scoffed.

After hearing this, the others didn't get angry, only shaking their heads in exasperation, as if they had heard a ridiculous joke.

Who are they?

The ancient reincarnated ones!

All were old monsters of the human race reborn.

In their past lives, even the lowest cultivation reached the Immortal King realm. In the three great operations, they were generals with authority over a region.

Don't even mention the Sword Gang; even if the Emperor of Zhou himself came, he wouldn't dare to speak such arrogant words as to make them submit.

For they were still heroes of the human race, having traversed the heavens in their past lives, killing countless beings from all clans, recorded in the annals of human history.

"Soon, the Sword Gang will pay the price for their foolish actions!"

An ancient monster in the center spoke.

Among the many old monsters, he restrained his aura, seeming as if isolated from the world, nonexistent.

"Oh! So the Jade Hook Ancient Emperor is so optimistic about the Qin Dynasty?"

An old monster took over the conversation, looking surprised.

"If my guess is correct, not only will the Qin Heavenly Court win, but they will win very easily!"

The Jade Hook Ancient Emperor said with a sinister laugh.

Ancient Emperor!

Having such a title means his past life's cultivation was at least at the Immortal Emperor realm. In this era, where Immortal Sovereigns are unrivaled and Immortal Emperors are few, an Immortal Emperor martial artist can dominate the nine heavens.

"Then we shall wait and see!"

"Speaking of which, Qin Wudao is somewhat connected to our Hall Master. The palace he resides in now was the Hall Master's residence during his studies!"

The prodigy who took over the conversation said.

When mentioning the Hall Master, a trace of fervent admiration emerged in his eyes.

"The Hall Master will soon emerge from seclusion!"

The Jade Hook Ancient Emperor's expression also became solemn, looking around at everyone and speaking in a serious tone: "Before my demise in my previous life, I sensed that the world was about to undergo a major change, that the struggle between the human race and all the clans may finally conclude in this era!"

"The Hall Master has remolded his true self in reincarnation to prepare for the great change in the world and lead the human race to rise!"

"However, relying solely on us, it's difficult to achieve victory in the struggle with all the clans!"

"In the end, we are people abandoned by time; the prodigies of this era are the true protagonists!"

"Therefore, the Qin Heavenly Court is particularly important..."

His long voice carried a hint of melancholy.

Reincarnation and rebirth, though it sounds grand, almost severs the path to Dao. Even if one spends a lifetime, one can only reach the Immortal Sovereign realm.

When the great change comes, Immortal Sovereigns will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

They might be ahead for now, but eventually, they will be eliminated by the era.
