Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Qin Zhantian’s Decision!

"What do you mean by that?"

Qin Zhantian’s face changed, he was increasingly convinced that this woman was extremely cunning!

"No particular meaning," Xu Qianqian said indifferently, "You’ll understand after you’ve read it. From now on, in this academy, obey my commands!"

Having said that, she turned around seductively, deliberately swaggering as she walked away!

Qin Zhantian’s face turned ashen. After pondering for a moment, he returned to his room and broke the seal on the secret edict.

A moment later, his expression became even darker.

"Why would Father Emperor... also be interested in Brother Chen?"

He lit a candle and set the secret edict on fire.

Only when it turned to ashes did he rise and step outside his room.

"Trouble is afoot."

In an inner courtyard, Qin Zhantian found Xiao Sun.

As of now, it was still necessary for Xiao Sun to maintain contact with Lu Chen.

"What’s wrong? Is Brother Chen in trouble?"

Xiao Sun was startled. They all knew that Lu Chen was in the Tianyuan Domain hunting the Dragon Scale Beast.

Could it be that he had failed?

"No, it’s not that," Qin Zhantian saw Xiao Sun’s reaction and knew what he was thinking. He gave a bitter smile and said, "Could you, along with others, make a trip to Tianyuan Domain and find Brother Chen!"

"Little Prince, what exactly happened? Can you explain in detail?"

Xiao Sun also sensed something was off.

"Can’t say, can’t say," Qin Zhantian shook his head, his face showing a look of anguish, "Go and tell Brother Chen that if there is no problem... he should not return to the Heavenly Book Academy! Just relay this message, I can only say, I can’t go!"

After that, Qin Zhantian walked out of the room.

The candlelight flickered, casting shadows on his desolate figure.

Xiao Sun stared blankly until a gust of cold wind blew through the door, jolting him back to his senses with a shiver!

"Could it be that the imperial family... is also planning to harm Brother Chen? Is that why the Little Prince is acting this way?"

At that thought, Xiao Sun shuddered all over, hastily extinguished the candle, and then packed his bags!

An hour later.

Nine figures appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Book Academy.

"Didn’t you guys just return? Where are you off to now?"

The guard at the gate couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

All these youngsters were only at the Bone Refinement Realm. Venturing out in the middle of the night, it seemed reasonable that they were heading to Tianyuan Domain.

"Ah, there’s nothing we can do, cultivation is so costly in Yuan Stones. We plan to go hunt some demonic beasts again, to collect some demon pills!"

Xiao Lin was quick with words and handled the question effortlessly.

"Better safe than sorry, you may go!"

The guard let them pass, but this time Qin Zhantian was not among the nine who left.

That was normal, though, as Qin Zhantian, being a prince, would not lack Yuan Stones too much.

It seemed he was planning to focus on cultivating and wait until Tianyuan Domain weakened before he ventured out.

"Yes, teacher!"

After the group of youngsters left the academy, they dashed non-stop toward the direction of the Tianyuan Domain.

...

After several hours of busy work, Lu Chen and Mu Xiao finally managed to cut off all the scales—unnumbered, but surely more than a thousand.

During this time, numerous demonic beasts appeared, but all were dealt with by Lu Chen, which wasn’t a big problem.

"Whew, this is tiring, haven’t sat down to work like this in a long time!"

Mu Xiao stretched, revealing her exquisite figure.

"Sister Mu, you can go back and rest, I’ll handle the rest here."

Lu Chen held a demon pill in his hand and could clearly feel it was different from the ones he had obtained before.

Within the pill, it seemed as though there was a liquid circulating.

Mu Xiao mentioned that this was the purest Demon Qi of the Dragon Scale Beast, which would greatly benefit the Black Jiao Snake if consumed.

"Alright, then I’ll be off!"

Mu Xiao tucked the Night Spirit Pearl back into her bosom and then, patting the mountain wall, stood up stiffly and walked towards the valley.

Lu Chen, meanwhile, picked up the scales and threw them into the crevice.

Refined by his Fire Spiritual Power, each scale was like black iron tempered a thousand times, making a crisp sound when it hit the stone walls.

After tossing all the scales in, Lu Chen then lifted the limp body of the Dragon Scale Beast and walked into the distance.

This valley was very hidden; although the flesh of the Dragon Scale Beast wasn’t very useful, it might still attract demonic beasts, and a small one getting in could potentially harm Mu Xiao. Lu Chen definitely didn’t want to end up with nowhere to cry.

Approximately ten miles away, he casually dropped the carcass aside, then marshaled his Spiritual Power and sprinted back.

But just as he reached the mouth of the valley, he ran into nine young men!

"Why have you come back again?"

Seeing Xiao Lin and Xiao Sun among them, Lu Chen was momentarily baffled.

"Brother Chen!"

They had not lit any torches, fearing that a fire might attract demonic beasts; when they heard the footsteps, they were too frightened to move. But as soon as Lu Chen spoke, they called out in surprise.

"The Little Prince sent a message, so we came back again..."

Lu Chen laughed heartily and said, "Whatever the message is, we’ll talk later. Help me with something first!"

Lu Chen didn’t take it to heart; he needed help moving all the thousands of beast scales into the valley, which was a bit troublesome.

"Sure, what do you need help with, Brother Chen?"

"You guys light a fire, don’t worry, with me here, are you afraid of any demonic beasts coming? I’ve tossed quite a few scales inside this ravine, help me move them into the valley!"

Scales?

The youngsters were slightly stunned, and then exclaimed, "Brother Chen, you killed the Dragon Scale Beast?"

The torches were lit at that moment, and they saw Lu Chen’s confident smile.

All the youngsters were incredibly shocked!

And when Xiao Sun picked up a nearby scale, his face showed an even more colorful expression!
