Chapter 10: Abdication

"The Julu Academy? They are my prisoners. On what grounds do you demand to take them away?" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.

"You!" Changqing glared at him, his eyes wide.

Meng Rongrong held Changqing back.

"Have you never heard of the Julu Academy? Did your father never mention it to you?" Meng Rongrong smiled.

"Never heard of it!" Yan Chuan replied with a puzzled look.

"If I take these few people away, it will not affect your grand scheme in the slightest! I can guarantee that they will not return to the Four Kingdoms. How about that?" Meng Rongrong dropped the matter concerning the Julu Academy.

"Oh?" Yan Chuan narrowed his eyes, staring at the veiled Meng Rongrong.

*Grand scheme? Did Meng Rongrong see through it?*

"In that case, shall I take it that you agree?" Meng Rongrong smiled.

"No!" Yan Chuan shouted again.

"Oh?" Meng Rongrong asked, perplexed.

"They must remain in Yanjing for three months. During these three months, I may not place them under strict guard, but they are not allowed to leave!" Yan Chuan said firmly.

"You...!" A blazing fire instantly ignited in Changqing's eyes.

He had never encountered someone so stubborn and difficult to deal with.

"Very well!" Meng Rongrong suddenly broke into a smile.

"Eldest Miss?" Changqing asked, confused.

"I originally intended to stay and watch the developments anyway. Since this is the case, it works out even better!" Meng Rongrong smiled.

"Very well! Changqing's estate can serve as your temporary quarters," Yan Chuan nodded.

"Oh? Aren't you worried that we might just leave?" Meng Rongrong asked with curiosity.

"You are at the Divine Realm. Since you have given your word to someone at the Force Realm, I naturally trust you," Yan Chuan said calmly.

"Oh?" Meng Rongrong's brows furrowed slightly.

*My cultivation level was seen through by him again? How does he manage to see it?*

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Suddenly, deep rumbling sounds echoed from all directions.

"What is that?" Everyone raised their heads to look.

In the distant horizon, a black dot instantly closed the distance, transforming into a giant bat measuring two zhang across.

Spreading its massive wings, the bat whipped up a fierce gale. It hovered in the air, baring its ferocious fangs.

"Bat God! The Bat God!" The fallen Third Senior Brother cried out in pleasant surprise.

"Crack!"

The Bat God suddenly opened its mouth and roared toward Yan Chuan's direction, unleashing a massive sonic wave that made the surrounding air distort as if overlapping.

"Ah!"

Caught in the sonic blast, a group of brocade-clad guards were blown backward through the air.

"Shoot it down! Shoot it down!" Liu Jin shouted.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" ……

A barrage of sun-shooting arrows pierced the sky, heading straight for the approaching bat demon.

At that moment, the Third Senior Brother not far from Yan Chuan twitched his fingers slightly, as if he was about to regain movement.

"Crack, crack!"

The bat circled the area, dodging the rain of arrows and throwing the entire scene into chaos. Under the force of its sonic waves, the ground developed numerous cracks.

"Ah!"

Many people clutched their ears, rolling on the ground in agony.

The Third Senior Brother clenched his fists. The previous paralysis was slowly receding. The bat's sonic waves had helped the Third Senior Brother reopen his severed meridians.

"Thud!"

Yan Chuan kicked the Third Senior Brother sharply in the abdomen, instantly snapping the meridians that had just begun to unblock.

"You!" The Third Senior Brother's face turned crimson with suppression.

"You fall into my hands, and you still expect to escape?" Yan Chuan wore a trace of a cold sneer.

"Whoosh!"

High in the sky, a sun-shooting arrow suddenly pierced the bat demon's wing.

"Waa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The bat demon let out a shrill, infant-like cry of agony.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" ……

Two more feathered arrows pierced the bat demon's wings.

"Waa!" "Waa!"

The bat demon shrieked in pain.

"Bat God, hurry and leave! Go notify the First Senior Brother! Quickly, quickly, quickly!" The Third Senior Brother called out, curled up in a ball.

"Waa!"

After circling for a moment, the bat demon shot up into the sky.
