I really became a king.

Chapter 475: Sophora japonica ancestor
After the withered old man from the Ye family in Bailing showed his martial arts power at the peak of the eighth realm and revealed his killing intent towards Jiang Youning, Jiang Youning knew that he was in great danger today.
If it was the Emperor of Dali, he might have considered the impact of doing so. The biggest possibility was that he would be placed under house arrest in the capital of Dali, making himself a rare treasure and making Prince Yi's Mansion afraid to act rashly.
After all, his position determined that he had to consider the overall situation of the Dali Dynasty and could not do whatever he wanted.
But the Ye family of Bailing is different. To put it bluntly, they are a local separatist clan. The more chaotic the Dali Dynasty is, the more beneficial it is to them.
So he chose to kill himself. On the one hand, he could collect some interest for the Bailing Ye family. After all, in the past few years, the Bailing Ye family had been killed too badly by the Prince Yi's Mansion ruled by my father, and the two sides had become enemies to the death.

On the other hand, this could anger my father. Once I really died, my father and mother would definitely be furious, and the Prince Yi's Mansion in Western Xinjiang and the Northern Xinjiang would most likely raise their troops in rebellion.

The Dali Dynasty would inevitably fall into civil strife, and then the Bailing Ye family would have the opportunity to establish their own separatist clan. Because the more chaotic the Dali Dynasty was, the more beneficial it would be for them.

The masked man known as "Master Xue" obviously thought of the interests involved and hesitated, but finally decided to stand by and watch.

At this time, five or six martial arts masters rushed to the secret exit. They were all masters of the sixth and seventh realms. Judging from their respectful attitude towards the withered old man, they were obviously from the Ye family of Bailing.

The withered old man moved, raised his right hand, and slapped Jiang Youning.

It was so light that it didn't even make a sound, just like a dead leaf falling from the sky. But Jiang Youning, who was under the palm, felt the bloody storm.

She had no way to dodge this palm strike. Xiaohuan, the maid beside her, wanted to step forward and use her body to block the palm strike, but she was a step too slow. The palm strike had already passed her and hit Jiang Youning.

"Hey, do you know what the consequences will be if you kill her?"

Just when Jiang Youning thought he was about to die under this palm strike, a sigh suddenly sounded. The sound sounded light and seemed to be very far away.

However, the skinny old man's face changed, he retracted his palm, retreated violently, and the martial arts aura around him surged, and his movements were done in one go.

The space twisted, and a blurry figure appeared where the withered old man was originally.

Although the withered old man dodged, the five or six martial arts masters around him were all sent flying backwards. Among them, two who were in the seventh realm were killed, one was injured, and several others were also injured.

Valley Master Xue also reacted at this time and quickly dodged and retreated.

The figure that suddenly appeared just glanced at him indifferently, as if he didn't want to attack him, or it seemed that he didn't need to take action. Even if this person hid to the ends of the earth, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Master Xue's four trusted subordinates, the two men and two women, also wanted to retreat, but after being looked at by the blurry figure, they all stayed beside Jiang Youning and dared not move.

"Sophora japonica ancestor!"

When the blurry figure became clear, the skinny old man from the Ye family in Bailing exclaimed.

The man's face looked even drier than his, especially the bags under his eyes, which had drooped to his nose. However, he was pale and beardless. He was none other than the old eunuch who had been living in seclusion in the Dali Forbidden Palace - Huaihua Patriarch.

"Ye Chen, I didn't expect that after all these years, your cultivation has reached such a high level..."

The Sophora japonica ancestor looked at the withered old man, and the withered old man also looked at the Sophora japonica ancestor. The two had known each other for a long time, and it was even possible that they were both geniuses of the same era.

When we meet again now, we are all very old.

The masked man "Valley Master Xue" who was hiding far away nearby felt a chill all over his body after hearing the two names, especially the name of Huaihua Patriarch.

"Haha, let's get rid of that despicable guy first, and then we can reminisce about the past..." Patriarch Huaihua glanced at the masked man intentionally or unintentionally.

"Grandmaster, do you think I will wait?" The withered old man shook his head. Grandmaster Huaihua was a prominent figure of his previous generation. He was now at the peak of the eighth level of martial arts and really wanted to meet him. "The Ye family of Bailing..."

The Huaihua Patriarch muttered something, without emitting any martial arts aura, but his entire figure floated towards the withered old man Ye Chen.

At the same time, he pointed his finger at the masked man "Valley Master Xue". The masked man was shocked and tried his best to dodge.

But he was already scared out of his wits. Looking at the two figures fighting each other, he looked at Jiang Youning and his four trusted men who were standing there quietly. He gritted his teeth, turned around and fled into the distance.

Patriarch Huaihua did not stop him, but Ye Chen cursed him in his heart, saying that he was indeed a coward and a hopeless case.

Although Huaihua Patriarch suddenly appeared, with him as a distraction, as long as the masked man stayed, they would have the advantage, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

But the other party ran away at this moment. Ye Chen was about to stop him, but Huaihua Patriarch used a big move to hit back his words before he could even utter them.

"You'd better concentrate on fighting with us." It was obvious that he didn't want him to call back the masked man who escaped.

The two ancestors-level martial arts masters started fighting slowly, but then their movements became faster and faster, and soon their figures could not be seen clearly.

Seeing their Valley Master Xue fleeing in panic like a stray dog, the two men and two women guarding Jiang Youning looked at each other in bewilderment. Were the four of them abandoned like this?
They also wanted to escape, but they didn't dare.

Because Patriarch Huaihua was always watching their every move, they could feel that as long as they moved a step, they would be struck by thunder.

As for Jiang Youning, the crisis was temporarily resolved after the appearance of Huaihua Patriarch. At this time, he was looking at the two women and two men around him.

Seeing the four people in panic, and then looking at the five or six people hiding in the distance and recovering from their injuries, he secretly blinked his eyes. The situation didn't seem that bad...

At this moment, the pendant that had been crushed in his arms suddenly became warm, and he felt delighted.

Daddy had told her before that when he got close, even if the pendant was crushed, it would still become warm.

Glancing inconspicuously towards the south, which was the direction of the Demon Realm Pass, Jiang Youning looked at the four people and said, "My father is coming. You still have a chance to make a new choice."

The four of them were stunned, looking surprised and suspicious.

"This is your last chance. Just take me all the way south. My father is coming from the south. As long as you bring me to my father safely, he will not make things difficult for you."

The four of them were obviously a little hesitant. They were very afraid of Patriarch Huaihua and Patriarch Ye Chen of the Ye family. They could not escape the pursuit of the two at all.

"Ye Chen was suppressed by Huaihua Patriarch and couldn't get away. As for Huaihua Patriarch, as long as you take me south, he won't stop us. Otherwise, why do you think you can stand here safely?"

The four of them were a little bit unconvinced. If they guessed correctly, Patriarch Huaihua must be the Dali Emperor's man. How could he watch the little princess of Prince Yi's Mansion escape?
