The Crown Prince Is Still Alive?

"Dragons... there were actually dragons in Heaven Dou City? How could dragons possibly appear here?!" Xue Ye stared blankly, as if frozen in place, gazing straight at the enormous dragon head in the night sky as he spoke in utter shock.

In that instant, whether they were Soul Masters of the Royal Knights or the ordinary soldiers surrounding the area, every single one of them fixed their eyes on the giant dragon in the night sky, unable to look away in the slightest!

The Black Dragon looked down majestically from the deep night sky. Before its gaze, those Soul Masters and soldiers alike seemed no different from tiny insects. Then, its massive body dove straight downward at incredible speed.

At last, the Black Dragon slowly descended onto the grand palace structure, coiling its enormous body above it. Its huge Dragon Eyes were like lanterns as they stared fixedly at everyone before it. Then it opened its bloodthirsty maw toward the crowd and unleashed a hysterical, earth-shaking roar.

The deafening dragon roar nearly formed layer upon layer of shockwaves, spreading rapidly in every direction like ripples across water.

In an instant, the ordinary soldiers surrounding the area felt their vision darken. The deafening roar continued to echo in their ears, and then they lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground in complete unconsciousness.

Even among the Royal Knights, some relatively weaker Soul Masters were wholly incapable of enduring such an impact. They instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The once orderly encirclement fell into utter chaos in the blink of an eye.

The three Education Committee Members and the commander of the Royal Knights, all four of them, felt their minds tremble violently when they saw the Black Dragon coiled around the grand palace structure. Their bodies could not help but shake.

That colossal creature, well over a hundred meters long, had merely let out a casual roar, yet the carefully arranged encirclement they had painstakingly set up had crumbled in an instant. More than half their fighting force had been lost immediately.

As the Black Dragon descended from the night sky onto the grand palace structure, Lin Xiao simultaneously released his soul rings. His uniquely powerful aura erupted at once, rapidly spreading through the surroundings and pressing down upon everyone's hearts!

When everyone saw the soul rings gradually appearing beneath Lin Xiao's feet, they could not help but gasp. Their faces were filled with fear and shock as they watched Lin Xiao with extreme vigilance.

This assassin before them was a Title Douluo, and his soul ring configuration was six black and three red. How could such a combination, one that far surpassed the optimal soul ring configuration, exist in this world?!

"This assassin is a Title Douluo. Even his soul ring configuration is so shocking that it is almost unbelievable!" The commander of the Royal Knights forced down the terror in his heart, his body trembling nonstop as he slowly spoke.

He was certain that this young Title Douluo, whose soul ring configuration defied imagination, had never appeared in the Soul Master world before. Otherwise, there was no way he could have heard nothing about him based on that soul ring configuration alone!

If such a person had ever appeared, he could never have remained unknown. His first soul ring was ten thousand years old—this fact alone was enough to shock the world. How could there have been no news of him?!

"Everyone, stop!!!" A clear yet weighty voice rang out from within the grand palace. Then, Xue Qinghe emerged slowly from the main entrance with her hands behind her back. Her gaze swept quickly across the scene as she shook her head slightly, a faint sorrow appearing on her face.

The moment Xue Qinghe appeared, Lin Xiao knew it was time to wrap up their plan. He instantly withdrew his overwhelmingly powerful aura, returning it to calm.

Meanwhile, when the Black Dragon atop the grand palace saw the Witch emerge, its enormous body rapidly shrank until it was only the size of a palm.

"Your Highness... it's Your Highness!" When the two Soul Saint guards saw Xue Qinghe, they were so overjoyed that tears streamed down their faces, unable to contain their excitement.

"The Crown Prince! It's the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince is still alive!!!" Those who had not yet fainted all focused their eyes on Xue Qinghe. Their beloved Crown Prince was still alive, and their excitement was impossible to conceal.

The three Education Committee Members and the commander of the Royal Knights, four Soul Douluo in total, had already prepared to fight to the death when they realized that Lin Xiao was a Title Douluo. Yet now, their Crown Prince was actually alive and well.

At the same time, their hearts were filled with confusion. Though they were relieved that the Crown Prince was alive, they truly could not understand how their Crown Prince had managed to survive in the hands of a Title Douluo assassin.

In the distance, when Xue Ye saw Xue Qinghe standing intact before him, a faint smile gradually appeared on his weathered, grief-stricken face.

When Lin Xiao had revealed his Title Douluo cultivation, Xue Ye had fallen into deep despair. That despair had been like endless darkness, completely swallowing his heart.

The murderer who had killed his imperial child was right before him, yet he was unable to avenge his child. Just as despair was about to crush him completely, he saw his child, Xue Qinghe, appear safely before him.

The feeling of falling from the peak into the depths, then rising from the depths back to the peak, was beyond words.

Then, Xue Ye decisively ordered several Soul Saint-level knight captains to support him as he slowly made his way toward Xue Qinghe.

"Your Highness, why... why..." The commander of the Royal Knights stared blankly at Xue Qinghe, his expression wooden. He had far too many questions to ask, yet he did not know where to begin.

"I already know the full details. It was merely a misunderstanding." Xue Qinghe looked around at the situation. Soldiers and Soul Masters lay unconscious all around them, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

Lin Xiao then leisurely walked to Xue Qinghe's side. As everyone watched Lin Xiao, he was already standing beside Xue Qinghe.

This young Soul Master, who had reached the level of a Title Douluo, did not seem to be an assassin after all. Moreover, their Crown Prince had explained that this was merely a misunderstanding.
