Xue Qinghe looked at the look in Xue Ye's eyes and was speechless, but he still gave Xue Ye a reassuring look.
Jun Xueqing, Xue Qinghe, and Xue Ke walked straight out of the main hall and headed out of the palace.
As soon as they stepped out of the palace hall, Jun Xuehan looked at Xue Ke and said softly, "Your Highness, you can go back now. It's enough that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escorted me."
Xue Ke blinked a few times and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. My father told me to escort you. If I go back like this, I won't be able to explain it to my father."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand and said, "Sister, you can go back to your own residence first. You don't need to go back to the main hall."
After thinking for a moment, Xue Ke gently shook her head and said, "Brother, aren't you going to the Wind Snow Pavilion? I haven't been to the Wind Snow Pavilion yet, so I can come back with you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan and Xue Qinghe exchanged a glance but said nothing more. Jun Xuehan wiped the sweat from her brow and headed straight for the Wind Snow Pavilion.
The three of them walked out of the palace and onto the bustling streets. Jun Xuehan seemed quite composed, trying her best to calm herself down, while Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke chatted from time to time.
After leaving Heaven Dou City, the three walked along a quiet path. Jun Xuehan slowed his pace slightly and scanned his surroundings. He sensed an unusual aura around him.
Gradually, Jun Xuehan stopped, her Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon Spear, appeared in her hand, and seven Soul Ring flashed beneath her feet: two purple, three black, and Two Red.
With a spin, the Silver Dragon Spear in his hand thrust straight towards Xue Ke.
Neither Xue Qinghe nor Xue Ke had time to react to the sudden situation, and Xue Ke's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
The Silver Dragon Spear grazed Xue Ke's hair, and a tremor occurred in the space behind Xue Ke. A person whose face was obscured by a black robe emerged from the space.
Behind the man in black robes, the Bone Dragon Martial Soul appeared, and Nine Soul Rings— two yellow, two purple, and five black—flashed beneath his feet. He reached out and blocked the incoming Silver Dragon Spear.
"People of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, you may leave now. I will not make things difficult for you." A hoarse voice came from the man in black robes.
"Bone Dragon Martial Soul!" Xue Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly. Although the newcomer was shrouded in black robes, he could tell from the Martial Soul that the newcomer was Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Xue Qinghe was about to step forward when he was stopped by Jun Xuehan's Silver Dragon Spear, who said, "Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, since you've come to see me, you should leave now."
Xue Qinghe met Jun Xuehan's gaze, then turned to Princess Xue Ke, a deep worry appearing in his eyes.
"Hey, since you know who we are, you still dare to block our way here. This is Heaven Dou City!" Xue Ke looked at the black-robed man in front of her, her voice turning sinister.
"One or three makes no difference, and do you think anyone would know in this place?" The hoarse voice carried undisguised killing intent.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the fourth Soul Ring beneath Gu Rong's feet began to flash, and bone spikes extended from the ground, attacking Jun Xuehan and the others.
Jun Xuehan stood in front of Xue Qinghe, and with a sweeping motion of his Silver Dragon Spear, he cut off the incoming bone spikes.
"You all go first. Staying here is useless and only a burden." Jun Xuehan's voice was solemn, and she gripped the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand even tighter.
Under normal circumstances, he would not be afraid of Gu Rong, but his current situation is abnormal. In addition, Xue Qinghe cannot reveal his identity, and Xue Ke is a complete burden.
Moreover, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to make a move, it's impossible that they would only send Gu Rong; Sword Dao Chen Xin would likely be nearby as well.
After all, he had defeated Sword Dao Chen Xin yesterday, so it's impossible that he would only send Gu Rong, who is weaker than Chen Xin, to fight him.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe calmed herself down and secretly made a hand gesture to Jun Xuehan, indicating that she would be back in ten minutes at most.
Although Xue Qinghe was furious, he was also very clear that even if he returned to his original form, he would not be able to keep Gu Rong, not to mention that there was also Chen Xin who had not yet come out.
Moreover, while staying here could help Jun Xuehan, it would also distract Jun Xuehan and expose her own identity. Furthermore, due to her pregnancy, her own strength had declined somewhat; staying here might lead to both of them staying together.
If they left, it would take him at most ten minutes to lead his men across from Heaven Dou City and resolve the crisis. With Jun Xuehan's strength, holding them off for ten minutes shouldn't be a problem. So, after careful consideration, he decided to leave with Xue Ke first, so that Jun Xuehan wouldn't have too many concerns.
Thinking it over, Xue Qinghe grabbed Xue Ke and ran towards Heaven Dou City.
After Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke left, Jun Xuehan's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent. He switched his Martial Soul to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and poured his Soul Power into the Reverse Scale Dragon Ring. Delicate dragon scales crawled up his arm, and the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear appeared in his hand.
"Chen Xin, since you're here, come out. There's no need to keep me hidden away." A powerful aura erupted from Jun Xuehan's body, and her silver hair began to flutter without wind.
"Jun Xuehan, don't blame us. Blame yourself for being too arrogant. You had people with you, but you didn't bring them. You went to the Heavenly Heaven Dou Imperial Palace alone." Chen Xin's figure appeared in mid-air, her gaze quietly looking at Jun Xuehan below.
After Gu Rong saw that Jun Xuehan had directly exposed their identities, he made no attempt to hide them. Instead, he took off his black robe and attacked Jun Xuehan together with Chen Xin.
The Elemental Domain and the Slaughter Domain expanded outwards from Jun Xuehan's body, while the Soul Bone Battle Armor gradually emerged on Jun Xuehan's body, heading straight for Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
The Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear transformed into several spear shadows in mid-air, pressing down on Chen Xin and Gu Rong, while the Qianzhe behind them was poised to strike. The Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear and the Seven Kill Sword collided together, while the Qianzhe pierced towards Gu Rong.
Bone spikes extended outwards, and sharp Sword Qi drifted in mid-air. After Qianzhe was dodged by Gu Rong, his fist, imbued with Soul Power, struck Jun Xuehan directly, causing Jun Xuehan's body to continuously transform in mid-air.
"Damn it, we've been tricked to death by Xue Ye." Jun Xuehan looked at Chen Xin and Gu Rong with a gloomy expression.
