Chapter 031: Dominance

"Yes, Great Prince!" Nodding, the Grand Chief's lips curled into a slight smile. He had long looked down on the Li family, and today, with the Great Prince here, they would not be allowed to act arrogantly. Then, the Grand Chief galloped forward.

"Why is that bastard here?" Upon hearing the voice, Li Xuan's face darkened. The Great Prince of Qingyang Empire, Qing Rufeng, was unfathomably powerful. Although he rarely left the palace, the younger generation of the great families feared him deeply.

Moreover, the Great Prince was the heir to the Qingyang Empire, of even higher status than himself.

"Qing Rufeng." Li Qingxue stared at the jade palanquin with a surprised gaze, then glanced at Yang Tian. She frowned slightly, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

"Big Brother, why is the Great Prince here?" The white-robed man stared blankly at the sight of the nine dragons pulling the carriage, unable to help blurting out.

"How should I know? Anyway, given the Great Prince's character, Yang Tian's life is safe for now." Smiling, the black-robed man felt a surge of delight in his heart.

"Who are you? How dare you act wild in my Qingyang Empire? Are you tired of living?" The questioning voice slowly rang out. The Great Prince showed no regard for the ancient aristocratic family. An intangible dominance rose, and the person in the jade palanquin did not come out.

"So domineering! That's our empire's Great Prince!" The citizens of Kuangyun City looked up, their eyes fervent as they stared at the jade palanquin in the sky.

"Quite the airs." Li Xuan's face turned completely black, but he dared not be too presumptuous. After all, this was their territory. He forced a smile and said, "I am Li Xuan of the ancient Li family. May I ask what the Great Prince's instruction is?"

"Oh, Li Xuan..." The voice from the jade palanquin drew out, then said something that made Li Xuan want to vomit blood: "How come I've never heard of such a person in the Li family? Oh, and who's the little girl next to you?"

"Little girl?" Clenching her fists, Li Qingxue frowned slightly, a surge of anger rising in her heart. Her fair face turned ugly. The dignity of a Saintess went without saying, but she said nothing.

"Haha, little girl." Unable to suppress a burst of laughter, Yang Tian looked at Li Qingxue's ugly expression, his smile growing even wider. The gloom from before was somewhat dispelled.

"You..." Li Xuan burned with rage, his face turning red and white. Especially in front of the woman he admired, he could not accept it. He immediately shouted coldly, "Don't go too far! My Li family is not afraid of your Qingyang Empire!"

"Less nonsense. Disrupting the martial arts tournament and trying to kill someone from my Qingyang Empire—I could kill you right now. Do you think your Li family would go to war with Qingyang Empire over you?" The person in the jade palanquin laughed heartily, his voice full of disdain.

"You..." Li Xuan's eyelids twitched violently. He did not doubt that this madman would do as he said. Though he might not kill him, a severe beating was possible. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I must take him away today, or my Li family will not let this rest."

"Oh, what heinous crime has he committed to warrant such a big fuss? Did he rape your Li family's Saintess? Or dig up your ancestral graves?" The person in the jade palanquin asked in confusion, firing off several questions.

"You..." Li Xuan's face flushed red. Even the Grand Chief couldn't help but chuckle dryly. Qing Rufeng had always been sharp-tongued since childhood, a match for the Second Prince. Unfortunately, the Second Prince now...

Thinking of this, the Grand Chief sighed.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan suppressed his rage and shouted coldly, "This is my Li family's secret. Regardless, I must take Yang Tian away today! Otherwise, this matter will not end."

"What? He's Yang Tian?" The moment the exclamation sounded, a robust figure stepped out of the jade palanquin. He wore a yellow brocade robe, his face resolute, with purple aura rising from his forehead and divine light swirling in his pupils, exuding an imperial majesty.

The sudden appearance of the man shocked everyone around, even the Grand Chief was dumbfounded. The Great Prince rarely left the palace and seldom saw outsiders; even he had not seen him many times.

"What's going on?" Seeing Qing Rufeng suddenly appear, Li Qingxue frowned deeply, her bad premonition growing stronger.

"Could that bastard know Qing Rufeng? How is that possible?" Watching Qing Rufeng walk over, Li Xuan muttered to himself, his handsome face twisting with ferocity.

"You are Yang Tian." Qing Rufeng stepped through the void, walking slowly. Looking at Yang Tian's cracked skin, a murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"I am indeed Yang Tian. May I ask what the Great Prince's instruction is?" Taking a deep breath, Yang Tian said slowly, confusion rising in his heart. The Yang family had no dealings with the Qingyang Empire, let alone any enmity.

Qing Rufeng did not answer him. He slowly turned his head, fixed his gaze on Li Xuan, raised an eyebrow slightly, and shouted coldly, "Did you do this?"

"What do you mean?" Frowning, sensing a killing intent, Li Xuan said in a deep voice. At the same time, a sharp aura surged out instantly.

"Nothing much. I'll send you off." Qing Rufeng clenched his fist, his whole body blazing with purple divine light. The void twisted violently, and imperial pressure burst forth.

Suddenly, a purple giant dragon appeared above his head, roaring upward. His blood energy roared like a tsunami, shaking heaven and earth. Heavenly thunder gathered in the sky—a celestial phenomenon shocking to the world.

"Not good! Qingxue, strike!" Li Xuan was greatly alarmed. A purple bronze sword suddenly appeared in his hand, engraved with countless patterns. At that moment, the divine patterns seemed to come alive, coiling in the void, quickly forming dozens of chains.

"Too slow. Get lost!" Without any nonsense, Qing Rufeng threw a punch. The purple giant dragon swooped down from the sky, continuously piercing through the void, sending the two flying instantly.

A black dot quickly disappeared from sight. At the same time, a venomous voice resounded through heaven and earth: "Yang Tian, you'd better watch your mouth, or you won't die quickly enough!"

"Hmph, not enough suffering." Qing Rufeng suddenly appeared in the void, his eyes like lightning. He threw several punches across the void, each piercing countless voids, as several purple giant dragons attacked the distance.

"Bastard, I won't let you off..." The miserable roar gradually faded.

"Heh, the Great Prince's strength has improved again, almost catching up to me." Watching the two black dots disappear, the Grand Chief smiled. Then, with a flicker, he directly suppressed the two alien beasts that were trying to escape.

So domineering—sent flying with a single punch.

Looking at the two subdued alien beasts, Yang Tian grinned, a feeling of exhilaration reaching his heart. Then he walked over and said, "Thank you, Great Prince, for saving my life. Yang Tian will never forget this."

"Heh." Looking at the young man before him, the Great Prince nodded, then patted Yang Tian on the shoulder. Qing Rufeng smiled: "Don't mention it. I should be the one thanking you."

"Thanking me?" Yang Tian was puzzled.

"Thank you for saving Qing Yuan a few days ago. Otherwise, as his elder brother, I would have been troubled." Seeing Yang Tian's confusion, Qing Rufeng said slowly.
