Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Who Says Da Xia Has No One?

”Mr. Qin came with me!”

Ding Shaoyang stepped forward to address Cang Bingyan’s questioning.

Cang Bingyan frowned.

This Ding Shaoyang was the president of the Jin City Commerce Association and an honored guest at the banquet. She had to give him some face.

However, her disdain for Qin Tianxuan only grew. ”I never thought you’d fall so low as to become someone’s bodyguard.”

Qin Tianxuan’s expression was placid. ”I’m not a bodyguard.”

Hmph!

Cang Bingyan turned and left.

The banquet was about to begin, and she wanted to appear before everyone in her most beautiful state.

Qin Tianxuan watched her leave, then turned and whispered to Prince, ”Find a way to get the guest list for this banquet. Find the assassins from the Ten Thousand Ghosts!”

Prince looked at the large table behind the central screen. ”Sir, why must we protect Luo Qilin’s men? They just deliberately humiliated you.”

Qin Tianxuan’s expression darkened. ”Follow your orders! If the Ten Thousand Ghosts kill anyone from the Battle Department in Jin City, it will be a profound humiliation for all of Da Xia!”

Prince bowed solemnly. ”This subordinate understands.”

The complete guest list was quickly obtained.

Prince handed it directly to Ding Shaoyang. ”See if there are any unfamiliar faces in here!”

Ding Shaoyang looked it over nervously and immediately singled out four names. ”These four are neither from Jin City nor are they guests from the Imperial Capital!”

”Keep an eye on these four!”

Just then, music began to play. Cang Bingyan made her grand entrance in magnificent attire, and the lavish banquet officially began.

Thunderous applause erupted.

The guests all stared at the great beauty on the stage, marveling that she was truly worthy of her reputation as a socialite from the Imperial Capital.

Cang Bingyan took the microphone and directly invited the four commanders from the Southern Domain Battle Department to the stage.

The four men, their faces flushed from drinking, staggered onto the stage and thanked Cang Bingyan for the banquet.

”You could say our Southern Domain Battle Department is the strongest in Da Xia, and it’s all thanks to the skills of Grand Commander Luo Qilin!”

”That’s right! And for Commander Luo’s upcoming competition against that old geezer from the Northern Domain, everyone better come and support our Grand Commander!”

That old geezer from the Northern Domain?

They were talking about the Night Emperor.

A chorus of agreement rose from the crowd below.

”The Night Emperor is really washed up. It seems he hasn’t even shown his face yet.”

”He’s probably scared. Luo Qilin’s reputation is too formidable.”

The Southern Domain commander on stage grew even more arrogant. ”I’m not just bragging, but our Commander Luo is invincible! He’s thrashed the enemies in the Southern Domain so badly they were sent fleeing in disarray. What chance does a has-been Night Emperor stand against him!”

The applause was deafening.

The entire hall of guests joined in, singing Luo Qilin’s praises.

Suddenly, a shrill laugh cut through the air. ”Is that idiot Luo Qilin really so amazing? Invincible, you say? Thrashed us and sent us fleeing in disarray? You Da Xia People really know how to boast!”

Cang Bingyan was stunned. ”Who?”

The four commanders were enraged. ”Which bastard is spouting nonsense? Show yourself!”

At the banquet tables, four people slowly stood up.

All four wore masks, hiding their true faces.

Cang Bingyan grew even more alarmed. ”You... how did you get in here looking like that?”

”Heh heh, the security you hired is trash. We just spent a little money and walked right in. To be honest, we’re very disappointed. We didn’t expect a young lady from the Imperial Capital to be this incompetent!”

Cang Bingyan’s face flushed red with humiliation from their taunts.

The commanders from the Southern Domain couldn’t take it anymore and barked, ”Guards, seize them!”

The Southern Domain Guard was already stationed here. Now, eight Personal Guards appeared from both sides, charging straight for the four masked men!

BANG!

With a loud bang, all eight Personal Guards collapsed to the ground.

The entire hall fell silent.

This!

What in the world just happened?

One of the masked men casually stepped forward. ”I am the Cyan-faced Ghost, from the Southern Domain Jungle. Luo Qilin was helpless against us in the Southern Domain. Hearing you all brag just makes me laugh!”

On the stage, the four commanders sobered up instantly!

It was actually an enemy from the Southern Domain!

They finally regained the alertness of Battle Department members and leaped down together.

”Surround the entire banquet hall! Don’t let anyone out!”

”Fuck, the enemy from the Southern Domain actually came to Jin City! What the hell is the intelligence department doing?”

The four commanders exchanged rapid glances, all feeling utterly disgraced!

The man calling himself Cyan-faced Ghost was completely unafraid. He took a step forward, his tone dripping with contempt. ”I’ve seen you guys back in the Southern Domain. The so-called four commanders only know how to hide in the rear base, drinking and boasting. Heh heh, today, I’m here on orders to take your four heads!”

How arrogant!

The four commanders’ faces turned purple with rage. ”Just the four of you assassins? This is Jin City in Da Xia! Our Martial Arts Arena is right behind this place!”

The Cyan-faced Ghost chuckled. ”To be honest, in all of Da Xia, there’s only one person we pay attention to! And that’s the old geezer you were talking about—the Northern Domain Night Emperor!”

Huh?!

The people in the hall all felt a strange sense of unease.

They had been saying all night that the Night Emperor was washed up, but it turns out these assassins feared him the most?

What kind of a situation was this?

Luo Qilin’s four confidants couldn’t hold back any longer and roared, ”You’re courting death!”

The four of them were quite powerful themselves. As they attacked together, the immense force of their move overturned the surrounding banquet tables.

The Cyan-faced Ghost just stood there, letting out an even stranger, shrill laugh.

Then he extended a single finger, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound!

The four commanders cried out in alarm simultaneously. They tried to stop in their tracks, but their bodies involuntarily pitched forward and fell.

This Cyan-faced Ghost had actually broken the four commanders’ joint attack with a single finger!

The entire hall was shocked and speechless!

Luo Qilin’s four strongest men... how could they be as flimsy as paper?

The Cyan-faced Ghost was already standing before the fallen commanders.

He lifted his foot and stepped on their heads, sneering, ”These are the top experts of the Southern Domain Battle Department? The so-called Grand Commander Luo Qilin is nothing but a piece of trash in my presence. And you lot are even worse.”

The three remaining assassins from the Ten Thousand Ghosts shook their heads from behind. ”The Da Xia Battle Department is ridiculous. How can trash like this be called commanders?”

”Looks like that Luo Qilin is also just a piece of trash who only knows how to brag. Why don’t we just kill him too?”

The assassins discussed this, laughing and joking.

On the ground, the four commanders of the Southern Domain Battle Department screamed miserably as the Cyan-faced Ghost kicked them again and again, filling their mouths with blood.

The guests in the hall all lowered their heads!

On their own home turf, they were watching four men from the Southern Domain Battle Department get humiliated by outsiders.

What a humiliation this was.

A few hot-blooded individuals couldn’t stop themselves from wanting to charge forward.

As for Cang Bingyan, her face was pale, and she wore a dazed expression.

The dream in her heart had been shattered!

So, the men from the Southern Domain Battle Department weren’t heroes at all. Hearing their miserable screams now was just too ironic.

”Ha! The Da Xia Battle Department has no one left!” The Cyan-faced Ghost threw his head back and laughed. ”This is hilarious!”

Amidst the laughter, the Cyan-faced Ghost arrogantly grabbed one of the commanders. A dagger appeared in his hand, and he pressed it directly against the neck of the worthless man. ”Well then, in front of all of you, I’m going to slit this brat’s throat!”

BOOM!

Before the Cyan-faced Ghost’s dagger could cut down, a dense yet strange power struck like a bolt of lightning!

With a ZING, the dagger flew into the air!

The Cyan-faced Ghost staggered, clutching his wrist as he retreated in horror!

”Who said the Da Xia Battle Department has no one left?” Qin Tianxuan appeared like a War God, and with a SWISH, the dagger from above fell into his hand!
