Chapter 278
Xia Yusen and the others were extremely angry. They were Intermediate level Inscriptionists and they were able to defend the great formation. They had never been humiliated like this before.
“Fine, if you do not compensate us, then we will leave this city! Let’s see who you find to protect this formation. When the entire city is captured, it will all be because of you, the crown prince!” Xia Yusen sneered as he laid down his words.
Meng FeiLing hurriedly pulled at Qin Yun with a look of helplessness.
Although she hated these few middle-aged men, they could still protect the great formation. That formation was related to the safety of the millions of people in the capital.
If Xia Yusen and the others left, no one would be able to protect the array. If there was a problem with the formation and the magical beasts attacked, the entire city would be in danger.
“If you want to leave, then go! In this world, it is not only you who know how to maintain great formations!” Qin Yun said without a care. He himself was a high-grade Inscription Master. He alone was able to maintain a great array formation that a mid-level Inscription Master could.
Meng FeiLing did not say anything but felt that Qin Yun had another way. After all, Qin Yun was stronger than her and many Inscription Master. Furthermore, he was Prince of Tianqin. He definitely had a way to ensure the operation of the great array.
Xia Yusen and company were stunned when they saw Qin Yun chase them away. They thought that Qin Yun would apologize to them and compensate them for the loss of the Vajra Shield.
Not far away, a few elders appeared.
“Junior Brother Xiao Yun, our Meng family’s seniors have arrived! Since father and grandfather are not here, they are in charge of managing the affairs of Demon Imperial City!” Meng FeiLing said in a low voice.
When Xia Yusen and the others saw the seniors of the Meng family in the distance, they immediately felt relieved. They understood these seniors very well. The greater the importance of the situation, the more likely it was that they would be kept here.
The leader was an old man from the Meng Clan. He was tall and thin, had a crane hairstyle and had maintained his appearance extremely well. Although he was old, the wrinkles on his face were not many. A clean and tidy white robe made him look even more energetic.
The old man was the younger brother of Grandpa of Meng FeiLing. His name was Meng Tao.
“Granduncle!” Meng feiling shouted.
Qin Yun hurried over and greeted the five elders.
“Qin Yun is that impressive son of Qin Long?” Meng Tao looked at Qin Yun and nodded.
“I am the child!” Although he was the crown prince, he had great respect for the elderly. After all, they had guarded the borders for many years. They had repelled the Beastmen army many times, allowing the Tian Qin Empire to settle down for many years.
“It’s great that you guys are here, this crown prince is extremely arrogant, he actually wants to chase us away!” Xia Yuesen hurriedly stepped forward, took out his broken Vajra Shield and recounted what had just happened.
After the few elders of the Meng family heard about it, they were roughly able to understand what had happened.
However, they were rather astonished by Qin Yun’s strength. He had managed to destroy a rather good mid grade spirit artifact, the Vajra Shield, to such an extent.
Seeing the few elders of the Meng Family, Xia YuSen’s face revealed a troubled expression and added on: “Seniors, you must think carefully! Don’t let a mere crown prince’s willfulness lead to the fall of this city. Millions of people have died because of this! Previously, the people of Mystique Wind city were rude to us and after we left, the entire city was taken over by magical beasts!”
When Qin Yun heard the name Mystique Wind City, his heart jolted!
The Mystique Wind City was the city that was protected by the Divine Inscription Palace. Because someone had opened the city gates and closed the formation, the demonic beasts had broken through it!
As for Xia Yusen and the others, they had actually been in charge of operating the Mystique Wind City’s formation!
Qin Yun thought of this and looked at Xia Yusen’s vile character. He could not help but suspect that they were the ones who had overrun Mystique Wind City! And now, they actually wanted to take action against Demon Imperial City!
Meng Tao looked at Qin Yun and said with a frown, “Crown Prince, why don’t each of you take a step back. We will compensate for the loss of the Vajra Shield. Then, let them stay behind and continue to maintain the operation of the formation.”
“Old Meng, you’re saying that I have the right to decide whether they stay or not?” Qin Yun asked. He had thought that these seniors would not listen to him.
“You are the crown prince, the future emperor of Tianqin. Qin Long came here before and told us to follow you and trust you in the future.” Meng Tao sighed. “I hope you won’t disappoint us!”
Qin Yun nodded and said, “In that case, please do as I say elders! First of all, send down the order to guard all the city gates strictly and close them tightly. One can only enter the city and not leave. Each city gate must send their strongest forces to guard the city. It would be best if there are Martial Dao Realm cultivators guarding the city!”
“Second, arrest Xia Yusen and the others!”
The few elders of the Meng Family, Meng Fei Ling and Xia YuSen were all stunned.
They did not understand why Qin Yun would issue such an order!
“Little Brother Yun, you’re not joking right?” She had also noticed that Meng Tao and a few other elders were filled with doubts regarding Qin Yun’s orders.
“Please do as I say!” Qin Yun said seriously.
Meng Tao thought for a moment and said, “Crown Prince, can you tell us why you’re doing this? In particular, I have my doubts and dissatisfaction about capturing some of Xia Yusen’s people. This is because they are the Inscription Masters we invited and they are in charge of the operation of the formation. The Great Array is related to the fate of the entire city. Moreover, during this period of time, it’s not easy to find Inscription Masters. If they are caught, then who is going to protect the formation?”
Xia Yusen said proudly, “Qin Yun, don’t bully others with your power! I know you have grudges against us but don’t cause the millions of people in the city to suffer because of personal grudges! You truly are a despicable and incompetent crown prince. If you were to become the emperor of Tianqin, then Tian Qin will be destroyed very soon! ”
“We are the most powerful Intermediate Inscriptionists, we will not allow you to humiliate us! Please apologize to us or we will leave Demon Imperial City immediately! ”
Meng Tao and company remained silent. They wanted to see how Qin Yun would respond.
“Since you are the strongest intermediate level Inscription Master! Then, take out your Inscriptionists badge first!” Qin Yun looked at Xia Yusen and said with a sneer, “I don’t approve of the fact that you are the strongest intermediate level inscription master!”
Xia Yusen immediately took out a silver badge. The badge was flickering with a silver light; it was indeed an Intermediate Inscription Master badge.
“What about them?” Qin Yun pointed at the other middle-aged men.
“This…” Xia Yuesen was momentarily at a loss for words.
Qin Yun said with a sneer, “Are they really Inscription Masters?”
Xia YuSen said angrily: “Of course they are the Inscription Masters! They only kept a low profile and didn’t participate in the trial of the Divine Inscription Palace, so they don’t have badges! But they are all very powerful Intermediate Inscriptionists!”
Qin Yun laughed. “I don’t believe your lies! There are many benefits to passing the trial of the Inscription Palace, who would not go? Furthermore, this is the most direct way to prove your strength. Since you don’t have an emblem, don’t spout so much nonsense. In my opinion, you are all scammers! As soon as you arrived at the Meng Family, you even started harassing the maids here.”
Xia Yusen was flustered and exasperated as he shouted at Meng Tao, “Old Meng, you better chase Qin Yun away! Seeing how powerful your Meng Family is, he is worried that you will affect his power in the future. Therefore, he wants to destroy the powerful and prosperous city you built! Such a person is not worthy of your loyalty!”
Meng Tao and the other elders were all frowning!
Meng FeiLing was furious and shouted, “Shut up, little brother Yun is not the kind of person you are talking about! He isn’t greedy for power and he is nice to people. As for you, you insulted our Meng Family’s maidservants. This is a fact.”
“This… We’re in a difficult situation!” Meng Tao sighed. He didn’t know what to do. He said, “Let’s wait for Boss Meng to come back first!”
Boss Meng was Meng Fei Ling’s grandfather, the Demon Lord!
“Old Meng, you must do as I say. Otherwise, Demon Imperial City will be in danger!” Qin Yun said hurriedly.
“But… But if we capture them, who will protect the formation?” Although Meng Tao was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Yun’s actions, he could not say anything.
When Xia Yusen saw that Meng Tao did not follow Qin Yun’s instructions, he was very pleased and felt a lot more at ease.
“I will protect the formation!” Qin Yun said as he took out a golden emblem and said, “I’m a high-ranked Inscription Master. I can maintain the great array they maintain and my relationship with the Great Elder of the Divine Inscription palace is very good. I sent a message to him to send the best Inscription Master team as soon as possible!”
The emblem in Qin Yun’s hand shimmered with golden light. It was extremely eye-catching, leaving everyone in a daze from shock!
Meng Tao and company were experienced and knowledgeable elders, so they were naturally able to tell that the golden badge was real. It was indeed Qin Yun’s own high-grade Inscription Master badge. If not, he would not have been able to emit such a bright golden light!
Meng FeiLing never expected that not only was Qin Yun’s cultivation stronger than hers, he had also become a high-ranked Inscription Master. At this moment, besides being shocked, she was also incomparably excited!
“This… This is impossible! You’re only a seventeen year old brat, how could you possibly be a high-level Inscription Master? This badge must be something you forged!” He had already used most of his life to become an intermediate level Inscription Master, he could not aceept it.
And it was even more difficult to become a high-ranked Inscription Master. Hence, he did not believe that Qin Yun was a high-ranked Inscription Master!
“Grand uncles, is this a real badge?” Meng FeiLing also had some doubts because this was simply too unbelievable.
Qin Yun handed the badge to Meng Tao and said, “Old Meng, please inspect it. I definitely have the ability to maintain the array!”
Meng Tao took the emblem and examined it carefully. At the same time, he passed it to the other elders to examine it together with them.
After a careful examination, they were certain that this was a genuine badge!
However, they still could not believe that Qin Yun was a high-ranked inscriptionist!
Xia Yusen shouted, “Don’t be fooled by Qin Yun. If he was a high-ranked Inscription Master, this matter would have caused a sensation everywhere. Furthermore, the Star Xuan Wu Academy would not chase him out!”
The elders of the Star Xuan Wu Academy did indeed know that Qin Yun was a high-ranked Inscription Master but they did not dare to advertise the matter. That was because they would be ridiculed by others for expelling a young high-ranked Inscription Master.
“How about this, I’ll refine a high-grade spirit artifact on the spot and prove that I’m a high-grade Inscription Master! That way, Old Meng, you guys can be at ease and do as I tell you to do!” As Qin Yun spoke, he took out the tools needed for forging artifacts from his storage space.
