Domineering three halls

The patriarchs of the four major families were infuriated to the point of choking when they witnessed him in such a state!

Even Emperor Taishang felt that his precious imperial grandson had gone too far and let out a light cough twice. "Old San, tell me, what do you think?" Baili Jia Jue

lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes drooping like wings, and his slender fingers, adorned with white gloves, tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the chair, clearly indicating that he was lost in his own thoughts.

The patriarchs glared at the profile of Baili Jia Jue, their expressions clearly conveying their indignation to Emperor Taishang as if saying, "Emperor Taishang, look at him!"

Sun Gonggong, who stood at the side, had to nudge his master with the dust on his hand.

Finally, Baili Jia Jue lifted his eyes and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sun Gonggong immediately whispered, "Your Highness, Emperor Taishang is calling you."

"Your Highness!" one of the patriarchs from the four major families took a step forward and spoke loudly, "Regarding the matter of sending troops to Taibai Academy, shouldn't you provide us with a reasonable explanation, Lord Bailiga?"

Baili Jia Jue casually raised his head and glanced at him.

Those eyes were so profound that it sent shivers down people's spines.

The people being stared at were shocked, feeling an impulse to retreat, but they couldn't do so this time. They had jointly entered the palace, and the Third Prince didn't dare to really make a move against them!

"Hmm." At that moment, Baili Jia Jue chuckled, his voice extremely light, but unable to conceal his innate grace and grandeur. "The Spirit Realm Forest is infested with a large number of winged folding beasts, and even the fire unicorn has appeared. Does Elder Nie intend to let the main hall stand by and watch the academy students be captured?"

The patriarch was taken aback. "This...this is not right. His Highness sent troops at that time to capture that Helian..."

"Elder Nie," Lord Baili Jia interrupted the patriarch slowly, "the main hall dispatched troops upon receiving news of disturbances in the Spirit Realm Forest. As for the search for Helian Weiwei, it was merely an incidental matter."

The patriarch was utterly dumbfounded and turned to look at Murong Wang. Was that true? How was it completely different from the information he received?

Murong Wang's face also froze, and Su Jiacheng, they exchanged glances, their minds spinning with countless thoughts. They never expected the Third Prince to directly deliver a sentence like this: "He dispatched soldiers to suppress the divine beasts and protect the academy students."

In this way, what more could they ask for!

The patriarchs were seething with anger, causing a temporary lull in the hall that had been filled with constant disputes.

Sun Gonggong listened to this, his expression changing, and then changing again, until finally, he couldn't help but admire Baili Jia Jue with great respect.

Only his master could tell a lie so convincingly!

Nangong Lie, the youngest sacrificer of the Battle Dragon Empire, also stood in that hall, but his position was relatively concealed, so no one saw how close he came to bursting into laughter upon hearing Baili Jia Jue's words!

He refused to believe that Ah Jue would dispatch his own secret guards just to protect the students.

This was Ah Jue's way of fooling those old fools, hahahaha!

"Ari." The patriarch standing next to him glanced at him. In the Battle Dragon Empire, sacrificers, like saints, had to wear veils and don holy robes.

Therefore, the patriarch could only see the thick veil and not Nangong Lie's expression at the moment. If he could see it, he would definitely not entertain the idea of involving Nangong Lie.

"As the youngest priest of the Nangong family, shouldn't you say a few words?" the patriarch asked.

Nangong Lie had been enjoying the show, so being suddenly called upon, he looked at the patriarch who had spoken.

The patriarch believed that he had a good relationship with the Nangong family. Not to mention, he also knew that ever since the Third Prince lost his martial energy, the sacrificer family no longer held the same reverence for him as before.

Hence, Ah Lie would surely stand on his side.

Nangong Lie truly wished to stand by his side, as it would enable him to strangle him with his own hands!

"So, Lord Sacrificer, do you have something to say?" Baili Jia Jue picked up on the cue.

Nangong Lie's back trembled, and a wicked smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He adjusted his robe and spoke, "Your Highness, our sacrificer clan is solely concerned with prophecy and does not partake in any imperial politics except during major events."

Nangong Lie's statement didn't surprise Murong Wang. The sacrificial clan had always been like this, not criticizing the faults of the royal family but instead avoiding involvement in important matters.

However, since Nangong Lie didn't speak up in support of the Third Prince, it meant that the information he had received was indeed accurate, and the loyalty of the sacrificial family toward the royal family had diminished...

Although they didn't gain any favors from the Third Prince today, it was still worth it. At least they confirmed an important matter.

However, what Murong Wang didn't realize was that perceptions were often skewed.

For example, the relationship between the sacrificial family and Baili Jia Jue.

Indeed, the sacrificial family was no longer as loyal to the royal family as before.

However, he neglected the fact that the intentions of the sacrificial family didn't necessarily align with Nangong Lie's own thoughts.

As the heir of the sacrificial clan, Nangong Lie had long chosen the king he would be loyal to in the future.

And that king could be none other than Lord Bailiga.

This was the bond between the sacrificial family and the royal family.

They had been brothers for ten years. From their very first meeting, the young Baili Jia Jue had handpicked Nangong Lie, also a young boy at the time, from thousands of potential sacrifices as the successor to the sacrificial lineage. Their fates were intertwined...

Bang!

The patriarchs and heirs of the four major families retreated one after another, and even Emperor Taishang withdrew to his quarters.

The heavy palace doors instantly transformed into a barrier, muffling any sound from the outside.

The sinister smile on Nangong Lie's face vanished, and he placed his right hand over his left shoulder, slightly bowing. "My Lord."

Although Bailiga appeared nonchalant, he still had responsibilities to fulfill while standing here.

As expected, Baili Jia Jue lazily raised his eyelids and raised an eyebrow. "You may kneel directly on the ground."
