’I’ll look even further!’

’I’m rich!’

’I have lots and lots of money!’

’It’d be a waste not to spend it!’

Gao Neng’s thoughts stirred, and he once again looked further ahead.

According to the Ghostly Ghost Eye’s settings, the farther he looked, the more Alliance Coins it consumed. But he wasn’t afraid. He was a mega-tycoon right now.

His gaze swept over every corner of the Royal Hall.

He saw many things.

For example, the mother of the Fourth Prince, Xue Ruyu...

Of course, that wasn’t important.

What was important was that he finally saw what was happening at the Blood Pool.

It was a massive pool of water.

Waves churned on its surface.

So, he directly used his x-ray vision to look into the pool.

Soon, he saw Gao Xiaomeng in the pool... To be precise, he saw eight Gao Xiaomengs standing around the Blood Pool.

In addition to that, he also saw a dragon.

Yes!

A white dragon!

’A Fairy Dragon?! Bai Feixue!!!’ Gao Neng had seen the video from the South District City Gate, so he naturally recognized the white dragon at a glance.

’Why is Bai Feixue here?’

Gao Neng didn’t know.

The only thing he could guess was that the one in front of Bai Feixue with two golden horns... must be Bloodthirst, one of the three Strongest of the North District!

’Wait!’

’Why is that Fang Tangtang girl also running toward the Blood Pool?’

’Damn it. I don’t know if Gao Xiaomeng succeeded or not, but with Bai Feixue here... the odds should be pretty good. I have to get over there!’ Gao Neng gritted his teeth.

At a critical moment like this, he naturally wouldn’t back down.

He could only go all-in.

However, flying over with eighty-nine genetic weapons was a bit too ostentatious. He decided to put them away for now, at least to make the journey smoother.

Gao Neng stored the genetic weapons away again.

And began to rush toward the Blood Pool.

...

「At the Blood Pool, around the water’s edge.」

Including the Blood Race King, Blood Spray, all the Blood Race Princes, Vice Corps Commanders, and Elders... any Blood Race member with status was half-kneeling by the side of the pool.

BOOM!

A loud noise erupted from the pool.

Bloodthirst, dressed in a wide robe, shot out of the water.

"Ancestor!" Clan King Blood Spray immediately prostrated himself.

The other Princes, Vice Corps Commanders, Elders, and so on did the same.

"..." Bloodthirst watched this scene, his mouth twitching twice. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a figure in the distance running toward him.

"Lord Bloodthirst... Clan King Blood Spray! Don’t stop me... It’s urgent! Gao Neng... Gao Neng is right here in the Royal Hall!" the White-faced King shouted as he ran.

BOOM!

The pool stirred again.

A figure leaped out of the water.

It was Gao Xiaomeng, who had transformed back into the Seventh Princess.

"The Seventh Princess?! No... that’s not right, she’s a fake too! She’s with Gao Neng!" the White-faced King immediately spoke up again upon seeing Gao Xiaomeng.

"Ancestor!" Clan King Blood Spray prepared to stand.

But Bloodthirst frowned and shook his head at Blood Spray.

Blood Spray immediately knelt back down.

"Lord Bloodthirst, please act quickly and kill Gao Neng... He is an absolute major threat to our non-human races!" The White-faced King ran to the edge of the pool and half-knelt.

"Where is Gao Neng?" Bloodthirst finally spoke.

"He’s with the Fourth Prin— Huh? He’s here!" The White-faced King’s eyes went wide, for he was astonished to find that Gao Neng had actually delivered himself to them.

How incredible!

’Does someone who’s so eager to die actually exist in this world?’

"Nonsense, how is that Gao Neng? That’s clearly the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race!" Gao Xiaomeng, disguised as the Seventh Princess, said with a smirk when she saw Gao Neng.

"No, he really is Gao Neng, I saw it with my own eyes!" the White-faced King shouted, then pointed at Gao Xiaomeng. "They’re in this together, Lord Bloodthirst, please believe me! I can swear it on my blood!"

"Is that so?" Bloodthirst narrowed his eyes.

"It’s the absolute truth!" the White-faced King confirmed.

"But, what I see is indeed the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race." Bloodthirst glanced at Gao Xiaomeng behind him, then at Gao Neng, who had also arrived at the pool.

...

Gao Neng had arrived.

Because Gao Xiaomeng was standing right behind Bloodthirst.

’What did he have to be afraid of?’

He arrived with extreme composure, not panicking in the slightest. He passed through the surrounding ranks of the Blood Shadow Army, and in front of the Clan King Blood Spray and other Ninth-Order Blood Race powerhouses, he strode up behind the White-faced King.

"White-faced King, you dare to slander me?" A smile played on Gao Neng’s lips.

"Slander? Give me a break! I saw you pull out your genetic weapons with my own eyes, and there’s even a Blood Race Legion Commander to testify. You killed the Fourth Prince. Today, you will surely die!" the White-faced King snorted coldly.

"You’re the one who killed the Fourth Prince!" Gao Neng pointed a finger at the White-faced King.

"That’s right, he’s the one who killed the Fourth Prince!" a crisp voice rang out, and a figure suddenly landed beside Gao Neng.

It was Fang Tangtang.

Unlike Gao Neng, Fang Tangtang obviously didn’t know what had happened beneath the pool.

But she still stepped forward.

To stand by Gao Neng’s side at a time like this.

And she even winked at Gao Xiaomeng, who was behind Bloodthirst.

"Me? I killed the Fourth Prince?! HAHAHA... Gao Neng, stop the act! Do you really think Lord Bloodthirst and Clan King Blood Spray are fools?" The White-faced King laughed in fury, then immediately pointed to a Vice Corps Commander of the Blood Shadow Army kneeling behind Clan King Blood Spray. "Brother, it’s your turn to speak. Tell Lord Bloodthirst who really killed the Fourth Prince!"

The one the White-faced King pointed at was precisely the Ninth-Order Blood Race powerhouse who had been in the room with him earlier.

Therefore, he was extremely confident.

Gao Neng was trapped, with no way out.

"Ancestor..." The Ninth-Order Blood Race powerhouse stood up, his gaze shifting between Gao Neng and the White-faced King. "I, Blood Splash, Vice Corps Commander of the Blood Shadow Army, have never lied in my life. I can testify that the Ninth Princess is real, and the one who murdered the Fourth Prince was none other than this White-faced King of the Ice and Snow Race!"

"What?! You’re lying!!!" The White-faced King’s face turned even whiter.

"I said, I do not lie!" Blood Splash said through gritted teeth.

"No, this is impossible! I came to help you! I helped you uncover the truth! This Ninth Princess is a fake, an imposter played by Gao Neng! I saw him kill the Fourth Prince with my own eyes... Your own people saw it too! There were so many Blood Race members present at the time. Are you all blind?" The White-faced King was on the verge of going insane.

"What we saw was you killing the Fourth Prince!"

"Yes!"

"You killed the Fourth Prince!"

One voice after another rang out.

"What do you have to say for yourself now? White-faced King, you killed the Fourth Prince. Today, there’s no escape for you!" Gao Neng spoke up again.

"No escape for me? Are you... are you going to kill me?!" The White-faced King’s body trembled. Looking at the gazes all around him, he suddenly felt like a sheep surrounded by a pack of wolves.

It was too cold!

’Have all the Blood Race turned into idiots?!’

’Why is this happening?’

’Wait!’

’Could it be...’

’No!’

’It’s impossible. Bloodthirst is standing guard right here.’

’Who could possibly get near the Blood Pool?’

’And most importantly, there are only a handful of people who possess the ’Root’... Something like this is simply impossible.’

"Seize him!" Bloodthirst ordered.

"Yes!" Clan King Blood Spray and the Blood Shadow Army immediately stood up, ready to strike.

"Ah, I won’t let you succeed! Even if I die, I’m taking someone down with me!" The White-faced King’s gaze turned cold, and he instantly rushed toward Fang Tangtang and Gao Neng.

He was a Ninth-Order King Realm expert!

If he fought to the death and completely unleashed his Soul Power, he was confident that even if he couldn’t kill Gao Neng, he could at least inflict heavy injuries.

"Die!" This time, the White-faced King didn’t use his frost energy. Instead, he directly released his soul, intending to clash souls with Gao Neng.

ROAR!

But just then, a white light shot out from the pool.

With just one claw!

The soul released by the White-faced King was caught.

"YEE!!" The White-faced King’s soul struggled, letting out a terrified shriek.

But it was completely useless.

The dragon’s claw clenched.

And the White-faced King’s soul was instantly crushed.

At this moment, Gao Xiaomeng’s face was flushed with excitement. With a flash, she leaped between the white dragon and Gao Neng. "Mom, I did a great job on this mission, didn’t I? Actually, Big Brother helped out a lot, too. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to get away so quickly."

"Mhm..." Hearing Gao Xiaomeng’s words, Gao Neng subconsciously nodded. But he quickly realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute, Gao Xiaomeng, what did you just call the Fairy Dragon, Bai Feixue? Mom?!"
