Chapter 334: Three hundred and thirty-four, red lips white teeth
Swoosh!
A moment later, another whooshing sound arrived, and as everyone turned to look, they saw the Crown Prince of the Xuanyue Imperial Family hurriedly approaching.
"Yan Yong, have you captured the treasure thief Yun Xiao?"
Although Xuan Jiuding’s voice reached them before he did, he asked the question with supreme confidence, fully believing that under his plan, there was no way Yun Xiao could escape alive.
The Crown Prince’s inquiry undoubtedly sent Yan Yong into greater panic. Perhaps compared to the ever-disciplined King, he was more intimidated by the ruthless Crown Prince, knowing his very life could be at risk if he provoked him.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince... Crown Prince, Yun Xiao... he escaped!"
At this juncture, Yan Yong dared not be evasive, trembling as he stated the fact, turning Xuan Jiuding’s expression instantly dark as water upon his arrival.
In Xuan Jiuding’s mind, the primary goal was to trick Yun Xiao into giving up the Black Key, and the secondary was to kill the disrespectful brat outright.
He had arranged for the Yan brothers to ambush in the Treasure Vault, along with numerous Royal Guards attacking, thinking his plan flawless. How could a mere lad at the late stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm, trapped like a rat, stir up much trouble?
At worst, they could have severely injured Yun Xiao and captured him, with both human and physical evidence undeniable. Even if the Sect Master of Jade Pot Sect was present, at most he would return a crippled Yun Xiao, no more a cause for concern.
