Seeing Ye Luo make a move, naturally, several people immediately lunged toward him.

The Pearfall Palace Young Master’s servants were sent into the Royal Academy at great expense. Since they qualified for the Academy’s special recruitment criteria, without exception, they were all strong fighters. Some were already in the Academy and later recruited by him.

At this moment, as many as a dozen people suddenly appeared, all of whom had been hidden in the vicinity.

"Stop! Breaking into the banquet uninvited—kid, I think you’ve got a death wish!"

Someone brandished their weapon and directly blocked Ye Luo’s path.

However, Ye Luo would never waste words on him. Without hesitation, he kicked him hard.

With a thunderous crash, the man was sent flying by Ye Luo’s kick, smashing into the main door, which shattered into pieces.

The sudden clash left everyone in the banquet hall stunned.

Their heads turned toward the entrance, only to see Ye Luo already striding inside. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Perhaps Ye Luo’s name or that of the Ninth Prince was known to many, but few had ever seen Ye Luo in person. At this moment, everyone in the banquet hall was dumbfounded that someone dared cause trouble at such an occasion.

This was tantamount to openly disgracing the Pearfall Palace Young Master!

Many wore amused expressions, eager to see what would happen next with Ye Luo at the entrance.

Yet Ye Luo had no time to spare for them!

Suddenly, unleashing "Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens," Ye Luo charged forward without hesitation toward one direction—the spot where Princess Ling Xue was located!

"Stop him! Damn it! How dare you cause trouble at my banquet? Stop him now!"

The Pearfall Palace Young Master roared, his voice tinged with anger and confusion about how Ye Luo had pinpointed Princess Ling Xue’s exact position.

This banquet hall had been meticulously arranged by him. Under the name of enhancing the guests’ enjoyment, he had set up several formations, one of which weakened Divine Sense. Normally, inside the banquet hall, even a Qi Cyclone Realm expert could only extend their Divine Sense to a few meters around them!

This was deliberately planned for the Pearfall Palace Young Master’s scheme!

But how could Ye Luo locate Princess Ling Xue so precisely?

The two were separated by hundreds of meters!

Regardless of the reason, the Pearfall Palace Young Master would never let Ye Luo rescue her.

Missing this chance would mean he would lose any future opportunity to act against Princess Ling Xue. Though it might appear untraceable, if he failed, the Pearfall Palace Young Master would undoubtedly feel deep resentment.

One by one, students controlled by or loyal to the Pearfall Palace Young Master made their move, trying to block Ye Luo.

Unfortunately, Ye Luo was not someone they could stop on a whim.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another; each sound signaled someone being sent flying by Ye Luo.

In the beginning, some attendees inside the banquet hall watched with mild amusement, but now they were growing increasingly alarmed!

"Damn, who is this brat? He actually dares ruin our banquet! I’ll teach you a lesson!"

One of the Royal Academy students attending the banquet finally stood up, unable to tolerate Ye Luo’s antics any longer, and stepped forward to confront him.

Unfortunately, despite his fierce words, he couldn’t even withstand a single punch from Ye Luo.

His words, however, stirred outrage in others.

Indeed! They were hosting this banquet to enjoy themselves, but now some random troublemaker had wrecked the event. It wasn’t just disrespect toward the Pearfall Palace Young Master; it was a slap in the face to all of them!

In an instant, emotions ran high, and many began joining forces to obstruct Ye Luo!

Ye Luo grew increasingly anxious, noticing that some individuals had begun rapidly setting up a Transmission Array. If they succeeded in completing it, Princess Ling Xue would be abducted, and Ye Luo would have no way to track her down.

No matter what, Princess Ling Xue was his senior sister!

How could Ye Luo stand idly by and let her be taken away? His conscience would never allow it!

"Imperial Dragon Art—Purple Imperial Dragon Seal!"

Finally, Ye Luo unleashed a killing blow for the first time!

Inside the Royal Academy, using a killing move outside the arena was strictly forbidden.

But Ye Luo didn’t care anymore!

Suddenly, a flash of light erupted, and a colossal purple dragon materialized, its authority undeniable. Who would dare to confront it directly?

In their minds, they thought Ye Luo, even if disruptive, would never risk using a killing move for fear of violating the academy’s taboo.

But they had utterly underestimated Ye Luo’s audacity!

At this moment, the attendees scattered in panic. Everyone knew that attempting to block the dragon might cost them their lives!

Of course, Ye Luo wasn’t aiming to kill anyone outright. The purpose of unleashing the Imperial Dragon Art was simply to clear a path!

"Boom!"

With a resounding strike, the dragon shadow crashed into a seemingly ordinary spot. Yet, as though breaking a mirror, the area instantly cracked, revealing several hidden individuals behind it!

These people were moments away from completing the formation and teleporting away.

But now, they no longer had the chance—the charging Ye Luo had arrived.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Luo threw rapid punches, sending the group flying before scooping Princess Ling Xue into his arms!

The entire banquet hall froze in shock!

It was Princess Ling Xue!

Many attendees didn’t even know Princess Ling Xue was here, as they had unknowingly been isolated by the formations from the start!

Others who were aware of her presence were part of the Pearfall Palace Young Master’s faction. Seeing the plan collapse, the Pearfall Palace Young Master’s face changed drastically, fully aware of the dire consequences of failure.

Kidnapping Princess Ling Xue carried a severe penalty, one no ordinary person could bear.

"Kill him! Retrieve Princess Ling Xue! As for the others—leave no survivors!"

At his command, numerous figures emerged, and even some attendees in the hall suddenly turned on their companions with cold intent.

In mere moments, over a dozen people lay dead!

Terror spread like wildfire. From Ye Luo crashing the banquet to the revelation of Princess Ling Xue’s abduction, now escalating into bloody carnage, many couldn’t grasp what was happening.

Screams and cries filled the air. For these aristocratic youths who had never killed before, bullying the meek was one thing, but engaging in blood-soaked battle was another entirely—they simply couldn’t handle it!

At this moment, many were overcome with horror!
