BXBX NOVEL Chapter 63 63: Traitor
The Elders glared at Xu Shan. Even though it wasn\'t obvious, they felt that the young man was insulting the Celestial Palace.
They all thought that Xu Shan was a bit too arrogant. However they also realized his identity. There was only one person who matched his description... The Third Prince of the Ancient Eternal Dynasty.
If it wasn\'t for Ye Han standing right behind Xu Shan, the Elders felt that they would\'ve already slapped some sense into the young man.
"Big words... For a useless man."
Just as the Elders were about to speak, a sharp voice came from a distance. The voice seemingly belonged to a young woman.
Xu Shan couldn\'t help but glance at the source of that voice, noticing a red haired woman standing there. Even though he didn\'t recognize that woman, he felt as if her eyes contained anger and hatred for him.
The woman was around the same age as him. However, her strength was not weak. She was only a Peak Stage Celestial General.
Even though that strength wasn\'t comparable to him, but it was already very good for her age since it was comparable to the Saintes of the Celestial Place.
The other youngsters also looked at the woman, taken aback. For someone to talk to an Ancient Dynasty Prince in that time... It was shocking. However, they also knew that she was probably one of the only few who could talk to him like that.
The woman was one of the rare few youngsters who was already selected by the Celestial Palace as a disciple before all the tests were even over, since she showed immense talent and skills in the initial tests already.
Since she was already a disciple of the Celestial Palace now, it was clear that the Celestial Palace was going to protect her so she didn\'t need to worry about the Eternal Dynasty.
Hearing the red haired girl\'s response, the Elders also revealed a smile. Since they were much older than Xu Shan, they couldn\'t talk like that to him.
They had to maintain their dignity as the Elders and not bicker with a young brat. However, the girl was different since she was the same age as him. Her words only impressed the Elders who thought that it was the right decision.
"Do I know you?" Xu Shan asked, slightly curious. It was the first time that he was meeting her... At least as far as he could remember. So it didn\'t make sense for her eyes to reveal such immense hatred for him.
On the other hand, it was Ye Han, whose eyes revealed a lot of surprise as he noticed a strange tattoo on the neck of the young woman.
"Are you from the Worden Tribe?" Ye Han chimed in, taking a few guesses from that tattoo itself.
The Worden Tribe was the only Tribe in which every member had such tattoos on their necks.
"Worden Tribe?" Xu Shan also revealed a look of understanding. Finally it made sense to him. "So you\'re from that traitorous tribe?"
From what he saw in the Third Prince\'s memories, the Worden Tribe was a tribe that used to live in the Eternal Dynasty. However, the Tribe got into some conflict with the Third Prince.
The very next day, the entire tribe was exterminated by the orders of the Third Prince. And to justify the aftermath, it was declared that the Worden Tribe were traitors who were working for the Sky Dynasty.
Even though Xu Shan had no hand in what happened, that didn\'t change the fact that he was the Third Prince now and he had to stay in this lane till the end. He couldn\'t just say that the tribe wasn\'t traitors, as that could only affect his own reputation and the Eternal Dynasty adversely.
"And here I thought all those traitors were eliminated..." He couldn\'t help but shake his head in pity. "Looks like one rat managed to escape."
He glanced at Ye Han before continuing, "And that\'s why it\'s important to take care of problems at the root."
"You!" Yei, the woman with fiery red hair, tightly clenched her teeth, creating an audible grinding sound.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that her palms had started bleeding already.
The only reason she had managed to survive that onslaught was because she wasn\'t in the Eternal Dynasty when her clan was wiped out.
She felt crushed when she found out that her entire clan was killed! She wanted to rush back right then to kill that Third Prince who led their clan to this dead end. She knew all too well that her clan wasn\'t a traitor after all.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for her to kill a Prince with the kind of security he had. That\'s why she never returned to the Eternal Dynasty. She went from place to place, trying to find ways to become strong enough to one day have her revenge!
It was easy for her to kill the Third Prince who was a mortal. However she needed strength to pass through everyone who was protecting the Third Prince.
For a long time, she even forgot about life and death, entering many ancient tombs in search of strength. Fortunately, she also managed to receive a great warrior\'s inheritance in one of those tombs.
She was only a little over twenty years old, but thanks to the inheritance, her talent had improved to the point where she was already a Peak Celestial General. Unfortunately, that wasn\'t enough! She needed more strength!
That\'s when she was scouted by an Elder of the Celestial Palace who gave her a participation token for the disciple election exams.
She knew that this was a perfect opportunity for her. If she could join the Celestial Palace, the path ahead of her would\'ve been much more stable! The Celestial Palace was said to be comparable to the Eternal Dynasty after all!
She came to the selection with great hopes and she also managed to get selection in the middle of the exams, becoming an official disciple!
Everything was going well, until he came... The person she hated the most! Fortunately, now she didn\'t have to be scared! She was officially a disciple of the Celestial Palace and even he couldn\'t do anything to her here!
