Chapter 555: Chapter 366: The Peng Family Humiliated, Prince Publicly Whipped!

Lu Xuyang saw this and a satisfied, sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This was exactly the effect he wanted — to humiliate the Peng Family and embarrass the stubborn Chen Denglou.

As long as someone from the Peng Family dared to make a move, he could justifiably...

Just as Lu Xuyang was about to fan the flames further, a dragon’s roar, piercing and earth-shattering, suddenly came from the horizon!

Everyone instinctively looked up.

A golden streak of light sliced through the sky, flying towards the direction of the heavenly prison at an astonishing speed...

Lu Xuyang’s face instantly turned pale; he was all too familiar with that golden light.

It could only be the secret art of the nation, a privilege reserved for those of the core royal bloodline.

"The Nine Dragon Body Protection Scripture!"

Boom...

The golden light, like a meteor, crashed heavily onto the plaza before the heavenly prison.

The terrifying shockwave overturned dozens of imperial guards amidst flying dust and stones.

A tall figure slowly emerged...

Everyone’s hearts trembled violently — that vaguely visible, deep purple figure was none other than... the Crown Prince, Lu Xuan!

Lu Xuyang’s whole body stiffened as he slowly turned around!

At some point, Lu Xuan was already standing three steps behind him.

Those golden pupils, harboring dragon shadows, coldly stared at him as if looking at a dead man...

"Ninth brother, you seem quite eloquent!"

This cold voice, like the icy springs of the netherworld, instantly froze the entire scene.

Lu Xuyang’s whole body stiffened, his pupils constricting abruptly, his voice stuck in his throat.

"Big... big brother, the... the Crown Prince..."

Lu Xuan stood there with his hands behind his back, his deep purple dragon robe fluttering without wind, those eyes glowing with gold seemed to pierce through one’s soul.

Even more frightening, Lu Xuyang distinctly felt an unprecedented pressure forcing his knees to weaken uncontrollably.

"Brother, pay... pay respects to big brother..."

Lu Xuyang forced himself to salute, his voice dry like sandpaper.

At this moment, he only wished to escape this terrifying place as quickly as possible: "I... I shall take my leave now..."

With that, Lu Xuyang was about to turn and board the carriage.

"When did I permit you to leave?"

This light remark, however, made Lu Xuyang feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He was horrified to find that his legs wouldn’t obey him as if an invisible force had pinned him to the spot!

Lu Xuan stepped forward slowly, each step seeming to tread on Lu Xuyang’s heart.

When only three steps remained between them, Lu Xuyang finally saw the sight in Lu Xuan’s eyes clearly.

They were clearly not the pupils a human should have, but... vertical-slit, golden dragon eyes!

Lu Xuan ignored Lu Xuyang’s terror, raising his right hand slowly.

In his palm, brilliant golden spiritual light rapidly condensed, gradually forming into a long whip shaped like a dragon’s tail.

The whip’s surface was adorned with intricate dragon scale patterns, the tip flickering with a fearsome golden glow.

"Big... big brother!" Lu Xuyang’s face turned ashen, his voice changing tone, "I know I was wrong!"

Lu Xuan seemed oblivious, the Dragon Tail Whip lightly flicked —

Snap!

The first whip struck Lu Xuyang’s right leg, the crisp sound of bones cracking accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream resounded outside the heavenly prison.

This ninth prince instantly fell to his knees, his right leg twisting at a bizarre angle.

"Ah!!! Father save—"

Snap! Snap! Snap...

Several more lashes relentlessly landed on his left leg, and Lu Xuyang’s screams abruptly ceased, leaving him passed out from the pain.

Yet with a flick of Lu Xuan’s fingertip, a ray of golden light pierced into his forehead, forcibly awakening him again.

For the next half an hour, chilling wails echoed across the flat ground outside the heavenly prison.
