Everyone was stunned the moment they realized who that woman in the giant eagle’s grasp was.
 


Eldest Princess!!
The guard captain stared in disbelief.
 

The formerly elegant Eldest Princess looked utterly pathetic in the claws of that giant eagle flying in mid-air. Her luxurious garb had been stained with blood while her exquisitely made-up face was a ghastly white. Her lips had been drained of all color.
 


Ji Fengyan! How dare you subject the Eldest Princess to such disrespect!
The guard captain admonished as he pointed his sword.
 

Ji Fengyan chuckled. She glanced at the subdued Eldest Princess, and then at the indignant guard captain.
Disrespect? I have even more disrespectful moves. Do you want to see?

 

The guard captain felt a tingling sensation all over. He looked in shock at Ji Fengyan’s faintly amused expression, a creeping fear took over his heart.
 

Insane.
 

Ji Fengyan was truly insane!
 


All right, I don’t wish to continue wasting my time with you guys.
Ji Fengyan grinned at the grim-looking Elders.
Let’s play a game, shall we? Let’s bet if you all can hold me in this palace to be executed, or if I can escape from here safe and sound. The stakes for this bet will be…

 

Ji Fengyan glanced at the pallid-faced Eldest Princess and pointed at her.
The life of the Eldest Princess.

 

Ji Fengyan’s words took everyone by surprise.
 

Fear bloomed upon the face of the Eldest Princess.
 


I heard that it was the Emperor who activated the Elders. Supposedly, the Elders consisted of 13 highly skilled practitioners. Apart from that guy just now, there should be twelve remaining men.
Ji Fengyan grinned. She was obviously smiling but somehow, her words made everyone feel a sense of foreboding.
 


I can fight the twelve of you. If any of you defeat me, I will succumb to whatever you want to do to me.
Ji Fengyan continued pleasantly.
 

But…
 

Her tone suddenly changed and she looked down at the sharp blade of her evil-vanquishing sword.
 


But, if you lose—I will chop an inch off the Eldest Princess’ arm for every single one of you whom I defeat. If I defeat all of you, I will chop off her head.

 

A slashing sound!
 

The evil-vanquishing sword in Ji Fengyan’s hands was suddenly pointed at the twelve mighty practitioners standing in her way.
 


How about it? I will give you all twelve chances to save Eldest Princess’ life.

 

Ji Fengyan’s statement had everyone in shock.
 

This was ridiculous!
 

She actually wanted to fight one-on-one with all the Elders in the Kingdom—all on her own!
 

One must know that the Elders of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon were amongst the most powerful practitioners in the nation. Few others in the entire Kingdom could go toe-to-toe with them.
 

Ji Fengyan’s bet—Master Yue and company had no choice but to accept!
 

Firstly, it was for the Eldest Princess’s life.
 

Secondly…
 

It was for their pride.
 

If all twelve of them faced Ji Fengyan in turn, and were still unable to handle that teenage girl—then they could never face the world again in this life.
 

The twelve elders looked at each other. Ji Fengyan’s words had forced them to the point of no return.
 

Even if they didn’t want to fight.
 

They had to!
 

Master Yue took a deep breath and looked at the infuriating, crazy young girl.
Ji Fengyan, will you keep your word?

 

Ji Fengyan gave a wan smile.
Of course.

 

Master Yue nodded. After a short discussion with the other Elders, he said,
All right, we agree to your bet.
