With the death of the Fifth Prince, the entire Monarch Pavilion fell into a strange silence. The people who were fighting fiercely just now all stood still with their eyes wide open.
The three battalions stopped fighting, and so did the people of Heavenly Stellar Residence. Even Zhang Qi and Sikong Ming were shocked when they saw Xiao Chen, who was holding the Red Edge Sword and covered in blood.
The people of Heavenly Stellar Residence had no idea what had happened to Xiao Chen. So when they saw Xiao Chen kill the Fifth Prince with a single strike, they were unable to react for a while. After a long while, Zhang Qi took a deep breath and whispered, "Something big has happened."
Killing a prince was definitely a big deal.
Unlike the others, Xiao Chen was not as shocked as the others. After killing the Fifth Prince, he slowly withdrew his killing intent and looked calmly at the three super experts in the Dao Master Realm in the sky.
After a long time, the people slowly came back to their senses. At this time, the three experts from the Imperial Family who had rushed over quickly landed in front of Xiao Chen. They first glanced at the Fifth Prince, whose head had been separated from his body, and then looked at Xiao Chen. They said coldly.
"Xiao Chen, how dare you!"
There was no need to ask for a reason to kill a prince. They could directly kill Xiao Chen. Just as the three experts from the Imperial Family shouted coldly and angrily, Zhang Qi and Sikong Ming also led a group of Heavenly Stellar Residence warriors to Xiao Chen's side, in case the three experts from the Imperial Family suddenly attacked Xiao Chen.
Although Xiao Chen had killed the Fifth Prince, the people of Heavenly Stellar Residence did not care about the laws of the Moonless Empire. They only had one thought in their minds, and that was to protect Xiao Chen no matter what. At worst, they would completely fall out with the Imperial Family.
Faced with the actions of the Heavenly Stellar Residence cultivator, the coldness in the eyes of the three Imperial Family experts grew even more intense. One of them even shouted coldly, "What? Is your Heavenly Stellar Residence planning to rebel?"
In the face of this person's cold yell, no one responded. However, Zhang Qi and Sikong Ming stepped forward and shielded Xiao Chen behind them. Their meaning was self-evident. In their eyes, only Xiao Chen existed. If the royal family dared to make a move on Xiao Chen today, there was only one way to go.
The three experts of the Imperial Family burned with rage as they watched the actions of Zhang Qi and Li Qiye. They knew that once they attacked, they would definitely become enemies with the Heavensday Pavilion. With the strength of the Imperial Family, they naturally didn't fear the members of the Heavensday Pavilion, and the only one they truly feared was the Heaven Scorching Ruler. After all, he was a great figure at the Dao Emperor Realm.
For a moment, they were at a loss of what to do. Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Xiao Chen walked out from behind Zhang Qi and spoke to the three powerhouses of the royal family.
"Can all of you make a decision on this matter?"
He spoke in an incomprehensible manner. The three of them didn't reply when they heard this because Xiao Chen still had more to say. Sure enough, after pausing for a moment, Xiao Chen continued.
"It's pardonable that I killed the Fifth Prince, but all of you clearly can't make a decision on this matter. So, I think all of you should allow His Majesty to make a decision himself."
The meaning behind Xiao Chen's words was very clear. He'd killed the Fifth Prince, so logically speaking, the three of them could directly kill him. However, due to Xiao Chen's identity, the three of them didn't dare to do so because there was a great figure at the Dao Emperor Realm standing behind Xiao Chen. In this way, it was best to allow Chu Mu to make a decision on this matter himself.
When they heard Xiao Chen, the three powerhouses of the royal family exchanged glances, and then one of them spoke. "You're right. However, you have to come with us tonight. We must imprison you in the Celestial prison before His Majesty makes a decision."
They gave up on the idea of killing Xiao Chen on the spot. Because not to mention whether they could succeed or not, offending a great figure at the Dao Emperor Realm was an extremely terrifying matter indeed. So, it was better to directly toss this hot potato to His Majesty to make a decision himself.
When they heard that they intended to imprison Xiao Chen in the Celestial prison, Zhang Qi and Sikong Ming instantly emanated a strand of faint killing intent. Obviously, even then, the two of them didn't agree. After all, who knew if these fellows would annihilate Xiao Chen in the Celestial prison?
Xiao Chen's safety was absolutely their number one priority. However, Xiao Chen shot Zhang Qi and Sikong Ming a gaze that told them not to worry.
He'd really killed the Fifth Prince out of rage because the Fifth Prince had actually dared to defile Xiao Chen. This was something that Xiao Chen couldn't tolerate. However, even though he was furious, Xiao Chen actually had a plan in his heart when he killed the Fifth Prince. He seemed to be furious, but he wasn't a rash person, and he could be said to be meticulous even though he was crude.
After all, this plan wouldn't just be able to help him escape, it would even be able to help Chu Wuming ascend to the position of Crown Prince.
To be honest, if Chu Wuming hadn't appeared from the beginning to the end, Xiao Chen would definitely have killed his way out of the Wuyue Empire with the people of the Tianchen Residence. However, there was no need for that now. Chu Wuming's actions had already gained Xiao Chen's approval. Therefore, Xiao Chen's thoughts had also changed.
Originally, he planned to use Chu Wuming to gain a foothold in the Wuyue Empire. Xiao Chen didn't really care whether Chu Wuming could really ascend to the position of Crown Prince. Because of this, although Xiao Chen had helped Chu Wuming a lot, it didn't actually have any substantial effect. Moreover, to be honest, Xiao Chen didn't spend too much effort on Chu Wuming. There was only one reason for this. Chu Wuming hadn't gained Xiao Chen's approval. Therefore, Xiao Chen couldn't really help Chu Wuming.
However, it was different now. Although Chu Wuming's actions tonight were hesitant in the beginning, it was precisely because of this hesitation that his true feelings could be seen. Even though he knew that it wouldn't bring him any benefits, Chu Wuming still chose to take action in the end. He even didn't hesitate to mobilize the Battling Dragon Camp.
It was precisely because of Chu Wuming's actions that Xiao Chen wanted to help Chu Wuming ascend to the position of Crown Prince from the bottom of his heart.
No one knew that Xiao Chen already had a plan at this moment. Xiao Chen signaled Zhang Qi and Xiao Chen with his eyes, indicating for them to calm down. Then, Xiao Chen said to the three experts from the Imperial Family, "Alright, but I still have two more words to say."
After speaking, without waiting for the three experts' agreement, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen walked towards Xiao Chen.
Seeing Xiao Chen walking towards her, Xiao Chen immediately rushed into Xiao Chen's arms. She immediately rushed into Xiao Chen's arms with a worried look on her face. In response, Xiao Chen comforted her gently, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You should go back to Tianchen Residence with the others first."
He signaled to Xiao Chen. Don't worry, but Xiao Chen wasn't worried at all. How could he not be worried? After killing the Fifth Prince, he was locked up in the imperial prison. This was clearly a desperate situation.
He didn't say anything to Xiao Chen. There was no need to explain further, just to make her obedient. After a while, he handed Xiao Chen over to Zhang Qi and whispered a few words to her. Finally, Xiao Chen's gaze shifted to Chu Wuming. Obviously, Chu Wuming had something to say to Xiao Chen.
