Chu Mu directly stripped Chu Wuming of all his authority and even wanted to put him under house arrest in the palace. Hearing Chu Mu's words, the smile on Chu Wuming's face became even more helpless. At the same time, a cold intent rose from Chu Wuming's body.
As expected, the ideal crown prince in his father's heart was still Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang. If he hadn't met Xiao Chen, perhaps Chu Wuming would have already risen. But now, it was clearly impossible.
Helplessly laughing bitterly, Chu Wuming's eyes immediately shot out two intense rays of burning light. In his heart, he roared, "Since you won't give it to me, I'll snatch it myself."
He could see that Chu Mu would not give the crown prince position to him. The crown prince of the Moonless Empire could only be chosen from Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang. Since that was the case, Chu Wuming no longer had any reservations in his heart. Since that was the case, he would snatch it himself.
Sensing the change in the aura on Chu Wuming's body, Chu Wuque's expression changed slightly. A trace of doubt flashed through his eyes. Today's matter was already set, but Chu Wuming did not have the slightest bit of fear. This was a bit strange.
Like Chu Wuque, Chu Wushuang also felt the change in Chu Wuming. However, his shrewdness was clearly not as deep as Chu Wuque's, so he immediately laughed coldly.
"Third brother, are you refusing to accept father's decision? Could it be that you really want to rebel? "
The coldness emitted from Chu Wuming's body was extremely cold. Everyone present could feel it. Hearing Chu Wushuang's words, Chu Wuming smiled. His smile was very cold, and his tone was extremely indifferent.
"I've already left the imperial capital, but you still have no intention of letting me go. My two good brothers, I think that even if I'm willing to give up today, you still won't let me go in the future, right?"
He was very clear that even if he handed over all his authority and was even placed under house arrest in the palace, Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang would still not let him off. In the future, the two of them would definitely think of other ways to eliminate him.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Mu, who was sitting on the throne, coldly shouted. "Enough, Chu Wuming, step down."
Chu Wuming's words clearly made Chu Mu hesitate. Hearing this, Chu Wuming didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. He retracted his gaze from Chu Wushuang and Chu Wuque and looked straight at Chu Wuming on the throne. At this moment, Chu Wuming calmed down and said indifferently.
"Imperial Father, don't you find it strange? The Blood Moon Guards have already headed to Hulao Pass for a few days, but there is no news. Does Father not have any thoughts? "
Since things had already come to this, there was naturally no need to hide anymore. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Mu was first stunned, but his expression quickly changed. At the same time, many of the ministers present and some of the more quick-witted people also quickly guessed something.
An intense chill flickered in Chu Mu's eyes as he glared at Chu Wuming and shouted. "Is what Wuque and Wushuang said true? Do you really want to rebel? "
Chu Wuming's words made Chu Mu realize the problem very quickly. At the same time, a terrifying guess appeared in his heart. The Blood Moon Guards had already been eliminated by Chu Wuming, and the four great armies of Hulao Pass had already submitted to Chu Wuming.
At the start, everyone thought that Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang were framing Chu Wuming. However, everyone quickly realized that perhaps it wasn't the case. Perhaps what the two of them said was true?
The way they looked at Chu Wuming had completely changed. If everything was true, then the result was self-evident.
Facing everyone's gazes and facing Chu Mu's questioning, Chu Wuming didn't answer. Instead, he softly muttered to himself. "It should be about time."
No one knew what Chu Wuming's words meant. However, just as Chu Wuming's words left his mouth, an Imperial Guard leader covered in blood ran in. He didn't care about etiquette and loudly shouted in fear.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, it's bad. The Mountain Guarding Army of Hulao Pass has rebelled …"
Hearing those words, Chu Mu, who was sitting on the throne, only felt an explosion. It was as if a clap of thunder had exploded in his brain. His entire person was instantly stunned.
It's really rebelling. He stared blankly at Chu Wuming below. Chu Mu didn't expect that Chu Wuming would actually dare to rebel.
Not only Chu Mu, but Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang were also in disbelief. The two of them originally wanted to frame Chu Wuming, but who knew that they were right. Chu Wuming had really rebelled.
Everyone in Wuhe Palace stared at Chu Wuming in disbelief. After a long while, Chu Mu angrily shouted. "Unfilial son, you actually dare to rebel. You …"
Chu Mu angrily shouted. Perhaps it was due to his anger, but before he could finish his sentence, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Upon seeing this, many of the advanced mastery stage experts anxiously shouted.
"Your Majesty …"
The development of the situation exceeded everyone's expectations. Chu Mu held his chest with one hand and casually waved his other hand to indicate that he was fine. Then, he took a deep breath and looked at the imperial guard leader.
"What's the situation at the border?"
Facing Chu Mu's question, the imperial guard leader replied with a solemn expression. "Two hours ago, the Mountain Suppression Army suddenly entered the Imperial Capital through the teleportation formation. Then, they took over the main roads and city gates in a flash. Right now, the entire Imperial Capital is under the Mountain Suppression Army's control. Only … only the Imperial Palace is still defending. However, because we weren't prepared, we were caught off guard by the Mountain Suppression Army. Now, the Imperial Palace is about to fall."
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Only two hours had passed since the Mountain Subduing Army arrived at the Imperial Capital. In these two hours, the defenseless Imperial Capital was taken down by the Mountain Subduing Army almost instantly.
It couldn't be helped. The Mountainguard Army had been prepared since the beginning, and they were planning against the enemy. Coupled with the fact that there were over 100 generals of the four armies, four Dao Emperor Realm experts, and the assistance of the experts of Heavenly Stellar Residence amongst the 500,000 strong Mountainguard Army. So, the garrison of the Imperial Capital was utterly unable to resist them.
Right now, the entire Imperial Capital was under the Mountain Suppression Army's control. Only the imperial guards in the Imperial Palace were still resisting with all their might. However, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Hearing the commander's words, Chu Mu's face turned ashen. As the Emperor, he naturally wasn't stupid. He already knew that there was no turning back. He looked at Chu Wuming as if he wanted to see through him. Chu Mu didn't expect that the Third Prince, who was looked down upon, would be able to do all this.
Compared to Chu Mu's calmness, Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang were completely panicking. They knew that once Chu Wuming succeeded in seizing power, the first to die would be them. Just like how they wanted to kill Chu Wuming, Chu Wuming wouldn't let them live either.
