It was Ye Xuan's first time using sword intent, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful that it could kill a Supreme-Being expert. Perhaps it was because the First Prince had just made a breakthrough and hadn't fully condensed the Sovereign Golden Body yet.
Now, he was in for a tragedy because the Sunflame Imperial Family wouldn't let him go.
Plop!
The Soaring Dragon Pillar fell. When the loud sound reached Ye Xuan's ears, the entrance of a secret realm suddenly appeared in front of him. Immediately, several figures rushed out.
One of the figures was the Sunflame Emperor. He looked at the First Prince's corpse and said in shock, "How could the Sovereign Golden Body be broken?"
After saying that, he suddenly turned to Ye Xuan and asked, "You comprehended sword intent?"
The First Prince had already made a breakthrough. Although he hadn't fully condensed the Sovereign Golden Body, it wasn't something a Half-Step Supreme-Being could hurt.
If one wanted to hurt the Sovereign Golden Body, only sword intent could do so!
"This …"
Ye Xuan's heart trembled when he saw the Sunflame Emperor's murderous gaze. He knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only nod and say, "This is the incomplete sword intent that I suddenly comprehended when I was facing death."
After hearing Ye Xuan admit it, the Sunflame Emperor and the surrounding people were shocked.
Sword intent!
It was actually sword intent!
One had to know that even the Sunflame Emperor, a Supreme-Being expert, had yet to comprehend sword intent.
"Emperor, the First Prince's corpse has mutated!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly pointed at the First Prince's corpse and said.
"Hmm?"
After being reminded, the Emperor shifted his gaze from Ye Xuan to the First Prince's corpse. He discovered that the lower half of the First Prince's corpse had a patterned tail. Not only that, but even his face had undergone a huge change.
"Alien race! The First Highness is actually an alien race! That's the Snake Demon Clan!"
The middle-aged man exclaimed in shock.
When the Emperor heard that, he was slightly shocked. He carefully sized up the First Prince. Indeed, the First Prince wasn't human. There were other patterns on his face. That was his original form.
The Demonic Snake Clan of the First Race had the ability to disguise themselves. He had directly transformed into the First Prince's appearance and infiltrated the Imperial Family. Even Supreme-Being experts didn't notice him.
"My son is already dead?"
The Rimflame Emperor immediately realized that the dead Crown Prince was not a human. He was a Snake Demon disguised as his eldest son.
He hurried over and put away the First Prince's Interspatial Ring. After checking it, his expression suddenly changed.
"I'm afraid this alien race has been here for more than ten years." The Sun Flame Emperor gritted his teeth.
He found some clues among the experts of the Demonic Snake Clan who had disguised themselves as the First Prince. The entire Imperial Court had probably been infiltrated by the Demonic Snake Clan who knew how to disguise themselves. However, there was no list of names in the Interspatial Ring.
Ye Xuan was also trembling with fear. He had heard of the Mutated Tribes before, but this was the first time he had seen one.
In this world, other than humans, there were many other races, such as the Demon Race, the Sea Race, the Beast Race, and so on. To humans, these Demon Races, the Sea Race, and the Beast Race were all alien races.
The Beast Race was a race between the Human Race and the Demon Race. Their ancestors were actually humans, but some humans chose to mate with beasts, giving birth to the Beast Race.
The Demonic Snake Clan was the Beast Race, which was the Mutated Tribe that the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor was talking about. It was a race that was born from the crossbreeding of humans and Snake Saint Beasts.
Ye Xuan was also helpless. A human and a snake could actually mate. This was heaven-defying.
For a moment, the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor didn't know what to say.
Originally, Ye Xuan had killed the First Prince with his sword intent, so he definitely wanted to kill Ye Xuan. However, the First Prince wasn't the eldest son of the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty, but a member of the Demonic Snake Clan who had infiltrated the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty.
In that case, Ye Xuan was considered innocent.
"Your Majesty, now …"
Eunuch Wu, who was beside him, asked.
"I didn't expect the Mutated Tribes to infiltrate the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty so much. The First Prince is already dead, and he was disguised by the Demonic Snake Clan. Even I didn't notice."
The Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor was shocked. He continued, "Stop the Crown Prince Test for now. Capture all the members under the First Prince. No, capture everyone who participated in the Crown Prince Test. Don't let anyone escape!"
"Yes!"
Eunuch Wu answered.
Then, the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor looked at Ye Xuan and said, "You, what's your background?"
Hearing this question, Ye Xuan couldn't help but stiffen. He said, "I exchanged for the title of Marquis in the Sixth Heaven Prison, and then the Sixth Prince's people took a fancy to me …"
Ye Xuan made a long story short, but the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor didn't believe anyone. He said, "Although it's because of you that we saw through the Mutated Tribes, it doesn't prove anything."
At this time, Ye Xuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Your Majesty, the First Prince … uh, there's a middle-aged man in black next to him. He's the person I eliminated when I attacked the city. He's the vice leader of the Ghost Sect. Not only that, but the woman in black next to the Seventh Prince is the Saintess of the Ghost Sect."
Ye Xuan quickly took out a few Interspatial Rings, poured the evidence into them, and handed them over.
"I know about the Ghost Sect, and I also know that the First Prince is the leader of the Ghost Sect, but I didn't expect the Mutated Tribes to be behind this," the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor said with narrowed eyes.
The First Prince was the leader of the Ghost Sect, and it wasn't a big deal for such a person to become the Emperor. After all, every Emperor had to fight openly and secretly with their brothers before ascending to the throne, and many had died. When the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor ascended to the throne, he had also done some shady things.
However, the Demonic Snakes Tribe was a Mutated Tribe, and the First Prince had died long ago. Even if the throne fell into the hands of an outsider, it couldn't fall into the hands of an outsider.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's heart trembled again.
As expected, the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor knew about the Ghost Sect, and it seemed like he had silently agreed with the First Prince and the Seventh Prince's actions.
The Ghost Sect had a secret technique that allowed one to use a large number of Ghost Lanterns to forcibly raise one's cultivation. This required killing a large number of peak Kings and Half-Supremes.
However, the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor had also silently agreed to this.
If one wanted to ascend to the throne, how could one do it without some tricks?
"Gather everyone in the Sun Flame Palace!"
With that, the Sun Flame Sacred Dynasty's Emperor left the secret realm.
In the next moment, the scene in front of Ye Xuan changed. He left the secret realm, and the Sixth Prince was standing beside him.
"Ye Xuan, what's going on? Did we win?"
Asked the Sixth Prince, who still didn't understand what had happened.
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "I killed the First Prince by mistake. However, the First Prince isn't a human. He's from the Demonic Snakes Tribe. I'm afraid the real First Prince is already dead."
"What?"
The Sixth Prince trembled when he heard this.
When he heard that Ye Xuan had killed the First Prince by mistake, he was scared half to death. However, when he heard the rest of the story, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
"The Demonic Snakes Tribe? The First Prince is a Mutated Tribe?" Yang Qi asked in astonishment.
"Yes."
Ye Xuan nodded. That was why they had been teleported to the Sun Flame Palace. What they were going to do next was probably to be interrogated.
Soon, the sixteen princes were gathered together. Not only that, but all the members who had participated in the Crown Prince Trial were also called over.
