The Eldest Prince's pupils shrank and his expression darkened. "Insolent martial artist, this is a matter of the royal family. Why aren't you backing down? Otherwise, you won't be able to escape death in the vast Fenglin Empire! "
Although the Seventh Heaven of the Martial Path was strong, it was far from enough to fight against the Empire.
Xia Linxuan was also at the Seventh Sky of the Martial Path, but at this moment, he didn't dare to interfere. It was obvious that he was very afraid of the Empire.
The old man's wrinkled face twitched and he sneered, "I'm not from the Fenglin Empire. You're just a prince. What can you do to me?"
After saying this, he grabbed Su Yu with one hand and Xianer with the other, coldly glaring at Bai Qixiong.
"Still not going to scram?"
With just a glance, Bai Qixiong's face turned pale, his heart thumped, and he subconsciously stopped.
The Duke of Xianyu withdrew and bowed gratefully. "Thank you, Elder Qin, for helping me out."
This person was Old Qin!
Old Man Qin's aged eyes scanned the surroundings. The might of a Level Seven caused everyone's limbs to turn cold. No one dared to take even half a step forward!
"Duke, leave. The Fenglin Empire is no longer a place for you." Old Qin sighed desolately.
The Duke of Xianyu was grief-stricken. He had stayed in the Xianyu prefecture for decades, and it had long become his hometown.
Now, he was forced to leave the Empire and flee the country because of the treacherous people.
Filled with nostalgia, the Duke of Xianyu flew away and chased after Senior Qin, embarking on his journey of betrayal.
The Duke of Xianyu was about to leave with the old man.
The First Prince's face was filled with hostility. He gritted his teeth in pain and bellowed furiously, "Stay here!"
Pa —
The First Prince smashed a pendant hidden on his neck with a palm strike.
Buzz buzz buzz —
An extremely terrifying aura swept out in all directions.
A tall, fiery-red figure suddenly appeared behind him.
The silhouette was blurry, and it seemed to be formed by the condensation of True Qi. However, it exuded a terrifying pressure!
Old Qin's face suddenly became serious: "The eighth level of the Martial Path!! Not good! Let's go! "
That figure was an expert at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Martial Path. It was formed from True Qi and contained the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Martial Path's Fatal Blow!
Even Old Qin, who was at the Seventh Heaven, would perish instantly!
This item was the First Prince's final defensive treasure. It was extremely precious and could only be used once.
"You want to leave? Too late! Kill them! "The First Prince laughed maliciously, his killing intent rising.
Hu hu –
The fiery red figure moved, covering the sky and earth. A terrifying might that could exterminate countless creatures swept out in all directions!
The guests were all prostrating on the ground, unable to move. They were horrified to the extreme.
Old Man Qin's face turned serious, which was rare for him, and he quickly ran away.
However, how could he escape an attack from an Eighth Layer of Heaven?
Rumble —
A ten-feet-long flaming blade slashed out from the fiery red figure.
Chi-la —
The air burned, and a violent whimper erupted.
Air currents swirled wildly, and a fiery wind blew in all directions, causing people to feel suffocated!
Ah —
Elder Qin opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Before the flaming saber could even reach him, he had already suffered a heavy injury from the aftershock!
With a bitter smile, Old Qin knew that he was going to die here!
However, at this moment.
Shua –
A figure actually flew behind Old Qin and used his flesh body to block the terrifying flaming blades!
"Old Qin! Xian 'er and Yu' er, please take care of them! "
The Duke of Xianyu's eyes were filled with despair as he looked back.
There was only so much he could do.
"Royal Prince!" Old Man Qin's expression changed as he roared in shock!
"Leave quickly! As long as Xian 'er and Yu' er are alive, I have no regrets in this life! "The Duke of Xianyu let out a desolate laugh.
Old Man Qin could not bear to see this happen. He clenched his teeth and took the two children with him as he flew away.
Su Yu only had a sliver of consciousness. He looked at the Duke of Xianyu. In order to protect them, he had stayed behind to block the fatal blow. His heart was filled with unspeakable sorrow.
A heart-wrenching grief roared in his heart.
Why, why did this happen?
"Su Yu! Take care of Xian 'er for me, please … "The Duke of Xianyu held back his tears, leaving behind a benevolent yet desolate smile.
This smile was an eternal farewell!
The next moment, he was engulfed by the boundless flames …
This was the last scene that Su Yu saw. The Duke of Xianyu, whom he had treated like a father, had given up his life for him and Xian 'er!
"No!" Su Yu roared with all his might!
An unprecedented hatred reverberated in his heart!
That hatred seemed to want to explode his body, to destroy the heavens and earth, to destroy all shackles!
"First Prince!!!" Su Yu let out a deafening roar. Endless hatred and murderous intent lingered in the heavens, piercing through the clouds, "If I do not kill you, I, Su Yu, will never be human!!"
Bang —
The Duke of Xianyu blocked most of the flames, but there was still a remnant that spread, engulfing Old Man Qin's back.
Old Man Qin spat out a mouthful of blood, severely injured in an instant.
But he used the momentum to escape the duke's manor, quickly escaping the Xianyu prefecture with the two children.
Su Yu's oath reverberated in the sky above the duke's manor, unwilling to dissipate.
That hatred pierced through the heavens, burning the mountains, rivers, and earth, as if it wanted to bury the entire world!
Those who heard it were shocked, a chill running down their spines.
That oath was terrifyingly persistent!
The First Prince's heart thumped wildly, a sliver of unease quickly creeping into his heart.
As a prince, as someone with imperial power, it was rare for him to feel uneasy.
The auditorium was in a mess.
The fiery red figure gradually dissipated.
What was left was a ten-foot-long, frighteningly deep groove!
But in the deep groove lay a middle-aged man on the brink of death!
His right arm had turned to dust, dripping with fresh blood. His entire body was weak, on the brink of death.
It was the Duke of Xianyu, who was still alive!
Even Old Man Qin could not survive a blow, but the Duke of Xianyu had luckily survived!
"Third Brother! What do you mean? "The First Prince's eyes glowed fiercely, fiercely glaring at the Third Prince.
It was the Third Prince who had used his precious amulet to save the Duke of Xianyu at that critical moment.
Otherwise, the Duke of Xianyu would not have simply lost his right arm, but would have been burned to ashes.
The Third Prince was still smiling, his voice warm, "First Brother, we are here to escort the duke back to the imperial capital. If we were to kill him on the spot, how would we explain it to the world? Could it be that he would have the reputation of killing a royal prince without distinguishing right from wrong? If we caused the other dukes to feel uneasy, causing the empire to fall, how would you explain it to the world? "
"You!" The First Prince was furious, but he knew that the Third Prince's words were reasonable.
With an uncertain expression, the First Prince stared at the Third Prince, angrily shouting, "We will split into two groups, one group will escort the duke back to the imperial capital, the other group will pursue the Princess of Xianyu!"
The matter was settled.
The duke's right arm was crippled, becoming a cripple, and he was reduced to a prisoner.
The Xianyu prefecture was no more.
But the First Prince had suffered heavy losses!
The Second Prince had been killed!
His right eye was crippled, and his face was ruined!
Compared to getting rid of the Xianyu prefecture, the price that the First Prince had to pay was too high!
Furthermore, the vow that the Duke of Xianyu's son-in-law had made before he escaped became a thorn in the First Prince's heart, making him feel uneasy.
If he could do it all over again, the First Prince would never want to attack the Xianyu prefecture. The price was too high!
The people of the royal family retreated. Before the Third Prince left the duke's manor, he lightly sighed, "A loyal duke should not end up like this. I can only help you this much."
As the guests retreated, Duke Qin and many other nobles followed the First Prince.
They were the First Prince's supporters, and on this trip back to the imperial capital, they would naturally travel with the First Prince.
Along the way, the First Prince summoned Duke Qin.
"I heard that your son had a conflict with Su Yu?" The right side of the First Prince's face was wrapped in bandages, and the piercing pain caused his tone to be cold.
Su Yu had shocked the world with a single brilliant feat, and he naturally wanted to find out more about Su Yu. It was not difficult for him to obtain such insider information.
Duke Qin did not dare hide the truth, "For a woman."
Thinking about this, Duke Qin was filled with remorse. He had known that Su Yu had hidden his abilities so well, and that he was so terrifying. He was a prodigy of souls, and a Holy Decree comprehender.
No matter what, he would have stopped his son from fighting over a woman with him!
But now, it was too late for regrets.
"Then, the important task of getting rid of Su Yu will be handed to you!" The First Prince said hatefully.
Duke Qin's body trembled, his face pale, "First Prince, please have mercy! Su Yu is a bearer of the Holy Seal. Once it is discovered that the Qin Manor has acted against him, the entire Qin Clan will be executed! "
How could Duke Qin not understand that the First Prince was worried that he would be punished by the Holy King if he acted against Su Yu? Hence, he had asked the Qin Family to act on his behalf. In the future, when the matter was exposed, the Qin Family would be the scapegoat, and it would have nothing to do with the First Prince.
The First Prince coldly grunted, "Do you think that Su Yu will let you off in the future? I do not believe that Su Yu will forget about the hatred of killing his father and stealing his wife! If you do not get rid of him while he is still young, your Qin Family will be exterminated in the future! "
Duke Qin was silent for a moment, and his eyes gradually became stern. How could he not understand this logic?
"The only thing we can do now is to assassinate him! Your Qin Manor has nurtured many experts, and it is time to give them an important task. If this matter is successful, when the First Prince ascends to the throne, it will be your credit! "Having seen Su Yu's terrifying talents, the First Prince was extremely afraid of Su Yu.
"I understand!" Duke Qin's heart was cold, and he gradually made up his mind.
After a pause, Duke Qin said, "Then, what should we do with that woman, Su Yu? Should we kill her, or … "
The First Prince waved his hands, "No need, take good care of her. She might come in handy in the future."
Duke Qin understood that he would not kill her, nor would he touch her.
He sighed in his heart. His son and Jiang Xueqing's engagement ceremony would have to be delayed. At least before Su Yu died, he could not touch her.
…
In the depths of the dense forest of the Twilight Mountains.
Senior Qin's face was pale, and he put down the two children.
Xianer had suffered a huge blow, and had long since fainted.
Su Yu's body had been tempered by the Jade Fire Marrow, and was different from a normal person's.
Furthermore, the healing effects of the Holy Order had healed his serious injuries, and the bloody hole in his abdomen had stopped bleeding.
"The effects of the Holy Order are not bad, but your body is even more remarkable. You actually recovered from your serious injuries." Senior Qin was surprised.
Su Yu's eyes were dull, and he did not want to say anything. The scene of the Duke of Xianyu's death lingered in his mind.
"Sigh …" Feeling Su Yu's sorrow, Senior Qin sighed, "Rest here for a while. I will look for some herbs to heal your injuries. This place is very safe, and no demonic beasts will attack."
After Senior Qin left, the cave was silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Xianer woke up from her coma.
"No! Father!! "Once she woke up, her mind was filled with the scene of the Duke of Xianyu's death, and her pathetic screams.
Her once joyous laughter, her innocent and lively voice, was heartbreaking.
