"Fifth Prince?"
When the Emperor heard Duan Lingtian's words, his breathing became hurried. After a long time, he took a deep breath, and a trace of gloominess flashed through his eyes.
Duan Lingtian looked at the Emperor, and he could clearly feel the rage in the Emperor's heart …
He could understand the Emperor's current feelings.
"Commander Duan!"
The Emperor opened his mouth, and his voice was ice-cold, revealing a bone-piercing chill.
"Your Majesty."
Duan Lingtian replied.
"Now, bring your Embroidered Uniform Guards and capture that unfilial son … We will immediately summon the Prime Minister and the Divine Might Marquis to enter the palace. We will execute that unfilial son in the throne room as a warning to others! "
The Emperor's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, incomparably gloomy and cold.
He was completely enraged!
Duan Lingtian sucked in a breath of cold air. It was said that the monarch was heartless, and he had thoroughly experienced it today.
However, when he thought of the Fifth Prince's actions, Duan Lingtian felt at ease.
The Fifth Prince only had himself to blame!
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian received the order and left the palace with Xiong Quan. He gathered the twelve Embroidered Uniform Guards under him, and the group headed directly to the Fifth Prince's residence.
When the guards at the entrance of the Fifth Prince's residence saw Duan Lingtian bring people over, their expressions changed.
"Commander Duan!"
They recognized the Embroidered Uniform Guards' flying fish robes and respectfully bowed to Duan Lingtian, not daring to obstruct him.
Duan Lingtian ignored these guards and brought Xiong Quan and the twelve Embroidered Uniform Guards, directly charging into the Fifth Prince's residence.
"Duan Lingtian, you're presumptuous!"
Soon, the Fifth Prince came out, and behind him followed an old man with white eyebrows.
"Presumptuous?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze focused as he looked at the Fifth Prince and said indifferently, "Fifth Prince, I'm here on His Majesty's orders to 'invite' you into the palace! So, I hope that the Fifth Prince will cooperate. "
"Hmph! If Imperial Father wanted to summon me, why would he send you here? Duan Lingtian, what are you trying to do? "
The Fifth Prince's face darkened. Clearly, he did not believe Duan Lingtian's words.
"Fifth Prince, if you don't cooperate, don't blame me for using force … Men, invite the Fifth Prince in!"
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he suddenly issued an order, his voice like a clap of thunder.
Immediately, except for Xiong Quan, Elder Hong, and Elder Qin, who were standing behind Duan Lingtian, the other ten Embroidered Uniform Guards stepped forward to capture the Fifth Prince.
"How dare you!"
The face of the white-browed old man behind the Fifth Prince sank. With a roar, he took a step forward and shielded the Fifth Prince behind him.
"If anyone tries to stop us, kill them!"
Duan Lingtian continued to order, his voice cold.
Instantly, the 10 Embroidered Uniform Guards made a move. The Embroidered Spring Sabers whistled out with piercingly cold lights, and they seemed to have transformed into numerous venomous snakes that bit towards the old man.
The old man's figure shook as 1,200 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above him …
Ninth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist!
However, even if he was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, under the tacit cooperation of 10 seventh and eighth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists, he didn't gain the slightest advantage. It was even to the extent that he was slightly in a sorry state under the envelopment of the saber net formed by the Embroidered Spring Sabers.
Right at this moment, a wave of whistling sounded out.
It was precisely the Fifth Prince who blew it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Instantly, numerous figures that were exceedingly swift flashed over from all directions.
These people were led by an old man.
This old man wore azure clothes, and his movements carried along a shocking aura. His cultivation was extraordinary.
Behind the old man, another five old men followed closely behind, and there was also a group of middle-aged men with cold expressions following closely behind.
These middle-aged men were precisely the Death Warriors fostered by the Fifth Prince, Death Warriors that lived only for the sake of slaughter.
The old man in the lead dashed out, and 1,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form above him …
Half-step Void Stage expert!
"Elder Pu, I want that Duan Lingtian dead!"
The Fifth Prince's gaze lit up when he saw this old man, and he abruptly gave the order, as if he was filled with confidence towards this old man.
"Don't worry your highness, not a single one of them will survive."
The voice of the old man in the lead spread out in the air, and his entire body seemed to have transformed into a roc that enveloped towards Duan Lingtian.
"Xiong Quan, kill him!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was calm and his expression carefree when faced with this Half-step Void Stage expert flashing over.
"Yes, Young Master."
Xiong Quan's figure flashed out when he heard this.
Swish!
Accompanied by an awe-inspiring sound of the wind, the clear howl of the sword stopped abruptly.
Instantly, a dazzling pillar of blood blossomed out from the throat of the old man that was approaching menacingly, and he was still halfway to Duan Lingtian when he lowered his head and fell to the ground, fiercely being thrown out by inertia, and he completely lost all signs of life.
Dead!
Besides Elder Hong and Elder Qin who rode beside Duan Lingtian, no one present was able to clearly see Xiong Quan's movements.
In their eyes, Xiong Quan had always been sitting on the horse and had never moved.
"Void Prying Stage!"
Elder Hong and Elder Qin's hearts trembled. They never imagined that the middle-aged man that had been following beside the Commander recently was actually a Void Prying Stage expert.
Moreover, he seemed to not be as simple as a first level Void Prying Stage expert.
They only felt their scalps go numb.
"No!"
The Fifth Prince's pupils constricted when he saw this scene, and he wasn't willing to believe that everything before his eyes was real.
His greatest reliance, an existence at the Half-step Void Stage, had died just like this?
The other five old men that were following behind the Half-step Void Stage old man had now stopped moving, and they were all dumbstruck from fright.
The white-browed old man's figure flashed out to avoid the joint attack of the group of Embroidered Uniform Guards, and he stood in the distance and was stunned for a moment.
Only those Death Warriors pounced forward one after another.
But they all died under the Embroidered Spring Sabers of the 10 Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Not long after, the front courtyard of the Fifth Prince's estate flowed with blood …
There wasn't a single Death Warrior left standing.
"Fifth Prince, I hope you can cooperate."
Duan Lingtian's icy cold gaze swept past the white-browed old man and the other five old men that were dumbstruck before finally descending onto the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince was slightly dazed, and he only recovered from his shock when the 10 Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounded him.
"Duan Lingtian, you're dead!"
The Fifth Prince looked at Duan Lingtian, and his voice was filled with icy coldness.
"Fifth Prince, I've said it before. I'm under the orders of his Majesty to invite you into the palace."
Duan Lingtian continued. As for the Fifth Prince's threat, he didn't take it to heart ….
"His Majesty? Did that old fellow notice something? "
A trace of viciousness flashed within the Fifth Prince's eyes as he asked in a low voice.
"Old fellow?"
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at the Fifth Prince. Looks like the Fifth Prince didn't respect the Emperor in the slightest, and actually called him 'old fellow.'
"Take him away!"
Duan Lingtian turned his horse around and left the Fifth Prince's estate.
He didn't notice that when the Fifth Prince was thrown onto the back of a horse by an Embroidered Uniform Guard, he gave the white-browed old man a look.
The white-browed old man nodded with a serious expression.
After Duan Lingtian took the Fifth Prince away, the white-browed old man left the Fifth Prince's estate at the first possible moment and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
In terms of speed.
It was far faster than Duan Lingtian's group that was traveling on horseback.
Duan Lingtian's group brought the Fifth Prince into the Imperial Palace. When they arrived at the throne room, they noticed that besides the Emperor, there were many other people present.
Besides the Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan and Prime Minister Gu You Ting, the Senior Marquis of the Divine Might Marquis Estate had also come. He was currently sitting at the side, obviously having been given a seat by the Emperor.
Duan Lingtian led Xiong Quan and the 12 Embroidered Uniform Guards into the throne room.
"Imperial Father!"
When the Fifth Prince saw the Emperor, it was as if he had seen his savior as he knelt on the ground. "This Duan Lingtian is audacious and presumptuous. He actually dared to barge into your son's estate and even killed my men … Imperial Father, you have to uphold justice for your son!"
"It was I who asked Commander Duan to capture you. Why? Do you have any objections?"
The Emperor's gaze was slightly cold as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Imperial Father, I wonder what wrong I've done?"
The Fifth Prince looked at the Emperor and asked.
"You know very well what you've done. Don't tell me you want me to tell you personally?"
The Emperor's face sank, and his eyes revealed a trace of gloominess.
"Imperial Father, you must not listen to the slanderous words of a villain. This Duan Lingtian has a personal grudge with your son. He's framing your son!"
The Fifth Prince hurriedly said.
"Framing?"
The Emperor sneered. "Do you really think I'm an incapable ruler? I originally suspected you as well, but after thinking about it, you're my son after all, so I convinced myself not to suspect you anymore. Who knew that the truth would be revealed today. It really was you! My good son! “
"Imperial Father, I don't know what you're talking about."
The Fifth Prince pretended to be confused.
Just when the Emperor's face sank and was about to angrily rebuke the Fifth Prince.
"Xun."
A calm voice sounded out from outside the throne room.
In next to no time, a white clothed middle aged man slowly walked in. His speed seemed to be slow, but in the blink of an eye, he'd already arrived within the audience hall.
At this moment, another person followed in from behind.
It was precisely the white browed old man from the Fifth Prince's estate.
"Your majesty, Mortal Emperor."
For a moment, Nie Yuan and Gu You Ting looked at the person that arrived and lightly bowed.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
Mortal Emperor?
He's Mortal Emperor Chu? The formidable Void Stage expert of the Imperial Family?
"Fourth Imperial Brother?"
The Emperor saw Mortal Emperor Chu arrive, and the furious expression on his face eased up slightly. "Why have you come?"
"Imperial Brother, I heard you want to punish Xun?"
Mortal Emperor Chu looked at the Emperor, and a murderous intent flashed within his calm eyes.
But it was still caught by Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's heart jerked, and he suddenly felt that the arrival of this Mortal Emperor Chu was probably not so simple.
"Fourth Imperial Brother, there's something you don't know, but this unfilial son actually dared to poison me, his father! Tell me, should such an unfilial son be killed? "
The Emperor took a deep breath, and his tone was hurried and incomparably agitated.
"Unfilial son?"
Mortal Emperor Chu's dignified tiger brows raised as he indifferently said, "Then what if he isn't your son?"
"Fourth Imperial Brother, what do you mean by this?"
The Emperor's face slightly went grim, and his fierce gaze descended onto Mortal Emperor Chu.
"Xun, tell him."
Mortal Emperor Chu calmly looked at the Emperor as he indifferently spoke.
Meanwhile, the Fifth Prince, Chu Xun, directly stood up and respectfully bowed to Mortal Emperor Chu. "Yes, Imperial Father!"
Silence.
Following Chu Xun's words, the scene went deathly silent.
The Fifth Prince addressed Mortal Emperor Chu as Imperial Father?
This …
