The Crown Prince was extremely domineering, and he had appeared at the perfect time, as if he had planned everything in advance. This was clearly a trap for Wu Jiu. The Crown Prince was a smart man, he knew what the Imperial Emperor was thinking. All he needed was an excuse to get rid of Wu Jiu.
Tearing the Imperial Decree with one's own hands was a serious crime. Even the Ninth Emperor would die a few times for this.
"Hmph! You dare arrest me? I'm going to see the Imperial Emperor! "
Wu Jiu didn't show any fear. He had never been afraid of anything in his life. He had promised Jiang Chen that he would protect the people around him, and if anything bad happened to Yan Chen Yu, he would be too ashamed to face Jiang Chen.
"You want to see father? Sure, but I'll tie you up and bring you to him! Men, arrest Wu Jiu!"
The Crown Prince shouted out loudly.
"Understood!"
Over twenty Golden Guards surrounded Wu Jiu in a circle. At the same time, the Seventh Emperor, Tenth Emperor, Shangguan Sheng, Tiangang Yi, and the Late Combat Soul warrior from the Myriad Sword Sect had also joined the battle, completely surrounding Wu Jiu.
"Bastard, how dare you attack me?!"
Wu Jiu was furious.
"Old Jiu, just surrender! You've torn the Imperial Decree with your own hands and disregarded the Imperial Emperor's face, this is a crime punishable by death! We're just following the Crown Prince's orders, we're going to bring you to the Imperial Emperor to confess."
The Seventh Emperor said. He couldn't help but sneer.
"What should we do now? This is getting serious! "
Guan Yiyun had a serious expression on his face, and so did the others. None of them had expected that the situation would develop so quickly, and that it had come to this.
"Can't you tell? That Imperial Decree was given to Lord Jiu. If the Imperial Emperor wanted to marry him, he could have just given a verbal order, there was no need for him to give an Imperial Decree. Jiang Chen is right, the Imperial Emperor can't accept Lord Jiu in his heart. Everything that happened today is a trap, and Lord Jiu is a man who values friendship, and he has a deep relationship with Jiang Chen; he will definitely fall into this trap. Sigh! "
Da Huang Dog let out a long sigh. Everything that happened today was unavoidable.
"What should we do now? Don't tell me we're just going to watch as Lord Jiu is taken away by them? "
Yu Zi Han clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. All of them couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If it wasn't for them, Wu Jiu wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Not only Lord Jiu, even we will be in danger! The Shangguan Clan, Myriad Sword Sect, and Wu Cong are obviously using the Crown Prince to kill us!"
Han Yan's face darkened. At this point in time, everything was clear. Last time, the Imperial Emperor had sent Jiang Chen to Mount Origin to mend the dimensional crack, but he didn't manage to kill Jiang Chen. Therefore, those enemies wouldn't let it go so easily. That was why the Imperial Emperor had lured the Crown Prince here.
"Haha, let me see who dares to touch me!"
Up in the sky, Wu Jiu, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a calm expression on his face. His energy was still as powerful as ever, and a frightening aura was being unleashed from his body. His cultivation had reached the peak Combat Soul realm, and he was just one step away from breaking through to the Combat King realm.
"Humph! I'll capture you myself! Wu Jiu, if you surrender now, I'll spare your life and wait for my father's punishment. If you dare resist, I'll kill you on the spot! "
The Crown Prince coldly harrumphed. A golden halberd appeared in his hand, and he looked extremely mighty. As the number one genius of the Martial Saint Dynasty, he wasn't afraid of Wu Jiu at all.
"Wait!"
A clear voice sounded out. After that, Yan Chen Yu arrived in the sky like a fairy in white.
"I agree to marry you, but the condition is that you release Lord Jiu."
Yan Chen Yu said.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Wu Jiu, Han Yan, and the others cried out in shock at the same time. They stared at Yan Chen Yu with shock in their eyes.
"No, I don't agree!"
Wu Jiu said with a stern voice. He knew that Yan Chen Yu was doing this to save him, but he could never let her return to her original form, which would be like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth. If that happened, even if he managed to save his own life, he wouldn't be able to see Jiang Chen again.
"Little Yu, come back! If worst comes to worst, I'll just fight them!"
Han Yan's body was filled with demonic energy. His white hair was fluttering in the wind, making him look like a demon king. He had no choice but to fight them. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he couldn't just give up.
"That's right! Who does that Crown Prince think he is? How dare he set his eyes on Little Yu?!"
Yu Zihan's eyes had turned red as well. Guan Yiyun and Tian Yishan were ready to fight as well. Jiang Chen had saved their lives, and now that Yan Chen Yu was in trouble, they couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
Da Huang Dog was the only one who remained calm. He knew Yan Chen Yu's feelings for Jiang Chen too well. He would rather believe that Yan Chen Yu would die than marry someone else other than Jiang Chen. Besides, Yan Chen Yu was no longer a young girl who had just started her cultivation. After experiencing life and death situations, she had gone through a tremendous transformation. She must have her own plan for coming out at this moment.
Up in the sky, when the Crown Prince heard that Yan Chen Yu had agreed to marry him, a look of extreme joy emerged on his face. Right now, the only thing he cared about was Yan Chen Yu's attitude towards him.
"Miss Yan, are you serious?"
The Crown Prince looked at Yan Chen Yu.
"That's right. I agree to marry you, and you promise to let the Ninth Emperor go."
Yan Chen Yu said.
"Bastard!"
Wu Jiu was completely enraged. He unleashed his energy and prepared to attack Shangguan Sheng, who was the closest to him.
"Stop!"
Yan Chen Yu shouted coldly, "Ninth Emperor, this is my own business. Who I marry has nothing to do with you."
Yan Chen Yu's words were extremely cold. After saying that, she immediately used her Divine Sense to communicate with Wu Jiu, Han Yan, and the others, "Ninth Emperor, Brother Yan, Da Huang, I'll leave with the Crown Prince. After I leave, you guys should find a way to escape from this place. Don't worry about me, I have my own ways to escape."
Just like what Da Huang had said, Yan Chen Yu was no longer the ignorant girl who had just started her cultivation. After following Jiang Chen for such a long time, she had learned how to remain calm.
Looking at the current situation, if she didn't stand out, Wu Jiu would be killed, and they would be killed as well. The Crown Prince had come prepared, and he wouldn't let any of them go. Furthermore, Wu Jiu had torn the Imperial Decree impulsively, giving the Crown Prince an excuse to deal with Wu Jiu. Therefore, Yan Chen Yu had no choice but to pretend that she had agreed to marry the Crown Prince, giving the others enough time to leave.
Hearing what Yan Chen Yu said, Wu Jiu finally calmed down from his furious state. Only now did he realize the consequences of his impulsive actions. He wasn't the only one who had implicated Jiang Chen, he had also implicated those brothers who Jiang Chen regarded as his own life.
In the end, Wu Jiu shook his head helplessly. He wouldn't leave the Martial Saint Dynasty, but he had to buy some time for Han Yan and the others.
"Alright, I promise you."
The Crown Prince kept his Golden Halberd and looked at Yan Chen Yu with a smile on his face. As long as he could marry Yan Chen Yu, he wouldn't pursue Wu Jiu for the time being. After all, Wu Jiu wouldn't be able to escape, and he would have plenty of chances to do so in the future.
"Crown Prince, Wu Jiu tore the Imperial Decree, this is a crime punishable by death."
The Seventh Emperor looked at the Crown Prince.
"Seventh Imperial Uncle, I'll report Wu Jiu's crime to my father. Today is my wedding day, so all of you can leave now."
The Crown Prince waved his hand, and the Golden Guards immediately retreated from the encirclement. As the commander of the Golden Guards, the Crown Prince was their direct superior. Therefore, they had to obey his orders unconditionally.
The Seventh Emperor and the others retreated as well. Although they weren't satisfied with the fact that they couldn't punish Wu Jiu today, they weren't idiots. They knew that they couldn't spoil the Crown Prince's mood. After all, Wu Jiu had already committed the crime of tearing the Imperial Decree, and he would be punished sooner or later.
"Miss Yan, now you can follow me to the Crown Prince's palace, right?"
The Crown Prince looked at Yan Chen Yu and revealed a smile that he thought was extremely gentle.
"En."
Yan Chen Yu nodded and walked to the Crown Prince's side. The Crown Prince reached out his arm and was about to put his arm around Yan Chen Yu's waist, but Yan Chen Yu sensed it and moved aside, "Your Highness, I've already promised to marry you. Before I marry you, please respect me."
"Alright, I was being too reckless."
The Crown Prince hurriedly smiled apologetically, but in his heart, he was cursing. However, he liked a conservative and pure woman like Yan Chen Yu the most. The harder it was to touch her, the more his heart itched.
"I'll let you be arrogant for a while. After all, there are only three days left. After you marry me, I'll definitely teach you a good lesson."
The Crown Prince thought to himself. He was already imagining how he would teach Yan Chen Yu a lesson.
"Let's go."
Yan Chen Yu said.
The Crown Prince hurriedly walked to Yan Chen Yu's side. The two of them flew up into the sky, followed by the Golden Guards.
Seeing this, Yan Chen Yu stopped and said with a frown, "I want to be alone with the Crown Prince. You can leave now."
Hearing this, the Golden Guards immediately looked at the Crown Prince. They had always listened to the Crown Prince's orders.
"Didn't you hear Miss Yan? The two of us want to be alone, why are you following us? "
The Crown Prince scolded the Golden Guards. The Golden Guards bowed to him, then they flew in another direction.
The Crown Prince didn't mind Yan Chen Yu's actions at all. Yan Chen Yu was just an Early Combat Soul girl, and even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to escape from his palm.
"Crown Prince, let's go."
After saying that, the two of them turned into two trails of light and disappeared from the scene.
Wu Jiu's face darkened as he looked at the two disappearing women. He turned to the Seventh Emperor and the others and shouted, "Get lost!"
"Hmph! Old Jiu, what are you being so arrogant for? Tearing the Imperial Decree with your own hands is a capital offense! Sooner or later, you'll be punished by the Imperial Emperor! "
The Seventh Emperor coldly harrumphed.
"Do you believe that I won't tear you apart with my own hands just like I did to the Imperial Decree?"
Wu Jiu said with a vicious tone. He was like a lion that was on the verge of going berserk, and could go berserk at any moment.
"Let's go."
