On the viewing tower, the Yan Emperor was furious. His killer's intent shot through the nine heavens.
This made everyone feel terrified, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
However, the Crown Prince acted like nothing happened. Though his face was pale, he was unfazed. Or in other words, he had been very calm since the beginning.
This made Ling Xian frown. He sensed something unusual.
"You dare to lie to me? How dare you!"
The emperor shouted, "From this moment on, you are no longer the Crown Prince of the Yan Dynasty. You are a commoner!"
At those words, all the officials who supported the Crown Prince had a change of expression. They kneeled down on the ground and began to speak.
"Your Majesty, you cannot! The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. How can you get rid of him so easily? "
"Even if you want to get rid of him, please, for the sake of blood ties, don't demote the Crown Prince to a commoner!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you cannot make a mistake because of a moment of impulse."
Many officials spoke up, begging the emperor to take back his order.
"All of you, shut up!"
The Ren Huang roared as his majestic gaze slowly swept across the crowd, "Do my words no longer work? He lied to me. This is a heinous crime. The fact that I did not kill him is already a sign of respect. Whoever dares to say another word, take off your official robe and accompany him to hell! "
At those words, the entire place silenced.
The officials who tried to persuade the emperor also stopped talking. They knew that the emperor had made up his mind.
"Hmmph!"
Snorting coldly, the Human Emperor shifted his gaze onto the Crown Prince and asked, "Regarding this, do you have any objections?" "Father has already given the order, even if I have any objections, it would be useless." The Crown Prince spoke indifferently, as if his heart had died and he didn't care about anything else.
"Very well, get the f * ck out of my sight!"
The emperor of the Yan Dynasty shouted. His energy rolled out in all directions like giant waves. At once, the space cracked and the Heaven and Earth cried!
The Crown Prince was also puking out blood. His face was white.
"You have all seen the result of this battle."
The emperor glanced around, "Since Lil 'Six has won, then he is the heir to the Yan Dynasty. After I abdicate, he will be the emperor!"
Yan Liusu did not smile when she heard that. Instead, she felt somewhat sorrowful.
He did not covet the throne. If it were not for the Crown Prince's bullying, he would not have fought for the throne.
The people present did not cheer. Most of them supported the crown prince. Even if they did not support the crown prince, they were not friends with Yan Liusu.
"Alright, this matter ends here. I am tired, all of you can leave." The Human Emperor waved his hand tiredly and turned to leave.
Seeing this, many people came before Yan Liusu to congratulate him on becoming the heir apparent.
Yan Liusu was not very interested in this, so she just brushed it off.
Everyone tactfully left, not wanting to disturb them any further.
After that, the crown prince came before Yan Liusu and said with a faint smile, "You've won this round. However, don't be too happy yet."
"Are you still unwilling to give up?" Yan Liusu frowned.
"I'm still alive. How can I give up?"
The Crown Prince teased and turned to leave. However, when he brushed past Ling Xian, he glared at him coldly.
Ling Xian faintly smiled at this and didn't mind.
He slowly walked towards Yan Liusu and smiled, "Congratulations. The next time we meet, I might have to call you the emperor."
"Even you are making fun of me."
Yan Liusu bitterly chuckled. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of appreciation, "Thank you. Without you, I would've died in the Hidden Territory. I wouldn't be where I am now."
Hearing this, Ling Xian waved his hand, gesturing for him to not take it to heart.
"You saved me a total of three times. The reason I am where I am today is all because of your plans."
Yan Liusu's eyes were full of gratitude, "Especially the plan to fight against the Crown Prince. Without this plan, I would not be the heir apparent. When that happens, I would have to leave my home and run for my life. "
"You are my friend. There is no need to be so polite."
Ling Xian softly smiled. Suddenly remembering the Crown Prince's strange behavior, his smile disappeared, "You have to be careful. I have a feeling that things won't end so easily."
"It doesn't matter. The Crown Prince has been demoted to a commoner by my father. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot do anything." Yan Liusu did not care.
"No, it won't be that simple."
Ling Xian shook his head and said in a serious tone, "From the beginning, the Crown Prince has been very calm. This is not normal. Though it is obvious that he already knew that fighting against you would reveal the fact that he does not have undefeatable abilities and that he predicted the emperor's anger, he has been far too calm. "
Pausing, he continued, "Then he is calm. He has some confidence that victory is within his grasp and some determination to give up his life."
"Confidence that victory is within his grasp? Give up his life? "
Yan Liusu was startled. He felt like water had entered his brain again. He had no idea what Ling Xian was talking about.
"All in all, be careful."
Ling Xian's expression was heavy, "I have a feeling that things won't end so easily."
Hearing this, Yan Liusu's expression turned serious.
Though he was confused, after interacting with Ling Xian these past few days, he trusted Ling Xian from the bottom of his heart.
Reality had proven that every single word Ling Xian said was correct. Following his instructions, Yan Liusu successfully obtained the position of Crown Prince.
Therefore, he trusted Ling Xian's words without a doubt.
"There is no need to be so nervous. Perhaps I am overthinking things. After all, the Crown Prince has no chance of making a comeback. To be able to keep his life is already extremely lucky." Ling Xian faintly smiled.
"This is what you deserve. You can't live."
Yan Liusu exclaimed. Then, he revealed a smile and said, "Let's go. Let's drink to our heart's content!"
"That's good. After getting drunk, it is time for me to leave the capital." Ling Xian grinned.
"You are leaving?" Yan Liusu was startled.
"You have already obtained the position of Crown Prince. There is nothing for me to do here. It is time for me to leave."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. He originally wanted to stay here for a few more days. But just as Yan Liusu and the Crown Prince were about to battle, he received a message from Gao Xin.
The content was only one sentence. There is something strange happening in the Sea of Demons. Return immediately.
This message told him he had to return to the Pavilion of Three Lives. After all, he was the leader of the Hidden Pavilion. No matter what, he cannot stay out of this.
Therefore, he decided to leave tomorrow and return to the Pavilion of Three Lives.
"Oh well, since you have made up your mind, then I will not force you to stay." Yan Liusu sighed, "It looks like we will have to drink to our heart's content today."
"Let's go. I will drink with you."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and returned to his palace with Yan Liusu. They began to drink and chat.
The two of them drank from afternoon until late at night. It wasn't until Yan Liusu was completely drunk that the drinking party stopped.
The next morning, Ling Xian quietly left the Prince's Palace without alerting anyone. Then, he headed towards the center of the city. He planned on using the portal to return to the Luo Yang Region.
However, just as he walked out of the palace, he heard a series of painful screams from the east gate that was only hundreds of meters away.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned. After a few leaps, he appeared above the east gate. Then, a horrifying scene unfolded before their eyes.
The city wall was covered in blood and broken limbs.
Outside the city, countless soldiers stood proudly. A black flag fluttered in the wind. On it were three golden characters.
Prince of Ping Nan.
