Back at Seventh Prince's Residence!On the grand bed at the center of the chamber, Yu Longxuan's eyes snapped open.
A sharp breath escaped him.
For a moment, confusion flickered between his eyes.
???
Then the memories came rushing back to his mind.
His expression twisted instantly.
"Nie Fengzhuo!"
His voice was hoarse, but the hatred within it was unmistakable.
BOOM!
A surge of Qi erupted from his body, cracking the bed beneath him.
The attendants nearby paled and immediately retreated, not daring to stay any longer.
Humiliation!
He, the Seventh Prince of the Empire, knocked unconscious in front of an entire clan!
As if that wasn't enough, he had even failed to make the Xue Clan submit.
And then came the final blow.
The report he had just received.
The Great Ascension Realm elder was also defeated by Nie Fengzhuo. And they had no choice but to retreat.
His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"How… HOW?!"
His voice exploded with rage.
"That trash—!"
But the words stopped halfway.
If it was previously, then it would have been a fact but now, Nie Fengzhuo was anything but the trash thrown aside by Bai Xueqing.
The elders of the Crimson Thunder Palace stood nearby, their expressions solemn.
They also weren't in a very good mood nor were they coping well with the fact that Nie Fengzhuo defeated their strongest.
Yu Longxuan's chest rose and fell violently.
Then suddenly, his gaze snapped toward them.
"I want the Immortal Grand Elder."
His voice was cold, filled with killing intent.
The Crimson Thunder Palace elders exchanged glances.
Their expressions tightened.
"Your Highness…"
One of them spoke carefully.
"The Immortal Grand Elder is our trump card. Revealing him now—"
After all, they were the strongest individuals and should be used when clashing against other powerful candidates for the throne.
"—I don't care!"
Yu Longxuan interrupted sharply.
His aura flared again.
"Do you want this humiliation to spread across the Empire?!"
His eyes burned with fury.
"A Great Ascension elder defeated by a junior! My name dragged through the mud! Do you think we can afford to hold back?!"
Silence!
The Crimson Thunder Palace elders' expressions grew darker.
Indeed, if they can't even take care of an individual who dares stand in their way, then how can they win against other Princes and Princesses?
If they don't handle this seriously then not to mention, other princesses or princes, even other clans would look down on them.
So, it was only natural that Yu Lingxuan wanted to take care of this incident as quickly as possible.
And what's better than to have their Immortal Realm take care of it.
"Without an Immortal Realm cultivator dealing with them will indeed be difficult."
One of the elders admitted after recalling how Nie Fengzhuo easily defeated their strongest. The others also slowly nodded.
Nie Fengzhuo alone was already a problem.
And the Xue Clan had shown they were willing to resist.
If they delayed any longer, things might spiral further.
More importantly, the elders also wanted revenge for the humiliation they faced.
A First-Rate Clan!
A mere First-Rate Clan!
And a rising Clan like the Nie Clan, daring to stand against them?
Unacceptable!
Their eyes turned cold.
"Very well!"
One of them said slowly.
"We will request the Immortal Grand Elder's intervention."
A faint killing intent spread across the room.
This time—
There would be no holding back.
They would crush them completely with their full power.
Yu Longxuan let out a cold breath.
"Good!"
His eyes flickered with vicious satisfaction.
"Xue Clan… Nie Fengzhuo…"
A faint smile appeared.
Cruel!
Twisted!
"I'll make sure you regret ever opposing me."
But just as the atmosphere settled—
"Hahaha…!"
A loud, unrestrained laugh echoed from outside the chamber.
"Little brother, I heard you were beaten black and blue by Nie Fengzhuo. Is that true?"
BANG!
The doors burst open.
Figures strode in without restraint. A man clad in luxurious robes, his expression full of mockery.
Yu Wenzhao!
The Third Prince!
Behind him stood several experts, their auras were all powerful and oppressive.
The unmistakable presence of the Heaven Suppression Pavilion.
Yu Longxuan's eyes widened, shock flashed across his face.
"Yu Wenzhao?!"
His expression darkened instantly.
Firstly, Nie Fengzhuo and now before he took care of that, another problem showed up
"How did you get in here?"
His voice turned sharp.
"Guards!"
He shouted.
"GUARDS!"
Silence!
No response.
Not a single footstep.
Not a single voice.
The realization hit instantly.
Yu Longxuan's expression sank.
His gaze swept across the experts behind Yu Wenzhao.
Then back to him.
"You…"
Yu Wenzhao smiled leisurely, fanning himself as if he had just entered his own courtyard.
"Guards! Come and take him away!"
No matter how Yu Longxuan shouted, no one came.
Not a single guard of his.
Only the Crimson Thunder Palace elders remained in the chamber.
The silence was deafening.
Yu Wenzhao watched him calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips as he slowly fanned himself.
"Sorry," he said lightly, almost amused, "but they won't be coming."
A slight pause.
"How about I sent you to the same place as them?"
Yu Longxuan's pupils contracted sharply.
For a split second, he froze.
Then realization struck.
His expression changed drastically.
"You…!"
His voice trembled with suppressed fury.
"You touched my people?!"
Yu Wenzhao's smile widened slightly, but he didn't answer directly.
That smile was already an answer.
The air in the chamber instantly turned cold.
A terrifying killing intent burst out from Yu Longxuan.
"You dare?!"
His aura surged violently, cracks spreading across the already damaged floor.
The Crimson Thunder Palace elders immediately stepped forward, their expressions turning grave as they locked onto Yu Wenzhao and the experts behind him.
This was no longer a simple provocation.
This was an invasion and the third prince seemed prepared.
Yu Wenzhao took a slow step forward, his gaze sweeping across the room before settling on Yu Longxuan.
"Little brother," he said, almost lazily,
"You should calm down."
A faint chuckle escaped him.
"You're already in a bad shape, don't make it worse for yourself."
Yu Longxuan's fists clenched tightly.
His nails dug into his palms.
"Yu Wenzhao…!"
His voice was low and angry.
"You think just because you brought a few people, you can act however you want in my residence?"
The experts behind Yu Wenzhao didn't react but their presence alone spoke volumes.
Each one stood like an immovable mountain.
Their auras restrained—but suffocating.
Yu Longxuan knew that Yu Wenzhao was acting arrogant because of them.
But no matter how powerful they were, Yu Longxuan felt that when Crimson Thunder Palace Grand Elders got involved, those people would be taken care of..
So, why would he need to be scared?
Of course, he needs to be scared because his opponents were already here with their trump card while he has to wait.
If he gets killed here then no matter who was behind him, it won't matter.
Yu Longxuan's thoughts raced.
There was no doubt about it, at this moment, Yu Wenzhao held the upper hand.
The timing was too perfect.
He had just returned injured.
And now, Yu Wenzhao appeared with his experts, his guards gone, his residence compromised.
This wasn't a coincidence, this was planned.
An ambush.
A calculated one.
Yu Longxuan's eyes narrowed.
(He came prepared…)
But what he couldn't understand was—
Where did Yu Wenzhao get the information?
Even with experts from the Heaven Suppression Pavilion behind him, this was still too quick.
"You've got quite the courage, Third Brother!"
Yu Longxuan's voice was low, controlled but one could feel the anger in his tone.
"But have you thought about the consequences of killing me?"
Yu Wenzhao didn't reply.
He simply watched with interest.
As if waiting to see what Yu Longxuan would say next.
Yu Longxuan took a slow step forward.
His aura, though unstable, still carried the weight of a prince.
"If word of this gets out…"
His eyes locked onto Yu Wenzhao.
"You barged into my residence… killing my guards… to kill your own brother… What do you think people will call you?"
A pause.
"A brother killer!"
The words fell heavily.
In the battle for the throne, schemes and assassinations were common.
However, openly killing one's own brother still has consequences despite this being the battle of the throne. Other Princes and Princesses would definitely make use of this to suppress Yu Wenzhao.
By killing Yu Longxuan, Yu Wenzhao would definitely earn attention from everyone.
However, while there were definitely disadvantages, there were also advantages like garnering more fame and gaining the resources of the Seventh Prince.
"You think the Empire and the people will accept that? You can't inherit the throne with such a reputation."
His voice dropped.
"You'll be condemned before you even get the chance."
The room fell into a heavy silence.
Yu Longxuan stared directly at Yu Wenzhao.
Right now, he was at a disadvantage with Yu Wenzhao with the Heaven Suppression Pavillion force.
He only needed to make Yu Wenzhao hesitate and make him retreat.
But he would remember this.
He will immediately call for Grand Elders of Crimson Thunder Palace and launch a full-scale war against the third prince.
(I will definitely make each and every one of you regret this!)
