"Oh?"
"So what you're saying, Master, is that the position of Crown Prince is just an illusion?"
"If that's the case, what will you do if I refuse, along with all of you?"
Dongfang Yuan said with great interest on his face.
"Crown Prince, things have come to this point, are you still going to be stubborn?" The Master said softly.
At this moment, the Master, the Grand Tutor, and the Commander of the Imperial Guards, all the officials of the dynasty, were standing on the side of the Second Prince, Dongfang Xin.
Many other civil and military officials also hoped that Dongfang Xin would ascend to the throne.
After all, Dongfang Yuan has achieved nothing, and he has no talent for cultivation. Such a person as the emperor would only harm the Heavenly Evolution Dynasty.
"Take the Crown Prince away for proper rest, as for the position of emperor, let the Second Prince ascend, no one among us objects!"
The Master said when he saw that Dongfang Yuan refused to drink the toast and was punished.
Then, Tie Han walked out and tried to suppress Dongfang Yuan.
Bang!
But at this moment, just as Tie Han approached, a Divine Slayer Guard suddenly made a move, and a sword directly cut him in half, blood splattering on the spot.
"What?!"
"Law Manifestation Realm!"
All the civil and military officials were shocked, Dongfang Xin and the Master's faces changed slightly, with an expression of disbelief.
The person floating in the air did indeed have the cultivation aura of the Law Manifestation Realm.
There is a Law Manifestation Realm expert by the Crown Prince's side?
How is this possible?!
However, before they could figure it out, the Prime Minister delivered a heavy blow: "You are... at the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm!"
The Prime Minister felt the aura emanating from the Divine Slayer Guard, which was indeed the same as his own, a true peak Law Manifestation Realm cultivation, and even slightly stronger. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"Peak of the Law Manifestation Realm!"
When the civil and military officials on the scene heard this, many of them had expressions of extreme shock and confusion on their faces.
The faces of the Master and Dongfang Xin were also slightly pale at this moment.
Why would there be a peak Law Manifestation Realm expert by Dongfang Yuan's side?
This is the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm, a top expert even in the Northern Domain. How could he be guarding Dongfang Yuan?
And just when everyone couldn't understand, Dongfang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I forgot to introduce them to you. These four are my Divine Slayer Guards."
"Their strength is similar to that of the Prime Minister, just at the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm."
"I wonder if with their help, I can ascend to the throne today?"
Dongfang Yuan's smile was very sinister, with a terrifying expression.
"Four... Four peak Law Manifestation Realm experts!"
Before they could be shocked, the cultivation auras of the other three Divine Slayer Guards also emanated.
The imposing might of the four peak Law Manifestation Realm experts filled the entire hall. Everyone in the hall, including the Prime Minister, was sweating profusely and felt immense pressure.
Thump!
Even some cultivators with weaker cultivation couldn't withstand this pressure and knelt directly on the ground.
Dongfang Xin was already trembling and unable to speak. At this moment, his back was slightly forced down, bearing the tremendous pressure, his teeth clenched, and his face turned red as he trembled and resisted.
Dongfang Yuan slowly walked up to the Master. Holding the imperial seal, he looked at him and said, "Tell me, am I worthy of sitting on this throne?"
The Master was also under the tremendous pressure of these four people. He knew very well that he had offended Dongfang Yuan today.
He actually had four peak Law Manifestation Realm experts under his command, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, pushing him into a desperate situation.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well give it a try.
Suddenly, the Master raised his head and his entire body burst with aura.
Seeing this scene, the Prime Minister, as well as the King of Heaven, all had their faces changed and shouted, "Crown Prince, be careful!"
At the same time, the Master's palm reached out and attacked Dongfang Yuan in front of him.
"It's too late!"
The Master sneered. He himself didn't expect that Dongfang Yuan would dare to be so careless and come directly in front of him.
But just as the Master's hand was about to grab his neck, a faint smile appeared on Dongfang Yuan's face.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone in the hall unfolded.
Dongfang Yuan grabbed the Grand Preceptor's hand empty-handed, effortlessly breaking his strength, and then turned his hand to grab the Grand Preceptor's neck, lifting him up like a little chicken.
The officials and generals in the entire hall were shocked to see this scene.
Dongfang Xin, the Grand Tutor, and Huang Quan were petrified on the spot.
"What the f*ck?!"
"Did I see that right? The Crown Prince actually captured the Grand Preceptor in an instant?"
"Am I dreaming?!"
Many people couldn't believe what they saw.
It was because the impact on their hearts from this scene was too great.
A useless Crown Prince without any cultivation talent, with just one move, instantly suppressed a Law Manifestation Realm Late Stage expert. It made people doubt their lives.
Even the Grand Preceptor himself, who was being lifted up, was now filled with panic, fear, and doubt.
Only he knew how strong the power that Dongfang Yuan used to suppress him was.
It was an absolute power that didn't even allow him to produce the slightest thought of resistance.
He was so scared that he couldn't even beg for mercy.
"Attacking the ruler of a country, this crime deserves death!"
At this moment, the smile on Dongfang Yuan's face disappeared, and he became exceptionally serious, exuding an imperial dominance from head to toe.
Then, with a forceful push, he infused Heavenly Venerable Realm-level power into the Grand Preceptor's body.
Immediately, the Grand Preceptor's soul couldn't withstand this power and directly exploded.
His body slumped, and his life force extinguished.
Thud!
Dongfang Yuan let go of his hand, and the Grand Preceptor's body fell directly to the ground.
The hearts of the Left Prime Minister and others trembled.
Dongfang Yuan's gaze now turned serious as he glanced at Dongfang Xin and said, "Dongfang Xin, Huang Li Quan, Zhang Lin, the three of you conspired with a poisonous plan to harm this emperor, committing a heinous crime!"
"I order that these three be executed in the court as a warning to others!"
"Yes!"
After Dongfang Yuan finished speaking, the four Divine Execution Guards immediately responded.
"Crown Prince, spare us!"
"We dare not, Crown Prince!"
"We know we were wrong! Please spare us!"
"Crown Prince..."
Swoosh.
The Grand Tutor and Huang Li Quan were both begging for mercy with tears streaming down their faces, but before they could finish their words, two Divine Execution Guards had already taken action and beheaded them.
Another guard approached Dongfang Xin.
"No... Big brother, you can't kill me, we are blood brothers!"
"You can't kill me!"
Seeing all his lackeys being killed, Dongfang Xin was now completely panicked.
"We are only half-brothers, not that close," Dongfang Yuan replied indifferently.
"Blood is thicker than water!"
"Don't... Don't come any closer! Don't come near me!"
"My master is the third elder of the Fengyun Sect. If you dare to kill me, he..."
Swoosh!
Before Dongfang Xin could finish his last words, the Divine Execution Guard's sword had already swung.
With a thud, the head separated from the body.
Not only that, the small piece of Supreme Bone on Dongfang Xin's body was forcibly dug out by the Divine Execution Guard.
On the entire hall, the blood from several bodies merged together, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
In this way, Dongfang Yuan held the imperial seal and sat on the highest dragon throne.
"Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"
The Left Prime Minister was the first to react and immediately knelt down, expressing his loyalty.
After the other officials and generals calmed down from their shock, they also knelt down and paid their respects.
"Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"
