#2264 - how so!
Jun Wuxie left Dusk City and entered the vast mountains outside the city, finding a place with a lake.
The scenery here was beautiful, the environment serene, surrounded by green hills and clear waters.
He summoned the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, sinking it into the lake, transforming it into the form of lake water, merging with it.
Immediately, he entered the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, constructed a double time array, took a large amount of eighth-order breakthrough pills, and began his cultivation journey.
At the same time, within the Secret Realm.
Hanzhou Ancient City, a certain mansion.
This was the residence rented by the people of the Dusk Dynasty.
Yuda Ren frowned, pacing back and forth, worried.
With him were several other strong individuals.
"Yuda Ren, don't be anxious.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince must have something going on, perhaps they entered a special secret realm due to an opportunity, which is why they can't be contacted.
Maybe the Crown Prince and the Prince will return on their own in a couple of days.
Besides, this is the Secret Realm, even if there is any accident, they can be resurrected in the city's Life Crystal, only losing some exclusive artifacts."
"That's true, but I'm always uneasy, with a bad feeling, and my eyelids keep twitching!"
Yuda Ren sat down, his face very bad.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince had been gone for many days.
Logically speaking, they should have returned.
Even if they were still in that secret realm, they should at least be able to be contacted.
After all, it was not a sealed secret realm, but an open secret realm.
However, the secret method could not be used to contact them.
"The people we sent out should be back soon, Lord, please be patient."
Several strong individuals said.
"Next time, don't let the Crown Prince and the Prince go to train alone.
The Crown Prince's identity is extraordinary, he is the crown prince of our dynasty, the future emperor!"
Yuda Ren said, habitually reaching out to pick up the teacup on the table.
His hand reached halfway and then retracted.
He was no longer in the mood to drink tea.
For some reason, he felt as if something bad was about to happen.
Just then, two figures rushed in, stumbling, staggering, their faces pale and panicked.
If it were normal, Yuda Ren would definitely scold them.
But this time he didn't.
Seeing the two people's flustered appearance, Yuda Ren's heart sank, and he stood up abruptly.
The two were the ones he sent to investigate the situation in the secret realm where the Crown Prince and the Prince had gone.
"Yuda Ren, it's bad, it's bad!"
After the two came in, they knelt down with a thud.
"Wh… What's going on?"
Yuda Ren's voice trembled involuntarily, and his lips were shaking.
The other strong individuals also became tense, staring at the two people who had returned to report the situation.
"The Crown Prince and the Third Prince they… they…"
"What happened to them, speak!"
Yuda Ren clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, and the veins on his temples and neck bulged.
"We, we saw two corpses in that secret realm, it seems… it seems to be the Crown Prince and the Third Prince…
Because the corpses are close to the area where the god-level creatures are, we can't get close, it's difficult to verify their identities…"
"Impossible! This is the Secret Realm, how could the Crown Prince and the Prince die!
Even if they die, they will be resurrected in the city's Life Crystal!
They carry a large number of high-level substitute death talismans!
Are you mistaken!
How dare you curse the Crown Prince and the Prince, what is your crime?!"
Yuda Ren roared angrily, but his heart sank to the bottom, and his palms were full of sweat.
"Lord, spare me!"
The two people trembled, not daring to say that it was the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
Although there was some distance and they couldn't verify their identities, they were basically sure that it was the Crown Prince and the Third Prince…
At this moment, not only Yuda Ren, but the other strong individuals also turned pale, their bodies swaying a few times, and fear grew in their hearts.
They were ordered by the emperor to come in to assist the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and they shoulder responsibilities.
If the Crown Prince and the Third Prince really died, and the emperor was furious and punished them, all of them would lose their heads!
"Go! Take us there!"
Yuda Ren came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm.
Immediately, they, a group of strong individuals, took the two people and quickly left Hanzhou Ancient City, heading towards that secret realm.
Along the way, they never stopped, using Divine Speed Talismans to rush frantically.
After arriving at that secret realm, the creatures inside had not been refreshed, and there were still many blank exclusive artifacts on the ground.
Obviously, many people had discovered this secret realm and came here to kill the secret realm creatures to obtain resources.
They went deep into the secret realm all the way, but they didn't see any creatures.
Until they approached the location where the god-level creature was.
From afar, Yuda Ren saw two corpses lying on the cold ground, their bodies severely deformed, and dark red blood congealed all over them.
The faces of the corpses were well preserved, with some blood stains in the seven orifices, and the facial features showed that they were very similar to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
Seeing this scene, Yuda Ren couldn't catch his breath, staggered and almost fell.
The other strong individuals were also like this, their legs almost giving way.
They rushed forward, alarming the god-level creature.
A powerful baleful aura swept over instantly.
The god-level creature did not directly attack, but just looked at them coldly.
At this time, Yuda Ren and his group came to the two corpses.
At such a close distance, looking at the two cold corpses on the ground, the last trace of luck in their hearts was shattered!
"How could this be, how could this be!
Crown Prince, how could you die here, who killed you, who did it!"
Yuda Ren's eyes were bloodshot, his black hair danced wildly, like a furious old lion, and the roar shook the secret realm's mountain walls.
"Noisy humans, what are you shouting!"
The god-level creature spoke, it was a demon ape, its eyes glowing red, revealing its fangs, and the black hair on its body was like needles.
"Who killed them!" Yuda Ren stared at the demon ape fiercely, "Speak, who!
They died here, you must have witnessed the whole process!"
"I killed them, two ignorant and weak humans, I shook them to death with one palm, they were really not durable."
The demon ape said lightly, and also showed a provocative expression as if saying, what can you do to me.
"You're talking nonsense! It's impossible for you to kill them, how can you prevent them from resurrecting and completely kill them here!"
Yuda Ren naturally didn't believe it.
Secret realm creatures have this ability?
Never heard of it.
Even the creatures in the sealed secret realm have never been said to have such means, let alone the open secret realm.
"What's impossible, see the ancient talisman fragments on the ground?"
The demon ape sneered, "It was their fate to die here! It just so happened that I had a special ancient talisman in my hand that could directly kill the primordial spirit.
The two of them were more noisy than you at the time, overestimating their strength and daring to come here to provoke me.
It's a pity that the ancient talisman I collected was consumed like this…"
Yuda Ren hurriedly picked up the ancient talisman fragments on the ground, his hands trembling, his whole body trembling, and the baleful aura on his body continued to rise.
"Damn demon ape, I'll tear you apart!"
Yuda Ren and several strong individuals were furious on the spot, their killing intent soaring to the sky, and they rushed up together.
"With you, you can't do it!"
The demon ape was only a sixth-order god-level creature.
Seeing these strong individuals rushing towards it, it ran directly to the depths of the secret realm.
Yuda Ren and others chased all the way, until they saw the super-god-level creature, they slammed on the brakes, their eyes red, and their chests heaving violently.
There were not only super-god-level creatures there, but also a group of god-level demon apes.
Although their realms were very high, equivalent to the ninth order.
However, they were cultivators from the outside world, and there was no suppression of the secret realm creatures by the great realm in this secret realm.
Facing so many god-level plus super-god-level creatures, they simply couldn't do anything with their strength!
"You wait, one day I will level this secret realm and tear you demon apes into pieces!"
Yuda Ren jumped up and down in anger, left harsh words, turned around and left.
They picked up the corpses of Dusk Crown Prince and the Third Prince and left quickly.
Outside the secret realm, each of them lost their minds, looked at the two corpses, and then looked into the distance.
"Yuda Ren, what do we do now?"
Several strong individuals were uneasy and had no idea, and all turned their attention to Yuda Ren.
"What else can we do, take the corpses of the Crown Prince and the Prince out, hand them over to the Emperor, and prepare to bear the Emperor's wrath…"
Yuda Ren was completely decadent, and instantly seemed to have aged a lot.
Hearing this, several strong individuals shook their bodies, "But…"
"No buts!"
Yuda Ren said coldly: "Our families are still in the dynasty, even if they all hide in the secret realm, they can't hide from the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth!
The secret realm will eventually be closed!
If we don't accept the Emperor's wrath, our families will suffer!
Don't you want to exterminate the nine clans?"
"My life is over!"
Several strong individuals sighed sadly.
The Emperor had a total of two sons, and now they are all dead. One can imagine what kind of rage the Emperor will be in.
Will he spare himself and others?
"Let's go, go straight back to the imperial capital!"
Yuda Ren adjusted his emotions, and together with several strong individuals, took the corpses of Dusk Crown Prince and the Third Prince and disappeared in place.
The next moment, they appeared in Dusk City.
They put the corpses of Dusk Crown Prince and the Third Prince into the Na Ring, and then hurried into the palace to meet the Emperor.
At this time, the Dusk Emperor was thinking about when to pass the throne to the Crown Prince.
Before that, there were still many things to prepare.
For example, tricking Lian Yue back, seizing her luck and marrying her to the Crown Prince.
At this time, a eunuch came in a hurry to report that Yuda Ren was asking to see him.
"Let them in."
The Dusk Emperor sat upright behind the desk in the study.
It was perfect timing for Judah to return, allowing him to inquire about the Crown Prince's situation during this period.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Judah and the others rushing in, their faces covered in tears, looking as if they had lost their parents. They knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty!"
They knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, their grief as profound as if their own parents had died.
The Sunset Emperor was taken aback. His majestic face furrowed as he said in a deep voice, "What is the meaning of this, my esteemed ministers?
You are important officials of my Sunset Dynasty, holding high positions and great power. How can you weep and wail like this!
Tell me exactly what has happened, and cease your incessant crying!"
"Your Majesty, this old minister is incompetent and guilty!
This old minister failed to protect the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. This old minister…"
"What did you say?"
The Sunset Emperor stood up abruptly, the corner of his eye twitching violently, and said in a deep voice, "What happened to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince?"
"The Crown Prince and the Third Prince, they…"
"Speak!"
The Sunset Emperor's voice had turned icy cold, causing the air in the entire study to freeze, the temperature plummeting suddenly!
Judah and the other experts trembled all over, feeling a chill run down their spines.
Under this icy aura, their cries paused for a moment, but then they resumed their heart-wrenching, sorrowful wails.
"The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were killed by creatures within the secret realm!
This old minister is incompetent and has failed Your Majesty's sacred mission. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"
Judah used this as a strategic retreat, crying out while taking the corpses of the Sunset Crown Prince and the Third Prince out of his storage ring.
