Chapter 187: Change the Crown Prince

Chapter 187: Change the Crown Prince

The room fell deathly silent.

The emperor and the officials looked at the old mans decapitated head in horror.

That old man was an extremely esteemed individual. He was the emperors great grandfather, and he had once served as Chillwaters emperor too. However, he chose to abdicate to focus on furthering his martial cultivation.

There were less than ten Longevity Ki martial artists in Chillwater, but most were at early Longevity Ki. Only a small handful had reached mid Longevity Ki. Even Ji Congyun, as the Ji Clans patriarch and a figure who stood on equal ground with Chillwaters imperial family, was merely at late Longevity Ki.

However, this old ancestor had reached pinnacle Longevity Ki many years ago and had been pushing for a breakthrough to Heaven Profound realm. To think that an expert of that caliber was killed in a single move!

Is this the means of an immortal?

Ji Congyun was first taken aback, but delight soon flickered across his eyes. He couldnt believe that the person he feared the most had died in such a ludicrous manner.

This was good news to him!

The Ji Clan no longer had to fear the imperial family because of that old man anymore!

The emperor couldnt believe what had just happened. It took a few moments before he snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath. Then, he looked at the crown prince.

The crown prince had completely turned pale. With quivering lips, he said, That matter was a misunderstanding. Ill do whatever is required to compensate for Great Xias loss

Oh? How do you intend to compensate for our 600,000 deceased soldiers? Fang Chen asked with a smile.

I can compensate The crown prince squeezed out a smile.

Fang Chen smiled back before he nodded at Zhao Yan. The next instant, Zhao Yan appeared beside the crown prince and plucked the crown princes head off his neck.

Its time for you to select another crown prince, Fang Chen said before he turned around and walked out of the imperial court.

Ji Congyun and the others were silent as they watched Fang Chen leave.

Ten whole seconds passed before the emperors gaze finally fell on the crown princes headless corpse and trembled.

Just as they were about to venture deeper into the mountain range, they suddenly heard some commotion. Shortly after, a huge group of Nightmare Knights encircled them.

Who are you? This is the Ji Clans private territory! Leave right now! The leader of the Nightmare Knights coldly eyed the group.

Interesting. So, this is where the Ji Clans cultivator found the Nightmare Steeds! Xia Yun burst into laughter.

To avoid trouble, Li Daoye manifested a fireball and torched a few nearby trees into cinders. What were doing here has nothing to do with you. Scram!

The Nightmare Knights were shocked. Having seen an immortals means before, they could easily figure their identities after witnessing Li Daoyes fireball. These people are all immortals?

Are you an immortal? the leader of the Nightmare Knights carefully asked.

What do you think? Li Daoye snorted. Do I not look like one?

Upon receiving the affirmation, the leader of the Nightmare Knights quickly switched to a respectful tone and said, I sincerely apologize for my earlier offense, but this place

The immortal worshiped by your Ji Clan is dead, Li Daoye coldly said.

The other party was shocked. Seconds later, he nervously asked, Lord Immortal, are you heading to that place?

Oh? Why dont we get them to lead the way? Li Daoye asked the group.

Sounds good. The others nodded in agreement, thinking that it would be more convenient.

Senior, how many cultivators are there here?

Lets ask them for directions.

Two voices echoed from above.

There was a blur, and a man and a woman appeared before the crowd. These two people had an extraordinary disposition, and there were hints of spirit ki on them. Their cultivation appeared to be higher than Xia Yuns.

Their presence exerted faint pressure on everyone present, with the exception of Fang Chen.

Xia Yun is at eighth stage Ki Refinement. These two must be at least at ninth stage Ki Refinement, Fang Chen thought.
