The First Prince had originally planned to seek asylum.

However …

"AHH!"

And the one who had saved everyone, was none other than Sixth Prince Mu Rong Qing!

The surrounding people revealed inconceivable expressions. The giants, who were originally three to five meters tall, actually needed to raise their heads to look at Mu Rong Qing who looked like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world. All kinds of discussions were going on in the crowd.

"What's going on?" This Sixth Prince's body was actually emitting a divine light. This was something that only Immortal cultivators could do! "

"Yes, yes, this is amazing!" We have never seen anyone with such great strength be able to use his own strength to disperse the harsh weather without any effort. He is truly amazing! "

"Truly, one must not judge a book by its cover. The sea and water do not allow one to compete, and the strength of this Sixth Prince is not inferior to that of the First Prince! "If it wasn't for the imperial edict saying that he would pass the throne down to the First Prince, this Gaomu's throne might very well have belonged to him!"

"…"

Unknowingly, half of the people had already started to lean towards Mu Rong Qing.

Even more inconceivable was that at this time, a few guards suddenly shouted loudly.

"Oh my god!" The First Prince, the First Prince is dead! "

"Second Prince, the third prince has also disappeared!"

"The empress is dead too!"

"…"

The guards who were in charge of protecting their master realized that after the Black Wind had disappeared, their master had died on the spot. He was so frightened that his face turned white and he shouted.

When the others heard this, the first thing they heard was a clamor. Many people were unable to recover from the shock even when they saw the corpse. After all, the one who died was the crown prince who'd inherited the throne, and the empress who'd held half the power in the court all along.

In addition to the disappearance of the Second and Third Princes, the highest ranking leader in front of them now was Empress Dowager.

Perhaps it was because General Jeru had protected her, but currently, he was completely unharmed. However, their faces were slightly pale and their legs were trembling. The two palace maids were unable to support them.

Everyone was anxiously looking at Empress Dowager, waiting for her to give her orders.

"Empress Dowager, right now, everything is calm and peaceful. There are no traps, nor is there such a strange weather. Looks like the assassins have left, should we take advantage of this victory to pursue them? A minister that liked to flatter people asked Empress Dowager respectfully.

These words seemed to turn a blind eye to the miserable state they were in. It was just an exaggeration of the strength of the imperial family, but it had always been very interested in the Empress Dowager.

It was only now that she couldn't tolerate the past. Her son had died the day before. Today, his daughter-in-law died along with him. His eldest grandson also disappeared along with his two grandsons. This scene was equivalent to the destruction of one's family, something that the Empress Dowager could not accept.

In addition to the black wind from before, there was a cold and sharp thing that flitted across Empress Dowager's neck. If it wasn't for the fact that the assassin showed mercy, she would have already reunited with her grandchildren, daughter-in-law, and her son in the underworld.

Walk through the gates of hell.

At the moment, Empress Dowager was already so scared that his face was pale and his body was shaking uncontrollably. He couldn't say anything. Perhaps, he wouldn't be able to speak normally again in the future …

General Jeru, who was beside Empress Dowager, spoke up for him.

"If it wasn't for Sixth Prince, those assassins would have been scared off! The rest of us are going to be wiped out, what are we going to do about it? So, before we understand the strength of the enemy, we better not act rashly! Right now, the most important thing for us to do is to retrieve the bodies of the crown prince and the empress, and then dispatch some men to search for the whereabouts of the second and third princes! "

"Yes, yes, yes! The General Jeru is right!" The fawning and flattering civil servant immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, in the current situation, other than the semi-paralyzed Empress Dowager, there was nothing else. Those with actual authority had to be the General Jeru. Those with status would only have the Sixth Prince. Everyone saw that Mu Rong Qing did not object, so they naturally followed General Jeru's suggestion.

Just like that, the group of people made their way home.

It was just that when he came out, it was a corpse and when he went back, he carried several hundred corpses with him …

This heavy injury caused the entire Gaomu to decline for a long time. In a situation where there was no one in the court, the General Jeru was strongly in favour of letting the Sixth Prince represent the court for the time being.

Although the Sixth Prince had half the bloodline of the human race, at the critical moment, everyone could see the power of the Sixth Prince. He was an immortal cultivator, and his cultivation wasn't low either. A person of such strength was qualified to become the Emperor.

Furthermore, there was no one in the court right now. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?

There was only half of the civil and military officials left in the enormous throne room. Those who were still alive felt indignant for their friends, comrades, and children who had died. All of them were filled with righteous indignation and loudly shouted that they would pay with their blood.

The entire imperial court was in an uproar.

However, Mu Rong Qing quietly sat high up in the throne room, looking at everyone with an imposing gaze.
