"Eunuch He, we heard there was an assassin. Where is the Crown Prince?"
"There is no trace of the assassin."
"Eh? Where is the Crown Prince's palace?"
They were all confused. Even if there was an assassin, he couldn't have killed the Crown Prince without making a sound.
Besides, they didn't sense any spiritual power fluctuation. That meant there was no fight.
Where did the Crown Prince go? How did his palace disappear?
"Puff!"
He Deyi was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He said weakly, "The Crown Prince was assassinated. He was assassinated!"
Hearing that, the others were stunned. They couldn't believe it.
They looked at each other and felt that He Deyi was joking.
Where was this place?
It was the royal capital of the Thunderblaze Dynasty!
It was the Crown Prince's Palace!
Not to mention the guards, the Crown Prince must have more powerful guards around him. Even a Sky Origin Stage cultivator would not be able to kill the Crown Prince quietly.
Even a Sky Origin Stage cultivator wouldn't have much hope. There were many Sky Origin Stage cultivators in the royal capital!
If a Sky Origin Stage cultivator came to assassinate the Crown Prince, he wouldn't be able to get away.
That was why they all believed the Crown Prince was assassinated. However, the Crown Prince and his palace had disappeared. That meant things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Just as everyone was in a daze, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky above everyone.
It was a Sky Origin Stage cultivator!
The appearance of these three people made everyone realize that the situation seemed to be really serious.
Not only that, but there were also eight or nine figures standing in the void in succession. Each of them had a grave expression on their faces.
The guards were all stunned. They couldn't believe they saw over a dozen Sky Origin Stage cultivators at the same time!
Normally, they wouldn't see so many powerful cultivators in their entire lives. It was a feast for their eyes.
However, there were so many Sky Origin Stage cultivators in the Crown Prince's Palace. Something big must have happened!
Did something happen to the Crown Prince?
If that was the case, all of them standing here would not be able to escape punishment. They might even be dragged away to be beheaded!
The Sky Origin Stage cultivators in the sky didn't care about them. Some of them closed their eyes as if they were sensing something. Some of them frowned. Some of them looked gloomy.
One of them said, "You all felt it, right?"
"It is indeed the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the power of the Laws of Earth."
"It seems to be the Law of Gravity. What a desirable power."
"I didn't expect a Tongxuan Realm expert to personally come to the Imperial Capital."
The Tongxuan Stage was a stage above the Tianyuan Stage!
Such experts were rare in the world. Every single one of them was an expert who could control the laws of heaven and earth. Their words were law, and they could move mountains and overturn seas with a single thought!
"That's strange. That person from Dynasty wasn't alarmed at all. It's clear that the person who attacked is on par with that person."
"What's even stranger is why he attacked Lei Haoge. He's just a useless ruler."
"That's true. There's something strange about this."
"It's just the death of a Crown Prince. The important thing is to find out who did it. It doesn't matter if Lei Haoge dies or not. We can't lose face."
"That person can't have gone far. I suggest that we activate the Great Thunder Flame Formation. Even if he's a Tongxuan Realm martial artist, he has to stay in the Imperial Capital."
"This is not something we can decide."
While these Tianyuan Realm experts were talking, a man in a golden robe arrived. He was the Clumsy Ruler!
He looked at the empty Crown Prince Residence and had an ominous premonition. He asked, "I was in the Dragon Vein preparing for Lei Haoge's ascension. What happened just now? Where is the Crown Prince?"
"He's dead."
A Tianyuan Realm expert said calmly. He sounded like a stray dog that had died on the street.
The Clumsy Ruler's eyes suddenly turned golden. He glanced around the Crown Prince Residence and said, "There's the aura of the Law of Heaven and Earth!
Could it be a Tongxuan Realm expert? "
A Tongxuan Realm expert appeared in the Imperial Capital and killed Lei Haoge. This was a great threat to the Thunderblaze Dynasty.
If this Tongxuan Realm expert was crazy enough to attack the Imperial Capital, the entire Imperial Capital would be destroyed!
However, the Clumsy Ruler couldn't figure it out. There were detection arrays set up around the Imperial Capital. Any aura of a Tianyuan Realm expert or above would be detected.
Even if the arrays were evaded, there were still Tongxuan Realm experts from the Thunderblaze Dynasty hiding in the Imperial Capital. If it was really a Tongxuan Realm expert, it was impossible for them not to be detected.
What the hell is going on?
"Your Highness, should we activate the Heaven-Destroying Thunderblaze Formation?"
"Don't act rashly. If we push that guy too far, even if we kill him, the Imperial Capital will suffer a great loss.
Let me go and ask Master Qiao to come out first. Now, you guys are all scattered around the Imperial Capital. We can't let anything happen to you, "the Clumsy Ruler said.
"We understand."
What they said was blocked, so the people below couldn't hear them.
The dozen Tianyuan Realm experts flashed and disappeared. The Clumsy Ruler looked at the people below and asked, "Has the Crown Prince made any enemies recently?"
The people looked at each other. They all knew Lei Haoge had caused a lot of trouble and some people must be dissatisfied with him. However, they wouldn't go so far as to assassinate the Crown Prince.
Therefore, no one said anything. The Clumsy Ruler suddenly snorted. It was as if the power of heaven had descended. Under the gaze of his golden eyes, everyone felt chills down their spines. They were all frightened!
"Your Highness, I only know that the Crown Prince doesn't get along well with some generals."
"I heard that the Crown Prince has some conflicts with the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce."
"The Crown Prince has been picking on Steward Liu of the Dark Thunder Guards."
"The Crown Prince has asked for a lot of dancers in the past two months. They are all top prostitutes in the brothels. That is why he is in trouble."
"…"
The more they talked, the more excited they became. It seemed this was a good chance for them to atone for their sins. They told the people about all the ugly things Lei Haoge had done recently!
The Clumsy Ruler's face turned darker and darker. He didn't know Lei Haoge had done so many stupid things. He had offended all the powerful forces and noble families in the Imperial Capital!
Although it wasn't a big deal, it was enough to show how arrogant Lei Haoge was in private!
Was such a man really fit to be the Crown Prince?
Even if Lei Haoge didn't die today, the Clumsy Ruler would have to reconsider.
In the end, the Clumsy Ruler waved his sleeve and gave an order, "You all go to the Heavenly Prison to receive your punishment. If you don't obey, all your relatives will be killed."
After that, he disappeared, leaving the people behind with gloomy faces.
Leng Shiqi, who had assassinated Lei Haoge and was mistaken as a Tongxuan Realm cultivator, had already returned to the Xingzhi Pavilion.
He was holding his chest in pain. There was blood on the corner of his mouth. "With my current cultivation, it is indeed a bit difficult for me to use the Law of Gravity."
