Figures one after another continued to arrive in front of His Majesty the Emperor's palace. They were all stunned when they saw the lifeless eldest prince Dongfang Tianming lying on the ground.
"What's going on?"
An old man wearing a bright yellow robe asked in a deep voice. Unlike other guests, this old man is also a member of the Eastern Royal Family, but he is not a direct bloodline. However, with his martial arts cultivation, he is still the third person respected by everyone in the Eastern Royal Family.
Elder.
"Third Elder..." Dongfang Yao was on the verge of tears. Even though the eldest brother and she were not close in age, she could not help but cry as she watched him die in front of her.
However, everything happened too fast just now, and it was Wu Zong who did it. She didn't even see how others started to kill people.
"Third Elder, my eldest brother was killed by a martial arts master with an ice pick. Among the people who were here just now, he was the only one who could have killed the emperor. Moreover, he has been blocking the way from my father's palace every day these days.
We will meet with the emperor and ask the third elder to make a decision!"
Dongfang Yao was speechless. Dongfang Tianjian answered the third elder's words first, and then made it clear that it was the grey-robed Wuzong who killed the eldest prince.
"Um?"
The third elder's eyes were fixed on the gray-robed old man. Among the elders of the Dongfang Royal Family, there were only two ice-attributed Wuzongs. The other one had been assigned to do a secret mission, and the remaining one was arranged to follow Dongfang Yao. Now it seems that,
It's really possible that he killed the eldest prince.
More importantly...preventing the prince from meeting His Majesty the Emperor?
Is there really a ghost here?
"Get He Bing first!"
The third elder waved his hand, and immediately several martial arts masters subdued the gray-robed martial master He Bing. At the same time, the third elder had already walked towards the palace. However, just when he was about to push open the palace door, a slender jade hand appeared.
Stopped it.
"Third Elder, my father is practicing and no one is allowed in."
"presumptuous!"
The third elder shouted coldly. Just one glance made Dongfang Yao shake his mind and he couldn't help but take a few steps back and let the door open. However, it only took a moment for Dongfang Yao to block it with his body.
At the door of the palace.
"Third Elder, in my father's name, please don't embarrass me."
Being stopped by Dongfang Yao one after another, the third elder's face was not good-looking, "Dongfang Yao, Your Majesty is concerned with our Liuyun Empire. You are not allowed to do whatever you want. There is so much noise outside, and even your eldest brother has died here. You
You are still blocking me here, maybe your eldest brother’s death is not as important as your father’s cultivation!”
With that said, with a wave of his long sleeves, Dongfang Yao was slapped aside and moved away from the door.
Dongfang Tianjian and Dongfang Tianhong also followed the third elder and were about to open the door and enter.
However, as soon as they touched the door, the three of them were ejected. However, it turned out that a huge formation was set up in the palace, and it was also a powerful third-level formation. The three of them were directly ejected by the formation without checking.
The magic backlash popped up, especially the third elder who had a higher level of cultivation. Because of his higher level of cultivation, the force of the backlash he received was also stronger. He took seven or eight steps back before he could stabilize his body.
"Dongfang Yao!"
The third elder glared at Dongfang Yao angrily. He made such a fool of himself all because of this little girl Dongfang Yao. But thinking of Princess Dongfang Yao's identity, he couldn't move his clenched fists, so he could only say bitterly.
"Remove the formation quickly!"
Under Wu Zong's pressure, Dongfang Yao was sweating continuously, but still managed to hold on and shook her head, "Father ordered that no matter what happens, he cannot be disturbed. I cannot withdraw from this formation."
Although he was still insisting, Dongfang Yao also knew that the eldest brother was dead now, not to mention how sad his father would be when he found out, but now faced with the coercion of the third elder and the third and fifth brothers, his father
The emperor's delay in showing up is unjustifiable. She simply cannot hold on for long on her own.
More importantly, she simply did not believe that Uncle He was responsible for the death of the eldest emperor brother, so only the third and fifth emperor brothers who suddenly asked to see their father at that time were the most suspicious.
It is very likely that they have already guessed the current physical condition of their father, and today is the day when they force the palace to take action.
At this moment, the father is unconscious, the eldest brother is dead, and the seventh brother went to ask for medicine for the father. The other brothers are either young or not at the palace at all. If they force their way in and discover the father's current situation,
, I am afraid that the Third Emperor Brother can take advantage of this to ascend to the throne in the next step. After all, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and with the two major families behind him and the Fifth Emperor Brother, it is really possible for him to succeed in ascending to the throne.
At that time, as the emperor and the courtiers, the three emperor brothers can win over the royal family elders and guest minister Wuzong, not to mention that even if the father wakes up, he will be unable to save his life, and even whether he can wake up is still a question.
To say that this plan is not complicated, it can even be said to be a conspiracy, but the timing is chosen very well. After taking advantage of the fact that the eldest brother didn't know anything, he took action first to remove him, the biggest obstacle to the throne. The rest of the actions
It just comes naturally.
The more he thought about all this, the chillier Dongfang Yao felt in his heart. Brother Three Emperors was really well prepared.
Now the only one who can stop the Third Emperor Brother is his father, but the Seventh Emperor Brother and Ye Lin, can they make it in time!
Dongfang Yao was naturally unwilling to open the formation. Dongfang Tianjian simply did not hide it and whispered to the third elder for a long time. The two of them did not know what consensus they had reached. Soon, the Wu Zong of the Xue family and the Chang family
Then they entered the palace, and there were also several guests from the Eastern Royal Family. With so many experts working together, it was only a matter of time before they could crack a third-level formation.
"Boom! Boom!"
The formation is roaring continuously. Although the situation inside cannot be seen at this moment, whether it is Dongfang Tianjian, Dongfang Tianhong, or even the third elder, they all know that practicing behind closed doors is just an excuse. His Majesty the Emperor of the Liuyun Empire, Dongfang Xing,
There must be something wrong with Ping, otherwise, how could he remain indifferent even though he knew that his son was dead and someone was attacking the palace formation?
Dongfang Tianjian and the third elder looked at each other and both showed a smile.
Seeing that the formation outside Dongfang Xingping's palace was already shaky and about to collapse, the third elder waved his hand and asked others to push away, preparing to personally give the formation the final blow to completely destroy it.
As long as the formation is destroyed, everyone can see Dongfang Xingping's appearance, and then everything can no longer be hidden, and the third prince can be promoted to the throne. In the future, the third prince will inherit the throne. He will be the biggest contributor, not only himself
There will definitely be more cultivation resources, and the clan behind him will also take a step forward as a result.
Originally, the third prince had prepared the final step that made all the difference, but he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to happen upon it, giving him a great opportunity. At this moment, he naturally had to put in more effort to show off the strength of his martial arts sect.
Although Dongfang Tianjian's cultivation level is not as good as that of the third elder, but in terms of the Tao in his heart, he can naturally see through the thoughts of the third elder at a glance. However, the third elder's move is also in line with his intention. Once the emperor and the courtiers,
When the time comes for him to ascend to power, he will naturally need a period of cleansing. A master of martial arts like the Third Elder is suitable to be his sharpest knife.
The two of them took two steps forward together tacitly, waiting for the third elder to break the formation.
However, at this moment, the formation that was already on the verge of collapse suddenly dissipated on its own, as if it had been unlocked by talents. At the same time, the door to the palace that the Third Elder, Dongfang Tianjian and others had been hoping to open suddenly creaked and was opened by someone.
The inside is pushed open lightly. (To be continued)
