“In your eyes, I’m still the Eighteenth Prince?”
He Chuan smiled faintly as he walked into the room. The oppressive aura on his body continued to rise, making it increasingly difficult for everyone present to breathe.
Among the dozens of people, the strongest was the City Lord, who was already in the fourth stage.
However, he was horrified to discover that.
He was unable to resist in front of He Chuan, who was only a third stage awakened.
Not to mention struggling, he couldn’t even use the spiritual energy in his body!
“How is this possible…”
The City Lord looked at He Chuan, who was getting closer and closer in disbelief.
Didn’t the Eighteenth Prince not awaken?
How could he have such majestic spiritual energy?
This motherf*cker…
Could it be that he only awakened after he went to take up his post in Glory City?
That’s not right. It’s only been a month or so. Where did he get such powerful cultivation???
This question puzzled everyone present.
No one could answer it for them.
He Chuan naturally wouldn’t either.
He stood still in the room, his gaze sweeping over everyone as he spoke slowly.
“Just now, who said they wanted to visit Glory City to visit me?”
Hearing this, the Cty Lord’s gaze flickered, but he did not say a word.
“Looks like it’s you, City Lord.”
He Chuan had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at him. “I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. Do you agree?”
“Your Highness, if you have any questions, just ask me. It’s just that what you’ve done… is a little too much, right?”
The City Lord also laughed, “Threatening the Cty Lord is a serious crime, not to mention there are other high-ranking officials and colleagues present. Even if you’re a Prince, you can’t act so recklessly, right?”
“I’m not interested in playing these roundabout games with you!”
He Chuan’s expression suddenly became abnormally cold, “Daring to collude with the Crown Prince to harm the royal descendant. Even if I kill you now, no one will be able to convict me of the crime!”
As he spoke, flames erupted in the room, and a scorching power instantly swept across the entire area, tightly enveloping them.
“Do you want to live, or do you want to die?”
It was as if a voice from the depths of hell had fallen.
Several people present could not help but shudder.
One of them felt that after looking at the City Lord and He Chuan back and forth, he would have to rely on himself if he wanted to live. He could not help but shout out loud.
“Your Highness! I’ll speak!”
“Very good.”
He Chuan’s gaze shifted, “What did the Crown Prince ask you to do?”
That person took a deep breath and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the City Lord’s loud shout.
“Shut up!”
The City Lord glared at him. “If you want to die, don’t drag us into it! You have to understand the Crown Prince’s and He Chuan’s identity!”
Hearing what he said, the man began to hesitate again.
That’s right, who is the Crown Prince?
The heir to the throne of the martial kingdom, high officials from all over the world, have to go up and fawn over him.
If he were to expose him, wouldn’t his entire family be implicated if he was found out?
After hesitating for a while, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Seeing this, the City Lord also heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at He Chuan with a smile.
“Your Highness, what do you think? Fight or kill, we will not have any complaints.”
“Then you can go to hell.”
He Chuan condensed the spiritual energy in his palm and was about to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys when suddenly, he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the meeting room.
His heart moved, and he circulated the spiritual energy to make the door automatically close.
The voice of the other party reported from outside very quickly.
“My Lord! Something bad has happened!”
He Chuan asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”
“The East City Wall has fallen!”
Hearing this, the City Lord’s expression changed drastically. He asked anxiously, “How is that possible? Didn’t I arrange for six fourth-stage spirit cultivators to guard it? There are also hundreds of magic cannons to cover the attack. How could it be broken through so quickly?”
“There’s a problem with the logistics. The supply of cannonballs has been cut off, resulting in a gap in the battle line. All the strange beasts nearby have attacked. The awakened ones in the city have suffered heavy casualties. They’ve all retreated to defend the inner city now.”
“You motherf*cker!”
The City Lord cursed, “How could there be a problem with the logistics? I’ve just received the reserve resources from the imperial court, and three hundred thousand crystals are gone just like that?”
“Sir… It’s because rat-type mutated beasts are attacking from underground, and there are no awakened ones guarding the warehouse. Even the quartermaster was wiped out…”
“F*ck, why didn’t you report this earlier?”
“You were the one who said that you wanted to hold a secret meeting and that no one was allowed to get close…”
“Then why didn’t you let the awakened ones investigate? Why did you wait until now to tell me?”
“You didn’t allow these external forces to get close to the storehouse, so we… didn’t dare decide on our own…”
“How’s the battle situation now?”
“All the fourth stage spirit cultivators have managed to escape. As for the rest… more than half of them died.”
It was over.
It was all over.
The City Lord took a deep breath, feeling as if the world had turned dark.
Freedom City was most proud of the indestructible defensive facilities in the outer city.
Now without the protection of this expensive equipment, how could the walls in the inner city, which were only made of stone, withstand the attack of the beast tide?
It was all He Chuan’s fault!
He would have taken charge of the overall situation if he had not come here!
How could such a big mistake happen?
The more the City Lord thought about it, the angrier he got. He could not help but look at He Chuan with a hateful gaze.
“Look at what you’ve done. Hehe, now no one can think of living anymore. Let’s die together!”
“Noisy.”
He Chuan snorted coldly. The flames on his hand condensed and quickly transformed into a long sharp arrow. It shot forward and went through the City Lord’s head.
The latter fell straight down as if he had been electrocuted.
The ten or so people beside him could not help but feel a chill down their spine when they saw this scene.
The Eighteenth Prince was not as gentle and refined as the rumors said.
He killed as he pleased without giving the other party a chance to struggle.
Then, the next moment, they saw He Chuan’s gaze slowly turn and look over.
“Do you want to live?” The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, like a smiling demon.
“Live? How?”
Someone sneered, “Now that the beast tide has broken through the city, we are like turtles in a jar. No one can think of leaving!”
“Is that so?”
He Chuan suddenly stomped on the ground with one foot and then used the rebound force to fly into the air.
He flies!
When he used this move, it immediately caused everyone present to turn pale.
“Do you still think that I can’t leave?”
No one said anything, and everyone was silent.
“Looks like you all don’t want to live anymore.” He Chuan shrugged indifferently, “Originally, I thought that you all still had some value and that it wasn’t impossible to bring you to Glory City to interrogate you for two days. But now, it seems that you don’t cherish this opportunity.”
At this moment, the expressions of several people changed.
The person who wanted to give up the Crown Prince immediately responded.
“If your highness can protect my family, feel free to ask me anything. I will definitely do my best!”
“Very good. From now on, follow my orders, understand?”
“Understand!”
“Alright.”
He Chuan snapped his fingers.
Instantly, the pressure on this person disappeared without a trace.
“Go, drag out those who had participated in the Crown Prince’s plot.”
The other party immediately took action, directly pushing the three people to the ground.
“Your Highness, it’s them. I only know the surface information of the matter between the Crown Prince and the City Lord. These few know more.”
