Evil Lord, who had charged all the way to Yuanjue Temple, was now filled with a surge of fury.
With the Left Prime Minister's information and cooperation, he had successfully infiltrated the palace and killed the Emperor.
At the same time, he had arranged for Blood Hand Butcher, that heretical Grandmaster, to work with Poisonous Beauty to escort the Seventh Prince out of the capital and bring him to the rebel gathering grounds long prepared in the south, leaving the remaining princes in the capital to fight among themselves.
Once they had exhausted themselves, it would be the perfect time for the Seventh Prince to raise his banner in the name of righteousness and sweep across the realm.
Only after completing the great purge could the Holy Sect truly welcome its rightful orthodoxy!
And he himself could become the Holy Sect's new generation of Demon Lord, standing above all under heaven.
Pacify the realm, conquer the grasslands, unify the Holy Sect, then shatter the void!
Everything had been going smoothly.
But Temo's Blood Hand Butcher had suddenly killed the Seventh Prince.
He had simply grabbed him by the throat and snapped it, as easily as slaughtering a chicken!
It nearly drove Evil Lord mad.
Yet at that very moment, a fist expert under the Third Prince had also arrived and joined the other side in holding him back.
The two of them working together had actually prevented him from gaining the upper hand!
He had killed the Emperor. No matter who ascended the throne, there would be no place for him in this world.
Several Grandmasters were still alive, and every one of them had reason to kill him.
His only chance now was to seize the Demon Lord's Relic, use it as an opportunity to break through to Grandmaster,
