Three Imperial Cities, the sky was still not clear after a heavy rain, and the dreary atmosphere was so depressing that it made people unable to breathe.
Imperial Guards and demon guards can be seen everywhere in the city. The entire imperial city is under martial law, and everyone entering and exiting must undergo strict inspection.
In one night, several important places of the royal family suffered heavy losses, and one Imperial Prince was assassinated, and the whole family was massacred.
Third Prince's forces were hit hard, and for a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the First Prince's Manor.
"What's going on!"
In the First Prince's Manor, Xuanzhen looked at the spy in front and said coldly.
"Your Highness, in addition to our people, there were other people who took action last night. His Highness Eighth Prince died at the hands of these people." A figure in black responded respectfully in front.
"Fish in troubled waters!"
Xuanzhen looked cold and said, "Can you find out where these people come from?"
"There are no clues yet."
The figure in black replied, "Last night's heavy rain washed away all traces. When our people evacuated, those people also left."
Xuanzhen looked at the imperial city, with a cold light pulsing in his eyes. There was no doubt that someone had accurately calculated his behavior and had been prepared for it.
This time, Lao Ba's death will definitely be blamed on him, which is troublesome.
Outside Crown Prince's Estate, Xuan Mo came with four teams of Imperial Guards, looking at Crown Prince's Estate ahead, his face became solemn.
"Please also report to His Highness, Xuan Mo, asking for an audience."
In front of the house, Xuan Mo looked at the two guards in front and said.
"Commander, please wait a moment."
A guard replied, walking quickly into Crown Prince's Estate.
Inside Crown Prince's Estate, Xuanzhen stood quietly. The guard came over and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, Xuan Mo, the commander-in-chief is outside asking for an audience."
"Please come in."
Xuanzhen said calmly.
"Yes!"
The guard took the order, turned around and walked back.
In front of the mansion, the guard stepped forward and said respectfully, "Commander, Your Highness invites you."
"Thank you."
Xuan Mo said something, looked at Imperial Guards behind him, and said, "You guys wait here, and you are not allowed to act without my order."
"Yes!"
The four teams Imperial Guards all took orders.
Xuan Mo turned around and walked directly into Crown Prince's Estate.
Inside the mansion, the ruined hall was still in repair. Xuanzhen stood in front, looked at the visitor, and said, "Commander, you are well."
"Your Highness."
Xuan Mo bowed respectfully and said, "I am here to inquire about something."
"Commander, please speak." Xuanzhen responded.
"Your Highness may recognize this object."
Xuan Mo waved his hand, and a black scimitar appeared, with a cold blade that pierced the heart.
"Black Moon Sword."
Xuanzhen's brows narrowed slightly and he said, "The weapons of my personal guards."
"This knife was found in Eighth Prince's house last night. Do you have any explanation for it, Your Highness?" Xuan Mo said seriously.
"Framing."
Xuanzhen said calmly, "The commander-in-chief should not be able to miss such an obvious frame-up."
"Your Highness, I can only act according to the rules. This black moon sword appears in Eighth Prince, and it is difficult for Your Highness to escape suspicion."
Xuan Mo looked at the royal family First Prince in front of him and said seriously, "If His Highness cannot give Wei Chen a reasonable explanation, Wei Chen will have no choice but to offend him."
When Xuanzhen heard this, his expression darkened, and he said, "Commander, is it too much to pin this crime on His Highness with just a knife without any real evidence?" "First Imperial Brother This is wrong."
At this moment, in the First Prince's Manor, a luxurious figure with a slightly sinister appearance stepped in, and his powerful aura was infinitely close to the king's realm, which was extraordinary.
"Laojiu!"
Xuanzhen frowned, why did he come?
"I've seen First Imperial Brother."
Xuan Que stepped forward, bowed politely, and said.
"Ninth brother, what's the matter with coming here?"
Xuanzhen said in a condensed voice.
"Brother, the emperor is responsible for the criminal law and public security of the imperial city. Such a big thing happened, so I had to come and take a look."
After finishing speaking, Xuan Que looked at the black scimitar in Xuan Mo's hand and said, "If the emperor's brother is not mistaken, this black moon sword should be the unique weapon of the emperor's personal guard."
"So what?"
Xuanzhen said in a deep voice, "Although the forging method of the Black Moon Sword is a secret of the royal family, it is not really impossible to imitate. This matter is obviously framed by someone. If the emperor has time, he should find a way to find the murderer instead of wasting energy here."
"The emperor will naturally find out who the murderer is. However, while the emperor is investigating the truth, I feel sorry for First Imperial Brother and should not leave Crown Prince's Estate." Xuan Que said calmly.
Xuan Que heard this, his expression turned cold and he said, "Ninth brother, do you mean to put me under house arrest as a brother?"
"Don't dare."
Xuan Que said calmly, "I just hope that First Imperial Brother will cooperate with the investigation like Third Imperial Brother. At least, he will not leave the house again until the suspicion is cleared."
On the side, Xuan Mo quietly looked at the two Imperial Prince in front of him, with a strange color flashing in his eyes. Why didn't he realize that this Ninth Prince had such a tough side before? Xuan Que's performance today really impressed him.
With the status of First Prince, Ninth Prince dares to step into Crown Prince's Estate today, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"His Highness the Crown Prince, it is your duty, please don't embarrass me and His Highness Ninth Prince."
Xuan Mo gathered his thoughts, looked at the royal family First Prince in front of him, and said seriously.
Xuanzhen frowned again and again. Even as a prince, he had to think carefully when faced with the coercion of a Imperial Guards Commander and a powerful Imperial Prince.
Just when the atmosphere in the mansion was at a stalemate, Demonic Qi surged in the void, and an illusory figure appeared, with a powerful aura that made people look at him.
"First Prince accepts the order."
In the void, the new Messenger Envoy spoke.
When Xuanzhen heard this, he immediately saluted respectfully.
"Demon Emperor Imperial Decree, from now on First Prince Xuanzhen is not allowed to leave the house even half a step. If he disobeys, he will be severely punished!" Messenger Envoy said calmly.
"My lord, accept the order!"
Xuanzhen accepted the order in a deep voice, looked at Messenger Envoy in the void, and said solemnly, "Master Messenger Envoy, please send a message to the two Demon Emperors. This matter was deliberately framed. I hope the two Demon Emperors will understand clearly."
"I will bring your Majesty's words and say goodbye."
As he spoke, above the void, Demonic Qi converged, and Messenger Envoy's figure faded and disappeared.
Inside Crown Prince's Estate, Xuan Mo and Xuan Que recovered from their surprise and left one after another without staying any longer.
Unexpectedly, the two Demon Emperors learned the news so quickly. After Third Prince, even First Prince was placed under house arrest.
When he left the house, a cold expression flashed across Xuan Que's lips. Next, as long as First Prince is found guilty of murdering Eighth Prince, even if Xuanzhen's hands and eyes are powerful, it will be difficult to save the defeat.
After leaving the house, Xuan Mo, who had gone against the grain, looked back and looked at the First Prince's Manor behind him, his expression slightly condensed. Is it a coincidence? In just a few days, the two princes were put under house arrest one after another. This has never happened in the entire history of the Heavenly Demon Clan.
While thinking, Xuan Mo's expression suddenly shook, and he looked at Ninth Prince who was walking away. Today, Ninth Prince's behavior was also unusual.
Heavy clouds were weighing on his head, and Xuan Mo's face became darker and darker. Is there someone who is leading all of this? If so, then this person is really terrible.
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, the white-haired figure stood quietly in front of the palace, dressed in plain clothes, not stained by any dust.
In the rear hall, Shi Yu looked at the white-haired man in front of him, his beautiful eyes gradually getting lost.
She and Shi Qing witnessed everything that happened these days with their own eyes. While they were frightened, they also felt a little bit expectant.
She didn't care what happened to the imperial city. She wanted to know how far His Highness could go to defeat the two princes by himself?
"Shi Yu"
Ning Chen looked at the cloudy sky outside and said, "Actually, the world outside is very big. There is really no need for you to be trapped in this small cage."
Behind, Shi Yu heard the words, confusion flashed across his face, and he did not understand the meaning of the former's words.
Ning Chen looked at the woman in the palace and said softly, "One day in the future, you will meet the right person. You will fall in love with him and have a happy conversation with him. You will tell him all your happy and unhappy things, cry seriously, laugh seriously, and live seriously. I hope you live a more real life than you do now, Shi Yu, leave."
Shi Yu had tears in his eyes and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I don't want to leave."
"Habits always make people reluctant to give up, but trying a new life is what you and Shi Qing should do."
Ning Chen sighed, "If one day, I leave Crown Prince's Estate, where will you and Shi Qing go?"
Shi Yu His body was shaken, his eyes showed disbelief, His Highness was about to leave.
"You have been with me for so long, and I don't want you to live an unhappy life in the future, Shi Yu. It's time to seriously think about what kind of life you want." Ning Chen reminded.
Just when the imperial city was in chaos, the northern witch clan, Twelve Witch Queens, led the witch clan's army southward, and their overwhelming momentum shocked the world.
After the Wu Clan sent out troops, Divine Capital Mountain, Western Sacred Domain, and the three royal families of the Stone Clan from the east, west, and middle responded immediately. Divine Capital Mountain, the seven great generals, the Lord of the Twelve Palaces of the Holy Domain, and Six Sacred Protectors of the Stone Clan sent out most of their troops to attack Primeval Demonic Realm.
Not long after the four royal families sent out troops, a majestic voice sounded in Purple Scale Abyss in the southern continent, spreading throughout the entire royal family.
"Send troops!"
"Yes"
Four of the eight kings of the Scale Clan took the order and led the army northward.
The five royal families jointly sent troops, and Primeval Demonic Realm all sides, the war immediately broke out. Before they could recover, the armies of the five royal families had already entered the territory of the Demon Realm.
Three Imperial Cities, the news that the five royal families invaded the Demon Realm spread quickly, and in less than a day, the whole world knew about it.
For a moment, everyone from the royal family to the common people were shocked. The five royal families joined forces to attack the Demon Realm. How could this happen?
Thirteenth Prince's Manor, Ning Chen didn't have much joy on their faces after hearing the news.
After planning for so many days, the four royal families finally sent out troops.
However, there was one group of people that he could never trust.
This clan is the Scale clan!
The Scale Clan was the first clan to invade the world, and it was very likely that even the passage between the two realms was opened by the Scale Clan. Regarding the attack on Outer Heavens, the Scale Clan and Heavenly Demon Royal Clan undoubtedly had the same views, so he could not trust this clan.
This is also the reason why he lobbied the four royal families but never got rid of the Scale Clan.
However, he did not inform the other four royal families of these concerns.
The result he wants is that Primeval Demonic Realm's vitality will be severely damaged, not only Heavenly Demon Royal Clan, but even the five major royal families are no exception.
