"Nisshiki!"

"Where exactly did Hishiki and the others go?"

To the right, Prince Otsutsuki Yuhe began roaring his questions again.

In response, Natsume could not be bothered to deal with him.

He casually sneered:

"I don't know. I have no obligation to tell you. Figure it out yourself..."

"You!"

"What, you got the guts to make a move? Come at me in front of the whole family!"

Natsume remained relentlessly mocking.

He practically wished the other side would attack first and ignite a battle between the Royal Family and the Council.

Meanwhile, a large number of Forbidden Court Agency commanders and Forbidden Court Guards who had originally served under Hishiki, Qiong Shi, and the others also teleported to Natsume's side.

They proactively formed a guard around this "fake" Main Family elder.

Even if the elders they personally served were not here, protecting the dignity and interests of the [Main Family Council] was still one of their duties.

If they lacked even that much awareness, they would not be worthy of serving as dogs for the Main Family elders...

Seeing this, although Prince Otsutsuki Yuhe was so furious he was nearly exploding, he still had no choice but to swallow his anger for now.

Starting a battle between the Royal Family and the Council here—

he could not bear the blame for such a crime...

If it truly led to civil war, His Majesty King Zhenruo would definitely be the first to use him as an example.

"Tch, what a bunch of cowards!"

Seeing that the Royal Family side was still turtling up and enduring in silence, Natsume stopped paying attention to them.

He continued waiting patiently.

His main body and clone would arrive here very soon.

Once that happened, he could extricate himself

and enter the [Yellow Spring Realm].
