521: Death

This seemed to be the first time she had seen him.

More accurately, before this, he had only seen his figure from a distance once.

That time, he had followed the Sixth Prince to a royal banquet.

The First Prince attended as a key figure.

He certainly had to attend.

However, he left after only two drinks.

Wang Changfeng didn't have much interaction with him, so he wasn't clear about his specific situation.

But at this moment, he truly felt the other party's oppression.

No wonder it was said that even with the Sixth Prince's wisdom, he was still suppressed and couldn't breathe.

Just from the Aura he displayed, the other party indeed possessed the bearing of an emperor.

In contrast, the Sixth Prince was far behind.

If he were to exclude his personal feelings for the Sixth Prince,

He would prioritize the First Prince between the two.

The gap was simply too large.

It wasn't just a superficial gap; there was also a gap in hard power in all aspects, and even from the perspective of their individual abilities, the difference was still significant.

However, for Wang Changfeng, there was no need to choose one person to pledge allegiance to at this time.

He only represented himself.

The Wang Family would not participate in the imperial succession struggle.

Although Wang Ming came this time, it was more about him helping him.

It also didn't involve the Wang Family.

He understood this clearly.

And he hoped the other side would also understand it clearly.

Just at this moment,

The First Prince stopped and slightly raised one hand.

The next moment, the army behind him immediately halted, all stopping in place.

Two guards followed on either side of the First Prince.

These two guards exuded the Aura of the True Immortal Realm.

They were clearly two more existences no weaker than Lu Cheng.

The First Prince casually glanced at the two members of the Wang Family.

He knew these two.

They had caused quite a stir recently.

Mainly because they were people who had Ascended from the Lower Realm, and they had also displayed extraordinary talent.

It was normal for them to attract attention.

Of course, for him, the reason he noticed them wasn't because of their talent.

With his status, he wouldn't bother paying attention to such unknown people.

The reason he knew about them wasn't from reports from his subordinates, but because their relationship with the Sixth Prince was mentioned.

He had simply learned a little by following the clues.

It wasn't even considered in-depth knowledge.

Seeing them at this moment, he naturally just gave them a passing glance.

He looked at the Sixth Prince.

“Sixth Brother, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

His tone was utterly indifferent.

There wasn't even the slightest emotional fluctuation visible in his eyes.

He exuded an air of nobility, and simply standing there gave people an immense sense of oppression.

That kind of indifference and confidence naturally marked him as a potential emperor.

The Sixth Prince stepped out from behind the crowd.

His gaze went straight to the First Prince.

His eyes held undisguised hatred.

“You, do you really intend to wipe us all out?”

“What do you mean, Sixth Brother? This elder brother doesn't understand.”

The First Prince spoke indifferently.

But this single sentence seemed to crush the Sixth Prince's spirit.

He immediately roared loudly.

“Putting on an act? Don't think I don't know how Mother died.”

“Oh! Tell me, how did your Mother die?”

The First Prince seemed to have taken an interest, asking with a hint of amusement.

The Sixth Prince immediately roared.

“Your people poisoned her.”

“Hahaha! Sixth Brother, don’t speak carelessly. I have always upheld filial piety. Even if she wasn't my birth mother, she was one of Father’s consorts. How could I do such a thing?”

“Sixth Brother, I think we have some misunderstandings from the past.”

As his voice fell,

A clang of metal rang out.

The Xuanjia Army soldiers behind him all drew their long sabers.

The clash of weapons emitted a chilling Killing Intent.

The cold gleam shot straight into the sky, almost scattering the clouds above.

This scene was extremely astonishing.

Wang Changfeng's eyes also flickered.

Clearly, this group of people truly Cultivated battle formation techniques.

This was a manifestation of their military soul.

If their coordination was good enough, the strength they could display would likely make it extremely difficult for him and Wang Ming combined.

Being able to escape would already be a blessing.

However, until that point, Wang Changfeng would temporarily not choose to leave alone.

He had made very few friends in his life.

In the Lower Realm, he was essentially a lone wolf.

He could barely find anyone to talk to apart from his clan members.

Now, having coincidentally befriended the Sixth Prince, he truly didn't want to abandon him unless absolutely necessary.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

The people who were fighting in other areas at this time all stopped.

The Sixth Prince's two guards also returned to his side.

They watched the army before them warily, a hint of bitterness in their eyes.

The disparity was too great.

Death seemed to be an inevitable option.

And they had no right to choose an alternative.

Of course, they hadn't failed to anticipate this day.

They just hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

Or so powerlessly.

The two of them sighed softly.

Then they pulled the Sixth Prince back behind them.

“Your Highness, please be careful.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Sixth Prince seemed like a deflated ball.

He took a sharp breath, then regained some rationality.

Where there's life, there's hope.

Although this saying was true, he seemed to have been evading all along his journey.

This time, he wasn't so eager to escape.

Although reason told him this was the right thing to do,

He was caught in indecision.

For a moment, he did not speak.

Seeing the Sixth Prince's demeanor, the two guards immediately looked at Wang Changfeng.

“Please take the Prince and leave. We will handle everything here. Even if they are numerous, we are confident in delaying them.”

Although these words were incredibly domineering,

The others all heard a hint of a death wish.

How could two people stop so many?

The only possibility of a slight delay would come from self-destruction.

For a time, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

And just at this moment, the Sixth Prince spoke again.

“I’m not leaving.”

“Sixth Prince, please don’t be like this. Don’t you want to avenge your Mother?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Sixth Prince's face instantly became ferocious.

Then he roared,

“Of course I want revenge! But what then? Am I to sacrifice you all? What would be the point?”

“I’ve run away too much along the way. Many people have already been sacrificed because of my concessions. Continuing to retreat will only lead to death. Let’s just stop.”

He let out a long sigh, and his expression became calm.

“This time, let me live and die with you all. At most, it’s just death. I imagine Elder Brother would be very happy to see this.”
