127: Chapter 127 Ready

It was just a matter of arresting a few powerless princes.

For the Embroidered Uniform Guard,

it was as easy as lifting a finger.

In just a moment,

all the princes who needed to be arrested were gathered in the Imperial Dynasty's prison.

Furthermore,

these princes at this time

all shared a commonality: their cultivation had been abolished, making them the only adult commoners in the entire Imperial Dynasty!

In truth,

when Wang Chen first ascended the throne,

these princes had indeed behaved for a while. After all, had they not begged for mercy quickly enough back then, Wang Chen likely would have killed them all.

However,

following Wang Chen's ascension, the Imperial Dynasty immediately entered a stage of rapid development.

Since then,

although Wang Chen had stripped them of their power, he did not make things difficult for them again.

As time passed,

the awe and fear in their hearts toward Wang Chen slowly faded. They began to believe that Wang Chen still cared about their brotherly bond.

It was precisely for this reason that they had degenerated into their current state.

The Imperial Capital Prison.

The deepest part, the 'Heaven' rank death row sector.

There were no windows here, only a faint glimmer of light that barely illuminated the narrow, damp corridor.

The air was thick with the scent of decay, blood, and despair.

The once noble princes, who had lived in luxury, were now curled up in different corners of their cells.

Their magnificent Python robes had long been stripped away and replaced with coarse, filthy prison uniforms. What terrified them even more was

that their Dantians were now empty. Their years of cultivation had been completely wiped out, and an unprecedented sense of weakness enveloped their entire bodies.

"Let me out! I want to see His Majesty! I am his biological brother! He can't do this to me!"

"We were wrong... we know we were wrong... Royal Brother, forgive us this once..."

"Your Majesty! How cruel your heart is! We are of the same Bloodline!"

"How does he dare... how does he really dare... we are the Imperial Family, we are brothers..."

"I want to see His Majesty, I beg of you, let me see His Majesty..."

...

At this moment, the various princes

no longer possessed their previous arrogance or hope. Under the cold, ruthless gaze of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they were already scared witless.

Seeing everything before them, they finally realized

that Wang Chen had never cared for any ridiculous brotherly affection.

His previous lack of interference was merely because they were like ants, not worth worrying about.

But once they crossed that invisible red line and violated the laws and majesty of the Imperial Dynasty, their so-called 'Imperial Bloodline' was worth absolutely nothing in Wang Chen's eyes.

Wailing.

Begging for mercy.

Regret...

All sorts of sounds echoed in the death row, blending into an ugly and miserable scene.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Wang Chen's Divine Thought had already taken all of this in.

His face showed neither sadness nor joy, as if he were watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.

Bloodline?

Family ties?

They were nothing!

He was originally a person who had undergone Transmigration; there was no emotional connection to speak of between him and these people.

Besides,

is there any family affection to speak of in an Imperial Family?

According to Wang Chen's thoughts, he had already given them one chance. Since they didn't cherish it themselves, they couldn't blame anyone else.

They still wanted to see him?

In their dreams!

However,

after pondering for a moment, Wang Chen decided to go and take a look at them.

"Very well, since this body still has one last thread of Karma with you all, I shall go and meet you to bring this to an end."

With a thought,

his figure instantly vanished from the throne.

This was the first time he had left the Imperial Palace since his ascension.

When he reappeared,

he was already standing outside the gates of the Imperial Capital Prison.

He wore a simple Black dragon robe and stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't emit any overbearing Aura, yet he naturally carried an indifference and majesty that stood above all things.

"Your... Your Majesty?"

The elite Embroidered Uniform Guard guarding the gate were first startled, then they all knelt on the ground together, their heads buried deep, not daring to look directly at him.

Their hearts were incredibly shocked; they never expected they would have the chance to see Wang Chen!

One must know

that in the entire Imperial Dynasty,

only a handful of people were qualified to meet Wang Chen.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard were Wang Chen's direct subordinates, aside from Ji Gang, the others had never seen Wang Chen.

Being able to see Wang Chen once

was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime...

Wang Chen nodded slightly to them and then stepped directly into the prison.

The sounds within the death row

stopped abruptly the moment he stepped inside.

All the prisoners, including the princes, felt as if their throats were being choked.

They looked with utter disbelief at the figure walking from the dark corridor, who seemed to carry ten thousand rays of light.

It's His Majesty!

He really came!

After a brief dead silence, there was an even more frantic commotion.

"Royal Brother! Royal Brother, save me! I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

"Your Majesty! Spare our lives! We were blinded by greed! For the sake of our late Imperial Father, spare us this once!"

"Your Majesty! You've finally come! Quickly release us! We are brothers! Do you really want to bear the infamy of slaughtering your own kin?!"

"Your Majesty! Spare me, this younger brother dares not do it again, spare me this once..."

...

Wang Chen stopped in the middle of the corridor, looking at everything before him with calm eyes.

Once,

before he obtained the System, these were the people he needed to be wary of.

But now,

he had become the person who could decide their life or death with a single word!

"I heard you wanted to see me?"

Wang Chen's voice wasn't loud, yet it made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

In just an instant,

the voices that had been incessantly begging for mercy came to a sudden halt.

It wasn't that they didn't want to beg anymore, but that they couldn't speak. The pressure emanating from Wang Chen was too powerful.

In the face of such pressure,

they couldn't even summon the courage to beg for mercy!

"I gave you opportunities, it was you who did not know how to cherish them. You cannot blame me!"

"As for infamy? Do you think I care?"

"Besides, can you still not see clearly? Since I ascended the throne, even wastes like you have Cultivated to the Great Grandmaster Realm. Do you think your deaths will have any impact on me?"

"After all, you are princes of my Tianxuan Dynasty. How can you still be so foolish..."

These words from Wang Chen

completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in the princes' hearts.

They finally understood.

The person before them had long since transcended the shackles of worldly ethics. His strength decided everything, and his will was not to be defied!

"No... don't... Royal Brother, spare my life..."

"Your Majesty! Give us one more chance, I beg of you..."

...

To their pleas for mercy,

Wang Chen paid no further attention. Instead, he turned and left directly, leaving behind only a cold judgment.

"Go on your way in peace. If there is a chance in the next life, be law-abiding commoners."

As his voice fell,

Wang Chen's figure had already vanished from their sight...

At the same time,

Master Guzhen had already set up the Formation on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

He was only waiting for Wang Chen's command

to directly activate the Formation and open the spatial passage to the Xingyuan Continent...
