force!

Chu Xinghe stood in place without moving, and Cang Hai did the same.

The two of them appeared motionless, but their ears were already pricked up.

Hearing that man's soul-stirring voice.

Chu Xinghe and Cang Hai looked at each other.

There was admiration in their eyes.

Truly impressive.

The two of them seriously suspected that he was using his wife as bait.

The two of them retracted their gazes and walked toward the palace.

With the death of the Black Tortoise Divine General,

the palace had already received the news.

The sudden death of a guarding Divine General was a major event.

Moreover, the Aura displayed by the Divine General earlier had already alarmed many people.

The roar of Yao Beasts suddenly echoed on the streets.

Rumble, rumble.

The ground began to vibrate.

A black torrent appeared in the distance of the street.

A thousand heavy-armored soldiers appeared.

Their entire bodies were wrapped in black armor, leaving only two eyes exposed.

Even the beasts they rode were encased in armor.

As these heavy-armored troops arrived, a chilling, heavy pressure rushed toward them.

The leader also wore black armor, but the difference was a Black Tortoise carved on his chest.

A thousand people riding heavy-armored Yao Beasts stood there.

It gave off a powerful sense of oppression.

A timid person would be scared to death with just one look.

The leader looked at the Black Tortoise Divine General who was pinned to the ground.

He turned his head to look at Chu Xinghe and Cang Hai.

He did not dismount.

"Greetings, Third Highness. I wonder what Your Highness means by this?"

Cang Hai did not answer the general's words.

"Master, this is the Black Tortoise Army. The leader is the Black Tortoise Vice-General, at the Supreme Realm, capable of forming a very strong defensive battle formation."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

"Third Highness, follow me into the palace to have an audience with Your Majesty."

Cang Hai shook his head.

"This subordinate must offend you then."

The Black Tortoise Vice-General waved his hand, and four people dismounted, intending to arrest Cang Hai.

Before Chu Xinghe could even speak,

Chaos, who was sleeping on his shoulder, had already opened its eyes.

The thousand Yao Beasts became restless and anxious.

Thump, thump.

The Yao Beasts suddenly knelt down.

The soldiers riding on them were also startled.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly and did not fall to the ground.

The Vice-General floated in the Void Realm, shock in his eyes.

"Return! Form the formation, Black Tortoise Array!"

The Vice-General had a bad premonition in his heart.

Hum, hum, hum.

dao rhymes intertwined.

A thousand-zhang black tortoise floated in the Void Realm, stepping on heaven and earth.

It roared toward the sky.

Chaos floated down from Chu Xinghe's shoulder.

Roar!

Bang.

The sound spread out like a stormy sea, or a volcanic eruption.

The shops on both sides were unharmed, but the thousand-zhang tortoise in the sky directly dissipated.

The Vice-General spat out blood and fell to his knees.

Those soldiers couldn't bear it and exploded into bloody mist one after another.

The smell of blood spread across Black Tortoise Street.

Chaos flew back to Chu Xinghe's shoulder and rubbed against his face.

Chu Xinghe patted Chaos's head.

Seeing the message of the blocked road,

Cang Hai led Chu Xinghe and continued walking toward the palace.

The Vice-General knelt right next to the Black Tortoise Divine General.

Chu Xinghe passed by them.

He walked out of Black Tortoise Street.

Rows of soldiers stood ready in formation.

Densely packed experts floated in the sky.

Even the Cang Ming Emperor Lord had come out.

Sitting on his throne, he looked coldly at the approaching Chu Xinghe.

Beside him, guards were holding a woman; her face was pale and her cheeks were thin.

When she saw Cang Hai, her eyes became excited.

Cang Hai also noticed her.

That was his mother, the Imperial Concubine.

The Cang Ming Emperor Lord looked at Cang Hai: "Among so many sons, I didn't expect a rebellious one to appear."

Cang Hai looked at the Cang Ming Emperor Lord: "You dog thing, let go of my mother."

Cang Ming snorted coldly: "Cang Hai, are you sure you want to defect from the Cangming Celestial Dynasty?"

Cang Hai stepped forward, his hands clenched tightly.

"The Cangming Celestial Dynasty is a place where even a dog wouldn't want to stay. You plot against your son, plot against your own woman, ignore the suffering of the people, kill good ministers for military power, and deliberately stir up conflicts between the major clans to consolidate your position.

Four major forces occupy Cang Province. You don't think about strengthening the country's power or dominating the entire Cang Province; you only want to act like a tyrant in this tiny place.

You still want to restore the glory of the Cangming Celestial Dynasty? You are nothing. You are selfish, narrow-minded, intolerant, and have the short-sightedness of a fool.

Of those who helped you ascend to that position back then, how many had a good end? Do you think everyone is a fool?

You support some brainless idiots to act as your blades, which is chilling. The entire court is a foul mess, filled with all sorts of monsters and demons.

Those people are greedy and lustful, and the people are boiling with resentment, yet you act as if you don't see it.

You've always thought that once you've settled everything and all the power is in your hands, you can make drastic changes.

Little do you know you are spinning a cocoon around yourself; it's utterly stupid.

Look at when we came through Black Tortoise Street.

How many princes and ministers live there? The Black Tortoise Guards died in battle, and not one person stepped forward.

Furthermore, not a single commoner stood up.

And yet you are still here, smug and self-satisfied.

You still think you have all the court officials in the palm of your hand.

If it weren't for those few Old Ancestors sitting in the Forbidden Ground, the Cangming Celestial Dynasty would have been replaced long ago.

You are an unprecedented failure of the Cangming Celestial Dynasty, the most foolish Emperor Lord.

Opinionated and stubborn, don't you know that an Emperor Lord doesn't need great talent, just the ability to use people? You delusionally want to grasp everything in your own hands; you've long since put the cart before the horse.

Conceited, thinking you know everything—why is it that for so many years, you haven't even been able to break through to the Late Stage Quasi-Emperor?

To plot against my maternal grandfather, you tried again and again, one scheme after another.

If it weren't for the people of Cangming, my grandfather would have entered the palace long ago and cut off your head with a single blade.

If one person dies, Cangming won't fall into Chaos, yet you are unaware and plot repeatedly.

You make your sons fight each other, make the concubines in the harem fight, and make the ministers in the court fight.

You never thought about the ruler and ministers being of one mind, or father and son being of one mind, to develop the Cangming Celestial Dynasty and expand outward.

You are incompetent, ignorant, and useless."

The Cang Ming Emperor Lord's expression remained unchanged.

A surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Heh, you certainly have a sharp tongue!"

Cang Hai sneered: "I'm far behind you."

The Cang Ming Emperor Lord looked at Chu Xinghe, his eyes filled with wariness.

"You are the source of my son's confidence."

Chu Xinghe looked at the Cang Ming Emperor Lord.

"Kneel down!"

As the words fell,

a surge of Heavenly Might descended.

The entire throne suddenly shattered.

The Cang Ming Emperor Lord spat out a mouthful of blood with a splash.

With a thump,

he fell to his knees.

The entire palace was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard; there was utter silence.

They all looked at the Emperor Lord in horror.

With just one sentence, he really knelt.

Cang Hai was also a bit caught off guard.

He knew his Master was very strong.

He hadn't expected him to be strong to this extent.

There was even Dragon Luck present here.

Chu Xinghe made a casual beckoning motion.

Cang Hai's mother floated directly over.

Cang Hai supported his mother.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Wei Qingsi shook her head.

"Mother, this is my Master."

Surprise showed in Wei Qingsi's eyes.

"How bold!"

"Do you really think my Cangming Celestial Dynasty has no one?"

Rumble.

The sky shattered.

A tyrannical Aura oppressed the firmament.

Thunderclouds flickered in the sky.

Four people were already floating in the Void Realm.

They looked down at Chu Xinghe from above.

Chu Xinghe's eyes moved slightly.

"I don't like craning my neck to speak."

As the words fell,

this part of the world suddenly sank.

With a thump, the four people fell from the sky.

Splurt.

Blood splattered six feet; as expected of Late Stage Quasi-Emperor experts,

they spray quite far.
