408: key
They watched helplessly as the Ancient Teleportation Array completely crumbled like an avalanche.
Everyone in the City was startled awake.
"The Teleportation Array is destroyed?!"
"Where are the Spiritual Array Masters?! Quickly go find the Spiritual Array Masters!"
As this unbelievable scene unfolded, the entire City was set in motion.
Third Prince's residence.
He hadn't slept long before the Third Prince was woken by Old Huang.
The news he heard next caused him to suddenly freeze.
"The Teleportation Array collapsed?"
Without even putting on an outer coat, the Third Prince quickly walked out of his room.
Because he was extremely concerned about the Teleportation Array, from his residence, he could see the Teleportation Array in the distance as soon as he stepped out of the house.
In the past, this Teleportation Array should have been in a state of misty flow, slowly revolving.
But at this moment.
The Teleportation Array in the Third Prince's eyes had completely turned into a pile of ruins!
The expert guards from the other two Three Kingdoms countries appeared one after another in the void outside the Ancient Teleportation Array.
And a large number of Spiritual Array Masters also rushed towards that place in a panic.
"Impossible! This can't be!"
The Third Prince stared blankly, and after reacting, he immediately looked at Old Huang: "Where is Su Brother? Quick, quickly go find Su Brother, he must have a way to repair it!"
"Array Master Su has already left through the Ancient Teleportation Array."
Old Huang sighed.
As one of the many powerhouses within the City, he had watched Su Yongchun step into the Teleportation Array from the void.
He had thought Su Yongchun was going to adjust the Array Formation, preparing for the final step of repair.
Unexpectedly, he actually repaired the Teleportation Array directly, used it to leave, and left behind a shattered Array Formation here!
"Su Brother left? Through the Array Formation?" The Third Prince didn't understand: "When repairing the Array Formation, Array Master Su made an operational error and was teleported away?"
Old Huang shook his head.
It was unclear if he was denying the Third Prince's words or indicating that he didn't know either.
After the Array Formation shattered, the entire City became operational.
And not long after.
Under the investigation led by Yang Wuwei, this Third-Rank Spirit Array Master, very bad news spread.
The Ancient Teleportation Array is completely destroyed!
It's even more thoroughly broken than before!
To repair it again would be extremely difficult!
It was also during this investigation that Yang Wuwei and the other Spiritual Array Masters discovered that this Ancient Teleportation Array was essentially an Array Formation that could not be fully repaired.
Its base was already completely damaged, and even if fully repaired, it could only support one use at most.
Su Yongchun knew this a long time ago, but he never mentioned it!
All of them were deceived!
Hearing this conclusion, the experts from the Three Kingdoms gathered here cursed inwardly.
However, even more, they thought of the future fury of the Lord of their respective countries.
After all.
Over the past month.
For the Three Kingdoms to repair this Ancient Teleportation Array, the resources invested were almost equivalent to a year's income of the national treasury!
Even the Whale Country, with Ghost Visage causing chaos in the world, gritted its teeth and provided a large amount of resources.
After investing so many resources, in the end, it was all for nothing.
It's not hard to imagine the anger of the monarchs of each country.
"Su Brother deceived us?" The Third Prince completely lost his composure upon hearing this series of events.
"It's you! The kid sent by your Whale Country has such a vicious mind!" The expert from the Feather Kingdom in front of the Third Prince was full of anger.
Beside him, the Life Tribulation Realm expert from the Ye Country, dressed in a green robe, also had his thick eyebrows knitted: "The Whale Country must compensate our two countries for the resources we expended! That guy was brought by your Whale Country!"
"And you bunch of useless people!" The Ye Country expert pointed at the many Spiritual Array Masters before him: "Such a serious problem, and you only discovered it now, causing our countries to waste how many resources for nothing?!"
The Ancient Teleportation Array is completely destroyed.
Even the Array Formation base that had been passed down from ancient times was completely shattered.
To accept the Ancient Teleportation Array now is no longer repairing, but re-laying!
Therefore, this place is completely Deprecated.
The next day.
The entire City was shrouded in an atmosphere of dead silence.
The experts from each country, along with their respective Spiritual Array Masters and official Soldiers, returned to the Imperial City of their own countries to report.
With the Array Formation base gone, this City before them had completely lost its value.
In just one day.
The people in the entire City gradually dispersed, and this place completely fell into desolation.
Whale Country, Imperial Palace.
The Old Emperor looked at the Third Prince kneeling before him and directly overturned the desk in front of him!
"Boom!"
The overturned desk fell in front of the Third Prince.
The Old Emperor completely disregarded the numerous officials around who were watching this scene, and suddenly erupted in anger: "Rebellious son! Rebellious son!"
"I trusted you so much, giving you full responsibility for that matter, and in the end, you give me such an answer!"
"Do you know that the Ye Country and the Feather Kingdom have already blamed the reason on my Whale Country?!"
"And! You stole my Royal Family's supreme God Martial Arts and gave it to an outsider! Do you really think I don't know about this? I just wanted to see when you would turn back and repent!"
"But you haven't mentioned confessing at all! My Royal Family has actually produced a scoundrel like you."
"Do you know that I, right now, want to kill you!"
Below the court, the Third Prince kneeling on the ground remained silent.
His expressionless eyes contained a heavy sense of weariness.
None of the surrounding officials dared to step forward to persuade him; in their hushed whispers, they all shook their heads.
They concluded that the Third Prince -- was poor at judging people.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of pent-up blood was spat out.
Amidst everyone's accusations and disgusted looks, the Third Prince fainted on the ground.
And even though he fell down in this great hall.
No one in the court dared to step forward to persuade him.
Seeing this, the Old Emperor showed no sign of his anger subsiding.
He sat on the throne and said coldly: "From today onwards, the Third Prince is stripped of all his assets and guards within the Imperial City, demoted to a Ninth-Rank County Guard, exiled to the coastal -- Dehe County, and is forbidden from entering the Imperial City for life, and his lifelong salary is confiscated! His Royal registration is removed!"
Royal registration removed!
Hearing this last point, the officials below were all deeply shocked.
This was the first person in the history of the Whale Country to be removed from the ancestral registry by the Emperor!
The severity of the punishment was no less than being granted death!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Although shocked, the officials still bowed and said in unison.
And around them, several Princes revealed a hint of a smile.
To them, the Third Prince was one of the strong competitors for the throne.
Now, this guy is completely finished, having lost the qualification to contend for the throne.
...
After the court session ended.
After the officials left, in the empty hall, only the Third Prince remained.
The Eunuchs kept their distance, not daring to have any involvement with him.
Finally.
It was Old Huang who entered the hall alone and brought the Third Prince back to his residence.
Slowly opening his eyes.
Lying on the bed, the Third Prince glanced at the Soldiers who had already arrived at the mansion to move things outside the window, then turned his head to look at Old Huang beside him.
"You should leave too.
My latter half of life is already set."
"They are right, I was poor at judging people and brought this upon myself."
Facing the Third Prince's pale voice, Old Huang's expression remained unchanged.
"Does Prince still remember that when that young friend Su left, he left a key for Prince?"
