112: Is Tianhai King forcing the emperor to abdicate?

Half an hour later, the night was deep, and the depths of the Imperial Palace should have been silent.

However, a violent and terrifying aura, mixed with monstrous killing intent, suddenly rushed into the Imperial Palace!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A towering figure, dressed in dark gold Dragon-patterned royal robes, charged straight toward the depths of the inner palace!

Wherever he passed, the imperial guards who tried to stop him were sent flying, vomiting blood from the majestic Qi force radiating from his body.

No one could stop him for even half a step!

The person who arrived was none other than King Tianhai—Chu Tianhai!

His face was resolute, his features sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, and his tiger-like eyes were currently crimson as blood, filled with endless violence.

The Evil Qi from his long military career, mixed with the terrifying pressure of the Saint Venerable Realm, made him look like a vengeful demon god returned from Hell!

"King Tianhai! Please stop! Your Majesty has already retired; if you have any urgent matters, please discuss them at tomorrow's morning court!"

Qin Yulian's figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

"Retired?"

Chu Tianhai let out a sorrowful and angry roar, the sound wave causing the palace walls to rustle.

"My son Qinglin... he is already dead! His body is not yet cold! How can you expect this King to wait until tomorrow?"

"Today, even if Chu Yuehua herself comes forward, she shall not protect the murderer who killed my son! Get out of my way!"

Qin Yulian forced herself to muster her Spiritual Qi, not giving an inch: "King Tianhai, this is the Forbidden Ground of the inner palace!"

"If you continue to be so reckless, do not blame Yulian for being impolite!"

"Impolite? Just based on you?"

Chu Tianhai laughed in extreme anger, his eyes filled with contempt.

"A mere maid, and you dare to stop this King?"

"Scram!"

He struck out with his palm casually, seemingly effortless, yet it contained the earth-shattering power of a Saint Venerable!

Qin Yulian gritted her teeth and met the palm with all her might!

"Bang!"

As their palms clashed, Qin Yulian's delicate body shook violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing heavily into a distant palace wall, her aura instantly wilting.

Looking at the unstoppable Chu Tianhai, her eyes were filled with shock and helplessness: "Saint Venerable... you have actually stepped into the Saint Venerable Realm! Only one step away from the Quasi-Emperor..."

"Those who block me, die!"

Chu Tianhai roared, not even glancing at Qin Yulian.

The terrifying pressure of the Saint Venerable spread like a tangible tsunami, forcing the dozens of Saint King experts who arrived later to retreat; they could not even get within a hundred zhang of him!

"My son Qinglin is dead. I have no interest in explaining right or wrong; those who block me die!"

Like a crazed savage Dragon, he ignored all palace rules and etiquette, charging straight ahead.

The entire Imperial Guard of the palace was mobilized, forming a killing Formation and approaching, ready for battle.

More and more experts gathered, one killing Formation after another was activated, and the entire palace began to boil.

Qin Yulian's face was pale, and she looked toward a figure in the distance, saying, "General Ye, follow him, do not make a move!"

Chu Tianhai was too strong!

His strength was likely only suppressible by those old monsters deep within the palace.

Those who had not made a move were clearly waiting to see how the new Emperor, Chu Yuehua, would handle this.

Chu Tianhai finally arrived in front of the palace complex where Chu Yuehua's sleeping quarters were located and stopped.

The palace was brightly lit, and there was no movement.

This was because a Formation was isolating everything!

Chu Tianhai suppressed the urge to rush in immediately and stood outside the hall, channeling his Spiritual Qi, his voice booming like muffled thunder against the closed palace gates.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your subject, King Tianhai Chu Tianhai, requests an audience!"

The voice echoed in the empty courtyard, filled with grief and indignation!

After a moment of silence, Chu Yuehua's cold voice slowly emanated from the hall, carrying a hint of displeasure.

"This Emperor is tired and has already rested. If there are urgent matters, discuss them at tomorrow's morning court."

"Tomorrow?"

Chu Tianhai's fists clenched suddenly, his knuckles popping, and his aura surged uncontrollably, causing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the entire courtyard to become chaotic, twisting the space!

He could no longer hold back; his powerful Divine Sense surged like a tide, forcibly probing into the sleeping quarters, attempting to perceive the situation inside!

However, the moment his Divine Sense touched the outskirts of the palace, it was instantly blocked by an invisible Formation light curtain!

An even greater force struck back fiercely!

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, Chu Tianhai let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth; his Divine Sense had been injured!

A flash of shock crossed his eyes; the defense of this sleeping quarter was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

This only ignited his anger and unwillingness further; ignoring all caution, he questioned:

"Your Majesty! That good disciple of yours, Qin Wushang! In the capital, under the eyes of everyone, he cruelly killed Qinglin!"

"Qinglin is your own nephew! Does Your Majesty intend to shield a murderer, disregarding family ties and ignoring national Law for the sake of an outsider?"

The hall was silent for a moment, then Chu Yuehua's voice came out again, still cold, but sounding slightly wrong.

She seemed to be enduring something!

"Mmm~ Mmm~ Withdraw."

Chu Tianhai's face was so dark it could drip water; he went all out, continuing to shout sternly: "Your Majesty! Even if a Son of Heaven breaks the Law, he is punished the same as a commoner!"

"That Qin Wushang is merely an outcast of the Qin Clan; just because he has gained your favor, can he wantonly kill members of the royal family without paying the price?"

"How can this convince the people of the world? How can this chill the hearts of your subjects?"

The reason he took so long to act was that he had investigated Qin Wushang the moment he received the news.

Learning his identity made him incredibly furious!

A mere outcast of the Qin Clan dared to kill his, Chu Tianhai's, son; this was unforgivable!

"Mmm~ This Emperor commands you to withdraw!"

Chu Yuehua's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of biting coldness, "Are you deaf?"

"Chu Yuehua!"

Chu Tianhai finally tore off the mask of civility, calling her by her name?

"Qinglin is your nephew! He flows with the same blood as you! He is dead! And you are so indifferent?"

"Are you truly going to protect an outsider and disregard the blood feud of your own kin?"

"That was his own doing!"

Chu Yuehua's cold voice came from inside the hall.

"Now, immediately, get out of the inner palace! Otherwise, do not blame this Emperor... mmm~... for not considering our sibling relationship!"

"His own doing?"

"What a fine 'his own doing'! Hahaha!"

Chu Tianhai laughed loudly, the last shred of reason in his eyes drowned by monstrous anger; he stared viciously at the closed palace gates, roaring word by word.

"Chu Yuehua! Since you are so heartless today, do not blame me, Chu Tianhai, for being unrighteous in the future!"

"The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable!"

"You cannot protect him!!"

"Boom!!!"

Before his words had faded, the palace gates did not open, but a condensed, extremely blue ice sword pierced through the Formation of the palace gate and struck him fiercely!

This sword contained the Dao Law of a Quasi-Emperor!

It possessed a trace of Great Emperor might!

Chu Tianhai's pupils constricted, and he exerted his Saint Venerable cultivation to the limit to resist, throwing a punch!

"Bang!"

As the ice sword fell, his Protective Aura shattered like paper, and he spat out blood, his body crashing heavily into the square in the distance.

The square exploded, forming a large pit, and that terrifying sword mark seemed to have parted the earth down the middle.

Chu Tianhai lay there, his chest bones visible, blood staining the earth red.

At the same time, Chu Yuehua's voice, filled with endless majesty, clearly entered his ears.

"As a father, you know best what your son did in the capital!"

"Dare to be so presumptuous again..."

"Die!"

Out of consideration for their sibling bond, she ultimately did not deliver the killing blow to end him.
