Protect Our Chief

Such power.

The scene instantly fell silent, with many showing astonished expressions.

This is a Divine Power Realm Black Tortoise Cultivator.

In the vast Saint Gu Worm Race, only the lineage of the Saintess can inherit divine power, and now that the Saintess has not stepped onto the Saint Path, only the Saint Gu Worm Celestial Silkworm can match it.

But while others were shocked, Prince Deshun, who had turned into a Personal Guard, and Emperor Longchang would not be frightened by such divine power. Especially Emperor Longchang, who was completely baffled.

"What, what, what?"

Why have Dexin and Xiao Limo shown up? And they even brought the Grand Marshal’s Guard Camp, known as the core assault force!

This elite Profound Armor Army is one of the most formidable in the entire Daqian Kingdom, second only to the most elite unit in my Imperial Guard.

They excel at coordinated strikes and assaults! Even a Divine Power Realm Cultivator could get entangled by their tactics and, without special means to escape, would ultimately be trapped and killed.

In this world, martial experts are indeed powerful, but armies are equally terrifying. Especially a well-trained force like the Profound Armor Army, which has been specially trained, many possess the capacity and techniques to kill superior enemies and trap them.

What stunned Emperor Longchang the most were the words from Prince Dexin’s mouth.

The Wang Family is made up of demons from the Demon Dynasty, who have bewitched me, the Great Emperor? And even controlled Emperor’s Son An?

A surge of anger and astonishment rose in Emperor Longchang’s chest.

What utter nonsense! When have I ever been bewitched by Wang Shouzhe? Dexin and the Grand Marshal keep calling out "leading troops to protect the king", which is clearly an excuse for rebellion?!

"Wang Shouzhe, what is going on here?" Emperor Longchang, originally enjoying the show, suddenly faced such an annoying scene and naturally transmitted his question with some suspicion to Wang Shouzhe.

"Well... Your Majesty." Wang Shouzhe sighed as he replied with transmission, "From the Prince’s perspective, he’s not just suspicious of me, no, he’s convinced that I’m a demon from the Demon Dynasty, using evil techniques to bewitch Your Majesty and Emperor’s Son An. This time he’s come specifically to eliminate the evil and support the king."

"Nonsense, I’m not deaf; you don’t need to repeat it. I’m asking why does Dexin think you’re a demon?" Emperor Longchang scolded rather irritably.

"Your Majesty, I’m not some worm in the Prince’s belly," Wang Shouzhe replied helplessly, "Perhaps he feels somewhat wronged from losing in the Struggle of the Imperial Sons and wants to take this opportunity to turn the tables."

"What do you mean ’perhaps’? I think that’s exactly what he means! Using the slogan of eliminating evil to protect the king to knock off you, the demon, and Emperor’s Son An, then fabricate a bunch of evidence that says you, the demon, killed Emperor’s Son An while resisting." Emperor Longchang, after all, is experienced with conspiracies and could analyze it quite accurately.

"Your Majesty is wise, but could Your Majesty stop using the term ’demon’ to refer to Shouzhe?" Wang Shouzhe protested, "It sounds quite harsh."

"I have no time for your jokes right now, this nonsense from Dexin is utterly absurd. Luckily, I decided on a whim to come and join your spectacle." Emperor Longchang couldn’t contain his internal anger as he transmitted his words, "Rest assured, with me here, no one can turn the heavens upside down. Stand by the side and let me deal with Dexin."

"Your Majesty, calm down; I haven’t ’pleaded’ or ’thrown a cup as a signal’ yet." Wang Shouzhe interrupted the Emperor, "Your Majesty, please settle down and let’s assess the situation first."

"Assess the situation?" Emperor Longchang widened his eyes.

"Now that the Grand Marshal and the Personal Guard Camp are involved, we don’t know if they’re bewitched by Dexin or simply conspiring." Wang Shouzhe calmly said, "Let’s wait and see; after all, with Your Majesty here, there’s no fear of them overturning the heavens."

"Indeed. It’s fortunate that I stuck with you, fortunately, you initially didn’t want me to come along." Emperor Longchang suppressed his emotions temporarily and murmured.

No matter what Emperor Longchang and Wang Shouzhe were discussing.

Within this brief exchange, Prince Dexin and Grand Marshal Xiao Limo, leading the Grand Marshal’s Guard Camp, had proceeded to the altar.

The mighty presence of the Divine Power Realm experts and the Personal Guard Camp controlled the atmosphere.

Even the elders supporting Saintess Jing turned pale.

Elder Qi stepped forward, looked up at the sky, and said, "Prince Dexin, Grand Marshal Xiao. We made a truce a few days ago through our envoys. Today is the inauguration of our Saintess, and you’ve broken the gates of our Gu God Village, coming with such aggression..."

Elder Qi’s words were interrupted by Prince Dexin: "Your so-called Saintess Jing is merely one of the demon clan from the Wang Family. Today we will exterminate all the Wang Family demons, and that Demoness can’t escape!"

"Elder Qi, so Wang Luojing was a demoness from the Demon Dynasty; no wonder she could bewitch the former Saintess Dai." Elder Ga said, "Fortunately, the Gu God protected us by exposing Wang Luojing’s identity at the crucial moment."

"That’s nonsense! That Dexin is from the Qian Kingdom; just because he says Saintess Jing is a demoness, does it make it true?" Elder Chan angrily said.

The elders of the Barbarian Gu Race were about to argue when Emperor’s Son An raised his hand to silence everyone.

He stood up calmly, his gaze coldly sweeping over the hundreds of Personal Guard Camp soldiers: "Your primary allegiance is to the Great Emperor, with the contemporary Emperor’s Son as the second priority."

"Today, with the Great Emperor absent, naturally I, as the Emperor’s Son, take precedence on the scene. As the Emperor’s Son, I order you to immediately take down Prince Dexin."
