Guan Mama watched the few people nervously, knowing that she had to fight desperately, but the key was that even a desperate fight might not be enough to defeat them.
"Your Highness, wait for the right moment to run," Guan Mama transmitted anxiously.
The Eldest Princess's expression also turned grave; it seemed the Emperor had truly gone mad.
"Run? I can't escape. I want to see if he really dares to kill me," the Eldest Princess said coldly. Her eyes were fixed on the old Emperor; if he killed her, his reign would come to an end as well.
Suddenly, she raised her right hand, holding a translucent jade pendant that was clearly no ordinary item.
"Guan Mama, come here," the Eldest Princess said in a calm tone.
Guan Mama was taken aback and turned to look at the Eldest Princess in confusion. At a time like this, was she really not going to resist? Was she just waiting for death?
"Did you not hear what I said?" the Eldest Princess said coldly.
With no choice, Guan Mama walked behind the Eldest Princess, remaining vigilant as she watched the three approaching figures, ready to act at any moment.
The Eldest Princess then looked at the old Emperor. "I won't resist. You know what this jade pendant is, right? If I die, I want to see what your fate will be."
The old Emperor stared at the pendant, his pupils contracting; of course he knew what it was. It was given to the Eldest Princess after she broke through to the Yuan Shen Realm by someone from the forbidden area. The ancestor from that place had warned him back then.
Wait a minute—the old Emperor ultimately hesitated; after all, he was just an ordinary person without cultivation.
Wei Guo Gong and Xian Guo Gong both stopped in their tracks, relieved that their Emperor had not completely lost his mind.
However, Pudu Cihang did not stop; with a flicker of movement, he suddenly appeared beside the old Emperor.
The old Emperor looked at Pudu Cihang in confusion. "National Master, you—"
Pudu Cihang smiled coldly. "Your Majesty, it's time for you to pay me back." With that, his right hand transformed into a sharp centipede leg and swiftly sliced across the Emperor's throat.
His head fell to the ground, eyes wide open in disbelief. He never expected to die here.
Everyone was stunned, completely unable to react.
The Eldest Princess trembled all over, staring blankly at the headless body on the ground. The Emperor was dead just like that?
"Damn it, you killed His Majesty!" Wei Guo Gong exclaimed in shock, turning angrily to Pudu Cihang.
Pudu Cihang collected the Dragon Qi from the old Emperor's body before finally looking at Wei Guo Gong. "Heh, he didn't want to die; he wanted to cultivate. Can you satisfy that wish?"
Wei Guo Gong paused, realizing he understood what the old Emperor was up to. He then darkened his expression and said, "But you can't just kill him! You truly are a monster."
The Eldest Princess finally regained her composure and looked up at Pudu Cihang. "You shouldn't have killed him in the palace. The ancestors in the forbidden grounds won't let you off easily."
Hearing this, Wei Guo Gong perked up. "Princess Consort is right. Monster, you're finished."
Pudu Cihang glanced at the Eldest Princess and smiled faintly. Suddenly, he raised his head and called out towards the door, "Heishui Da Wang, I've done what you asked. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?"
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look outside. A figure dressed in a bright red official robe slowly walked in.
Pudu Cihang moved with surprising agility. "Impressive," Hei Jiao remarked as he glanced at the headless corpse on the ground.
The reason for using Pudu Cihang to kill the Emperor was that Hei Jiao didn't want to get entangled in this cause and effect. With the backlash of Dragon Qi, how could he still vie for supremacy over the world?
Pudu Cihang replied nonchalantly, "There was no other way; after all, he was an Emperor. Who knows what tricks he had up his sleeve?"
Wei Guo Gong and Xian Guo Gong couldn't help but take a few steps back upon seeing Hei Jiao, their faces revealing terror.
How did he end up here?
