Chapter 4495
“Thank you, Elder Chu. I sincerely hope that in the future, our Xiao Imperial Dynasty and the Demon Sealing Alliance can continue collaborating to unify the entire Celestial Realm!”
Xiao Jian remarked with a subtle smile.
“Hahaha, that’s absolutely guaranteed!” Elder Chu replied with a hearty laugh.
At that moment, within the hall of the Demon Sealing Alliance’s headquarters, Zuo Tianzheng was grinning from ear to ear, his joy evident.
“Tenth Highness, I told you before that the Xiao Dynasty is nothing special. With just a little trick, it will crumble!”
“Look now; in less than fifteen minutes, the Xiao Dynasty will be transformed!”
Zuo Tianzheng exclaimed, brimming with delight.
His aim was to earn praise from His Highness the Tenth while subtly hinting that his journey had been fruitless.
Despite the Xiao Dynasty’s strength, he believed he was the one to bring it down!
However, to his surprise, the Tenth Highness merely smiled faintly, an enigmatic expression crossing his youthful face.
This smile, which belonged to a teenager, was puzzling to behold!
Meanwhile, in the Imperial City, Yu Wenqiang’s expression hardened with anger as he confronted Xiao Jian. “Second Prince, do you truly intend to betray the Xiao Dynasty and Emperor Xiao?”
“He is your father! How could you possibly turn against your own flesh and blood?”
Yu Wenqiang hoped to awaken Xiao Jian to the reality of being used by the Demon Sealing Alliance.
“Prime Minister Yu, be quiet! If you join my side now, I can ensure you remain as Prime Minister of the Xiao Dynasty.”
“But if you cling to your foolish loyalty, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Xiao Jian retorted sharply to Yu Wenqiang.
Realizing that Xiao Jian was resolutely focused on seizing the throne, Yu Wenqiang ceased his attempts to persuade him, allowing his aura to surge dramatically!
Yu Wenqiang’s commanding presence filled the Imperial City.
Having earned his position as Prime Minister, Yu Wenqiang possessed genuine abilities!
Noticing Yu Wenqiang’s formidable aura, Elder Chu turned to Xiao Jian, saying, “Prince Xiao, the next steps are in your hands. If you require assistance, we can act at any moment!”
Elder Chu intended to let Xiao Jian lead his forces alongside Xiao Feng into battle, creating chaos among the ranks of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty.
This would allow the Demon Sealing Alliance to reap the rewards, and if Xiao Jian’s troops suffered heavy losses, they could easily engulf the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, leaving Xiao Jian without a throne!
“Elder Chu, just sit back and watch!”
Xiao Jian replied with a faint smile, suddenly transforming his expression to one of coldness as he seized Elder Chu by the neck!
Simultaneously, the forces accompanying Xiao Jian turned against the nearby cultivators of the Demon Sealing Alliance!
The abruptness of the attack caught many of the Demon Sealing Alliance’s cultivators off guard, resulting in immediate and tragic casualties!
Both Elder Chu and Yu Wenqiang were momentarily stunned!
This unexpected shift was too swift for them to process!
“Prince Xiao, what on earth are you doing?” Elder Chu stammered, shock written all over his face.
“What do you think?” Xiao Jian replied with a cold smile. “Your Demon Sealing Alliance believes it can drive a wedge between me and my father. It’s utterly laughable. The choice of Cangwolf City was mine alone, not something forced upon me by my father.”
“I am not envious of my elder brother being crowned Crown Prince; in fact, I am genuinely happy for him.”
“Your little schemes are better directed elsewhere!”
With a fierce grip, Xiao Jian crushed Elder Chu’s neck, blood spraying from his mouth as he fell silent!
Following Elder Chu’s demise, Patriarch Zhou immediately turned to flee, abandoning Tian Luo and Tian Shi without a second thought!
As soon as Patriarch Zhou made his escape, chaos erupted among the cultivators of the Demon Sealing Alliance, who began to flee in panic!
“Kill them!”
Xiao Jian raised his arm, prompting his followers to pursue the fleeing members of the Demon Sealing Alliance!
Xiao Feng, regaining his composure, also commanded, “Kill for me! Don’t let a single one of them escape!”
This time, the cultivators of the Demon Sealing Alliance found themselves the hunted, as the guards of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty pursued them relentlessly!
