Chapter 424 – Guilty by Association
“That girl is extremely impulsive. This time we’re going to have to face serious consequences.”
Wu Jiu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“Lord Jiu, why are you still defending the Dynasty? In fact, even if Little Yu didn’t hurt the Crown Prince, the situation we’re facing right now would still be unavoidable. The Imperial Emperor wants to get rid of you, and since the Crown Prince can’t get Yan Chenyu, he will definitely be crazy about it. The Seventh Emperor, Shangguan Clan, and Myriad Sword Sect are determined to kill Jiang Chen. In the end, none of us were able to escape their evil plan. Therefore, in my opinion, even if Yan Chenyu killed the Crown Prince directly, the consequences would still be the same, and this was all in Jiang Chen’s prediction. The only thing different is that they came much faster than he had expected.
Xuan Ye said after letting out a long sigh. Although he was part of the Martial Saint Dynasty, he didn’t work directly underneath the Dynasty itself. He would only follow Wu Jiu for his entire life. Since the Imperial Emperor was going to stand against Wu Jiu, Xuan Ye’s impression toward the Martial Saint Dynasty had sunk to the bottom.
“Wu Jiu, don’t waste our time, hurry up and hand over all those related to this event! That includes your son, Wu Lang! He has to follow us to the Martial Saint Palace and receive the Imperial Emperor’s punishment!”
The Tenth Emperor said with a loud voice.
“All of them have left, I’m the only person you’re looking for who is still staying in the Martial Palace.”
Wu Jiu said, showing no signs of fearing the situation on his face.
“What?! They’ve escaped?”
The third emperor who hadn’t yet said anything suddenly scolded.
“Hmph! Search every inch of the Martial Palace and find them! If they fight back, kill them on the spot!”
The Seventh Emperor coldly harrumphed. Right after he finished speaking, Shangguan Sheng, Tiangang Yi and the others immediately started flying toward the Martial Palace. A few of the emperors also started searching for the people they were seeking. They didn’t believe Wu Jiu.
Seeing the situation, Wu Jiu suddenly felt that Yan Chenyu had made a wise decision earlier today. Her actions gave Han Yan and the others enough time to run away from this place. If she hadn’t done that, none of them would have been able to escape.
Wu Jiu’s face was covered with indifference. He believed that with Han Yan and the others’ abilities, they would have already found a hiding place where no one would be able to find them. These people searching for them in the Martial Palace were simply just wasting their time.
It didn’t take much time for these Late Combat Soul warriors to search every inch of the Martial Palace. When they returned, one could easily tell from their expressions that they hadn’t found anything.
“They’ve escaped from here.”
Shangguan Sheng said.
“Hmph! This continent is ruled by the Martial Saint Dynasty, there is no way they can run away from us! Let’s go, we’ll bring Wu Jiu back for now.”
The Third Emperor coldly harrumphed. He then started flying toward the Martial Saint Palace with all his men, as well as Wu Jiu and Xuan Ye following.
“Oh heavens, did you guys hear that? The Crown Prince has been castrated by Yan Chenyu! Is this for real?”
“It was mentioned by the emperors, so I’m sure it really happened! I never expected that weak and gentle looking Yan Chenyu to actually be such a fierce girl!”
“The question is; how did she do it? The Crown Prince is the commander of the Golden Guards, and he’s a Late Combat Soul warrior! With Yan Chenyu’s strength, even if it was a sneak attack, I can’t see how she could have possibly done it. This is really strange.”
“The Palace Chief is done for. Something so serious has happened to the Crown Prince, I’m certain the Imperial Emperor is furious right now. All those people who are related to Jiang Chen will be dragged in this matter as well. This is too frightening, I’m lucky I’m not friends with any of them.”
…………
Martial Saint Palace!
When Wu Jiu was brought to the palace, the Crown Prince had already awakened and was sitting on a rattan chair. Although he still looked to be in great pain, he had overall recovered a lot. The Crown Prince was after all a Late Combat Soul warrior, and although he had now become a eunuch, his ability to recover was still not something those ordinary people could compare with. The main reason why he fainted previously was because he felt humiliated.
Even at this point of time, the Crown Prince was still unable to accept the fact that he had been castrated. Whenever he felt pain coming from his crotch, he would immediately roar out furiously then gnash his teeth in anger as both his eyes turned red. When he saw Wu Jiu, he felt a strong desire to leap forward and bite him.
Seeing the Crown Prince’s miserable state, even Wu Jiu couldn’t help but feel a bit of pain. No man could withstand this kind of injury, let alone the Crown Prince.
“Imperial Emperor, we’ve brought Wu Jiu here, but all the others have escaped.”
The Third Emperor said.
“Imperial Emperor, I’m sure Wu Jiu planned all of this a long time ago, that’s the reason why they had time to escape!”
The Seventh Emperor said in a vicious manner.
“All of you must go find that bitch Yan Chenyu for me! I want to peel her skin off while she’s still alive!”
The Crown Prince was extremely agitated. Unconsciously, his voice had actually become sharp and high pitched, lacking the manner of a man. As if having sensed the transformation of his voice, the Crown Prince started trembling. This was an insult, the greatest insult a man could suffer!
“Old Jiu, you’ve disappointed me.”
The Imperial Emperor turned to Wu Jiu and said with a cold and eerie voice.
