“Silence, all of you! My crown prince and two other princes have already died for the sake of the empire As members of the imperial clan, don’t you have any sense of sacrifice?” the erily shot back “What do you want me to do? Trade my life for theirs? Do you want er cowed his clansmen into silence, but they clearly remained recalcitrant
In the sky above, Jiao Yun could only speechlessly report back to Jiang Chen He’d killed eight princes by now, but hadn’t received a flicker of reaction fro lord, this Great Scarlet emperor seems determined to cower and hide It seems we need to storm the palace” Jiao Yun felt that the easiest as to just crush the enee a wrong As a wandering great ehtforward method
“Jiao Yun, don’t look down on the to speak of, but you can tell the palace has a long history and a rich legacy It has two formations, one inner and one outer If we rush in blindly, we’ll fall prey to them and be forced into a difficult, bloody clash that’ll cost us countless lives”
Jiang Chen shook his head after uard around the palace “Each one of the Peafowl guardsht the them back I would never casually sacrifice y was to unravel the eneainst a trivial Great Scarlet Mid Region
Above the clouds, Jiang Chen studied the two formations of the palace Both ell hidden, crafted with skill and cunning
“These forn They’re too complex for a current for on theh, and it looks like later descendants haven’tfrom the structures, these formidable formations more than meet the standard for sky rank, but how enerations can deploy is another story,” Jiang Chen said as he si lord, why don’t you sureat e their own troops, it’ll be easy enough to stea Dragon,” Jiao Yun proposed He’d also realized they wouldn’t be guaranteed of victory it they charged in headfirst

“Young lord, you’re mistaken We don’t represent the Great Scarlet emperor, only our own sects We sent no soldiers in the invasion of Myriad Do comes for just retribution in accordance with heavens’ laws, so we naturally wouldn’t overreach ourselves and try to stand in your way Our three sects decided a few days ago to seal off our gates, break all ties with the imperial fa the young lord not to spread the flames of war to our innocent sects and to spare the conified words lay nothing er on their sects As to the co
“You sealed off your gates?” Jiang Chen suddenly s your heads in the sand?”
The three elders froze “Young lord Jiang Chen, our sects had nothing to do with the invasion My lord, please show leniency We have no other wish but to cultivate in seclusion We wouldn’t dreae on you in the future”
“You didn’t participate directly, but you still bear some of the i to do with it?! However, since you want to turn over a new leaf, I can give you a chance Go back and tell your sect heads to send out all of your elites and attack the palace This is the only way for you to demonstrate your sincere determination to cut ties with Great Scarlet’s imperial house!”
