"Tian... Tiangang Realm Expert?"
Fang Wangshu looked at the Crown Princess in astonishment. To be able to wipe out a several ten thousand man army with a single strike... From what he knew, this was something that only a Tiangang Realm expert could accomplish.
Moreover, the person was probably not an ordinary Tiangang Realm expert. They must be at the very top of the Tiangang Realm.
雨.
However, given how prideful the Crown Princess was, she did not care to explain. Faced with Fang Wangshu's question, she did not give any reply. She just grabbed out with one hand, lifting him up like he was a small chicken. All they left behind was the lingering foul stench of blood.
When the Imperial Guards on the city walls once again got back to their feet, what they saw was an endless sea of blood accompanied by the piercing stench of blood. There were also countless amounts of body fluid and internal organs scattered across the battlefield, causing many people to retch.
When He Wanzhou saw this scene, the gleam in his eyes surged. It could be said that he was the only one who saw it clearly—the palm attack which the Crown Princess sent down from the sky earlier.
However, it was because he had been able to see this palm attack clearly that he was even more astonished by it.
'30, 000-man army, with several tens of Disha Realm experts amongst them... Although most of them had only refined a few or ten or more acupuncture points, it's surprising that they would be wiped out by just a single attack, ' He Wanzhou sighed inwardly. 'The Great Jin Dynasty's royal family is really powerful, and they have a strong foundation. It's unexpected that at this stage, aside from His Majesty, there is yet another Tiangang Realm expert. '
Fang Xingjian's and the Crown Princess' images flashed in his mind. With these two Tiangang Realm experts around, they would be able to at least establish a standing in a small area even if they could not reform the world, .
The news of Prince Xin's vanguards getting wiped out soon spread through the entire city like wildfire. Most of the commoners were spared from the fate of war and thus cheered.
More of the officials in the imperial court turned their attention onto the lady who went by the name of Marie.
...
In the palace, Fang Xingjian's eyes opened slightly and looked toward Fang Wangshu, who was before him.
"You're Prince Xin's eldest son, Fang Wangshu?"
Right now, Fang Wangshu didn't seem to be as nervous as he was before. He stood upright before Fang Xingjian, appearing neither humble nor pushy. He cupped his hands toward Fang Xingjian and said, "Paying respects to Your Majesty."
The Crown Princess said impatiently, "What's the point of leaving someone like him alive? Just kill him and get it over with."
Fang Wangshu was afraid that this young Emperor was insensible and would kill him outright. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's true that this time around, it's my loss. However, if you wish to turn the tables around just with the help of a Tiangang Realm expert, then you've thought too lightly of the entire world and of my Father."
"Carry on, I'm listening, " Fang Xingjian said calmly.
The Crown Princess let out a cold snort, not caring for Fang Wangshu's way of saying things.
However, Fang Wangshu continued, "Right now, the world is in chaos, and many sects in the pugilistic world are also creating trouble. There's a shadow of a Tiangang Realm expert behind almost every top-notch influence."
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "This means that there's one behind Prince Xin as well?"
"Of course." For the sake of his safety, Fang Wangshu naturally did not mind sharing some information."Father has painstakingly managed the Beiyuan Region for 20 years, and he doesn't just have 300, 000 armed calvaries of the Xiantian Realm under him. There are also over 1, 000 Disha Realm experts.
"Amongst the Three Mountains Four Peaks, there are already two factions who have agreed to support Father.
"Moreover, our army has taken over two regions. Our strong foundation is at the very top in the world.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, this young lady is very strong. But when faced with such a situation, she'll be able to only protect herself at most."
Fang Wangshu spoke with confidence and composure. The more he spoke, the more confidence he revealed. In his opinion, his father now had the upper hand and the greatest start in the fight for the throne.
Following this, they only needed to take down the Jing Region to have conquered three regions and own a one million-man army. Then they would inherit the royal bloodline and a complete imperial court system.
Moreover, with the support from the Three Mountains Four Peaks, no one would be able to go hold up against them, regardless of whether it was someone from the imperial court or the pugilistic world.
However, after saying all these, the young Emperor did not seem to panic or be at a loss like how Fang Wangshu had expected. The former continued to remain expressionless as if he had not heard what Fang Wangshu had just said. This threw Fang Wangshu into confusion, cutting off what he wanted to say next.
"Is that so?" Fang Xingjian knocked his fingers."If that's the case, then it's true that I can't continue letting you guys hold power." Although Fang Xingjian had inherited the throne in this parallel world, he initially had no interest in ruling over the world and so on.
However, now that he had the Lives' Wisdom Seal, he was a little bit interested in dominating the world. Hearing Fang Wangshu's 'threat', Fang Xingjian immediately set his first target as Prince Xin.
He looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Maria, I'll leave this matter to you. Reform the Jing Region and bring them under the rule of the imperial court. Wipe out the Prince Xin's faction and seize back the control over Serene Region and Beiyuan Region."
Thinking of the effect the Lives' Wisdom Seal could bring after he had three regions under his control, even Fang Xingjian seemed to have some anticipation.
The Crown Princess revealed an excited smile. She had been sealed up for 1, 000 years, and after awakening, she had gone through a series of battles only to be sealed up once again. As such, Maria had been in great anticipation to have this chance of freely displaying her powers.
"Hahahaha, you should have done this a long time ago. It's just a trial for tier six of the Divine level. There's no need to have much reservations, " Maria said and then lifted up Fang Wangshu. She added, "Then he's mine too. He can lead the way for me."
Fang Wangshu became nervous, and he looked at both Fang Xingjian and the Crown Princess with a gaze like he was looking at two illiterates."Are you guys crazy?
"Do you know what you're doing?
"Your Majesty, we can always join forces. We're all members of the royal family. Do we really want to fight between ourselves internally and let those feudal vassals reap the benefits from the side?"
Ever since Fang Wangshu witnessed the Crown Princess' means, he really did not wish to fight against the imperial court. In his opinion, either option of having the two parties join forces or having Prince Xin's faction change their target, such as to attack the Qing Region and Yu Region instead, would be a better outcome.
After all, given that there was such a top-notch Tiangang Realm expert, Prince Xin's faction would suffer great losses even if they managed to kill her.
However, Fang Wangshu had not expected these two people to be like lunatics. They did not care about his advice for them to stop and wanted to fight it out to the bitter death.
"Shut up, " the Crown Princess let out a soft bellow, and Fang Wangshu felt as if his mouth had been blocked by an invisible force, causing him to be unable to say another word.
He tried to circulate his essential Qi but sensed that his essential Qis were sealed up in his Dantian, and he was unable to use even the tiniest bit of it.
Seeing Fang Xingjian's figure slowly disappear, Fang Wangshu thought coldly, 'You'll regret this. '
