Imperial Demon Slayer Division

When Ye Qiyu heard Xu Chongyun's words, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Seeing Xu Zhongyun's embarrassment, Ye Qiyu forced a smile.

"Elder Xu, what happened? Don't joke with me. I'm old and can't stand being frightened."

Xu Chongyun sighed softly, then waved his hand. A group of people from the Shenri Dynasty, wearing white robes and with sad expressions, slowly walked down the cloud ship.

After seeing this scene, Ye Qiyu's heart skipped a beat. For everyone to wear white robes, it must be that someone from the royal family had died.

Ye Wushang was of low status and could not compare to Ye Wuling. If he died, these young heroes of the Shenri Dynasty would also wear mourning clothes, but they would never be so sad.

The only person who could make these young heroes react like this was Ye Wuling.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiyu nervously scanned the people of the Shenri Dynasty, hoping to find Ye Wuling's figure and prove that his inference was wrong.

But he looked around but couldn't find Ye Wuling.

The next moment, all the young heroes retreated to the sides, revealing Ye Wushang who was holding Ye Wuling's body behind him.

After seeing this scene, Ye Qiyu felt as if the sky was about to fall, and so did the royal princes behind him.

The short and fat prince of the Shenri Dynasty flashed in front of Ye Wushang, looked down at the headless body lying in Ye Wushang's arms, and suddenly became furious and asked

"Ye Wushang! How did Wuling die!"

Ye Wushang lowered his head. When he heard the question from the short and fat prince, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then it disappeared in an instant. He looked sad, raised his head, and sobbed.

"Uncle, when we were conducting the trial in the Chaos Star Sea, we encountered a wave of monsters. The Crown Prince...he...he was bitten by a monster...his head was crushed..."

Upon hearing this, the short and fat prince grabbed Ye Wushang by the collar and said angrily

"You are talking nonsense. Wu Ling is at the Tong Xuan realm, the strongest among you. Why are you all intact, but Wu Ling died?"

"It must be you. You are jealous of Wu Ling and hate Wu Ling, so you secretly killed Wu Ling!"

After the short and fat prince finished speaking, Ye Wushang's tears fell like raindrops, and he said sadly

"Is Wushang such a villain in the eyes of the emperor's uncle?"

"Although I have had a rift with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is my brother after all. How could I do such a thing?"

The short and fat prince did not believe Ye Wushang's words at all. He grabbed Ye Wushang's collar and said coldly

"Who are you? Once we go to the clan house, we'll know for sure!"

"go!"

Gu Yan, who was standing by, saw this scene and frowned slightly. The temperature in the air began to drop rapidly, and he shouted coldly:

"presumptuous!"

"Everyone saw Ye Wuling's death, so it can't be faked."

"What's more, Ye Wushang's cultivation is only at the Guiyuan realm, how can he harm Ye Wuling at the Tongxuan realm?"

"You are so confused about right and wrong in front of me. Do you take me seriously?"

Gu Yan's words frightened the short and fat prince so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that His Royal Highness the Holy Son was still in front of him.

So the short and fat prince fell to his knees with a thud, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have never done what you said. I have always respected the Holy Land and Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will understand my mistake."

At this time, Ye Qiyu seemed to realize that something was wrong. The Holy Land had always been high and mighty, but today this Holy Son seemed to have come with a plan, so he quickly spoke.

"Your Highness, Wu Ling was the tenth prince's most beloved nephew. Seeing his nephew's death, I couldn't accept it for a while, so I offended Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

After Ye Qiyu spoke, the princes behind him also began to plead for mercy for the short and fat prince.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Old Ten is a man of few words. We will punish him severely when we return."

"..."

With everyone's pleading, Gu Yan's face finally looked better, and he said

"Since so many people are begging for you, I will spare your life this time."

"But the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Emperor Shenri is already in his twilight years, and the crown prince died at the hands of a demon beast. The position of crown prince cannot be left vacant."

"You guys, do you understand?"

Gu Yan's tone was very dangerous. Everyone lowered their heads quickly after hearing it.

At this moment, Gu Yan's intention was almost obvious. Ye Wuling was dead, and Ye Wushang should be made the crown prince.

Seeing Gu Yan's attitude, Ye Qiyu also had some guesses about Ye Wuling's death.

I'm afraid Ye Wushang took advantage of this trial to join Gu Yan, and Ye Wuling was under the command of Mo Ziyuan, who was interested in the position of the Holy Son, so Gu Yan killed Ye Wuling to give Mo Ziyuan a warning.

If the Shenri Dynasty were placed in the outside world, it would be considered a powerful force that dominated one side. However, in front of a behemoth like the Wanfa Holy Land, the weak ones couldn't even close their eyes like a baby.

In the game between the superiors, they are just pawns. Even if they were wrongly killed, no one will seek justice for them.

And Ye Qiyu had no evidence to prove that it was Gu Yan's doing, so he couldn't say anything.

Besides, even if there was evidence, he dared not say anything and could only swallow his anger.

The Holy Son killed the prince of a vassal dynasty. If this matter were to be spread, it would definitely affect Gu Yan's reputation. As the price for affecting the reputation of the Holy Son, the Shenri Dynasty and its people would mysteriously evaporate.

Faced with absolute power suppression, Ye Qiyu could only pretend to be ignorant and echo Gu Yan

"Your Highness is right. The country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a crown prince."

"Wushang has been smart and clever since he was young, and is good at making plans and making decisions. Who else but him can be the crown prince?"

After Ye Qiyu finished speaking, all the princes behind him had some inferences in their hearts. After all, Mo Ziyuan didn't even show his face, and it was obvious that he didn't care about Ye Wuling's life or death, and he would not go against the Holy Son for a dead person.

So all the princes also echoed

"Your Highness is right. Since Ye Wuling is dead, the position of Crown Prince should be safe!"

"That's right, Wushang has had the demeanor of an emperor since he was young. I have been optimistic about him since he was a child."

"Brother, you are right. Wushang is the most suitable person to be the emperor of the Shenri Dynasty."

After hearing what everyone said, Gu Yan kicked the short and fat prince who was still knocking his head on the ground and said

"What do you think?"

Gu Yan's voice revealed endless danger and murderous intent. The short and fat prince swallowed hard and laughed dryly.

"Wu Shang knows how to appoint the right people to the right posts. He is both talented and virtuous. He will surely be a wise ruler. I fully agree with your decision."

After hearing what the short and fat prince said, Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ye Qiyu and said

"Please inform Emperor Shenri that this matter should be implemented as soon as possible. I hope that Wushang can come to congratulate as the crown prince during the early summer ceremony."

Ye Qiyu bowed and said

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will inform Your Majesty later."
