The two could coexist peacefully.
But if the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning held a grudge against Great Zhou because of matters related to Great Chu, the situation wouldn’t be so easily resolved.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan sensed Emperor Zhou’s gaze and slightly nodded, his cold and numb heart barely stirred.
The death of Cheng Guang didn’t bring him any joy.
On the contrary, it was more painful.
Just as Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was about to leave,
The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning unexpectedly blocked his way.
While gazing at Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan with her magnificent face, she said, "Others may leave, but not you."
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s eyes, cold and numb, lifted slightly to meet her gaze and he chuckled, "Why, do you intend to take action against me?"
The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning nodded slightly.
Perhaps Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan wanted to relieve the heaviness in his heart or maybe he wanted to test the depth of the princess’s strength. He laughed heartily and leaped into the sky.
The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning stamped her foot on the ground and her body swooped into the air.
Upon witnessing this scene, both Emperor Zhou and the Emperor of Great Yan were taken aback.
Clearly, neither had expected the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning to engage in combat with Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.
Above the heavens, Qi exploded, and a terrifying presence surged as the colors of the sky and earth seemed to fade.
The fight between the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning and Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan appeared to tear the very sky apart.
Emperor Zhou looked up, his eyes narrowing at the spectacle.
He naturally had no doubts about Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s strength.
But he hadn’t expected the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning to be so formidable.
Hadn’t she previously displayed the strength of only the sixth or seventh rank? How could her power have increased so much so suddenly?
He didn’t know why.
Suddenly, Emperor Zhou thought of Zhang Shunlong, who seemed to have stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm that very day.
Both the Emperor of Great Yan and Li Longhu beside him were no less shocked.
Before revealing her identity, the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning had always been the daughter of Prince Ning, having grown up under their watchful eyes in the capital city.
Although the princess was talented, her abilities had not reached the level she was displaying now.
Compared to her other performances, her current strength was perhaps the least remarkable.
Why was this happening?
How did the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning come to know the Heavenly Machine Elder?
Why had she changed so drastically all of a sudden?
One question after another loomed like a thick fog over the Emperor of Great Yan and Li Longhu.
Countless onlookers raised their heads to witness the battle between the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning and Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan in the sky.
And it was at this moment,
that Cheng Zhihai finally arrived, though belatedly.
His cultivation had not reached the level of Sky-Man, so his travel speed was slower than that of Emperor Zhou and Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.
When he reached the scene,
he was first shocked by the commotion caused by the fight between the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning and Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.
Then his gaze swept over the scene, finally resting on a blood-stained brocade.
Cheng Zhihai’s eyes contracted sharply a few times, "So, he’s already dead."
From the residual Qi on the brocade, he guessed that it was his father’s doing.
When Cheng Zhihai initially heard that his child was the Crown Prince of Great Chu, he was extremely angry.
He rushed over immediately, intending to execute Cheng Guang.
But when he arrived and found Cheng Guang already dead,
his heart didn’t feel any lighter, but rather, it felt empty.
Cheng Zhihai dared not imagine what Wu Yuemei would feel when she found out that her son had been dead for a while, and all this time, it was the Crown Prince of Great Chu who had been by her side. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
What would she think?
Cheng Zhihai approached the pool of blood, picked up the torn brocade with one hand, and his legs inexplicably weakened.
"Director,"
"Director,"
Seeing Cheng Zhihai’s arrival, the constables of the Bureau of the Lamp from the nearby tea house came over to salute.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang both had red-rimmed eyes, tearfully grieving at they knew not when.
"Director, the Princely Heir, he..."
Qian Siyuan’s voice was hoarse, and having spoken halfway, he could not bear to continue. He turned his head away, closing his eyes to weep, biting down on his teeth in agony.
The previously cheerful expression was no longer there.
Li Zhengyang let out a sigh and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
From their perspective, they wanted to protect Cheng Guang.
But from Cheng Zhihai’s perspective, it was only right and proper to execute this impostor Crown Prince of Great Chu.
Li Zhengyang couldn’t say that he had failed to protect the Princely Heir.
Because there was no need for his protection.
Cheng Zhihai stayed silent for a moment, not saying much. He just patted Qian Siyuan on the shoulder and then patted Li Zhengyang as well.
He struggled to stand up straight.
But his legs failed him.
Leaning against the wall, Cheng Zhihai sat down, his luxurious clothes soiled with mud, but he didn’t care.
Cheng Zhihai laughed.
"Dead is dead."
"The bastard deserved to die. Who could have thought that he was the Crown Prince of Great Chu; I have no idea when he killed my birth son."
"If he hadn’t revealed himself now,"
"I still wouldn’t have known how much longer I’d be deceived by this bastard."
"I truly thought that my boy had the makings of a Sky-Man, and he was starting to make me proud..."
"But this is the reality."
"So this is it..."
Cheng Zhihai laughed as he spoke.
By the end,
this man, always so strong, suddenly began to shed tears like a disappointed child.
At first, he seemed unaware of his tears, but as soon as he noticed, he quickly and frantically wiped them from his cheeks.
