Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Step Forward and Die!_1
The faces of these people instantly became extremely gloomy. They came here with the invitation of the Crown Prince, only to be kept outside, not even able to meet the Martial Emperor.
Everyone should know, seeing the Crown Prince would be a great honor. It could even benefit the whole Imperial Dynasty.
They also understood a bit of the Crown Prince's intentions. Despite Dawu being a newly-risen three-star Imperial Dynasty, it held many secrets, especially the large-scale sale of Lingyuan rice. This made the Crown Prince eager to firmly control Dawu.
"Really not going to see the Crown Prince?"
The deacon Guo eerily said.
"Without the Emperor's decree, nobody is allowed to step in."
Zhu Fengfeng coldly replied.
"What should we do, Deacon Guo?" someone asked.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The deacon Guo suddenly laughed out loud: "Lord of Dawu, are you really intent on defying the Crown Prince's wishes? Although you are the Sovereign of the three-star Imperial Dynasty, the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, destined to rule in the future. Your defiance could cost Dawu to lose its name within this suspended domain!"
"I can give you a chance. Come out now and come with me to see the Crown Prince. Everything will be as it was and no harm will be done. If you dare to provoke the Crown Prince, you won't be able to take a step within this Suspended City!"
"Commander Feng, whoever dares take a step forward will be sentenced to death!" The voice of Chu Yuan faintly sounded from within Qiankun Business Association.
"By the imperial command, whoever takes a step forward will die!"
Zhu Fengfeng yelled out.
"This is probably a big problem now. The suspended Crown Prince is the future heir but the Martial Emperor by my side is also a peerless ruler. Within a few short years, he elevated an empire to three stars. How could he succumb to the suspended Crown Prince?"
The Emperor of Dachang trembled slightly at Chu Yuan's overbearing tyranny.
"Lord of Dawu, you will be held accountable for your words!"
Deacon Guo's voice also contained anger.
"Hmph! Deacon Guo, you don't have to intervene. Today I will challenge him and see how he's going to execute me!"
All of a sudden, a man carrying a knife beside Guo gave a cold laugh, extremely disdainful.
He suddenly pulled out the knife from his bosom and, within an instant, directed glowing blade light towards Zhu Fengfeng. He shouted, "Step aside! Today we need to see Chu Yuan. No one can stop us!"
"They actually made their move!"
The face of the Emperor of Dachang was full of displeasure.
These people from the suspended Imperial Dynasty are too domineering. If they cannot see their prince, they will resort to violence. Chu Yuan is considered a supreme ruler of a nation, the emperor of billions of people. His status is indeed noble. How could he tolerate being forcibly invited by a few subordinates?
What would happen if it was him? Would he also be forcibly invited?
"You're asking for death!"
Boom! Boom!
Zhu Fengfeng attacked without any restraint!
In the blink of an eye, flames akin to lava suddenly engulfed the man who attacked Zhu Fengfeng. The man was then seen engulfed by the raging fire, letting out terrible screams.
Only a few breaths later, the man had disappeared. All that was left behind was a burnt patch of land.
This sudden change seemed to make the surroundings quiet. Only the heat from the flames remained in the air.
"That woman actually straight up killed someone from the Crown Prince's camp!"
"This Lord of Dawu is so arrogant and domineering! He didn't even leave any face for the suspended Imperial Dynasty. However, the suspended Imperial Dynasty was also too domineering. How can they invite a country's ruler in this way? Who could be happy with this?"
"But killing the Crown Prince's people is not going to have a good ending."
"Who let the suspended Imperial Dynasty be the strongest Sovereign in the suspended domain? There are more than one divine entity ruling there."
There were many people gathered outside the Qiankun Business Association. When they saw the man with the knife melted by the flames, each made a sound of shock. Only someone bold could order their subordinates to kill openly.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Zhu Fengfeng asked coolly.
"You!" Guo, looking at the burnt patch of land on the ground, twisted his face in rage. There were no words to express how furious he was, "You will have to pay the price, and even Dawu may perish because of this!"
"Ha ha! Isn't the Crown Prince very domineering? Those who follow him thrive, those who oppose him perish. Hey hey, since you've suffered such a huge loss, are you just going to let it be?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd began to cause discord, wanting to make things worse.
"Yes, in the future the Crown Prince will be the heir. If this is not handled properly, who will believe in him?"
Someone chimed in.
"You don't need to tell me! This old man knows what to do. Young woman, for daring to kill a person from the eastern palace, you're quite brave. Today, you're going to pay a visit with me, let's see how harsh our suspended laws can be!"
Guo took a step forward and his pressure erupted, as fierce as a tsunami.
Although the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, he also has dozens of brothers, some of them quite impressive, all wanting to overthrow the Crown Prince, and sit in his place.
If today's matter is not handled well, it would harm the Crown Prince's prestige.
Also, this Lord of Dawu was too disrespectful and made him a public joke.
"Suspended Laws? In my eyes, there's only Dawu's laws. Commander Feng, if he dares to make a move against you, don't hesitate to kill."
Chu Yuan gave the order, but from beginning to end, he did not appear before everyone.
After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Guo trembled with rage. He was someone who was recruited by the Crown Prince, meant to assist the heir, an unparalleled figure. Yet the Lord of Dawu ordered his death so casually, as if he didn't even see him as a threat.
He could never tolerate this.
"You obstinate and unruly man, those who disrespect the Crown Prince should die!"
Guo took a deep breath, and suddenly, his powerful mana surged, he released a glow that looked like a tail of a comet and attacked Zhu Fengfeng.
"You should die even more!"
Boom! Boundless flames erupted from Zhu Fengfeng once again. The fiery temperature melted all mana, making Guo retreat continuously, unable to get close to Zhu Fengfeng's mana.
"What kind of fire is this!"
Guo exclaimed in horror: "You! Your power is actually at the mana-containing stage!"
"Mana-containing stage, Dawu actually has a person at the mana-containing stage!"
Chu Yuan could make a person at the mana-containing stage be loyally dedicated to him. It reveals how mysterious the Lord of Dawu is and his power must be even more unpredictable.
At this moment, to everyone, including the Emperor of Dachang, Chu Yuan seemed even more mysterious.
"Those who disrespect the Emperor shall be sentenced to death!"
Zhu Fengfeng, the flames burning on her body, immutable, began to walk towards Guo. The air around her distorted under the terrifying heat, as if she was a goddess walking out of the fire.
Behind her, a vortex of distorted flames formed, followed by a crowing phoenix sound. It actually condensed into an undying phoenix, majestic and powerful. Its timeless aura put a lot of pressure on Guo.
"No...The Undying Phoenix!"
Upon seeing the Undying Phoenix, Guo's face twisted dramatically.
