System's Super Sect Chapter 1518: Prince Longyang's Killing Intent

Prince Longyang coldly asserted, catching everyone off guard, “Are you saying that as long as the Ancestor remains atop Ancestor Mountain, you will refuse the Royal Family’s commands?”

Both the Southern Guardian King and the Western Guardian King, along with another King-Sealing Expert who had planned to watch and see how things unfolded, were all stunned by Prince Longyang’s words.

Why is Prince Longyang so aggressive today? Shouldn’t the Royal Family be valuing these different-sealed kings given the current situation?

Why is he seizing military power as soon as he arrives?

For a moment, the entire hall was terrifyingly silent, and those who usually supported other royal family sealed kings had their faces change dramatically, looking extremely displeased. Because now it seemed like it was just about seizing the military authority of the Southern and Western Guardian Kings, but who knew if they would be next.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Until five breaths had passed.

These short five breaths felt as long as a whole day, leaving most people feeling very anxious and tense.

The Southern Guardian King’s face darkened, and he stood up abruptly, resolutely saying in a deep voice, “With due respect, Your esteemed status is undeniable, and it is only right that you become the Sovereign of You Country. We should also listen to your commands. However, in this moment of existential crisis for You Country, a Half-Step Primordial Vast has already been involved in the war. In terms of your power, you are not suitable to be the Sovereign of You Country!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of those in the hall changed suddenly. Although the majority showed astonishment, they were secretly delighted.

As long as the Southern Guardian King didn’t hand over military power, they still had an option. Depending on the Southern and Western Guardian Kings wasn’t impossible, and the future could be considered gradually. Anything was better than letting Prince Longyang take over everything now, followed by sharpening the knife towards them.

Furthermore, the actions of the Southern Guardian King that followed made most people feel more assured. Two military sealed kings standing united; without the Ancestor stepping in, who could forcefully take their military power? Prince Longyang? Sikong Zhuxing, or Si Haixian who just entered the Upper Realm?

The Western Guardian King also stood up abruptly, adding, “The Southern Guardian King is right, several Half-Step Primordial Vast experts have already perished in this war. What do we mere sealed kings amount to? In such a moment of crisis, I will follow the Ancestor’s guidance, but anyone else, I will ignore!”

Thus.

The atmosphere in the hall turned extremely delicate.

Under Prince Longyang, each person’s brows and eyes revealed a hint of coldness, with some even showing a trace of underlying anger.

Apart from this small group, over seventy percent of those in the hall gradually donned calm expressions, like the surface of a still lake. Though their faces revealed nothing, their calm expressions seemed to convey everything.

Prince Longyang surveyed them, a flash of coldness passing through his deep eyes, and he immediately made a mental resolution to remove these parasites in the future.

After the statements by the Southern and Western Guardian Kings, not even five breaths passed before someone played the role of mediator and spoke up.

“Your Highness, shouldn’t we be reorganizing and discussing the next plans to resist Zhetian Tower and guard against the Immortal Sect at this moment?”

“Indeed, Your Highness. The immediate task is to resolve the greatest crisis. Regarding half of the territory of You Country, should we cede it or not?”

…

Then the floodgates opened.

Dozens or even hundreds of the military and official higher-ups spoke in unison, trying to suppress Prince Longyang, urging him to retract his command.

Seeing this, the Southern and Western Guardian Kings exchanged a glance, a faint and hard-to-detect sense of smugness flashed in their cold eyes.

Hand over military power?

Wishful thinking!

What if you have the support of the Inspection Hall?

With He Youyuan dead, the Inspection Hall is nothing more than hollow inside, and Si Haixian’s strength, who does it scare? Who can it constrain?

As for Si Haixian,

The two never considered him worth their attention.

Cutdown Upper Realm as Middle Realm, so what? At the end of the day, he’s just freshly into the Upper Realm.

And just at this moment, when everyone thought that Prince Longyang might take a step back, he coldly spoke, his tone full of murderous intent, “Right now, I am the only royal sealed king left, and my words are the highest command of the You Country’s Royal Family. Without handing over military power, the titles will be removed!”

At this, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The people who were just advising Prince Longyang were rendered speechless, exchanging shocked glances.

Even the Southern and Western Guardian Kings were no exception.

The two were not only dumbfounded but also very angry. Given the current state of the You Country’s Royal Family, while they might care little for titles, for Prince Longyang to publicly state the removal of their titles in front of all the Great Domain Masters, Domain Masters, and the surviving You Country high officials was humiliating.

How could a real man endure such humiliation?

Let alone King-Sealing Experts!

In this war, though the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm is not the peak, it can’t determine the war’s outcome. However, those in the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm are still among the cream of the crop at the Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

Even Sikong Zhuxing and Si Haixian were somewhat at a loss. But after recalling the Sect Leader’s urgencies, they roughly understood what Prince Longyang intended to do next.

“Those who do not respect the orders of His Highness are equivalent to traitors. According to You Country’s laws, the Inspection Hall can at any time eliminate all members of their direct family.” You think being more in number and louder makes a difference? Let’s see, then. “Inspection Hall members, prepare…”

As soon as Si Haixian finished speaking, as many as dozens of Celestial Unrestricted Experts from the Inspection Hall swiftly rushed into the hall, standing behind Si Haixian. Each resembled a tautly drawn bow, ready to release an arrow toward anyone in the hall at any moment.

Aside from the sealed kings, most people in the hall turned serious, as though the members of the Inspection Hall weren’t King-Sealing Experts, nearly all of them were infamous for being in the Heaven Unrestricted Lower or Middle Realms. Their presence exerted a similar level of intimidation as the sealed kings to most people.

With their entrance, those who had already pledged allegiance to Prince Longyang from the Primordial Yang Domain, Longze Domain, and other great domains gathered together, forming a highly confrontational atmosphere with others. Though significantly outnumbered, their momentum was not at all weak.

One breath.

Two breaths.

The standoff lasted for several dozen breaths.

The Southern Guardian King was the first to break the tense atmosphere, speaking, “Since Your Highness is not here to discuss the future of You Country, then I bid farewell. I repeat, with the Sovereign of You Country fallen, I now only follow the Ancestor’s instructions. And as for you in the Inspection Hall, if you dare act, go ahead and try, let’s see who’s faster, you or me.”

After speaking, the Southern Guardian King stepped forward to leave, not showing any intention of stopping, and the Western Guardian King followed suit with large strides.

“If there is nothing else, Your Highness, then I will withdraw first. Zhetian Tower and the Immortal Sect covetously eye our territories; whether it’s for You Country or myself, I have no time to waste here.”

The two calmly walked to the hall’s entrance, only to be blocked by the Inspection Hall’s people, preventing them from leaving.

The Southern Guardian King sneered, “Are you sure you want to block our path?”

Before the Inspection Hall members could reply, Si Haixian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “Are you sure you want to leave? Beyond this threshold, the path leads to death. If you stay, you remain as sealed kings. Don’t force me to kill you.”

“Hahaha, freshly into the Upper Realm, speaking such big words. If you dare come, I dare chop off your head!”

With that, the Southern Guardian King shoved aside the Inspection Hall people and strode out of the hall, with the Western Guardian King mocking lightly as he followed.
