Meanwhile, the Royal Palace of Penglai Kingdom.
“Report! Something big has happened! Something big has happened!”
An old eunuch ran into the palace hall in a hurry.
At that moment, the Lord of Penglai was discussing state affairs with his ministers in the palace.
The arrival of this old eunuch immediately broke the mood of the entire hall.
“How dare you, so frightened that you are not afraid of bumping into His Majesty! Do you want to die!”
A minister directly rebuked angrily.
When that old eunuch heard this, he was instantly frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
“Servant should die! But I really have something important to report to His Majesty!”
The old eunuch said with an incomparably excited voice.
“What is it that is so alarming, you had better be able to give me a reasonable reason, or else I will definitely punish you for disturbing the court!”
A man on the dragon chair said with a sullen and cold face.
This man was none other than the current emperor of the Penglai Kingdom, the Lord of the Kingdom, Zong Jiuyue!
When Zong Jiuyue said this, the old eunuch’s body trembled with fear.
Disturbing the court was a serious crime, and should be punished!
However, at the moment, the old eunuch did not have the heart to think about this and hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, the Grand Prince …… has been killed!”
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a thunderstorm had exploded in the entire hall, causing everyone present to fall completely silent.
The entire person of State Lord Zong Jiuyue was also completely stunned.
“You …… what did you say? You …… you say that again for me?!”
Zong Jiuyue was so excited that he directly stood up from the dragon chair.
The old eunuch was shivering with fear, but he could only say with a stiff upper lip, “Just now the Grand Prince was killed! His head was chopped off! Ooooooooo ……”
The old eunuch didn’t know whether he was scared or just wanted to show his loyalty, but he actually cried out, as if he had lost his mother.
When the people in the main hall heard this, they were all completely alarmed as well.
The grand prince, Zong Hong, was the crown prince of Penglai, the future king of the country.
Now that his head had been beheaded within the Eastern Palace, this was a shocking event for the Penglai Kingdom!
At this moment, Zong Jiuyue’s entire body was in complete shock, and he did not react for a long time.
His eldest son, Zong Hon, was Zong Jiuyue’s favourite son, otherwise he would not have made him the Crown Prince.
Zong Jiuyue had placed great expectations on Zong Hong’s body.
But now, his favourite son had been killed without any warning, a result that was simply unacceptable to Zong Jiuyue!
“How is it possible! How is this possible! Zong Hong was now an Earth Immortal, so ordinary people would not be able to get close to him, and what’s more, wasn’t there still the State Master around? He couldn’t have just watched Zong Hong get killed!”
Even at this moment, Zong Jiuyue could not accept such a fact and only felt that it was completely impossible.
Not only Zong Jiuyue, but also those ministers in the main hall were all equally having some difficulty in accepting it.
However, it was fine if Zong Jiuyue did not say so, but once he did, the old eunuch’s face became even more dejected.
“Actually, there is one more thing that the servant has not reported. Lord State Master he …… he has also been killed in order to protect His Highness the Crown Prince ……”
The old eunuch said with a sobbing face.
“What?!”
When these words came out, Zong Jiuyue and all the ministers in the main hall all froze for a moment.
They actually didn’t expect that even their Zhen Guo Shi had already been killed at the same time!
This successive blow was simply too great for them!
Zong Jiuyue’s entire body, too, was in shock, unable to react for a long time.
This was because Zong Jiuyue knew very well the strength of State Master Yan Facheng.
His own State Master’s cultivation was already comparable to that of a Heavenly Immortal!
Not only that, the State Master also held in his hand the most precious treasure of Penglai that he had given to him, the **Soul Suppressing Pestle!
With this ** Soul Suppressing Pestle in his hand, coupled with the strength of the State Master himself, even if a Heavenly Immortal were to appear in person, he would not be able to compete with him.
But now, even the State Master had been killed, so how powerful must the other party have been!
“Who is it! Who is the person who killed the Crown Prince and the State Master?”
Zong Jiuyue questioned with a fierce face.
Not only Zong Jiuyue, but all the ministers present also wanted to know who had the guts and power to kill the Crown Prince and the State Counselor in the palace of the Penglai Kingdom!
The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, but finally said, “According to the report from the inner guards of the Eastern Palace, the one who killed the Crown Prince and the State Master seems to be a young man from the secular world ……”
“What!?”
At this moment, Zong Jiuyue and all the ministers were all completely stunned.
Previously, they had guessed that the person who dared to lay hands on the Crown Prince and the State Master was afraid that he was not a disciple of one of the great clans or some other existence.
Otherwise, he would not have had the guts or the ability to do so.
But now, this old eunuch was saying that the Crown Prince and the State Master had died at the hands of a young man from the secular world!
A young man from the secular world that they treated as if he was a mere ant?
Such a result was a huge irony and humiliation for their entire Penglai Kingdom, no, for their entire True Martial Realm!
“B*****d!!!”
Zong Jiuyue was so angry that he snapped.
“Boom!”
The heavy table in front of him was directly shattered by his punch.
All the ministers on the stage were shocked and hurriedly knelt down.
When the Emperor’s son was angry, a million corpses would be buried, not something that ordinary ministers like them could withstand!
At this moment, Zong Jiuyue’s entire body was emitting a powerful killing intent, and he was really like a wild dragon whose scales had been touched.
He looked down at the crowd on the stage, and his gaze looked like it was about to burst into flames!
“B*****d! A mere kid from the secular world, how dare he spread his wildness in my Penglai Kingdom, do you really think that my Penglai Kingdom is easy to bully!”
Zong Jiuyue roared in anger.
“Someone, find out how that B*****d came in here from the secular world, I want to know in detail!”
Zong Jiuyue gave a direct order.
“I obey the order!”
One of the ministers in charge of this area hurriedly responded.
At this moment, everyone in the hall could feel the powerful killing intent from Zong Jiuyue’s body, and they all dared not even breathe a word, and were all silent.
“There’s more!” Zong Jiuyue said again.
“Immediately mobilise the army and be ready for war! Once I know the whereabouts of that son of a b*tch, I will bring the Penglai army to cleanse the secular world in blood!!!”
Zong Jiuyue roared with a fierce face.
“I take orders!”
An armour-clad commander hurriedly responded.
On the high platform, Zong Jiuyue’s gaze looked into the distance, filled with killing intent.
This time, he would make the entire secular world pay the price in blood because of that B*****d’s arrogance!
