The officers and soldiers on both sides were basically from the same system. What you know, I know, and what I know, you know too. There was basically no shortcut. It was just a matter of who would give up first.

Seeing the battle lines locked in a stalemate, Crown Prince Jinwu's eyelids twitched. This bastard had made such thorough preparations; he had indeed long harbored thoughts of rebellion.

"Old Wu, help me capture this thief!" he secretly ordered, knowing the principle of capturing the leader first.

A soft "hmm" came from mid-air, and then an old man suddenly appeared in the air and grabbed at the Second Prince.

Although the Second Prince was also a master, he had no power to resist under the terrifying pressure of a Grandmaster.

Just then, another wave spread out, and a figure rushed out from the Second Prince's residence, blocking Elder Wu. The moment the two exchanged blows, the terrifying shockwaves generated alarmed the entire royal court.

Upon recognizing the other party, the Golden Crow Prince was both surprised and furious: "Sixth Uncle, aren't the Elders forbidden from interfering in the affairs of the Royal Court?!"

Some elders of the Golden Crow royal family will join the council of elders and spend most of their time in seclusion in the deep mountains and secret realms. The successive demon emperors have made an agreement with them that they will only be needed when the demon race is facing a life-or-death crisis, and they are not allowed to show themselves at other times.

Of course, these elders are all nearing the end of their lifespan. They rely on the magic arrays in their respective secret realms to hibernate and cultivate in seclusion, which allows them to live longer. They are unwilling to risk damaging their lifespan by coming out.

So over time, almost no one in the demon race would consider them when doing things.

The man referred to as Sixth Uncle was not the old Demon Emperor's younger brother, but a cousin from the clan. He had only recently entered the Elder Council for seclusion, which is why the Golden Crow Prince recognized him.

Uncle Liu said calmly, "How can I sit idly by and watch you brothers fight each other?"

Old Wu said coldly, "It was clearly the Second Prince who plotted a rebellion. Moreover, the old Demon Emperor has passed away, and the Crown Prince has ascended the throne as the new Demon Emperor. Why don't you come and pay your respects, Sixth Prince?"

"The new Demon Emperor?" Uncle Liu sneered. "Who recognizes him as such?"

Crown Prince Jinwu raised his head and said, "I have been made Crown Prince by my father for many years. I have also undergone the trial at the Imperial Mausoleum and gained the approval of the Demon Ancestor. Now that my father has passed away, I am naturally the undisputed new Demon Emperor."

Sixth Uncle sized him up: "Oh, in that case, the old Demon Emperor must have already passed on his cultivation to you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Jinwu's expression stiffened; this was his greatest weakness.

The Demon Emperor died mysteriously in the secret realm before he could pass on his skills to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to lead troops to kill his brothers. With his powerful cultivation as an Earth Immortal, he could have easily silenced everyone in the entire royal court.
