Almost as soon as Sun Tianzhen and several other Void Breaking Realm experts realized something was wrong, Xia Zhenghong, Xia Qizhen, and the other martial artists around them found themselves as if they had become ordinary people. Not only was their power directly sealed, but they also felt as if they were being pricked with silver needles all over their bodies.

Although Sun Tianzhen and the other martial artists at the Void Breaking Realm had not yet had their internal energy sealed, they could feel that the true essence, the power of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy within their bodies were rapidly losing their connection.

Faced with this scene, Xia Qizhen couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "What else could we do? Of course, we'd poison them!"

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Xia Zhenghong said coldly, "I am the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Does Your Excellency intend to start a war with the Great Xia Dynasty?"

In response to Xia Zhenghong's threat, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said slowly, "Now, all the experts of the Great Xia Dynasty are gathered here. If you all perish here today, the Great Xia Dynasty will probably be unable to protect itself in the entire land of China. Your Highness's words do not make me feel threatened at all!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhenghong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately realized what was going on.

In response, Xia Zhenghong said in a deep voice, "We have never met you before, senior, and we have no prior grudges. What is your purpose in doing this?"

Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "It's nothing, just taking precautions and nipping some problems in the bud."

At this point, Chu Qinghe seemed to realize something and glanced at the northeast direction again.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face.

However, the others present did not notice Chu Qinghe's expression.

Then, Chu Qinghe shifted his attention away from Xia Qizhen, Xia Zhenghong, and the others, glancing towards the northeast before slowly saying, "Things have already come to this point, are you all still going to hide and watch the show?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhenghong and Xia Qizhen on the other side raised their eyebrows slightly.

The group of expert guards around the two of them all radiated their spiritual energy to explore the surroundings, but still could not find anything amiss.

On the other hand, Chu Qinghe shook his head when he saw that the other party was still hiding.

Then he lightly tapped his toes on the ground.

"boom!"

The next second, a violent tremor suddenly came from a distance of about a mile.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, several figures swiftly soared into the air.

The moment these figures took to the air, more than a dozen sword energies, each about three zhang long, appeared out of thin air and traversed the sky.

Forced by these sword energies, the figures had no choice but to dodge in mid-air until they too landed on the desolate mountain.

The leader was pale-faced with delicate features, yet he had the appearance of a man with feminine features.

A simple white long gown.

Perhaps it was his pale face that made the man appear somewhat effeminate.

Behind the man were seven other people.

Both of them were dressed in black and their faces were covered, making it impossible to see their true appearances.

When they saw the man in the lead, both Xia Qizhen and Xia Zhenghong showed a look of astonishment, as if they hadn't expected him to appear in this place.

However, just as the group slowly descended from the air to the ground, the instant their feet touched the ground, two extremely condensed bursts of energy suddenly shot out from the man's body and pierced through the foreheads of Xia Qizhen and Xia Zhenghong.

Taking in this scene, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow slightly.

"That's pretty ruthless!"

Thinking about it, Chu Qinghe raised his eyes slightly and looked at the people who had just appeared with great interest.

Seeing Xia Zhenghong and Xia Qizhen lying limply on the ground, the two Void Breaking Realm elders and experts like Sun Tianzhen changed their expressions drastically.

Gu Wanfeng, the supervisor of the Imperial Court, roared, "Xia Yingqi, how could you murder your brother?"

Judging from the information revealed in Gu Wanfeng's words, Shuimu Yinji and Yaoyue also knew the identity of the newcomer.

Xia Yingqi, the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After confirming the other party's identity, Qu Feiyan muttered, "This guy is pretty ruthless! Even though they're brothers, he didn't hesitate to attack without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin, Xiao Zhao, and Xue Qianxun all nodded in agreement.

Yan Lingji said calmly, "In the royal family, kinship is a luxury. Since ancient times, it has been common for members of the royal family to fight each other. The Great Xia Dynasty is no exception!"

Although the conversation wasn't loud, the group didn't try to hide it either.

Hearing the whispers of the group, Xia Yingqi glanced at Yan Lingji and the others before turning his attention to Gu Wanfeng.

"Gu Jianshou is still as upright and incorruptible as ever! But given the current situation, shouldn't he reconsider his attitude towards me?"

When speaking, Xia Yingqi's voice, like his appearance, carried a somewhat frail and delicate quality.

Just like a well-mannered student, he even exudes a sense of humility.

But Gu Wanfeng's expression kept changing.

Gu Wanfeng was certainly no fool to be able to become the supervisor of the Imperial Court.

Only three members of the royal family remain in the Great Xia Dynasty, but now Xia Zhenghong and Xia Qizhen are both dead. The only remaining member of the royal bloodline in the Great Xia Dynasty is Xia Yingqi, who lives far away.

With this thought in mind, Gu Wanfeng clenched his teeth and slowly lowered his head.

After that, whenever Xia Yingqi's gaze swept over someone, whether they originally belonged to Xia Zhenghong or Xia Qizhen, they would slowly lower their heads.

The saying "when people leave, tea grows cold" couldn't be clearer at this moment.
