What?! The Emperor has been forced to abdicate?!

Everyone present, including the puppet emperor controlled by Dikanlong, was stunned.

All eyes were fixed on the old yellow imperial edict in Shang Xiye's hand, their hearts filled with shock and confusion:

Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince actually possessed such a heaven-defying will!

But for more than a decade, he never let anyone know about it;

Even though he had been persecuted by the emperor and empress dowager in every way before, he never took it out.

Could it be that he truly has no desire for the throne?

Shang Nanjue exchanged a glance with Wen Jiyan immediately, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Why didn't they believe that the Ninth Prince had no desire for the throne?

If they had believed it back then, they should have been bolder in cultivating a good relationship with the Ninth Prince;

Given the Crown Prince's reckless behavior, how could the Ninth Prince not lend them a hand?

But now, they have become a knife in the emperor's hand, aimed at the Ninth Prince!

"If you say it's the late emperor's will, then it is the late emperor's will. How do I know it wasn't forged by you? Given how much favor the emperor showed you back then, it wouldn't be difficult for you to imitate his handwriting," Di Kanlong said, stubbornly refusing to admit it.

Upon hearing this, even the eunuch De standing next to him couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

You were emperor for over ten years!

How can someone be so lacking in common sense?!

If the late emperor's handwriting can be imitated, then can private seals and imperial seals also be imitated?

“Brother, I am not here to argue with you today.” Shang Xiye had no intention of wasting words with Shang Xiche. His words were like sharp blades, each one cutting his throat and killing him: “Since my concessions have only made the Emperor more aggressive, from now on I will not back down even a step.”

The soldiers I have painstakingly trained over the years are not meant for infighting;

Since my elder brother is neither capable of using nor treating me well, I must take him back and take him away!

Return the military tally and personal seal, and rescind the order;

Or, abdicate!

"Please give me an answer immediately, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Shang Xiye released all the pressure emanating from his body.

Wuying and Wuhen also released their full pressure at the same time.

Having fought for many years, they possessed an exceptionally strong aura of killing intent, which was already intimidating.

For ordinary people like Shang Nanjue and Wen Jiyan, their cultivation was like an unstoppable mountain collapse and tsunami, forcing them to kneel down on the spot.

Although Dikanlong possessed some cultivation, he was currently suffering severe damage to his soul.

Under the full pressure of Shang Xiye, Wuying, and Wuhen, he was paralyzed in the dragon throne, almost unable to move, and was in great discomfort.

Dikanlong finally understood what Jianyou meant when she said, "Don't push the Ninth Prince too hard, or he'll do something desperate."

These nine minor mortal kings, having just risen up, are already on par with their Venerable Ones!

Moreover, he was confident of victory, not desperate;

Isn't that infuriating!

Even if Dikanlong didn't care about his status and power in the mortal world, his empress, that silly old woman, and his good-for-nothing son who had no wisdom, cherished this position very much. As one of the Ten Great Demon Generals, how could he possibly break his promise to his woman and son?

Furthermore, if the Ninth Prince were to seize power, all the princes would have to pay homage to the new emperor;

Then the princes would receive their fiefs and leave the capital for other fiefdoms.

If His Majesty were to return and discover that he had lost the base he had cultivated in Kyoto for many years, wouldn't His Majesty be furious?

"Quickly, return the military tally to him!" Di Kanlong slumped on the dragon throne, gesturing repeatedly to Shang Nanjue, completely disregarding how cowardly he looked.

Anyway, it's Shang Xiche who's embarrassed, not Di Kanlong!
