Following the direction his spear pointed, dozens of cultivators appeared below the platform, while hundreds more surrounded the crowd below.
It seems he intends to outnumber them and wear them down to death here.
Tantai Yueming was not surprised at all when she saw this person who suddenly appeared.
Instead, she moved closer to Lin Jiujiu and whispered, "Is everyone here?"
The reason they had been tolerating the Crown Prince and Lin Xian'er's nagging was simply to get them to reveal all their hidden tricks.
To avoid the trouble of searching for one or two people who might run away later.
Moreover, they can't stay in the lower realm for too long, so it's better to wipe them out as soon as possible to save trouble.
Lin Jiujiu calculated with her fingers, then nodded to him.
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, a glint of light flashed in Tantai Yueming's eyes.
With a wave of his hand, he created a barrier that enveloped the entire palace.
He'd been holding back his anger ever since, waiting until now just to lure all these people out.
Now I finally don't have to endure it anymore.
With a swift movement, he grabbed the Chu Emperor, Tantai Haoze, the little boy, and the Imperial Concubine, pulling them to his side.
Finally, without a care in the world, he asked the Chu Emperor beside him...
"Brother, your son is beyond saving. Now you should give up, shouldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, the Chu Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, but ultimately only sighed and said nothing.
But the meaning was already quite clear.
They wiped out a group of nearly 10,000 cultivators in a matter of a moment, but now there are only a few hundred of them. So what if their cultivation level is higher than those people?
For Tantai Yueming and the others, it was just a matter of lifting a finger.
Only someone as ignorant as the Crown Prince would think that a Golden Core cultivator could defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator by sheer numbers, just like a low-level cultivator.
If Lin Xian'er hadn't died so young, the Crown Prince wouldn't have had such a foolish understanding.
Lin Jiujiu and Baili Chenyuan had no intention of making a move against these people; they simply let Tantai Yueming handle things on her own.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had slaughtered all of the Crown Prince's men.
The entire palace was filled with a strong stench of blood.
Lin Jiujiu frowned in disgust, and Baili Chenyuan immediately set up a barrier for her, enclosing them within a few feet and separating them from the rest of the hall.
The unpleasant smell dissipated, and Lin Jiujiu's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
When Tantai Yueming had dealt with all those people, leaving only the Crown Prince as a lone commander, he finally panicked.
"Father, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I am willing to return to the East Palace to reflect on my mistakes."
Tantai Yueming's disgust deepened as she watched the Crown Prince kneeling before the Chu Emperor like a dog, kowtowing repeatedly.
How could their Tantai family produce such a coward as the Crown Prince?
Not only Tantai Yueming, but even the Chu Emperor looked at him with an indescribable expression.
Looking at his son lying at his feet, he kicked him to the ground.
She then turned away and closed her eyes, as if she never wanted to see him again.
He said coldly to Tantai Yueming, "Royal brother, depose him and hand him over to the Dali Temple for interrogation."
When the crown prince heard that the Chu emperor wanted to abolish his cultivation, he immediately objected.
Before yesterday, he could recover from his injuries by cultivating with Lin Xian'er.
Now, Lin Xian'er is gone without a trace. If he is crippled, he will truly be a useless person.
The prince wanted to escape, but he knew that he couldn't escape from the barrier set up by Tantai Yueming.
So, he hardened his heart, channeled his spiritual power into his palm, and then struck the back of Emperor Chu's heart with a fierce blow.
Seeing this, Tantai Yueming quickly raised her hand to stop him, but unexpectedly the Crown Prince took the opportunity to turn around and pounce on the Third Prince.
He knew in his heart that with Tantai Yueming around, it was impossible for him to take the Chu Emperor hostage.
But the Third Prince is different; he is the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, even though Emperor Chu doesn't usually pay much attention to him.
But as long as the Imperial Noble Consort is still alive, out of consideration for her, the Chu Emperor will not let the matter rest.
He was initially annoyed that this person had actually returned alive and destroyed the hidden pieces he had laid out.
But now he should thank him, otherwise he wouldn't have had a chance to escape at all.
Then, he was too happy too soon. Just as he was about to grab the Third Prince, a long spear suddenly pierced out from behind the Third Prince, aiming straight for his brow.
Seeing the wisps of spiritual energy emanating from the tip of the spear, the prince dared not be careless and quickly dodged to the side.
This evasion cost him his only chance.
Tantai Yueming, who had just been fooled by his feint, finally realized what was happening.
With a soft sword drawn from his waist, he used his spiritual power to create a series of sword flowers, directly crippling the prince's tendons in his hands and feet.
The final sword pierced his dantian, pulverizing his recently repaired golden core into nothingness, leaving not even a trace, making further repair impossible.
"ah……"
The crown prince screamed in anguish.
All his hopes were destroyed by Tantai Yueming.
The crown prince's eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at him.
Having returned from the lofty life of a cultivator to that of an ordinary person, he could clearly feel his life slipping away.
In fact, because of his cultivation, he didn't even have the chance to reincarnate again.
After what happened today, his father could no longer allow him to live.
Having already foreseen the outcome, the crown prince roared in resentment.
"Tantai Yueming, I want to die with you."
After his dantian was destroyed, the prince gathered the last bit of spiritual energy in his meridians and rushed towards Tantai Yueming.
With each step he took, his previously normal-looking physique began to swell.
"Oh no, he's going to commit suicide."
Ning Yi, who was responsible for protecting the Third Prince, saw through the Crown Prince's plan and quickly retreated.
Tantai Yueming never expected that the Crown Prince would go so crazy.
A cultivator at the Golden Core stage self-destructing is no joke; it's no exaggeration to say it could move mountains and fill seas.
Even though the Crown Prince's dantian had been destroyed, the remaining power in his body was enough to level the entire capital.
Just as Tantai Yueming was about to set up a barrier to protect the people in front of him, two streams of spiritual energy shot out directly from behind him.
Baili Chenyuan's spiritual power pierced through the prince's brow like a sword, sending him away.
Lin Jiujiu, however, had already thrown a formation plate over, channeling her spiritual energy into it and instantly capturing the prince.
The two streams of spiritual energy arrived almost simultaneously, and the prince reached his limit. A barrier then enveloped him.
With a "poof," the prince's flesh and blood exploded like fireworks.
However, due to Baili Chenyuan and Lin Jiujiu's methods, his last bit of power was so weak that it couldn't even move mountains or fill seas, let alone make the table in the main hall tremble before it was all gone.
The only one who was injured was the fake crown prince who had always been closest to him.
Lin Jiujiu trapped them both inside the barrier, and in the end, he was sprayed with blood all over his face.
The once arrogant brat was suddenly terrified, his face turning pale, and he seemed to have lost his mind.
The Chu Emperor looked at everything before him and sighed helplessly.
