Upon hearing this, Deng Xuan'an said coldly, "Sir, you are overthinking it. His Highness the Prince of Shu is also very busy with state affairs, and it is inevitable that he will sometimes lose his composure."
"Just how busy could someone be that they could miss such an important event as the emperor bestowing a marriage upon them?"
Shen Zhao pressed on relentlessly, showing no intention of letting the other party off the hook.
"I hope the general will enlighten me, otherwise I will find it difficult to explain to the emperor after I return."
"How dare you! How can an outsider like you presume to know about His Highness the Prince of Shu's affairs!"
"Alas~ I am now representing the Emperor's messenger for the marriage. Every move in Shu must be reported to the Emperor. Since the King of Shu is a courtier of the Emperor, he has the obligation to report his official duties to the court."
"What a joke! The King of Shu has the right to govern the Shu region autonomously, so why does he need to report to the court? Are you being so aggressive and deliberately making things difficult for him?"
"General, why be angry? But regarding what you just said, may I perhaps interpret it this way..."
Shen Zhao suddenly turned around, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
"Does the King of Shu intend to betray the Emperor and declare himself Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, the Shu soldiers around Shen Zhao drew their swords and surrounded him.
Deng Xuan'an clenched his fist and nodded slightly.
"Who exactly are you?"
"A man who liberated the Shu region and established a true Shu king."
"You, die!"
Deng Xuan'an struck out with his palm.
This is his signature move: Yin Wind Palm.
In an instant, his peak Saintly cultivation was fully revealed. As the surrounding air distorted, a palm strike condensed from a powerful force arrived with overwhelming force.
But the next second...
Deng Xuan'an only saw a flash of cold light.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhao had already moved behind him.
"Huh? This is..."
Puff——
As soon as he finished speaking, he detached the head from his shoulder, tossed it into the air, spun it once, and then returned it to the broken point.
"What sword technique..."
"Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering a dog."
Leaving behind his last words, Deng Xuan'an's consciousness was completely swallowed up by the endless darkness.
"Ah, he's dead, the general is dead!"
The surrounding guards were terrified at the sight, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Shen Zhao.
Deng Xuan'an was a peerless expert at the peak of the Manifestation Saint realm, with one foot in the Quasi-Emperor realm, yet he was decapitated in just one blink of an eye with the man in front of him.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Shen Zhao spoke up: "From now on, I will take over Lingfang Pavilion. Also, I have a bad temper..."
If you don't want anyone to die, you'd better do as I say, otherwise, Deng Xuan'an will be your fate.
