The second prince's expression changed, clearly indicating that he had also considered this possibility.
To be honest, the Crown Prince was too arrogant today. If he had divided his forces to deal with several brothers at the same time, but instead brought Peacock King, Lion Clan, Tiger Clan and other helpers with him, he would definitely not have been a match for him.
But then I thought, even if he beat me, he would still have to face that monster, Zuan, and in the end, he would only be doing the work for someone else.
"King Peacock, you are wise. It was not that I wanted to kill the Crown Prince, but that the Crown Prince wanted to kill me. I was only acting in self-defense." The Second Prince has now calmed down and understands that the throne is now out of reach. As long as he can save his life, that's all that matters. As long as he's alive, he can always fight again.
"Self-defense?" King Peacock sneered. "I don't care about your personal grudges. If my daughter's reputation is damaged, she deserves to die!"
After saying that, he immediately swept a five-colored divine light towards the Second Prince.
The second prince's expression changed drastically. Being in the same royal court, how could he not know the power of the Peacock Royal Family's Five-Colored Divine Light?
He was about to dodge, but he was enveloped by the five-colored divine light. He felt as if his whole body was frozen in place, and he could only exert all his strength to circulate his cultivation, and a black flame rose from his body to resist the five-colored divine light.
However, it was visibly smoking all over, so it would probably turn to ashes soon.
Zu An was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Kong Nanwu's father to be so domineering. Well, he was also handsome, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter.
He couldn't help but glance at the Great Elf King, and privately compared them. He realized that his cheap father-in-law was a tiny bit more handsome, but the Peacock King had an aura of authority that made him seem much more reliable than his silly, narcissistic father-in-law.
Just then, a golden light swept by, scattering the five-colored divine light of the Peacock King.
Peacock King's face darkened, and he looked in another direction: "Little Golden Roc King, are you going to stop me?"
A golden light flashed, and a young man in golden armor appeared on a rooftop not far away. He was none other than the current patriarch of the Great Roc Clan, the Little Golden Roc King.
Everyone secretly exclaimed in amazement. This movement technique is really fast. No wonder the Roc Clan is recognized as the fastest among the demon races. Only the Golden Crow Flowing Light of the royal family can compare with it.
King Golden Roc smiled slightly: "King Ming, please calm down. I know you are very angry right now, but the princes have been fighting amongst themselves, which has almost led to the extinction of the old Demon Emperor's bloodline. Now only the Second Prince and the Little Prince are left. If we kill the Second Prince now, the Little Prince is still young. What if something happens to him? Wouldn't that make the Demon Emperor's lineage completely extinct?"
After saying that, he gave the little demon queen an apologetic smile: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I was not cursing the little prince, but was thinking of the entire demon race."
The little demon queen snorted. As a mother, she naturally wouldn't give him a good look after hearing such unlucky words.
Peacock King frowned. If he insisted on this, wouldn't he be guilty of causing the Demon Emperor to have no descendants?
What's the deal with this little Golden Roc King?
His father died under mysterious circumstances, so he should deeply resent the Golden Crow royal family. If anyone truly wanted the old demon emperor to die without an heir, it would be him. Why is he speaking up for them instead?
At this moment, several elders nodded in agreement. The First Elder said, "That's right, what the Little Golden Roc King said makes sense." The Peacock King sneered, "The Second Prince caused a bloodbath in the royal court today, and you think it's all over?"
Little Golden Roc King shook his head slightly: "Both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are responsible for today's disaster. It's alright that the Crown Prince is dead; the Second Prince may be spared the death penalty, but he can't escape punishment. I just received news that the Netherworld Seal has been disturbed and the Ghost Clan seems to have started to invade again. It's a good time to send the Second Prince to suppress them and cleanse him of his sins."
"Netherworld Seal!" The demons present all paled, whispering among themselves, each looking as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Netherworld Seal? Ghost Clan?" Zu'an was puzzled, wondering why he hadn't heard of such information before.
The Little Demon Queen seemed to see her confusion and kindly explained, "The so-called Ghost Clan is a collective term for some dark and evil creatures, as if they came from another terrifying space. A long, long time ago, the Demon Ancestor united with other races in the world to drive back the invading Ghost Clan and then successfully sealed the gap in their invasion of this world. This is the so-called Netherworld Seal."
Zuan's heart stirred. The Reverse Scale Death Worm he had encountered in the Yu family's mine was also a monster that seemed to have invaded from another world. He wondered if they also belonged to the Ghost Clan.
"The battle against the Ghost Clan was cruel and bloody, with countless top experts from various races falling. Otherwise, the human race would not have had the opportunity to rise." When she said the last sentence, the Little Demon Queen realized that Zu An was also a human. She quickly gave him an apologetic look. Her watery eyes seemed to speak volumes, making it impossible to be angry with her.
"The Ghost Clan is truly powerful, and the Netherworld Seal is not so stable over time. So every now and then, Ghost Clan members will infiltrate. Of course, the scale is much smaller than the invasion back then. Therefore, the Demon Clan often sends troops to eliminate those invading Ghost Clan members, and at the same time sends experts to reinforce the Netherworld Seal."
Zuan nodded inwardly. Just as this world contains all sorts of secret realms, both humans and demons can explore and seek treasures there. And isn't this world also a kind of secret realm for those ghosts? Naturally, they also want to invade this beautiful and rich world, and the natives will certainly rise up in resistance.
“However, even if the invading demons are not large in scale, each time we eliminate them, we pay a heavy price. According to the Little Golden Roc King, this time the invading demons are more numerous than ever before, and eliminating them will definitely be a very dangerous task.” The Little Demon Queen’s voice was also full of hesitation.
At this moment, the illusory figure of the Grand Elder in the sky looked at the Second Prince: "Are you willing to guard the Netherworld Seal and atone for your sins through meritorious service?"
