Space tunnels often contain temporal and spatial turbulence. Even in the most developed secret realms, no one dares to make the slightest mistake when passing through these space tunnels. So, if the Demon Emperor really did have an accident here, the others could barely understand it.
At this moment, General Wu Cheng couldn't help but question, "Then why did His Majesty the Demon Emperor send the Crown Prince back first, insisting on staying in such a dangerous place himself?"
Crown Prince Jinwu knew that his father had entrusted these five generals with command of the Jinwu Guard, clearly indicating that they were his most trusted confidants. He could only patiently reassure them, "This was originally a confidential matter, but now I have no choice but to reveal it. The reason Father stayed there was because he obtained a clue about the elixir of immortality and went to search for it..."
Then he briefly talked about the matter related to the elixir of immortality, omitting the existence of Zu'an and others, since they were either killed by the Emperor or had already died in the mysterious changes in the secret realm.
"The elixir of immortality..." Now no one in the room doubted it anymore, because they all knew how tempting the elixir of immortality was to people whose lifespan was nearing its end.
They even speculated that the Demon Emperor might have died near the Elixir of Immortality, since such a heaven-defying object must have been protected by a powerful being.
At this moment, Attendant Wufa said, "Since the Demon Emperor has passed away, the Crown Prince shall inherit the throne. This is the decree left by the Demon Emperor."
At this moment, while several generals hesitated, Hei Chifei took the lead and knelt down to pay his respects to Crown Prince Jinwu: "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
Even his uncle, who was the Grand Minister of Works, knelt down, and the Commandant of the Guards, Wuli, and the Attendant-in-Ordinary, Wufa, followed suit.
The remaining Minister Lei Xin, along with the five generals in charge of the Golden Crow Guard, were initially hesitant, but upon seeing the scrutinizing gaze of Grandmaster Wu Lao, they all knelt down and paid their respects.
Prince Jinwu was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, saying, "My dear ministers, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the group stood up one by one, Attendant Wufa said, "The Second Prince has always harbored rebellious intentions. When the old Demon Emperor was still alive, he dared to assassinate the Crown Prince. If he finds out that the old Demon Emperor has passed away and the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, he will definitely rebel. Rather than letting him prepare for a rebellion and cause chaos among the demon race, it is better to nip it in the bud."
The others felt a chill run down their spines: This is going to target the Second Prince!
