"Zu'an, what are you doing!" Upon seeing this, the remaining four were shocked and retreated a distance, secretly making hand seals or pressing their weapons, ready to defend themselves at any time.
Although Prince Yiyang was not easy to get along with, they had all been the Eight Dukes for so many years, and now that they saw their old acquaintance die like this, it was inevitable that they would feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Moreover, King Yiyang had just broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, so he should have been able to fight. Why did everyone die before they could even see anything?
What level has Zuan's cultivation reached now?
In an instant, everyone felt a sense of unease.
Everyone in the room was stunned. They had been wondering how Zu'an would handle the aftermath of the killing of Prince Yi and several members of the royal family, including Zhao Quan and Zhao Zhang.
They never expected that even the dignified Hachiko would be killed so easily. They were now wondering how Hachiko would end up in the aftermath.
The regent seems to have really angered him; will he rebel on the spot?
Jiang Luofu glanced at Zu An with some concern. Although the Jiang family's recent ordeal had made her want to kill someone, Zu An's actions were a bit extreme.
Killing the Prince of Yi is one thing, but the Prince of Yiyang is a high-ranking official and an elder of the Zhao royal family. Since Zhao Chen died, the entire royal family has followed Zhao Song's lead. Killing him like this will likely cause a lot of trouble later.
However, she quickly made up her mind that no matter what, she would definitely stand on the side of Zaun. Next, I will also try to persuade the senior and junior students of the academy to support Zaun together.
Yun Yuqing didn't care. Anyway, she came from the Demon Clan. If Zu'an couldn't stay in the human world anymore, she would take him back to the northern demon clan.
Thinking that this way she could also get rid of his confidante among the human race, she felt that this ending was not bad.
The only worry is that there seem to be some problems within the demon race.
Zuan calmly said, "I just realized that I was too kind before. As a result, as soon as I was away for a while, these people would cause all sorts of trouble and plots against me. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Since he is so dissatisfied with me, rather than having them cause a lot of trouble while I'm away, it's better to eliminate all potential threats now."
This time it was Liu Ning and Gao Ying who got into trouble, what about next time?
He has too many people he cares about, so he might not be so lucky to be saved.
There is another, more important point: extraterrestrial demons are eyeing this world with covetous intent. The Doomsday Wraith and the Plague Lord are hiding somewhere, stirring up trouble. Humanity needs to work together to deal with these external enemies, and we can't afford for these guys to sabotage us from behind.
It's better to end the pain quickly than to suffer for a long time; let's just solve all the problems at once.
At this moment, General Cheng Yuan took a deep breath: "Zu'an, do you really want to rebel?"
When Prince Yiyang asked that question just now, they thought he was being too impulsive, but now his behavior is no different from rebellion.
As one of the Eight Dukes, he felt it was his responsibility to stand up.
Zuan didn't say anything, but with a wave of his hand, the clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the starry universe.
The sight of countless demons gathering outside came into view.
Upon seeing the densely packed demons, everyone gasped in horror.
Although I had heard about demon invasions before, those were things that only a few elites had to face, and most people had no concept of the dangers involved.
But now, seeing those densely packed demons with their own eyes, each one with a ferocious face and sharp teeth, they were clearly meant to eat people!
This is far more effective than any amount of earnest propaganda from the imperial court.
With a casual wave of his hand, Zuan caused the clouds in the sky to gather again, restoring the sky to its usual appearance.
This scene shouldn't be shown for too long, otherwise it could easily cause panic among the people.
“I’ve been fighting these terrifying and cunning extraterrestrial demons these past few days, and I’m almost completely exhausted. I don’t want to have to spare some of my energy to deal with a stab in the back,” Zuan said in a deep voice.
The remaining four men exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
With a casual wave of his hand, Zuan was able to split the heavens apart. What incredible power that was!
Originally, the group had only been forced into this situation, and none of them wanted to actually become enemies with such a terrifying being. After hearing his words, they all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you have had a hard time these past few days."
If they had a legitimate reason, they wouldn't need to openly oppose Zaun.
After all, this guy is really too powerful, and he has no sense of martial ethics. Who knows if he will take their lives in the next second?
Although the imperial court left a demon-suppressing formation in the capital, they are not without the power to fight against Zu'an if they were to activate it.
However, that's only enough for one battle. Even if all eight of them were alive, they would most likely lose against the current Zaun.
Moreover, there are only four left now, and the opponent is the academy's chief priest. Who knows if those guys in the academy will tamper with things once the formation is activated.
Zu An nodded: "I'll leave the matter here to you all. I'm going to the palace to see what's really going on with Lord Jiang's rebellion."
Seeing that the others were gesturing to him, Yu Rui had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "After all, that is the palace. I hope the Regent will not... will not act rashly."
He simply couldn't find the right words to describe it.
Zuan nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The whole matter was resolved just like that, and the soldiers in the field, as well as the people from various families who came to watch from the vicinity, all had strange expressions.
If someone else had caused such a serious incident, they would probably have been subjected to the most severe punishments, such as being slowly sliced to death or having their entire family wiped out.
But since the regent did such a thing, everyone felt that letting it go was the most reasonable thing to do.
