Despite Qin Mu's suppression, Qin Mo did not back down. A star vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the Duke of Heng's mansion, and its colorful brilliance could not be concealed even under the blazing sun.
Qin Mu was also furious. He unleashed a vast power of heaven and earth upon Qin Mo, while Qin Mo's Star Vortex, aided by the "Heart of the Galaxy" on his chest, continuously absorbed the power of the stars above the heavens to resist Qin Mu's ever-increasing overwhelming pressure.
Private duels are forbidden in the capital city. The fight between Qin Mu and Qin Mo immediately alarmed many powerful figures in the capital city. Countless figures flew towards the Duke of Heng's mansion and stopped outside to watch the battle.
For a full quarter of an hour, Qin Mu failed to suppress Qin Mo's Star Vortex. Although Qin Mu repeatedly increased his strength, he was still unable to subdue Qin Mo, which greatly surprised the many powerful figures around him.
The Prince of Yan has been in the Heavenly Realm for many years and his cultivation is unparalleled. Yet now he cannot suppress a junior in the Earthly Realm. Although Qin Mo has always been on the defensive and has no strength to counterattack the Prince of Yan, this is enough to prove that Qin Mu cannot defeat Qin Mo. If Qin Mo wants to escape, Qin Mu cannot stop him at all.
"Fortunately, this is in the capital. The two princes were just exchanging sparring tips. If it were on the battlefield... they would have become mortal enemies. If Prince Heng were to retaliate..." Among the powerful figures in the capital, some of the smart ones, seeing that Prince Yan and Prince Heng were really going at it, quickly spoke up to smooth things over, describing the fight as a friendly sparring match, trying their best not to escalate the situation.
"That's right, that's right, it's just a friendly spar. The Prince of Yan is teaching the younger generation. But the Prince of Heng is really something, he can still hold on for so long!"
"This Prince Heng is only in his early twenties! We've wasted our lives!"
"Alas! Prince Heng's talent is indeed monstrous, but in this capital city... there is someone even more monstrous!"
Several powerful figures sensed Qin Mo's strength and were deeply impressed. Some even turned their gazes toward the imperial palace, where an even more monstrous figure resided—the youngest Heavenly Realm expert in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Perhaps sensing the sentiments of the people, there was finally some movement in the palace.
A chilling phoenix cry resounded in all directions, and a powerful aura shot straight into the sky, disturbing the power of heaven and earth in this space.
The imposing aura of Prince Heng immediately receded like the tide. Now that Wang Yushi had made her move, he had to back down, otherwise he would lose face and ruin his lifelong reputation.
"Qin Mo, four months ago, Her Majesty the Empress appeared in Lan Clan City in the Western Regions. Two months ago, she suddenly returned to the capital as a Heavenly Realm expert. The imperial physician's diagnosis is... the Empress is three months pregnant!" Before leaving, Prince Yan, Qin Mu, spoke to Qin Mo with an icy expression, revealing to Qin Mo the true reason for Qin Mu's opposition to him.
"Your Highness, does the Empress need to report to you when she leaves or enters the city? You should have asked the late Emperor whether the Empress was in the palace three months ago, instead of making wild guesses here!"
"...You'd better watch yourself!" Qin Mu stared at Qin Mo for a long time before turning and leaving.
