Even though Yu Shixiong and Zhang Zhentian had thought of this question, they remained silent.
Emperor Li Chengfeng of the Yan Kingdom was a Golden Core Realm expert.
If he really died at the hands of the Empress, then just how terrifying was she?
They simply cannot stand against the Queen.
If Emperor Li Chengfeng of Yan had not died, and had been practicing demonic arts, they would not have been able to force him to abdicate.
This world is ultimately a world of the strong!
Ninth Prince Li Jing is still too naive!
"I am aware of your concerns."
Li Jing smiled calmly, and an incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body. This aura enveloped the entire hall, making it seem as if the entire hall was in turmoil, as if it were about to be completely crushed.
"Golden Core Realm..."
Sensing the aura emanating from Li Jing, Yu Shixiong and Zhang Zhentian exclaimed in shock.
None of them expected that Li Jing, the most low-key and least noticeable ninth prince of Yan Kingdom, was actually hiding so deeply that he had already reached the Golden Core Realm.
What an astonishing talent!
Is this level of strength enough?
"If that's not enough, how about adding this?"
Li Jing concealed his aura, and a burst of sword intent erupted from him, enveloping the entire hall.
Its power was even more terrifying than the aura of the Golden Core Realm cultivator from before!
"...Sword intent."
Zhang Zhentian opened his mouth and said in a dry voice.
Yu Shixiong also looked at Li Jing in disbelief.
At this age, it was already an incredibly extraordinary feat for Li Jing to have cultivated to the Golden Core Realm.
He can already be considered the most outstanding genius in the Burial Ground of Immortals!
If word gets out, those holy lands will probably be tempted to come and snatch him away, vying to have Li Jing join their respective sects.
It's not impossible that he could even be included among the holy sons of the Holy Land!
Because he's too young!
Their talent and aptitude are simply too extraordinary!
As the most low-key and least noticeable ninth prince of the Yan Kingdom, the cultivation resources he could obtain were extremely scarce.
With this little bit of cultivation resource, he was able to reach the Golden Core Realm.
If given enough resources, not to mention the Nascent Soul Realm, even the Transformation Realm or the Cave Heaven Realm would be a piece of cake!
Who knew that Li Jing not only possessed extraordinary talent in cultivation, but also comprehended the legendary concept of sword intent.
They were now certain that, if Li Jing wished, he could choose any of the nine sacred sites of the Burial Grounds.
Every holy site would want him to be their holy son!
"Now I can have your support, right?"
Li Jing withdrew his sword intent and spoke calmly.
"This old minister pays his respects to Your Highness."
Yu Shixiong took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions, then knelt down before Li Jing and spoke with utmost respect.
"This humble general greets Your Highness."
Zhang Zhentian knelt down without hesitation and said in a strong and clear voice.
"Zhang Zhentian!"
Li Jing spoke in a deep and powerful voice.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Zhang Zhentian spoke loudly.
"You shall immediately proceed to the Beijing Garrison and mobilize 50,000 troops to blockade the entire city of Yanjing!"
Li Jing said in a deep voice, "You will personally lead an army of 250,000 to surround the entire palace!"
Whether it's Yanjing City or the Imperial Palace, without my order, you can only enter, not leave!
No one is an exception!
I'll be waiting for you at the Meridian Gate!
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Zhang Zhentian said firmly.
Li Jing waved to Zhang Zhentian.
Zhang Zhentian bowed and then used his lightness skill to leave.
After watching Zhang Zhentian leave, Li Jing looked at Yu Shixiong and said, "Yu Shixiong."
"Your old minister is here."
Yu Shixiong said respectfully.
"You may go to the Wenyuan Pavilion and summon all the civil and military officials to wait at the Meridian Gate."
"I will lead all the civil and military officials to the Qianqing Palace to request my father to abdicate!"
Li Jing spoke with righteous indignation and resounding confidence.
"Your humble servant obeys!"
Yu Shixiong bowed to Li Jing and then slipped away.
Both Zhang Zhentian and Yu Shixiong used their lightness skills to leave immediately, completing the task Li Jing had assigned them as quickly as possible.
"Your Highness, shall we go and see General Dongfang Ming of the Imperial Guard?"
After watching Zhang Zhentian and the other man leave, Zhao Li said in a low voice.
"Of course I'm going to see Dongfang Ming."
"Guo Jingfei should already be selecting guards for the Imperial Guard."
A glint of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li paused for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on his face as he said, "This old servant understands Your Highness's meaning."
His Highness instructed Guo Jingfei to select guards from the Imperial Guard.
The real purpose was to have him intimidate the Imperial Guards.
"Is this preparation for Your Highness to subdue Dongfang Ming?"
Li Jing smiled calmly and walked out of the hall.
Guards?
He never intended to have a guard.
From this day forward, he is no longer the Ninth Prince, but the Emperor of Yan.
He sent Guo Jingfei to select elite Imperial Guards in preparation for Guo Jingfei to take command of the Beijing Garrison, which consisted of 300,000 troops.
These 5,000 elite Imperial Guards will be able to help Guo Jingfei completely control the 300,000-strong Beijing Garrison in the shortest possible time.
