Suddenly!
A figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
This figure was a man shrouded in black robes, wearing a demon mask on his face, exuding an extremely cold aura.
This man in black was none other than Su Yu, the Grand Commander of the Imperial City Guard!
Su Yu stared coldly at Li Jing and said in a cold voice, "Ninth Prince Li Jing, you have quite the nerve, daring to lead civil and military officials into the inner court to force the emperor to abdicate!"
"Su Yu, the Grand Commander of the Imperial City Guard?"
Li Jing looked at Su Yu with a calm expression and said, "It was you who led the entire Imperial City Guard to plunder the people of my Yan Kingdom and force them to cultivate demonic arts?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the civil and military officials changed drastically, revealing expressions of shock.
These people were all core figures in the true court of Yan, and naturally they all knew about the unexplained disappearances of people in the outskirts of Yan.
What they didn't expect was that this matter was related to the Imperial City Guard!
Su Yu, the Grand Commander of the Imperial City Guard, was Emperor Li Chengfeng's most trusted confidant and his shadow.
What does this tell us?
This suggests that Emperor Li Chengfeng of Yan has been in seclusion all these years, actually using the people of Yan to cultivate a terrifying and inhumane demonic art.
No wonder, no wonder Prime Minister Yu Shixiong, Imperial Guard General Dongfang Ming, and Capital Garrison General Zhang Zhentian all support Ninth Prince Li Jing.
At this point, the civil and military officials finally understood the truth behind this coup attempt.
"I didn't expect you to know about this."
"It seems I haven't killed enough people."
"Since that's the case, this time, I have no choice but to personally take action and kill all of you!"
"I believe that if I kill you all, no one else will know about this."
Su Yu said quietly.
"Kill us?"
Do you have the ability?
Li Jing said with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"strength?"
"You dare ask me if I have the ability?"
Su Yu laughed loudly, and an extremely terrifying aura burst forth from his body. This aura was incredibly evil, and when combined with the demon mask he wore, it made him look like a terrifying devil who had walked out of hell.
Under this aura, the entire world seemed to change color suddenly, turning pitch black.
Not to mention ordinary civil and military officials, even the three experts at the Enlightenment Realm level—Prime Minister Yu Shixiong, Imperial Guard General Dongfang Ming, and Capital Garrison General Zhang Zhentian—changed their expressions and stared in shock at Su Yu, the Grand Commander of the Imperial City Guard.
They all knew that Su Yu was mysterious, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful.
However, the true extent of Su Yu's power as the Grand Commander of the Imperial City Guard was unknown.
Only now do they truly realize Su Yu's power.
Only Li Jing, Zhao Li, and Guo Jingfei were unaffected by Su Yu's aura.
However, Zhao Li and Guo Jingfei's expressions had become extremely solemn, as they also sensed Su Yu's power.
After all, their current cultivation level is only at the minor completion stage of the Aperture Opening Realm, which is far from the third level of the Golden Core Realm.
"A demonic cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm?"
Li Jing smiled calmly, and an incomparably powerful aura also erupted from his body.
Although this aura was only at the first minor stage of the Golden Core Realm, it was already enough to contend with Su Yu's aura at the third minor stage of the Golden Core Realm, completely blocking his aura. This made the civil and military officials breathe a sigh of relief and show expressions of relief.
When they came to their senses, they realized that their official robes were soaked with cold sweat.
Everyone looked at Li Jing with expectant eyes, hoping that he dared to force the emperor to abdicate and that he truly had enough confidence.
Otherwise, all of them would have died outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"The first level of the Golden Core Realm, minor completion?"
"I never imagined that you, a mere Ninth Prince, would possess such astonishing talent and aptitude, cultivating to the Golden Core Realm without any resources!"
"No wonder you dared to bring all the civil and military officials to force the emperor to abdicate!"
Su Yu stared at Li Jing in surprise, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist, and said coldly, "However, this level of strength is not enough!"
Today, I will show you what the true Golden Core Realm is all about!
After saying that, he moved swiftly and flashed towards Li Jing.
Clang!
A sword rang out!
A terrifyingly black blade of energy appeared and slashed down towards Li Jing!
This jet-black blade of energy seemed to contain a surging heat wave, a heat wave powerful enough to corrode everything, perfectly matching the power of demonic arts.
That's it?
Li Jing shook his head, slowly raised his right hand, formed a sword with his fingers, and thrust it out!
With this thrust, the entire world seemed to have been pierced through.
A stunning sword aura shattered the pitch-black blade aura, and the sword pierced through Su Yu's body.
A bloody hole had already appeared on Su Yu's body.
Su Yu glanced down at the bloody holes in his body, the long sword in his hand falling to the ground. His eyes seemed to clear in that instant, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face as he said, "Thank you, Ninth Prince, for helping this humble subject to be free..."
After saying this, Su Yu collapsed to the ground, dead.
These words caused confusion to appear on the faces of all the civil and military officials.
What does he mean by that?
"Witch, aren't you coming out?"
After Li Jing killed Su Yu, he spoke calmly.
"Giggle..."
A clear and melodious laugh rang out.
This laugh, though clearly moving, sent chills down the spines of all the officials, making their hair stand on end.
A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a bright yellow brocade phoenix robe, with unparalleled elegance and noble bearing, appeared out of nowhere before the crowd.
Empress Murong Qing!
Upon seeing this stunning woman, Prime Minister Yu Shixiong and the others' eyes narrowed. They were naturally aware of this incredibly mysterious Empress of Yan.
It was after this Empress of Yan appeared that Emperor Li Chengfeng of Yan began to go into seclusion to cultivate himself, and from then on he did not attend to state affairs.
"You're very good, much better than your father."
"At this age, you've already reached the Golden Core Realm, and your Golden Core has already reached the upper third grade, right?"
"Even among the nine holy lands, there are very few people who can condense a top-grade Golden Core."
"Looking at your age, even the holy sons of the nine holy lands are far inferior to you."
"If you want to be emperor, how about I make you the emperor of Yan?"
Murong Qing looked at Li Jing with an appreciative expression and said.
"If I'm not mistaken, Father Emperor died at your hands ten years ago, didn't he?"
Li Jing looked calmly at Murong Qing and said.
