Meanwhile, in a secret chamber beneath the imperial city.
Emperor Solomon is in a fit of impotent rage!
"So close!!! Just a little bit more!!!"
His voice echoed in the black mist, dispersing the surrounding demonic energy and revealing his ugly body.
He looked even uglier than when he first met Ye Chen.
He had not a single patch of healthy skin on his body.
It was just like a patient who had been scalded, completely covered with black fleshy lumps, festering and oozing pus!
Through the gaps in his fleshy face, one could see his crazed eyes.
After the battle between Ye Chen and him that day, his accumulated demonic energy over the years was almost completely destroyed, but Ye Chen wasn't much better off!
He had already exhausted all of Ye Chen's energy in the secret realm!
This sounds a bit strange, as if he fought with Ye Chen and although his face was swollen and he even lost a few teeth, Ye Chen didn't come without a price to pay!
At the very least! His hand must have hurt from slapping him!!!
He didn't care how much energy he depleted Ye Chen's, because as long as Ye Chen's energy body was gone, he would have won the duel!
Because from this day forward!
This secret realm that has been weighing on him will become his backup hidden energy source!
So the moment the secret realm opened, he wanted to enter it, devour the demonic seeds that had been accumulating for a long time, and recover his severely injured body.
He was dumbfounded when he went inside.
The entire secret realm was so clean it looked like it had been robbed...
Forget about demonic seeds, there's hardly any demonic energy left!
His consciousness froze in the secret realm; it was as if a gust of wind had swept up a few fallen leaves beside him...
He was wondering when the secret realm had occurred.
He suddenly sensed a familiar aura within the secret realm!
[Holy Light]!
That energy that he both loathed and feared!
Traces of holy light can be found throughout the entire secret realm...
Just when he thought this was Ye Chen's doing, he sensed a familiar aura from the teleportation channel on the Star Alliance side!
Jiang Wang!
Moreover, he emanated an exceptionally strong holy light energy...
In an instant.
Solomon then figured out the whole story!
Ye Chen chose Jiang Wang as his successor and passed on the energy of the Holy Light to Jiang Wang!
Then came the scene where he angrily attacked Jiang Wang.
He risked serious injury to keep Jiang Wang and Aunt Li Xue alive, but unfortunately...
The Holy Light's ability to counteract the power of the Abyss allowed Jiang Wang to dodge a fatal blow...
At this thought, a glint of madness flashed in Solomon's eyes.
Although Jiang Wangcai was at the Platinum level at this time, to him and even the entire royal family, he was just an ant that could be crushed at will.
But Ye Chen's lesson should have been enough to serve as a warning to them.
When you take action, it must be with overwhelming force! Even a lion must use all its strength to hunt a rabbit!
Otherwise, they would just be the enemy's 'good teachers and helpful friends' who provide experience, equipment, and hatred along the way!
He learned a profound lesson from this incident!
at the same time.
Inside the palace.
Under the Crown Prince's leadership, the heads of various old factions were discussing countermeasures.
"Your Highness, I believe we cannot start a war directly! Firstly, it will arouse the Star Alliance's vigilance, and secondly, our men are not prepared!"
The head of the Wang family knelt on the ground and shouted first.
"Yes, Your Highness, didn't His Majesty say that we should try to capture Jiang Wang first? If not, then we'll declare war!"
...
Several family heads and ministers nearby offered their advice.
The crown prince looked at the kneeling crowd before him and sneered inwardly.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these people are gathered together in tears, seemingly for the sake of the empire; in reality, each of them has their own agenda.
War is not child's play, where you can just open your mouth, move your hands, and find a commander to start a war.
War requires supplies!
It requires troops and commanders!
And people die in war!
Especially for a super-powerful empire like theirs that spans the universe, to declare war on one super-powerful force after another.
Even if it's an order from the emperor.
The procedures for deploying troops remain extremely complicated.
Should we contact the Mechanical Alliance?
Should the Elemental Alliance send troops?
Should the businesses and expatriates of each family urgently leave the area where war is about to break out?
They are not afraid of war, it's just that this vast network of relationships hasn't been smoothed out yet, and these vampires clinging to the empire haven't gained any benefits from it!
"So, what are your thoughts, my esteemed ministers?"
The crown prince asked calmly.
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's question, several ministers and family heads glanced at each other inadvertently, and then the head of the Li family looked up and spoke.
"Your Majesty believes that we can use this secret realm incident as an opportunity to launch an attack. The Star Alliance must know that they have gained an advantage and want to cover it up and let these future seeds take root and sprout. Therefore, as long as we are firm enough, the Star Alliance will definitely choose to give in!"
"At that time, as long as the Star Alliance makes concessions and reveals a weakness, we can have the Shadow Guards join forces with the diamond-level fighters drawn from various organizations to take action!"
"With such combat strength, I believe dealing with Jiang Wang will not be a problem!"
The head of the Li family quickly explained the plan they had discussed.
The crown prince narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to their words.
Although these survivors of the World Kingdoms were greedy, they also had the ability to be greedy. Over the years, they had devised their own plan to deal with the Star Alliance.
After pondering for a while, the crown prince continued to ask the ministers at his feet.
"What if it doesn't work?"
As he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
They can talk about solutions; after all, coming up with ideas isn't like sending people—it's just a matter of talking.
But if you're talking about taking the blame, especially such a huge one...
These shrewd people didn't say a word.
Seeing that no one answered...
A dangerous aura gradually emanated from the crown prince.
"Huh? I'm asking you a question!"
...
The people underground exchanged a quick glance and then stood up in unison.
"If that doesn't work, then let's go to war!"
Since the Crown Prince had already spoken to this extent, the old forces no longer hesitated and immediately spoke up.
Anyway, by then, they had already done everything they were supposed to do!
"good!"
"You have one month to prepare for war! If the Shadow Guards fail to achieve their goal within this month, then war will break out!"
The crown prince then turned and left!
Given his grudge against Zhou Gan, if it weren't for the fact that war was indeed impossible at the moment, he would have loved to start a fight immediately.
After all, if it weren't for Zhou Gan, he wouldn't be living off a clone, and he wouldn't have to worry about his ambitious younger siblings usurping his throne every day!
As the crown prince left, those still in the main hall looked at each other in bewilderment before departing one by one!
Meanwhile, at this time, a secret research institute under the Star Alliance was located.
Jiang Wang is currently undergoing examination by the most skilled medical team in the entire Star Alliance...
After a long while, the door slowly opened.
Several medical staff members came out.
Aunt Li Xue went straight up to her and asked with a worried expression.
"Uncle Yang... Jiang Wangta..."
"There's nothing seriously wrong. All his vital signs are normal, even in the very good range..."
"Don't worry, his body... is much stronger than yours..."
The doctors then waved for the others to come in...
