As soon as Huang Boqi said this.
The kneeling officials shrank back sharply.
They were well aware of the royal family's apprehension towards the Marquis's residence, and they had some guesses about the royal family's actions over the years.
But all of this is done in the shadows, because once it's brought into the open, it's a fight to the death.
But to their utter surprise, Crown Prince Yiboqi skipped even the pretense of politeness.
They made things clear from the start.
Through Yi Boqi's words, they also understood that today's matter was not about deciding on a new crown prince successor.
It was a trap set by His Majesty.
Looking at Emperor Chongyang, who stood on high with a cold smile and eyes full of killing intent, Qi Shanlin took a step forward.
"Stop playing dumb with those expressions. I'm going to take you down today. Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. I've been putting up with you for too long."
Qi Shanlin was the most vehemently opposed to Dayang.
He witnessed all the shamelessness of the royal family, and his best brother, the second uncle of Yi Boqi, died as a result of this royal conspiracy.
The old marquis and his three sons fought for his royal family, but were secretly betrayed by the enemy and died tragically on the battlefield.
But that wasn't enough; they also wanted to wipe out the entire Marquis's household.
What's the point of protecting such a royal family?
Upon hearing Qi Shanlin's words, Emperor Chongyang laughed heartily, then looked at Dongfang Zhige.
"Prime Minister, did you instigate this? Are you plotting a rebellion?"
Dongfang Zhige looked at Emperor Chongyang and slowly shook his head.
"Qi'er is right. Your so-called forbearance is nothing but an excuse for your cowardice and incompetence. Today you have set a trap, yet you still want to play with words and leave yourself a reason to be praised by the world."
As he spoke, Dongfang Zhige shook his head again.
"You fear being condemned by the world for wantonly killing the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion and me, the current prime minister, but you don't know that public opinion is always written by the victors."
"No matter how I manage the court, no matter how much the Marquis of Shenwei's lineage fights for you, I cannot gain your trust, nor can I dispel your suspicion and murderous intent. Since that's the case, there's no need for further words. Let's make our move."
Hahaha....
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongyang burst into laughter again, then his smile vanished as he looked at Dongfang Zhige.
"What the Prime Minister says is very true; I was being too attached to appearances."
Then his hands suddenly jerked.
With a deafening roar, a massive array of light suddenly appeared, centered on the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, enveloping the entire plaza.
"How could you possibly fathom the depths of my forbearance? Today, I will reveal to you the true purpose behind my forbearance and scheming."
As the massive formation sealed off the plaza, the kneeling officials were immediately thrown into a panic.
He immediately kowtowed and begged Emperor Chongyang for mercy to show his loyalty to the Great Yang.
But Emperor Chongyang gave a cold smile at their kowtows and pleas for mercy.
"Since you are all so loyal to the Great Yang, even unto death, then I will give you this opportunity to be loyal."
With a flick of his sleeve, endless golden energy suddenly rose up, carrying a chilling and sharp aura as it slashed down at the ministers.
Blood flowed like a river in an instant, and heads rolled off the ground.
Hundreds of the ministers of the Great Yang were hacked to pieces, and they were dead beyond any hope of survival.
Emperor Chongyang didn't even glance at those people, but instead looked at Yi Boqi and Dongfang Zhige.
"It is a fundamental principle of heaven and earth that a subject must die if the ruler commands him to. Using merit to coerce the ruler is a heinous crime."
"Today, in the name of the Lord of the Great Sun, I hereby declare that you traitors and rebels are to be executed. Do not kneel down and thank me!"
As soon as the sound faded, his sleeves rolled up again, and the killing power within the great formation was unleashed, whistling towards Yi Boqi and the others.
"You're talking too much nonsense, I can't take it anymore."
Just as the killing power of the formation was about to arrive, Qi Shanlin suddenly threw a punch.
The massive fist wind and the power of the formation collided with a tremendous roar, and the huge fist shadow and the power of the formation disappeared simultaneously.
Qi Shanlin, who had shattered the formation's attack with a single punch, took a step into the air and threw another punch at the formation barrier.
The moment Qi Shanlin made his move, Emperor Chongyang's expression changed drastically.
"Infant realm?"
"A mere unknown prefect of the capital has the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm. You have truly hidden yourself well. No wonder you dare to act so recklessly. But to think you can break through my extermination with this is wishful thinking!"
As soon as Emperor Chongyang finished speaking, he once again mobilized the power of the great formation to attack Qi Shanlin.
boom!
A loud bang was heard, and the array barrier shook violently under Qi Shanlin's punch. Qi Shanlin was also shaken and retreated several steps in mid-air.
Just as he stopped, an endless killing force arrived instantly.
Buzz!
A huge black spear suddenly appeared, blocking Qi Shanlin's path.
Dongfang Zhige has made his move.
After taking the blow for Qi Shanlin, Dongfang Zhige shouted at Qi Shanlin.
"Let's attack together and break the formation!"
As Qi Shanlin and Dongfang Zhige attacked the array barrier together, Emperor Chongyang let out another cold laugh.
"Within the capital, I am invincible. To think you can break through this formation is wishful thinking."
"die!"
As soon as the hand seal was activated, the great formation suddenly changed, and a golden giant sword over a hundred feet long suddenly appeared, slashing down at Dongfang Zhige and the other two.
The enormous golden longsword was formed from the power of the formation and was the strongest killing move of the Qianjin Ten Killing Formation.
The moment the giant sword struck, the expressions of Dongfang Zhige and Qi Shanlin changed.
Because the power of this sword strike has reached the strongest attack of the peak Nascent Soul stage.
Qi Shanlin slammed his fists together, then suddenly unleashed a powerful punch at the giant sword.
The giant tiger formed from the force of the fist roared to the sky and pounced fiercely on the giant sword.
With a flick of his wrist, Dongfang Zhige's spear transformed into a massive black dragon, attacking the giant sword from the other side.
