After staying in the imperial capital for a long time, Lu Fan suppressed the First Prince and left. The First Prince was now on the verge of death, and with his cultivation crippled, he was utterly useless.
"Since you planned to discard me, why spare my life!" Bei Xi sneered. "Does he still want to maintain an image of a loving father?"
"Being able to keep your life is already quite fortunate. However, it seems the First Prince is rather dismissive of this?" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "Do you know how much effort the Heavenly Emperor racked his brains to save your life?"
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have become like this. Now, I'm like a cripple. What use is this life to me!" Bei Xi sneered. "I, the dignified First Prince, am now in such a state!"
"Everything is a consequence of your own actions. If you hadn't behaved improperly, how could you have ended up in such a predicament!" Lu Fan said frankly. "Moreover, this is the best outcome for you. You no longer need to concern yourself with court disputes or those superficial matters!"
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!" Prince Bei Xi shook his head, his expression filled with a chilling coldness. "I want to become the Heavenly Emperor. That is my goal!"
"You've already become a cripple, how can you still become the Heavenly Emperor?" Lu Fan chuckled. "In your eyes, is the position of Heavenly Emperor so important!"
"That's right. As long as I can become the Heavenly Emperor, I am willing to bear any price!" Bei Xi's eyes burned with fervor.
Lu Fan shook his head helplessly, unsure how to respond. In Bei Xi's situation, even he didn't know how to speak. Perhaps everyone's thoughts were different, and their circumstances naturally followed suit.
After leaving the imperial capital, Lu Fan arrived at the Northwest Territory. Following Lu Fan's reforms, the Northwest Territory was much better than before, and the people's livelihood had improved.
"According to the Heavenly Emperor's wishes, you will spend your life in the Northwest Royal City. Live there well!" Lu Fan said frankly. "Don't overthink things!"
Bei Xi said nothing more and didn't pay much attention to Lu Fan's words, seeming unwilling to accept his fate and still harboring ambitions.
"In another three days, we should arrive at the Northwest Royal City!"
Lu Fan said softly, "This matter has finally come to a conclusion. Once we reach the Northwest Royal City, you must behave yourself. Although you were the First Prince before, you are not now!"
"Do you really think you can peacefully be the King of the Northwest after returning to the Northwest Royal City?" Bei Xi said coldly. "To tell you the truth, the Hell Dynasty is already plotting to make a move against the Heavenly Court Dynasty. It's likely that a conflict will arise between the two dynasties soon!"
"So what!" Lu Fan shrugged. "If there is a conflict, as the King of the Northwest, I naturally cannot stand idly by!"
"The Hell Dynasty is not as simple as you think!"
Bei Xi smiled faintly, appearing quite expectant.
"You were, after all, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Court Dynasty. Even if you are not now, you were at least then!"
Lu Fan spoke. "But now it seems you quite hope for something to happen?"
"I have become a cripple. All of this was caused by that person. I want to witness firsthand the annihilation of his Heavenly Court Dynasty. Only then can I feel at ease!" Prince Bei Xi said angrily.
"It seems the Heavenly Emperor shouldn't have let you go, being so ungrateful!" Lin Fan said coldly, with a hint of displeasure.
"Everything I've done was also forced by him!"
Prince Bei Xi said frankly. "But all of this will end soon. It should be within my expectations!"
"Don't worry, as people of the Heavenly Court Dynasty, we will absolutely not let the people of the Hell Dynasty succeed!"
Lu Fan smiled coldly. "Moreover, you are a prince of the Heavenly Court Dynasty. To speak such unfeeling words, aren't you too disappointing!"
"I am no longer that, and no one can control me!" Prince Bei Xi said coldly. "I will definitely make my father pay the price and let him know my capabilities!"
Lu Fan stood rooted to the spot, saying nothing more. He felt helpless regarding Bei Xi's words.
As they were talking, a group of people in black appeared not far away, radiating an imposing aura, blocking Lu Fan's convoy.
"Your Highness, they seem to be death warriors of the Hell Dynasty!"
Several generals spoke, immediately becoming vigilant. They hadn't expected people from the Hell Dynasty to appear here, and to be so audacious.
"Death warriors of the Hell Dynasty?"
Lu Fan frowned. Even he hadn't expected people from the Hell Dynasty to be here.
"They are here to pick me up!"
Bei Xi laughed loudly. "From now on, I will be the King of the entire Heaven. This is the agreement I reached with them!"
"You are too fanciful. They won't crown you king after occupying the Heaven!" Lu Fan shook his head, looking at the death warriors, his eyes filled with a cold glint.
In that instant, the death warriors charged towards Lu Fan and his group, appearing arrogant and not taking Lu Fan and his men seriously at all.
Numerous guards sprang into action, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent. They knew very well that this was no trifling matter, and a moment's carelessness could lead to their death at the hands of these death warriors.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan stood beside Prince Bei Xi, quietly observing everything. These death warriors were not the real threat. The true danger lay in a hidden aura behind them.
This aura was extremely powerful, and even Lu Fan felt pressure, his expression turning solemn. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Under normal circumstances, after Bei Xi was crippled, no one should have known. Why had the news leaked?
Thinking of this, Lu Fan became somewhat suspicious, even suspecting that there were still spies from the Hell Dynasty within the imperial capital.
"No! It seems only a few people knew about this!" Lu Fan's thoughts raced, and he frowned.
He knew very well that this was a secret matter. How could people from the Hell Dynasty know about it?
However, at this moment, many of the Hell Dynasty's death warriors had already met their demise. Their expressions were grim, but they were fearless of death. After all, they were death warriors of the Hell Dynasty and naturally wouldn't care about these things.
After dealing with them, the guards came to Lu Fan's side. "Lord King, this matter is not trivial. For people from the Hell Dynasty to come and snatch someone, they must be prepared!"
"I am aware of that, of course!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "There's no need for you to be overly nervous. Just protect the Prince!"
Everyone nodded, not daring to harbor any doubts. They knew that some things could be done, and some could not. Any slight misstep could cause unrest.
