"Why waste so many words? If you have the ability, come at me. If you can truly break through my Seven Prince's mansion's formation, then I'll admit you're strong. But after I'm done with matters in the Seven Prince's mansion, I'll head straight for the heavenly court's regime. No one will be able to stop me then!"
The Seventh Prince sneered, his gaze sharp, as if everything was within his grasp, and no one could disrupt his plans.
"It seems there's a hidden secret within the Seven Prince's mansion, otherwise, why would the Seventh Prince guard it so fiercely!" Lu Fan let out a cold laugh. "If I'm not mistaken, the Seventh Prince has colluded with the Hell Dynasty!"
"What right do you have to speak to me!" The Seventh Prince's expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't be bothered. It seemed to him that Lu Fan was just a fledgling youngster, with no standing to question him.
"As the Northwest King, my status is no less than yours!" Lu Fan scoffed. "Moreover, you are now a rebel. I have been ordered to come here personally. What right do you have to act so high and mighty in front of me? You'll have a hard time when you become a prisoner!"
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The Seventh Prince coldly uttered, completely unconcerned, as if he had never even glanced at Lu Fan from beginning to end.
"Seventh Uncle, matters have reached this point. If you insist on this path, my father the Emperor and I will have to take action. By then, there will be no kinship, only life or death!" Bei Mei's voice sounded again.
"If you have the capability, then charge into the city's defensive formation!" The Seventh Prince's expression was indifferent, his face filled with pride, as if in his eyes, this defensive formation could protect him for a lifetime, and no one could shake it.
"Are the Black Armored Guards present!" The Ninth Prince's voice rang out, with a hint of coldness.
"We are all here!" The members of the Black Armored Guards cupped their fists, their eyes filled with solemnity. They had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the Ninth Prince gave the order, they would attack in full force. At that moment, taking the royal city would not be impossible.
"Attack and seize the royal city, kill the Seventh Prince, to uphold the prestige of our heavenly court!" The Ninth Prince's voice echoed. Although he was reluctant in his heart, at this point, he probably had no other choice, otherwise, he couldn't explain himself to his superiors.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you really think a few words from you can break through the city?"
The Seventh Prince burst into laughter. If his plan hadn't been exposed early and known to the Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn't have to be cornered here. It was a pity that the plan had been revealed, and he could only implement it early. The current plan was to block them outside and wait for the opportune moment.
The Black Armored Guards charged towards the city's defensive formation like a tide. However, the formation was extremely sturdy, and the Black Armored Guards could not break through, leaving them somewhat puzzled. Under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful the formation was, it shouldn't have blocked their advance.
"I truly didn't expect this seemingly insignificant city to be so extraordinary!"
With a sharp glint in his eyes, Bei Mei said, "What should we do now!"
"The only thing we can do now is to join forces and break through this city!"
Lu Fan spoke, his gaze serious. Although he didn't know what kind of formation it was, if the city wasn't breached, their army couldn't enter, and they wouldn't be able to do anything about the Seventh Prince.
"Does the Northwest King perhaps have a solution?" The Ninth Prince asked. "I've already tried. Even with immense magical techniques, I couldn't shake the formation. Under such circumstances, breaking through the city is likely extremely difficult. Also, I don't know what the Seventh Brother is doing in the city. Why is he waiting? It seems like there's a conspiracy!"
"The power of the Immortal Emperor realm cannot even open this formation?"
Lu Fan frowned. He knew very well that the Ninth Prince was an expert at the Immortal Emperor realm. Under normal circumstances, opening an ordinary formation shouldn't be a difficult task.
The Ninth Prince shook his head, feeling helpless. He also wanted to try, but at this point, he found it completely useless. Even as an Immortal Emperor expert, it had no effect.
"What kind of formation is this, why is it so powerful?" Lu Fan was somewhat puzzled.
"If I'm guessing correctly, it should be an ancient secret art!" The Ninth Prince stated directly. "Only such an existence could achieve this level!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan's brows furrowed instantly. This would block their progress, which was definitely not a good thing for them. The longer time dragged on, the faster things would change.
"I have a suspicion, could the Seventh Prince be in contact with someone, and everything he's doing is for someone!" Lu Fan suddenly said, his expression appearing serious.
When he was in the Hell Dynasty, he heard from Hei Tie that among the many princes, there was one prince who was from the Hell Dynasty, with the blood of the Hell Dynasty flowing in his veins. If that were the case, wouldn't this matter be related to the Seventh Prince's rebellion?
"Northwest King, you can speak your mind. We are not outsiders!" The Ninth Prince stated directly.
"I previously learned some news in the Hell Dynasty. As for whether this matter is true or not, I'm not entirely sure!"
Lu Fan frowned, then solemnly said, "Among the many princes, there is one prince with the blood of the Hell Dynasty flowing in his veins. I have always been suspicious of this matter. If this is the case, it will undoubtedly be a great crisis for the Heavenly Dynasty!"
"Flowing with the blood of the Hell Dynasty!"
Bei Mei was slightly startled. "How is this possible? If this is true, it would be a devastating blow to the entire Heavenly Dynasty!"
"This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is, if this person becomes the final Heavenly Emperor, the entire Heavenly Dynasty will collapse, become the lackey of the Hell Dynasty, and be controlled by the Hell Dynasty!"
Lu Fan's expression was serious, showing no sign of negligence.
"You speak of this matter, and even I am unaware of it. Have you reported it to the Heavenly Emperor?" The Ninth Prince asked.
"Because it was too sudden, I didn't have time to go to the Heavenly Court!" Lu Fan gave a bitter smile. "However, I always suspect that the two matters seem unusual!"
"No matter what, let's first attack into the city. As long as we can open the great defensive formation, we will be able to forcefully capture the Seventh Prince!" The Ninth Prince stated directly. To deal with the Seventh Prince, he naturally had the secret arts brought by the Heavenly Court.
Lu Fan also nodded solemnly, but then his brow furrowed again. He knew very well that things were not that simple.
