Chapter 128: Silencing the Witnesses, the Death of the First Prince

"Hmph!" The evil elder snorted coldly, gritted his teeth, and his eyes kept rolling.

Just as Xu Hao said, he should have been abandoned.

After fighting for such a long time, there was not even a single sign of help. In the entire capital, there were only some ground-level battles in the direction opposite the Zhenfu Division.

There were many people watching the fun from other places.

There was not a single person moving around the Prime Minister's residence.

This is obviously abandoning him!
"If you tell me who's behind this, I might consider sparing your life!" Xu Hao said calmly.

Since I am so powerful, there is no need to hide anymore.

If someone wants to harm him, he will find them and then deal with them at once to avoid being targeted by the thief.

He didn't want to be like the Blood Dragon, always having to be alert and on guard. That would be too tragic.

So, since I have grown to this level, there is no need to endure it anymore.

"Do you really want to spare my life?" The evil elder who had originally wanted to compromise was immediately moved when he heard Xu Hao's proposal.

Who would want to die if they can avoid it?
Xu Hao smiled slightly, "That depends on how valuable your information is!"

"Okay!" The elder struggled slightly and made the decision.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

"The person who ordered me to come here is..."

Whoosh.

Just as the evil elder opened his mouth, a streak of light came rushing over.

It was the snake fang from before.

I don't know when it was fully activated, and then it flew directly towards them when neither side was paying attention.

It's too fast.

Xu Hao focused all his attention on the evil elder and did not want him to escape, so he had no time to rescue him.

boom.

The snake's fangs pierced through the evil elder's head and exploded it.

Like a bursting watermelon, blood and white poured out, dyeing the space red.

"Who?" Xu Hao turned his head and immediately looked around.

However, he found that no breath was revealed.

Xu Hao's face was gloomy.

I actually capsized in the ditch.

Moreover, the mastermind behind the scenes was so cruel and ruthless that he even discarded the Heavenly Stage like a worn-out shoe.

Tianjie, even in the Great Xuan Dynasty, is one of the most powerful people who can suppress an area.

As a result, he died just like that!

Xu Hao took a deep breath. He guessed that it definitely wasn't the eldest prince, because the eldest prince didn't have the power or the courage.

"Who is it?" Xu Hao frowned slightly, then he took a step forward, took over the body of the evil warrior, and ran towards the snake fang stuck in the ground.

He would have to look at the specifics of this thing, and perhaps he could find the specifics from it.

After all, there are too many cultivation systems in this world, especially evil ones, and you may be able to find some inexplicable abilities through divination by chance.

The moment Xu Hao fell from the sky carrying the corpse of the evil elder, everyone nearby was shocked.

"Xu Hao is not only a Heavenly Rank, but he can also kill Heavenly Rank experts? Is he even human?"

"Is it so powerful?"

"How did he practice when he was so young? Did he master some unknown practice method?" Countless people speculated.

But there was not a trace of greed in their hearts, only awe.

Tianjie, the absolute strongest in the Great Xuan Dynasty.

If Xu Hao was only at the Earth level, what else could they think?

But as for the Heavenly Stage, they had no idea at all.

Moreover, didn’t you see that all the evil masters of the heavenly rank became the dead souls at the hands of Xu Hao?
At this moment, Xu Hao's prestige reached its peak.

When Xu Hao fell, the people and forces around him all retreated and kept a distance to show their respect and awe for Xu Hao.

Xu Hao ignored the feelings and discussions of the people around him. He came to the fangs of the beast that were stuck in the ground, filled his hands with innate energy, and then grasped one end of the fangs.

Xu Hao opened the chance divination panel in his mind.

[Spirit Snake Fang, a magical weapon made from the fangs of a Spirit-grade demon snake, crudely refined. Disadvantage: After being activated with its own energy and blood essence, the Spirit Snake Fang will, over a period of time, attack the owner who abandoned their blood essence. It is considered an evil weapon! Top-tier Heaven-grade.]

"Hiss!" Xu Hao took a breath of cold air.

It’s not that the disadvantages of this evil weapon are obvious, but I am mainly shocked by the calculating behavior of the mastermind behind the scenes.

It turned out that from the very beginning, he planned to sacrifice this powerful evil master of the heavenly rank.

Therefore, if one does not have enough strength when using this spirit snake fang, he will surely be killed by the backlash.

A strong person of the heavenly rank will give up anything he wants.

"Who is it?" Xu Hao first ruled out the eldest prince.

Because the eldest prince is like a puppet, judging from all his actions, he is not a smart person.

But after thinking for a long time, Xu Hao still didn't have much of an idea, because although he was in the officialdom of the Daxuan Dynasty, he knew nothing about the configuration of the Daxuan Dynasty.

Based on limited knowledge, he might be the prime minister, general, or regent of the Daxuan Dynasty.

Perhaps there are some forces from other countries plotting in secret.

"Forget it, let's go check on the eldest prince first!" Xu Hao picked up the spirit snake fang, leaped up, and rushed towards the direction of the palace.

Xu Hao didn't know who was the mastermind behind the scenes, but the eldest prince was sure that he was his enemy.

For the time being, he still has to look for opportunities in the palace so as not to kill the eldest prince directly. Although he can escape the death penalty, he cannot escape the punishment of living.

Moreover, when he reaches the eldest prince, he can also force him to reveal the information about the mastermind behind the scenes.

At the level of the eldest prince, he is just a puppet.

"Master Xu!"

When Xu Hao entered the palace, the guards around him bowed and clasped their fists.

They had witnessed the previous battle.

They were already shocked by Xu Hao's killing of the seventh on the Earth List, and it seemed unattainable.

Now Xu Hao has grown into a powerful heavenly master, admired by thousands of people.

At the same time, what surprised them even more was that Xu Hao actually killed a Heavenly Rank expert.

Two of those untouchable masters were actually killed by Xu Hao.

"Yes!" Xu Hao responded one by one. After throwing the corpse of the evil warrior to the imperial guards at the gate, he headed straight for the inner city of the imperial palace.

In the inner city of the imperial palace, there is the emperor's harem, and outside is the clan residence and the residences of the various princes.

The outer city of the imperial palace outside the inner city is the area where some ministers need to rest when they cannot leave on weekdays.

Xu Hao was the commander of the imperial guards, so he was naturally qualified to walk around the inner city of the imperial palace, but he was not allowed to go to the emperor's harem.

When Xu Hao went to the inner city of the imperial palace, the eldest prince's bedroom was filled with solemnity.

"What do you think we should do now?" The eldest prince looked around with a sharp look in his eyes.

Seeing that no one spoke, he could not help but angrily scolded, "Speak, I treat you well on weekdays, but now that we really have to talk, you are all silent?"

Xu Hao, whom he bullied, became a Heavenly Rank expert, and is now someone he needs to look up to.

What's even more terrifying is that with such a strong man in charge of Xuan Qingxiao, not only will the Zhenfu Division be unified, but the Imperial Guards will also be biased towards the Ninth Princess.

At that time, he would definitely be held accountable. Not only would his power fall into the hands of others, he might even be ordered to be confined to the palace, and he would no longer have the chance to compete for the throne.

"Damn it!" The eldest prince grew angrier as he thought about it, and said coldly, "You bunch of useless people, don't you usually have your own ideas?"

"Your Highness, given the current situation, we can only wait and see!" The white-robed strategist, Bai Xi, gritted his teeth and suggested. Xu Hao was in a life-or-death situation, and suppressing him would not be possible in a short period of time.

And now even the Heavenly Rank powerhouses and the Prime Minister cannot take it down, so who else can?

Really forced into a corner, Xu Hao attacked and killed them directly, then escaped from the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and they could only watch.

Today, the ruling power of the Great Xuan Dynasty is extremely weakened, and no one wants to fight against the powerful Heavenly Rank who can kill Heavenly Rank masters.

"Is this the only way? Damn it!" The eldest prince looked unwilling.

But he knew that this was the best solution.

Now he also has to consider how to quell the anger of the Heavenly Rank powerhouse.

You may even have to pay compensation, give up resources, or hand over some military power.

Hey.

"Someone come here..." The eldest prince shouted, preparing to give some orders, start to lie in wait, and inform the prime minister by the way.

Although he lost this time, he did not gain nothing. At least he had established a relationship with the prime minister.

Soon, several men in black rushed in.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and give..."

puff.

Before the eldest prince could finish his words, a gleaming dagger had already pierced his chest.

"Your Highness?!"

The others were stunned, and then they reacted and wanted to help.

But the man in black did not stop at all and began to indiscriminately attack everyone in the conference hall.

"Ah! Come, there's an assassin!" some counselors shouted.

They didn't expect that in the inner city of the imperial palace, someone would openly attack the eldest prince at this moment.

However, the cries did not bring any effective rescue, as if the usually diligent guards had disappeared without a trace.

"You..." The eldest prince, whose heart was pierced by an assassin, stared at the familiar man in black in front of him in disbelief.

The assassins that he trained actually came to attack him.

The eldest prince opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his life force was completely gone. He could only open his eyes wide and fall down unwillingly.

Pfft, pfft.

Blood spilled.

"What do you want to do..." Bai Xi saw the man in black coming straight towards him and spoke quickly.

These people were all death warriors trained by the prime minister, and then presented to the eldest prince through him.

Now, the man in black has killed the eldest prince and actually wants to kill him as well.

Unfortunately, Bai Xi's voice did not make the man in black pause even for a moment.

puff.

A knife cut his throat, and Bai Xi unwillingly covered his throat, staring at the black-clad man who did it, "Why? Why do you want to eliminate me too?"

Bai Xi really doesn't want to give up.

He has always respected the prime minister and regarded him as his idol.

Even for the prime minister, he was willing to sacrifice his life and blood and was ready to die at any time.

But now, he really doesn't want to give in.

boom.

Another man in black swung his sword again and chopped off the white head.

"Hurry up, we can't stay here for long!" The leading man in black immediately escaped with a pitch-black array plate, and then placed it in the center of the hall with the blood around it as support.

Chi Chi Chi.

Suddenly, black shadows appeared on the bodies of the people who were killed, accompanied by tragic roars.

Boom boom boom.

The array plate stirred the energy, and these black shadows were strangled after they came out.

Suddenly, the entire bedroom was filled with an evil aura.

"Hmm?" As soon as Xu Hao walked into the inner city of the palace, he immediately felt a strong evil energy coming from the direction of the eldest prince.

It really takes no effort to get it without trying to find anywhere.

I was worried that I had no excuses, but now you give me one.

"Come here, there's a situation with the eldest prince, follow me quickly!" Xu Hao turned his head to look at the imperial guards on duty around him and immediately gave a loud order.

The imperial guards around looked at each other, were stunned for a moment, and then followed Xu Hao.

Xu Hao is the commander and their direct superior.

Moreover, Xu Hao is now a powerful Heavenly Rank expert. If he doesn't listen, they can imagine the consequences.

After a while, a large group of imperial guards followed Xu Hao to the eldest prince's bedroom.

"Not good!" Xu Hao smelled the bloody smell in the air, took a step forward, and rushed straight into the bedroom.

The other imperial guards also noticed something was wrong.

It's so quiet.

The eldest prince's bedroom should be guarded by imperial guards, but now, there is no one.

"Send a signal!" A captain of the imperial guards spoke directly.

Whatever happens in the inner city of the palace is a big deal.

But it was even more powerful than the attack of the White Lotus Sect.

You should know that the White Lotus' attack was only stopped outside the inner city of the imperial palace.

"What are you doing?" Xu Hao rushed into the conference hall and looked at the corpses on the ground, especially the corpse of the eldest prince, his face darkened.

Although he wanted the eldest prince to die, that was a situation where he could solve the problem with his own hands.

These people actually got there before him and killed the eldest prince and others.

The mastermind behind the scenes, in order to hide himself, even dared to attack the eldest prince.

"Let's go!" The other men in black saw that it was Xu Hao who rushed in, and they had no intention of resisting at all, and just fled in all directions.

"Want to leave!" Xu Hao took a step forward, drew out the Changqing Sword, and then the innate energy surged.

Pfft, pfft.

The black-clad man's legs were cut off forcefully.

But these men in black did not say a word. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, they bit hard in an instant, and the poison in their teeth burst out.

Mouthfuls of black blood spurted out.

The man in black advanced and fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Ah!" The imperial guards who rushed in right after him looked at this scene and were so frightened that their backs turned cold.

The eldest prince is dead!
"Search the surroundings and don't let anyone go!" Xu Hao's face looked extremely ugly.

The mastermind behind this is much more powerful than he imagined.

The Heavenly Rank expert gave up as soon as he said so, and even dared to attack the eldest prince, and in the inner city of the palace.

Although the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil, there are definitely not many people who can achieve this.

Famous figures flashed through Xu Hao's mind, but he ultimately did not act on his own.

Xu Hao didn't leave either, but stayed outside the bedroom.

After a long while, a centurion of the Imperial Guard came over and reported, "Master Xu, we've investigated thoroughly. Of the 326 people in the Crown Prince's chambers, not a single one survived!"

Although Xu Hao had known this would happen, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his eyes when he received the exact information. After a moment, he calmed down and asked, "What are the origins of those men in black?"
