Protect Our Clan Leader
Chapter 1112 - 79: The Great Emperor Summons Shou Zhe by Force! Kang Commandery Prince Falls from His Horse (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3

But at that moment, Kang Commandery Prince could no longer care about the prohibition of flying.

The force of Purple Abode Realm burst forth; robust Mysterious Energy surged madly, transforming his entire being into a crimson streak of light, shooting toward the sky.

However, just as he had flown three or four zhangs, a golden net swooped down over him. Golden light flared, trapping him within.

This net was the Purple Abode Treasure, the "Sky-roaming Net," typically used by the Imperial Guard to capture cultivators who violated the no-flight rule.

This "Sky-roaming Net" was normally managed by the head of the Dragon City Imperial Guard, Chen Jinglong.

"Chen Jinglong, you dare to stop me?!" The Kang Commandery Prince struggled several times, but to no avail, and he could not help but rage.

At this moment, his expression was ferocious, eyes red, looking like a trapped beast; where was his usual calm and composure?

"Your Highness, I am sorry. The crime in question is conspiracy, and as per His Majesty's oral edict, all involved individuals are to be detained on the spot, and Your Highness is no exception. Otherwise, I cannot explain myself to His Majesty."

Below, Chen Jinglong stood in black armor, hand on his sword, his demeanor steady and calm.

Next to him stood Chen Jinghu, also clad in military attire, and Meng Yuanbai, dressed in a purple official robe and wearing a stern expression.

Behind the three men stood officials from the Three Talents Section and the Inspectorate, accompanied by nearly a thousand black-armored Imperial Guard members, presenting a formidable and stifling array.

In the evening glow, their figures seemed stained with a layer of red light, even the black armor appeared to have traces of crimson, like blood-drenched battle armor, imposing an inexplicable solemnity.

Seeing this, the Kang Commandery Prince felt as though ice water had been poured over his head, and he suddenly calmed down.

Chen Jinglong came with an imperial command; naturally, he didn't think he could make much of a fuss and wouldn't choose to compromise as usual.

He simply stopped struggling, took a deep breath, and spoke in a deep voice, "Chen Jinglong, I am a Quasi Emperor's Son. To prosecute my crimes, the Clan House must be involved. You are not qualified!"

"I want to see Prince De Xin and Prince Yong'an, I want to see the elders of the Clan House! This is my right as a Quasi Emperor's Son; you have no right to hinder me! Even if it is by imperial command…"

Unexpectedly.

Before he could finish speaking, another deep and robust voice interrupted him, "Quasi Emperor's Son, you are no longer that."

Meanwhile.

A majestic and fierce authority rose from the south of Return to Dragon City.

The next moment.

A red streak, wrapped in an overwhelming pressure, swept across the sky from the south of the cityscape directly above the Kang Commandery Prince's Residence, and suddenly turned into a robust middle-aged man in a red robe.

This middle-aged man wore a prince's jade crown, his black hair and beard bristling, his presence daunting and awe-inspiring.

"Prince of De Wei!"

Chen Jinglong, Meng Yuanbai, and others quickly raised their hands in respectful salute.

The prince before them was not just any prince, but the administrator of the Clan House.

To illustrate fairness, the administrator of the Imperial Family Mansion is typically not a direct descendant but is chosen from either a collateral line or princes with a slightly more distant Bloodline.

Considering that too young a prince cannot command respect and an elder might lack vitality, the administrator is usually chosen from those princes who are between one thousand to one thousand five hundred years old, in the prime of their lives.

And it is generally the most prestigious among them who is selected.

Only such a choice could command respect.

This Prince of De Wei was once a figure no lesser than Hao Commandery Prince in his younger days, with terrifying Merit Points that dominated his era. Even within the Imperial Household, he was a scarce warrior deity, highly revered.

Of course, his reputation among the common people was also high, with many legends about him circulated. Even among Third-Class Aristocratic Families, many regarded him as an idol.

It was also for this reason that His Majesty conferred upon him the title containing "Wei."

His Majesty's esteem and trust in him were evident from this.

"Old Ancestor De Wei…"

Seeing this person, the Kang Commandery Prince could no longer maintain his composure, his face turning ashen.

His gaze toward Prince De Wei carried a touch of pleading, hoping he would look favorably upon his past merits and show leniency.

However, Prince De Wei did not even glance at him but stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Chen Jinglong and Meng Yuanbai below, and said coldly, "Kang Commandery Prince has defied the law and conspired with enemies, putting our Imperial Household to shame."

"This man's crimes are unforgivable. I hereby, on behalf of the Clan House, strip Kang Commandery Prince Wu Chengsi of his Quasi Emperor's Son status. For his sentencing and punishment, the Clan House will not intervene; everything will be handled according to national law."

"Yes."

Everyone responded thunderously.

It's over!

With the Clan House not intervening, and if the charges of smuggling and conspiracy were established, his fate would be like Zhao Zhikun's. Worse yet, in His Majesty's disappointment and anger, he might not even have the chance to go to the Cannon Fodder Camp!

The Kang Commandery Prince's face turned deathly pale, his eyes immediately filled with utter despair.

…

Without the honor of a Quasi Emperor's Son and with a Divine Power Territory's Prince De Wei holding power, how could the Kang Commandery Prince make any waves?

Inside the Kang Commandery Prince's Residence, seeing that the situation was dire, the guards, maids, and servants did not dare to resist and quickly surrendered.

Soon, the Kang Commandery Prince's Residence was swiftly taken over by the Imperial Guard.

However, even though he was no longer a Quasi Emperor's Son, Kang Commandery Prince was still a merit-achieving noble and Chen Jinglong left him some dignity, treating him the same as Zhao Zhikun had been treated before — placing him and the Commandery Prince Consort Zhao Yijing under house arrest in their own residence.
