"This..."

The Commanders and soldiers of the Personal Guard Brigade were shaken, momentarily lost, with even their military bearing and discipline appearing somewhat disheveled.

According to protocol, each of them had taken a deadly oath to be loyal to the Great Emperor and the Emperor's son.

However, the one issuing orders today was the Grand Marshal. For many years, they had followed the Grand Marshal into battle, well aware of his upright nature, and they held an unshakable trust in him.

Moreover, this command was to support the rightful king and exterminate evil!

Seeing the Personal Guard Brigade in disarray, Marshal Xiao Limo, who had until then remained silent, now spoke in a nonchalant voice, "With the Great Emperor absent, Emperor Zi'an's orders are naturally of the highest authority."

"But firstly, there is evidence that Emperor Zi'an is under the witchcraft control of the Wang family, and secondly, when His Majesty dispatched us on this expedition, he granted me, the Grand Marshal, the power to control Emperor Zi'an. Now, with Emperor Zi'an deeply ensnared by the Wang family's witchcraft and repeatedly making decisions that defy reason, we, as loyal and direct subjects, must naturally eliminate the demon and awaken Emperor Zi'an. For this purpose, even if we are shattered into pieces, it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

With the Grand Marshal's words, the commotion in the Personal Guard Brigade ceased immediately.

A Commander in the Mid Stage of the Purple Abode Realm saluted toward Emperor Zi'an with a determined tone and said, "Your Highness the Emperor's Son, once we have slain the demons, we shall come to you and beg for mercy."

"Very well, the Grand Marshal indeed has impressive means! Today, I shall wait and see," Emperor Zi'an laughed in anger, yet his face turned pale, and even the tips of his fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.

That matter, he had initially not believed, nor dared to believe. Later, he became doubtful, and now, witnessing this scene, he almost entirely believed it, with only the last shred of doubt waiting to be confirmed.

"This matter is an internal affair of Da Qian, and the specifics cannot be discussed with outsiders. Clear the area of all foreign tribes," Prince De Xin waved his hand and directly ordered, "Do not let any of the Wang family escape."

What?

All members of the Sacred Gu Clan were simultaneously shocked and enraged.

These people of the Dry Country were too arrogant! This was happening on their territory, and even in front of the sacred altar of their ancestors, yet they had the audacity to clear them out!

Just as some Elders and hot-blooded youths were preparing to resist at all costs,

Wang Luo Jing suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, this matter has arisen because of our Wang family. Rest assured, our Wang family are not demons of the Demonic Dynasty, and the Grand Marshal will surely prove our innocence. Once we have been vindicated, I will then take on the position of the Saintess."

"Saintess Luo Jing," Elder Chan's face showed an unpredictable expression, "I'm afraid this matter might..."

"Let's listen to Saintess Luo Jing," the former Saintess also spoke, her gaze flickering slightly, "This is an internal matter of Da Qian, and our Sacred Gu Clan cannot interfere."

With both the current and former Saintesses speaking out, and under the urging of the Marshal's Bodyguard Regiment, the scene was quickly cleared, and even the ceramic pot containing the Heaven Silkworm Gu was escorted away by the former Saintess. Only the personnel from the Dry Country remained.

At this moment,

Prince De Xin turned his attention to Wang Shouzhe, speaking in a cold voice, "Soldiers of the Personal Guard Brigade, seize the demon Wang Shouzhe and the demoness Wang Luo Jing."

Just as the Personal Guard Brigade was about to act,

"Wait!"

Wang Shouzhe finally spoke.

He slowly stood up, composed and unruffled, "Your Highness Prince, as the saying goes, to catch an adulterer, you need to catch the pair; to catch a thief, you need evidence. If I am a demon of the Demonic Dynasty, it is only right that you take me."

"Just present the evidence, and I, Shouzhe, will have nothing to say. If you cannot, then, ha ha~~ this would be rebellion."

"Wang Shouzhe, you are on the brink of death and you still want evidence?" Prince De Xin scoffed, "Just come along quietly with us, and the Grand Marshal will judge you, and you will see the evidence. Now, it's not your place to speak."

Prince De Xin obviously had no evidence to present and was intent on forcing his hand.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Zi'an shouted angrily, "De Xin, you claim the Wang family are people of the Demonic Dynasty, yet you want to seize them without a shred of evidence. Do you think I, the Emperor's son, am just for show? Listen, all of you in the Personal Guard Brigade! I have recorded everything that happened today with an Imaging Disk."

As he spoke, Emperor Zi'an took out a Sky Mechanism Recording Disk and said, "If it is proven that Wang Shouzhe is a demon of the Demonic Dynasty, I will have nothing to say against his arrest. But if there is no evidence, then your actions today amount to rebellion! All who partake will be traitors to the country! In time, His Majesty will uphold justice for us all!"

```

"As he spoke, Emperor Zi'an handed the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk to Prince Dede," he said coldly and angrily, "Prince Dede, if the Personal Guard Brigade and the Grand Marshal dare to defy the orders of this Emperor's son without evidence, it is definitely an act of rebellion. You take this Imaging Disk and break through at all costs to appeal for justice from the Great Emperor. All the members of every household involved in today's rebellion shall not escape!"

"Rest assured, even if I must die, I will die before the Great Emperor," Prince Dede said with a "heroic" voice.

The other personal guards of the Emperor's son responded in unison, "We are willing to risk our lives to protect Prince Dede's escape."

They were now sure that the mysterious guardian was indeed Prince Dede.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat grand.

???

Emperor Longchang, who was also disguised as a personal guard, was all questions in his mind.

The others were unaware of his presence, but did Emperor Zi'an and Prince Dede not know? The two of them were performing so well, giving their all in this act; what on earth was the purpose of this play?

Wouldn't everything be settled immediately if I just lifted my helmet? Why all this fuss and maneuvering?

"Your Majesty, wait for my signal when I drop the cup," Wang Shouzhe once again reminded through a secret transmission.

Emperor Longchang paused.

He had begun to feel that something was amiss.

There's a conspiracy here—a big one. What exactly is that kid Shouzhe plotting?

As expected, such actions caused a stir among the Personal Guard Brigade, and everyone turned their gaze to Prince De Xin and the Grand Marshal. Without a shred of evidence, they were about to defy Emperor Zi'an's orders, killing and capturing people in his presence—wasn't that the same as rebelling?

Every member of the Personal Guard Brigade came from military families, and if they were implicated in "rebellion"… their entire families would be involved.

Prince De Xin had not expected that Emperor Zi'an would have this move waiting for him. If that old undying Prince Dede really escaped with the Sky Mechanism Recording Disk and complained to the Great Emperor, it would be a big trouble.

He could only say with a completely dark face, "Emperor Zi'an, there is of course evidence, but the matter is too deeply involved, too extensive, and it is a disgrace to our Da Qian. How could it be made public in front of an assembly?"

"You do not trust me, but do you also not trust the Grand Marshal?"

"This makes some sense. If it involves too many secrets, it naturally cannot be disclosed to the public," Emperor Zi'an agreed instead, after a moment of contemplation, he said again, "Then how about this? On this expedition, thanks to the Great Emperor's concern, he has bestowed the ancestral treasure of Wu's Family, 'Ancestor Panpan's Protection,' which can prevent prying. How about this—let the four of us, including myself, Wang Shouzhe, Prince De Xin, and the Grand Marshal, enter the space of 'Ancestor Panpan's Protection.' There, Prince De Xin can present the evidence before this Emperor's son to either prove Wang Shouzhe's guilt or innocence."

'Ancestor Panpan's Protection.'

Wang Shouzhe, although not the first time hearing about and dealing with the secret treasure, could not help the twitching of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the Wu Family actually possessed the space-guarding secret treasure left behind by the famous heavyweight of the Divine Martial Dynasty Era—Wu Panpan.

The name "Wu Panpan" was of course as thunderous to Wang Shouzhe. She held the highest record for the new recruit training camp examination of the entire Divine Martial Dynasty Era… until the Wang Family came along and broke her record.

However, Wu Panpan had set the overall camp record at the age of sixteen when she first reached the Heavenly Human Realm, which was far more impressive than the old ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Chuanwu.

Our Wang family only managed to break her record thanks to the age advantage.

Should this woman not perish prematurely, she was likely to be a formidable being of the True Immortal Realm.

However, Wang Shouzhe quite doubted the claim by Emperor Zi'an that "Wu Panpan" was an ancestor of Wu's Family.

Judging by himself, he suspected that Wu's Family might have just discovered the True Immortal Ruins of Wu Panpan, thereby making their fortune and acknowledging her as their Old Ancestor.

Even more likely, it was possible that Wu's Family did not originally have the surname Wu and had changed it to climb onto the coattails of Wu Panpan.
