Chapter 677: How Could It Be So Easy to Kill a Sovereign?
"The Prince Yu entered the High Priest's residence, stayed for less than half an hour, and then left."
"After he left, no one else entered the High Priest's residence, and the High Priest never left either."
"Her Highness the Princess's whereabouts are unknown, but according to previous intelligence, she has already stepped into the Nepenthe Realm. Among His Majesty's many children, only this princess stands out. If His Majesty truly passes away, we must kill her first."
Voices echoed in a secluded area of the royal city. In this remote place, several figures were gathered, their faces unclear, but their auras were powerful. There was no doubt they were existences of the same level as those in the Nepenthe Realm.
Especially the powerful existence sitting in the main seat, whose aura was even more intense. Demon qi constantly spilled from their body, indicating they had likely reached the end of Nepenthe.
"The death or life of His Majesty is hard to say. At least for now, we cannot act rashly. If His Majesty returns, we won't have a good ending."
The powerhouse at the end of Nepenthe said calmly, "His Majesty is skilled in schemes, and is deeply shrewd, and his political cunning is even more outstanding. Whether or not he has returned to the demon territory, or is still hiding in the shadows, it's hard to say. If any of you act rashly, you'll die."
One of the great demons frowned and said, "The situation in the desolate north is so overwhelming, it's clear that the Great Liang Emperor is not the same as before. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have been treated like this. From my perspective, His Majesty is likely severely injured right now, and it may be a long time before he recovers. Now is our best opportunity."
"Yes, even if His Majesty wins against a powerful existence like this, it will undoubtedly be a pyrrhic victory too. In my opinion, His Majesty must be at his weakest right now, and this is our greatest chance."
