Chapter 899: Chapter 849: Life Simulation – Interception, Deterrence
One side was well-prepared, the other hurriedly responded. At the moment when the formation technique was activated, the outcome was already destined: the bodies of the Second Prince and the Third Prince, who should have held all the winning cards, were severed from their heads.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the Ninth Prince, who was believed to be certain to die, found life in a desperate situation, reversed the tide, and took control of the overall situation. He led powerhouses into the imperial palace and forced the old emperor to abdicate, announcing himself as the successor to the dynasty.
No one had anticipated that the struggle for the throne in the Dahong Dynasty would conclude in such a way. The princes, who had been the focus of much anticipation and possessed great momentum, all ended up as losers, while the obscure Ninth Prince seized the opportunity and rapidly rose to emerge as the final victor.
“Who would have thought that this Ninth Prince was so formidable? He managed to win over the wielder of the Royal Capital’s formation technique without anyone realizing. No wonder he dared to attempt to clear the emperor’s side of dissidents even without my assistance. His trump card was right here all along,” Pei Xuanjing mused in surprise after piecing together the whole sequence of events.
Initially, he had thought the Ninth Prince had the support of a top martial artist or perhaps his own formation master who was confident in taking over the control of the Royal Capital’s formation technique. He never imagined that the opposition could have swayed the formation technique’s wielder, who was supposed to be loyal to the Emperor.
Putting aside other factors, this alone was enough to prove the exceptional capabilities of the Ninth Prince. He was not just lucky to emerge as the ultimate winner; the old emperor’s loss was not undeserved, and the other two princes had to acknowledge his superiority.
...
Next, as the Ninth Prince seized the throne, he began to purge his former enemies and reorganize the court to regain control over everything.
At this time, Pei Xuanjing expressed his wish to leave the Royal Capital. At first, the Ninth Prince feigned an attempt to retain Pei Xuanjing, but when Pei Xuanjing persisted in his desire to leave, the other party smoothly acquiesced.
