Chapter 1513: Imperial Decree

dn't take you on a trip to the northwest region and have you study an array, did I"Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Xiao Fengling first looked confused, then tilted her head and scratched her forehead."O...They stared blankly at the corpse, then looked up to the figure in the distance sky.

The Son of the Great Honghuang... actually lost!

And, to be defeated so utterly!

One round!

In just one round, Prince Rongdao killed Crown Prince Hongtian!

A complete and utter annihilation, leaving not even a breath.

The Hongtian Prince died a horrific death, he died with his eyes wide open, and his body was not recovered!

Why... What is the reason for this!

Even if the Heavenly Emperor's Son isn't the strongest among princes, he is definitely one of the top fighters!

While Rong Dao was a prince... at most, he could only be ranked in the upper-middle tier. How could he possibly have so easily killed Emperor Hong's son

What is going on here

Could this be a dream!

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

These guards were blank-minded, kneeling on the ground.

"According to the laws within the Imperial Throne, Hongtian's territory should belong to me, shouldn't it"

At this time, Fang Yu in the air spoke.

At the sound, the guards shuddered again.

"Yes, yes..." They dared not ignore Fang Yu, answering in unison.

"That's fine, I'll take over when I have time later. See you." Fang Yu said calmly.

After that, Fang Yu turned and left.

In a short while, he walked out of the guards' sight.

Before the gate of the domain, there was an eerie silence.

Many guards looked at the tragic corpse of Emperor Hong Tian in front of them, then at the direction Fang Yu had left, their hearts filled with terror.

……

"How is your plan progressing Did you manage to infiltrate Prince Rongdao's territory smoothly" Fang Yu was on his way to the next territory when Cangyu's voice suddenly came.

"I'm progressing much faster than you think," Fang Yu said. "I was wondering, do you really dislike this Prince Rongdao"

"Of course, that beast Rong Dao... every time we meet he has to humiliate me. Last time at the clan competition, he kept looking for a way to... If I hadn't lost in the first round, he really would have succeeded!" Cang Yu said resentfully.

"Then I'll take revenge for you, Rong Dao is already dealt with by me." Fang Yu said.

"Is that so Then you're going to find the Emperor Hong now" Cangyu's tone was noticeably more cheerful as she asked.

"Hongtian has already been killed by me, I am heading to the next territory." Fang Yu replied.

"So fast!" Cang Yu exclaimed in astonishment.

He was very clear about the strength of Emperor Hongtian.

Ke Fangyu actually killed the Heaven Emperor's Prince so quickly……

"I always feel that I'm not very efficient doing things this way. Are there more efficient ways" Fang Yu asked.

"More efficient To what extent" Cang Yu asked blankly.

"It's best to gather all the princes together and have them ascend... " Fang Yu said, "That way, I can eliminate them all at once."

"That... if it were the clan competition before, you might have a chance to do that. But now there isn't." Cangyu replied.

"The clan competition... how often does it happen" Fang Yu frowned and asked.

"Once a year, that's it. It can't be held again anytime soon anyway," Cangyu said.

"Well then... I guess we'll have to think of another way." Fang Yu said.

"I think you're being too hasty. It's easy to attract the attention of your father or mother," Cang Yu said hesitantly.

"How do you get noticed" Fang Yu asked back.

"Although our royal family's ironclad rule allows for members to kill each other... you killed too many at once. I think they won't allow it..." Cyan Jade said, "Then you might be punished."

“Well, you're right. I need to speed up my assassination plan… I need to kill all the princes before the Emperor and Empress even realize what’s happening.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, saying, “By then, if the Emperor or Empress try to investigate, I can use this as an excuse to kill them both…”

"You, you..."

As soon as Cang Yu heard Fang Yu say he was going to kill the Emperor and Empress, her heart began to race.

Such talk is fine when exchanged privately, but once it gets out... that's a disaster!

"Alright, no time to waste, I'm going back to killing the prince." Fang Yu said.

Cangyu remained silent.

……

How to quickly solve all the princes

This requires some more thought.

But Fang Yu didn't want to waste any time, so he continued on to the next territory.

Over the next period, he continuously traveled to eight different territories, from the coastal regions of southern China all the way to the vast ocean.

Of all the princes he encountered, none were as strong as Hong Tian. He defeated them all with a single blow.

Of course, this group of princes still have common ground.

The common thread is... they too were thinking of killing the 'Rong Dao' who came from afar, in order to seize their territory.

Speaking of which, under the atmosphere of the Shenhai Dynasty, killing one's blood relatives felt completely psychologically burden-free.

Because these members of the royal family...lacked any sense of kinship, and were even willing to see their own kin as enemies.

Fang Yu was very suspicious that under the ironclad rule of intra-clan killing and competition, how could the Shenhai Dynasty develop to its current state.

If a superpowered individual were to appear within the royal family, someone far surpassing all other princes by several levels, wouldn't that lead to the destruction of the entire clan

"How do you think the current Sea God Emperor came to power"

At that moment, Huo Yu suddenly spoke.

"You mean... this Sea God Emperor, really did this kind of thing" Fang Yu was stunned and asked.

"A thousand bones wither when a general succeeds, that's perfectly normal," Li Huoyù said. "What's there to be surprised about."

“So the royal family’s lineage can only be carried on through his constant childbearing” Fang Yu asked, “And he gives birth to so many just to cultivate the strongest one among them. As for the rest of his offspring, they are purely meant to be killed by that strongest heir…”

"That's just it. There are many powerful races in history whose internal laws were similar to this." Li Huo Yu said calmly.

Fang Yu stopped talking, but surprise still lingered in his eyes.

... Only the strongest, who survive by killing their own kin, can ascend to the throne of God...

This kind of selection method, even for someone like Fang Yu who has lived for almost five thousand years, is unimaginable cruelty.

But think about it from another angle... If the Shenhai Dynasty acquiesces to this practice, then Fang Yu using the identity of Rong Dao's prince to kill all the other princes should not be punished as Cangyu said.

...and killing all the princes would grant him the right to inherit the throne...

Fang Yu's eyes flickered, and he already had a perfect plan in mind.

Just then, the soul jade he had adorned on his forehead suddenly flared with light and grew hot.

"What's going on" Fang Yu stopped.

"Zhen!"

At this moment, the Soul Jade released a beam of light.

A fist-sized water droplet condensed before Fang Yu.

"Your Grace, the Empress has sent word for you to return to your lands. She wishes to speak with you in the grand hall."

A raspy old voice came from within the water droplet.

The Empress wants to see me!

Fang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Empress and Emperor summoned me for what purpose…" Fang Yu asked.

However, at this moment, the water beads before her had already vanished, and the light from the soul jade on her forehead dimmed as well.

"It seems like it was just a simple message... And this Soul Jade can actually still work... But the Emperor and Empress want to see me... It must be related to what I did before" Fang Yu pondered, resting his chin in his hand.

He is now disguising himself as Rong Dao's appearance, his looks are indeed fine, and he is trying his best to imitate his aura.

The problem lies with the Soul Jade... After all, it hasn't truly merged into Fang Yu's body, and there is a high chance the Empress Dowager will see through the deception.

If one does not go back to meet the Emperor and Empress, it would be tantamount to defying their imperial decree. After all, the Emperor and Empress's status in the Shenhai Dynasty is second only to the Emperor.

Once you disobey the order, your identity will eventually be exposed.

"What should we do" Fang Yu frowned, pondering for a moment.

He quickly made his decision.

"Let's just meet. If she's recognized, we'll take care of her inside the palace. Just try to avoid causing too much of a stir," Fang Yu thought to himself, his eyes flickering.

In fact, he had wanted to meet the Emperor and Empress for a long time.

This represents the top female figure of the Shen Hai Dynasty. What kind of person is she exactly

What else could have filled Cangyu with such abject terror

Today, perhaps we can find the answer.

Fang Yu hesitated no longer, turned around and went in the direction of his own territory.undering and shaking with smoke filling the air now.However, there was not a sound.After entering the Three Leaves Gate, Fang Yu vanished as if he never existed."Could it be that all those guys from t...
