Chapter 375 Not Worth Mentioning
Huangfu Shenghua's eyes suddenly turned cold after hearing this, and he remained silent.
"This..." Murong Wu was also surprised that the Sixth Prince would interfere, and he felt a little worried.
Murong Wu looked at Huangfu Shenghua, indicating his inquiry.
“Since Sixth Brother has come to offer his congratulations, it is only right that I, as his elder brother, receive him,” Huangfu Shenghua said.
The group then went out to greet the Sixth Prince, Huangfu Lie.
"We pay our respects to the Sixth Prince!" the crowd said, bowing.
"Greetings, Sixth Prince. I was unaware of your arrival and apologize for not welcoming you properly," Murong Wu said calmly.
"What brings you here today, Sixth Brother?" Huangfu Shenghua asked.
"Haha, Your Majesty, what are you saying? It's only natural for your younger brother to come and congratulate you on your wedding," Huangfu Lie said with a hearty laugh.
"Hmm, where is Patriarch Murong?" Huangfu Lie asked.
“My elder brother has been unwell recently, but he should arrive in a little while. Please, distinguished guests, take your seats,” Murong Wu said.
After a while, Murong Wu said in a low voice, "How is the matter going? Why haven't we heard anything yet? Elder Chen, why don't you go and take a look?"
"Yes, sir."
Murong Qingqing had already come out.
"Greetings, everyone. Second Prince, Sixth Prince," Murong Qingqing said calmly.
"Hehe, Qingqing, there's no need to be so formal. I've already brought the things. Qingqing, come with me in a little while," Huangfu Shenghua said.
"Haha, Second Brother is indeed very wealthy! Such an important treasure is given away so easily. Father's health isn't very good these days. I wonder what he will think if he finds out?" Huangfu Lie said with a smile, looking at Huangfu Shenghua.
Huangfu Shenghua's expression darkened. These words were blatant accusations that he was disregarding his father's health for the sake of women. If these words reached the emperor's ears, even though the emperor doted on him, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
"Hehe, Sixth Brother, you're overthinking it. Father will naturally have other treasures to offer," Huangfu Shenghua said.
"Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary. You actually have so many legendary treasures hidden away. I'll be waiting to see them when Father Emperor celebrates his birthday in a few days," Huangfu Lie continued to tease.
Huangfu Shenghua was even more displeased. He had only obtained the legendary treasure, the Soul Gathering Grass, by sheer luck, and it had cost him countless resources.
He had no other treasures like these, and he didn't know how to explain it to the emperor. He hated Huangfu Lie even more and wished he would die sooner.
Suddenly, Old Chen rushed over in a panic and said, "Master...sir, something terrible has happened!"
Murong Wu was about to ask a question when he heard a sound.
"The patriarch has arrived!"
Murong Zhan walked to the center of the hall in high spirits, sat down straight, and showed no signs of weakness!
"Murong... Zhan, how could you..." Murong Wu said excitedly.
"Hahaha, second brother, how come I'm not dead yet, right? Not only am I not dead, but my injuries have also healed completely. You've disappointed me, haven't you!" Murong Zhan said loudly.
The guests were all alarmed, sensing that something big was about to happen.
"Hmph! Murong Wu violated ancestral precepts by participating in factional strife, plotted against the family head, and betrayed his own people. According to regulations, he should be beheaded and his head displayed to the public!" Murong Zhan shouted.
"You're talking nonsense! What right do you have to punish me!" Murong Wu said madly.
Murong Wu unleashed his full potential at the peak of the Innate Realm and attacked Murong Zhan in a single move.
"Hmph! A cornered beast's struggle! A finger strike from a distance!" Murong Zhan calmly flicked his finger, directly causing Murong Wu to cough up blood.
"Second Prince, save me, or you won't get what you want," Murong Wu said, spitting out blood.
"Useless!" Huangfu Shenghua said angrily.
"Hehe, Patriarch Murong, I have no connection with this person whatsoever. Please don't misunderstand. I've come here to welcome the bride. I hope you won't regret it!" Now that things have come to this, Huangfu Shenghua has no choice but to play along.
"Hehe, who gave you permission to marry Qingqing! And you're not allowed to call her that either!" Suddenly, a voice came from the air.
"How dare you! Who is it, playing tricks on us! Come out!" Huangfu Shenghua said angrily.
"It's Brother Bai!" Murong Qingqing said happily.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by. Bai Ke was already seated, sipping his wine.
"The wine is good, but the man is not so great," Bai Ke said, shaking his head as he drank.
Everyone was startled by Bai Ke's sudden appearance, wondering what kind of trick he used and how audacious he was.
"How dare you! I am the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, how dare you speak to me like that!" Huangfu Shenghua said angrily, though he was somewhat surprised.
"Guards! Drag this man away and execute him!" Huangfu Shenghua ordered.
"Let's see who dares!" Murong Zhan unleashed his aura as a cultivator at the Earth Rank, startling everyone.
"Earth Rank!" A strange light flashed in Huangfu Lie's eyes, revealing his desire.
"Earth Rank! Patriarch Murong, although you have reached the Earth Rank, do you really think you can protect this person just by relying on your cultivation level?" Huangfu Shenghua said viciously.
Huangfu Shenghua was also puzzled. Although Earth-ranked individuals were terrifying and rare, did Murong Zhan really want to use that to make an enemy of him?
Murong Wu was shocked and distraught, unable to accept it, muttering, "Impossible, impossible..."
Bai Ke gently clenched his fist in the air, and the Soul Gathering Grass appeared in his hand.
"System, please check for me," Bai Ke silently thought to himself.
"Ding, detecting one Soul Gathering Grass for the host!"
Bai Ke was overjoyed; after all these days, his trip hadn't been in vain.
"You audacious scoundrel!" an old man next to Huangfu Shenghua said sharply.
Bai Ke didn't even glance at him, and with a light wave of his hand, an invisible wave of light flashed! The old man's head fell to the ground!
The air suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone held back their breathing!
"Devil! You're a monster!" the Second Prince, Huangfu Shenghua, shouted. He clearly couldn't believe it; that was a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and he was gone!
Huangfu Lie's pupils also constricted! What kind of power was that? He couldn't understand it, and his body trembled slightly.
Just then, Murong Wu suddenly grabbed Murong Qingqing and said frantically, "Let me leave safely, or I'll make her pay with her life!"
"Qingqing! You bastard, let go of Qingqing!" Murong Zhan cursed.
"You dare threaten me?" Bai Ke said.
"Don't move! Otherwise I..." Murong Wu died suddenly before he could finish speaking, his head pierced through.
"Threaten me? You're not worthy!" Bai Ke said calmly.
"Brother Bai!" Murong Qingqing cried out in surprise as she threw herself into Bai Ke's arms.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you, young master!" Murong Zhan said hurriedly.
The crowd looked at Bai Ke with growing fear, not daring to speak.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm in a good mood today and won't kill innocent people indiscriminately," Bai Ke said.
"Young master, spare my life! Young master, spare my life!" Faced with death, Huangfu Shenghua could only beg like a dog.
"For Qingqing's sake, you should just die," Bai Ke said calmly, and Huangfu Shenghua's neck was snapped.
Huangfu Lie was both terrified and overjoyed. He never expected that the Second Prince, whom he had painstakingly plotted against, would die so easily. In the face of absolute power, everything else is insignificant!
