Chapter 1345

This Vice Hall Master, although a woman.

Was nevertheless one who acted with thunderous decisiveness.

She led the disciples of the Punishment Hall, rushing toward the Jin Peng Kingdom.

Within this Punishment Hall, experts gathered like clouds.

Among them, there was no shortage of strong practitioners at the Ancestor Hongmeng realm.

Moreover, this time, the Vice Commander of the Punishment Division followed along.

Dealing with this tiny Jin Peng Kingdom would pose no problem whatsoever.

Only, just at this moment.

Inside the Crown Prince's chambers of Jin Peng Kingdom.

A withered, aged figure stood outside the window, gazing at the distant scene.

A wisp of cold light flickered in his eyes.

Then he opened his mouth to speak.

"Jin Peng Wang, Crown Prince of Jin Peng Kingdom, you truly can endure—still hiding in the shadows even now!"

His voice was ice-cold.

It was none other than the arrival of Old Ancestor Jin Peng.

This was an old fox, a fellow of deep cunning.

He had long calculated that Jin Peng Wang must surely be harboring some scheme.

And just as his words had barely fallen.

Jin Peng Wang also sensed the other's presence.

A solemn expression surfaced in his eyes.

Then, he said slowly.

"How could you be here!"

"Hmph, if this Ancestor wished your Jin Peng Kingdom destroyed.

Why would I hide? I could simply strike directly!"

Upon hearing the voice, Jin Peng Wang's pupils contracted sharply, yet he dared not speak further.

And immediately after, Old Ancestor Jin Peng continued.

"The Crown Prince of Jin Peng Kingdom is my Sun Er; you slew my own child—how shall this debt be settled!"

"Boom—!"

After the voice fell, the void between the two sides collided.

In that instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth sank.

"What do you want?"

Jin Peng Wang said through gritted teeth.

"The people of your Jin Peng Kingdom slaughtered the common folk of my Great Zhou.

The people of my Great Zhou must demand justice returned!

Otherwise, I shall destroy your Crown Prince's palace today.

What say you!"

Old Ancestor Jin Peng spoke.

And just as his voice fell.

On Jin Peng Wang's forehead, veins bulged.

Yet there was nothing he could do.

After all, the other's cultivation was simply too powerful.

He was no match for him at all.

Not only that, even his own father emperor had been slain.

And at the same time.

Jin Peng Crown Prince walked out, his face alight with excitement.

He looked at Jin Peng Wang and said coldly.

"Haha, I knew it—you wouldn't abandon me!"

A blazing fervor shone in his eyes.

"Enough, go into closed-door cultivation first.

Once I have destroyed the Han Emperor, I shall send you into the Spirit Pool for baptism!"

Jin Peng Wang said in a low voice.

1193 Breaking free from the other's control

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Upon hearing the words, Jin Peng Crown Prince said with a smile.

Then, he took his leave.

His injuries had healed.

Just from this brief exchange, he understood this grandfather's affection for him.

Therefore, he knew clearly in his heart that as long as he performed well enough this time.

Perhaps, he could break free from the other's control.

And just as Jin Peng Crown Prince had just returned to his own residence.

The figure of Jin Peng Old Ancestor appeared in midair.

A ferocious glint flickered in his eyes.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he said.

"Pass down my order to the Hall of Punishment — raze the entire Jin Peng Kingdom to the ground for me.

No need to take anyone alive. Leave none!"

After his words fell, he swept off toward the distance.

Over these years, he and the Crown Prince of Jin Peng were not uncle and nephew at all.

On the contrary, their relationship was one of mutual benefit.

The weaker Jin Peng Kingdom's strength, the easier it was for Jin Peng Old Ancestor to control.

What he needed was a puppet, not a man with ambition.

As for the Crown Prince of Jin Peng, he was the best choice.

So long as he kept the other under his thumb.

Jin Peng Kingdom would never be able to turn the tables.

Such a scheme, he had tried time and again with great success.

And upon hearing the order.

The great army instantly moved.

Several thousand experts at the ninth level of Ancestor Hongmeng Sage.

Charged toward Jin Peng Kingdom to kill.

On their faces, a bone-chilling killing intent showed.

And at this moment, the Jin Peng King, too, revealed a look of terror in his eyes.

The experts within Jin Peng Kingdom had suffered devastating losses in this battle.

Now they could hardly resist at all.

"Boom!"

A fist smashed out.

It directly punched through the Crown Prince of Jin Peng's chest.

Then, he said casually.

"Remember, you are no match for this king.

From now on, behave and obey me, and you'll still have a way to live. Otherwise, you die!"
