Chapter 1701: Divine Armament Marquis and Southern Heaven War God
Originally, the coronation ceremony was already a foregone conclusion, but no one had expected that there would be a sudden change. In the presence of the God-conferred Lord, there were still people who prevented the Crown Prince from inheriting the throne.
On the square, in front of the Divine Yang Hall, all the experts, nobles, and ministers looked at the person who spoke.
When they saw the person who spoke, their faces changed drastically. Some people were happy while others were worried.
Li Zhengyang turned around and was slightly angry. Under such circumstances, the succession was full of twists and turns. It was not easy for a god-conferred lord to appear, but now someone came out to cause trouble. It would be strange if he was not angry.
Looking at the newcomer, he was instantly shocked and his expression became extremely ugly.
"Marquis Shenji!"
"Heavenly South War God!"
Everyone present had different expressions on their faces as they exclaimed.
They hadn’t expected that it would be Marquis Shenji and the Heavenly South War God. Everyone present was an important figure of the empire, so they naturally recognized the two. It wasn’t just them, as everyone in the Pure Sun Empire would recognize them.
He was one of the ten great experts of the Pure Sun Empire, the commander of the five great armies of the Pure Sun Empire, and his status was on par with a god-conferred lord.
The other was the God of War of the Pure Sun Empire. He was the undefeated legend of the army and the soul of the entire army. He was the God of the entire army and had reached the peak of the Demigod Realm. He could be said to be one of the top three existences in the Pure Sun Empire.
It was simply unimaginable for two people like them to gather together to stop the Crown Prince from inheriting the throne.
"Greetings, Saint Emperor."
"Greetings, Saint Emperor."
Marquis Shenji and the God of War of the Southern Heaven Army walked past Li Zhengyang, completely ignoring his existence.
With their status, they didn’t put anyone else in their eyes.
In fact, he did not even greet the God-Conferred Lord. With this appearance and aura, he completely did not put anyone in his eyes. Everyone in the world was like ants.
Or rather, even the Sage Emperor wasn’t in their eyes. It was just that the Sage Emperor’s status was there.
Arriving in front of the Sage Emperor, he bowed slightly with a calm expression.
As expected, in front of the Sage Emperor, Marquis Shenji and the War God of the Southern Heavens bowed very normally. It wasn’t the etiquette of a monarch or minister at all. The War God was actually so rude.
The Saint Emperor’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly hid it. Countless nobles and important figures of the empire were all shocked. None of them had expected the two of them to act like this.
"I wonder if the two of you have any objections."
Li Longtian was in an extremely bad mood, but he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he smiled.
The weight of these two people was too heavy. They were so heavy that even he, the Sacred Emperor, did not dare to touch them easily.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is too young to inherit the throne. Even if he does, he will have to wait a few years."
" Besides, the Empire is now facing the attack of the three empires. As for the army, I and the War God can completely resist it. If the Crown Prince succeeds the throne, he will be too young. How can we convince the masses? "
" Could it be that the Pure Sun Empire is going to be destroyed in the hands of the Crown Prince? What will happen to the millions of citizens of the Pure Sun Empire? "
Marquis Shenji took a step forward and said loudly. His voice could be heard clearly by all the experts and citizens in the square.
The people present were not fools. They knew that Marquis Shenji and the War God had joined forces to stop Li Zhengyang from taking over the throne. Moreover, Marquis Shenji’s tone was full of threats.
What he meant was that if the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, his army and the War God would not listen to Li Zhengyang. In this way, most of the Empire’s military forces would shift, and Li Zhengyang’s throne would be lost.
Marquis Shenji, please mind your words. " 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"This subject should share the Lord’s worries."
" The Crown Prince is a dragon among men. The current situation can only be resolved if the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne. Even if he is still young, he has this body, you, and the various Royal Families of the Pure Sun Empire to share the burden. How difficult would it be to resolve the three great empires? "
"Lord War God is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Imperium. Can’t you see the current situation of the Imperium?"
" The Pure Sun Empire is under attack from the three empires. The soldiers at the front are most likely the Divine Sun Army. What about your army? The War God is no longer at the front line. Could it be that he has come to the Divine Sun Hall to deliver good news? "
The God-Conferred Lord looked slightly angry. His entire life was for the safety of the empire.
Now that the empire was in danger, his Divine Sun Army was defending everywhere, but there was no sign of Marquis Shenji’s army. The commander of the three armies, the War God, was not at the front line but in the Divine Sun Hall. How could he not be angry?
As he spoke, he looked at Marquis Shenji with a sharp gaze. Finally, his gaze shifted to the War God. Everyone present was shocked by the words of the God-Conferred Lord.
Now that the empire was in a great crisis, all the core figures of the empire were not united. Instead, they were in internal strife. This made people feel a little cold.
"Since your god-conferred lord’s army is at the front line, there’s no need for my army to go."
"I still think that the Crown Prince is too young to inherit the throne."
"If the crown prince takes over the throne now, I won’t be able to take on the heavy responsibility of Shenji Marquis anymore. I hope the divine emperor will think twice."
"Please reconsider, divine emperor."
"Please reconsider, divine emperor."
"Please reconsider, divine emperor."
The expression on Marquis Shenji’s face kept changing. In the end, he glared at the god-conferred lord and said loudly.
After saying that, he turned to Li Longtian.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Southern Sky War God, who had been silent all this while, also spoke up to ask the Sacred Emperor to reconsider.
Seeing that Marquis Shenji and the War God were stopping the crown prince from taking over the throne, the royal family and important figures who had begun to oppose Li Zhengyang also bowed and asked for the Emperor’s orders.
Li Zhengyang and the others didn’t expect Marquis Shenji to threaten the Sacred Emperor like this.
If he wasn’t the Divine Armament Marquis, he wouldn’t need an army. However, with his influence in the army, the army would also betray him. The empire was most afraid of the army betraying them.
Although the War God didn’t say anything, he only asked the Sage Emperor to think twice. This was enough to prove that he was helping Shenji Hou. He didn’t even know the identity of the War God. Why would he help Shenji Hou? The difference in status between the two was too great.
Instantly, the entire square fell silent. The Divine Yang Hall was also extremely quiet.
The air was filled with a strange and oppressive atmosphere. The oppressive force made countless experts feel uncomfortable.
Li Zhengyang’s expression was extremely unsightly. He knew that the Pure Sun Empire’s matters were difficult to handle, but he had never thought that it would be so difficult. He simply couldn’t take it.
He looked helplessly at Lord Chunyang, but he didn’t dare to look at the Sage Emperor. He knew that the Sage Emperor wouldn’t stand on his side in such a matter.
If the Sage Emperor stood on his side, the entire empire would be destroyed. The Li family elders would not allow him to do so.
Seconds passed, and everyone looked at the Holy Land Lord to see his decision.
Li Longtian had an ugly expression on his face. For the first time in all his years in office, he felt that he was not supreme. For the first time, he felt that he was not even comparable to an ordinary father.
He looked at all the nobles, ministers, and citizens before finally landing his gaze on Li Zhengyang.
Everyone saw the look in the Sage Emperor’s eyes and knew that he was about to make a decision.
The atmosphere was even more strange, and the pressure was even stronger. It was simply so heavy that everyone present could not breathe.
"Haha!"
At this moment, a hearty laugh sounded in the originally quiet air.
The silence was instantly broken. Not only did everyone not feel relaxed, but the pressure on them increased.
Under such circumstances, there was still someone laughing so brazenly. This was beyond everyone’s imagination. Their expressions changed as they looked towards the side of the square, but they did not see anyone. They could not find the person laughing.
No one saw the person who was laughing step forward. However, after hearing this laughter, Li Zhengyang and Lord Chunyang’s expressions changed drastically. They were extremely excited and their bodies trembled.
"Who are you?"
When Marquis Shenji heard this laughter, he looked confused. This voice was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.
He shouted into the sky, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, as if he wanted to destroy the person who had just laughed.
The South Sky God of War looked at Marquis Shenji’s expression and was confused. In the end, his confusion turned into disdain. He couldn’t even keep calm over such a small matter.
" As the Divine Armament Marquis of the Empire, he doesn’t share the burden of the Empire. Instead, he hides in the capital when the enemy comes. "
"How can such a person be called a soldier? If you can’t even qualify as a soldier, how can you talk about being strong?"
" Marquis Shenji, if you wanted to threaten Li Zhengyang with the army, you could have left. But today, you won’t have the chance to leave. "
" Nantian, as the Empire’s God of War, your position is in the army. Do you want to become a Saint Emperor? "
Just as Marquis Shenji finished speaking, a white-robed figure floated in the air between Shenyang Hall and the square. All the experts were shocked when they saw this white-robed figure.
He had never thought that someone would actually ignore the restrictions and fly into the palace. Furthermore, he stood high up in the air in front of the Divine Yang Hall, looking down on the Saint Emperor and all the royal families of the Pure Yang Empire.
Moreover, the white-robed figure emitted a faint aura of superiority, and he had a high and mighty posture.
However, when they saw the white-robed figure in the sky, most of the people were shocked because they recognized the person who spoke in the sky.
No one had expected that this person would come to the Imperial Palace at this critical moment. Immediately, everyone present was shocked and excited.
