At this moment, Cangyu is nearly a thousand meters away from Fang Yu, which is quite a distance.
However, through his divine sense, Fang Yu could still clearly see Cangyu located within the clouds.
He was staring intently in the direction Fang Yu was, his forehead’s soul jade… glowing with an extremely dazzling light.
The sudden, strange aura that just hit… was it released by Cangyu?
Fang Yu looked at Cangyu in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly.
Theoretically, Cangyu shouldn’t have the guts nor the ability to do this.
…shattering LiGuang’s soul jade from miles away…
That pulling force was different from ordinary mana, it seemed to exist within the soul jade on Guangchen’s forehead all along.
Just like a time bomb that has already been buried, as long as the fuse is cut…it can destroy the Soul Jade.
This situation…
Fang Yu vaguely sensed a hint of conspiracy.
But what exactly is going on remains unclear.
Fang Yu was just about to fly to Cangyu’s location.
At this moment, he felt an unusual presence behind him.
Fang Yu immediately turned around and looked at where Guangchen was.
At this point, Guangchen had already passed away.
All traces of his scent were gone, and there was no sign of life left.
However, his body did not fall to the ground below, but remained suspended in its original position.
Fang Yu looked at Guangchen’s corpse, his eyes narrowed slightly.
“Swoosh…”
The next moment, a surge of light emanated from Guangchen’s chest.
“Splash!”
The light formed a curtain of water in the air!
The water screen was facing Fang Yu, and there was nothing unusual inside.
Fang Yu frowned.
At this moment, the water curtain suddenly shifted!
A ferocious and angry face appeared on the water screen, suddenly protruding outward as if breaking free from its restraints.
“Ah…”
A piercing and harrowing scream echoed through the surroundings.
“Is this a vengeful spirit? No way.” Fang Yu’s eyebrows raised slightly.
You have been targeted by the Emperor! You are doomed!
At this moment, the ferocious visage let out a voice filled with hatred.
“What are you?” Fang Yu looked at the face before him and asked.
“Your Majesty will avenge Prince Guangchen! Hell awaits you!” The face continued to surge forward, as if trying to get closer to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu frowned, a bit impatiently.
“I ask you one last time, what are you?” Fang Yu asked coldly.
“You will surely go to hell…” The face contorted in fury, its voice still raspy.
“Get lost.” Fang Yu said no more, raising his right palm and slapping it forward.
“Bang!”
Raging qi burst forward, crashing into the wall of water.
The face protruding from the water curtain was directly blown apart.
The entire water curtain, along with Guangchen’s body… were all obliterated by Fang Yu’s palm strike.
Guocheng’s body turned to ashes and dissipated in the air.
Now, it was finally quiet around here.
Fang Yu looked at where Guangchen disappeared, expressionless.
Then, he released his divine sense to an extremely distant location.
That group of princes and those cultivators who had always been hiding in the shadows… they all ran away, not a single one left behind.
This was something Fang Yu had expected all along.
It wouldn’t be normal for them to run away after seeing Cang Rong severely injured and Guang Chen suffer a crushing defeat.
After the battle against Cangrong and Guangchen, Fang Yu had a general estimate of the strength of the princes of the Shenhai Dynasty.
In simple terms, it’s just four words.
No threat.
So, Fang Yu was not in a hurry to eliminate all these princes at once. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
“Cyan Jade…”
After taking care of Guangchen, Fang Yu turned his head and looked towards the distant clouds.
However… At this time, Cangyu had vanished.
“Gone?”
Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly, and he contacted Cangyu again with that soul imprint.
Soon, he heard Cangyu’s voice.
“I, I… what did I do before!? How did I get back to the palace!?” Cangling was extremely flustered, she asked.
“I also want to know what you did.” Fang Yu said lightly.
“I was just in the clouds, and then I suddenly received a connection from Mother’s will…and after that, I lost consciousness.” Cangyu paused for a moment, then said.
“Did your mother contact you?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
“…Yes,” Cangyu replied.
“What did she say?” Fang Yu asked.
<>
“Did you just say that?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Well… that’s all she said,” Cangyu replied. “Then I lost consciousness, and now… I’m back in the palace.”
“You…” Fang Yu was about to continue asking.
But just at this moment, he could feel Cang Yu’s heart beating wildly, as if something unexpected had happened.
“Mother’s here! I can’t talk to you anymore.” Cangyu said in a panic.
“Stay calm and do your best.”
After saying that, Fang Yu proactively cut off the connection.
The mark he left within the Cangyu body was very mysterious and incredibly well-hidden.
Unless the Goddess of the Sea parted Cangyu open to inspect it, the mark would remain undiscoverable.
Therefore, Fang Yu was not worried about the mark being exposed.
What worries him more is… that Cangyu might be unable to withstand the pressure and confess proactively.
However, given Cangyu’s fear of death, the likelihood of him doing so should be quite low.
Fang Yu no longer thought about Cangyu’s situation, but recalled the fatal blow he had just dealt to Guangchen.
“Since Cangyu lost consciousness, that means… at the time he was most likely controlled by the Empress, or perhaps a spell was cast through his body.” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, thinking to himself.
This process must have been extremely swift, so even though Fang Yu left a mark inside Cangyu’s body, he didn’t feel anything amiss.
“That means… the one who triggered the Light Chasm Soul Jade was the Empress?” Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. “Did the Empress want Guangchen to die?”
“Why? Shouldn’t Guangchen be the strongest prince?”
“Get rid of Guangchen…”
Fang Yu pondered for a moment at the spot, arriving at a conclusion.
Within the royal family of the Divine Sea Dynasty… there should be a hidden competition.
Within a dynasty, this sort of thing was actually quite common. Take ancient dynasties during times of scorching summer heat, for instance, such events frequently occurred.
Power struggle, interest competition.
But on the surface, Shen Hai Dihou is obviously not on good terms with Guang Chen, so she doesn’t want Guang Chen to live.
Thus, she took advantage of the opportunity and killed Guangchen directly.
This way, you can blame Fang Yu and wash your hands of it completely.
I have to say, this is a successful ploy.
Fang Yu could only take the blame for this.
But as for the other party… this pot doesn’t really hold any practical meaning.
Because, even if the Emperor and Empress didn’t interfere, Fang Yu would still kill Guang Chen.
Offending the Divine Sea Dynasty, or angering the Divine Sea Emperor… these are bound to happen.
And the Empress of the Divine Sea’s intervention unexpectedly provided Fang Yu with some intriguing clues.
At the very least, Fang Yu can now confirm… that the Shenhai Dynasty is not a united force internally.
But how many factions emerged from within, we’d have to wait for Cangyu’s account afterward to find out.
