I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

Ji Ruxue shouted sharply, her voice filled with anger and incomprehension.

The golden-armored legion before her was the imperial guard of the Ji Dynasty, and now they were actually attacking her, a princess of the Ji Dynasty. This was something that Ji Ruxue found hard to accept.

At this moment, a commander of the Imperial Guards, dressed in golden armor, stepped out from the army formation. The aura of the seventh level of the Creation Realm emanating from him was like an invisible torrent, pressing down on Ji Ruxue.

A slight, cold smile played on his lips: "Your Highness, you are probably unaware of the true state of the royal family today."

Ji Ruxue's heart tightened; a sense of foreboding crept into her heart. She asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The commander's smile grew increasingly cold, his words like knives: "Last night, His Majesty suffered a qi deviation during his cultivation practice and has passed away. His Majesty had no children, and to avoid turmoil in the dynasty, the four Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet jointly decided to welcome Prince Ji Ming to the capital to immediately succeed to the throne of the Ji family. Now, the Ji family dynasty has been turned upside down and a new dynasty has been established."

These words struck Ji Ruxue like a thunderbolt. Her body swayed, and she took a few steps back in disbelief, muttering, "Impossible! Father's cultivation is unparalleled, how could he suddenly suffer a qi deviation?!" Her voice trembled, and her face was filled with shock and despair.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian, ​​who was lying on the ground, was greatly shocked. He struggled to raise his head and shouted, "Even if a new emperor ascends the throne, Her Highness the Princess is still of the Ji clan! How dare you treat her like this?!"

The commander scoffed contemptuously, turning his gaze to Wu Tian: "After a thorough investigation by the new emperor, it has been found that Ji Ruxue colluded with the traitor who seized the Nine Provinces Seal, the heirloom of the Ji Dynasty. This is a heinous crime of treason! The new emperor has ordered the abolition of Ji Ruxue's princess status and her arrest!"

Ji Ruxue's face turned deathly pale, as if struck by lightning.

The commander turned his gaze to Wu Tian again, his tone full of threat: "Wu Tian, ​​as one of the four commanders of the Ji Dynasty, do you intend to betray the Ji Dynasty along with this traitor? I'm giving you a chance: capture Ji Ruxue, and you can atone for your crimes!"

Just as tensions were about to rise, Chu Feng walked out with his hands in his pockets. He came to Ji Ruxue's side and smiled knowingly: "It seems you're not doing too well."

The commander's gaze instantly locked onto Chu Feng, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes: "You're Chu Feng? You have the Nine Provinces Seal, don't you? Hand it over immediately, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"

"Quite the boast," Chu Feng scoffed.

"Hehehe... A bunch of little shrimps dare to make a fuss?" The Flame Demon Old Monster sneered, his body radiating a bright bloody light, and he was about to make a move.

"Hmph!" The commander sneered disdainfully, brandishing a top-grade spiritual weapon. A sharp blade of light instantly slashed out, blasting the Flame Demon Old Monster back.

At the same time, all the soldiers of the Golden Armor Legion instantly formed a battle formation, unleashing a terrifying killing aura that enveloped Chu Feng and his group.

The Flame Demon Old Monster's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, this formation is very strong. I'm afraid I can't withstand it alone. You should retreat first!"

"None of you are leaving today! Kill without mercy!" the commander shouted sternly.

The words had barely left his lips when the battle formation activated, unleashing a barrage of sword and blade strikes towards Chu Feng and his companions. The Flame Demon Old Monster was entangled in the battle formation, unable to break free for the time being. The commander, however, charged directly at Chu Feng, his top-grade spiritual weapon flashing with light, aiming straight for Chu Feng's throat!

"You think you're worthy?" A cold glint flashed in Chu Feng's eyes. He raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the azure-colored earth core fire in his palm suddenly erupted, transforming into a fire dragon that met the commander's blade light.

boom!!!

The flames and the blade collided with a deafening roar.

The commander felt an extremely violent burst of fire power instantly pierce through his blade and slam into his chest.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, his eyes filled with horror.

"This...how is this possible?!" The commander struggled to his feet, looking at Chu Feng in disbelief.

Chu Feng ignored him. Azure flames shot up from his body, transforming into a massive wave of fire that swept towards the battle formation of the golden-armored legion.

"Break it!"

Rumble—!!!

Wherever the flames passed, the battle formation collapsed instantly, and countless golden-armored soldiers screamed as they turned to ashes. In an instant, the entire golden-armored legion was annihilated!

Chu Feng walked slowly to the commander, placed one foot on his chest, and said indifferently, "You want the Nine Provinces Seal? You're not worthy!"

Blood gushed from the commander's mouth as he roared furiously, "The Ji Dynasty will not let you get away with this!"

"Snapped!"

Ji Ruxue rushed over and slapped the commander hard across the face, her usually cool and beautiful face filled with anger: "What on earth happened to my father?!"

The commander's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were filled with resentment, but he refused to speak.

Chu Feng frowned, and the azure-colored Earth Core Flame flickered in his palm. He flicked his finger, and a flame instantly landed on the commander's arm.

"ah--!"

The commander let out a piercing scream as flames instantly incinerated his arm.

"Will you talk or not?" Chu Feng's voice was icy.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" The commander, his face ashen with pain and trembling all over, cried out, "His Majesty...he's not dead! He's just been imprisoned!"

Ji Ruxue's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with urgency: "With Father's cultivation level, who can imprison him?!"

"It was Prince Ji Ming! He joined forces with the Pavilion Master of Yanyu Pavilion and the four Grand Secretaries of the Inner Cabinet to make this move!" the commander said, trembling.

"Yanyu Pavilion?!" Ji Ruxue's eyes were filled with anger; she hadn't expected Yanyu Pavilion to be involved. She looked at Chu Feng, her eyes flashing, and fell into deep thought.

Chu Feng looked at her and asked calmly, "What do you plan to do now?"

Ji Ruxue took a deep breath, suddenly knelt down, and faced Chu Feng, her voice pleading, "Chu Feng, I beg you to help me rescue my father!"

Chu Feng smiled, a smile that held a hint of amusement and control: "I can help you rescue your father, but I want... the entire Ji Dynasty."

Ji Ruxue's expression changed, and a struggle flashed in her eyes.

"With your... " The commander couldn't help but mock, but before he could finish speaking, a glass-like flame instantly engulfed him and turned him to ashes.

"Noisy," Chu Feng said coldly.

Ji Ruxue gazed at the commander's ashes on the ground, finally closing her eyes. When she opened them again, only unwavering resolve remained: "Fine! I agree!"

"Tomorrow is the start of the Nine Provinces Hidden Dragon Ranking. After I finish the competition, I will go to the Ji Dynasty to rescue your father," Chu Feng said calmly.

However, at that moment, a cold, sharp voice echoed from the distant sky: "A dead man dares to participate in the Nine Provinces Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

call out!call out!call out!

Several streaks of light pierced the sky, and Jin Wuque, his father Golden Serpent Protector, along with the other two protectors of the Misty Rain Pavilion (excluding White Eagle Protector), and two top elders of the Misty Rain Pavilion, appeared before everyone.

As soon as Jin Wuque appeared, he stared intently at Chu Feng, his face contorted with rage. He then looked at Ji Ruxue and sneered, "Ji Ruxue, you cut off my arm in Cangxuan Prefecture that day; it's time to settle that score today!"

He then turned to Chu Feng, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "And you, today is your death day!"

Chu Feng sneered, "Do you want to die?"

At this moment, Jin Wuque's father, the Golden Serpent Protector, stepped forward, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "Boy, you're quite capable, daring to be an enemy of my Misty Rain Pavilion and even turning my Misty Rain Pavilion branch into your Chu Clan Chamber of Commerce!"

Another protector sneered, "Even White Eagle almost died at your hands."

The third guardian said impatiently, "Why waste words with him! Just take him down first!"
