"You two trashes can't even take of a no name. You are just ruining the glorious name of our Xia Empire!"
He released his tyrannical energy which blasted Xia Chen backwards. Blood started trickling from his lips but he dared not voice any complaint.
Xia Zun was also affected a little but not to the point he would be injured. He looked worried about his liege, Xia Chen.
"Hmph! I heard he pathetically killed your stupid father and another cultivator.
And even though it has been over a week, you two idiots still did not take care of it!!
And yet you dare kneel in front of me?!?!
Why is everyone is silent not even doing anything to do? What is everyone so afraid of??
Is it because he is strong? So what if he is little stronger? Dared to kill our Xia lineage?!
No matter who he is, no matter what background he has, the only result that awaits that fool is
DEATH!!"
His outrage left Xia Zun dumbfounded. After all if someone could kill two strong cultivators of the province that meant he is pretty strong himself.
Atleast he is strong for the province.
And the reason the backers are sent in this province in the first place is to provide support to these 'small time' cultivators.
Yes there was another reason why many strong cultivators with deep backgrounds are arriving in this province, but still...
[Is this really a prince? Instead of taking responsibility and leadership he just arrogantly uses his strength to bully the subordinates.
It is laughable how he is trying to compete for the Crowned Prince status.
The rumours were indeed true. A born trash can never be a leader.]
Xia Zun was flabbergasted inwardly but he was calm and obedient outside. As expected of a veteran!
"Apo- apologies for our inability, Your Royal Highness!" Xia Chen stuttered a 'sincere' apology.
He was angry with this prince now more than he is with Kylo. Do not be mistaken, he hates Kylo but he is angry with the Prince
After all he insulted his father! But he can notnso anything about it.
First of all if he offends the prince then everyone related to him will suffer. And no one will care about it.
And secondly, he still needs to use this prince to kill his father's killer.
"Hmph... Sent all our forces to where he is staying right now and take care of it."
The brown haired youth sitting on the throne waved his hand and ordered arrogantly.
"Huh?" This time even, Xia Zun, who is normally calm could not help but show a confused expression on his face.
Meanwhile Xia Chen just had disbelief written on his face.
"What??... Did you expect me to take care of it for you?" Xia Feng showed just a surprised expression which bewildered both even more.
"Trash, what is our husband's status? How could you even think, our husband will personally stoop so low to even help you trashes??"
An arrogant waist length blonde haired lady by Xia Feng's side expressed her disdain.
This time Xia Chen could not control his temper and his eyes showed anger towards them. Though he did not say anything his eyes were enough to convey what he wanted to.
And as expected Xia Feng got to know what Xia Chen wanted to say.
"Did you... express your anger towards me?" Xia Feng slowly got up from his seat and started walking towards him.
Xia Zun could see the situation was turning for worse. Without wasting time he directly kowtowed and shouted
"Mercy, Your Royal Highness! Please forgive this lad for his ignorance!!" He uttered a sincere apology...
"Scram!" ....but to no avail. Xia Feng waved his hand and the old man got slammed on one of the pillars.
Cracks of bones could be heard from the guardian of the state. Blood was flowing from different parts of his body.
"Grandpa Zun!!!" Xia Chen shouted.
Xia Zun was someone he was very close with. Closer than anyone else in this life!
After all he was the one who raised him since he was young.
Even though the old man was the guardian he was the one who taught him how to read and write. He was the one who taught him politics. He was the one who taught him to fight.
And now he was injured because of an unreasonable outrage!
Actually if Xia Zun wanted, he could have prevented himself from getting injured.
After all, he was strong enough to be a guardian. And even if he was defeated he would not be injured to this point!
But he did not do it.
Why? Simple that would just aggravate Xia Feng's behaviour.
And that would be detrimental for both Xia Chen and the state. That was why he took the brunt of the attack.
He could just consume a pill later and heal himself.... provided he survives today.
