"Dragon! Dragon! I...I just saw that woman turn into a dragon!"

As Princess Xianglan turned into a dragon beast, people in the square immediately started shouting. Although the dragon beast that Princess Xianglan turned into did not attack them, their natural fear of dragon beasts still made them panic.

Princess Xianglan, who had transformed into a dragon beast, rolled her eyes at the people. She flapped her wings and slowly rose into the air. The wind created by her wings blew the snowflakes in the sky into chaos and also knocked the ordinary people on the ground to the ground.

The dragon beast flying into the sky caused panic among the soldiers brought by the four princes outside. Their cultivation was not very high, nor had they taken secret medicines like the first generation of soldiers who followed the new emperor to fight. Their physical strength was only slightly higher than that of ordinary cultivators, and at most they had reached the bone refining realm. It was nothing but a pipe dream to want to confront a dragon beast head-on.

Also looking bad was the Third Prince who was standing behind the soldiers. From the moment Princess Xianglan appeared, he recognized her as his younger sister who had been cursed by him. He had never expected that his younger sister would be able to recover without his active effort to lift the curse. He also had not expected that Princess Xianglan had turned the power of the curse into her own power and could turn into a black dragon to help her elder brother.

Hearing the dragon's roar, Xin Wenyuan looked behind him in surprise. He didn't know where this black dragon came from, but as long as the black dragon did not attack them and as long as the black dragon came to help him, he would regard the black dragon as his ally.

"Everyone, pay attention! This is the ally I invited! Follow the Black Dragon and charge out! Capture the third, fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers!" Without wasting the other party's opportunity to panic, Xin Wenyuan immediately appeased the people from the East Palace and ordered them to attack.

Hearing Xin Wenyuan say that Black Dragon was their ally, the spirits of the people of the East Palace were high and their spirits were lifted. At the same time, their morale reached its peak. They rushed out of the barrier one after another and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the other side's still terrified soldiers.

Out of fear, the people brought by the four princes collapsed almost the moment they came into contact. If it weren't for the efforts of the third prince and the officers to maintain order, they would have probably fled in all directions in such a short time and would not have been able to form any combat effectiveness.

Among the people brought by the four princes, only the Imperial Guards still maintained strict military discipline. The soldiers of the Imperial Guards looked at the Prince's Guards rushing towards them, and slowly retreated under the order of the commander, leaving themselves some buffer space.

"Fifth Prince! What's going on with the Imperial Guards?" The Third Prince saw the Imperial Guards retreating and shouted to the Fifth Prince, "Why haven't the Imperial Guards taken action yet? Didn't you say you already have the support of the Imperial Guards?!"

"Third brother, I did get the support of the Imperial Guards, but they don't listen to our orders! We can't command Commander Guan. He is a close minister to our father. We are thankful that he can be won over. As for when he will choose to take action, I can't say..."

"How dare you! The whole world belongs to the king. How can he, the commander of the imperial guards, disobey the orders of the future new emperor?"

"Third brother... right now, big brother hasn't lost yet, or it should be said that big brother hasn't shown any signs of weakness. Commander Guan might be waiting for one of us and big brother to really suppress the other. Only then will Commander Guan make a move."

"So he's still waiting for a good price? Whoever wins will get his support? But what about the black dragon in the sky? They don't take action? Don't they see the black dragon in the sky? Do they really think that ordinary soldiers can fight against the black dragon in the sky?"

The fifth prince looked at the third prince in front of him. He also found it incredible when he saw the black dragon. He had firmly supported his third brother because he heard that he had a deal with the dragon clan. But now there was no dragon clan on his side, but his eldest brother, the prince, had the help of the dragon clan. This made him a little confused about opposing his eldest brother.

But the fifth prince dispelled the confusion as soon as it appeared in his heart. He had followed the third prince to this extent. Did he still want to turn around and turn to his eldest brother? Although he believed that his eldest brother would definitely accept him at this time, what about afterwards? Would he be liquidated because of this incident? By then, he might not even be able to become a powerful prince. He could only be confined to the prince's mansion in the imperial city for life, and even going out might be monitored by a bunch of people.

The same idea also occurred to the Sixth and Seventh Princes. The Sixth Prince was now in charge of the finances of the new country. Over the years, he had used his power to make money and even sent a large number of officials to suppress the grazing tribes and take control of their livestock. If the Crown Prince was in power, would the things he did really not be exposed? He didn't dare to bet.

Among them, the Seventh Prince was the most confused. He had joined this camp for a short time and had done very little. He only helped the Third Prince to control some of the city defenses and ordinary soldiers around the imperial city. For example, the soldiers who were fighting in panic were the ones he helped the Third Prince to get. If he switched sides, he believed that his eldest brother, the Crown Prince, would at most deprive him of his insignificant military power after he came to power. Without that little bit of power, he would at most be an idle prince, and would live a comfortable life, at least not like the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince who were deeply involved...

"Seventh Prince! Seventh Prince!" The Third Prince interrupted the struggle in the Seventh Prince's mind, "Seventh Prince! What are you thinking about?! Third Brother will give you a task. Let your soldiers take charge! Tell them that as long as they win this battle and successfully capture the prince, each of them will be rewarded with 100 top-grade spirit stones. At the same time, for the one who has the greatest merit and captures the prince, I will also provide additional top-level cultivation techniques and resources. I will stack them up to the calamity realm!"

The Seventh Prince reacted and looked at the Third Prince. He nodded, turned and walked towards the people he brought with him.

Looking at the Seventh Prince who did not reply to him and just left silently, a gloom appeared in the eyes of the Third Prince, but he quickly concealed it.

The battle on the battlefield was still going on. The black dragon transformed by Princess Xianglan seldom took action. She just kept circling in the sky. When the Prince's guards were in danger, she would drop down to help them. Zeng Wenyu didn't need the help of the Prince's guards at all in the battle. Every time he took action, a bunch of soldiers would fly out screaming. As a result, the soldiers on Zeng Wenyu's side just surrounded him from a distance. Every time a soldier wanted to leave, Zeng Wenyu would pretend to take action and hold the soldier who wanted to leave back where he was.

The one who looked the most relaxed among them was Mu Zhi. At the beginning, she only released a very faint pink aura outside the barrier. That aura has now completely disappeared. However, it was this seemingly inconspicuous aura that became the factor that most affected the battle.

Even though the little bit of spiritual energy released by Mu Zhi seems insignificant, don't forget who Mu Zhi is. She is a descendant of the Sky Fox clan and the daughter of the previous clan leader of the Sky Fox clan. That little bit of spiritual energy dissipated in the air outside the barrier and continued to spread. It can continuously amplify the emotions in people's hearts in the most covert way, making those who are afraid even more afraid, and at the same time making the emotions of the Prince's Guard even more excited.

Of course, it would be fine if it only affected the soldiers and the prince's guards. The most crucial thing is that the disappeared spiritual energy had already drifted to the princes, and their emotions and thoughts were also slowly being affected, including the confusion in the hearts of the fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince, and the unstable emotions of the third prince. They were all affected unknowingly.

Perhaps the only two people who were not affected on the entire battlefield were Zeng Wenyu and Princess Xianglan. Even Xin Wenyuan had been affected, but the impact was very weak, and it just reminded him of the feeling of following the new emperor to kill enemies on the battlefield.

After piercing the heart of a soldier in front of him with the sword in his hand, Xin Wenyuan raised his head and looked at the prince's guards who were still fighting around him. He raised the sword in his hand high and said, "Kill! Prince's guards, East Palace people! Follow me and kill them! Kill them in fear!"

The Prince's Guards quickly gathered around Xin Wenyuan, with Xin Wenyuan as the leader and guarding on both sides of him. They marched with firm steps, waving their weapons continuously, continuously killing the enemies in front of them, and charging towards the Third Prince. For a moment, no one could stop them!
