The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

Chapter 409 A Quick and Delicious Kill

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's chilling words, the two palace maids instantly turned deathly pale and their legs went weak.

One of the palace maids opened her mouth as if to shout to warn the Crown Princess inside that danger was imminent, while the other palace maid trembled violently, her eyes filled with terror.

At this moment, the Crown Prince gave them no time to react and strode into the inner room.

Inside the room, the light was dim, and the sheer curtains swayed gently in the faint airflow.

The Crown Princess had just woken up from her sleep, her head still groggy, when she vaguely heard a commotion outside.

She frowned subconsciously, her voice tinged with the languor and displeasure of someone just waking up, and she snapped at him loudly.

"How dare you! Who gave you permission to barge in?"

At this moment, the person lying next to her was also awakened by the sudden noise and moved his body groggily.

The prince kicked open the door to the inner room, his gaze shooting towards the bed like lightning.

Instantly, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and the rage in them burned fiercely, as if it could burn the entire tent to ashes.

"You bitch! Look what you've done!"

His voice boomed like thunder, his chest heaved violently, and the spirit knife he gripped tightly in his hand gleamed with a chilling light.

Almost as soon as he roared, the Crown Prince slashed at the Crown Princess without hesitation.

The Crown Princess finally came to her senses and realized that the person who had come was the Crown Prince. Her face paled instantly, her eyes widened, and her expression was filled with terror.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her throat felt blocked.

Her mind was in a mess.

"Why is the Crown Prince here? And who was the man I made love with last night?"

Unfortunately, she simply didn't have time to think about these issues.

The prince was blinded by rage, and his slash, imbued with surging true energy, was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

The Crown Princess's cultivation level was already one Dao Realm lower than the Crown Prince's. Faced with such a powerful attack, she had no power to fight back and could only watch helplessly as the sharp blade slashed down towards her neck.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the Crown Princess's head was separated from her body, falling like a ripe persimmon from a branch and rolling onto the cold ground.

The warm, viscous blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the face of the Third Prince, who had just woken up and was still in a daze.

The Third Prince was completely awakened by the sudden bloody scene. He subconsciously tried to raise his hand to wipe the blood off his face, only to find that he was still naked.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince wielding a long sword and displaying an angry expression, the Third Prince was both shocked and anxious, his heart filled with fear and confusion.

He never imagined that the usually gentle Crown Prince would storm in so furiously to catch them in adultery, and that he himself would be caught red-handed in such a disheveled state.

The Third Prince vaguely sensed something strange about the matter, but in this life-or-death situation, he had no mind to think about the reasons.

After the Crown Prince killed the Crown Princess, his murderous gaze instantly turned to him, and the long sword in his hand, accompanied by a chilling wind, slashed down at his head once more.

The Third Prince was not an ordinary Crown Princess; his cultivation was comparable to that of the Crown Prince.

Sensing the deadly danger, he instantly channeled his inner energy and raised his hand to try and block the fatal blow.

But the moment he tried to circulate his qi, his expression changed drastically. He was horrified to discover that the true qi in his dantian was somewhat disordered, and its circulation was slow and sluggish.

"The word 'lust' is like a sword hanging over your head!"

The third prince was filled with remorse. Only then did he realize that he had probably been poisoned.

Looking back on last night, there was nothing unusual about the soup that was delivered. He only gradually felt something was wrong after entering the Crown Princess's tent.

The Third Prince suddenly remembered that when he stepped into the camp last night, he seemed to have faintly smelled a strange fragrance.

He had just drunk the soup and was so overcome by desire that he didn't think much of it.

Looking back now, it must be clear that someone tampered with the incense in the Crown Princess's tent.

The third prince inwardly cried out, "This is bad!" But at that moment, the enraged crown prince's sword had already come crashing down.

He couldn't dodge in time and had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back.

"what!"

The third prince cried out in pain as his arm was instantly torn open, bleeding profusely, and his wrist was severed in half, exposing the bone.

He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and scrambled out of the tent, desperately calling for help.

Outside the tent, a crowd had gathered.

Suddenly, a sharp voice shouted.

"Something terrible has happened! The Third Prince and the Crown Princess have been caught in bed together!"

The sound seemed to have wings, spreading rapidly from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

In an instant, the entire camp area erupted in excitement, with soldiers, servants, and palace maids rushing towards the area.

When the Third Prince crawled out of his tent like a drowned rat, covered in blood and naked, trying to find his guards to call for help, he found that the area outside the tent was already crowded with people, three layers deep.

The third prince was both ashamed and furious. His face was covered in a mixture of sweat and blood, making it impossible to tell the difference.

Looking at the dense crowd outside, he felt utterly ashamed and wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Your Highness, spare his life!"

Just as the Crown Prince, carrying a blood-dripping spirit knife, chased after the adulterer with murderous intent, preparing to continue killing him, an old man in gray robes appeared like a ghost and instantly blocked the Third Prince's path.

The old man's body surged with qi, forming an unbreakable shield that steadily blocked the prince's raging attack.

"General Liang, step aside! I will kill him today!"

The crown prince's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He exuded a strong killing intent, and his hand gripping the long sword trembled slightly with rage. Drops of blood continued to fall from the blade, pooling on the ground.

He glared at General Liang without flinching, as if he would kill him along with him if General Liang did not step aside.

"Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding."

General Liang spoke solemnly yet respectfully. As one of the Third Prince's teachers, General Liang was a powerful expert at the Great Ascension Realm, with unfathomable strength.

His gray robe fluttered in the wind, his white hair was thick but his spirit was vigorous, and his body was surrounded by a faint flow of qi, forming an invisible aura that resisted the prince's surging killing intent.

"Misunderstand?"

The crown prince seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, letting out a cold laugh filled with anger and mockery.

"I witnessed it with my own eyes, what else is there to misunderstand? And those palace maids are all evidence!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two guards behind him immediately understood and dragged the palace maids over like chickens.
