Headed by this patriarch of the aristocratic family.
Behind the Ninth Princess, the leaders of each aristocratic family and sect, with their elites, drove the spirit boat and sailed behind the third prince.
to the end.
Even the Ninth Princess's side, the Yuntian Sect, which can be called the pillar of heaven, jumped directly. Under the leadership of Patriarch Yuntian, they almost couldn't wait to join the camp of the third prince.
For a while.
Behind the Ninth Princess, the spirit boat that was still holding on had lost nearly 70% of its value!
"This... Taoist brothers? Ancestors, why are you like this! The Ninth Princess has always treated you well!"
The leaders of the forces under the Nine Princesses could not help but speak.
Although the Ninth Princess did not speak, there was a lot of confusion and unconcealable sadness and indignation in her eyes!
"Your Highness, don't blame us. We are just following orders. If the situation is like this, who can do anything?"
The last spirit boat to leave was Ye Yan of the Yuntian Sect.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at the Ninth Princess, so he could only hand it over in guilt as an apology, then honestly commanded his men, followed the ancestor, and drove into the camp of the third prince.
It only takes a stick of incense.
The balance of power between the two sides, who were originally evenly matched, has undergone earth-shaking changes!
The Ninth Princess, including the Gu family who came in temporarily, only had a few hundred people.
And the monks behind the third prince, the powerful and powerful men in the king realm and the emperor realm were added together.
It already has the majestic spirit of overwhelming power!
"Jiu Mei, do you still think you can compete with me now?"
The third prince's eyes were playful and his tone was sarcastic. He looked down at the ninth princess and sneered. There was unconcealable joy in his eyes, as if he was sure of victory!
However, he does have the confidence——
After the death of the Ninth Princess, except for a few aristocratic families such as the Lin family and the Gu family, they are considered die-hard loyalists.
The reason why the remaining sect families did not betray was not because they were loyal, but because the third prince did not like them at all and did not even bother to win over them!
If he uses some means.
At this moment, there is a question mark as to whether the monks still standing behind the Ninth Princess can gather a hundred people.
"Third brother... Ninth sister has seen your methods today! That's it for now... let's have a battle."
Princess Ninth took a deep breath.
The sadness and anger in his eyes disappeared, replaced by determination!
Determination to fight to the end!
The same goes for the monks behind her.
At this point, the other party would probably not accept even begging for mercy. It would be better to fight to the death and lose all his reputation.
But looking at their determination, the third prince smiled.
What he wanted to see was the complete collapse of the Ninth Princess and others, not this determination to fight to the death!
Immediately, the third prince smiled with a playful look in his eyes and raised his hand slightly: "Why should Ninth Sister be in such a hurry to fight? Aren't you curious as to why Yuntian Sect and others would betray you?"
"Um?"
The Ninth Princess, and even the last loyalists under her command, were all startled and all raised their heads.
The third prince smiled slightly, raised his hand, and let go of Jianjiu behind him!
"Do you know what the real name of this little friend Jianjiu is?"
"real name?"
Saw Jian Jiu appear.
The Ninth Princess and others were all startled.
Jian Jiu's identity was not unfamiliar to them, especially the Lin family's diehard loyalists to the princess, who were deeply impressed by Jian Jiu.
Their direct daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yueyue, the first genius of the dynasty, was defeated miserably at the hands of this man.
However, he was later defeated by a genius from the Gu family. With the cold temperament of the third prince, how could he tolerate him and his brothers staying in the camp and treat them so affectionately?
"Confused? Confused?"
"I will tell you this with great mercy!"
The third prince looked at everyone's confused looks and sneered: "This little friend Jianjiu, his real name...is called [Tantaijiu]!"
"Tantaijiu...Tantai family!?"
Listen to the name.
Not to mention the monks on the Ninth Princess's side, even the Thunder God Emperor couldn't help but change his color suddenly and exclaimed!
"The Tantai family? Are they on your side!? How is that possible!?"
Tantai family.
This name is no stranger to everyone present!
Even the Shenmeng royal family is faintly invincible in front of this family.
After all, the Divine Dream Royal Family includes the deceased Dream Divine Emperor.
There are only three giants of the God Emperor!
As for the Tantai family, there are seven divine emperors alone!
And the ancestor of the Tantai family, according to legend, has reached the limit of the Divine Emperor Realm, and may enter the Holy Emperor Heavenly Pass at any time!
Such a family, to all the families and sects in the Shenmeng Dynasty, is like an uncrowned king.
The reason why people have never thought of them is because the Tantai family has been hiding from the world for many years and has never paid attention to the disputes in this territory.
Even when the Shenmeng Dynasty was established in the past, the Tantai family only sent a few people to meet with the Meng Shenhuang in a symbolic way, and they were never born again.
But now.
They actually jumped out again and supported...the third prince?
The Ninth Princess and even the imperial monks in the imperial city were dumbfounded.
But after coming back to his senses.
When these imperial monks looked at the Ninth Princess, their eyes were filled with pity.
"The outcome of this battle has already been determined!"
"Yes! With the Tantai family supporting the third prince, it is reasonable for the Yuntian Sect to betray them."
"Who says it's not the case? The Tantai family supports the third prince. Even if the Yuntian Sect doesn't betray them, so what? It's still a death! It's just that more people die!"
All the monks in the imperial city shook their heads, already ready to welcome the third prince to the throne.
The morale of the Ninth Princess's side has also completely hit rock bottom.
Listening to the discussions of the monks in the imperial city below, the Ninth Princess couldn't help but smile miserably. She looked back apologetically at the loyal monks under her command, and then slightly held her hands with the calmness of despair.
"Third brother is really extraordinary. It's me who lost."
"I just ask Third Brother, please don't involve these subordinates of mine."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Looking at the expression of the Ninth Princess giving in despair.
Looking behind her, the Lin family and other monks looked frightened.
The joy in the heart of the third prince expanded infinitely. When he heard the ninth princess surrendering, his eyes were filled with joy, and he waved his hands and smiled, looking as cool as a winner!
"Don't worry, Ninth Sister! Since you admit defeat, how can this prince, no, I really kill them all?"
"But..."
The third prince said.
However, his eyes went directly past the Ninth Princesses and landed on the spirit boat led by Gu Changqing next to the Ninth Princesses and others. They looked at the Gu family with ferocious murderous intent in their eyes!
"Cangming Gu family... Haha! Some time ago, you Cangming Gu family were quite outstanding!"
"Hit me in the face more than once. Is it fun?"
"Gu Changqing, is that the name?"
The third prince stared at Gu Changqing, who stood tall and tall on the spirit boat, with his white shirt flying, looking as heroic as a banished immortal. A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but it turned into a joke in an instant, like a cat playing with a mouse, and he spoke proudly .
"Your Highness Changqing, do you ever regret it now?"
"but."
He changed the subject.
Without giving Gu Changqing a chance to speak, he continued: "It won't help if you regret it now."
As he spoke, his expression became more ferocious and cruel: "Jiu Mei can be pardoned, and so can the idiots who followed her, but your Gu family has been doomed since the moment you killed the envoy I sent. The ending!"
"I will kill your Gu family and clan!"
"Clan execution?"
Listening to the third prince's words full of murderous intent.
The Ninth Princess, who originally heard that the third prince could pardon her subordinates, was relieved, but her expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously got up to stop the third prince.
But before she could make any move.
"boom!"
Behind the third prince, the royal emperor snorted coldly.
Suddenly, the pressure like a mountain was pressing down on the heads of the Ninth Princess and his party. It was just a dream for them to move a finger!
"It was me who... harmed your Gu family!"
The Ninth Princess smiled miserably.
If she had known this, she probably shouldn't have won over the Gu family in the first place, otherwise she wouldn't have harmed them!
As an incompetent master, the only thing he can do is to apologize with death after the Gu family is destroyed...
Just when the Ninth Princess was in despair.
Gu Changqing smiled.
"Clan execution? Regret?"
He ignored the third prince, just looked at the desperate Ninth Princess, and smiled faintly: "Your Highness, Ninth Princess, it is too early to admit defeat now."
"With me here, you can't lose."
Finished.
Gu Changqing's eyes turned to the third prince, he raised his hand slightly and stretched out a finger.
"Third prince, right? Your chess skills are indeed commendable. You have won over the Tantai family, secretly linked up the betrayal of all the orthodox factions under the princess, and now you have revealed your trump card and broken through the psychological defenses of the remaining people under the princess."
"Every step is considered outstanding."
"But unfortunately, you made a wrong move a long time ago."
The third prince looked at Gu Changqing, but he was not angry. He felt that the man in front of him was like a clown, and his smile was extremely playful: "You don't want to say that if I make a wrong move, I will force your Gu family to leave, right?"
"yes--"
Gu Changqing nodded slightly.
"Ha! Could this Gu family have lost their minds and gone crazy?"
"Just a clown."
Behind the third prince, the monks, especially traitors like Patriarch Yuntian, couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard Gu Changqing's words, and their tone was extremely mocking.
But in the midst of the ridicule, Gu Changqing just calmly raised his hand and looked behind the third prince. Patriarch Yuntian and others who were smiling the most happily also showed a smile.
Immediately.
"boom!"
Under the sea of clouds, under the horrifying gazes of the Imperial City monks, and under the astonished gazes of the Ninth Princess.
In the palm of Gu Changqing's hand, spiritual power bloomed, and a spiritual light handprint that was a thousand feet long fell suddenly with an overwhelming momentum.
In just an instant, it penetrated the formation of thousands of people behind the third prince.
When that spiritual palm print dissipated.
Everyone saw that behind the third prince, the previously magnificent military formation was reduced by a full third immediately after Gu Changqing's palm fell.
"Kill with one palm..."
"Three thousand powerful!?"
