Chapter 3444: 4.1044 The Crown Prince Arrives
Mo Li virtually ignored Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi looked at her cold daughter, whimpering and sobbing twice before being helped aside by Ninth Princess Mo Xue.
In just a short moment, everyone had been forced back into a corner of the inner hall. The concubines' muffled sobs were continuous, yet they dared not cry out loud.
Mo Lei, Empress Dowager Meng, and Empress Zhao stood shoulder to shoulder, in front of a group of guards who were being forced back step by step.
"Bang!" The gloomy middle-aged man wiped out a young guard with a blow, throwing his body before the screaming concubines.
Achieving his desired effect, the gloomy middle-aged man smiled, his cold eyes fixed on Mo Lei and the others. He said in a sinister, chilling voice, "You refuse a toast, so you'll drink a forfeit! Since you are so stubborn, then..."
He reached out, his five fingers spread, and forcefully gripped Empress Zhao's neck.
Mo Lei's face drastically changed, and he cried out, "Empress!"
As soon as he reached out to resist, he was struck away by a palm, his body swaying as he stumbled backward.
Empress Dowager Meng reached out to support him, took a breath, and unleashed a burst of mystic energy, striking violently at the man's hands.
She tried to rescue Empress Zhao.
However, at this moment, Old Wu suddenly made his move, striking a heavy punch directly at Empress Dowager Meng's right hand.
Everyone clearly heard the sound of the Empress Dowager's arm bone breaking.
In an instant, Empress Dowager Meng's right arm fell limp.
"Empress Dowager!!"
"Empress Dowager!"
"Mother!"
Everyone cried out in alarm and panic. The young guards rushed forward fearlessly, wanting to stop the abusive Old Wu.
However, to Old Wu, these people were nothing more than tiny, insignificant specks of dust.
Old Wu roared, "A mantis trying to stop a chariot!" and kicked away a young guard who was clinging to his leg.
The child was sent flying, crashing heavily against a wall pillar, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood with a 噗 sound.
Old Wu gripped Empress Dowager Meng's injured, fractured hand and squeezed it hard.
The Empress Dowager's face turned pale, cold sweat pouring down, yet she didn't even let out a whimper. She merely stared at him with cold eyes.
"If I die today, and all of us in Mo Kingdom perish, it doesn't matter. In the future, our fate will be the fate of your entire family, old and young!" Empress Dowager Meng's eyes were like a pair of cold souls beneath ice and snow, making Old Wu involuntarily shiver.
Old Wu sneered, then pinched Empress Dowager Meng's neck. "Is that so?"
"I'll kill all of you, leaving no one. Who will know in the future that it was us who did it?"
"Do you think the Crown Prince of Divine Province will know what happened today? Ha, haha!" He laughed triumphantly, his voice tinged with strong murderous intent.
"I didn't realize that you small fry would dare to strut your stuff in the Lower Star Domain."
"On the land of Divine Province, what would your cultivation realm be called??"
"Coming to the Lower Star Domain of Sky Void, you've certainly put on quite a show, truly an eye-opener for me."
A cold voice drifted in from outside the dilapidated palace, even the voice itself seemed to be shrouded in a chilling killing aura, like a frost descending. In an instant, the temperature of the entire area seemed to drop significantly.
Old Wu's fingers, holding Empress Dowager Meng, twitched slightly. He abruptly turned around and saw a tall figure, backlit, stepping into the ruins.
"A mere four Level 10 Spirit Masters, coming to the Lower Star Domain to act tough and impose your will!"
