For a moment, the entire scene fell into dead silence.
Prince Yong'an said to execute Wang Junze, but can he really be killed?
"I am the Emperor, does Uncle want to burden me with the name of wantonly killing the innocent?"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly.
Killing the innocent is, of course, just an excuse. If Wang Junze were an ordinary cultivator, killing him wouldn't require any reason.
But behind Wang Junze stands the Profound Moon Sword Sect, along with Qu Lishang, and the powers of the Nether Sea.
If they killed Wang Junze directly without any reason, how could they account for it?
If he truly must be killed, it could only be done secretly, not by direct order of execution.
This reasoning is something Prince Yong'an surely comprehends, yet he still lays bare the truth; his intentions are hard not to question.
"I dare not!"
