Hearing the soldiers continuously deliver grievous reports, Albert’s heart grew heavier and heavier.

He looked at his mother beside him, saying in panic, "Mother Empress, the three Saint families of Hale, Sol, and Blackwood have all led their entire clans’ elite disciples. They definitely plotted this long ago."

"Right now, what should we do?"

"Do not panic." Nova narrowed her eyes, saying deeply.

"With the situation reaching such a point, it is already beyond salvaging. Right now, we must execute Aurelia first to prevent more complications from arising!"

"Good!" Albert gritted his teeth, waved his hand to conjure a long saber, and teleported directly in front of Aurelia.

Seeing his hand rise and the saber fall, just as he was preparing to execute the severely ill Aurelia, Alex teleported over expressionlessly, grabbing his neck and lifting him up like a little chick.

A chilling, savage sneer curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Wanting to kill to silence witnesses right in front of my face. Aren’t you being a bit too naive?"

With that said, Alex casually waved his hand, throwing Albert flying away. Albert’s body smashed through the stone stele standing tall in the Profound Phoenix Square.

The stele exploded with a massive bang, kicking up thick smoke and dust.

However, the next second, a sharp thunderous shout rang out from mid-air.

"You insolent brats, stay your hands at once!"

This thunderous shout shook the heavens and moved the earth, causing heaven and earth to tremble before it. The disciples from the Hale, Blackwood, and Sol families were instantly shocked into absolute silence, a cold shiver running down their entire bodies.

Three indistinct phantoms of light floated up from within the smoke and dust of the shattered stone stele.

They transformed into three figures bathed in golden light, radiating a fierce and overwhelming might that made heaven and earth tremble.

Looking at these three golden-light powerhouses, Alistair and Malakai both suffered sudden changes in expression. Selene and Lily off to the side also went pale, feeling an intensely thick sensation of suffocation.

The surrounding spectating commoners all felt a terrifying coercive pressure, finding it incomparably difficult to even breathe.

Only Alex remained expressionless. His eyes stared fixedly at the three high-and-mighty old men in mid-air, a smile of deep interest curling at the corners of his mouth.

"The three great ancestors of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty: Crane, Tiger, and Wolf."

"Not only are they the supreme martial force protecting the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, but they are also responsible for controlling the Heavenly Flame Heavenly Origin passed down through generations."

"Before finishing them off, I must make full use of them."

The elder in the center had completely white hair and a beard, possessing the transcendent demeanor of an immortal.

The elder on the left had a swallow’s chin and a tiger’s beard, with a rugged, burly physique.

The elder on the right had a sinister and venomous expression, resembling a wolf.

Three peak Supreme Realm top-tier powerhouses stood shoulder to shoulder, intimidating the entire venue into absolute, pin-drop silence.

After a long while, the Crane Ancestor spoke indifferently. "Rebel Alex, do you know your crimes?"

Despite being separated by hundreds of meters, his voice still transmitted clearly into everyone’s ears, vigorous and powerful as a large golden bell, carrying a chillingly strict aura.

Facing the questioning of such peak powerhouses, Alex still wore a smile, calm and effortlessly graceful. "What crime do I have have?"

"As a subject, defying the Emperor’s sacred will and gathering three great worldly clans to rebel is disloyalty! As a nephew, disregarding the affection between uncle and nephew, and being disrespectful to your own uncle is unfilial! As an elder, ignoring human relations and ethical principles to murder the younger generation of the imperial family is unrighteousness!"

"Such a disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous scoundrel, will you still not confess your crimes and submit to execution?!"

The Crane Ancestor’s resonant shouts were like divine law, shaking everything with his might.

Alistair and the others all turned pale, revealing looks of panic and despair.

The appearance of the Three Heavenly Flame Ancestors not only relied on martial force to suppress the entire venue, but directly pushed them into the teeth of the storm.

The only hope right now rested on Alex’s shoulders. If Alex could not parry this and yielded to the Three Ancestors’ might, then this vigorous, massive royal rescue of theirs would turn into the biggest joke of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty.

The three great Saint Lineage families participating in this matter would also have their entire households executed and their three generations exterminated.

Under the smug, triumphant gazes of Albert, Nova, and the crowd of powerhouses under them, Alex acted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, throwing his head back and laughing loudly.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Insolent brat, what are you laughing at?!" the Tiger Ancestor questioned coldly.

"I was laughing at how you three old geezers receive the respect of the entire Heavenly Flame Dynasty in vain, yet cannot distinguish between clear and muddy, right and wrong!"

"For his own selfish desires, Albert took advantage of his own imperial sister’s severe illness to scheme and forcefully snatch the Heavenly Flame throne. How is this the act of a human?"

"And that Nova, in order to support her own child’s ascension to the throne, did not hesitate to go against human relations and ethical principles, imprisoning Aurelia in the prison, not sending a single meal in ten days. How is this the act of a parent?"

"Merely plotting to rule from behind the curtain, she forged the late Emperor’s sacred decree, committing such disloyal and unfilial acts."

"How can such rebellious, unorthodox, and limitlessly cruel people be worthy of sitting upon the ten thousand miles of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty’s territory?!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue once again fell into a deathly silence. Lily and Selene both revealed expressions of grief and indignation, their entire bodies radiating a chilling murderous intent.

Regarding Albert and Nova’s unscrupulous, wolfish ambitions, they were the most direct victims.

At this very moment, fundamentally nothing needed to be said. Just standing behind Alex was enough to prove everything.

"As for your claims that I am committing treason and rebellion, and your words of disloyalty, unfilial piety, and unrighteousness..." Alex looked at Albert and Nova to the side, a terrifyingly cold sneer curling at the corners of his mouth.
