The voice of the Demon Sect Leader was dark and terrifying, like the whisper of an evil ghost.

Chu Ze was sweating profusely, he knew that he couldn't get rid of these people at all.

What should we do? We can't just fight to the death, right?

As I was hesitating, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

He looked up suddenly and saw a team of Jinyiwei rushing towards him from a distance.

The person leading the charge is none other than the Crown Prince!

The prince was dressed in military uniform, looking very heroic.

He saw Chu Ze from afar and was stunned.

Then, his gaze fell on Shen Qingwu in Chu Ze's arms, and his eyes instantly became sinister.

"Someone! Take Chu Ze down!"

At the prince's command, the Jinyiwei behind him immediately rushed up and surrounded Chu Ze.

The leader stepped forward and shouted in a cold voice: "Chu Ze, the prince has ordered you to put down Miss Shen immediately and surrender!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ze's face changed drastically.

He didn't expect that the prince would appear at this time.

What she didn't expect was that he would actually take her down!
"Your Highness, what is going on?"

Chu Ze tried to remain calm and asked in a deep voice.

"You still have the nerve to ask?"

The prince sneered, his tone grim.

"I have always trusted you and regarded you as my confidant. I never thought that you would dare to covet the Shen family's property!"

"How dare you kidnap the Shen family's daughter in public with the intention of treason! You are simply guilty of a thousand deaths!"

"I" Chu Ze was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.

He never expected that the prince would frame him like this!
"Your Highness, please understand! I have absolutely no such intention!"

Chu Ze hurriedly explained, his voice trembling.

He pointed at the Demon Sect Master and others behind him and said, "The Shen family was massacred, and the murderer is someone else. I just saw injustice and came to the rescue."

But before he could finish his words, the prince interrupted coldly:

"Stop quibbling here! The evidence of your crimes is piled up like a mountain! If you don't surrender, when will you?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the Jinyiwei behind him to take action.

Those people pounced on Chu Ze like wolves and tigers.

Chu Ze was horrified and had to put Shen Qingwu behind him, ready to fight to the end.

Just then, a low voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a minute!"

When Chu Ze was dumbfounded, never expecting that the prince would frame him like this, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jinyiwei who were about to take action stopped and looked around in confusion.

The next moment, a black shadow flashed over everyone's heads like lightning and landed steadily in front of Chu Ze.

It’s the leader of the Demon Sect!

At this moment, he had put away his disguise, and his black robe fluttered in the wind.

He clasped his fists and bowed to the prince, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, I am the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, greeting you."

The prince was stunned for a moment, then reacted. His expression darkened and he asked in a cold voice, "What can I do for you, Excellency?"

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect chuckled and said leisurely, "I have no intention of offending you, but it is unfair for Your Highness the Crown Prince to criticize General Chu like this."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

The leader of the Demon Sect turned his gaze to Chu Ze standing beside him and said meaningfully:

"General Chu is a favorite of the Emperor and a new noble in the court. If the Emperor did not trust him, would he let him take over the Imperial Guards and take charge of the military affairs?
Now that he has such abnormal behavior in the Shen Mansion, there must be something else going on. Your Highness might as well let him explain a little, observe everything carefully, and then make a decision."

Chu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.

He was about to speak, but the prince sneered.

"Defense? What else can he defend?" The prince stood with his hands behind his back, his tone grim: "The entire Shen family was slaughtered, and before their bodies were cold, Chu Ze broke into the Shen residence, intending to kidnap the Shen family's daughter. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Miss Shen's chastity would have been destroyed in his hands!"

"This is clearly a false accusation, don't you think, General Chu Ze?"

As the prince spoke, his eyes were like knives, glaring fiercely at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze's blood was surging in his chest, almost bursting out. He suppressed his anger, bowed and said:
"Your Highness, please understand that I have absolutely no intention of kidnapping Miss Shen! I just saw injustice and was soft-hearted, so I came to her rescue. I hope Your Highness will think twice!"

"That's nonsense! You and I both know the truth, so stop pretending!"

The prince snorted coldly and swept his eyes over the crowd like lightning.

"Someone, get it for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jinyiwei immediately surrounded him, all with stern expressions.

In a hurry, Chu Ze suddenly drew his sword.

The long sword was unsheathed, shining coldly. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the prince, and Chu Ze asked in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, I have a clear conscience! We have no grudges against each other, why do you want to frame me like this?"

The prince, however, sneered repeatedly with a contemptuous tone.

"No grudges or hatred? You are too naive!"

He put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "You and I are sworn enemies. You are favored by the emperor and hold a high position of power. But I, the crown prince, have to kowtow to you and give in to you in every way. Tell me, what is this?"

When Chu Ze heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and his head was buzzing.

It turns out that this was the prince's idea!

He hated that he was favored, so he opposed him everywhere and wanted to put him to death!
Thinking of this, Chu Ze was shocked and angry, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

At this moment, Shen Qingwu suddenly swayed and fell softly to the ground.

She was obviously frightened by this sudden change and could no longer bear it.

Seeing this, Chu Ze quickly sheathed his sword, turned around and helped her up.

"Girl! Are you okay?"

He asked with concern, staring at the prince warily.

"Huh, Chu Ze, what do you want to do?"

The prince sneered and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Do you want to molest Miss Shen in front of me? You are simply a wolf with evil intentions, and your crime is unforgivable!"

After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he raised his hand and quickly tapped Chu Ze's chest.

Chu Ze was caught off guard, and his blood surged immediately, and his internal organs felt as if they were being cut by a knife.

His sword slipped out of his hand, and he flew several feet away and fell heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the Jinyiwei immediately rushed forward and surrounded him.

The prince sneered and strode up to Chu Ze.

He looked down at him with a contemptuous tone.

"Chu Ze, I have never liked you. You are nothing but a dog in front of the emperor, relying on the emperor's favor to show off your power everywhere!"

"Now that you are in my hands, let's see how long you can be so arrogant! Come on, capture me!"

Just as the Jinyiwei were about to take action, another loud shout was heard, causing everyone to stop involuntarily.

They looked in the direction of the voice and found it was the leader of the Demon Sect.

He was seen standing with his hands behind his back, his body as firm as a pine tree and his bearing extraordinary.

He smiled and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"Why is your highness so anxious? Although General Chu is young and energetic, he is a favorite of the emperor after all.

If we capture him like this, I'm afraid the emperor will get suspicious."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then dispersed in tacit understanding.

The prince was so angry that he was fuming, but he couldn't do anything because of the face of the Demon Sect Master.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. (End of this chapter)
