We Agreed You’d Just Play the Divine Son, So How Did You Become the Forbidden Zone Emperor?

Chapter 7. Checking In for the Chaos Dual Pupils—The Personal Guard Shows His Hand!

“This man is definitely not the Third Prince!”

The Forbidden Army Guard thought to himself. He had followed the Third Prince for many years, from childhood to adulthood—more than ten years in total.

Earlier, he had been too anxious, worried for the Third Prince’s safety, and so he had not thought too deeply.

But along the way, Chu Feng inside the war chariot had been quiet as a chicken, becoming steady and composed—completely different from the Third Prince in his memory.

Staring at Chu Feng’s back, the Forbidden Army Guard’s eyes darkened. At this moment, a probing scheme had already formed in his mind.

With a respectful tone, the guard said, “Your Highness, Consort Yu said earlier that the moment you returned, you were to go to the Jinxuan Palace to see her.”

Hearing this, Chu Feng replied indifferently, “Mm.”

“Jinxuan Palace…”

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes.

The Great Chu Imperial Palace was like an enormous labyrinth. Having just arrived, how could Chu Feng possibly know where the so-called Jinxuan Palace was?

However, he did not panic. He simply waited for the guard to lead the way.

After arriving at the Great Chu Imperial Palace, no one was allowed to ride a war chariot.

Except for the current Chu Emperor!

Everyone else had to walk steadily and properly. Even stepping through the air was forbidden. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a provocation against the royal family—an offense punishable by immediate execution!

And yet…

Chu Feng waited several breaths, but he did not see the guard make any move.

At once, Chu Feng’s gaze sank as he thought, Something is wrong. He is testing me!

After fusing with the Chaos Dual Pupils, Chu Feng’s mind had become swift. In an instant, he guessed what was happening.

Behind him, the Forbidden Army Guard’s expression turned sinister as he said in a low voice, “Your Highness, are you standing here because you do not recognize the way?”

At this moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the guard. Threads of killing intent seeped out!

His tactic truly worked.

After all, the Third Prince was Consort Yu’s child.

From childhood to adulthood, he had gone to the Jinxuan Palace countless times.

To claim he did not know where the Jinxuan Palace was—was absolutely impossible!

Now this “Third Prince” stood there blankly without moving. There was definitely something suspicious!

Boom…

Behind him, the Forbidden Army Guard advanced step by step, his footfalls ringing against the ground like clashing metal. Every sound carried boundless suspicion and razor-sharp killing intent!

“Your Highness… you look completely different from before…”

The guard had already closed to within three feet behind Chu Feng.

Seeing that Chu Feng still did not move, the Forbidden Army Guard became one hundred percent certain: this man was an impostor!

“It seems my guess was correct!”

The guard sneered without restraint. With a thunderous boom, the terrifying aura of a peak Life Palace Realm expert exploded outward, enveloping Chu Feng!

“Who are you, really? How dare you impersonate the Third Prince? You have committed a monstrous crime. Even the extermination of ten clans would not cleanse your guilt!”

He laid everything bare at last, his expression icy to the extreme, as though he would strike Chu Feng in the very next moment!

And just then—

Chu Feng slowly turned around, his expression calm and unhurried.

Compared to the guard, whose entire body was wrapped in killing intent, the contrast was stark.

“What did you say?”

The Forbidden Army Guard froze. He had not expected Chu Feng to dare turn around—nor to remain so composed. He even questioned him in return!

The guard sneered and said, “You have some nerve. I would very much like to know who is behind you.”

Chu Feng’s expression did not change.

In the next instant, his eyes opened and closed!

In an instant, Chu Feng’s previously ordinary eyes transformed into a layered, overlapping state—pitch-black chaos intertwined with supreme golden patterns, while strands of chaotic energy spilled out!

For a time, heaven and earth lost their color. All things seemed to stand still, and even the flow of time slowed.

The guard’s pupils shrank abruptly. In that moment, his gaze was seized by Chu Feng’s eyes.

Within the opening and closing of those Chaos Dual Pupils, countless scenes flashed past.

From the birth and destruction of the cosmos, down to the movement of dust—everything was reflected with perfect clarity.

“This…!”

A supreme, peerless aura of chaos poured out from Chu Feng’s body.

It made the Forbidden Army Guard’s entire body shudder violently as he felt an intense suppression rooted in his very bloodline!

At this moment, the guard trembled uncontrollably from head to toe!

Even though he was at the peak of the Life Palace Realm, and Chu Feng’s cultivation was far inferior to his—

that bloodline pressure was suffocating. The killing intent throughout his body vanished without a trace!

“Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who this prince is!”

Chu Feng’s voice was indifferent. As the Chaos Dual Pupils opened and closed, the sun and moon seemed to reverse. At the same time, he secretly simulated the aura of the Great Chu royal bloodline.

For one who had fused with the Chaos Dual Pupils, imitating that royal aura was far too easy.

Once the Chaos Dual Pupils opened, he did not even need to lift a hand to make this peak Life Palace Realm expert tremble all over, his body stiff with fear!

Thud!

With Chu Feng’s cold shout, the Forbidden Army Guard could no longer hold on.

He dropped to his knees, his upper body limp, prostrating himself on the ground while shaking uncontrollably.

“Y-Your Highness… Your Highness…”

Trembling, the guard babbled incoherently. “This subordinate was blind and ignorant! How could I… how could I presume to doubt Your Highness’ identity!”

The royal bearing that radiated from Chu Feng—simulated through the Chaos Dual Pupils—seemed to pierce the heavens and sink into the earth. It made the guard feel as though he was not facing a prince at all.

He felt as though he was facing the Great Chu’s sacred emperor!

In this moment, the guard was wracked with regret. How had he dared suspect His Highness in the first place?

If such an aura was not royal, then what else could it be?

Chu Feng said nothing.

Meanwhile, the guard’s thoughts raced, and his face turned as white as paper.

As a Forbidden Army Guard, he did not stand alone. He had a family behind him as well.

To become a Forbidden Army Guard—and moreover, to become a prince’s personal guard—was an immense honor, something countless people of the Great Chu Dynasty dreamed of.

Yet now, he had suddenly grown suspicious and recklessly questioned a prince’s identity. It was nothing less than courting death!

He had to do something. He absolutely could not drag his family down with him!

BOOM!!

At that moment, without the slightest hesitation, the Forbidden Army Guard struck his own dantian with a palm.

With a puff, the dantian shattered, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged outward like a tidal wave, scattering in all directions.

His peak Life Palace Realm cultivation plummeted rapidly—Wheel Sea, Blood Circulation, until it fell to Body Tempering!

The guard grew weak all over, yet he still prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly as he said:

“Your Highness, this subordinate feared that I would stain the Great Chu Imperial Palace, and thus I did not dare take my own life to atone. I could only cripple my own cultivation. I beg Your Highness for forgiveness!”

Watching this, Chu Feng could not help but feel a deep emotion stir within him.

No matter what, the other party had been a peak Life Palace Realm expert.

Perhaps in the imperial palace he was nothing special.

But in the outside world, he would be a lofty existence who stood above others.

After all, even the Patriarch of the Shangguan Family was only in the Condensing Dao Realm. If this man were placed within the Shangguan Family, he would be an elder-like figure.

However, Chu Feng felt not the slightest pity.

The weak were prey, and the strong were honored!

If he had not fused with the Chaos Dual Pupils, he would already have been seen through.

In the next moment, he would likely have suffered unimaginable torment.

At that time, he would have been unable to live, unable to die!

Just then!

From the distance, a young girl’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Your Highness!”

Hearing the voice, Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and looked toward the source.

He saw a young girl of about fifteen or sixteen, dressed in a pale pink ruqun, with a moon-white silk ribbon tied at her waist. Her black hair was styled into twin buns, and she seemed to be a maidservant.
