We Agreed You’d Just Play the Divine Son, So How Did You Become the Forbidden Zone Emperor? Chapter 32 : Chapter 32

Chapter 32. The Death of Chu Xinghe Causes a Trendous Uproar!

When the crowd saw that Chu Xinghe’s command token had dimd, they were all shocked.

The Fifth Prince, Chu Xinghe, possessed the Domineering King Physique. His cultivation was at the high stage of the Life Palace Realm, and he was not far from the Condensing Dao Realm.

At his age, he was a prodigy among prodigies.

In this Heavenly Hunt Ceremony, countless people had favored him, believing he could compete for the championship and soar to the heavens in a single leap.

Yet now, his token had dimd, as if he were about to fall.

Such an on caused everyone present to undergo a drastic change in expression.

Sothing was terribly wrong.

The Fifth Prince’s mother, Consort Yun, also changed expression abruptly when she saw this.

“How could this be? What did Xinghe encounter inside the Royal Hunting Grounds?”

She could not help but cry out. She imdiately stood up, her face filled with urgency, as though she were about to rush inside to investigate in the next mont.

Prince Canghai, seated beside her, narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, “There is no need to panic.”

“You and I both know Xinghe’s strength. Perhaps he encountered a powerful adversary in the hunting grounds. But we must trust him. He will surely slay his enemy!”

However, just as Prince Canghai finished speaking—

HUM!!

Everyone saw that among the several hundred tokens, Chu Xinghe’s token—the one with the towering blood pillar—suddenly dimd completely, turning into utter darkness without the slightest trace of light.

This ant that Chu Xinghe, who was bound to that token, had already died and no longer existed in this world.

The mont this scene appeared—

The entire venue fell into extre silence.

Then, a shrill scream erupted.

“Xinghe!!!”

The voice was none other than that of Consort Yun, Chu Xinghe’s birth mother.

Her eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

That was her son—her only son. From the mont he was born, he had been the center of attention, a prodigy whose future, if he did not fall prematurely, would at the very least reach the Venerable Realm or even the Mighty Expert Realm.

He might even have had a chance to ascend to the Saint Realm!

Such a peerless genius—and now his life token was dark and lightless, dead within the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony?!

Though in previous ceremonies there had always been prodigies who died—

Those who perished were at most mid-tier or lower-tier talents.

A seeded genius like Chu Xinghe should never have fallen!

Consort Yun’s voice was shrill and piercing, her eyes nearly maddened.

Beside her, Prince Canghai’s brows were tightly furrowed. The lazy and carefree expression that usually lingered on his face vanished entirely.

BOOM!

Two beams of divine light shot from his eyes as he gazed toward the Royal Hunting Grounds, as though trying to see through everything within.

“How could this happen? Xinghe has actually fallen?!” Prince Canghai’s voice carried unmistakable shock.

It was not only him.

The other three Imperial Princes seated at the banquet also revealed looks of surprise. They exchanged glances, their expressions tinged with sothing unusual.

Across the venue, thousands of prominent figures of the Great Chu Dynasty erupted in exclamations of shock.

They were utterly astonished.

“Chu Xinghe… is actually dead?”

“Hiss… He possessed the Domineering King Physique. It was said he was not far from the Condensing Dao Realm!”

“With Chu Xinghe’s strength, no demonic beast below the Condensing Dao Realm could possibly kill him!”

“Could it be that within the Royal Hunting Grounds, there exists a Condensing Dao Realm Demonic Beast surpassing the Life Palace Realm?!”

“How could that be! If such a demonic beast truly existed, the imperial family would certainly have detected it and eliminated it long ago!”

Countless murmurs swept across the entire banquet.

Chu Xinghe’s death ignited the entire Heavenly Hunt Ceremony. The countless spectators were deeply shaken.

He was not an ordinary figure like the other fallen prodigies, who were largely unknown and had never drawn much attention.

Even if they died, few would know their nas or what distinguished them.

But Chu Xinghe had been the focus of public attention. As the Fifth Prince, he was a core figure of the Great Chu Dynasty. His maternal clan was imnsely powerful, holding a pivotal position within the dynasty.

At this mont, Consort Yun’s gaze suddenly shifted to the Chu Emperor, who sat steadily upon the dragon throne.

No matter what, Chu Xinghe was still the Chu Emperor’s biological son.

Now that his own son had died, how could he, as his father, remain unmoved?

Grinding her teeth, Consort Yun said, “Your Majesty!”

“Your son, Chu Xinghe, has t with misfortune within the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony. Are you truly going to remain indifferent? At the very least, you should send soone in to investigate!”

Upon hearing this—

The Chu Emperor, slumped upon the dragon throne, slowly opened his eyes. They were clouded and vacant.

It seed as though a long ti passed before he reacted. Then he spoke slowly:

“Each person has their own fate. Life and death are determined by Heaven.”

After saying only this sentence, he closed his eyes once more.

His tone was calm, revealing the absolute ruthlessness of the imperial household.

Consort Yun stared in disbelief. She stood there, her face flushing red, as though she still wished to say sothing.

Yet Prince Canghai pressed her back down into her seat.

“What are you doing?” she growled in a low voice.

Prince Canghai’s gaze was dark as he said, “Things have already co to this. Your entanglent now has no aning!”

“That is my son! How can it have no aning?!” Consort Yun ground her teeth, and two lines of bloody tears stread down her face.

Prince Canghai spoke in a deep voice, “With Xinghe’s strength, he could not have died so easily. There must be sothing suspicious behind this! The Heavenly Hunt Ceremony is sacred. Once it begins, it cannot be interrupted. We will speak again when it ends!”

Consort Yun pressed her lips together, a faint grinding sound escaping her mouth as she suppressed her rage.

At the banquet—

Consort Yu observed the scene and spoke gently, her tone calm. “As Prince Canghai has said, the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony is not a greenhouse for nurturing flowers. Death and injury are common occurrences.”

The mont her words fell, Prince Canghai’s expression darkened instantly.

He had indeed spoken such words before—yet now they had returned like a boorang, striking him squarely.

Prince Canghai took a deep breath. His gaze turned icy as he looked at Consort Yu and said coldly, “Consort Yu speaks quite aptly with such detached remarks.”

Beside him, Consort Yun clenched her teeth. She was already unable to accept Chu Xinghe’s death.

And now Consort Yu had begun speaking with such cold detachnt.

Word by word, Consort Yun said, “My son is dead. Your useless son will not be far behind!”

Hearing this, Consort Yu rely smiled faintly and did not say much. “Is that so?”

She thought to herself that she had bestowed upon Chu Feng the Dragon-Sealing Needle—a supre treasure capable of killing any demonic beast below the Condensing Dao Realm.

Even against an early-stage Condensing Dao Realm demonic beast, it could contend.

However, with Chu Xinghe’s death, even Consort Yu felt curious. Just what level of existence had killed him?

Logically speaking, such a terrifying demonic beast should not exist within the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony.

Yet just monts after Consort Yun finished speaking—

Among the several hundred tokens—

One token’s blood pillar suddenly shot skyward.

Rumble…

That surging aura of blood and Qi caused even the onlookers to tremble in shock.
