You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 344 - 2, Completely eliminate_3

"Thank you, Grandfather—" Xiahong Ning held the Heart Protecting Jade in her tiny palms, pretending to be mature as she mimicked an adult's bow of gratitude.

Duke Heng couldn't help but laugh.

Then, he turned to Lin Yue, who sat in the premier seat, and said with a smile, "In previous years, Your Highness preferred a quieter birthday celebration for Ning'er and Chen'er. Why is it so lively this year?"

Today, Lin Yue was dressed in the customary attire of a prince, adding a touch of authority. His gaze swept over the numerous pavilions and platforms below, then he transmitted via Divine Thought, "Lord Qi, speaking of which, I still need your help in managing my residence. After my trip to Dawn Platform tomorrow, I will be participating in the wilderness survival trial the day after, and I expect to be away for a year."

Duke Heng was somewhat surprised and transmitted back, "Your Highness, is this why you invited so many guests?"

"Not exactly," Lin Yue's lips slightly curled up, "I just want to establish my authority and clear up the troubles all at once before I leave."

"Establish authority? Clear up troubles?" Duke Heng was puzzled.

Lin Yue didn't say anything more but stood up, took his cup, and walked to the pavilion's railing, overlooking the many guests and guest elders below, and loudly said:

"Today is my beloved daughter's birthday banquet. Please, everyone, raise your glasses and drink alongside my palace."

Hearing this, the guest elders and guests among the pavilions and platforms all stopped their chats and conversations and promptly poured wine to raise their glasses.

The wine flowed down their throats.

On the spacious grassy slope, musicians played their instruments while the melodious music filled the air, and dancers gracefully moved with flowing sleeves.

Standing by the railing, Lin Yue glanced below and said with a light smile, "Moreover, to express my gratitude and respect to some of the guests and guest elders, I would like to offer one more toast to you—bring the wine."

Baili Fengzhi immediately approached, holding a wine jug, and poured more into his cup.

The guests and guest elders below were somewhat perplexed; what had they done to deserve the Prince's special toast?

As Lin Yue casually held his wine cup, he slowly turned the mouth of the cup upside down, pouring the wine slowly onto the ground.

The crowd was momentarily taken aback.

What did this mean?

Some of the guests and guest elders glimpsed each other, their expressions slightly changing, sensing a premonition.

"This cup is to mourn those among you who are ignorant of your impending deaths."

The next moment, as Lin Yue's voice resonated across Mingxin Island, a sudden, enormous surge of the Power of Heaven and Earth gathered above, instantly transforming into a misty light.

"Is this... the Immortal Extinguishing Light?"

"Can the Residence Array actually manifest the legendary Immortal Extinguishing Light?"

Some Great Cultivators among the guests and guest elders instantly changed their expressions, recognizing the power represented by the misty light.

Immediately, the misty light split into dozens of strands, falling upon dozens of guest elders and several guests, the cloudy light instantaneously entering their bodies, sealing their Mana, physical bodies, and even Divine Souls!

The crowd was taken aback. What was happening?

The dozens whose powers were sealed, although appearing confused and slightly panicked, understood the reason inside and felt almost desperate.

"Seventeenth Prince, what is the meaning of this?"

"Your Highness?"

"Why seal me, Your Highness?"

"I do not know how I have offended Your Highness, please clarify!"

Among these dozens, many started speaking with expressions of confusion and wronged demeanors, their acting almost convincing.

"There's no need to perform in front of me."

Lin Yue waved his sleeve, and the musicians and dancers retreated, as those dozens of people were lifted and dropped onto the grass.

Then, he looked at these people and said word by word, "Considering you have been infiltrating for a long time, I am willing to give you a chance to do meritorious deeds; otherwise, do not blame me for ordering a Soul Search."

The crowd then realized that the Prince believed these individuals were members of the Demon Clan infiltrating Great Yong!

Those dozens naturally denied this, each dramatically explaining and debating, some indignant, some begging for mercy, still others pleading tearfully for investigation.

"Your Highness, if you suspect I am of the Demon Clan, I prefer to die to prove my loyalty to the Human Clan!"

"Ye has never offended Your Highness; why must you do this?"

"I swear on my life I am not of the Demon Clan; please investigate thoroughly!"

Not just these people, but some of the guests below also started pleading, those with significant backgrounds even appearing visibly upset.

Lin Yue, growing annoyed, listened.

These individuals were from a list of infiltrators he had secretly compiled over the past five years.

He was sure they were from the Demon Clan.

Regrettably, these demons would not confess, and even their Divine Souls had concealed methods, making Soul Searching difficult.

"You do not trust me? Then let me make it clear to you."

With an indifferent wave of his sleeve, Lin Yue summoned brilliant lightning from the sky that instantly shattered the lifeforce of these dozens.

The crowd was stunned. Even if these individuals were suspects, no conclusive evidence existed yet the Prince dared to eliminate them so directly without any proof?

Then, the bodies, which were relatively intact, suddenly began to change, each showing traits of mutant beasts transformation.

The crowd was taken aback again. Were they truly from the Demon Clan?

This proved to be the most direct method to confirm if they were demons, but what if he killed the wrong person?

The Prince was so certain?

Lin Yue's gaze swept over the onlookers and he spoke in a low voice, "Take heed, among you, there are still spies from the Demon Clan. Anyone who plans against my palace, come forward and meet your death. I am curious to see how many of you lurking in Di Hong City are from the Demon Clan."
