As soon as the voice sounded from out of nowhere, a figure in a red robe suddenly appeared. Between one breath and the next, he emerged from thin air and materialized in front of the throne, preventing Isis and Nigel from ascending the throne. Seeing this, the whole audience exploded with noise, as they were shocked and frightened by this red-robed figure's appearance.
However, the figure's red robe was covering his entire body, so nobody could see him clearly. Despite not seeing his features, those who looked at him were caught up by his icy demeanor. All of them could tell with a single glance that this man undoubtedly had malicious intentions.
Seeing that they were at a disadvantage, Lance rushed to stand protectively before Isis and her son, preventing the mysterious figure from touching them.
Bryant and Marcia also arrived and stood with him opposite the figure.
All the people present, including the elders of the royal family, also focused their eyes on the mysterious figure, trying to guess his identity. After all, those who dared to make trouble at the crowning ceremony of the Holy Dragon Empire's new emperor were definitely not ordinary people.
"Who are you? And why do you question the new emperor's qualification to take over the throne?" Bryant shouted at the figure in a deep voice.
"What a joke! Now everyone knows that the boy's father is an offender wanted by all the spiritual race clans in the Wild Spirit Land. How can that nasty man's son take over the position of the emperor?" the figure sneered.
"The new emperor is the heir appointed by the previous emperor. His succession is a matter of course. As for his father's behavior, it has nothing to do with his succession," Marcia answered seriously.
"Don't kid yourself. Of course, he has everything to do with his father! If this boy becomes the new emperor, the Holy Dragon Empire will collude with that offender and may be attacked by all the spiritual race clans in the Wild Spirit Land. If that happens, the Holy Dragon Empire will fall into an irreparable terrible situation, and its thousand-year foundation will be destroyed. You should know the consequences better than me!" the figure yelled back. It seemed that he was trying to bewitch the crowd into siding with him.
When the spectators heard his statement, the crowd devolved into chaos, as everyone had something to say.
In fact, many of them had the same opinion with the red-robed figure, especially some members of the royal family. They thought that if they let Nigel take over the throne, it would definitely put the Holy Dragon Empire in a more dangerous situation. However, because Nigel was the heir conferred by the former emperor in person, coupled with the support of the Three Great Generals and the spirit manipulator clans of the Holy Dragon Empire, even though they had objections, they could not prevent the boy from taking over the throne. But this mysterious figure's appearance and words just now had provoked those who were dissatisfied with today's crowning ceremony.
"Nonsense! This outsider is not qualified to interfere in the empire's safety and danger. Although I don't know what your intention is, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, or I will not be polite to you!" Bryant warned the stranger sternly.
"Wow! What a tone! Chief Bryant, if it were in the past, I might have been a little intimidated. But now, you are just an ant in my eyes," the figure said arrogantly.
With that, Bryant's eyes flashed with righteous anger. He abruptly released an intense wave of aura at the Immortal Stage, which enveloped the entire square.
