Wang Tianwen was stunned, then his face filled with fear and trepidation.

"Father, what are you saying? Second brother is my own brother, how could I wish for him to be killed by someone else?"

Wang Xingde grunted. "If you didn't want him to die, you wouldn't have released the information to him, and you wouldn't have watched him go assassinate that kid named Chen without stopping him!"

Wang Tianwen's mouth moved, but he stopped himself from speaking.

And Wang Xingde's questioning was clearly not over.

"Wang Tianwen, that was your own brother! He was killed, and you didn't even care about his body, but came directly to me. Tell me, what exactly are you planning!"

Wang Xingde questioned loudly, his eyes wide with anger!

Wang Tianwen's heart trembled violently. So, his father knew everything.

Thinking of this, he fell to his knees in front of Wang Xingde with a thud.

"Father, I was just temporarily blinded. I hope you can forgive me this time!"

"Humph!"

Wang Xingde snorted angrily, "Forgive you? Wang Tianwen, I truly regret giving birth to a wolf cub like you. Do you think I don't know what's in your heart?"

Wang Tianwen knelt on the ground, lowering his head and weeping bitterly, but he didn't dare to say another word.

But Wang Xingde continued to rage: "Your goal is simply the position of Pavilion Master of Cangjian Pavilion! The third son died outside, and now the second son is also dead. The only person who can stop you from becoming the Pavilion Master of Cangjian Pavilion is me, this old wreck! As long as I die, you can smoothly take the throne!"

"Father, I hope you live to be a hundred years old, no, no, two hundred, three hundred… a thousand years old! How could I wish for you to die?"

Wang Tianwen said tremulously.

Wang Xingde slammed his hand on the table. "You still refuse to admit it? Do I have to expose all of your little thoughts?"

"You allowed the second son to assassinate Chen Xiao, and your purpose wasn't really about the third son, but about me!"

"Because you knew that once the second son died, I would be greatly stimulated. At that time, I would take the Dragon-Tiger Body Burst Pill for revenge and fight that kid named Chen to the death!"

"And even if I killed that kid named Chen, my lifespan would only be a dozen hours. After I die, you can smoothly ascend to the position of Pavilion Master of Cangjian Pavilion. Eldest son, am I wrong about anything I've said?"

Wang Tianwen prostrated on the ground, his body constantly rising and falling slightly, looking like he was shivering. But if Wang Xingde saw the expression on his face at this moment, he would definitely explode with anger.

Because Wang Tianwen was smiling.

The constant rising and falling of his body was not because of fear, but because he was suppressing the urge to laugh wildly.

Slowly, Wang Xingde also realized that something was wrong. He looked over and immediately burst into anger: "You rebellious son, are you laughing?"

After being discovered by his father, Wang Tianwen finally couldn't restrain himself and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"Haha!"

"..."

Once Wang Tianwen started laughing, he couldn't stop. He laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground, snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Hahaha, Father, you're really something! You were able to see through all of this. I have to say, the older ginger is spicier!"

Even after being exposed by his father, Wang Tianwen remained unafraid.

Because the result was already a foregone conclusion. The second and third sons were both dead, and the fourth son's life and death were unknown, but he definitely posed no threat to him.

As for his father, Wang Xingde, he had already taken the Dragon-Tiger Body Burst Pill, and his death was a certainty.

So, even if his father saw through him, the result wouldn't change in the slightest.

He, Wang Tianwen, had succeeded!

Although among Wang Xingde's four sons, he wasn't the most talented, nor the most capable, nor the strongest.

But he had carefully planned and taken every step cautiously, relying on the accumulation of daily efforts, and finally became the ultimate winner in this palace struggle!

He was the victor, and the victor deserved to laugh so happily!

"You still dare to laugh!"

Seeing his eldest son's smug look, Wang Xingde's body trembled uncontrollably with anger.

Wang Tianwen said like a madman: "Father, I won! I became the ultimate winner! Shouldn't you congratulate your son? Shouldn't you be proud and feel honored by your son?"

"I know that from a young age, you've never been optimistic about me, always telling me to let my younger brothers have their way, saying that's what an elder brother should do. But so what? What happened to those good-for-nothings you were optimistic about?"

Wang Xingde snorted coldly: "You really think you've won? But you've forgotten one thing. Your brothers are dead, but I'm not dead yet!"

Wang Tianwen was slightly stunned, then his face was filled with horror. "Father, what do you mean by this? Even a tiger won't eat its cubs! You're not going to attack me, are you? Besides, I'm your only son left! If you kill me, our Wang family will be finished, and the vast inheritance of Cangjian Pavilion will fall into the hands of others!"

Wang Xingde also laughed. "Heh heh, do you think I would care about these things when I'm about to die?"

Wang Tianwen's eyes flashed, and he put on a flattering smile. "Father, don't joke with me! I'm your own son! I've been by your side all these years, serving you diligently, and I've never done anything to disobey you!"

Wang Xingde slowly stood up. "You are indeed my biological son. Otherwise, where do you think you inherited all this ruthlessness from?"

"Father, please don't! Your son knows he's wrong! Please spare your son's life! I really know I was wrong!"

Wang Tianwen panicked and kowtowed repeatedly.

But it was too late. From the moment he entered the door, Wang Xingde had already made up his mind to kill him!

"If I were to hand over Cangjian Pavilion to a beast like you, I would rather it disappear from this world!"

Wang Xingde took a step forward, slowly walking towards Wang Tianwen.

And with each step he took, Wang Tianwen felt his heart pound heavily.

"Father, don't! Son begs you, for the sake of my deceased mother, I beg you…"

Wang Tianwen was covered in tears, begging bitterly.

But Wang Xingde was determined and would not be softhearted.

Suddenly, nine long swords floated behind Wang Xingde!

"Son, to die by my sword is your honor!"

"Po Xu zhi Jian (Sword of Destroying Emptiness), go!"

With Wang Xingde's order, a long sword behind him flew directly towards Wang Tianwen.

Wang Tianwen fled in a panic, rushing towards the door. Unfortunately, he only ran two steps before the long sword pierced through his chest.

At this point, all three of Wang Xingde's sons were dead.

And Wang Xingde himself had only a dozen hours left to live.

A dozen hours later, the once-powerful Cangjian Pavilion would rapidly decline, gradually fading away until it completely disappeared into the long river of time.
