From the third prince's behaviour, Xiao Chen could obviously tell that the third prince wanted to rope him in. As for the reason, it was because the struggle for power was clearly extremely intense in the royal clan. That was why the third prince needed to rope in a group of his own forces.
He had already guessed a little, but the reality was far more intense than Xiao Chen had imagined. The Moonless Empire still had not established a crown prince, so the princes had basically reached the point of killing each other.
The royal clan was the most heartless. This saying was not false at all. Before great power, even brothers would not show any mercy.
He waited patiently in his seat. As the battles progressed, the Heaven Realm cultivators that appeared in the end were clearly much more powerful than before. In particular, the Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang clans could basically crush the other clans. Among them, the Shen clan's Shen Qianfeng, the Jiang clan's Jiang Jueying, the Han clan's Han Ping, and the Yang clan's Yang Fu were the strongest.
However, through their battles, Xiao Chen could tell that they were only at the level of peak prodigies. They were still unable to make Xiao Chen take them seriously.
The intense battles continued for another day. After two days, the Illusionary Moon Conference finally came to an end. Originally, it could have been considered a rather successful Illusionary Moon Conference, but because of Xiao Chen's appearance, the clans were still rather displeased. After all, Xiao Chen had taken away thirty Illusionary Moon Fruits by himself. Unknowingly, the gains of the clans had decreased by a lot, especially the Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang clans.
The gains of the Illusionary Moon Conference this time were probably the least the Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang clans had ever obtained. None of the four clans had obtained more than ten Illusionary Moon Fruits.
As the Illusionary Moon Conference came to an end, the people of the various clans left one after another. However, when they left, all of them subconsciously glanced at the pavilion where the Heavenly Stellar Residence resided. At the same time, the Dao King in the lead spoke softly to the people beside him.
"Investigate the origins of the Heavenly Stellar Residence."
After this Illusionary Moon Conference, the Heavenly Stellar Residence, a new power, had successfully entered the eyes of the Moonless Empire's large families. Including the Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang families, all the families had given orders to secretly investigate the Heavenly Stellar Residence.
They had long expected that the major families would make such a move. This was also the intention of Xiao Chen and the Burning Heaven Ruler. Everyone wanted to experience and grow in the SkyRiver Continent. At the very least, they had to integrate into the system of the SkyRiver Continent.
In other words, in the Tianhe Continent, the first thing everyone had to do was to forget their identity as a native of the Tianchen Continent and treat themselves as a member of the Tianhe Continent. This way, they could compete with the native forces of the Tianhe Continent for various cultivation resources to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, Xiao Chen and the Burning Sky Ruler had already planned to show off in the Illusionary Moon Conference. Firstly, it was for the Illusionary Moon Fruit. Secondly, it was to spread the reputation of the Heavenly Stellar Residence. This way, they could quickly gain a foothold in the Moonless Empire.
Seeing the people from the various large families leave one after another, Xiao Chen and the others did not get up. Instead, they quietly waited.
Not long after, after the people from the various large families had left the Illusionary Moon Pavilion, the maid who had delivered the Storage Ring came in front of Xiao Chen again and respectfully said to Xiao Chen, "Young master, please."
Hearing the maid's words, Xiao Chen nodded slightly, then stood up and walked towards the pavilion. Seeing this, Gu Xiu and the other two originally wanted to follow behind Xiao Chen, but the maid stopped them.
"Everyone, please wait for a moment. His Highness has only invited young master."
"You dare to stop us?" Hearing the maid's words, Gu Xiu immediately shouted coldly. Hearing this, Xiao Chen waved his hand slightly.
"Elder Gu Xiu, please wait here. If there's nothing else, I'll be back soon."
Already guessing what Chu Wuming wanted to say to him, Xiao Chen did not intend to let Gu Xiu and the other two follow him. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gu Xiu and the other two fiercely glared at the maid, then cupped their hands and said to Xiao Chen.
"Then we will wait here for young master. Young master, please be careful."
Smiling and nodding at Gu Xiu and the other two, Xiao Chen was led by the maid to the central pavilion.
The entire pavilion had two floors. As soon as Xiao Chen entered the pavilion, he saw that Chu Wuming was already waiting here. There was no one else around. In the entire hall of the first floor of the pavilion, only Chu Wuming was there. Even Wu Yun was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing Xiao Chen walk into the pavilion, Chu Wuming immediately greeted him warmly, as if he had seen an old friend. His hands naturally held Xiao Chen's shoulders as he said with a smile.
"Haha, brother Xiao Chen, I've made you wait for a long time. I have already prepared some wine. Today, I will definitely drink with Brother Xiao until we're drunk."
Having already prepared the wine for Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming looked at the maid at the side and said, "You can leave. Today, I want to speak with brother Xiao Chen alone. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter."
"Yes." After hearing Chu Wuming's words, the female servant replied respectfully. Immediately after, she left the pavilion and even closed the main entrance of the pavilion.
After ordering the irrelevant people to leave, Chu Wuming personally pulled Xiao Chen to the table. There was only a very simple short table. There were two praying mats on both sides of the table. From the looks of it, Chu Wuming actually wanted to eat at the same table as Xiao Chen. This kind of courtesy was already very high. From this, it could be seen how much importance Chu Wuming attached to Xiao Chen.
In the face of Chu Wuming's enthusiasm, Xiao Chen did not feel the slightest bit nervous. Perhaps in the eyes of others, with Chu Wuming's status, eating at the same table as Xiao Chen was absolutely a matter of fear and trepidation. However, for someone of Xiao Chen's status, it was not the slightest bit of pressure.
Sitting opposite Chu Wuming, Chu Wuming personally poured wine for Xiao Chen. Then, Chu Wuming took the initiative to raise his cup and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, today you and I feel like old friends at the first meeting. This is the first cup of wine for you."
"Your Highness is too polite. Xiao Chen is just a wanderer. How could he be worthy of Your Highness's kindness?" Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen's mouth was polite, but he also raised his wine cup. Then, the two drank at the same time.
After drinking this cup, Chu Wuming was overjoyed when he heard Xiao Chen's words. Xiao Chen was a Ranger, which meant that he did not have a sect behind him. A Rogue Cultivator without a sect was naturally more convenient to rope in.
Xiao Chen's identity made Chu Wuming overjoyed. Then, he no longer beat around the bush. Since Xiao Chen was just a Rogue Cultivator, there were many things that he could say directly.
Putting down the wine cup, the look on Chu Wuming's face gradually became serious. Looking at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming said with sincerity, "Brother Xiao Chen, to be honest, in fact, this King is now in need of people. If I can get Brother Xiao Chen's help, this King can be said to be like a tiger that has grown wings."
