Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen knew that Chu Wuming was trying to rope him in. Xiao Chen secretly smiled, but there was no change on his face. Xiao Chen cupped his hands and bowed to Chu Wuming, and then said lightly.
"Your Highness really thinks too highly of me. I'm just a small warrior in the Celestial Realm. How can I help Your Highness achieve great things?"
Xiao Chen didn't agree, but he also didn't refuse decisively. He still wanted to get some information from Chu Wuming.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming said that he and his two brothers were competing for the position of Crown Prince.
Looking at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming sighed softly and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, you must be joking. With Brother Xiao Chen's strength, it's hard to find a match among your peers. If I can get Brother Xiao Chen's help, I don't have to worry about not being able to achieve great things. I won't hide it from Brother Xiao Chen. Since Father ascended the throne, he has never appointed a Crown Prince. Now, all the princes have been competing for the position of Crown Prince since the beginning. Only my two brothers and I have the ability to continue competing."
"It can be said that the position of Crown Prince can only be born between me and my two brothers. Moreover, because of the competition for the position of Crown Prince, the relationship between us three brothers has become more and more tense. Now, it's almost to the point where we won't rest until one of us dies. Therefore, not only me, but also my two brothers are wantonly trying to rope in various forces in the Empire."
"Beside my two brothers, I don't know what method they used to rope in two core disciples of the Windless Sacred Sect. The two should be about the same age as Brother Xiao Chen. Their cultivation is also at the great circle of the Celestial Realm. However, their combat strength is extremely terrifying. I have personally seen them kill two Dao Querying Realm warriors in succession."
"And beside me, no one in the same realm and the same age is their opponent. In this way, Brother Xiao Chen should understand what I mean, right?"
Chu Wuming didn't hide anything. At the same time, the meaning of his words was very clear. The ultimate purpose of recruiting Xiao Chen was to use him to contend with the two core disciples of the Windless Sacred Sect. Although he didn't know whether Xiao Chen could compete with the two core disciples of the Sacred Sect, in the current situation, Chu Wuming didn't have much choice and could only give it a try.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and took a sip of the fine wine in his cup. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Xiao Chen doesn't deserve Your Highness's favor. Allow Xiao Chen to ask, how is Your Highness's power compared to your two brothers?"
The only ones who still had a chance to compete for the position of Crown Prince were Chu Wuming and his two brothers. At this time, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming was stunned at first, but then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Xiao Chen's words were actually to better understand the situation of the Moonless Empire. However, in Chu Wuming's ears, Xiao Chen wanted to ask him where his confidence came from. At the same time, he also wanted to see if he had any hope of winning compared to his two brothers. After all, if Xiao Chen chose to help Chu Wuming, then Xiao Chen would be in the same boat as Chu Wuming. If Chu Wuming lost in the end, Xiao Chen's fate could be imagined.
He misunderstood Xiao Chen's meaning. Of course, this was also the purpose Xiao Chen wanted to achieve. With a bitter smile, Chu Wuming was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth. Although Chu Wuming could deceive Xiao Chen now, this kind of deception couldn't last long, so Chu Wuming chose to tell the truth.
As he gazed at Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming spoke with a bitter expression.
"To tell you the truth, compared to my two brothers, I'm already at the end of my road. If a turn of events doesn't appear, then I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw from the competition for the position of Crown Prince."
Chu Wuming spoke truthfully about his current situation. Presently, he was already at the end of his road, and these words weren't false at all, nor did he have the slightest intention of exaggerating.
Compared to his two brothers, the two Core Disciples of Tianfeng Shengzong were a great weakness of Chu Wuming, but it wasn't the most crucial gap.
Compared to his two brothers, Chu Wuming was the most passive, and that was when it came to almighty figures at the Dao Emperor Realm.
Yes, almighty figures at the Dao Emperor Realm. Presently, there were a total of two almighty figures at the Dao Emperor Realm in the entire Moonless Empire, and both of them were from the Imperial Family.
Presently, Chu Wuming's two older brothers had each obtained the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert, and only Chu Wuming didn't have the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert.
In this way, Chu Wuming who didn't have the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert could clearly be considered to have failed. Because many powers didn't dare side with Chu Wuming, and the reason was very simple. It was because Chu Wuming didn't have the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert.
It was obviously impossible for a prince that didn't have the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert to become eminent in the competition for the position of Crown Prince, and the various powers would naturally not be stupid enough to side with a prince that didn't have the slightest chance of winning.
It could be said that since Chu Wuming's two older brothers successively obtained the support of the two Dao Emperor Realm experts of the Imperial Family, their forces grew stronger and stronger by the day. On the other hand, Chu Wuming's forces grew weaker and weaker by the day, and it was even to the extent that many powers that had sided with Chu Wuming had started to leave successively and side with Chu Wuming's two older brothers.
The situation was very bad, and it was even to the extent that it could be said that Chu Wuming had already failed. Presently, he was only struggling at death's door.
It was impossible for him to go against his two older brothers because so long as Chu Wuming didn't have the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert behind him, then it was impossible for Chu Wuming to have the confidence to go against his two older brothers. On the other hand, even though the entire Moonless Empire had an enormous population and a vast territory, where could one find a Dao Emperor Realm expert? It was utterly impossible to find one.
Chu Wuming truthfully told Xiao Chen about his current situation. In the end, he said in an extremely sincere manner, "To tell you the truth, Brother Xiao Chen, I'm in an extremely dangerous situation now, and it can even be said that I'm in a hopeless situation. However, I still hope that Brother Xiao Chen can lend me a hand. Even though my two older brothers have the support of a Dao Emperor Realm expert behind them, they're both Ancestors of the Imperial Family, so they won't personally make a move against me. They're mostly just a form of deterrence. If Brother Xiao Chen is able to assist me, then I'll still have a chance to fight my two older brothers."
When he heard Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen fell silent and didn't answer him. He was naturally not silent because of Chu Wuming's situation, and he was silent because of the situation in the Moonless Empire.
I never expected that the Moonless Empire's Imperial Family would actually have two Dao Emperor Realm experts. Fortunately, I didn't become enemies with the Imperial Family, otherwise, just the Heaven Scorcher Ruler alone would be insufficient to go against the Imperial Family of the Moonless Empire.
After he obtained some secret information about the Imperial Family of the Moonless Empire from Chu Wuming and confirmed the number of Dao Emperor Realm experts in the Imperial Family, Xiao Chen fell silent for a short while before a bold plan quickly arose in his heart. He gazed at Chu Wuming because if this plan was to be carried out, then Chu Wuming couldn't be left unattended. Moreover, Chu Wuming was extremely crucial.
