It was understandable that Chu Wushuang wanted to stop the Heaven Scorching Ruler from entering the imperial family. After all, if he had the Heaven Scorching Ruler's support, then Chu Wuming wouldn't have to fear him and Chu Wuque at all. However, Chu Wushuang seemed to be too impatient to stop all of this from happening. Especially at a time like this, even though he was a prince, it was clearly not his place to speak.
After slapping Chu Wushuang flying, no matter if it was Chu Mu or the two Dao Emperors of the imperial family, none of them spoke to stop him. As far as they were concerned, Chu Wushuang really did deserve to be slapped for speaking carelessly just now.
There was a bright red palm print on his right cheek. The Heaven Scorching Ruler hadn't utilized any spirit energy in that slap, nor had he thought about taking Chu Wushuang's life. He knew that he'd spoken wrongly, so even though Chu Wushuang was extremely furious, he didn't dare say another word. At the same time, the two Dao Emperors in the sky descended before the Heaven Scorching Ruler, and one of them looked at the Heaven Scorching Ruler as he spoke.
"You intend to interfere in the internal strife of my imperial family. In this way, you intend to join my imperial family's Chu Clan and become a Supreme Emperor just like the two of us to protect my Chu Clan?"
"That's what I intend." The Heaven Scorching Ruler replied indifferently when he heard this.
"In that case, may I know if you've joined any other sect or power?" The Dao Emperor of the Chu Clan continued to ask.
The two Dao Emperors of the Chu Clan actually didn't care about the competition for the position of Crown Prince. The reason they'd chosen to support Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang was because they felt that they were more suitable to become the Crown Prince. In any case, so long as a Dao Emperor was present, then the Moonless Empire wouldn't collapse. This was beyond doubt.
When facing the Heaven Scorching Ruler that Chu Wuming had found, the two of them were most concerned about two things. Firstly, whether Chu Wushuang would join the imperial family and become a guardian of the Moonless Empire. Secondly, whether there were any other powers standing behind the Heaven Scorching Ruler. If there were, then the two of them would probably have to worry a little more.
Actually, at the Dao Emperor Realm, they didn't take the position of Crown Prince that Chu Wuming and the others were fighting for seriously any longer. Perhaps in the opinion of others, the Crown Prince was an unreachable existence, but in the eyes of great figures at the Dao Emperor Realm, not to mention the Crown Prince, even the Emperor, Chu Mu, was nothing.
In the hearts of these old fellows, the only thing they cared about was the illusory Divine Path and the safety of the Moonless Empire. Other than that, they did not care about anything else.
It was precisely because of this that the two Dao Emperors of the Chu Clan didn't resist the Heaven Scorching Ruler too much. Conversely, they were slightly delighted. If they were really able to obtain a Dao Emperor to join them, then it would undoubtedly be an extremely great increase to the strength of the Moonless Empire.
Knowing what the two of them were thinking, the ruler of the Burning Sky Empire indifferently replied, "I've lived my entire life as my home and have never joined any forces. I only have a few like-minded friends following me. So, the two of you can rest assured about my identity. The Third Prince is very clear on this point. Moreover, if it weren't for my nephew, I wouldn't have come to the Imperial Capital."
The Heaven Scorching Ruler was an independent cultivator and didn't have any power standing behind him. When they heard this, the two Dao Emperors of the Chu Clan glanced at each other, and a wisp of happiness could be seen in each other's eyes.
A Dao Emperor Realm expert who didn't belong to a sect was absolutely great news to the Moonless Empire.
At the same time, they looked at the Heaven Scorching Ruler, and the person who spoke earlier immediately said with a smile, "Then it's truly a blessing for my Moonless Empire. May I know your name?"
When these words were spoken, it clearly represented that the two retired emperors had accepted the Heaven Scorching Ruler. Although they didn't know much about the Heaven Scorching Ruler, they would first tie him to the Moonless Empire. As for the rest, they would talk about it in the future. This was the two retired emperors' plan.
"Fellow Daoists, you can call me Heaven Scorching Ruler." The Heaven Scorching Ruler replied.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Heaven Scorching Ruler. I'm Chu Qingshan, and this is Chu Mubai. From today onwards, Fellow Daoist Heaven Scorching Ruler will be the same as the two of us, the retired emperor of the Moonless Empire."
After learning the Heaven Scorching Ruler's name, Chu Qingshan immediately announced. With his words, the Heaven Scorching Ruler would be the third retired emperor of the Moonless Empire from today onwards.
Of course, to become the retired emperor of the Moonless Empire, there was naturally a whole set of procedures. Moreover, there was also a large-scale Heaven Bestowment Ceremony, which implied that this was a gift from the heavens to the protector of the Moonless Empire.
Without needing Chu Qingshan to say more, the adjacent Chu Mu took the initiative to speak, "Junior will begin preparing for Senior Heaven Bestowment Ceremony."
As the Emperor, in front of the Heaven Scorching Ruler and the other two, Chu Mu didn't dare to call himself 'Emperor'. Hearing Chu Mu's words, Chu Qingshan faintly nodded.
"That's good. Fellow Daoist Heaven Scorching Ruler, let's leave the following matters to the younger generation to handle. The two of us still have some things to discuss with Fellow Daoist Heaven Scorching Ruler."
The matter had already come to an end. Chu Qingshan also wanted to invite the Heaven Scorching Ruler to leave. The conversation between the three of them clearly wasn't suitable to be said in front of everyone.
Knowing Chu Qingshan's intentions, the Heaven Scorching Ruler turned to look at Xiao Chen. Seeing this, the nearby Chu Wuming very perceptively bowed and said, "Senior, don't worry. Junior will arrange things for Brother Xiao Chen and Senior Zhang Qi."
The Heaven Scorching Ruler wanted to leave with Chu Qingshan and the other two, while Xiao Chen and Zhang Qi would be arranged by Chu Wuming. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, the Heaven Scorching Ruler faintly nodded, and then disappeared on the spot with Chu Qingshan and the other two.
The three Dao Emperors had finally left. Everyone present here heaved sighs of relief in their hearts because the pressure they endured when they were with the three Dao Emperors was extremely enormous, and it seemed as if even breathing had become difficult for them.
At the same time, Chu Mu also looked at Chu Wuming. Chu Mu really had a whole new level of respect for this son of his today.
Originally, even Chu Mu thought that Chu Wuming definitely had no fate with the position of Crown Prince. Not only were his two elder brothers too powerful, and they weren't existences he could contend against at all, but who would have imagined that after a trip to Moontrace City and hosting the Moontrace Conference, Chu Wuming would actually bring back a Dao Emperor. At this moment, this Dao Emperor had already become the third Retired Emperor of the Moonless Empire.
With the support of the Heaven Scorching Ruler, Chu Wuming had the confidence to compete with his two elder brothers for the position of Crown Prince once more. For a moment, Chu Mu's feelings became somewhat complicated.
He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to not personally confer the title of Crown Prince and instead let his sons compete with each other.
For the position of Crown Prince, Chu Mu knew that his sons had already reached a state of mutual hostility. Everyone wanted to sit on the position of Crown Prince. After several years of competition, the other princes had all been eliminated. Presently, only Chu Wuming and the other two remained. However, the competition between the three of them was the most accumulated. Especially from today onwards, this kind of competition would probably only become more and more intense.
