"That's right!"
The Third Prince nodded and said solemnly, "The old emperor of the Great Yan Empire passed away ten years ago. The cause of his death is unknown.
He had eight princes and twelve princesses.
The old emperor was in his prime and had been at the peak of the Divine Lord realm for many years. He had been looking for an opportunity to break through to the Divine King realm.
However, he didn't appoint a crown prince and suddenly passed away outside the empire. Even his corpse has not been found.
This caused the Great Yan Empire to fall into chaos for half a year after his death.
During this period, the princes fought for power and wealth to inherit the throne.
Among them, the two most powerful princes were the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince.
The Eldest Prince was the eldest son, and his mother was the Empress. It was only logical that he should inherit the throne.
Moreover, the Imperial Family members and elders supported him.
However, the Fourth Prince argued that the Eldest Prince had something to do with the death of the old emperor and that the Eldest Prince had ulterior motives.
He swore to seize the throne and investigate the cause of the old emperor's death to give the people an explanation.
The Fourth Prince was very powerful and had won the support of the other princes, princesses, and officials.
Moreover, he had recruited many top forces and was very powerful. "
When he heard this, Ji Tianxing frowned and asked, "Then the Fourth Prince failed? He's Grand Prince Lian? "
"No!" The Third Prince shook his head and explained, "The Fourth Prince did fail, but he was killed by the Eldest Prince's Heaven-shaking Divine Sword outside the palace.
Too many things happened during the fight between the two princes. Too many forces were involved, and the process was very complicated. It can't be explained in a few words.
But in the end, the First Prince won and rightfully inherited the throne, becoming the new Emperor.
The Fourth Prince was killed, and the three princes and five princesses who supported him, as well as a large number of court officials, were captured.
Those people were either severely punished, imprisoned in the Imperial City, or exiled to various Divine Kingdoms. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and asked, "So Grand Prince Lian was one of the three princes who supported the Fourth Prince?"
"No." The Third Prince shook his head again.
"You!" Ji Tianxing frowned and said unhappily, "Can you stop keeping me in suspense and tell me everything at once?"
"Uh …" The Third Prince was a little embarrassed, so he explained straightforwardly, "Prince Lian is the Eighth Prince. He didn't participate in the fight for the throne.
Before that incident, he had always been obsessed with the cultivation of the Divine Dao and was determined to break through to the Divine King Realm.
He wasn't interested in politics, power, or the throne, and he was only immersed in cultivation and pursued the peak of the Divine Dao that was eternal and indestructible.
Among the eight princes, he was the most talented and the most favored by the old Emperor.
Many people even speculated that if he helped the Fourth Prince fight for the throne, he would most likely succeed. "
Ji Tianxing was even more confused and asked, "Since Grand Prince Lian is a martial maniac and didn't participate in the struggle for the throne, why was he exiled to Bloodflame Divine Country?"
The Third Prince was silent for a moment before replying, "Because he and the Fourth Prince are of the same mother!
Even though he didn't participate in the fight for the throne, the Fourth Prince and their mother almost killed the First Prince and took the throne.
After the First Prince fought for the throne, he killed the Fourth Prince and their mother. He also executed the entire Fourth Prince Residence, killing more than three thousand people! "
"So that's how it is!" Only then did Ji Tianxing come to a realization. No wonder Prince Lian didn't do anything and was punished.
The Third Prince continued, "After the First Prince ascended the throne, Prince Lian acted very indifferent, as if he didn't care about the death of his brother and mother.
Moreover, he was still immersed in cultivation and didn't show any signs of rebellion.
Because of this incident, countless people in the Imperial Capital talked behind his back, saying that Prince Lian was an emotionless cold-blooded animal. They really felt sorry for the Fourth Prince and his mother.
But Prince Lian didn't move, as usual. "
Ji Tianxing continued, "But the more he acted like this, the more the First Prince feared him.
The First Prince was also worried that if Prince Lian broke through to the Divine King Realm, his death would come. "
"That's right!" The Third Prince nodded in agreement and said, "Therefore, after the First Prince ascended the throne, he punished those traitors and Prince Lian.
He gave the Eighth Prince the title of Prince Lian and rewarded him with tens of billions of resources to comfort him. He sent him to the Bloodfire Divine Kingdom as the Overseer.
The Eighth Prince's residence was kept, but all the servants, guards, and hangers-on were dismissed.
When Prince Lian came to the Bloodfire Divine Kingdom, he only brought two servants, one old and one young, with him. It was miserable! "
Ji Tianxing said calmly, "The First Prince did this to keep Prince Lian away from the Great Yan Empire, away from the center of power, so that he wouldn't have a chance to stir up trouble.
Moreover, he removed his subordinates and made him an idle prince in the Bloodfire Divine Kingdom.
In this way, Prince Lian wouldn't be a threat to the First Prince's throne.
However, Prince Lian wasn't the kind of person who would take it lying down.
I guess Prince Lian has been recruiting and scheming in the dark ever since he came to the Bloodfire Divine Kingdom.
He probably wants to kill his way back to the Great Yan Empire to avenge his mother and brother. "
The Third Prince frowned and thought for a while. He nodded and said, "Maybe! However, this kind of thing is better left unsaid. Who would dare to discuss it openly?
After Prince Lian came to the Bloodfire Divine Kingdom, he built his residence into an impregnable fortress in just three years.
Not only did he recruit thousands of guards, but he also recruited 300 diners and people with special abilities.
Moreover, the Fourth Prince's old subordinates, including those top martial arts forces, have quietly joined him.
Now, he has formed an alliance with the Fifth Prince. I guess he has some ulterior motives.
I don't know what method he used to make Father make the Fifth Prince the Crown Prince.
This matter definitely has something to do with Prince Lian! "
Ji Tianxing nodded and asked, "You just said that the Fourth Prince's old subordinates and those martial arts forces have all joined Prince Lian's faction?
Does the Heavenly Union Sect include those powerful martial arts forces? "
The Third Prince nodded and said, "Yes! The Heavenly Union Sect is one of the top ten sects in the Great Yan Empire.
However, after the Inheritance War ten years ago, the Heavenly Union Sect sacrificed a lot to help the Fourth Prince.
Now, the Heavenly Union Sect is much weaker than before.
However, the Heavenly Union Sect isn't the only sect that has joined Prince Lian.
Based on our observations over the past ten years, I'm afraid there's another top sect and several second-rate sects.
In short, Prince Lian doesn't want to reveal himself because he doesn't want to attract the Great Yan Emperor's attention.
However, he's been accumulating forces in secret and has long grown to a shocking extent.
Now that he's interfering with Father's Crown Prince selection, it must be part of his plan. "
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "A ninth-level Divine Lord, the prince with the most talent and potential...
Moreover, he's gathered a large number of experts and recruited two top sects... He's a formidable opponent! "
