In the Royal Capital of Chu, within the Royal Palace, within an elegant villa, there was a group of armored soldiers standing guard outside, exuding an austere killing intent.
In the room, a row of young men and women were kneeling in front of the bed. In front of them, the Emperor of Chu was on the verge of death, as though he would pass away at any moment.
"Wu Wei." The Sovereign King looked at a young man, his voice weak.
"Father." Chu Wuwei stared at his dying father as he sighed in his heart. No matter if you were an Emperor or a commoner, when you were on the verge of death, you would always be in such a state. No wonder there were so many people in the Grand Xia Continent who were all pursuing the path of cultivation. Not only did the path of cultivation grant them immense strength, it also granted them a longer lifespan.
"After I die, help your younger brother to protect the bloodline of the Royal Clan of Chu." The lifeless eyes of the Emperor King flickered with a hint of hope as he stared at his eldest son.
"Why didn't Big Brother inherit the throne?"
Upon hearing the words of the Emperor King, the eyes of the person on the right of Chu Wuwei widened as he spoke with an unconvinced tone. Even if his father was about to die, he still wanted to speak up for his elder brother.
In his eyes, his eldest brother, Chu Wuwei, was the most perfect of them all. He was also the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne of Chu. As for his third brother, he didn't like him at all.
The Emperor stared at the second prince, Chu Mang, as he sighed in his heart. These three sons of his were all exceedingly outstanding.
The First Prince, Chu Wuwei, was indifferent to fame and fortune because he couldn't cultivate. He didn't yearn for power struggles, but even so, he had a terrifying intellect and methods. Not only that, his character was extremely well-liked. Other than the fact that he couldn't cultivate, he could be said to be perfect, even surpassing Chu Tianjiao.
The Emperor King was even thinking that if he wanted to seize the throne, how confident would Chu Tianjiao be?
The second prince, Chu Mang, was impulsive and clumsy. His IQ was the lowest, but his martial prowess was the highest. He was the most outstanding out of the three brothers, and in the entire Chu Country, there weren't many who were as dazzling as him. If Chu Wuwei was the one with the highest level of talent in the Martial Dao, that would be the true definition of perfection. Sadly, nobody was perfect.
The third prince, Chu Tianjiao, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for him, and was deeply loved by him. The only flaw he had was that he was too arrogant.
"Shut up." Chu Wuwei berated Chu Mang. Momentarily, Chu Mang turned his head away, refusing to look at the Emperor, causing the Emperor to sigh endlessly. They were all his sons, how could he not love them?
"Father, as long as I exist, the bloodline of the royal family will exist." Chu Wuwei calmly stated. The Emperor stared at him, as though waiting for him to say something else. Sadly, Chu Wuwei didn't say that he would help his younger brother, Chu Tianjiao. He only promised that as long as he was alive, the bloodline of the Royal Clan would survive.
Chu Tianjiao naturally understood as well.
The Sovereign King turned his gaze away and slowly closed his eyes. His breathing gradually weakened …
Very swiftly, the sound of the Emperor's death resounded throughout the entire Chu Country. Outside the Royal Palace, countless nobles of Chu entered. They had been waiting outside the Royal Palace for a long time. The Emperor who once shook the heavens and earth had finally closed his eyes forever. The Chu Country would soon become the world of the younger generation.
Naturally, there would be someone to take care of the Emperor's funeral.
At the highest peak of the Royal Palace, Chu Wuwei and Chu Tianjiao stood together, gazing down at the majestic Royal Palace.
Behind them, there was another person. This person was none other than Chu Tianjiao's personal guard, a peak-level Yuanfu expert. Although Chu Tianjiao's name wasn't that famous in Chu, Chu Tianjiao knew very well how powerful Chu Tianjiao was. In the entire Royal Clan, there were only a few people who could be compared to him.
"Elder brother, I'm about to succeed the throne." After a long period of silence, Chu Tianjiao finally spoke.
Chu Wuwei lightly nodded his head, only to hear Chu Tianjiao continuing, "Father always wants me to consult you. Elder brother, what do you think I should do after I succeed the throne?"
"Today, the Chu Country is already in a precarious situation. There's a possibility that we might be consigned to eternal damnation at any moment." Chu Wuwei calmly stated, "Don't fight with the Qin Clan anymore. Vindicate Qin Wu, grant Qin Wu the position of the Martial King, and allocate a few cities to the Qin Clan. At the same time, don't hunt down the students of the Emperor Star Academy. It's enough for the Nine Mystical Palace to see, but don't push things too far.
"Elder brother, aren't you underestimating the power of the Royal Clan? The Qin Clan started a rebellion, and the Royal Clan admitted their mistakes. What does this mean? Isn't this the same as slapping our own faces? The Emperor Star Academy is already like fire and water with our Chu Country, how can we coexist? The best way is to exterminate them all. As for those who managed to escape, they might grow stronger, but don't tell me that our Royal Academy and our Royal Clan won't grow stronger? "
Chu Tianjiao gazed at the distant lands, his calm voice not concealing his wild ambitions.
"Is that so? Let's not talk about the others. If Qin Wentian from the Emperor Star Academy breaks through to the Heavenly Dipper Realm before you, with the current strength of the Royal Clan, how can you protect yourselves?" Chu Wuwei calmly asked.
"That's why he has to die." Chu Tianjiao's voice contained a strong determination.
"If he has already left, why do you want him to die?" Chu Wuwei asked.
"When Qiu Mo was captured, he had already pledged his allegiance to us. He said that he would be able to find Mustang. With Mustang here, with Qin Wentian's personality, how could he not come?" Chu Tianjiao slowly shifted his gaze onto Chu Wuwei.
Chu Wuwei similarly stared at Chu Tianjiao. Shaking his head, he turned and departed, leaving behind a message, "If you cause the Chu Clan to fall into danger, I will replace you."
"Audacious!" The person behind Chu Tianjiao roared in rage, as a tyrannical aura gushed forth, enveloping Chu Wuwei.
"IMPUDENT!" Chu Tianjiao turned his head and berated his protector, "That's my elder brother."
"Yes." That protector nodded his head, as his aura dissipated. After which, Chu Wuwei once again departed the area. Chu Tianjiao's eyes flashed with a terrifying sharpness as he murmured in his heart, "Although father never said it out loud, he always felt that I'm inferior to you in all aspects other than strength. I will prove it to you."
… …
In one of the courtyards of the Royal Clan of Chu, the Mo Clan, Mustang, Luo Huan and Fan Le were all present.
Before Diyi was captured, they had no way of leaving the Royal Capital. Mo Qingcheng had informed Old Gu and arranged for them to stay here.
"Someone's coming." Mustang, who was seated in a pavilion, abruptly opened his eyes. Was there still no way to escape after all?
"Luo Huan, Fan Le, go to the lake," Mustang suddenly commanded.
"If I'm not here, they might suspect something. Fatty, go to the lake, there's still time." Luo Huan knew that her teacher's senses were extremely strong, and they shouldn't have been discovered yet.
Fan Le's eyes flickered, his countenance extremely unsightly to behold. After which, he heavily nodded his head, "Teacher, Sister Luo Huan, be careful. I will think of a way to save you."
After speaking, Fan Le dived into the depths of the lake. Only by doing so would he be able to conceal his aura.
Indeed, not long after, the courtyard was surrounded. When Mustang and Luo Huan saw a silhouette in front of them, their eyes turned incomparably cold.
"Qiu Mo, you traitor." Mustang coldly spat. "A wise man submits to circumstances.
Luckily, it wasn't difficult to find all of Mo Qingcheng's residences. After searching through them one by one, I finally found her. Most probably, Qin Wentian has also been hidden by her. "Qiu Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.
Mo Qingcheng, the most perfect woman in Chu, was willing to risk her life for the sake of Qin Wentian. Normally, she would ignore him, one of the ten prodigies of the Royal Capital.
"Qiu Mo, have you forgotten about Ye WuQue's ending?" Luo Huan stared Cold at Qiu Mo.
"Hehe." Qiu Mo's countenance turned frosty. He knew that Qin Wentian's strength had already surpassed him, and this caused him to be filled with jealousy.
"Luo Huan, although she isn't as beautiful as Mo Qingcheng, she can still be considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. Look at that sexy figure of hers, hehe." Qiu Mo didn't conceal the greed in his eyes as he swept his gaze over Luo Huan's body. Luo Huan's countenance turned extremely unsightly.
"I will get the 3rd Prince, no, his Majesty, to bestow you to me." Qiu Mo didn't conceal his true nature. Even if he couldn't obtain Mo Qingcheng, it was still a wonderful thing to obtain Luo Huan's body.
"I really want to see how long the Emperor's authority can last." Mustang's voice was ice-cold. Currently, the leaders of the Emperor Star Academy should have already met up with those from the Qin Clan.
The news of Mustang and Luo Huan being captured quickly circulated around the Royal Capital. This was undoubtedly the Royal Clan's own doing. They wanted Qin Wentian to appear.
Chu Tianjiao had already viewed Qin Wentian as a huge threat. Such a character would definitely break through to Heavenly Dipper in the future. He had to die.
And at the same time when Mustang and Luo Huan were captured, news circulated from the frontlines. The Qin Clan had formed a few elite troops, and they were invincible as they rapidly advanced towards the Royal Capital. There were rumors that these elite troops were the elites of all the troops under the Qin Clan's control. Not only that, there were also many experts from the Emperor Star Academy, including the vice-headmaster of the Emperor Star Academy. These people were all terrifying characters that could easily take the head of an enemy general. Naturally, the troops of the Royal Clan had no way to defend against them.
Naturally, other than the experts from the Emperor Star Academy, in this war between the Qin Clan and the Royal Clan, the Qin Clan's troops had also displayed an astonishing level of strength. There were even many powerful Yuanfu cultivators among them. This was especially so for the elite troops that were currently advancing towards the Royal Clan. This caused people to faintly feel that the strength of the Qin Clan in the Sky Harmony City was only a small portion of their total strength!
Maybe, the all-powerful troops that followed Qin Wu all those years ago had never truly disappeared. Not only that, they had even nurtured many descendants.
All of these undoubtedly indicated that the Royal Capital of Chu was about to welcome a violent storm. This storm was even more intense compared to the one between the Royal Clan and the Emperor Star Academy. Because this time around, other than the Emperor Star Academy, the strength of the Qin Clan was also starting to erupt.
And just as this storm was brewing, the young man who was determined to take revenge stepped on a demonic beast whose eyes flickered with a golden light as he exited the Dark Forest and entered the Royal Capital.
