In the Hidden Dragon Wonderland!
Seeing the twenty-four youths slowly walking out of the void, Qin Lingfei's face instantly paled.
These twenty-four youths came from the Li Clan, Zhao Clan, and Yan Clan of Xianyang City's Four Great Clans, as well as the direct descendants of the eight First Clans. They were also qualified to participate in the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Otherwise, they wouldn't have obtained the qualifications to enter the Hidden Dragon Realm.
It could be said that the clans behind these twenty-four youths, in addition to the four hereditary clans behind Shang Lin, controlled more than seventy percent of Emperor Qin's political and military power.
If these clans really planned to rebel, then Emperor Qin's Kingdom would definitely change dynasties overnight.
Even if Emperor Qin broke through to the realm of Revered Martial Artist, he would still be powerless to change this situation.
Feeling the drastic change in Qin Lingfei's mood, Yu Haoran knew what she was worried about. He quickly held her lily-white hand and comforted her.
"Ling Fei, don't worry. These people were only ordered by the mastermind behind the scenes. It has nothing to do with the clans behind them."
Speaking up to here, Yu Haoran looked at the twenty-four youths behind Shang Lin, his eyes revealing a trace of understanding.
"Moreover, I already guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes is."
"Emperor's son-in-law, I wonder if His Majesty still dares to use the Devil Dao's Soul Searching Secret Technique on us when facing us, the three great hereditary Royal Clans, the three great clans of Xianyang City, and the elite disciples of the eight great clans." Pointing at the twenty-four young men behind him, Shang Lin asked proudly.
"Shang Lin, I don't know how many benefits Qin Tianyi promised you to actually let you take the risk of your clans dismissing your direct descendants and being pushed to the Meridian Gate to be beheaded by His Majesty." Yu Haoran suddenly sneered and asked.
Because the First Prince Qin Tianze had been guarding the border for many years, and because of a woman who didn't have the heart to fight for the throne, the Third Prince Qin Tianyi had the highest chance of inheriting the throne. Therefore, there were many clans that secretly relied on him and were loyal to him.
After all, a new emperor would bring in new courtiers. Who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with the new emperor in advance so that they could have a meteoric rise in the future and their family's power would rise to a higher level?
However, Emperor Qin was in his prime and his power was at its peak. The Third Prince, Qin Tianyi, was too young. There was still a long time before he could inherit the throne.
In order to avoid causing Emperor Qin's suspicion, it was inconvenient for the aristocratic families in Xianyang City to come forward, so they sent their young children to make friends with Qin Tianyi.
In this way, not only could he establish a friendship with the future emperor, but he could also avoid Emperor Qin's suspicions.
And this was the main basis for Yu Haoran to deduce that the mastermind behind Shang Lin was Qin Tianyi through the twenty-four young people who had just appeared from the void.
A triumphant smile instantly appeared on Shang Lin's face. After a trace of panic quickly flashed in his eyes, Shang Lin denied it with a cold expression.
"Qin Tianyi, the original His Royal Highness the Third Prince has long been locked in the death row of the Imperial Clan Court. What does it have to do with us?"
"Shang Lin, your explanation and denial just now have fully proved my speculation. The person behind you is really Qin Tianyi who has not given up."
Although Shang Lin's denial was very calm, his accelerated heartbeat not only showed his guilty conscience, but also proved that his guess was correct.
"Third Brother, my dear Third Brother, my good Third Brother!"
Not only did he replace the dowry carefully prepared by her father and the Empress Dowager, but also made her lose face in front of many guests. He also directed Shang Lin and others to use the secret territory to get rid of her and the Prince Consort.
Qin Tianyi's various practices made Qin Lingfei gnash her teeth in hatred. In her heart, she also had a trace of killing intent for her own brother.
"Prince Consort, who you want to slander and suspect is your own business. It has nothing to do with me, Shang Lin, but."
In the face of Yu Haoran's solemn accusation, Shang Lin did not continue to refute.
This was because he knew that he was definitely not a match for Shang Lin in a verbal confrontation. He also knew that if he continued to argue, he would only expose more flaws. Therefore, he planned to complete the task given to him by the mastermind as soon as possible.
"Prince Consort, your little life is now in my hands. If I, Shang Lin, want you dead, even if you have great abilities, you can forget about escaping from my hands."
"Is that so?"
In the face of Shang Lin's confidence that everything was under his control, Yu Haoran sneered and invited him.
"Since that's the case, use whatever methods you have to your heart's content!"
"Let this prince consort take a good look and see how much weight you, Shang Lin, have to be able to say such arrogant and ignorant words."
In the face of Yu Haoran's invitation and provocation, Shang Lin's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light. He immediately mobilized all his strength and blew the horn.
As the horn let out the purest dragon roar, all the quasi-venerable beasts with the bloodline of the Divine Dragon kneeled on the ground.
At the same time, as the dragon roar from the horn became louder and louder, the range of the sound became wider and wider. Waves of terrifying and powerful aura began to erupt from the depths of the secret realm.
"This is the aura of a Venerable Realm beast with the bloodline of the Divine Dragon." Teng Yunjie reminded with a solemn expression when he sensed the terrifying aura that kept erupting from the depths of the secret realm.
However, what he couldn't figure out was that Yu Haoran didn't launch any counterattacks or defenses in the face of at least ten Exalt Realm beasts that were speeding over. He only looked at Shang Lin with a faint smile on his face.
Only two minutes later, as a gust of wind blew past, a lion dragon that was over 80 meters tall and at the peak of the first rank of the Venerable Realm quickly landed next to Shang Lin.
Another minute later, another blue-eyed stone-crystal python that was at the beginning of the third rank of the Venerable Realm slid behind Shang Lin like lightning.
In less than 30 seconds, a roaring dragon that was at the peak of the third rank of the Venerable Realm and a Gale Wolf King that was at the middle of the fourth rank of the Venerable Realm appeared behind Shang Lin.
Then, in less than three minutes, another eleven beasts between the first and fifth rank of the Venerable Realm appeared around Shang Lin.
"What do you think, Prince Consort? Do you like these little tricks?" Shang Lin said proudly as he pointed at the fifteen powerful beasts around him.
Yu Haoran shook his head and said with a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes.
"Shang Lin, during my wedding with Her Highness, I once defeated the Heavenly Sword Jianying, who was at the peak of the eighth rank of the Martial Venerable Realm, and the sword dragon that was at the beginning of the ninth rank of the Venerable Realm that was condensed from Sword Principle Fate."
"Just these fifteen Exalt Realm beasts by your side? Haha!"
At this point, Yu Haoran sneered disdainfully and didn't say anything else.
