(I'm afraid that everyone can't wait for the second chapter, so I'll pass on a chapter of 3000 words first. There are still 7000 words left!)
Chapter 338: Arrogant and Domineering
For Whom Do They Serve?
Behind every prince stood a group of people from the royal family.
This group of people had placed all their hopes on this prince, because as long as this prince inherited the throne in the future, they would naturally follow him to the top. In every dynasty, there would be a struggle for imperial power. Princes would kill each other, and it would often involve a large number of forces. It was extremely cruel and bloody.
At the same time, behind the First Prince stood a group of core members of the Imperial Family. Not only were these people very powerful, each of them had an extremely deep foundation, and ordinary people would not be able to shake them. Moreover, the First Prince was someone that even the Imperial Lord, the Old Emperor, the Old Emperor, and the other important figures of the Imperial Family valued. Although they did not express their stance, their attitudes were enough to give some clues.
The First Prince, Cheng Yin, was ruthless and ambitious, which was directly proportional to his intelligence!
Cheng Yong's Big Dipper Army quelled all sorts of rebellions in the Northern Dynasty, capturing spies of the Demon Race and Demon Race one by one. His efforts in quelling the rebellions were obvious to all.
The Beizhou Dynasty was too large. Because of the weather in the Northern Province, it was covered in snow all year round, and a large area of land was abandoned.
The Beizhou Dynasty occupied an area of 56 million square kilometers. It was incomparably vast, and there were huge gaps between the various provinces and cities. It was not difficult for the elites of the Demon Race and Monster Race to infiltrate the Beizhou Dynasty. Moreover, they were like a bone attached to the chopping block, and it was extremely difficult to get rid of them. Everyone in the Beizhou Dynasty knew that this was always a big problem, like a fishbone stuck in their throats.
Thus, Cheng Yin came up with a plan to assassinate Shi Guang. This plan had gained the approval of the Royal Family, but not the approval of the officials.
The Three Chancellors had always wanted to govern the world with culture. Although they knew that the Demon Race and Monster Race were invading the Beizhou Dynasty, they hoped to use their ability to govern the world so that the Demon Race could not start a war, or even assimilate the human race. However, this was a fantasy for Cheng Yin and the countless people in the Beizhou Dynasty, so they adopted the plan to provoke the Demon Race!
That was to assassinate Shi Yan. The effect was obvious. Almost all the spies that the Beizhou Dynasty had painstakingly arranged jumped out and cooperated with the attack of the Demon Race. They jumped out and killed all the spies. However, the side effect was also extremely obvious. The people of the Beizhou Dynasty and countless soldiers paid a heavy price, and suffered heavy losses!
Even so, the royal family of the Beizhou Dynasty still insisted on supporting Cheng Yin. However, the reaction of the civil and military officials was too strong. Although they tried their best to protect Cheng Yin, they could not avoid being imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court.
First, he was imprisoned for three years. Then, the Emperor of Mount Tai attacked, forcing Cheng Yin to be imprisoned for another three years. This made many members of the royal family who supported Cheng Yin restless. This was because the other members of the royal family were already ready to make a move. Originally, Cheng Yin was extremely powerful, and all the princes who could compete with him supported him, such as Cheng Yang and Cheng Xu. The others gradually began to give up.
But now, as long as Cheng Yin was crippled, Cheng Yang and Cheng Xu would not be interested in the position of the Overlord, and others would have a chance to take advantage of it.
For example, there was a prince supported by the Virtuous King the Eighth. Although his strength was below Cheng Yin, Cheng Yang, and Cheng Xu, he was more intelligent than others. He was able to conceal his strength and wait for the right moment to strike. Although he was not dazzling, he had always been concealing his strength and biding his time. He was supported by the Virtuous King the Eighth and many other powerful royal uncles!
These royal uncles who stood behind the Eldest Prince of the Northern Province began to discuss in the dark.
"Who do you think this young man of the Ji Family is? Why does he want to make life difficult for the Cheng Family Stone Square?"
"I don't know. Maybe the Virtuous Lord the Eighth is the main actor. The Virtuous Lord is extremely cunning and hides a dagger in his smile. He always kills people with a soft knife. I don't know what he is thinking. He has been supporting that trash, Cheng Che, and has never given up. It's really hard for him. Cheng Che doesn't dare to do anything now. He still doesn't realize that he has chosen the wrong person."
"I have asked the 14th Prince to go to Tianji and find Hyacinth to calculate. We will know the background of this young man of the Ji Family soon."
"A wandering rogue cultivator? Humph, could it be that we are three years old children? I wonder which leader of the Ji Family this young man is! "
"Third Brother, I found out who this young man of the Ji Family is!"
"Tell us, 14th Prince, who is this young man of the Ji Family?"
"No, he is not!"
"What do you mean?"
"He is not a member of the Ji Family, nor is he from the Central Province!"
"What? How is that possible? Who is he?"
"He is Xuanyuan, the number one on the List of Imperial Fighters in the Eastern Province! Ji Yuan! Xuanyuan! A pig-headed, dog-bodied mount was following him, but it left halfway. Mr. Xuanji told us not to act rashly. Xuanyuan has the protection of the Nightmare Ghost! "
"Hiss …" The hidden members of the Imperial House could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They did not expect it to be Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan's performance in the Eastern Province had them all cheering. Now, they did not expect Xuanyuan to come to the Beizhou Dynasty with the Nightmare Ghost by his side. This was too terrifying! Who would dare to pull a tooth from the tiger's mouth?
"No wonder, I understand now! Cheng Yin made use of him to lure Shiguan out. Now he's here for revenge! " Many people's hearts were as clear as a mirror. Their hearts were burning with anger, but there was nothing they could do. The name of the Nightmare Ghost was too shocking.
The news spread like wildfire.
The young man of the Ji Family in the Central Province had never been called Ji Yuan. Everyone sent someone to the 'Heavenly Secret' to calculate which young master of the Ji Family it was. However, everyone received a surprising and unanimous answer: the real identity of Xuanyuan.
Just as Xuanyuan was about to cut open the Clumsy Stone, he suddenly felt the atmosphere change.
The 'Black Tortoise Saint' had obviously received the news as well. He laughed heartily.
"I was wondering who it was. What young man of the Ji Family? It turns out to be Xuanyuan from the 'Sengoku' of the Eastern Province. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the hero of the Eastern Province to hide his identity."
Originally, this matter was only known by some of the higher-ups, because not everyone could ask the Heavenly Secret. Xuanyuan did not expect the 'Black Tortoise Saint' to reveal his identity in front of so many people. His sinister intentions were obvious.
Xuanyuan naturally knew the reason why his identity was revealed. With the organization 'Heavenly Secret', it would be difficult for him to hide. Even the Devouring Emperor had been divined, let alone himself.
Xuanyuan looked at the 'Black Tortoise Saint' and smiled faintly.
"'Black Tortoise Saint', I know you're rich. I heard that the 'Heavenly Secret's' divination costs at least 50 billion Dou Wang coins, right? I'm really sorry for making you spend so much just to find out who I am."
Hearing Xuanyuan's admission, Cheng Yang, who was standing beside Yin Zhenluo, had a fiery look in his eyes. He looked at Xuanyuan. He knew that Yin Zhenluo was doing this for him. In the past, he had only heard of Xuanyuan's name, but had never seen Xuanyuan in person. Now that he had seen him, he was indeed extraordinary. Cheng Yang praised in his heart.
"What courage!"
Xuanyuan's excellence was obvious to all. Even Cheng Xu could not help but exclaim. He had traveled around the Eastern Province before, and Xuanyuan's name was well-known. Among the younger generation, no one could compare to him. In fact, he was even more famous than the 'Eastern Province Godly Physique'!
The 'Black Tortoise Saint' laughed coldly.
"Hmph, an outstanding talent of the Eastern Province. Hiding your identity and sneaking into the Northern Province. Are you up to no good?" The 'Black Tortoise Saint' began to accuse Xuanyuan one after another. When many people heard that the newcomer was Xuanyuan, they were all shocked. Complicated expressions flashed in their eyes.
Because Xuanyuan had a peerless immortal treasure, the 'Blue Dragon's inner core', the 'Blue Dragon's blood essence', and the unparalleled great immortal technique passed down to him by the ancient Blue Dragon!
Everyone was tempted. If they could get their hands on it, the benefits would be unimaginable!
"Fine." Xuanyuan put away the 'Demon Devouring Sword' in his hand and looked at Yin Zhenluo. He said slowly, "Beautiful Master, I heard that you want to find a way to expel the 'Heart-Devouring Bug' and work with the Second Prince of the Beizhou Dynasty, Cheng Yang. I just want to tell you that my fate is up to me. I don't need anyone else to do anything for me. Senior Nightmare Ghost is going to accompany me throughout the Dou Qi World to find a way to expel the 'Heart-Devouring Bug.' You don't have to worry."
Yin Zhenluo's heart sank. Did Xuanyuan come to the Beizhou Dynasty just to say this to her? Hearing Xuanyuan's words, Yin Zhenluo's expression dimmed.
"He really hasn't changed. He definitely doesn't want to owe anyone favors. He wants to bear everything alone …"
Yin Zhenluo was speechless. She could only remain silent.
"Well, I've said what I need to say. Now, let's talk about the grudge between me and the First Prince, Cheng Yang. He wants the war between the Devil Race and the Beizhou Dynasty. I have no problem with that, but he shouldn't have used my name to say that he has a way to expel the 'Heart-Devouring Bug.' He took advantage of Shi Yan's concern for me to deceive Shi Yan and hurt the kind-hearted Shi Yan, who has always hoped that the two races could coexist peacefully. Such behavior is unforgivable. To tell you the truth, I'm here to make trouble today. I'll make this Cheng Yang Stone Workshop go bankrupt!" Xuanyuan laughed and said directly, causing an uproar among the people present.
"Boy, don't be so insolent!" An imperial uncle couldn't stand Xuanyuan's arrogance and shouted.
"I'm insolent. What can you do about it? You're a guest. Unless your Cheng Yang Stone Workshop ruins its own signboard today, I'll consider leaving. Otherwise, I'll gamble until I'm not willing to gamble anymore! "Xuanyuan sneered.
The imperial uncle couldn't say a word. Lord Virtuous the Eighth narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like he was watching a show. If Xuanyuan could demolish the Cheng Yang Stone Workshop, it would be a great thing for him.
"Capture this little brat!" Suddenly, another Imperial Uncle-Level figure broke through the air and issued an order.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. A trace of sadness flashed across Yin Zhenluo's eyes.
"Who is the domineering hero for? Shi Yan?"
