Weng Haoxuan's obsession with the throne had already reached the point of insanity.
Even if he had to take a huge risk, he had to give it a try.
The Crown Prince of the Great Chu had already been decided. It was Weng Haorui.
Since Weng Haorui had the support of the Imperial Preceptor, no matter how big of a mistake he made, it was impossible for him to be crippled, so Weng Haoxuan had no hope at all.
Now that a lawless Heaven Luo City Lord had suddenly appeared, Weng Haoxuan seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.
For this slight chance, he was willing to bet everything!
He just didn't know how Nie Tian was going to help him ascend the throne.
Nie Tian smiled indifferently. In the next moment, a wisp of gloomy killing intent appeared on his face, and he said coldly, "I'll help you kill him!"
"Kill who?" Weng Haoxuan's body trembled, his expression tensed, and his heart jumped to his throat.
Killing intent flashed in Nie Tian's eyes as he replied, "Kill the person who obstructed your ascension to the throne, Crown Prince Weng Haorui."
Weng Haorui. When Nie Tian said this name, Weng Haoxuan's face stiffened. In the next moment, he was unable to conceal his joy.
In his heart, he knew that Weng Haorui was the biggest obstacle on his path to the throne. As long as this stumbling block was removed, the throne would naturally be his.
The other princes simply did not have the strength to compete with Weng Haoxuan.
So long as Weng Haorui died, the crown prince of the Darchu Dynasty would definitely belong to him, Weng Haoxuan!
When Nie Tian said these words, Gu Wuyou and the rest were also stunned.
Gu Wuyou initially thought that Nie Tian would reveal the fact that Weng Haorui might be from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion. She never expected that Nie Tian would actually promise Weng Haoxuan that he would kill Weng Haorui.
With Nie Tian's strength, he indeed had a chance to kill Weng Haorui. But whether he would do it or not was another matter.
After half a minute, Weng Haoxuan calmed down, but he was still worried. He suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "City Lord Nie Tian, how can This King trust you?"
Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "You already believe me."
Weng Haoxuan was still far from being able to scheme in front of Nie Tian.
Right now, Weng Haoxuan's heart must be filled with ten thousand little rabbits. of course.
Although he was doubtful, he had long since believed Nie Tian's words.
Nie Tian had the strength and motive to kill Weng Haorui.
Nie Tian and Weng Haorui were like fire and water, and wouldn't rest until one of them was dead.
He was thinking that Weng Haoxuan was also a fool.
What he was thinking was that Weng Haoxuan was also a fool.
Actually, the person blocking Weng Haoxuan's throne was not Weng Haorui, but the Imperial Preceptor behind him.
Gu Wuyou had made it very clear that without the support of the State Preceptor, Weng Haorui would have been crippled.

Nie Tian didn't know what this King of Chen wanted to do.
Maybe when he saw the King of Chen, he would be able to see.
Nie Tian didn't have any good impression of Weng Haoxuan. Even if the latter became Crown Prince or Emperor, the best outcome would be to become an iron-blooded monarch. He was absolutely not a wise ruler.
Since they were all using each other, he would just give you an empty promise.
To the people around him, Nie Tian was a man of his word. But to others, it was a different story.
Nie Tian never thought of himself as a good person. He was just a bad person who liked to beat up bad people.
"Good!" Weng Haoxuan finally couldn't suppress the agitation in his heart. He laughed and said, "City Lord Nie Tian, this King will help you!"
"King Xuan is so bold." Nie Tian smiled faintly. His eyes were complicated and gloomy.
Between him and Weng Haoxuan, it was a scheme of tigers and wolves, each taking what he needed.
"King Xuan, when are we going to see His Majesty?" Nie Tian asked after taking a sip of tea.
"City Lord Nie Tian, don't be anxious. If you enter the palace, you will need someone to accompany you. " Weng Haoxuan stood up with a melancholy expression. He said, "The palace today is not peaceful. If there is no expert accompanying me, even this King won't dare to enter the palace casually."
"Oh?" Nie Tian was slightly stunned. He smiled and said, "Could it be that someone dares to make a move against His Highness King Xuan in the palace?"
Weng Haoxuan sighed and didn't answer Nie Tian's question. Instead, he said, "City Lord Nie Tian, please wait patiently for a day. Tomorrow, this King will bring you into the palace to see His Majesty."
Actually, Weng Haoxuan was a little confused. Why did Nie Tian want to see the Emperor? This had nothing to do with killing Weng Haorui.
But since Nie Tian didn't say, he didn't ask.
"Alright." Nie Tian wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he immediately agreed.
Next, Weng Haoxuan ordered people to arrange a small courtyard for Nie Tian and the others to stay in the Xuan King's residence for a day.
After arriving at the small courtyard, Gu Wuyou immediately bade farewell and left the Xuan King's residence. After all, she was the commander of the imperial guards and couldn't stay in the Xuan King's residence for too long.
"Goudan, what do you think of General Gu's strength?" Nie Tian looked at Gu Wuyou's back and suddenly asked.
When Goudan heard Nie Tian's question, he subconsciously touched the bloodstain on his face and nodded.
Goudan had just fought with Gu Wuyou not long ago and was even slapped by her long whip.
"Wuyou's strength is above mine," Duanmu Lu said seriously.
"Wuyou?" Nie Tian glanced at Duanmu Lu and said with a smile, "It seems like the two of you are progressing smoothly."
Gu Wuyou called Duanmu Lu Duanmu Mutou, and Duanmu Lu directly called Wuyou. The speed at which their relationship warmed was beyond Nie Tian's expectations.
Duanmu Lu's cheeks turned red, and the redness reached his neck.
Nie Tian put away his joking mood, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. He said, "Gu Wuyou is indeed strong, but compared to a True Element Realm martial artist, she's still a little lacking."
"Of course. Even if she's at the ninth level of the Giant Soul Realm, she doesn't have True Essence Qi in her body. How can she fight against a True Element Realm martial artist?" Goudan said arrogantly.
Nie Tian nodded and frowned. He said, "The Great Chu Empire is a first-rate empire. A mere Xuan King has subordinates at the first level of the True Essence Realm. Gu Wuyou is only at the ninth level of the Giant Soul Realm, but she can actually become the commander of the imperial guards. Isn't that strange?"
"Huh?" Goudan and Duanmu Lu were stunned at the same time, and then they immediately nodded.
Gu Wuyou was previously a general on the battlefield. This position didn't have high requirements for personal strength. The key was the ability to command the battlefield and grasp of the situation. Therefore, even if she was young and not strong, she could still become a general.
However, the commander of the imperial guards was different. This was the guard that protected the imperial city, so of course, it had to be a strong person.
Nie Tian estimated that Gu Wuyou's subordinates were stronger than her.
Gu Wuyou was transferred to the imperial city as a commander a year ago. At that time, the person in control of the imperial city should be the Imperial Tutor, not the emperor who retired to the palace.
Thinking about how Gu Wuyou's parents died in the hands of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion assassins, Nie Tian seemed to smell the faint scent of a conspiracy.
If Weng Haorui was from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion, then the Imperial Tutor who supported him must be related to the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion.
No matter how he looked at it, Gu Wuyou's position as the commander of the imperial guards seemed like a method to trap her in the imperial city.
