"What's so strange about that? The Outer Prince brought more than a thousand people to Danqing, but only half of them returned. Moreover, many of them were injured. Something big must have happened.
Isn't it normal for the Outer Prince to want to go back and rest? "The Third Elder didn't think that there was anything wrong with the Outer Prince's actions.
"I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the Outer Prince's words. I just feel that the Outer Prince's behavior today is a little different from usual!" The Second Elder explained.
"Then tell me what's different?" The Third Elder asked.
"I can't say. I just feel that it's a little different, but I can't explain it clearly!" The Second Elder shook his head.
"Isn't it simple? Why don't we just find someone to ask? "The Fourth Elder asked someone to come over and ask a man beside the Outer King.
"Greetings, Elders!" The man bowed when he saw the Elders.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people injured and why haven't they returned? "The Fourth Elder didn't hesitate and asked directly.
"Elders, the Outer Prince has already said that he will invite you to the Outer Prince's Mansion to discuss this matter tomorrow. This subordinate dares not speak carelessly!" The man refused directly.
Originally, the Outer King had brought followers with him. However, those followers had died in the battle of the main peak of the Outer King. After all, followers were only there to serve the Outer King. Their strength was very average. In such a big battle, how could there be any survivors?
So many experts at the Crossing Tribulation Stage had died, not to mention the followers with ordinary strength.
Therefore, those who remained were Crossing Calamity Stage cultivators. Although these Crossing Calamity Stage cultivators weren't as high as the Principal Elders in the Outer Dynasty, they were definitely not ordinary people.
In particular, these people were the Outer Prince's subordinates. Naturally, they wouldn't be timid in front of the Principal Elders.
More importantly, the Young Master had already reminded them that if anyone asked, they should refuse in the name of the Outer Prince.
Therefore, even if the Principal Elders really forced them to say it, they absolutely wouldn't dare to speak carelessly.
"Tomorrow is tomorrow. Today, you said it's today!" The Fourth Elder said with some dissatisfaction.
No matter what, they were Principal Elders. Even though they were all at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, their statuses were still different.
Even if they were the Outer Monarch's people, their status was still higher than these Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators.
"Fourth Elder, don't force me. The Outer King has already ordered that he will discuss this matter with you personally. Even if I know, I can't tell you. You should wait until you see the Outer King tomorrow and ask him personally!" The man refused again. Moreover, he spoke in a righteous manner, completely unafraid of the Fourth Elder's threat.
"You …" The Fourth Elder was furious. Just as he was about to lash out, he was stopped by the First Elder.
"Alright, don't think too much about it. He's right. Since the King has spoken and will discuss this matter with us tomorrow, there's no need for us to make things difficult for him. Just bear with it for one night!" the First Elder said.
"Humph! Get lost! "The Fourth Elder glared at this guy, not being polite at all.
"Thank you, Elders!" The man did not get angry. Instead, he cupped his hands and left.
"The Outer King's people are really getting more and more arrogant. They don't put us, the Principal Elders, in their eyes at all." The Fourth Elder was still very unhappy as he looked at the cultivator's back.
"Why do you have to be angry with such a person? No matter what, he is still the Outer King's people. How can he not be arrogant?
Besides, the Outer King has already said that he will discuss this matter with us tomorrow. Why are you so stubborn? "The Third Elder said with a smile.
"It's all because the Second Elder said that the Outer King is a little strange, so I want to find some clues from these people!" The Fourth Elder said impatiently.
"Haha, so it's my fault? I only said that it's a little strange, but I didn't say that there's anything suspicious about the Outer King. What does it have to do with me?
If you really have any dissatisfaction with the Outer King, you can just tell him tomorrow! "The Second Elder said with a smile.
"Humph! You guys are completely clear about it. What does it have to do with me whether or not he has any problems? In any case, even if the Outer King is gone, it won't be my turn to take the Outer King's position. What do I have to worry about? "The Fourth Elder said disdainfully.
"Old Four, you can't say these words carelessly. If the Outer King hears about it, don't get yourself into trouble!" The Great Elder said with a straight face.
"What's there to be afraid of? Although the Outer King is stronger than us, he can't do anything to us.
If he really dares to harm us, once the Outer King starts fighting amongst himself, no one will gain any advantage. Instead, the Outer King's strength will be weakened for nothing. When that time comes, will he still be able to raise his head in front of the other Outer Kings? "The Fourth Elder said indifferently.
"The weakening of the Outer King is also not good for us. There's no need for us to let the other Outer Kings benefit for nothing," the Great Elder said.
"That's not necessarily true. If one of us can sit on the Outer King's position, the benefits won't be small. At least half of the resources go into the Outer King's pocket every year. How much will we get?" The Fourth Elder said.
"So what? Some things shouldn't be coveted, and it's best not to covet them. Otherwise, it won't bring us any benefits! "The Second Elder reminded.
"I don't think so. If I become the Outer King, I won't be so greedy. With so many resources every year, everyone can share them equally!" The Fourth Elder said.
"You really dare to say anything, but do you think it's that easy to pull the Outer King down from his position?" The Third Elder gave the Fourth Elder a thumbs up. It was obvious that the Fourth Elder was trying to seize power!
"That's not necessarily true. The Outer King rushed back to his residence to rest. Who knows if he was seriously injured outside?
There were more than 1,500 people, but only half of them came back. Moreover, more than 80% of them were injured, and more than 50% were seriously injured. I don't believe that nothing major happened.
So many people were injured. What kind of enemy did they encounter? Under such circumstances, what are the chances of the Outer King not being injured? "The Fourth Elder analyzed.
"Even if the Outer King was injured, so what? Do you really want to kill the Outer King and establish yourself as the Outer King? "the Great Elder said.
"That depends on whether the Elders are willing to cooperate. If you are willing, the Outer King of Linhai will belong to all of us. We won't monopolize it!" The Fourth Elder tempted everyone.
