"Go!"
The Ninth Prince Wang Yan left Black Wind Ridge with Xiao Chen and the many guests, heading for the core region of the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
At the same time, all the princes were getting ready to leave, and they were making their final preparations.
After slaughtering ferocious beasts for thirty days, the Fourth Prince Wang Yun appeared very excited. He actually managed to pass the first round.
The strength of the Ninth Prince's guests ranked below average among the many princes. On the surface, they were much weaker than the Ninth Prince Wang Yan.
"Mister Yuan, thank you very much," Wang Yun said as he looked at the hooded Yuan Zhen.
"You're welcome."
A hoarse voice came from Yuan Zhen's mouth as he said calmly, "This is very normal. As long as the other princes fight for the inheritance, they will definitely suffer losses. With great opportunities came great risks. We slaughtered the beasts from the very beginning. As long as he can persevere until the end, he will definitely pass the first round. Your Highness, you don't have to be too surprised. "
This guy …
The Fourth Prince's guests all felt that Yuan Zhen was overly calm. They were dissatisfied with the faint pride that came from Yuan Zhen's head as he spoke.
However, Wang Yun did not care what these people thought. He asked, "Mister Yuan, are we still going to compete in the second round? I feel that our chances are not high. However, I am rather happy to be able to clear the first round. After we leave the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb, I will properly thank everyone. "
If Xiao Chen could survive the first round and leave the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb, he would definitely be conferred a higher noble title than the princes who left early.
He had never dared to dream of such benefits in the past.
"Thank you, Prince."
The guest cupped his fists and expressed his thanks. To be honest, although they didn't find any inheritance in the first round, they killed many beasts.
All of them possessed Dragon Essence, and their entire bodies were treasures.
After slaughtering for thirty days, the accumulated materials of these vicious beasts would also be a huge fortune.
Furthermore, the rewards promised by the Fourth Prince made this trip worthwhile.
Only Yuan Zhen smiled coldly and said, "Why not? In this round, our chances are limitless. If we had to be careful in the first round, then we would have to be careful. In that case, there was no need to worry about the second round. Just wait, it wouldn't take long. There will be other princes looking for His Highness to discuss the matter of cooperation. "
"Why?" Wang Yun asked doubtfully, a confused expression on his face.
Yuan Zhen explained, "In the first round, many of the other princes' guests suffered losses. Some of the princes who were neither strong nor weak but were full of ambition would definitely pull other princes to help them. Promise them a bunch of benefits first, and then kick them away after the deed is done. "
"Fourth Prince, not a single one of your hanger-ons is missing. Furthermore, you are famous for being weak. Everyone felt that they could control him, not fearing that he would cause any trouble. I don't believe that you're still not in high demand after all this! "
The moment Yuan Zhen said that, the Fourth Prince's expression turned slightly unsightly. He did not really believe Yuan Zhen's explanation.
Suddenly, Wang Yun revealed a strange expression. He looked at Yuan Zhen in disbelief. "Earlier, the Third Prince, the Eighteenth Prince, and the Seventeenth Prince all sent me a voice projection. They asked me to join their teams and promised me some benefits. They were very sincere. "
"Hahahaha …"
Under the hood, Yuan Zhen guffawed a few times. Then, he said after some thought, "Follow whoever promises you the most benefits. Such people are usually the most unreliable. Just agree to him for now. When he thinks that he has you under control, give him a fatal blow and kick him away.
"These people all think that you are a pushover. However, in reality, you are not weak at all. Killing ferocious beasts in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb is actually the most stable way to raise your strength. Under such spatial pressure, the more you fight, the more you will adapt to the spatial pressure, and the stronger your combat prowess will be. "
The eyes of the Fourth Prince's other guests immediately lit up. They could not help viewing Yuan Zhen in a different light.
Wang Yun appeared somewhat depressed, his expression changing unpredictably. After some thought, he said, "Alright, I'll listen to Mister Yuan. Since they all want to use me as a stepping stone, there is no need for me to be polite with them. I'll do it! "
Under the hood, Yuan Zhen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile that no one else could see.
Eight mysterious altars guarded the core region of the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
The altars were several hundred meters tall, looking like small hills. Ancient talisman scripts covered the altars. The Yan Emperor Holy Flame burned endlessly in the center of the altars, waiting for the chosen one to arrive.
However, it would not be easy to charge up the altars. Colossal lava beasts guarded the altars' surroundings.
To obtain the right to use the altars, one had to defeat the colossal lava beasts.
The strongest person, the First Prince, had arrived long ago and was currently fighting the colossal lava beasts.
The flames on the altar burned fiercely, and from time to time, giant lava beasts would jump out of it. It looked like there was no end to them.
The First Prince stood at the back, showing a calm expression as he watched his guests block these colossal lava beasts with the strength of a Sovereign Emperor.
If one looked carefully, one would discover that the First Prince's guests were not using their full power.
They only casually dealt with these colossal lava beasts, showing no intention of killing them.
"Your Highness, that should be enough."
Zuo Yu, the imperial guard commander beside Wang Fei, said as he looked at the nearly five hundred colossal lava beasts.
In reality, as long as one did not kill the colossal lava beasts that jumped down from the altars, one could use them when one ascended the altars.
These colossal lava beasts could help one guard the altars and block the ferocious beast waves.
If one ascended the altars early, one would not be able to use many colossal lava beasts.
Of course, only the princes with stronger accumulations could afford to use this move. The other princes would not dare to release so many colossal lava beasts.
Wang Yan's expression did not change. He looked at the black-clad masked man not far away and asked softly, "Lord Xi, what do you think?"
Xi smiled faintly and replied, "I can add another hundred. Any more and I will not be able to do it."
Just at this moment:
The Eighth Prince Wang Feng led Dao Yan's group to the core region of the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb.
Wang Feng looked around and saw the First Prince's group fighting the colossal lava beasts.
"First Brother is really fast."
Dao Yan withdrew his gaze, and a disdainful look flashed in his eyes. He said, "Your Highness, this might be an opportunity. I see that there are only two guards by the First Prince's side. The other guests are fighting the colossal lava beasts and will not be able to free themselves for a while. If you are determined to die, you can use this opportunity to kill the First Prince with a lightning-quick strike, eliminating your greatest threat. "
It had to be said that this was a crazy plan.
Once he succeeded, the First Prince would be killed by him in the second round. This was indeed a great opportunity.
But there were too many uncertainties, and the risks were huge.
Wang Feng's heart pounded heavily. After a long time, he finally suppressed this huge temptation. He said in a deep voice, "There is no need to take such a risk. Let's play it safe this round. There are still seven altars left. Just pick one."
When DaoXuan heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but he did not say anything.
"I'm afraid it's time to stop. Your Highness, please ascend the altar now."
Xi said softly with a slight frown.
Confused, Wang Fei asked, "Why?"
Zuo Yu glanced at the Eighth Prince's group and said after some thought, "Lord Xi is worried that the Eighth Prince will charge over and surround the three of us. At that time, if the other guests are entangled, they might not be able to intervene. I can't guarantee Wang Fei's safety. "
Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously as he looked at Zuo Yu. A look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Wang Fei pondered this for a while. That was indeed the case. The black-clad man and Zuo Yu would definitely be able to protect themselves against an encirclement. However, it was hard to say for himself.
"Onto the altar."
"Whoosh!"
Wang Fei soared into the air and flew past the many colossal lava beasts, heading for the altar. Colossal lava beasts continuously leaped up to block him.
The Black Lotus Holy Son, the Azure Lotus Holy Daughter, the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows, and the other guests all blocked Wang Fei's path.
Just as Wang Fei was about to ascend the altar, he drew his Yan Imperial Sword. A dazzling sword light appeared, looking resplendent and dazzling.
The sacred flame burned relentlessly, releasing a heatwave that illuminated Wang Fei's entire face, making him look flushed and somewhat crazed.
The crown prince position belongs to me!
Wang Fei shouted ferociously and stabbed the Yan Imperial Sword into the fierce flames.
A beam of holy light immediately burst out of the altar, piercing the clouds and the starry sky, forming a resplendent pillar of light.
A dragon image soared into the sky in the pillar of light, roaring in all directions.
The previously ferocious colossal lava beasts below the altar all lay down obediently after the dragon roared.
Xi, Zuo Yu, and the others stepped on the kneeling bodies of the colossal lava beasts and ascended the altar step by step.
In the distance, the various princes' expressions changed slightly when they saw the pillar of light. Their footsteps quickened significantly.
