The Late Emperor's Inheritance
"What? You dare to slap my face? You dare to make me kneel? Since young, I have never knelt to anyone except the Cloud Sea King and my teacher! " Wen Bingxian roared with rage. This Lin Ling was too overbearing. Making him kneel and even slapping his face was actually worse than killing him!
If he kneeled, what face would he have left in the Cloud Sea City? It would definitely be a huge joke!
"You don't have a choice now!" Lin Ling's expression turned even colder!
"A pitiful person must have a sad side. You think you can look down on everyone just because you have the Imperial Advisor's Residence behind you. A pity that you have found the wrong place to display your pride!" Duke Duan walked out. Beside him, Sovereign King Li walked out as well!
Both dukes made a move on Wen Bingxian!
Wen Bingxian's strength wasn't weak, and there weren't many people in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom who were stronger than him. However, the four dukes weren't among them. Thus, when the two of them made a move, how could Wen Bingxian resist?
Slap! Slap!
Slap! He was forced to kneel by the two dukes. Clear slapping sounds echoed, and Wen Bingxian kowtowed three times to everyone. The humiliation almost made Wen Bingxian want to commit suicide!
He came with arrogance, but he didn't expect the final outcome to be like this. It was extremely dramatic!
"Lin Ling, today's revenge will be heavily repaid in the future!" "Slap!"
After kowtowing three times, Wen Bingxian roared with rage.
Lin Ling sneered, "When we meet again in the future, it will be your life that will be taken. Get lost!" "Get lost!"
Wen Bingxian gritted his teeth and left the volcanic crater like a stray dog. Right now, outside the volcanic crater, there was a huge crowd. Some of them were from the outer city while some were from the inner city. This time, they were naturally here to watch the show!
They originally wanted to see Lin Ling being suppressed by an expert, but the result was the complete opposite!
Wen Bingxian, ranked 30th among the 108 General Stars. He was actually suppressed to the point of kowtowing three times and vomiting blood twice! "Slap!"
The informants from the various factions were all astonished and reported back to the inner city at the same time.
The people from the various major powers were shocked once again. That Lin Ling was so domineering that he didn't even give the Imperial Tutor's residence any face and made the Imperial Tutor's student, Wen Bingxian, lose face and run out of the Fire Ancient Clan like a stray dog!
Furthermore, Lin Ling seemed to be extremely courageous. Not only did he get the Second Prince to step in, he even got the two Dukes and the Three Great Pillars to support him!
At the mouth of the volcano, everyone was looking at Lin Ling, then they smiled.
"Lin Ling, you're now a banner of the Second Prince. Your reputation is actually greater than mine. Many forces have joined my camp because of you!"
Yun Yixuan said with a smile as he walked towards Lin Ling.
Right now, Lin Ling was considered to have made great contributions, but Yun Yixuan was different from the other princes. He was wholeheartedly devoted to the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and wasn't jealous. Furthermore, he knew that no matter how powerful Lin Ling was — as long as he could determine the ownership of the King of the Cloud Sea, he would definitely make himself the King of the Cloud Sea!
Lin Ling's goal wasn't just the Heaven Mystics Kingdom!
"Right now, our faction is getting stronger and stronger, and our reputation is getting bigger. We have formed a tripartite balance of power with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. In order to become the King of the Cloud Sea, apart from having formidable martial strength, we also need to have the support of the masses!"
Duan Duan walked over and said.
Having the support of the masses meant having the hearts of the people. Obtaining the hearts of the people meant obtaining the world!
In the tripartite balance of power, the three kingdoms were competing for resources. The various factions and experts were the resources and the hearts of the people!
Whoever had the most resources would have the hope of becoming the King of the Cloud Sea!
Right now, the Second Prince had plenty of resources and was only slightly weaker than the Crown Prince. However, he was on par with the Third Prince and might even have a higher reputation!
"The factions in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom are the reclusive aristocratic clans, the various city lords, the various generals, and the civil and military officials. If we can recruit them all into our faction, then the Second Prince will definitely become the King of the Cloud Sea!" Sovereign King Li said.
Lin Ling frowned and pondered for a moment. He then said, "Right now, most of the factions are just watching from the sidelines. Furthermore, it is rather difficult to recruit them. Why don't we recruit the various princes first? They might not have much influence, but they represent the Cloud Sea Empire!"
Once this statement was out, everyone's eyes lit up!
They had nearly forgotten about the various princes' factions. After all, they had treated the various princes' factions as opponents from the start. They didn't expect to pull them into the same faction!
"Incredible. I always thought that Lin Ling had exceptional talent. I didn't expect him to be so far-sighted!" Sovereign King Li praised. Many people nodded in agreement.
"Let me handle this. I should be able to persuade the twenty over princes. However, there is one that might be more difficult. It is the Fourteenth Prince. He has seven generals under him. All of them are at the Heavenly Spirit Realm and are extremely loyal. The Fourteenth Prince doesn't like power struggles and likes to play around. He was the most pampered child of the King of the Cloud Sea. He is probably the most difficult to recruit!" Duke Duan frowned.
"Fourteenth Brother, I have heard of him. It is because he likes to play around that the Late Emperor especially liked him. It is said that the Late Emperor even left behind some treasures for him!" "His Majesty the Second Prince also recalled.
"Late Emperor's treasures?" "Yes."
Lin Ling's eyes flickered slightly.
The Second Prince nodded and said, "All the major factions in the Cloud Sea City know about it. However, Fourteenth Brother has the Golden Medallion of Immunity. Hence, the Royal Advisor Residence, the Empress Dowager, and other major factions can't do anything about the Golden Medallion of Immunity!" "Yes."
"Furthermore, last year, I heard that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince also tried to get the treasures, but they all failed. Against Fourteenth Brother, they obviously can't use force to plunder!" "Yes."
Hearing this, Lin Ling's interest was piqued. Currently, his Flame Legion was still much weaker than the Cloud Sea City's forces. However, if he could get the Late Emperor's treasures, then everyone's strength would increase greatly!
Moreover, if he could subdue the Fourteenth Prince, then the Second Prince's forces would also increase greatly!
"Alright, let me deal with the Fourteenth Prince!" Lin Ling smiled. His words caused everyone's expression to change. They found it hard to believe. After all, if the Fourteenth Prince was easy to deal with, someone would have gotten the Late Emperor's treasures!
"The Fourteenth Prince has an eccentric personality. He likes to play around. He has played with all the toys in the world. Subduing him …" Yun Yixuan hesitated.
"It's just playing around. If I want to satisfy him, it won't be difficult!" Lin Ling smiled confidently.
"Haha, with General Lin taking action, you will definitely succeed!" Sovereign King Li had great faith in Lin Ling!
"This disciple of mine is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He is proficient in both literature and martial arts. It shouldn't be a problem for him!" He Yanshan also smiled. In his heart, this disciple of his was a perfect genius!
After he finished speaking, he added, "Disciple, when are you going to draw a painting for me? During this period of time, I have hired a large number of painters, but none of them are as good as you!"
"Haha!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed loudly!
The members of the Fire Ancient Clan were also laughing. They saw that Lin Ling was getting stronger and stronger. Now, he was already one of the top experts in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. This made them extremely proud!
