After listening to Pu Xiaoshu's father's explanation, Qin Xiao finally understood what had happened in the Pu Palace.
The situation was just as he had feared. The Pu Palace had lost Pu Hua Sage, and a hundred million years had passed. Many drastic changes had taken place.
Under these drastic changes, the Pu Palace was now in a mess. It was no longer the Pu Palace of the past.
If he gave the Divine Vitality Fruit to Pu Palace now, it would only be used by evil people, and it would speed up the decline of the Pu Palace.
The Pu Palace was now under the control of others. It had lost the prestige and power that it had when Pu Hua Sage was still around. Everything had changed.
Back then, King Pu had made great contributions and was greatly appreciated by King Pan. He was even regarded as a brother and was King Pan's right-hand man.
On the other hand, Pan King was a Second Step Ancient Sage. He was an invincible existence in the Pan Nation.
Not only within the borders of the Pan Kingdom, but even within the Pan County, he was definitely considered a powerful existence.
Therefore, the Pan Kingdom could be said to be very stable and prosperous now.
Once the kingdom was stable, it would definitely become prosperous.
However, once the country was stable, it would inevitably lead to internal strife.
As the saying goes, if there is no external strife, there will be internal strife. Most of the facts had proven this to be the truth.
King Pan had hundreds of sons. However, most of them did not do proper work. They only indulged in pleasure and did not cultivate well. They did not do much.
The most accomplished ones were King Pan's eldest son, Pan Su, and his ninth son, Pan Xi.
King Pan was now immersed in cultivation and Dao Seeking. He was not in the mood to deal with the imperial court. Therefore, he intended to appoint a Crown Prince. The Crown Prince would naturally be chosen from the eldest son, Pan Su, and the ninth son, Pan Xi.
Although the battle for the Crown Prince was not as exciting as the Nine Dragons Battle for the Crown Prince, it was still full of tension.
The imperial court was naturally divided into two factions. One faction supported the eldest son, Pan Su, while the other supported the ninth son, Pan Xi.
The battle between the two factions had also caused a lot of tension in the imperial court. The confrontation was extremely intense, and it was getting more and more intense.
King Pan did not seem to have the intention to mediate the matter. Instead, he turned a blind eye and watched the two princes, or rather, the two factions in the imperial court fighting openly and secretly. It was as if King Pan had tacitly agreed to use this method to select the Crown Prince.
The First Prince, Pan Su, was extremely ambitious. He was a sinister and cunning person who would do anything by fair means or foul. He was a person who was very good at winning over people's hearts and toying with powerful officials.
Therefore, many people in the Imperial Court were loyal to him and stood on his side.
As for the Ninth Prince Pan Xi, it was said that he was kind-hearted and kind. His talent and potential were publicly acknowledged to be superior to the First Prince Pan Su.
Moreover, it seemed that King Pan's favorite was the Ninth Prince, Pan Xi.
Pan Xi didn't have any ulterior motives and treated people sincerely. She was also very friendly and courteous. She was recognized as a good person and had won the hearts of many people.
In terms of reputation, the Ninth Prince Pan Xi definitely had a good reputation. Not only among the officials, but even among the commoners, Pan Xi's voice was the loudest.
To the commoners, they naturally hoped that there would be a famous ruler to rule the world. Only then would they have a good life.
Under the tide of the battle for the Crown Prince, the civil and military officials were obviously not very useful. The ones who were most useful were naturally the few elders who had established the Imperial Court. This was especially so for those who had made outstanding military achievements and held a large number of troops in their hands. They had great prestige in the Imperial Court.
The few Princes with different surnames.
When the Pan Kingdom was first established, King Pan had only conferred three Princes with different surnames.
Among them, the one with the highest prestige was Piao Hua Sage, King Piao. King Piao supported the Ninth Prince, Pan Xi. It was because of this that King Piao met with a mishap and died tragically in the Carefree Enchantment.
Naturally, many people guessed that it was the First Prince who had done this.
However, there was no evidence for this kind of thing and no one dared to say anything. Some of the people who were spouting nonsense were condemned and executed.
After the death of Piao Hua Sage, King Piao's residence had lost its backbone and power. Although it was a King's residence, it was actually dead in name.
Without an Ancient Sage, how could a King's residence have the prestige of a King's residence?
Moreover, after the death of Piao Hua Sage, there was a powerful force that had been controlling King Piao's residence from behind the scenes. An obedient Fourth-step Heavenly Venerable was promoted to the position of King Piao.
As for the new King Piao, he publicly expressed his full support for the First Prince and was used by the First Prince. He was determined to let the First Prince become the Crown Prince and take control of the Imperial Court.
Originally, King Piao's residence fully supported the Ninth Prince, Pan Xi. This matter was personally decided by Piao Hua Sage, so it was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Piao Clan.
Naturally, everyone obeyed the orders of the Old Ancestor and supported the Ninth Prince.
However, after the new King ascended to the position, he forcefully suppressed the opposing forces. Those who did not obey were either imprisoned or killed.
As such, the entire King Piao's residence was in a state of chaos and the smell of blood was strong.
The opposing forces were quickly suppressed. The new King used blood and iron to suppress and rule King Piao's residence, causing everyone in King Piao's residence to be cautious.
Many of the clansmen wanted to escape from King Piao's residence, but it was very difficult. Once they were caught, they would either die or be crippled. It was a tragic end.
Piao Xiaoshu and his son had gone through a lot of hardships and meticulous planning. Coupled with a coincidence, they were lucky enough to escape.
The current situation in King Piao's residence was very complicated. Qin Xiao felt a headache coming on when he heard about it.
It was not easy to solve the problem in King Piao's residence. There were too many implications, and the entire Pan Kingdom would be implicated.
It would take a lot of effort to pull King Piao's residence back on the right track. At the very least, he had to deal with the First Prince first.
The First Prince was a One-step Ancient Saint and had the support of two kings. He had a large number of troops and great power. It was not easy to deal with him.
Moreover, his father, King Pan, was a Two-step Ancient Saint.
With Qin Xiao's current strength, there was no way he could deal with a Two-step Ancient Saint.
Even if Little Gu Dong and the other two joined forces, they were still no match for King Pan.
If this matter really got out of hand, it would not be easy to clean up.
Therefore, Qin Xiao felt a headache coming on. Before Qin Xiao came, he knew that the situation was not simple. However, the actual situation was beyond his expectations. It was much more complicated than he had imagined.
However, no matter how difficult it was, there was no other way. Since he had said that he would do it, he had to do it no matter what.
Qin Xiao analyzed the situation seriously. Then, he said to Piao Xiaoshu's father, "Uncle, I heard you say that you are going to seek shelter, right?"
"From what you said, it seems that there were several groups of people who escaped from King Piao's residence. I believe that those groups of people should have gathered together, right?"
"So, you are going to find those people, right?"
Piao Xiaoshu's father did not hide anything in front of Qin Xiao. He nodded and said, "Yes, benefactor. I am going to find my uncle and meet up with them. No matter what, we are members of the Piao Clan. "
"We can't go back to King Piao's residence, but we can establish another Piao Clan and pass down the bloodline of my great-grandfather, King Piao."
"Alas, this is the only way now. There is no other way."
Qin Xiao asked again, "What is the situation of those people now? How many people are there in total? What is the strength of your uncle? "
These questions made Piao Xiaoshu's father hesitate for a moment. After all, this was a very confidential question. Even to Piao Xiaoshu, he had not explicitly said it.
Therefore, Piao Xiaoshu's father looked at Qin Xiao and seemed to be in a difficult position.
However, he felt that Qin Xiao did not have any hostility or intention. He should be purely concerned about them.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Piao Xiaoshu's father said, "I am not too sure about the exact number of people, but there are probably only about ten thousand people."
"My uncle is the strongest. He is a fourth-step Heavenly Venerable. As for the others, their strength is more average. Most of them are only first-step Heavenly Venerables. There are also many mortals. "
After hearing what Piao Xiaoshu's father said, Qin Xiao smiled happily. "It's good that he is a fourth-step Heavenly Venerable. Then there is still some hope."
Qin Xiao's words made Piao Xiaoshu's father puzzled. He looked at Qin Xiao in confusion. What did he mean?
What did he mean by it was good that he was a fourth-step Heavenly Venerable? There was still some hope?
What hope?
Piao Xiaoshu's father naturally did not know that Qin Xiao had come to help King Piao's residence. With a fourth-step Heavenly Venerable, they could create an Ancient Sage.
With an Ancient Sage, the Piao Clan would have hope.
Being able to escape from King Piao's residence was enough to show that he was very dissatisfied with the new king and had the intention of rebelling.
This kind of person was the hope of the Piao Clan. Only he could lead the Piao Clan on the right track and ensure that the Piao Clan did not decline and walk towards a dead end.
Therefore, Qin Xiao smiled happily when he heard this.
He had a headache just now, thinking about how to uproot the Piao Clan, how to solve the problem of King Piao's residence, and how to give the Divine Origin Fruit to the people of the Piao Clan.
Now, there was an excellent candidate. And this candidate could help Qin Xiao uproot the Piao Clan.
Of course, things were not so simple. There were still many things to do.
But it was fine. At least there was a good start. It would be much easier to do it later.
Seeing that Piao Xiaoshu's father was looking at him with a puzzled expression, Qin Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Piao, I wonder if you can trust me?"
What did he mean?
Piao Xiaoshu's father was even more puzzled. He looked at Qin Xiao and hesitated for a while before saying, "Benefactor, what are you saying?"
"Benefactor, you saved us, father and son. Of course, I completely trust you."
"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have said those words to you."
"However, I don't quite understand. Benefactor, you seem to be very interested in this matter. What do you mean?"
"Haha!" Qin Xiao smiled and said, "To be honest, I have an old friendship with your Ancestor, Piao Hua Saint. So, I am naturally interested in this matter."
"If you trust me, can you take me to your uncle and the others? I have something to discuss with them. "
What?
Piao Xiaoshu and his father were shocked when they heard Qin Xiao's words. They widened their eyes and looked at Qin Xiao in astonishment.
It can't be, right?
He has an old friendship with Ancestor Piao Hua Saint?
That's not right. Ancestor Piao Hua Saint died 100 million years ago. The person in front of them looked like he had only lived for 20 to 30 million years. How could he have an old friendship with Ancestor Piao Hua Saint?
It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible.
But … he doesn't seem to be lying. What's going on?
