For the entire afternoon, Chen Xiao strolled around the capital.
On one hand, it was to gather resources in preparation for the Baihu Burial.
On the other hand, he was waiting for Wang Haogan to give him a definite answer.
Although at the beginning …
When Chen Xiao heard that the current king had passed away and that the teleportation portal could not be opened, he had planned to force his way in.
But after considering that Wang Haogan had indeed been treating him well and had asked him to wait a little longer, he restrained himself and waited for the entire afternoon.
Repay enmity with kindness.
This was also one of Chen Xiao's principles.
Now it looked like …
Wang Haogan did not disappoint him!
"Time and place."
Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Xiao smiled. "Also, who is the person you were talking about?"
Shenwu Continent was too vast.
Even the land area of King Xuanwu was far larger than any known country on Earth.
Not to mention, teleportation between the two regions required an astronomical amount of resources. Even with Xuan Wu's power, it was difficult to carry out continuous teleportation.
The person who could make the decision to open the inter-region teleportation portal for him must have a high status in the capital!
Even if he was not the ruler of a country, he must be close to it.
"This person is …"
Wang Haogan paused, then lowered his voice. "Xuan Wu's Crown Prince Xuan Yukong. His Highness has a high reputation in the country and has many supporters in the capital. He is known as the most promising successor to the throne. I spent a lot of effort to get His Highness to agree …"
Subsequently, Wang Haogan spoke tirelessly and clearly analyzed the current situation in the capital.
Crown Prince Xuan Yukong was without a doubt the most promising successor to the throne.
However, other than Xuan Yukong, there were two other princes who were equally powerful.
Third Prince Xuan Yuguang and Fifth Prince Xuan Yushu!
"Third Prince Xuan Yuguang is the most talented. He is only fifty-three years old and is already at the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Pill. He is almost invincible in the same realm … Uh, of course, he is nothing compared to you. All in all, Third Prince Xuan Yuguang has been very close to the Second Prince recently …"
As he spoke, Wang Haogan suddenly paused. With a strange look in his eyes, he glanced at the smiling Chen Xiao.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized ….
In terms of cultivation talent, no one in the entire Xuan Wu Country could compare to this young man in front of him!
Materialization Realm?
Yuan Dan Pill State?
Jindan State?
Even now, Wang Haogan was unable to accurately estimate Chen Xiao's true strength.
Not to mention that Chen Xiao was an all-element Grandmaster. He was simply a heaven-defying super monster!
In comparison, the achievements of the Third Prince were nothing.
"Cough cough cough! Apart from them, there is also the Fifth Prince Xuan Yushu … "
It was used for telepathy …
Thus, it didn't take long for Chen Xiao to gain a basic understanding of the current situation in the capital.
"To put it simply, Xuan Yukong's reputation is the highest, but he lacks the support of experts. If we're able to persuade him, then we'll definitely be able to activate the Inter-Province Teleportation Formation."
Chen Xiao's mind was clear.
"What about the time?"
"The time will be tomorrow night. The location will be the Xuan Wu Palace. The Crown Prince will be hosting an Elite's Banquet. Nominally, it's an invitation to all the prodigies, but in reality, it's to rope in all the forces …"
Chen Xiao understood Wang Haogan's words.
Obviously, the Crown Prince, Xuan Yukong, understood that … no matter how high his reputation was, he needed the support of experts in order to obtain the final victory!
The so-called Elite's Banquet was just a pretense. There was only one real purpose …
To obtain the support of experts!
"If that's the case, we'll just wait one more day."
Chen Xiao nodded and quickly agreed.
…
After a brief exchange, the two parted again.
Chen Xiao strolled along the way, and before long, he arrived in front of a luxurious mansion.
The King's Mansion!
This was the Second Prince's mansion.
An ancient and elegant aura filled the air. Dense Essence Qi condensed into a mist outside. There was even a majestic atmosphere that made one subconsciously feel awe as if they were facing a kingdom's palace!
"The King's Mansion?"
Looking at the King's Mansion in front of him, Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and a flash of thought flashed across his eyes.
Since ancient times, the taboo of kings existed everywhere.
Just like on Earth's ancestral planet, during the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shiming, even the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva was changed to Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the Second Prince's surname was Jun.
But if even the mansion was called the King's Mansion instead of being called the King's Mansion, and it was built so magnificently that it could be compared to a kingdom's palace.
As a minister of a kingdom, he didn't know how to avoid taboo …
Then, the Second Prince's thoughts might be worth pondering.
"From the looks of it, there might be more than three people fighting for the throne!"
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered as he sized up the entire King's Mansion.
A guard saw him and immediately walked up to him. He shouted coldly, "The King's Mansion is in front. Unauthorized personnel, please stop!"
"I'm Princess Huiqin's friend. You just have to inform her." Chen Xiao chuckled.
"Princess Huiqin's friend?"
The guard was taken aback, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Even though he couldn't see anything special about Chen Xiao, if he really was the Princess's friend, he really couldn't stop him.
But before he could speak, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Since you're Mengxiao's friend, why haven't I heard of you?"
A young man with a dignified appearance walked over. His expression was cold and arrogant as he glanced at Chen Xiao disdainfully.
"Mengxiao has only been in the capital for a short while. I know her daily route. You want to pretend to be her friend? Don't you think you're overestimating yourself?"
"Your Royal Highness!"
The guard immediately exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
While he was terrified, he also felt a little lucky.
If the Third Prince had come a little later and didn't stop Chen Xiao from entering the King's Mansion, he would have committed a grave sin!
"We'll settle this later. As for you …"
The Third Prince Xuan Yuguang turned around and looked at Chen Xiao coldly. "How dare you pretend to be Mengxiao's friend and come to the King's Mansion to swindle people. You may be spared from death, but you can't escape punishment. Slap yourself a thousand times with all your strength."
A thousand slaps with all your strength!
The guards at the entrance of the King's Mansion twitched when they heard that.
Not to mention a thousand slaps, even a hundred slaps would be enough to turn his face into mush!
"However, the Third Prince has always been pursuing the Princess. It's normal for him to be so angry when he saw this swindle people."
The guards shook their heads and looked at Chen Xiao with pity in their eyes.
They could totally foresee …
Even if Chen Xiao didn't die today, he would at least lose a layer of skin!
However, Chen Xiao laughed.
"Who do you think you are?"
