451 Nine sons take the heir
"Lord of the state, why let him go, in case the one in the state is to blame, I'm afraid it won't do us any good."
Some Elder Keqing was puzzled.
"Hmph, just an illegitimate child, if he dies, he will die, will he worry about a dead man and me. Besides, this is the kid who greeted me, and he still has to give face. β
"State Lord, I still don't understand, with your cultivation in the middle stage of the Scattered Immortals, why was you sent to such a barren land where birds don't, the old slave really feels worthless for you."
If it were someone else, he would have been slapped to death by a slap long ago. But Liang Xuanyuan patiently explained:
"You think I've been degraded?"
"Isn't it?"
The old man was taken aback.
"Of course not. This is what I asked for myself. β
Liang Xuanyuan shook his head, picked up the wine glass, looked at the rose-red wine, and drank it all.
"Then the old slave doesn't understand it even more."
"The life of the king of Tianji is not long, the nine sons are already a foregone conclusion, we should not be in this troubled water, otherwise no matter which side joins, there is only a one-tenth chance of winning, it is better to win, if you lose, you will be doomed, it is better to wait for everything to stabilize and then make plans."
"The state lord is wise!"
The old man suddenly realized.
"Brother Chu, where are you from?"
Jiujiu asked with some curiosity.
"We come from a far, far away place."
"Is it Shangzhou, I heard that the people there are very rich, and the monks are all very powerful."
"No, my hometown is much more barren than Xuanqing Prefecture, and it is a Jedi land of cultivation."
Chu Yi said indifferently.
Just as they were returning to the inn, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said:
"This little friend, my master is invited."
His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his back was slightly hunched, and his face was indifferent.
"Your master?"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and said indifferently:
"If you want to see me, let him come by himself."
Hearing this, the man flashed a trace of anger, and sneered:
"It's good for young people to be a little arrogant, but it also has to be differentiated. Just by what you just said, it is difficult to forgive. β
"If it weren't for my good mood today, you'd be lying down by now."
Chu Yi snorted coldly.
"You-"
The middle-aged man was about to speak, when a young man in a fancy costume came with a folding fan in his hand.
"This friend has a big temper."
He has a well-proportioned figure, eyes like stars, and his whole body exudes a kind of dragon and phoenix imperial appearance, although his face is full of smiles, he is not angry and arrogant.
"I just don't like people yelling in my ear."
"I don't know if my friends are interested in coming to my house, I am willing to treat you as a guest. Not only are there all kinds of elixirs, but even the best exercises can be left to you. β
The young man in Chinese clothes folded his fan and shook it gently, as if he was sure that Chu would nod his head in agreement.
"Not interested."
Chu Yi spoke indifferently.
"Huh?"
The young man in Chinese clothes raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and then smiled:
"Could it be that the conditions I offer are not generous enough?"
"Your conditions are very tempting, but unfortunately I am not used to being a subordinate to others."
"You may be mistaken, not a subordinate. Between you and me, we will talk about each other as equals. β
The young man in Chinese costume had a burning eye, as if he had made a lot of determination.
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man next to him was moved.
"Masterβ"
"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more."
Chu Yi looked at him, and when he saw that the other party's eyes were honest and his face was sincere, he couldn't help but think of Aspiration and nodded:
"It's kind of interesting."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Panlong City, thousands of miles away."
After speaking, the man folded the fan and turned to leave.
"Master, what kind of identity do you have, even if that kid has some qualifications, it is not worthy of your condescension to make friends."
Ding Lao asked with some puzzlement.
Because, with the status of a young man in Chinese costumes, even in the face of scattered immortal figures, he can also drink and talk happily, and talk about his peers, how can he be in the eyes of a mere Wang Realm grandmaster?
"Nowadays, my father's health is getting worse day by day, and the open and secret battles between our brothers are intensifying. The imperial city is full of big brothers and second brothers, and those with a little talent have already been co-opted, and the major forces in Shangzhou in the Central Plains have their own support objects, and they are competing in secret, and we must have enough strength to protect ourselves. β
Hearing this, Ding Lao nodded, and let out a long sigh.
"Then why don't you just take him back, but instead ask him to go to Panlong City to rendezvous, in case he is intercepted and killed by the people of Tianwu Sect halfway, won't it be a failure?"
"From the moment we left the Imperial City, we were actually targeted. If we take him back, we are more likely to be suspicious of the eldest brother and the second brother, which is not good for us. What's more, if he doesn't even have the ability to arrive in Panlong City alive, he won't be worth recruiting. β
After the young man in Chinese costume left, Zhongli Yujia's face was solemn.
"If I'm not mistaken, that person just now should be the Nine Emperor Princes of the Tianji Dynasty, Guo You."
"What?! That, that person is the Nine Emperor Princes! β
Liu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, and immediately covered her mouth, for fear of being heard by others.
"Yes, that's him!"
Zhongli Yujia seemed to fall into memory:
"I had a relationship with him back then, when he was just a child, but he had the air of an emperor between his eyebrows. My master once said that this son is extraordinary, and he will become a great weapon in the future. β
"Now it seems that he should be trying to win us over, because this generation of Heavenly Pole Kings is in his last years, and the battle between his nine princes should also reach a critical moment."
"Isn't the surname of the Tianji Dynasty Dongfang, why is the surname of the Nine Emperor Princes Guo?"
The girl asked, puzzled.
"The Nine Emperors take their mother's surname, which is allowed by the King of Tianji to commemorate the Guo family's contribution to the dynasty."
"Looks like you know a lot."
Chu nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"The Heavenly Pole Dynasty is the ruler of the Xuan Realm, which has lasted for thousands of years. It seeks balance among the major sects in Shangzhou, and now it is the largest force in the Xuan Realm. This generation of the Heavenly Pole King is about to become an immortal, and his nine princes will inevitably have a fierce competition in order to compete for the right to inherit, and this is also the acquiescence of the Heavenly Pole King. β
"Then why did he let his children kill each other, isn't that too cruel?"
Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
"Because only in this way can the best heir be chosen, and after he succeeds to the throne, the position can be consolidated."
"Alas, it's not so much a battle between the nine princes, it's better to say that the major sects in Shangzhou are competing with each other. Once their supporters succeed in succeeding to the throne, the rewards are enormous. β
"Sounds interesting."
Chu Yi grinned:
"The Tianji Dynasty has ruled the Xuan Realm for thousands of years, and it must have a profound heritage. If I help him ascend to the throne, I think it will be rewarded. β
Zhongli Yujia was dumbfounded and looked at him in disbelief.
This kind of change of power is a major event related to the future of the Xuan Realm, not to mention him, even if it is the entire Zhengyi, he may not be qualified to participate. Only the oldest and most powerful Dao systems, such as the Mending Heaven Palace, the Star Picking Tower, and the Black and White Academy, have the ability to participate, and there may even be the shadow of the earth immortals and old monsters.
"Chu Kunlun must be crazy."
He shook his head secretly.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
Jiujiu asked, clutching his small pocket.
She also knew how precious those elixirs were, so she was extra careful.
"Let's go to Panlong City first, go there and meet the Nine Emperor Princes, I want to see what medicine he sells in his gourd."
"We have nowhere to go, can we follow you, Jiujiu will definitely be very well-behaved and obedient."
The girl snorted, for fear that Chu Yi would refuse.
"Okay."
Chu nodded a little and readily agreed.
"Thank you for today."
Liu Xiaoxiao said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, you just follow us, and you can take care of you along the way. What are your plans for the future? β
"We want to go to Jiuhua Shangzhou to find Shibo, she is an elder in a certain great sect, she should be able to settle us down, and find out the murderer of the master and sister by the way."
At this point, she looked sad again.
"Alas, from now on, there will only be me and Jiujiu left in the Xuanzhen Sect."
"By the way, I heard that the person you killed today has a very good background, will anyone trouble you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao was worried.
"The troublemakers have arrived."
Chu Yi turned around with a sneer.
Out of the dense forest was an old man with cold eyes, five short figures, and a cold face, it was none other than the elder of the Tianwu Sect.
"Stinky boy, out of Chihong County, this is where you are buried!"
