Chapter 1316 Overt and covert fighting (1/4)

Sometimes, the murderous intent hidden in words may be more frightening than actually taking action.

The conversation between the Ninth Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince made everyone present feel terrified.

At the same time, I also understand better that there seems to be no reconciliation between these three people.

Even if the Ninth Prince succeeded in becoming the Crown Prince.

After all, if the Ninth Prince is really allowed to gain power, how can the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince who did such a thing be kind?

They will be the first to be dealt with when the time comes.

"Okay, the two royal brothers are standing here so that we don't dare to sit down. Why don't we go and take our seats first?" The Ninth Prince smiled and pointed at the ministers and geniuses who all stood up.

The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince nodded and followed the Ninth Prince to sit two steps higher than the other seats.

When they sat on it, they saw Mu Fusheng and others in the first place.

"It seems that these are the talented students of Hungling Academy." The third prince said with a smile: "I have heard from Lao Jiu about your talents a long time ago. Maybe we can also cooperate in depth by then."

Ye Qiubai cupped his hands and said, "Then we have to see His Highness's sincerity."

The Ninth Prince smiled slightly, not at all angry that the Third Prince was poaching in front of him.

After all, they were on opposite sides, and Ye Qiubai and the others didn't look like fools, so naturally they wouldn't do anything to offend both parties.

The fifth prince also smiled and said: "Isn't there going to be a fun part later? I hope to see the strength of several of them then."

"Okay, let's continue the chat between the two royal brothers later. It's time for the next step, otherwise it will take too long." The Ninth Prince waved slightly.

The guards on the side also nodded when they saw this, and immediately shouted loudly: "Gifts from all officials!"

Suddenly, a maid came out with different treasures in her hands and came to the middle of the banquet.

When offering the gift, the name of the person offering the gift will also be read.

"Prince Ming presents a fire bead from the palm of the God of Heaven!"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs presents a Kirin Tianshou flower!"

…

Although the process seems a bit boring.

But this is a necessary part of surrender.

The Ninth Prince was smiling, while the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince on the side still had decent smiles on their faces. But the look in his eyes gradually darkened.

Prince Ming and the Minister of Civil Affairs are both important ministers in the court. Such important ministers usually do not take sides easily. Now that they suddenly stand in the ranks of the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince's reputation will be greatly improved!

You know, the Ninth Prince's biggest weakness is his background and reputation.

It seems that this trip to Qinglong City made countless ministers see the possibility of the Ninth Prince...

At this time, a maid was holding a mahogany plate. There was no cover on the top, and there was a bamboo section that revealed the aura of blue frost from top to bottom. Even if they didn't consciously feel it, everyone present could feel as if their whole bodies had been cleansed by ice.

Xuan Bing Ling Xi Bamboo.

A valuable treasure at the pinnacle level of the ancestral realm.

Whether it is for refining weapons or for cultivating ice-attribute cultivators, if you look at the entire Tianji Continent, it can cause a bloody storm.

The next words of the personal guard on the side made all the ministers and geniuses present look condensed.

"Her Royal Highness the Second Princess has sent you a Xuanbing Lingxi Bamboo!"

Such a valuable treasure, and it was sent by the emperor's daughter.

You must know that although the second princess has no interest in imperial power, her natural strength and profound foundation are so profound that if she wants to fight for the throne, even the ninth prince may not be able to fight for it.

The emperor also said that if the emperor wants his position, he can abdicate at any time.

This shows the special status of the Second Princess in the Nine Dragons Dynasty.

The third prince and the fifth prince also looked down. Although they knew that the second princess seemed to take good care of Lao Jiu, they had never shown such support in public!

For a time, many ministers and ministers who had not originally thought of taking a side stood up and prepared temporary gifts...

Maple Leaf, who saw this scene, couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a pity that I'm not an ice attribute practitioner, so this is too much."

Ye Qiubai suddenly thought of Mu Ziqing.

Before he had time to think about it, he was interrupted by Mu Fusheng on the side: "Elder brother, please don't take any chances with the Xuanbing Lingxi Bamboo. I beg you."

Ye Qiubai: "..."

After all, he hasn't yet established a firm foothold in Tianji Continent, and there is a second leader of Hungling Academy who can kill a thousand swords and is eyeing him.

And then involving the royal family in such a complicated situation...

That Mu Fusheng went crazy...

The gift-giving session lasted for a full hour before it ended.

At this moment, the fifth prince suddenly smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit boring to just drink wine. How about adding some people to help the fun?"

When everyone heard these words, they understood that the fifth prince and the third prince were about to take action.

Now that they are at the Ninth Prince's banquet, it is impossible for them to do nothing.

Otherwise, if this matter spreads, people will more or less think that the third prince and the fifth prince are at their wits end.

The Ninth Prince took a sip of wine and asked knowingly, "Oh? I wonder what Fifth Brother wants to do?"

"There are so many talented people here, why not come up and compare notes? It just so happens that there are also talented people from Hunling Academy here. Let outsiders see the character of the younger generation of our Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty. It will be a good story."

Immediately, the Ninth Prince smiled, looked at Mu Fusheng and others below, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

Ye Qiu, Baishi, animal husbandry, floating and Fangqiong did not continue.

Maple Leaf and Xiao Hei were very positive and nodded directly: "Okay."

Well...the reactions of these two fighting maniacs were not unexpected.

Upon seeing this, a man with two axes jumped up and stood in the center of the banquet, cupping his hands and saying, "Seven Kills Divine Sect Lan Yao is willing to give it a try."

The Seven Kills Divine Sect was a sect within the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty that was very close to the fifth prince. It was quite powerful.

Lan Yao, on the other hand, is a genius of the Seven Kills Divine Sect, and has now reached the half-step ancestral realm.

Everyone focused their attention on Maple Leaf and the others.

Maple Leaf smiled, looked at Xiao Hei and said, "You go first or me?"

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

Among the people on the other side, there is only Maple Leaf who is at the Half-Step Ancestral Realm, and Xiao Hei does not have the physical strength to reach the middle stage of the God Emperor Realm. Do you still need to ask him if he can reach the middle stage of the God Emperor Realm?

If that little black guy is allowed to play, wouldn't it be a one-sided situation?

Although it is just a competition, it also represents the face of each sect.

Xiao Hei originally wanted Maple Leaf to go first.

But Lan Yao sneered directly and said: "This person is not strong enough. How about you, fairy, come up and compete with me?"

When Xiao Hei heard these words, he opened his mouth and then closed it. Then he grinned and said, "In that case, let me go first. I just feel that I have improved a lot these days."

PS: I’ve just finished talking, and there are still three chapters to write.
