#252 - Seven-tailed Phoenix Sunflower, the Royal Family's Competition for Favor

Chapter 252 Seven-tailed Phoenix Sunflower, Royal Favor Competition

The cultivator below was slightly surprised and said, "What does Your Highness mean?"

Lie Yao sneered, "Since the thing hasn't been presented yet, it's hard to say who it belongs to. The second child is still on his way back, right? You immediately gather people… No, most of our people are known to the second child. You go down, I'll think of a way myself."

"Yes!"

The former saluted and retreated, secretly shocked in his heart. Was this going to attack his own brother?

Lie Yao paced back and forth in the room, frowning and hesitating. After a long while, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and took out a communication talisman.

…

Divine Dream Dynasty.

Four Symbols City.

Inside a certain restaurant.

At this moment, the third floor had been cleared. The Second Prince, Lie Xiang, and the Eldest Princess, Lie Feiyan, sat by the window, looking at the cultivators flying around outside, with smiles on their faces.

The Eldest Princess, Lie Feiyan, was indeed beautiful and unparalleled, inheriting the advantages of her mother. Her eyebrows also carried a bit of Lie Huan's majesty and domineering aura, with some of the demeanor of a female emperor.

"Sister, this time we came out to travel, and we were able to obtain such an opportunity. When Father Emperor's birthday comes, this Seven-tailed Phoenix Sunflower will be our joint birthday gift. With this spiritual medicine, Father Emperor might be able to break through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm in one fell swoop!"

Lie Xiang said, beaming with joy.

Lie Feiyan smiled and said, "No need for that. I have already prepared a birthday gift for Father Emperor. You can present this Seven-tailed Phoenix Sunflower alone."

Lie Xiang shook his head and said, "That won't do. After all, you and I, brother and sister, discovered it together. How can I take all the credit?"

Lie Feiyan poked his forehead and shook her head with a smile, "You, ah, you're just too honest. That won't work. How can you outplay the Third?"

Lie Xiang said indifferently, "So what? I don't have any interest in the position of Emperor, and I don't plan to compete with him."

Lie Feiyan shook her head and sighed, "Born in an imperial family, some things are not up to you. If you don't compete, someone will force you to compete. The Third's ambition has long been revealed, and his talent is also top-notch among all the princes. Your talent is no less than his, I'm afraid he has already regarded you as a formidable enemy!"

Lie Xiang smiled wryly and said, "Sister, don't you know me? I really don't have that kind of thought. I just want to cultivate quietly and travel around when I have nothing to do, that's good enough!"

Lie Feiyan scolded with a smile, "You call this having no ambition. No wonder Father Emperor has always hated you for not living up to expectations."

Suddenly, a figure flew up from downstairs. This person was wearing spiritual armor and was a middle-aged man with a full beard. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the surroundings seem a bit strange. Some cultivators with abnormal behavior have appeared. This subordinate believes that we should leave this place as soon as possible and return to the Imperial Capital!"

Kou Ci said, "Although this Four Symbols City is a relatively prosperous city within the dynasty, the sudden emergence of five or six Fusion Realm cultivators is really strange. Moreover, this subordinate can feel that this place has been shrouded by dozens of divine senses. We are probably being targeted."

Lie Feiyan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Lie Xiang was shocked and said, "This place is not too far from the Imperial Capital, could it be that someone dares to attack me here?"

Kou Ci shook his head and said, "No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. Your Highnesses, this subordinate believes that perhaps we have been too high-profile in our actions during this period, attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives. This is not the Imperial Capital, anything can happen!"

Lie Xiang wanted to say something more, but Lie Feiyan had already stood up and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

Lie Xiang could only nod. The group immediately went downstairs, and a group of people quickly flew away.

A few breaths later, several cultivators wearing gray robes and fake masks emerged from the shops around the restaurant. They looked up at the direction in which Lie Feiyan and others disappeared, looked at each other, and then soared into the sky and followed.

—

Several thousand miles outside Four Symbols City, in a dense forest.

Lie Feiyan and others were flying at low altitude, shuttling through it at high speed.

Kou Ci looked back with a grim expression. He saw five streams of light approaching from the high sky at an even faster speed, and they would reach the top of the crowd in a short while.

"Everyone, stop running, you can't escape!"

The leader of the gray-robed man waved his right hand violently, and more than a dozen array flags suddenly shot out from the storage ring and scattered around. In an instant, a large array was erected within a radius of hundreds of miles, trapping Lie Feiyan and others inside.

"Bold, do you know who these two are!" Kou Ci shouted sharply, "Dare to attack us, if His Majesty finds out, he will definitely make your souls dissipate!"

Kou Ci's divine sense swept over the five people, and he felt a little chilled in his heart.

Among these five people, there were actually two in the late stage of the Fusion Realm and three in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm.

And on his side, there was only one in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, and the others were in the early stage of the Fusion Realm and the Transformation God Realm. Although there were more people, the combat power of the two sides was not on the same level at all.

The gray-robed man grinned and said, "I don't care who you are, and I'm not interested in knowing. We only seek wealth, not life. Hand over all your storage rings obediently, and we will leave immediately. Don't make trouble for yourself!"

Kou Ci gritted his teeth, looked back at Lie Feiyan and Lie Xiang, and transmitted his voice, "Your Highness, the opponent's strength is much stronger than ours. If a battle breaks out, this subordinate is afraid that it will be difficult to take care of Your Highnesses. It is better to spend money to avoid disaster, give them the things first, and this subordinate will definitely find out the identity of the other party and eliminate all these guys!"

Lie Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, dare to rob this prince, you are really audacious!"

Lie Feiyan pursed her red lips and nodded lightly, "Okay!"

She was a very decisive woman, and without hesitation, she directly took off all the storage rings on her hand and threw them into the high sky, and the others followed suit.

Several gray-robed men waved their sleeves and took away all the storage rings, smiling faintly, "Everyone is indeed sensible, this is the best, it saves us the effort…"

Suddenly, the eyes of several people suddenly turned cold, and the leader said coldly, "The things are not right!"

Lie Xiang and others were slightly startled.

Kou Ci said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, everyone? You have also seen that we have given you all the storage rings. Could it be that you don't keep your word? I advise you to take it as soon as you see it, if you really start fighting, you can't bear the consequences!"

The leading gray-robed man sneered, "Since the words have been said to this point, we won't hide it anymore. Before, our brothers saw you pick a Seven-tailed Phoenix Sunflower, hand it over, and you can leave!"

Seven-tailed Phoenix Sunflower!

Lie Xiang and others were all taken aback.

They were seen when they were picking the spiritual medicine before?

So their purpose is this!

Lie Xiang gritted his teeth. He did have a storage ring that he didn't hand over before, because this thing was too precious, so he kept it in his spiritual armor. He didn't expect that the other party was coming for this thing!
