Would You Dare Fight Me?

After everyone had arrived, the Golden Core Cultivators gathered at the Garrison Envoy's residence in Golden Goose City to discuss the specific arrangements for attacking the Nine Nether Profound Crystal Vein.

As Gu Chengfeng entered the council hall with the other two, he smiled. "Back then, we wanted to force the Prince to join the Zhao family, but failed. Yet now, we have ultimately become ministers serving in the same hall.

"The Prince's strength far surpasses that of ordinary men as well. Among Golden Core Late Stage cultivators, this old man's strength may not rank among the very best, but it is still above average. I never expected that I could not even defeat a Mid Golden Core Prince.

"I fear that before long, the Prince's strength will surpass this old man's. Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"

At this moment, Zhao Jingguo entered with four members of the Zhao family. They clasped their hands to Wang Daoyuan in greeting.

The Sixth Prince held only the rank of marquis, naturally inferior to Wang Daoyuan's rank as prince.

Zhao Jingguo was Duke An, but as Minister of the Imperial Clan, he had authority over members of the Zhao family. Even Zhao family princes had to salute him upon meeting him.

But Wang Daoyuan was not surnamed Zhao, so the Minister of the Imperial Clan's position held no authority over him.

Zhao Jingguo could only salute him as well. Of course, Wang Daoyuan did not put on airs and respectfully returned the gesture.

Once everyone had taken their seats, Zhao Jingguo smiled. "As the saying goes, a snake cannot move without a head. This attack on the Nine Nether Profound Crystal Mine was the Prince's plan.

"His Majesty intends for the Prince to command the entire operation, while we simply cooperate honestly.
