Ninth Prince's Manor, the two discussed matters, and when they talked about the Heavenly Demon Clan God of War, the atmosphere immediately became solemn.
Xuan Que frowned and said, "What's wrong? Asura leaving Demonic Source Death Realm should be a good thing for Thirteenth Imperial Brother. After all, the threat of this God of War is too great. If he stays, even the two Demon Emperors have some scruples and have to give Third Prince some slack."
"Asura's staying will indeed hinder me from overthrowing Third Prince, but compared to the consequences of his leaving, this impact can be completely ignored."
Ning Chen said in a deep voice, "Ninth Imperial Brother also knows that on all battlefields now, only Western Battlefield and I, Heavenly Demon Royal Clan, are at a disadvantage. Therefore, as long as Asura leaves, he must go to Western Battlefield to support him."
Having said this, Ning Chen paused slightly, looked to the west, and said, "Ninth Imperial Brother, Western Battlefield, who is in charge now, you should know better than anyone else."
"There are still dragons, Xuanzhen"
Xuan Que's expression changed slightly and he replied.
Ning Chen nodded and said solemnly, "So, no matter what, Asura must not leave. Otherwise, once the war in the west is calmed down and Xuanzhen returns, the situation in the imperial city will change again. By then, how can we compete with First Prince, who has the support of two Demon Emperors and has great military exploits?"
Xuan Que heard this, and his expression became heavy. He was careless and only focused on the situation in the imperial city, forgetting that there was another First Prince on the battlefield ahead.
Under the current situation, First Prince cannot return to the city, at least not with all his military exploits.
In this way, Asura really cannot leave.
Looking at the former's thoughts, Ning Chen said seriously, "The situation in the imperial city is unpredictable. Before, we really needed First Prince to contain Xuan Qing. However, with the current situation, First Prince will either not come back or come back and bring a thunderous force to eliminate all obstacles. Such a result is not what we want."
Xuan Que nodded and said solemnly, "What can I do for Thirteenth Imperial Brother?"
"Leverage Xuan Qing's hand to contain Asura."
Ning Chen solemnly said, "Ninth Imperial Brother is kind to Third Prince. Third Prince can still listen to what the emperor said. As long as Third Prince can see the current situation clearly, he will definitely find a way to make Asura stay."
"I understand."
Xuan Que nodded and agreed.
After talking about the matter, Ning Chen stood up, looked ahead Ninth Prince, and said, "I can't stay in the emperor's palace for too long, lest I arouse others' suspicion. I will leave the rest to the emperor's brother."
"Don't worry"
Xuan Que also stood up and responded, "Xuan Qing, I will take a trip there. The emperor is now caught in the whirlpool of Imperial Authority's struggle, so be careful."
"Thank you for reminding me, my dear brother, I will do it."
Ning Chen responded, without saying another word, turned and walked towards the outside of the royal palace.
"Thirteenth Imperial Brother"
From behind, Xuan Que suddenly spoke and called.
"Huh?"
Ning Chen stopped, looked back, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Ninth Imperial Brother Is there anything else?"
"I really want to know why you are not interested in Imperial Authority Datong at all?"
Xuan Que asked seriously as he expressed the long-pressed question in his heart.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "In this life, there are too many things that are more meaningful than Imperial Authority. I don't want to give up these precious things around me for it, such as the hard-won feelings of fellow blood brothers in front of me."
Hearing this, Xuan Que was silent for a moment, bowed seriously, and said, "I apologize again for my previous distrust of Thirteenth Imperial Brother."
"It's all over."
Ning Chen chuckled, turned and left without saying another word.
In the royal palace, Xuan Que looked at the former's leaving figure, his expression condensed.
Thirteenth Brother's oath to give up Imperial Authority was beyond his expectation. The oath would be the most terrifying constraint for any cultivator, especially Heavenly Demon Clan who was not recognized by heaven and earth.
If what Thirteenth Brother does in the future is true to what he said today, then in the future, if he Xuan Que ascends to the throne, Thirteenth Brother will be his Heavenly Demon Royal Clan most important minister.
In the imperial city, Ning Chen was walking on the street, looking at the dark clouds surging in the sky, a cold feeling flashed at the corner of his mouth, the bloodless war had begun again!
It is indeed a pity that soldiers cannot die on the battlefield. No matter when, conspiracy and calculation are the most unpredictable butcher's knife. If you die under it, you will regret it for life.
However, this is part of war. It is as scary as the battlefield, and you may fall at any time.
On the streets, Imperial Guards is patrolling. Since the chaos in the imperial city a long time ago, the security in Three Imperial Cities has been strengthened a lot, and Imperial Guards can be seen everywhere.
Imperial Guards At the front, a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor looked at him. The two looked at each other and stopped.
"Xuan Mo brother."
Ning Chen saluted as usual and said greetings.
"I dare not take it seriously."
Xuan Mo sighed softly and said, "Thirteenth Prince is now the real prince. I can't bear the call of big brother."
"The current situation is actually not what I want."
Ning Chen said with emotion on his face, "In this imperial city, we will face different crises all the time. Today, I have no other choice."
Xuan Mo was silent for a long time, and then said, "I understand that from now on, Your Highness's road will be increasingly bumpy, so Your Highness should take care of himself."
After saying that, Xuan Mo stepped forward and continued walking forward.
The two people passed by each other, their backs facing each other, and they went away, just like a portrayal of life. From today on, the two people's paths are opposite, and it will be difficult for them to walk together.
Just when Ning Chen returned to his mansion, Xuan Que walked out of the Ninth Prince's Manor and walked all the way towards the Third Prince's Manor.
Third Prince's Manor and Xuan Qing were sitting on the throne in the palace, listening to the secret reports brought by Four Xuan Passes from all forces below, their expressions were extremely cold.
The principle of people taking tea to cool down is really vividly reflected in some people. He has just been confined for a few months, and those villains who used to flatter him have already found other masters.
Moreover, Thirteenth Brother is also serious about eating meat and vegetables. He knows that these people have no loyalty at all, but he accepts them all and refuses them all.
It seems that after getting Nine Kings Pearl, Thirteenth Brother can't wait to strengthen himself and compete with him.
"His Highness the Crown Prince, Ninth Prince, His Highness is outside asking for an audience."
At this time, in front of the king's palace, a guard walked quickly and said respectfully.
"Please."
Xuan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Yes!"
The guard took the order and turned to leave.
"Ninth Prince?"
In the hall, the leader of Four Xuan Passes, Dongxuan Yuting, frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this person from Thirteenth Prince's side?"
"This time, that time."
Xuan Qing said calmly, "In the past, Thirteenth Brother was not qualified to inherit the throne, and Lao Jiu and him were on equal terms. Now, Thirteenth Brother gets Nine Kings Pearl, and Lao Jiu can no longer be on an equal footing with Thirteenth Brother. It is natural for people to have changes in their mentality. Judging from what happened when Lao Jiu went to the Demonic Source Death Realm to ask for Asura, my Nine Emperors brother is not as ordinary as he seems. He knows how to leave a second escape route for himself, and he does it. This is what makes him extraordinary, so I am not surprised that he came."
Xuan Qing Not long after he finished speaking, a young figure stepped forward in front of the royal palace. His face was slightly sinister, making people reluctant to get close to him.
"I've seen Third Imperial Brother."
Xuan Que saluted with a respectful expression.
"Ninth brother, there is no need to be polite."
Xuan Qing came out of the palace to greet him in person and said with a smile, "How come Ninth Brother has time to come to me Crown Prince's Estate today?"
"After Third Imperial Brother regained his freedom, I always wanted to come to congratulate him, but I couldn't get away from him. Today I had a chance to have some free time, so I came to visit Third Imperial Brother." Xuan Que said.
"My brothers, Ninth Brother, don't be so polite."
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "It's cold outside, you and I will talk to you after we go into the palace."
"Yeah"
Xuan Que nodded and stepped into the hall.
In the hall, Four Xuan Passes saluted the two of them and quietly retreated, without disturbing their conversation.
Looking at the four people leaving, a thoughtful look flashed in Xuan Que's eyes, and he asked a little uncertainly, "Are they Four Xuan Royal Clans?"
"Ninth brother has good eyesight."
Xuan Qing chuckled and responded, "They are Four Xuan Royal Clans contemporary entrance halls, Dongxuan Yuting, Xixuan Yufeng, Nanxuan Yangyi and Beixuan Yaoxue."
Xuan Que had a strange look on his face when he heard this, and said, "The emperor brother actually took them under his command, which really surprised the emperor brother."
"Beixuan Royal Clan is my mother's clan. As for the other three clans, they have always been on good terms with the Beixuan Royal Clan. The four royal families have both prospered and suffered losses. I can get their allegiance. Speaking of which, I have to thank my mother and concubine." Xuan Qingwei said with a smile.
Xuan Que sighed lightly. The biggest difference between him, Xuan Qing and the two princes Xuanzhen was their origin. What Heavenly Demon Royal Clan cared about most was blood. This was also the fundamental reason why Thirteenth Brother had been unable to obtain Nine Kings Pearl before.
However, now that Thirteenth Brother has set a precedent, not only him, but also other Imperial Princes may have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
"Ninth brother, how are you doing Thirteenth Imperial Brother recently?" Xuan Qing suddenly asked.
Xuan Que was startled when he heard this, and then his expression turned a little ugly. Gu Zuoyan said, "I don't know much about Thirteenth Imperial Brother. Third Imperial Brother, you have better information than me. I came here to ask about the war ahead. What is the situation now?"
"Not optimistic."
Seeing that the former did not want to talk about Thirteenth Brother, Xuan Qing did not force it and responded truthfully, "Although the Wu clan has temporarily withdrawn its troops, the war on other parties is still tense, especially Western Sacred Domain, whose strength is beyond imagination. Each of the six Holy Domain Palace Masters is a strong man in the late King Realm. Their combat power is amazing and extremely difficult to deal with."
Xuan Que frowned and said, "Didn't the dragons also go Western Battlefield?"
"The strength of the Third Palace of the Sanctuary and Six Palace Masters is not inferior to that of the dragons. Even if the dragons take action, the situation will not change much." Xuan Qing replied.
Xuan Que frowned again, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that the situation can be reversed only if our war god takes action."
"Asura?"
Xuan Qing looked at the Demonic Source Death Realm in the distance and said, "Asura takes action, the result will definitely be different, then"
Speaking of this, Xuan Qing's expression suddenly changed.
Careless!
All this time, his eyes have been focused on Thirteenth Brother, but he has ignored First Prince of Western Battlefield.
It is true that Xuanzhen cannot come back now, but if the war situation in the west is calmed down and Xuanzhen comes back with military exploits, who can check and balance him.
