The arrival of Prince Scarlet Flame.
Qi Wu understood the other party's intention but did not point it out. Instead, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let's talk inside the courtyard."
Prince Scarlet Flame nodded.
They walked into the courtyard together with Qi Wu.
Sitting at the stone table, Prince Chi Yan looked at Mu Fusheng, Xiao Hei, and Shi Sheng before him, and after a brief examination, said, "It seems you are not simple characters either. No wonder Qi Wu took such a great risk to bring you back to the clan."
The beastmen are xenophobic, and bringing humans into the Qilin Clan would obviously be looked down upon by them.
Mu Fusheng smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me."
Prince Scarlet Flame nodded slightly, then looked at Qi Wu and said, "I heard they can resonate with the Earth Rod of the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Qi Wu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is just to help Xiao Hei and the others gain a foothold in the Qilin Clan. However, they did obtain fragments of the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas in the God Ascension Ruins. Perhaps having these fragments will give them an advantage when searching for the Earth Rod of the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Upon hearing this...
Prince Scarlet Flame frowned slightly. "If that's the case, perhaps the advantage isn't that great."
Qi Wu was taken aback, "The Prince isn't angry?"
Prince Scarlet Flame shook his head and said, "Why would I be angry? Besides, I already doubted the truth of that statement from the beginning. If it were really true, why bring them to the Qilin Clan to show their faces? Wouldn't it have been simpler to just go find the Earth Rod from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas and bring it back?"
However... if it were only for this reason, Prince Scarlet Flame would not have chosen to openly side with Qi Wu.
Of course, they were attracted by Xiao Hei and his companions' talents. Moreover, with such talents, such bloodlines, and Cultivation Method that are compatible with their talents and bloodlines, their backgrounds must be quite impressive.
Prince Scarlet Flame could tell.
Xiao Hei, Shi Sheng, and Mu Fusheng all follow different cultivation paths, but they all come from the same sect.
A person who can cultivate such talent and strength while pursuing a different path is truly extraordinary.
At least no one in the Qilin Clan could do that.
When Qi Wu takes the position of clan leader and establishes connections with the other sect, it will be of immense benefit to Qi Wu's faction.
Prince Scarlet Flame understood this point, which is why he made up his mind.
Even if they ultimately lose the position of clan leader, their connection with the other party will prevent them from suffering too much in the end.
"However... if you can't resonate with it, you won't have much of an advantage in finding the Earth Rod from the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Qi Wu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Prince Scarlet Flame explained, "While you, Second Young Master, were at the God Ascension Ruins participating in the Six Realms Academy Exchange, the Eldest Young Master was already making arrangements. He had planted spies for you in many forces affiliated with the Qilin Clan on the Devil Beast Continent, and then expanded his network through these forces."
"It's safe to say that any unusual news about the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas will quickly reach the young master's ears."
Upon hearing this, Qi Wu's expression darkened. He smashed the stone table to pieces with his fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "No wonder... Father originally wanted to send my eldest brother to participate in the Six Realms Academy Exchange, but he pushed me out instead."
"It's no use getting angry now." Prince Scarlet Flame picked up his teacup as Qi Wu smashed the stone table, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Young Master's plan is complete. We've already lost the initiative in finding the Classic of Mountains and Seas's Earth Rod, so we have to start from elsewhere."
elsewhere?
At this point, Prince Scarlet Flame's eyes began to gleam with murderous intent, "Win over Prince Yang Flame, and if he finds the Earth Rod of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas first, intercept and kill him!"
Each prince possesses an extremely large power base and network of connections.
It can be said that...
Now that Prince Scarlet Flame has joined Qi Wu's side, his power can be relatively balanced with that of Qi Chuan.
If Qi Wu manages to win over two princes, even if Qi Chuan Purple Flame General under his command, they will still be completely suppressed by Qi Wu in terms of power!
but...
Only Prince Scarlet Flame would dare to say such a thing about someone who had forcibly killed the young master.
But that's normal. Now that Prince Scarlet Flame has openly chosen sides, if Qi Wu fails to defeat Qi Chuan, it will be of no benefit to him. In fact, after Qi Chuan takes the throne, his own power will likely be gradually diminished.
Qi Wu nodded, and said solemnly, "But hasn't Prince Yang Flame been keeping a low profile and even signaled that he won't take sides? I've visited him before, and even my elder brother visited him, but to no avail."
Prince Scarlet Flame said calmly, "There's nothing that can't be done. If something can't be done, it's because the benefits aren't enough. That old codger Yang Flame is the same; it's just that the bargaining chips you've offered aren't enough to sway him."
"This is the only possibility for a turnaround now. I'm just offering a suggestion; the specifics of how to proceed are up to you, Second Young Master."
"I understand." Qi Wu nodded.
After saying this, Prince Scarlet Flame left.
Qi Wu looked at Mu Fusheng and said, " Brother Mu, why don't you come with me?"
Mu Fusheng frowned slightly. "Why?"
Qi Wu said helplessly, "Because I feel you're better at this kind of thing. Now we're in the same boat. If we persuade Prince Yang Flame... it will be of great help in finding or preventing Qi Chuan from obtaining the Classic of Mountains and Seas's Earth Rod."
Upon hearing this...
Xiao Hei also looked at Mu Fusheng and smiled, "Then there's nothing we can do. Don't forget the task Master gave us."
Shi Sheng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Junior Brother Mu is better at this kind of thing; Little Senior Brother Hei and I are only good at fighting."
Mu Fusheng helplessly covered his face.
really.
If we send Xiao Hei and Shi Sheng over, forget about negotiations; if things fall apart, they might even end up fighting.
It's over.
This scene is vividly described.
Mu Fusheng felt a little dizzy.
So he could only nod and agree.
Time is of the essence.
The two went directly to the residence of Prince Yang Flame.
On the way.
Qi Wu gave a brief introduction to Prince Yang Flame.
To put it simply...
Among the three princes of the Qilin Clan.
Prince Yang Flame has the strangest temper. He usually stays at home and doesn't interfere much in the affairs of the clan.
I spend most of my time cultivating myself.
Although its power is not as great as that of the other two princes.
However, Prince Yang Flame's own strength is a notch above the other two princes.
If it weren't for the fact that Prince Yang Flame's essence was damaged in a war in his early years...
It's likely that Prince Yang Flame will experience more Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation... he has a very good chance of experiencing Sixth-Level Lightning Tribulation.
Mu Fusheng nodded.
Obviously.
Prince Yang Flame didn't care about the power struggles within the clan; he only cared about his personal strength.
Therefore, we can focus on persuading Prince Yang Flame by addressing this point.
soon.
The two then arrived at Prince Yang Flame's residence.
After arriving here.
As if they already knew they would come, the guards outside the mansion invited the two inside.
only...
There was an uninvited guest among them.
"Oh? You arrived quite quickly."
