Chapter 1198 – No Other Choice
”Third brother is actually you?
What the hell is going on with you?
I thought you had been backstabbed by that Old Five fellow!”
Lao Liu’s entire body let out a huge sigh of relief after seeing Lao San, and his previous stance of biting Lao Wu to death also loosened at this moment, not realizing that how could this be the real Lao San?
Rather, it was a backhanded move that Xu Yang and the Little Flower Fifth Prince had secretly laid out before taking action.
The reason for this is to prevent Xu Yang in the sword lodge in the middle of the brilliant, the various princes and lords all unanimous to push the old five to the position of the target.
As expected, it had to be recognized that Xu Yang really was a brilliant plan, and early on, with the help of the powerful method of disguise, the scout among the Eight Sect team who had been slow to show up inside the Sword Lodge was made to look like the Third Prince.
This time, the scout appeared in the disguise of the Third Prince, immediately attracted the unanimous attention of the various princes and lords of his attitude, and vaguely was able to decide the final pattern shape of the various princes and lords of today.
”Sixth brother, you’ve misunderstood your fifth brother, if it wasn’t for him arriving at Fairview Villa in time, I’m afraid that all of you would have never seen me again today!
Just a month ago, that was when I had just gotten the invitation letter from the Sword Sect.
A group of very powerful and mysterious swordsmen broke into the Fairview Villa and massacred my Fairview Villa’s disciples and disciples, they seemed to know the inner workings of the Villa like the back of their hands, and each one of them performed a variety of sword paths, and they were also masked, so I couldn’t tell their true identities at all.
One of these very powerful fellows even seriously injured me, and if it wasn’t for Fifth Brother showing up in time with these pals of his, there would really be no way for your Third Brother and I to meet you again.”
Hearing his third brother utter such words, Old Six was shaken with rage on the spot, raising his hand to point at the Fourth Prince above the high platform, who was still crowning a load of nonsense.
”So all of this is your layout, you take advantage of today’s birthday of your mother’s consort as well as the Sword Sect’s questioning of the sword, widely inviting the world’s group of heroes to come to you within this Sword Sect, one to collect people’s hearts and minds, and two for the extermination of your compatriots, that’s your real purpose, isn’t it!”
Obviously Lao Liu said such words to Lao Si, which is equivalent to him completing the advance team, so that the nominal seven princes and lords, Lao Liu, Lao Qi, as well as this scouts posing as Lao San, are all categorized into the camp of the Fifth Prince.
The only two left without a war team is the eldest prince and the second prince two groups of people, the two princes and marquis looked at each other, although the delay did not take a position, but from their eyes can be seen in the hearts of these two people probably already have an answer.
With their influence within the imperial dynasty nowadays, the only thing that could make them feel scornful in terms of power was, I’m afraid, only the Sword Sect behind the fourth prince.
Now that the other four brothers are joining hands to fight against the Sword Sect, then the best choice for them is undoubtedly to follow in the footsteps of the Fifth Prince, in this way, if they are victorious, they will also be able to promote good relations with the other brothers, and will also be able to get a piece of the pie in the Sword Sect.
Even if Father’s side blamed them, there would still be the oldest five alone to hold the thunder in front of them.
For the oldest and second oldest, joining the fifth prince’s camp was undoubtedly beneficial and harmless.
On the other hand, if they chose to take the risk and help the Sword Sect’s lineage against the Fifth Prince’s camp, not to mention the others, just the one above the blood pool, Xu Yang, who was working miracles, would be enough to deter the Boss and the Oldest Two’s lineages.
Thus how shrewd and calculating were people like them?
In such a situation, choosing an optimal item was not a difficult task for the two of them.
Without a doubt, the Fifth Prince was their best choice.
Sure enough right after Older Sixth announced his position, Older Boss also let out a sigh of amazement, pretending to look like he hated the situation.
”O fourth brother, I know that your heart has always longed for Father’s approval, but there’s no need for you to do something so extreme, today, in front of the world’s crowd, you’ve sort of disgraced our Central Region Royalty!
I, as the Grand Prince of the Central Domain Royal Dynasty, your elder brother, if I see you with such a heart of mischief, going astray and still ignoring it, I, as the elder brother, am ultimately somewhat remiss in my duties.”
Obviously the big prince said some words to say the position is also clear again, as for the side of the second prince also just cold snort, what are not necessary to say, directly will bring their own a few of the top guards, all towards the side of the big prince close.
The so-called elder brother is like a father, the second prince’s best choice is naturally to listen to his elder brother’s certainly not wrong.
In this way, the fourth prince became the target of all, and the end was set.
The initial plan arranged by Xu Yang and the Fifth Prince was also finally realized perfectly in the middle of this Sword Sect.
”Hahaha, I say that disciple these brothers of yours are really good at scheming!
My Sword Sect was founded to seek the welfare of the world’s cultivators, but now, under their joint arrangement, my Sword Sect has become an unfaithful disciple who is in league with your so-called rebellious son of the imperial dynasty?
This is simply one of the biggest jokes that I have heard in all the years that I have lived, even black can be turned into white, and white can be said to be black, is this the ability of your royal princes and lords from all walks of life?”
Hearing such a wave of rhythm-carrying from Jian Yunqing, the Fourth Prince immediately understood and knew what to do next, only to see that he stood proudly between the high platforms, letting Xu Yang go for the time being, and instead swept his own gaze towards those who had already completed their questioning of the sword world’s group of heroes ahead of time.
”Gentlemen, my Sword Sect lineage is righteous and has stretched over ten thousand years, I believe that you all are well aware of what kind of appeal and status the Seven Extremities Mountain’s prestige has in the entire Yingzhou Continent.
Today, I can’t help it that my family is unfortunate, my brothers of these princes and lords actually joined hands, wanting to overthrow the inheritance of my Sword Sect lineage, fearing that I will threaten their power and status.
I wonder if the various heroes would be willing to help me?
””Hahaha, that’s natural, originally we as outsiders had no qualifications to participate in your family affairs, let alone the family affairs of the royal family.
But nowadays right and wrong, black and white, have their own public judgment in the eyes of us jianghu people.
What’s more, we only owe you the fourth prince’s favor, not their other princes and lords, what kind of fights will happen in your family in the future has nothing to do with us.
However, today, we have just finished asking for swords and have yet to step out of the Sword Sect, if at this very moment the various princes and lords intend to besiege the Fourth Prince, then we, the fellow jianghu practitioners, will definitely not stand on the sidelines, even if we have to pay a great price, we will definitely help the prince!”
The leader of this guy was the head of a certain sword alliance in the southwest region, and was also a person with great status in the field of sword dao, listening to him yell, beside him, many of these swordsmen who clutched the ancient divine weapons in the sword furnace in their hands, one by one, they were also filled with righteous indignation, and inspired by the strong sword qi of the ancient divine weapons in their hands, they awakened the blood of battle within their bodies, and each of them let out a deafening cry.
”Defend the honor of the Sword Sect!”
Such a few big words were continuously shouted out from the mouths of the various groups of heroes within the Sword Sect, unexpectedly, at this very moment Xu Yang violently opened his eyes that were releasing a golden light, the entire person was still sitting cross-legged within the Blood Pool of the Sword Lodge, but his powerful influence had already enveloped every corner of the entire Sword Furnace Inner Hall with every breath he took in.
