Chapter 437: Prince of the Scaled Dragon Clan

When the second prince in red robe saw the emperor praising him, he glanced around proudly, and his eyes deliberately stopped on the eldest prince.

The golden-robed eldest prince only looked at the second prince for a moment, then walked away with a deliberate smile.

The second prince in red robe said with disdain in his heart: "Thankfully you are still the eldest prince. You don't have any arrogance as a king. You were just born a year earlier than me. Why are you the eldest prince? My father is old, so I should take the throne." ”

The eldest prince in gold robes did not want to compete head-on with the second prince in red robes, and said with disdain in his heart: "Second brother, you rely on your stronger force to become domineering among your brothers. But if you want to get the approval of your father, you can't just rely on brute force. ”

None of the other princes made a sound, they just stood and listened quietly.

Especially the fourth prince deliberately avoided the eyes of the second prince. Last time, the second prince broke three of his ribs on the pretext of sparring. At the moment, not only are the bones not fully healed, but the dark energy left in the body still occasionally attacks, causing bursts of pain in the chest. Unable to hold back, he coughed twice.

"Fourth, I see that you are feeling a little unwell. Do you have something wrong? I will arrange for the last doctor to give you a good look. As my father's son, each of you is my heart and soul." The great emperor saw the fourth child. The prince coughed and expressed concern.

The fourth prince responded quickly: "Father has many things to do, but my son has made him worried. I just felt a little cold, and I couldn't hold it back and coughed twice. It's nothing serious. I should recover after going back and resting for two days."

The Great Emperor nodded and said: "That's good. Except for Lao Ba, you are still too young to be useful, while Lao Qi is still recuperating after his horn was broken and is not easy to go out. I know that as my sons, you are all the proud ones of heaven. . Now that I am older, my position as crown prince should be determined as soon as possible. "

Having said this, the emperor paused deliberately and looked at the reactions of the six princes in the audience.

The second prince in red robe looked around and saw that no one expressed his position. He snorted softly, then took half a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "My son is not talented, but I am willing to share the worries of my father, the East China Sea Grand Palace and the Linjiao Clan. "

Seeing the second prince's statement, the other princes said in unison: "We are willing to share your father's worries."

The Great Emperor stroked his beard with one hand and said with satisfaction: "Very good. The future master of the Grand Palace should be more responsible and domineering than me. I know that secretly, you are also competing with each other for the position of crown prince. This It's also a good thing. If you can't compete with your own brothers, how can you compete with the hundreds of people in the East China Sea in the future? How can you protect the East China Sea Grand Palace? But after all, we are our brothers, so we can only compete openly and don't hurt the harmony. "

After hearing this, the golden-robed eldest prince realized that as the eldest son, it was time for him to express his stance. He quickly replied: "We will definitely abide by my father's teachings. As the eldest prince, I will definitely set an example for the other brothers."

The second prince in red robe grabbed the words and said: "Setting an example also depends on ability. Father, the matter of capturing the soul of the rain demon will be on my shoulders."

The Great Emperor did not answer immediately. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He looked at the six princes in the audience, and then said: "This time, I will give you a few opportunities for open competition. Whoever can take back the Rain Demon Soul with his own hands, Returning the seal to the Grand Palace is a great achievement, and I will give it priority to the future crown prince."

When the second prince in red robe heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he thought to himself: "Robbing things relies on force. Among this group of brothers, no one can compete with me. The position of crown prince belongs to me."

"My son is also willing to go." The golden-robed prince finally expressed his stance.

The great emperor smiled and nodded, and then encouraged: "Very good, if you want to ascend to the position of crown prince, you must show your ability. This time, everyone has a chance. In addition to the eldest and second eldest son, there are several other princes. No one wants to compete. This time it’s a fair competition and a rare opportunity.”

The fourth prince gently covered his chest with his hand, his cheeks twitched, and he cursed in his heart: "Now that I have been severely injured by the second son, how can I have the ability to fight with him again? Last time, I just didn't obey him in everything. He found an excuse to fight, and he was so ruthless. If he fought with him again this time, he would not take the opportunity to kill me. Except for the second brother, it was the eldest prince and several other brothers. , I’m afraid I can’t fight, so don’t humiliate yourself.”

Thinking of this, the fourth prince said loudly: "Father, I know that I do not have the wisdom of the eldest brother, nor the superior force of the second brother. I voluntarily withdraw from this open competition."

The emperor on the throne not only did not blame him at all, but showed joy on his face and comforted him: "Old Si, you are very honest. People must clearly understand their own abilities, and retreating when faced with difficulties is the way to survive. Taking a step back will open up the world. .very good."

The other three princes, the fifth prince and the sixth prince had no intention of giving up this competition.

They had roughly the same idea. If the domineering second prince becomes the crown prince and naturally ascends to the throne of the Great Emperor in the future, they will not be able to live a good life. In addition, although the eldest prince, who was most capable of competing with the second prince, was kind on the surface, he was also ruthless and ruthless behind the scenes. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity and fight for it with all your strength.

The third prince, fifth prince and sixth prince looked at each other and said in unison: "My son is willing to participate in this competition."

The second prince in red robe glanced at his three brothers and thought: "Three guys who don't know how to live or die. It's fine if the eldest brother fights with me. What can you three losers do to fight with me? When the time comes, don't blame me for beating you as badly as the fourth brother, or even worse."

"In that case, this matter is settled. Tomorrow, the eldest, the second, the third, the fifth and the sixth will set off for Donghe City to assist General Bo Luo to intercept those thieves and wait for an opportunity to strengthen the soul of the rain demon. You must wait for Bo Luo's orders and don't lose your sense of proportion. As for the fourth brother, go back and have a good rest for two days to recover from the cold." The emperor stood up from the throne and said loudly.

"Your son obeys the order." The six princes responded in unison.

...

Three days later.

In Donghe City.

The eldest prince and five other princes came to Donghe City with the emperor's handwritten order. General Bo Luo, the golden armored general, naturally went out of the city to greet them respectfully.

In the main hall of Donghe City.

The five princes and the golden-armored General Bo Luo sat around the long table to discuss the next countermeasures.

The red-robed second prince said impatiently: "General Bo Luo, we have been here for a day, but there is no sign of those thieves. I think it would be better for me to take a few people and go out to Donghe City to fight the enemy. As long as they dare to come, I am sure to take their lives under Donghe City."

"Don't worry, second prince. I have explained the situation of these thieves to several distinguished princes yesterday. They are all difficult characters. The strongest combat power in the East China Sea Palace is the three expedition fleets, but the other two fleets are on missions outside. And it is easy to deal with a well-defended city, but the firepower of the fleet is not very useful to deal with several masters of cultivation. His Majesty the Great Emperor sent several distinguished princes to help me this time. I will naturally give them a chance to take action." Bo Luo said calmly.

"General Bo Luo is right, second brother, don't be too eager to make achievements and go against the will of the emperor. This time, we have to follow General Bo Luo's arrangements." The golden-robed eldest prince said.

The other third prince, fifth prince and sixth prince nodded in agreement.

"Humph!"

The red-robed second prince snorted coldly and did not answer.

"This time, we plan like this..." Bo Luo introduced his plan in detail to several princes.

...

In a simple secret room in Donghe City.

Qingshui Shangren, who was wearing a wide black Taoist robe and a red Taoist crown on his head, was alone in it.

Outside the secret room, two teams of Donghe City soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the tension was self-evident.

"Damn it, that fake monk actually went and released Shark Long. This is great, this Boro is suspicious by nature. Although he didn't point it out, he used the excuse of martial law in the whole city to arrange me here and not allow me to go out at will. It's simply house arrest. If I didn't have the secret order of the Shadow Master, how could this Taoist priest, a dignified evil cultivator from the Zhongyuan Continent, be willing to be imprisoned here by you East Sea barbarians. I would have killed him and left in style." Master Qingshui cursed.

After saying that, he waved his sleeves.

A red shadow flashed by, and the blood monk wearing a bright red monk robe, with a golden incense burner on his head and a dull look appeared.

"Bald, is it boring to stay here?" Master Qingshui asked.

The human puppet "Blood Monk" had a dull look and did not answer.

"Hey, Bald, you are good, but you can't chat with me." Master Qingshui sighed, walked over and patted the blood monk on the shoulder.

A trace of blood flashed in the eyes of the Blood Monk, as if he understood what Master Qingshui said.

"You said, I am an evil cultivator, I come and go freely, when have I ever suffered such grievances, why don't we kill it together. I can use the blood souls of those East Sea barbarians outside to replenish your body." Master Qingshui approached the Blood Monk and whispered.

The Blood Monk stood there, still without answering.

"If you don't answer me, it means you agree."

Master Qingshui glanced at the Blood Monk, and then his consciousness moved.

The Blood Monk said obediently: "Kill it out."

"Very good, just what I want." Master Qingshui showed a proud look at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, the one who answered Master Qingshui just now was just a wisp of his own soul that Master Qingshui had melted into the Blood Monk's body. As a human puppet, the Blood Monk is more like a clone of Master Qingshui.

But what Qingshui Shangren himself did not understand was that the soul of the Blood Monk had clearly been imprisoned by his "corpse-driving" secret method, but he would occasionally speak one or two words.

At first, Qingshui Shangren thought his work had failed. After several attempts, he not only could not get the Blood Monk's answer, but also could not find any clues. After a long time, Qingshui Shangren got used to it. After all, this was the first time he successfully refined the Human Extreme Puppet Talisman Soldier. From the bottom of his heart, Qingshui Shangren still liked his great work very much.

Qingshui Shangren waved his sleeves, his figure was like the wind, and he came to the door in two steps, just about to break through the door and leave.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Qingshui Shangren is here, General Bo Luo invites you."

Qingshui Shangren was stunned, and the interest in killing that had just risen was interrupted, and he murmured: "Boring."

Immediately, he waved his sleeves, and the Blood Monk turned into a red shadow and was taken back into his sleeves.

"I'm here." Qingshui Shangren responded.

With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside.

A non-commissioned officer wearing silver armor and with ordinary appearance came in from outside.

"Master Qingshui, please follow me. Lord Bo Luo invites you." The silver-armored non-commissioned officer said respectfully.

"Lead the way." Master Qingshui raised his head and said with his hands behind his back, with an unruly face of an evil cultivator.

...

Outside Donghe City, the waves are vast.

A small boat is sailing through the waves.

On the boat, Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu, Guigu Changyang and the fire girl Ah Zhu rushed all the way and arrived at the sea outside Donghe City.

"The large castle in the distance should be Donghe City." Looking at the solid city built on the huge islands and reefs on the opposite side of the sea, Ah Zhu, dressed in red, said while comparing it with the sea chart in her hand.

"Fortunately, this Boluo did not set up another golden crystal formation here, which saved a lot of trouble." Xu Yang joked.

"Who cares what formation it is? Even this Donghe City can be demolished together." Guigu Changyang said confidently.

Only Liu Haiyu, dressed in blue, said nothing. He seemed to see Yun Qiaoer, who was still imprisoned, and his eyes were like blue water flashing.
