Qin Kingdom
After judging what the Third Prince looked like with just all of the treasures, not long after that the sound of the door being opened was heard.
A person accompanied by two strong cultivators was seen.
The five of them instantly stood up as they did not want to make a bad impression with the Third Prince. Even Yi Yun understood such a thing that he only pretended to welcome the Prince.
Yi Yun looked at the handsome young man with an extremely arrogant face. His clothes look very luxurious and reflect his very nature of being crazy about treasures.
But Yi Yun was a little surprised that the Third Prince's cultivation level had reached the fifth stage Earth Realm level just like Wang Shu and Ye Mo.
From that, Yi Yun understood that there was still time to determine who would be the next King of the Qin Kingdom.
“Third Prince Greetings.” said Wang Shu, Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan clasping their hands together.
“No need formalities, please sit.” The Third Prince spoke with a smile on his face as he glanced towards Yi Yun as he was the one he had actually recruited although he was slightly surprised by the presence of Wang Shu and Ye Mo as of course he knew previously, his twin brother often traveled with the two people.
But when he recalled about the Three who had never been together again for many years, he made a prediction that their relationship had broken even though he was still wary at this time.
Yi Yun, Wang Shu, Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan sat down. The Third Prince sat down while his two bodyguards remained standing at the back.
Without even examining him, Yi Yun knew for sure that the two bodyguards were extremely strong Sky Realm level cultivators. At least reached the fourth stage.
“So, did you guys accept my offer?” Asked the Third Prince with a smile on his face and gazed towards Yi Yun then continued, “I will provide valuable resources for him to quickly increase his cultivation. But one thing you need to know. If working under me, you are already tied up because of the many important information you will get and it is very sensitive.”
“Before we agree to join, we also have our offer to you, Third Prince.” Wang Shu also opened his voice.
The Third Prince raised his eyebrows and spoke, “What offer?”
“Have you ever heard of a historical relic of the past that used seven key fragments merged into one to open a particular site?” Ask Wang Shu.
The Third Prince's eyes widened hearing him. Of course he would never forget that there was such information because he also wanted to find out whether it was true or not. If it is a historical relic as recorded in existing history, then, he certainly will not miss the opportunity if there is something related to the heritage or maybe more precisely the price of Karun in his eyes.
“You mean, you have information about that place?” The Third Prince asked in surprise.
“Not only that, we also have some information about anyone who holds a key shard entering the place of such history.” Wang Shu replied with a smile on her face.
“What did you say? That key fragment has been found by some people?” The Third Prince asked even more surprised. He was very aware of it because he knew one of them as well.
“Yes. That key right now that I know of is in the three powerful groups. And one of the groups has three key pieces.” Wang Shu nodded small.
The Third Prince was petrified on the spot. He immediately calculated if it was three groups, then the number of keys there are already five. Smiles also covered his face.
“So, what do you want in exchange for that information? I know that you only came here not to accept my offer before. But you want me to do something and it is beyond your means, with my help, you will be able to achieve it.” The Third Prince did not beat around. Even though he may be a crazy person, he is still a smart person and able to judge something.
“As expected of the Third Prince. You know exactly what our purpose is. I'll be frank at this time, we want you to reduce the number of the key owners' troops by hand that you want to seize the key because they didn't say find the key to the Qin Kingdom, though the key can be said to be the legacy that exists in the Qin.” Kingdom, said Wang Shu.
The Third Prince's eyes widened and a smile was seen at the corner of his lips. He certainly thought of another plan when he heard Wang Shu's explanation.
“Oh? It seems that this fellow did give me a way to ascend to the throne, of course I understand why he asked for help to, to, it was because I had the strongest army than my brother and it would make the destruction of their enemies easier. This is a situation of equal cooperation. I have to investigate first and move, if it is true that one of the groups has three pieces of keys, it is fine to exterminate them because they have made a crime by hiding the keys.” The Third Prince's.
“If what you say is true, I do not mind at all wiping out one of them to threaten the other for having made such a crime.” said the Third Prince.
“If you say it like that, it will not be difficult at all.” Wang Shu agreed.
The Third Prince gave a small nod then flicked his finger. “Bring cooperation contract.”
Zhep!
One of the bodyguards appeared beside the Third Prince and took out a paper that had the logo of the Qin Kingdom. It was a form of cooperation sign that was often used and had a fingerprint signature using blood to cooperate.
The Third Prince did not waste any time and took out a writing instrument like a bird feather and wrote with a quick snahat.
It was not until two minutes, the Third Prince finished and pushed the paper towards Wang Shu.
Wang Shu understood that the Third Prince was currently not joking at all because it seemed that the Third Prince was eager to enter the historical relics or whatever it was.
“We would like to add terms to your Third Prince. It's about one key exchange we have even though we're currently keeping it in a safe place.” Wang Shu asked for something else again.
The Prince's eyes widened like a ping pong ball knowing that a great advantage had come to him.
“Say!” the Third Prince said directly.
The Third Prince fell silent for a moment and rethought the pros and cons. When measuring Wang Shu's group, he instantly agreed because their level of strength did not even reach the Sky Realm. It was something that needed to be on the lookout for at the moment because he had many subordinates of the Sky Realm level.
The Third Prince did not speak anymore and immediately rewrote the additional terms he had to fulfill. Of course the consequence of deceiving him was death itself which made him not worry at all.
After he finished writing, the Third Prince again gave the paper to Wang Shu.
Reading everything when receiving the paper, made Wang Shu nod small as all the requirements were to his liking.
“Good. I agree.” Wang Shu put hard back on the table.
Without wasting any time, the Third Prince cut a bit of his skin on his thumb and then stuck it onto the hard. It was the same for Wang Shu, after the Third Prince finished, he did the same.
“Good, cooperation has been completed. Tell me where the key is.” said the Third Prince because he already felt that Wang Shu must have brought him.
Wang Shu looked towards Ye Mo and Ye Mo took out a stone fragment that anyone knew that there were seven such parts that would form a round stone.
“This is indeed the key! It seems that you guys are not lying at all.” said the Third Prince in a pleased tone then picked up the stone and examined it closely.
“Good, since you guys didn't lie to me, then the next condition. I'll move right away and tell which group should be reduced the amount of their strength.” Continue the Third Prince and store the stone into his space ring.
“This is the Han clan. They are the ones who have the other three pieces.” replied Wang Shu directly.
“Ha-ha-ha! It seems so easy. I didn't expect your target to be the Han clan that has three key pieces. This leaves me with no problems at all as they hide three keys at once!” The Third Prince let out a laugh as he was very happy at this moment. He felt that Wang Shu's group had come indeed to deliver Karun's treasure to him.
“Next, say the other two groups using the key. I will be kind this time and will probably destroy the Han clan since your target turns out to be the group that holds three keys!” said the Third Prince in a pleased tone.
Ye Mo stiffened slightly and raised the corner of his lips. Of course he actually wanted to destroy the Han clan by himself. But, even so, he currently understood that it was not possible at all and borrowing the hands of others to destroy the Han clan was no problem at all according to him. Ye Zhong and Ye Quan of course thought the same thing as Ye Mo. Their goal was of course to see the Han clan annihilated for having exterminated their clan for the same. And this time, the Han clan would be destroyed because the key was also in the hands of the Third Prince.
Wang Shu immediately explained the other two power groups.
“Hm? The Demon Sword Sect? It's pretty hard. If so, I will move immediately. I certainly have a way to make them after taking the four keys that are there. And with one key in my hand, there are five of them. And of course the sixth key was in the hands of the Demon Sword Sect, and the seventh key was currently in the hands of the Qin Kingdom! Ha-ha-ha!” The Third Prince let out a laugh at this moment as he already knew where all the key pieces were.
Wang Shu, Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan were shocked by what the Third Prince said. But, with that they were aware that the Third Prince would definitely make a move straight away.
“Hey, take the guests to their residence, and you, prepare the troops, after the meeting with the members of the Sect and clan, we will move.” The Third Prince's orders with a happy smile.
“Good!” The two Third Prince's bodyguards nodded.
“Follow me the guests.” Said one of the guards.
Wang Shu nodded and picked up the contract paper as it was the one who had to hold it.
The Third Prince did not care at all because he was currently in a good heart.
“If so, we say retreat to the Third Prince.” Wang Shu said while holding both hands the same as for Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan.
The Third Prince simply waved his hand. Right now, he did not care much anymore about Yi Yun as he had already gotten a shortcut to ascending to the throne of being the King of the Qin Kingdom.
Yi Yun only glanced at the Third Prince then shook his head in a feeling that the person was taking things too lightly.
But Yi Yun did not care at all and thought of a way to increase his strength. Right now, he was thinking back, what exactly was the legacy, if that place could give him a great opportunity of course he would not miss the opportunity to enter it.
The Third Prince's bodyguards escorted them to a building not too far from where the Third Prince was.
“Please wait here until what the Third Prince does is done. We'll call you when the time comes. It will likely not arrive in two weeks everything will be finished.” said the Guard.
“Good.” Wang Shu nodded small.
The Third Prince's bodyguards left immediately afterward.
“I did not expect that the Qin Kingdom would have one key that was never found. It seems our plan will go smoothly. But, what are we going to do on Second Pangean?” Ye Mo spoke as he entered the residence.
Wang Shu who was sitting on the chair immediately replied, “No matter what. He ignored both of us. Even when he was in the Arena he was certainly aware of our existence but even to see us he did not have time. Which means, he's cut ties with us. But we see again how it goes if we meet him again.”
“If it is like that, we just need to wait for the moment. Alright, I will start cultivating back within the allotted time. Call me when the time to enter the place has come. If there really is something valuable, I will try to seize it as well.” Yi Yun waved his hand and went to one of the rooms to cultivate.
“The boy is the same as the Third Prince, equally crazy with treasures but he is more dangerous.” Wang Shu shook his head hearing what Yi Yun said.
Ye Mo, Ye Zhong and Ye Quan only nodded with a long sigh. They also began to take the other room as well to start cultivating because they felt they needed more strength at this time.
