The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 203

Dan Fei's intelligent eyes looked at Jiang Chen, a thin smile on her face, “Do you think just because you and the lordmaster are like-minded then all heroes are like-minded?”    

Jiang Chen rubbed his nose, “You've already said it for me, what else can I say? To be honest, I don't really care who the Crown Prince is or who the king is. After all, I am the fourth prince's guest, and must do something for him. Besides, from my point of view, he as the Crown Prince is better than Ye Dai who is in that position, right?”    

Jiang Chen's voice suddenly stopped, “Why aren't you surprised by those who kill each other? Do you think it will happen long ago?”    

Dan Fei showed a smile full of wisdom, “Now I guessed it a long time ago, but master master has guessed it a long time ago. Talks regarding the Crown Prince's position at the beginning of next year are actually deliberate leaks and endorsed by the Lordmaster. He wants to take advantage of this to observe and learn everyone's reactions.”    

“This inspection seems a bit big, isn't it a bit difficult to stop it now?” Jiang Chen smiled.    

“Why is this considered big? Everything under control.” Dan Fei smiled in response.    

“What made you say that? They will take action. Once the massacre began, who knew how many could survive?”    

“If only one makes it out, then he is the Crown Prince. If everyone survived unscathed, then Ye Rong was the Crown Prince. As simple as that.”    

“Does this mean you have long decided that it is Ye Rong?” Jiang Chen was a little surprised.    

Dan Fei shook her head and smiled mysteriously, “It's not like we've decided Ye Rong for a long time. This conclusion was only reached after the Skylaurel Royal Medal was given to you at the lordmaster.” birthday party    

“Eh, I ordered that much face?” Jiang Chen was a bit embarrassed. He did not participate in the fight between princes at all. Could it be that he could influence who the Crown Prince was, just by participating in the birthday party, recklessly giving gifts at random, and answering difficult questions? This..this is too ridiculous!    

“Do not hesitate, Lordmaster never wrong in judging people. Although not yet spoken clearly, but the intent is still quite clear. Anyone who has Jiang Chen by his side will get the position of Crown Prince.”    

“King can agree to such terms? Can he sit still while his sons kill each other?”    

Dan Fei sighed. “Jiang Chen, if I say that you are naive, you are actually slippery beyond belief. If I say you are cunning and cunning, sometimes you are also quite naive. In order to reach the position of king, who among them did not kill his own brother? You even know that ape spirits will fight and kill each other so that in the end only one is left alive. Do you really think that the rules of survival in the emperor house are softer than the rules in the spirit beast world?”    

Jiang Chen smiled handsomely. This is true.    

Wasn't there a rumor that said that the previous king of the Eastern Kingdom, Eastern Lu, had colluded against the previous Crown Prince, Crown Prince Eastern Jun, and only ascended the throne after the Crown Prince's death? Given that it already existed, it made sense that something similar existed in the Skylaurel Kingdom as well.    

Guo Jin's father has been dragged into the matter, and as a result the entire Guo family goes into a drastic slump and falls into ruin.    

If Ye Rong was superior enough to come out alive from this forest legal situation, it meant that he could stand the test, and that he had the potential to become a king, he said, it doesn't matter if it's power, breadth of vision, or luck.    

On the contrary, if he were to die from this little rivalry, even though his talent exceeded those above him, he would still not have enough wealth and luck to become a king.    

They then had no other choice but to second best. The law of the jungle will determine who comes out alive and who becomes king.    

When his mind finally flowed smoothly, Jiang Chen smiled, “Saudari Dan Fei, I cannot sit still because I am experiencing this. After all, I am still the fourth prince's guest. When his employer is humiliated, his people seek death.”    

Dan Fei smiled charmingly, “Don't act like that to me. Do you think I can't say that you're not one of those subjects that has high principles?”    

Jiang Chen stepped forward quickly on the mountain path, with Dan Fei quickly following after. “You made a ruckus with festive. Aren't you afraid of being caught and silenced by them?”    

“Don't I have you, so pretty? I believe, even though they have already lost judgment, they will not do anything to you!”    

“You overestimated my attractiveness. Women are just a decoration of life in the eyes of men. How many emperors from ancient times did not love the land and women?”    

Jiang Chen laughed out loud. “No wonder you spoke frankly to those princes. You've seen it for a long time.”    

Dan Fei said angrily, “Stop talking nonsense. Jiang Chen, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?”    

“Do I really need to tell you that? Of course." Jiang Chen smiled. “Do not worry, I will be able to find them one step before they can find me.”    

He would anticipate the enemy's movements, and find traces of other moves before they found him!    

Although Dan Fei did not know why Jiang Chen was so confident, she could not doubt him in the slightest when she looked at him confidently.    

Jiang Chen did not follow behind Ye Dai and the others. Instead, he quickly headed to the southeast.    

Since he knew that Ye Rong and the others were about fifty li towards the southeast, Jiang Chen would naturally not stay idle, and headed towards the mountain valley at full speed.    

Ye Dai and the others still had to make preparations before meeting up. Jiang Chen was quite confident that he could get to the mountain valley before them.    

It was true, Jiang Chen and Dan Fei made it to the mountain valley in just fifteen minutes.    

There was the first prince scout at the entrance of the mountain valley. Jiang Chen brought Dan Fei in a circle past the eyes and ears of the scouts, and slipped into the mountain valley.    

“Jiang Chen, are we going to meet them or..?”    

“Do not find them first, to avoid rash actions and make the enemy wary. If the fourth prince knew we were here, the formation would change, and it would be easily captured by the scouts.”    

Dan Fei was daydreaming as she nodded.    

“How much of your Mind Enchantment Powder is left?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.    

“Only three bottles.” Dan Fei took down her inventory.    

Jiang Chen had incredible potential in the pill field, and was naturally quite proficient in using poison. He has done a lot of preparation.    

He had two or three choices for items similar to Mind Enchantment Powder.    

Dan Fei saw Jiang Chen almost putting on a magic show while continuing to take out various bottles and cans. They appeared on his left and right as he placed them around him.    

Jiang Chen quickly set up a perfect trap.    

Cleaning his hands, Jiang Chen smiled. “They're almost there. How about we take cover and wait, so we can watch the show?”    

“Jiang Chen, does this include helping Ye Rong cheat?” Dan Fei's laughter shook.    

“This name makes our position impenetrable. How can this be called cheating? If we really cheat, we will instantly kill Ye Dai. This is just called justified self-defense, okay?”    

…    

There were a total of seven people in Ye Rong's small team. Other than Xue Tong, the remaining six were his own chosen ones.    

However, Xue Tong had unexpectedly brought many surprises to him during this Autumn Hunt, especially during the hunt. Xue Tong's skill in using bows and arrows was incomparable because he was very prominent in his contribution.    

Xue Tong's age was young, yet his mind was very calm. He participated in brainstorming before every hunt, and was always able to find loopholes in his plans. He is able to capture various clues, and is able to knock down his prey with a single punch.    

Ye Rong initially felt that allowing Xue Tong into the team only meant giving face to Jiang Chen. He had not expected that Xue Tong's abilities would be an unexpected advantage.    

In terms of absolute strength, other than Lin Qianli in Ye Rong's team, there were two other guards in the half-step spirit realm.    

The other three, including Xue Tong, were all at the peak of true qi.    

As for Ye Rong himself, his level of strength was also only at the peak of true qi.    

In terms of absolute strength, other than Lin Qianli who was able to defeat Xue Tong powerfully, if the other two half-step spirit realm personal guards were involved in the hunt together with Xue Tong in this labyrinth realm, it would be the case that the other two half-step spirit realm personal guards were involved in the hunt together with Xue Tong in this labyrinth realm, it would be difficult to determine who would come out as the winner in the end.    

“Fourth Prince, this spirit beast is seriously injured, and we have trapped it within the area. Lin Qianli had already gone looking for him, we were sure he would not escape.”    

Ye Rong nodded, “We must not make any mistakes this time. One spirit beast was more precious than a hundred ferocious beasts. The first prince had many spirit realm practitioners on his team this time around. I fear their catch will far surpass us in this Fall Hunt.”    

There was still a hint of envy in Ye Rong's tone. The first prince had a good birth, and had an impressive background. His network was vast, and he could easily call upon a spirit realm practitioner—even a Precious Tree sect disciple.    

Although Ye Rong was also acquainted with the disciples of the Precious Tree Sect, it was impossible to expect them to work hard on his behalf.    

In the end, his foundation was still low, and he did not have enough background or connections.    

Ye Rong sighed in his heart. If Jiang Chen had not been reassigned by Dan Fei's sister this time, he would definitely have had hopes of playing for the championship in the Autumn Hunt this time around.    

But now --    

He can only try his best. Despite information that the Crown Prince will be finalized in January, Ye Rong does not believe that a single Autumn Hunt alone is enough to determine everything.    

However, he also could not be complacent. At least he should show a proactive attitude.    

Xue Tong walked over at this moment. “Fourth Prince, this mountain valley is narrow, and the entrance and exit are also quite narrow. This area is a bit strange.”    

“Xue Tong, are you worried about something?” Ye Rong's greatest advantage was that he was adept at listening to the opinions of his troops, and he could easily understand the intentions of his subordinates.    

“Your men are worried that someone is deliberately manipulating spirit beasts to bring us here. Otherwise, how could we be lucky to meet a randomly injured spirit beast? And, the plains were quite vast, why would he have to flee to a quiet valley with no way out?”    

“You think someone deliberately manipulated it?”    

"Yes. Your men just checked the terrain. There was only one entrance to this mountain valley and one exit. We darted in as if we were running into a cloth bag.” Although Xue Tong was not one of Ye Rong's men, he was still willing to reveal what was on his mind because they were on the same team.    

Ye Rong pondered for a moment. After spending a few days together, he actually did not hesitate anymore with Xue Tong's analysis. He was actually a bit superstitious about it.    

In terms of strength, Lin Qianli and the others in the spirit realm were naturally stronger than Xue Tong. However, in terms of observation, assessment, and analysis skills, Xue Tong was truly the best in his class.    

“Fourth Prince, there will still be a chance if we don't manage to hunt down this spirit beast. However, our team cannot gamble. If we are surrounded in this valley, we will never be able to get out. And in case of a massacre here, the outside world will never know.”    

Xue Tong had already spoken very clearly.    

Ye Rong's face changed as she was finally moved. “Deliver my orders, surrender in the hunt. Leave the valley immediately!”    

After all, he was born from the king's household. He knew the seriousness of the situation after connecting many points into one.    

How was the Autumn Hunt in the Labyrinth Realm not a fight between princes? Although it is clearly described that murder is not allowed, the rules are dead and only people are alive.    

Xue Tong's words made Ye Rong aware of this possibility.
