Both of his personal bodyguards were just about to inform Lin Qianli after Ye Rong gave his orders, when Xue Tong's ears suddenly twitched, and his facial expression changed.
“Someone enters the valley!”
Ye Rong's face became extremely cold. His two personal bodyguards were dead and had been following him since he was young. They took positions on his left and right, protecting Ye Rong behind them.
The other team members also immediately gathered after hearing these words.
Lin Qianli, in the middle of the hunt for spirit beasts, seemed to have sensed the danger as well. He ran back into the team with some restrictions. Everyone in the team gathered on an empty plot of land in the mountain valley.
“Hahaha, this natural labyrinth is indeed small. Number four, who would have thought we brothers would meet here, in this place.” Ye Dai led the way and stepped in with large strides through the entrance.
A large group of people followed behind him. He originally had nine people on his team, not to mention the eight members of the third prince Ye Zheng.
The combined teams numbered seventeen.
Of these seventeen people, there was one second-rate spirit realm practitioner and three people in the first level on Ye Dai's side, whereas Ye Zheng also had one first-rate spirit realm practitioner.
There were also four half-step spirit realm practitioners in addition to that.
Spirit realm practitioners and half-step spirit realm practitioners combined, there were nine practitioners in the – spirit realm more than half of their team.
The other eight, including Ye Dai and Ye Zheng, were all at the peak of true Qi, and their fighting abilities were not weak.
As Ye Rong saw Ye Dai and Ye Zheng walking together, inwardly he became resolute.
“Sister, don't interact again later. We're hunting spirit beasts here, you didn't mean to interfere blatantly, did you?”
Ye Rong smiled. “This spirit beast has a very high level of training. Our team cannot handle it. You happen to have many people and experts, maybe you can try it.”
Ye Dai looked at Ye Rong with a conceited smile.
“Stop pretending to be number four. Do you think we came to this valley to steal spirit beasts from you?” Ye Zheng asked with a cold smile.
“Third sister, what do you mean?” Ye Rong's face darkened.
“Don't you think this mountain valley is peaceful and quiet, and the view is good? That should be a great place to be your final resting place, right?” Ye Ye sneered.
“Kakak, is this your goal coming?” Ye Rong looked at Ye Dai.
Ye Dai smiled faintly, “Number four, if you are as honest and well-behaved as before, and do not cause trouble and cause confusion, I will not bully you. However, you started acting up, and continuously defied me. You even hardened your heart in the capital to fight me for the sake of being the center of attention. Tell me, how should I look at you?”
“Big brother, you and I both have the bloodline of our royal father, and therefore competition must be fair among us, brother. Or, as the eldest brother, you don't even have the tolerance to accept sibling rivalry?”
“Healthy competition? What right do you have to compete with me? I, Ye Dai, am the eldest son of a direct lineage. My mother's side has been an officer for three generations, and our family's power is second only to that of the king. Countless opportunities have been waiting for me since birth. I have been destined to take over the position of our royal father. My every move had been planned and paved, bringing me closer to the dragon throne. You are the one born of a little concubine. What do you have, other than half of our father's blood? What right do you have to compete with me?”
There are no outsiders here, and they are not in the capital. Ye Dai decided to reveal everything, and no longer pretended.
“Sister, is this your qualification theory? If you are destined to take the position of our royal father from birth, then what use are we princes?”
“You are all there just because he wants to satisfy a momentary animalistic urge!” Ye Dai did not even respect his royal father at this time.
When Ye Zheng heard these words, a shadow also briefly appeared on his face. However, he kept it neatly and hid it.
“This means you have decided today to kill me?” Ye Rong said coldly.
“You're right. However, since we are brothers, I can give you a chance to kill yourself.” Ye Dai smiled sinisterly. “If you wait for us to move, you will be in pain. I promise you that I will not give you an easy death.”
"good. You are the son of our royal father, alright. You pretend to be a high moral person, okay. Ye Dai, I've seen you!”
“Haha, so what if you already know me? What is the difference if you hide your real identity well? All of your previous poses were useless in the face of absolute power. I just need to wave my hand now to destroy you completely.”
Ye Rong's gaze was fixed on Ye Zheng. “Number three, you are the accomplice, but have you ever thought that my circumstances today will be your circumstances tomorrow? Do you think he'll let you sleep well by his bedside?”
Ye Zheng laughed out loud, “Number four, do you think trying to pit our sheep will work this time? I have absolutely no interest in the position of Crown Prince. I also admit that I lost to our brother in many ways, what to compete with? Since I can't compete with him, I'd better behave well in this situation, and play my part well. Those who adapt their actions to time are wise. You simply do not recognize the moments when you see it.”
Ye Dai nodded his head in admiration, obviously very pleased with Ye Zheng's statement.
Ye Rong sighed lightly, looked at Lin Qianli, and then looked at his two personal bodyguards.
Lin Qianli said weakly, “Don't look at me, you value me as one of the best in the kingdom, and this is how I return your favor. I won't leave you when you need it.”
“We will protect the fourth prince to death!” Both of his personal bodyguards also had firm tones.
Xue Tong sighed and grasped the bow of Xue Sha, doing a fighting pose to the death.
“Ye Rong, are you really going to keep putting up a tough fight? Floundering desperately on the verge of death?” Ye Dai shouted.
“Ye Dai, I can die if you want me dead. However, these guys don't have much to do with me, and just temporarily form a team with me. Why can't you just love it?”
“Haha, number four, are you still doing a cliche act of false virtue at a time like this? Do you think I'll be touched by you and let them go?”
Ye Dai's face turned dark. “Do not be naive. Following you is their original sin, the death penalty! I'll ask you one last time. Will you kill yourself, or wait for me to help you?”
Ye Rong's expression was full of sadness. “Everyone, to think that I have dragged you down with me this time.don't mind me when the battle begins, come out if you can.”
“Xue Tong, clear mind. If you can escape in the heat of battle, look for Jiang Chen. Find Miss Dan Fei!”
Xue Tong let out a light sigh. It seemed impossible to escape, judging from the other party's posture.
“Fourth Prince, there is no point in saying anything now. We fight for our lives.” A stern expression fighting for his life appeared on Xue Tong's face.
Fight for their lives!
Ye Rong took out his long sword and shouted wholeheartedly, “Ye Dai, you have always made yourself a heaven-favored person, and praised yourself for being better than us. Do you have the guts to face me? Otherwise, even if you win over me by a greater amount, not only will I not accept this defeat, nor will the other princes.”
“One on one? Do you think you deserve it?” Ye Dai paid no heed to Ye Rong, and gave the order in a clear voice, “Anyone who kills him and takes his head will be made ruler of tens of thousands of people when I ascend the throne in the future!”
Ye Zheng also shouted, “Do not let anyone live, kill them all!”
Right at that time—
Clap the clap!
An applause suddenly sounded from the bushes in the mountain valley.
"Who's there?" The fight was just about to start when it was stopped by a sudden ear-piercing applause. All the gazes looked towards that voice.
Two figures dashed out from the bushes and landed amongst Ye Rong's team.
One of them smiled mockingly at – Jiang Chen. The other one was expressionless, and looking far away, frost covered his face. Who was that besides Dan Fei?
“Jiang Chen?” A look of disbelief emerged from Ye Dai's eyes as he also sent an angry look towards Liu Can from the Northern Palace. “Didn't you say you keep an eye on them, and they're nowhere near you?”
Liu Can's eyes were also filled with a ghost-like expression.
How...how is this possible? He must have detected that they were nowhere near him. How could they appear here, after disappearing for two, three days? And how did they find Ye Rong's team?
“The first prince, they were actually not on Ye Rong's team before. Could they have met him by chance?” Liu Can explained with a sour expression.
“Useless garbage!” Ye Dai cursed lowly.
Had Dan Fei appeared, not only would Ye Dai not be angry, but he was actually also quite happy. However, adding Jiang Chen into the mix along with Dan Fei's appearance, made the situation completely different.
He could also defeat Jiang Chen if he appeared. This is an amazing development that only he can hope for.
But with Dan Fei, even though Ye Dai was cruel, he always maintained a respectful, fearful, and licked attitude. To kill Dan Fei as well. This was something that he could not decide immediately.
“Liu Can, stop pretending. You purposely left many clues along the way so that I could follow you. Don't you want me to find you a lot?”
Liu Can's expression changed drastically. “Jiang Chen, don't you dare make baseless accusations. When did I leave a clue, and since when did I intentionally lure you here?”
Jiang Chen smiled without saying a word. He had naturally not followed Liu Can's directions, but had left a certain powder on Liu Can that allowed him to follow the scent and walk over here.
He deliberately said this clearly, to make things difficult for Liu Can, and to create trouble between Liu Can and Ye Dai.
It was true, Ye Dai's face became extremely cold upon hearing these words. “What do you mean by this Liu Can? Could it be that you deliberately lured them here?”
Liu Can panicked, “First Prince, you believe his nonsense?”
“Liu Can, you dare to do what you do, but do not dare to admit it? Didn't you lure me here so that there would be a fight between the balanced forces, so you made a profit even without working for it?”
Liu Can swore loudly, “Jiang Chen, you son of a bitch! I'm not a strange prince, what does it mean to benefit without working for it?”
""Who knows? Perhaps you have been under the banner of the second prince Ye Qiao? Perhaps the scene today was something created by the second prince Ye Qiao?” Jiang Chen chuckled.
Ye Dai's expression became even uglier as his gaze on Liu Can grew colder!
