The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 205

Liu Can panicked, “First Prince, do you not know what kind of person I am, Liu Can? What is the second prince like? He's not even fit to carry your shoes. What kind of future will I have with him?”    

“First prince, don't listen to Jiang Chen chat. That guy is cunning and ingenious, he must be trying to make a split between us.”    

At this moment, the secluded Precious Tree Sect disciple in the second level spirit realm faintly voiced out an excuse.    

Ye Dai started and then immediately understood. "Yes yes. Thank you for the advice of Brother Chen.”    

“Jiang Chen, don't cause a split. So glad you came, all our grudges from the capital will be resolved today!”    

Jiang Chen chuckled. "Recover? If you want to solve the problem, then you must harden your heart to also slaughter your most respected sister, Dan Fei. Otherwise, are you not worried that he will reveal your secret in killing your brothers? If the news comes out, how can you take the throne?”    

This was actually what had most put Ye Dai in conflict at the moment. Jiang Chen had landed a punch on his Achilles heel with a single blow.    

He did have an almost evil possessive desire when it came to Dan Fei.    

However, he was unwilling to sacrifice for Jiang Chen and the throne.    

Except, he knew Dan Fei was different from the others. If another died, any investigation would yield nothing. But if Dan Fei died, old teacher Ye would never give up so easily in her investigation.    

Once the old teacher investigated and followed the trail all the way to him, Ye Dai, he would not be able to keep his head, let alone the throne.    

Dan Fei wasn't just an adopted son or a student of her old teacher. She was the old teacher's psychological sustenance and was more precious than the old master's daughter herself!    

Ye Dai really did not want to kill Dan Fei.    

Emotions flashed across his face, his gaze to Dan Fei's face, Ye Dai said in a hoarse voice, “Saudari Dan Fei, I know you've always been cheated by number four and become more affectionate towards him. Are you really going to set foot in the fight between us brothers and side with Ye Rong?”    

Dan Fei's gaze was far away as she glanced towards Ye Dai. “Ye Dai, I haven't thought of getting involved in a showdown between you brothers before today, nor have I taken sides. However, I am really disappointed with your actions today.”    

“Sister Dan Fei, since ancient times, only the winners are remembered. I have had no other choice since I was born in the royal household. you follow the esteemed teacher and must also know that the legacy of the throne and the surrender of power is never without bloodshed.I do not ask you to help me, I only beg that you remain neutral, I only beg you to remain neutral, pretend you didn't witness today's events. As long as you do, I, Ye Dai, will thank you for the rest of my life. If I take the throne in the future, I will gladly offer myself to share the land with you.”    

“Offer to share the land with me?” Dan Fei smiled with disdain. “Ye Dai, are you sure all the women under heaven care about the little bit of power your family has?”    

“Saudari Dan Fei, being the motherly example of a nation and the mother of a nation is certainly an unparalleled wealth. Moreover, if I unite and form a ruling dynasty through the sixteen neighboring kingdoms in the future, wouldn't the dignity and admiration of being the mother of an entire kingdom bring glory to your ancestors? What other fortune and fortune can match this?”    

That said, Ye Dai's eloquence was admirable. His persuasion brought about his confession of feelings, and subtle temptations.    

Jiang Chen almost wanted to laugh out loud while listening. Ye Dai's eloquence was incredible.    

However, as Ye Dai became more and more excited with his words, Dan Fei's charming face grew darker.    

“Ye Dai, shut your rotten mouth. I don't want your ludicrous comments dirtying my ears.” Dan Fei's face was ice-cold as she spoke coldly.    

“You... did you finally harden your heart to stand by Ye Rong's side?” Ye Dai's eyes were filled with sadness. But the sadness quickly turned into a burning rage. “What good is he? His birth? His method? Or is his political game better than mine? Dan Fei, why do you always have to stand by her side and always help her when she gets into trouble, but always ignore me when I experience it? Dan Fei, I adore you as a goddess, yet you treat me like a pig or a dog?”    

“You think too much. I've already said that I'm not interested in the showdown between you princes.”    

“Alright, since you are not interested, leave immediately. I promise I won't touch you if you swear not to mention things today.”    

Dan Fei's beautiful body remained in place, not moving in the slightest. He did not say anything and just looked at Ye Dai with an indifferent gaze.    

“Are you going or not ?!” Ye Dai growled.    

“I don't want to kill you. If you don't go and don't curse, you force my hand. Dan Fei, don't force me!” Ye Dai was raging like a wild beast.    

“I'm not forcing you to do anything. You are forcing yourself.”    

Ye Dai's eyes suddenly shone with determination. “Alright, since this is the case, don't blame me for the heartless Dan Fei. Execute my orders, kill everyone other than Dan Fei without exception. And if he forbids you, kill him too!”    

Jiang Chen laughed casually, “After much talk, have you finally revealed your true nature?”    

Ye Dai's face darkened as he roared, “And I will give a great gift to whoever killed Jiang Chen for me!”    

With the appearance of Jiang Chen, Ye Dai discovered that the person he hated the most and ranked first among the people he wanted to see dead was not Ye Rong, but Jiang Chen!    

"I'll do it!" Liu Can grinned horribly and attacked from his side, running towards Jiang Chen.    

Jiang Chen remained motionless like a mountain, flicking his wrist and showing the dagger in his hand –    

The shape of a Flying Eagle!    

A cold light flashed as the thrown dagger disappeared into the air. By the time everyone finally realized what was going on, they discovered that the thrown dagger had already entered Liu Can's throat.    

Liu Can's body had just run for less than ten meters when it suddenly became stiff, his hands forming a death grip on his neck, his eyeballs popping out of his skull like dead fish eyes.    

Generating a gurgling sound came out from his throat as his hands clenched desperately, as if he wanted to capture the life that came out of his body and push it back inside him.    

Bam!    

Liu Can's body slumped down with a thud and made countless dust flutter.    

This turn of events happened very quickly, as if lightning had struck the scene.    

When everyone was aware, Liu Can had turned into a corpse.    

Even Ye Rong's side was flabbergasted, not to mention Ye Dai's side being completely dumbfounded. Other than Dan Fei who had a noncommittal expression and without any special reaction, everyone was insensitive like a wooden chicken.    

“Jiang Chen, you.. You killed Liu Can with one strike? In the first-rate spirit realm?” Lin Qianli let out a voice of astonishment and walked over to look at Liu Can's soaked body, his eyes full of admiration and admiration.    

Xue Tong also walked, “Young Master.”    

Jiang Chen patted Xue Tong on the shoulder, “Not bad, you are the only one in the entire team observing the mountain valley terrain and identifying red flags.”    

Ye Rong's team all blushed in embarrassment. However, Jiang Chen was right. No one thought of observing the terrain other than Xue Tong, and no one else thought that this might be a trap.    

Except, everyone was getting curious as to when Jiang Chen arrived? How did he know that the first prince's team had designed such a trap?    

Ye Dai looked at Liu Can's body and couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. Jiang Chen had killed Liu Can of the first-rate spirit realm in one second with a single strike?    

“Brother Chen, this Jiang Chen is quite troublesome. Looks like it's time for you to take to the field.” Ye Dai's gaze looked towards the Precious Tree Sect disciple, a second level spirit realm practitioner.    

"Huh. The potential of the disciples from the Northern Palace was limited. This so-called first-rate spirit realm is likely inferior to the half-step spirit realm of my Sect. Prince Ye Dai, killing Jiang Chen doesn't seem to be part of our deal. How will you compensate me if I take action?”    

The Precious Tree Sect disciples had separate tones. It was obvious that he was only employed by Ye Dai and not a single one of his deaths.    

Ye Dai clenched his teeth. “Your salary will be doubled. As long as you kill Jiang Chen, your salary will be double compared to the ones we agreed upon earlier.    

“Three fold!” Precious Tree Sect Disciple, Chen Li stretched out three fingers. “Bidgets are not allowed. This Jiang Chen was a true first-rate spirit realm practitioner. It takes a little effort to kill him. If it's like Liu Can, I won't want it three times.I want it twice at most.”    

“Three fold is triple. Take action now!” Ye Dai was also quite firm.    

A raised smile appeared on Chen Li's face as he nodded. “The first prince is indeed firm. I will take Jiang Chen's head!    

Ye Rong hurriedly said from his side, “Esteemed master is a disciple of the Precious Tree Sect, what is the need for you to get involved in the struggles of the royal family? He offered three times the agreed pay, I'm willing to do it five times as long as you're willing to not move and stay neutral. How about that?"    

Chen Li chuckled and stopped his steps as expected. He scouted Ye Dai, “First prince, your younger brother seems to be more generous than you.”    

Ye Zheng hurriedly said, “Brother Chen, don't listen to him. Ye Rong is a poor poor person, how could he have that kind of money to give you? My brother offered me three times, I also offered three times. This resulted in a total of six times. One last price, don't haggle anymore. Kill Jiang Chen six times the agreed price and we will keep our deal as we go!    

The smile on Chen Li's face grew wider. What he wanted the most at the moment was for both sides to continue beating each other's bids so that he could profit without having to work hard for it.    

Ye Rong gritted his teeth. “I'll do it ten times!”    

Jiang Chen smiled at this time, “Fourth Prince, since when have you had so much money? Ten times? If you have ten times the agreed amount, give it to me and I'll take all their heads for you.”    

Chen Li wanted to continue listening to Ye Rong's offer, but the smile on his face suddenly disappeared when he heard Jiang Chen's words and he spoke coldly. “Ye Rong, you have no further chances.”    

“Even if you offer a hundred times now, you all have to die!”    

“Jiang Chen, you're the first!”    

A killing intent exploded in Chen Li's eyes.    

Jiang Chen laughed casually. “I certainly wouldn't be that optimistic if I were you.”    

Chen Li laughed out loud. "Optimians? I am a sect genius and my training is at the second level spirit realm.you have just been at the first level spirit realm. Do you think you can fight me with your splint throwing technique?”    

“Terupon, I'll let you see who the true disciple of the sect is today, and how genius it is!”    

Chen Li's aura suddenly expanded after he ended his short speech and he made use of his sea of spirit. Spirit power surged out from his body as his body was protected by a pitch-red light, as if a fireball was blazing into the sky.    

However, Jiang Chen did not seem to see any of this as he smiled faintly, seemingly assuming Chen Li was a clown.    

“You can still smile as death stares at your face!” Chen Li roared. “I wonder if there is something wrong with your head or if you can really support your conversation.”    

Jiang Chen spoke easily with a smile, “Oh, I can smile alright, but I don't think you will be able to do it soon. The more you utilize your spirit sea now and the more you strive to become, the sooner you will realize how weak you are.    

"What?" Chen Li's heart suddenly sank as he seemed to discover that there was a strand of strange presence seeping into his sea of spirits.
