Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Seize the direct descendant!"

Lin Bai said these two words loudly.

When these two words came out, the faces of the great elder and Li Zai'en froze.

Seizing the heir, whether it is a dynasty in the mortal world or a dynasty in the world of martial arts, is a taboo term.

As the name suggests, it is to help a prince become a prince and then successfully ascend the throne.

Now within the Chu Kingdom, all the powerful men from the five families and seven sects knew that the Chu Emperor had a short lifespan and had to seize the time to retreat to break through the realm of cultivation. Therefore, he had to appoint a prince to supervise the country before he could go to retreat with peace of mind.

Moreover, all the major forces at home and abroad in Chu have said that on Emperor Chu's 10,000th birthday in two years' time, Emperor Chu will definitely establish a prince.

But which prince became the crown prince is now confusing.

Originally, everyone in the Chu Kingdom thought that the third prince would become the crown prince of course. However, two or three years ago, Emperor Chu suddenly ordered His Highness Prince Chen, who was named the County Prince, to return to the capital. And with the support of Emperor Chu, His Highness Prince Chen There was a vague intention to fight against the third prince.

Moreover, His Highness King Chen had many connections in the imperial capital before. After returning to Beijing this time, after two or three years of traveling, the old ministries began to gather together one after another. There were also ministers inside and outside the court giving advice to His Highness King Chen.

Although His Highness Prince Chen is not as powerful as the third prince, he is still considered one of the most powerful princes in the Chu Kingdom today.

The Chu State's court was complicated and confusing, so the five families and seven sects were all waiting and watching on the surface and did not take sides.

But in the dark, after the battle at Dongtian Hunter Garden, many powerful people in the Chu Kingdom discovered that the five major forces, Tiandimen, Wentian Sect, Li Family, Sun Family, and Zhao Family, had all stood together and became He took the wings of His Highness the Third Prince.

When these five saint sons unite, they represent their respective sects. Therefore, these five major sects have also expressed their stance that they are the wings of the third prince's camp.

"Let me put it bluntly."

Lin Bai sighed, stared at the Great Elder and Li Zai'en and said: "For a behemoth like the Tiandimen in the Chu Kingdom, without violent turmoil, it would be difficult to shake their foundation."

"A sect as depressed as Tianshui Sect would not be able to rise again if there were no troubled times!"

"In the peaceful and prosperous era, all the major sects and major forces occupied the mountain as kings, and the weak and the strong preyed on each other."

"For example, if the current Tianshui Sect relies on the sect to develop slowly and slowly accumulate foundation, I am afraid it will take at least tens of thousands of years to recover. Besides, in these tens of thousands of years, won't the Tiandi Sect develop? Yet?"

"Moreover, in the world of martial arts where the weak prey on the strong, the Tiandi Sect will never watch the rise of the Tianshui Sect. As the saying goes, 'Kill you while you are sick'. Once the Tiandi Sect finds an opportunity, they will give the Tianshui Sect a fatal blow."

"The Heaven and Earth Sect can develop steadily for tens of thousands of years, and they will live in peace. But the Tianshui Sect must walk on thin ice for these tens of thousands of years."

Having said this, Lin Bai paused and glanced at the faces of the great elder and Chu Xi.

Seeing that they were all deep in thought, Lin Bai continued: "The Heaven and Earth Sect has already stood in the camp of the third prince. If we, the Tianshui Sect, want to participate in the fight for the rightful son, we cannot stand in the camp of the third prince. We must Stand in the camp of His Highness King Chen.”

"As long as we can support His Highness King Chen to become the crown prince, then not only the Tianshui Sect can make a comeback with the support of His Highness King Chen, but also the Tiandimen, Wentian Sect, Li family, Sun family, and Zhao family will all be under the support of His Highness King Chen. Suppress.”

"This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

After Lin Bai finished speaking, when no one answered, he stopped boasting.

Give the Great Elder, Chu Xi, and Li Zaien time to think.

After thinking for a while, the First Elder said: "But... if His Highness King Chen fails to seize the rightful son, and the third prince becomes the prince, our Tianshui Sect will inevitably be suppressed by the third prince. Judging from the current situation of Tianshui Sect, Tiandimen They will definitely use this opportunity to destroy our Tianshui Sect!"

"If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for Tianshui Sect."

Chu Xi and Li Zai'en both nodded slightly, feeling that what the elder said made sense.

Lin Bai smiled and asked, "Could it be that if we don't support His Highness King Chen, the Heaven and Earth Gate will let us go?"

Chu Xi, Li Zai'en, and the Great Elder were all stunned.

They all knew that Lin Bai was right. Even if the Tianshui Sect did not support His Highness King Chen and did not participate in the fight for the heir, the Heaven and Earth Sect would still not let the Tianshui Sect go.

Lin Bai said: "Based on the current situation, if you don't participate in the inheritance contest, it will be a slow death for Tianshui Sect; if you fail to participate in the inheritance contest, it will be a disaster, but if you succeed, you can make a comeback. !”

"Anyway, the results of Tianshui Sect are not very good, so why not give it a try?"

The great elder's eyes suddenly lit up, but then fell silent, his face still ugly, and he was still hesitant.

Lin Bai stared at the Great Elder and said, "I finally know the Great Elder's weakness."

The great elder raised his head and looked at Lin Bai in confusion.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "It's just too difficult for the First Elder to make a choice. He's hesitant, like a mother-in-law, like a girl."

"If I were the sect leader of Tianshui Sect and the great elder of Tianshui Sect, I would definitely choose to give it a try, and His Highness Prince Chen is not without a chance of winning!"

"At least judging from the current situation, the Holy Lotus Palace, Tianxian Sect, and Chen family all have enmity with the third prince. They are not willing to stand on the third prince's side unless they have to."

"If His Highness Prince Chen can bring the three major sects of the Holy Lotus Palace, Tianxian Sect, and Chen Family under his control, he may not be able to fight with the third prince."

Hearing this, the great elder's eyes lit up and he said: "If the Tianxian Sect, Shenglian Palace, and the Chen family are willing to become the wings of His Highness King Chen, then I, the Tianshui Sect, are also willing to give it a try!"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "By then, it will be too late."

The great elder asked: "What do you mean?"

Lin Bai said: "Compared with the Holy Lotus Palace, the Tianxian Sect, and the Chen family, Tianshui Sect has no advantage in strength."

"If the Tianshui Sect doesn't stand up in advance, how will it show its face in front of His Highness King Chen?"

"When the Holy Lotus Palace, the Tianxian Sect, and the Chen family are all on His Highness King Chen's side, the Tianshui Sect has just arrived belatedly. His Highness King Chen must not have much weight in the Tianshui Sect."

"I came from the lower world and realized a truth: providing help in times of need is far more likely to make people feel grateful than adding icing on the cake."

The Great Elder frowned and said, "You mean... we want to fight on His Highness Prince Chen's side before the Tianxian Sect, Shenglian Palace, and the Chen family?"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "That's what I think. Now that His Highness Prince Chen has just returned to the Imperial Capital, his wings are not yet full. If the Tianshui Sect is willing to help at this moment, His Highness Prince Chen will definitely be extremely grateful."

"At that time, once His Highness King Chen succeeds, the Water Sect will be the leading contributor that day. By then, will the Tianshui Sect still worry about making a comeback?"

"If it fails, it will be nothing more than the annihilation of the sect. Anyway, if the sect continues to develop like this, it will also die slowly. There is not much difference."

Lin Bai finished analyzing the pros and cons.

The great elder hesitated and failed to make a decision in the end. He looked at the sect leader and said, "Please let the sect leader make a decision."

Li Zai'en nodded and said, "Please make your decision, Master."

Chu Xi's chubby little face was filled with question marks, her two beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and she had a serious and thoughtful look on her face. Not only did it not make people think she was arrogant, but she was rather cute.

I really want to reach out and pinch her chubby face.
