Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The birthday of Emperor Chu was over, and the hunting community announced its closure.

The royal eunuchs led the guests attending the birthday of Emperor Chu to leave the hunting world, including Tianshui Sect and Lin Bai.

Emperor Chu called His Highness King Chen and the third prince to go, not to ask questions in the hunting world, but directly left the hunting world and came to the ancestral temple of the royal family.

The Royal Ancestral Temple, also known as the Chu Clan Ancestral Temple, houses the longevity tablets of emperors and princes of the Chu Kingdom. There are dedicated warriors and strong men guarding the ancestral temple, which has been reported to the Chu Kingdom in Changchun.

Don't underestimate these "immortality tablets", they are all made with ingenuity by Tianbao Pavilion's weapon refiners. They contain the power of the wishes of all living beings and the power of Chu's national destiny.

If it is regarded as a magic weapon, any piece of it is comparable to the Daluo Divine Weapon.

Arriving at the ancestral temple, Emperor Chu retreated to the left and right and opened the magic circle.

His Royal Highness King Chen and the third prince knelt before the memorial tablets of their ancestors, bowing their heads and not daring to speak easily.

Emperor Chu ignored them and took three sticks of incense, lit them with pure spiritual power, held the incense in his hand, made a salute, and inserted it into the incense burner.

He took a deep breath and exhaled it, staring at the thousands of longevity tablets in front of him, his expression gradually became cold.

"You...who can say it first!"

Emperor Chu faced the memorial tablet with his back to King Chen and the third prince. After a long silence, he said something coldly.

But at this moment, His Royal Highness King Chen and the third prince were both as silent as a cicada, not daring to speak easily, lowering their heads and remaining silent.

"What? Are you all mute?"

"Weren't you very eloquent in the Yuhua Tiangong just now? Everyone was eloquent, but now they are all mute?"

The veins on Emperor Chu's forehead were throbbing, and he was already sullen. He closed his eyes but held back.

Faced with Emperor Chu's scolding, His Highness King Chen and the third prince remained silent.

"Forget it, let me ask." Emperor Chu waited for a long time but did not hear a reply, so he sighed secretly and decided to ask in person, "I already know what His Highness King Chen has done, so there is no need to ask more."

"Let me ask the Third Prince alone today!"

Emperor Chu still did not turn around. The third prince lowered his head and looked up involuntarily. He only saw the majestic back of Emperor Chu and the longevity lamp lit on the longevity tablet in front of him.

The lights of the longevity lamp flickered, and the candlelight warmed the hall, but the third prince could not feel the slightest warmth. Instead, his whole body was cold and his soul was frozen.

"Tianxin, His Highness Prince Chen clearly had a lot to say in the hall, but he didn't say it out loud. It must be that you two communicated secretly, right?" Emperor Chu asked in a deep voice.

"My father's wisdom is as bright as a torch, and my son dare not hide it." The third prince replied truthfully: "It is indeed my son who asked His Highness King Chen not to say too much to save the face of the royal family of Chu!"

"Haha!" Emperor Chu sneered when he heard this, "Are you worthy of mentioning the honor of the royal family to me?"

"My son, I know my sin, and I will die without redemption." The third prince kowtowed his head to the ground.

Emperor Chu took another deep breath, and his voice suddenly became thicker, and even a slight tremor could be heard in his voice. He asked: "Let me ask you...the death of the eldest prince, is..."

"It was me!" The third prince had already made up his mind, and now when Emperor Chu asked him, he naturally answered truthfully, "Not only the eldest prince, but also the second prince and the twelfth prince all died due to the calculations of his sons and ministers! "

When Emperor Chu heard this, he closed his eyes in pain and couldn't help but tilt his head to the sky. His fists hidden in his sleeves clenched involuntarily.

"Father already knew this, so why bother asking?" The third prince had already told the truth with the determination to die. He was not afraid at this moment and instead asked Emperor Chu with a sneer.

"Shut up!" Emperor Chu was furious and shouted: "I know nothing about this..."

"Haha." The third prince was not frightened by Emperor Chu. Instead, he laughed, "Father, why do you have to pretend to be deaf and dumb? Our royal family of the Chu Kingdom has experienced transfers of imperial power and changes of political power in every dynasty, and that time was not dripping with blood."

"Father knew what I was doing, he just acquiesced."

"Just like how my father sat on the throne of God back then!"

"It's just..." The third prince glanced sideways at His Highness King Chen beside him, and sneered: "His Royal Highness Chen is as lucky as his father. Back then, my father only had the support of the seniors, and today His Highness Chen is again With the help of a talented person like Lin Bai!"

"I lost, but I refused to accept it!"

"My son, I lost at the hands of Lin Bai, not at the hands of His Highness King Chen; just like the uncles who competed with my father for status back then, they lost at the hands of Xiao Cangsheng, not at the hands of my father. !”

When the Emperor of Chu heard that the third prince revealed the secret things of the past, he did not become angry.

Instead, he asked: "If you don't accept it, what should I do?"

"Not at all!" The third prince said frankly, "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The rule of the royal family of Chu State is that before the crown prince is appointed, the royal family is allowed to attack and kill each other. Once the crown prince is appointed, Now, many royal families are not allowed to overstep their bounds, and each of them should stay in their own right."

"Today, His Royal Highness King Chen has obtained the position of crown prince. Until his father and the ancestors of the royal family give orders to depose him, I will abide by the rules of the royal family and not make trouble or become an enemy of His Highness King Chen!"

"On the contrary, if His Highness King Chen is in need, I should try my best to assist him!"

When Emperor Chu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, but his cheeks kept beating and the veins on his bones kept beating.

The third prince sighed softly, "But now, although I have lost the throne, His Highness Prince Chen has gained the talent of Lin Bai, the king's assistant. He has the supreme appearance and is the only unparalleled genius in the history!"

"We only need to keep him in the Chu Kingdom, and we can ensure the Chu Kingdom's peace and prosperity for thousands of years!"

"Even if Lin Bai improves his cultivation in the future, maybe we can rely on his strength to continue to expand our territory!"

His Highness King Chen was kneeling in silence, listening to the conversation between Emperor Chu and the third prince. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Father, I promised Brother Lin that when the matter is completed, I will let him go." Freedom, let him go to the seven realms of heaven to find his family, wife and children."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu suddenly turned back to look at His Royal Highness King Chen and scolded: "Prince Chen, you are still too kind-hearted. Don't forget that you are now the crown prince of Chu State, and everything must be based on the interests of Chu State!"

"Do you know why I'm undecided between you two?"

"Prince Chen will never be able to learn the power of the third prince; the kindness that King Chen possesses will never be learned by the third prince!"

Emperor Chu first glared at the third prince and said coldly: "To rule the world, you do not rely on strength, but on kindness!"

He glared at His Highness Prince Chen and said, "Similarly, to rule the world, kindness alone is not enough, you also need power."

"Whether it is the eldest prince, the second prince, or the twelfth prince... I have never seen anything in them that can rule the world!" Emperor Chu smiled bitterly, "It seems that everyone thinks that the strongest in the world of martial arts are respected. , as long as you are strong enough, you can rule the world!"

"So the eldest prince, the second prince, and the twelfth prince, I have always warned them that power is not the only thing that is pursued in this world. There are other things that can be pursued in this world, but they still don't understand."

"Why!"

Emperor Chu looked up to the sky and sighed, his face full of pain.
