| ← Ch.0717 | Ch.0719 → |
"Looks like the civil strife in the imperial palace is real." Kong Yun sighed. If he were to leave now, he would certainly be able to escape. However, in this way, Xuanyuan Yan's life would be in danger. If he saved her, he would be dragged into this situation. At that time, he would be in an encirclement.
Kong Yun thought, his eyes staring at Xuanyuan Yan. Xuanyuan Yan's expression was extremely pitiful. He knew that Xuanyuan Yan was likely the evil victim of this battle for the throne.
"Who are they and why are they chasing after you?" Kong Yun closed his eyes and asked.
"They are guards of the Imperial Palace and subordinates of the First Prince. The reason they chased me is because I know that they framed Father Emperor. They want to get rid of him." A trace of sadness appeared on Xuanyuan Yan's face.
"Father Emperor did not die normally. He was poisoned by them and slowly poisoned to death." Xuanyuan Yan cried. After all, she was her father. Seeing her father being killed by her son, no one felt comfortable.
At this moment, Kong Yun felt that the group of black-clothed people had returned. Kong Yun knew that the matter had been exposed, so he pulled Xuanyuan Research out of the window. In a few dodges, he was drowned in the darkness.
"Where is safer for me to send you?" Kong Yun looked at Xuanyuan Yan."Go to my third brother's place. My third brother loves me the most." Kong Yun didn't hesitate as he headed straight for the Third Prince's residence.
Third Prince Xuanyuan Feng was reading a book when his subordinates hurriedly walked in."Third Prince, the princess is carried by a stranger. She wants to see you outside."
"What? Quickly come in." Xuanyuan Feng put down the book in his hand and quickly walked out. Seeing her younger sister Xuanyuan Yan's haggard expression and heartache, and seeing Kong Yun, she was shocked.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Xuanyuan Feng's heart was only in the past, but Kong Yun's heart was in the midst of a huge wave that shook the heavens.
Beside the lotus pond, the two of them sat opposite each other. The lotus flower in the pond was very beautiful, but Kong Yun was not in the mood to admire it, and his heart was constantly rolling.
"I can only tell you one question in your heart. I have a God's Eye and can see through all the unreal things in the world. That's why I can recognize your true colors. It's not the time to tell you anything else." Xuanyuan Feng took a sip of tea and smiled while admiring the lotus flowers in the pond.
Hearing this, Kong Yun felt relieved. The expression on his face relaxed a lot. However, the doubts in his heart did not disappear much.
"I want to discuss a deal with you." Xuanyuan Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Yun. Kong Yun glanced at Xuanyuan Feng and nodded.
"Help me ascend the throne." Xuanyuan Feng smiled and looked at Kong Yun. Kong Yun was very shocked. After all, he did not have much strength or capital. How could Xuanyuan Feng talk business with me? Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not answer them.
After hearing this, Kong Yun stood up and looked at Xuanyuan Feng with an incredulous expression."I'll help you leave this place."
"How do you know this?" This was Kong Yun's biggest secret.
"There are people like you. Do you need to be so surprised?" Xuanyuan Feng smiled and looked at Kong Yun.
Kong Yun's expression softened and he thought for a moment, "Sure, I agree to cooperate, but I'm weak. How can I help you?" Kong Yun asked Xuanyuan Feng.
"In the next match, although you are in the Dongfang Clan's camp, you also know that most of the reason she took you there was because of the Spirit Steps, so there is no need for you to work for them. This time, you will do your best to help the Ximen Clan take over the position of City Lord." Xuanyuan Feng's words moved step by step, and Kong Yun could not refuse.
Kong Yun knew that the Third Prince was not a simple person at this moment. He was not dressed like the outside world. The Third Prince was very weak.
"I see. Don't worry, I will try my best." Kong Yun nodded.
"I will greet the Ximen Clan. Don't worry about that. I will also let them guarantee your safety." After Xuanyuan Feng finished speaking, he looked at the sky and saw that a storm was about to arrive.
Kong Yun was also looking at the sky at this moment, but Kong Yun was thinking of something else. Who exactly was this Third Prince?
Only later did Kong Yun know that the Ximen Clan followed the Third Prince, the Darknorth Clan and the Dongfang Clan followed the First Prince, and the Nangong Clan followed the Second Prince. From this aspect, the First Prince was the strongest, but fighting for the throne required not only strength but also brains.
Although the factions were different, the internal affairs of the four great clans were resolved internally. The three great clans still wanted to continue to suppress the Dongfang Clan in this match, so that the influence of the Dongfang Clan would decline. Only in this way would the three great clans receive more benefits.
The next day, Kong Yun was still sitting beside the lotus pond, but Xuanyuan Feng did not know where he had gone. Kong Yun calculated the time. It was almost time for the competition. He should go to the Dongfang Clan to take a look at the situation.
Kong Yun stood up and left the Third Prince's mansion.
The Third Prince stood on the tall building and looked at everything beneath his feet."Your Highness, I don't understand why you want to cooperate with such a person. He doesn't have any background or strength." The old man behind him looked at the prince and asked.
"You will understand when the time comes. He will bring us a pleasant surprise." After Xuanyuan Feng finished speaking, he left this place.
Kong Yun had already inquired about the residence of the Dongfang Clan a few days ago, so he walked to the door of the Dongfang Clan and recovered his original appearance.
"Please notify Kong Yun in the War Royal City to look for Dongfang Xue." When the guards heard this, they were shocked and immediately became a little bored.
"What is War Royal City? Why haven't I heard of it?" The two of them laughed.
"I was invited by Dongfang Xue to participate in the competition." Kong Yun's expression became cold.
"Nonsense. The participants in the competition have been welcomed back. Why did you come by yourself?" The guards began to suspect.
"You just need to report it." Kong Yun was getting impatient.
When the guard saw Kong Yun's expression, he instantly became angry."You must be a liar. Hurry up and leave. There are too many people who come to see Miss with your excuse. We are used to seeing them. Hurry up and leave, or else I will cripple you." Kong Yun saw the guard's expression and knew that the Dongfang Clan was beginning to decline. Even the guards were so arrogant. This was obviously the result of lax discipline.
Kong Yun thought for a moment and decided to use some simple methods. Kong Yun punched the guard to the ground one by one, but he didn't die, so his injuries were inevitable.
The Dongfang Clan fell into chaos. Someone broke into the Dongfang Clan. This big news quickly spread to everyone in the Dongfang Clan. Several powerful figures appeared in front of Kong Yun.
"Brat, you're crazy. You actually dare to barge into the Dongfang Clan." The old man looked at Kong Yun with a slightly unfriendly expression.
"I told you, I'm here to see Dongfang Xue. What is she doing inside? Don't you dare to see me?" Kong Yun was obviously a little angry. He knew that Dongfang Xue was fine here.
A red figure quickly flew over. Seeing Kong Yun and the injured guards around him, his expression turned ugly."This person is indeed looking for me. He is the city lord of War King City. He is here to participate in the competition." Dongfang Xue explained apologetically to the old man.
"No matter who it is, you can't come to our Dongfang Clan to act wildly. Let's kill them first." The old man was about to make a move when Dongfang Xue stopped him. Dongfang Xue whispered something in the old man's ear. The old man glanced at Kong Yun and left.
Kong Yun followed Dongfang Xu to his own residence smoothly. Dongfang Xue glared at Kong Yun, "Can't you be more honest and cause trouble for me if you come?" Obviously, Dongfang Xue was very angry this time. Kong Yun waved his hand and said, "This matter isn't my fault. I told them to report it, but they refused to do anything. Then what do you want me to do? If not, can I see you?"
Kong Yun's eyes were filled with grievance. Dongfang Xue also knew that the guard had done something wrong, but Kong Yun had beaten up his guards. This was the face of the Dongfang Clan. If it wasn't for Kong Yun's Spirit Steps, Dongfang Xue would have killed Kong Yun long ago and wouldn't have saved him at all.
Dongfang Xue briefly explained the rules of tomorrow's competition. The competition was a points system. Killing a first-grade demonic beast would count as one point. The second-grade demonic beast would count as ten points. In the end, the score would be calculated according to the number of points.
If one person kills another person, then the other person's points are all added to that person's body.
Hearing that, Kong Yun nodded. This was a random battle.
Which clan had the most points was the current City Lord. This time, the position of City Lord was very important. It was related to the selection of the new emperor. This time, each clan did not relax at all. Instead, they prepared for the battle with all their might.
Rolling his eyes, it was the beginning of the competition. The people from the four great clans gathered in a square and began to prepare to enter a secret realm and kill the demonic beasts.
"I won't say anything about the rules. I believe everyone is well aware of them. I wish everyone a triumphant return." After the emperor's messenger finished speaking, he walked off the stage. On the stage, five old men appeared. Four old men stood around and one old man stood in the middle. Each of them held a family heirloom treasure in their hands. This was the support of the five great families.
The treasures of the four old men in the surroundings each emitted a ray of light, shooting towards the old man in the middle. The old man in the middle raised his hand and gathered into a five-colored beam of light, shooting towards the void.
Instantly, a large door appeared in the void. This door was extremely magnificent. Its surroundings were carved with dragon patterns, and they were all five-clawed golden dragons. They were extremely imposing. Kong Yun was shocked by this scene. There was actually such a thing in the world. This time, Kong Yun really opened his eyes.
