Outside the emperor's palace, a handsome young man wearing a golden python robe walked towards him with magnificent imperial power.
The eldest prince of the Xia clan, Xia Yao!
As the eldest son of the Xia clan, if Xia Yu Chengfeng was not so evil, the position of the new emperor of the Xia clan would definitely go to this eldest prince.
Xia Yao's talent is also extremely evil, and his level is even more terrifying than Xia Yu Chengfeng's, at the level of the fourth calamity.
What's more important is that this eldest prince has been practicing in the military since he was a child. He is now the commander-in-chief of the Xia Clan's imperial attendants and is highly recognized by the Xia Clan kings.
only!!
Even so, everyone knew that as long as Xia Yu Chengfeng did not die, the position of Emperor Xia would never fall to Xia Yao.
"Yao'er, you're here."
Emperor Xia smiled gently and waved to Xia Yao, "Sit down."
With his character, he naturally knew some of the methods Xia Yao had secretly deployed over the years.
It was obvious that although the eldest prince had no desires or pursuits on the surface, he still had ambitions for the position of Emperor Xia in his heart.
"Yao'er, my father is old, and you have all grown to the imperial level. As the eldest son of the Xia clan, who do you think... among your brothers, who is suitable to sit in my seat?"
"Father! My son and I are terrified."
Xia Yao's expression changed, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Why are you nervous? Today you and I are not kings and ministers, just father and son. I know you have complained about me over the years, so if you have any ideas, you can tell me today."
Emperor Xia looked calm, with a look of guilt on his face.
For him, what is truly terrifying about Yunding Immortal Academy is not the inheritance, nor the mysterious Yunding Immortal Master, but... the belief in human ancestors.
This Fangxianyuan recruits many disciples in the name of Ren Zu, just to gather faith in the world.
If he could steal this faith into the hands of the Xia clan, he would not be afraid of another change in the world.
Therefore.
"Father, I think...the seventh brother is most suitable for the position of emperor."
Xia Yao pondered for a moment, but after all, he did not dare to say anything treasonous.
Even he did not dare to guess the thoughts of his father.
He seemed gentle at this moment, but it made Xia Yao feel more and more frightened.
"Oh? What about you? Are you willing to be an ordinary prince?"
Emperor Xia shook his head and smiled, sighing softly, "I know you are not willing to give in, but... Yao'er, the reason why our Xia clan has the status we have today is because many of our ancestors gave up some honor and status, and I did not
I don’t want any disputes to arise between your brothers over the throne.”
Previously, he had sensed some conspiracy vibes from Lu Wuxin's revelation.
Heaven and Earth Alliance!!
This secret alliance among humans has probably already reached out to the Xia clan.
The most suspect among them is the eldest prince in front of him.
although!!
Emperor Xia did not find out that he had any involvement with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, but instead of disappearing, this concern became even heavier.
"Yes, Father."
"Of course, as the eldest prince of the Xia clan, it is indeed a bit wrong for you to be an ordinary prince. Now I will give you a task. If you can do it well, maybe... your status will be even higher than that of the emperor of the Xia clan in the future.
All must be honored.”
Emperor Xia's expression became solemn, and even his eyes seemed to have imperial patterns surging, shocking the heavens.
"Father..."
Xia Yao's eyes trembled. Although he felt that his father's words were trying to make a big deal out of someone else, but... what made him slightly fortunate was that he had not revealed his greed for the throne just now.
Very clear
Obviously, from Emperor Xia's words, he could feel how much his father valued his seventh brother.
And he, after all, had no chance of being crowned king.
"The Human Ancestor Sacrifice will begin soon. Yunding Immortal Academy has always stipulated that whoever can be recognized by the Human Ancestor Holy Soul during the Human Ancestor Sacrifice will become the next Human Ancestor."
In the final analysis, this so-called recognition by the Holy Soul of the Human Ancestor is just a way for Yunding Xianyuan to fool the world.
As the leader of the Imperial Clan, Emperor Xia naturally understood that it was the Yunding Immortal Master who truly determined the identity of the human ancestor.
As long as we are human, we have flaws.
This time, Emperor Xia decided to choose a new human ancestor for the master of the Immortal Academy.
"Human Ancestor..."
Hearing this, Xia Yao's eyes trembled, and a look of excitement gradually appeared on his face.
Yes, if he could become a human ancestor, he would be able to steal this identity and accumulate the power of faith for endless years.
And such a status, in a sense, is indeed more noble than the current emperor of the Xia clan.
"Buzz."
Looking at the expression on Xia Yao's face, Emperor Xia's eyes surged with gold and turned into an ancient token, floating in front of him.
"You take my imperial order, take this divine edict, go to Yunding Immortal Academy in person, and hand them over to Yunding Immortal Master. I think...she will know what to do."
With the prestige of the Xia clan, even if they are provoked now, no sect can disobey them.
At the very least, in Emperor Xia's view, as long as Immortal Lord Yunding is not a fool, he will definitely not become an enemy of the Xia clan after sensing a ray of energy in the ancient order.
Otherwise, as long as Emperor Xia is willing, he can uproot this Fangxian Academy at any time.
"yes!!"
Xia Yao bowed, took the divine order and decree with both hands, turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial palace.
And looking at the figure gradually walking away, Emperor Xia's expression turned cold again.
Among his many descendants, only four of them have extraordinary talents, and all of them have the appearance of an emperor.
Among them, two siblings, Xia Yu Chengfeng and Xia Yu Shuyun, are the twins of a dragon and a phoenix. Their thoughts are united and they cannot be bewitched by the alliance between heaven and earth.
The remaining two people are the eldest prince Xia Yao and the second prince Xia Lin.
Of these two people, one advocates killing and has been practicing in the military since he was a child. The other is chronically ill and has a weak constitution, but he has an emperor's benevolent heart and is deeply supported by ordinary people and cultivators.
If Emperor Xia's prediction is correct, one of them must have secretly betrayed the Xia clan and chosen to join forces with the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
This time, the reason why he sent Xia Yao to Yunding Xianyuan was to take this opportunity to test the reactions of the two brothers and find out any flaws.
"Buzz!"
Above the imperial palace, suddenly thousands of troops were rampaging and thousands of horses were in silence.
Xia Yao was seen leading the way, followed closely by a group of imperial attendants wearing golden armor, heading straight for Yunding Xianyuan.
The world shakes!!
The vast imperial power poured down, immediately attracting countless eyes from China.
And deep in the summer palace, a young man wrapped in furs was holding an ancient scroll in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, looking at it with gusto.
"Second Prince."
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Xia Lin raised his head and looked at the bowed golden-armored guard, with a gentle smile on his pale and handsome face.
"Commander Jin, you are here."
"The second prince and the eldest prince have gone to Yunding Immortal Academy under the emperor's order, and the seventh prince has gone into seclusion since returning from the Ancient Star Dynasty. It is said that... he is preparing to practice the tenth level of the Emperor's Sutra."
After finishing his words, the golden-armored commander bowed again, turned around and retreated.
