Thinking of this, Long Lin chuckled and said, "Third Prince, your attack power is truly formidable! Although you are currently only at the second tier, seventh star level, you are undoubtedly an invincible existence among those at the second tier! Since the Fox Clan is willing to send such a brilliant and talented person as the Third Prince to our Dragon Clan as a hostage, it shows the Fox Clan's sincerity! Very well! Then this old man will take this Third Prince back to the Dragon Clan today! I request that the White Emperor issue a decree to grant you passage!"
The fox clan's prime minister, Bai Yunshan, suddenly spoke up: "Emperor Bai! Please reconsider!"
Bai Zhi was taken aback! He said, "What do you mean by that, Prime Minister Yunshan? Three days ago, you stopped me from sending my younger brother Bai Baipo to the Dragon Clan! Now that I have sent him into seclusion at the Thunder Pool for cultivation, why are you telling me to reconsider?"
Bai Yunshan, sweating profusely, cried out, "Emperor Bai! My heart was set on the prosperity of my fox clan! Why didn't the Immortal Emperor tell me about his offspring before his death?! Alas!!!"
Bai Zhi said, "This matter is not Father's fault! My third brother's name is Bai Caogen, which is the illegitimate child Father had with a woman surnamed Lin in the countryside! Therefore, he is also called Lin Caogen! Father only told me this secret before he died! For the past forty years, I have been secretly teaching him martial arts! It is not surprising that you do not know!"
Bai Yunshan exclaimed urgently, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince's talent is truly exceptional! That finger technique he just used was at least a high-level Earth-rank or even Heaven-rank martial skill! How old is the Third Prince? I estimate he's only around forty. To comprehend such a profound and unfathomable martial skill at such a young age demonstrates his incredible comprehension ability! Moreover, I clearly saw that that finger strike contained three sword intents! Incomparably sharp! Tell me, in the world, which second-tier cultivator could possibly harm the defenses of the dragon scales? The Third Prince should be made the Crown Prince of our Fox Clan!"
At this moment, another senior minister, Bai Bing, also held a jade tablet and said, "Your Majesty, I second your opinion! The Third Prince not only possesses extraordinary comprehension abilities, but his finger technique just now also contained the power of Thunder Essence and Fire Soul! It must be that Your Majesty bestowed upon the Third Prince the fusion of two divine artifacts before your death! This shows the Immortal Emperor's favor towards the Third Prince! It would be inappropriate to send the Third Prince to the Dragon Clan as a hostage!"
Grand Marshal Bai Wanjian, holding a jade tablet, said, "Your Majesty, I second your opinion! The bloodline pressure released by the Third Prince just now was second only to Your Majesty! In my humble opinion, the Third Prince has already inherited the true bloodline of the late Emperor, and his bloodline is incomparably pure. His pressure is powerful enough to make all officials submit! The Third Prince should be made Crown Prince, and after he cultivates into an Emperor, he will inherit the throne and bring glory to our Fox Clan! I believe that the Third Prince must not go to the Dragon Clan as a hostage!"
Long Lin frowned! Seeing the fox clan ministers starting to sabotage him one by one made him increasingly anxious!
If this Third Prince Lin Caogen were to truly inherit the throne and become the leader of the Fox Clan, it would be a catastrophe for the Dragon Clan! His talent and potential are definitely greater than those of the current Dragon Emperor and White Emperor!
Long Lin chuckled and said, "Brilliant, brilliant! I never imagined the Fox Clan would be so protective of their own! It seems they have no intention of making peace with my Dragon Clan at all! As long as the two clans don't go to war, the hostages from both sides will naturally be safe! You all have your own ulterior motives, which is why you didn't want the prince to come to my Dragon Clan! I've truly learned something new today!"
Bai Zhi spoke up: "Dragon Scale Envoy, please do not be impatient! All my ministers, please return to your positions!"
Only after the authoritative voice of the white paper rang out did the court fall silent!
Bai Zhi was both amused and exasperated! She had only sought out Lin Caogen out of love for her younger brother, Bai Baipo, and to prevent him from being taken hostage by the Dragon Clan! She had given him half of her life essence and even expended her divine soul to inscribe the Fox Clan's innate martial art, Heavenly Thunder Purple Lightning True Technique, into Lin Caogen's genes! Unexpectedly, her plan had backfired, leading all the ministers to believe that Lin Caogen was the Immortal Emperor's biological son! They even supported Lin Caogen as Crown Prince! And after becoming the Immortal Emperor, he was to inherit the Fox Clan's throne and depose her, the White Emperor!
However, it must be said that Lin Caogen's potential truly deserves the high praise he has received from the entire court!
After all, his younger brother was 200 years old and still struggling with Yellow-rank and Profound-rank martial arts, while Lin Caogen could already unleash high-level Earth-rank immortal techniques! Moreover, his immortal techniques were imbued with terrifying sword intent! Even Bai Di Bai Zhi had not yet comprehended that sword intent!
After all, while demons possess advantages such as powerful bodies, strong vitality, and lifespans dozens of times longer than humans, they also have weaknesses, namely a weaker ability to comprehend immortal techniques! In other words, they have low intelligence and slow brain processing speed!
