"Third brother, it's you?

What's wrong with you?

I thought you were being plotted against by that guy Lao Wu!"

After seeing the third brother, the sixth brother breathed a sigh of relief. The attitude that he had been holding on to the fifth brother loosened at this moment. Little did he know that this could not be the real third brother?

Rather, it was a back-up plan secretly planned by Xu Yang and the Fifth Prince Xiaohua before taking action.

The reason for doing this is to prevent all the kings and princes from unanimously pushing Lao Wu to the position of public criticism after Xu Yang shines in Jianlu.

As expected, one has to admit that Xu Yang is really a man of great foresight. He used the powerful disguise method early on to transform the scout from the Eight Gates team who had not yet shown up in the Sword House into the appearance of the Third Prince.

This time, the scout appeared in disguise as the Third Prince, and immediately attracted the attention of all the princes and nobles. His attitude could vaguely determine the final pattern of the princes and nobles today.

"Sixth brother, you misunderstood your fifth brother. If he hadn't arrived at Jinxiu Villa in time, I'm afraid none of you would have seen me again today!

Just a month ago, when I just received the invitation letter from the Sword Sect.

A group of very powerful and mysterious swordsmen broke into Jinxiu Villa and slaughtered my retainers and children. They seemed to know the internal structure of Jinxiu Villa very well. Each of them displayed a variety of sword techniques and was masked, so I couldn't tell their true identities at all.

One of the very powerful guys even beat me severely. If it weren't for the timely appearance of the Fifth Brother and his companions, I, your Third Brother, would never have been able to meet you again."

When the Sixth Prince heard his Third Brother say such words, he was furious on the spot and pointed his finger at the Fourth Prince who was still talking nonsense in a high-sounding manner on the platform.

"So all of this was planned by you. You took advantage of your mother's birthday today and the Sword Sect's sword-asking event to invite heroes from all over the world to come to your Sword Sect. One is to win people's hearts, and the other is to kill your compatriots. This is your real purpose, right?"

Obviously, when the Sixth Prince said this to the Fourth Prince, it was equivalent to him taking sides in advance. In this way, the seven nominal princes, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the scout pretending to be the Third Prince, all joined the Fifth Prince's camp.

The only two people without a team were the eldest prince and the second prince. The two princes looked at each other, and although they did not express their opinions, it could be seen from their eyes that they probably already had the answer in their hearts.

With their current influence within the dynasty, the only force that could make them feel wary of them in terms of power is probably the Sword Sect behind the Fourth Prince.

And now that the other four brothers have joined forces to fight against the Sword Sect, their best choice is undoubtedly to obey the majority and follow the footsteps of the Fifth Prince. In this way, if they win, they can also promote good relations with the other brothers and get a share of the pie in the Sword Sect.

Even if the emperor blames us, the fifth brother will be the only one to take the blame.

For the eldest and second oldest brothers, joining the fifth prince's camp is undoubtedly beneficial and harmless.

On the contrary, if they choose to take the risk and help the Sword Sect to fight against the Fifth Prince's camp, not to mention anything else, just Xu Yang who is creating a miracle above the blood pool is enough to intimidate the eldest and second clans.

So how could such shrewd people like them be so cunning and calculating?

In such a situation, choosing the best option is not a difficult task for both of them.

There is no doubt that the Fifth Prince is their best choice.

Sure enough, just after the sixth brother announced his position, the eldest brother also exclaimed and pretended to be disappointed in his friend.

"Fourth brother, I know you have always longed for the recognition of our father, but there is no need for you to do such an extreme thing. Today, in front of all the heroes in the world, you have completely disgraced our Central Region Royal Family!

As the eldest prince of the Central Region Dynasty and your elder brother, if I watch you harbor evil intentions and go astray and ignore you, I would be somewhat derelict in my duty as your elder brother."

Obviously, the eldest prince's position was clear after he said this. As for the second prince beside him, he just snorted coldly and didn't need to say anything. He directly asked the top guards he brought with him to move closer to the eldest prince.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. The best choice for the second prince is naturally to listen to his eldest brother, which will definitely not be wrong.

As a result, the Fourth Prince became the target of public criticism, and his fate was sealed.

The original plan arranged by Xu Yang and the Fifth Prince was finally perfectly realized in this Sword Sect.

"Hahaha, my dear disciple, these brothers of yours are really scheming!

My Sword Sect was founded with the goal of bringing benefits to fellow practitioners across the world. But now, under their concerted efforts, my Sword Sect has become the disloyal group that has colluded with you, the so-called traitor of the dynasty?

This is simply the biggest joke I have ever heard in all my years of life. Black can be turned into white, and white can be said to be black. Is this the ability of you royal princes?"

Hearing Jian Yunqing's words of encouragement, the Fourth Prince immediately understood and knew what to do next. He stood proudly on the high platform, leaving Xu Yang alone for the time being and turning his gaze to those heroes who had already completed the Sword-Asking Challenge in advance.

“Everyone, my Sword Sect has a righteous spirit that has lasted for thousands of years. I believe you are well aware of the reputation of the Seven Absolute Mountains and their appeal and status in the entire Yingzhou Continent.

Today, due to the misfortune that befell my family, these princely brothers of mine have joined hands and want to overthrow the inheritance of my Sword Sect, fearing that I would threaten their power and status.

I wonder if heroes from all walks of life would be willing to lend me a helping hand?

"Hahaha, of course. As outsiders, we have no right to get involved in your family affairs, let alone the family affairs of the royal family?

But now, what is right and wrong is determined by those of us in the world.

What's more important is that we only owe you, the fourth prince, a favor, and we don't owe any favor to the other princes and dukes. Any conflicts that occur in your family in the future will have nothing to do with us.

But today we have just finished asking for the sword and have not yet left the Sword Sect. If the various princes and nobles intend to besiege the Fourth Prince at this moment, then we, the fellow martial artists, will definitely not stand idly by. No matter how great the price, we will definitely lend a helping hand to the Prince!"

The guy in the lead was the leader of a sword alliance in the southwest region and also a person of great status in the field of kendo. Hearing his shout, many swordsmen nearby who were holding ancient magic weapons in sword furnaces were filled with righteous indignation. Inspired by the strong sword energy of the ancient magic weapons in their hands, they awakened the fighting blood in their bodies and each of them issued a deafening shout.

"Defend the glory of the Sword Sect!"

These big words were constantly shouted out by various heroes inside the Sword Sect. Unexpectedly, at this moment Xu Yang suddenly opened his eyes that emitted golden light. He was still sitting cross-legged inside the blood pool of the Sword House, but his powerful influence had enveloped every corner of the Sword House with his every breath.
