Today's battle really scared the people of the First Prince and the Second Prince. They didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would make such a big splash and actually have a strong supporter like Xu Yang, who could single-handedly defeat the entire Seven Jue Mountain Sword Sect. How could they resist such a talent with their current strength?

Therefore, after the eldest prince and the second prince walked out of the sword pavilion, they always had such a concern in their hearts. They were really worried that the fifth prince would kill all the kings and princes on the Qi Jue Mountain in a rage. With Xu Yang's strength, he should be able to do it. In this way, the fifth prince would directly become the person closest to the throne.

In fact, the idea of ​​the eldest and the second brother was not groundless. The fifth brother had discussed with Xu Yang before whether it was necessary to do so, but Xu Yang denied the fifth brother's quick success idea on the spot. After all, if he really did that, the heroes of the world would gossip about it, and how would the fifth brother calm it down?

"How can a monarch who succeeded to the throne by brutally killing his own brothers bring true peace to the people of the world?

If he were to rise to power in this way, it wouldn't be long before the entire cultivation world would undergo earth-shaking changes, and more and more people would have thoughts of unrest, and the Yingzhou Continent would be in utter ruin forever."

After hearing what Xu Yang said, Lao Wu decisively gave up the idea and proceeded according to the original plan.

The fifth brother stayed here and ignored his brothers and sisters, continuing to make the fourth brother the target of public criticism.

All the other kings and princes agreed to this proposal.

The third brother was not present and was just a puppet dressed as a scout, so naturally he would not make any protest.

Lao Liu’s mind is now completely occupied with Xiaohua’s new physical body, Madam Qingcheng, and he has begun to turn a deaf ear to everything else.

As for the seventh brother, he should be the one who hates the Fourth Prince the most in the team. If Xu Yang had not acted in time, he would be dead now. As a result, the entire team of the seven princes became unprecedentedly harmonious, and everyone unanimously directed their attacks on the Fourth Prince.

At this time, Xu Yang had already arrived ahead of everyone else and went directly to the top of Qi Jue Mountain to meet the Fourth Prince who was guarding there.

The Fourth Prince was disheartened at this time and had become a complete loser. However, he had never thought about his own ambitions for the kingdom from beginning to end. All his dreams were destroyed in the hands of an unknown Xu Yang.

"Are you here to kill me?"

The Fourth Prince turned around calmly and met Xu Yang's gaze. His tone was quite calm at this moment. He no longer had the high-spirited attitude that he had when he was in the Sword Tower. He gave people the feeling that he had aged by dozens of years in an instant, and the brilliance in his eyes had gradually faded.

"I won't kill you. After all, you are the fourth prince of the dynasty. I will never bring more trouble to the prince. Instead, I will help him move forward. The reason I came to you is to ask for something from you.

In exchange, not only will I not kill you, I will also ensure that your lineage as the Fourth Prince will have a complete end.

You can think of this as a reward for your calm acceptance of such an outcome, or as compensation for the sudden collapse of the Qi Jue Mountain Sword Sect.

Let's be frank. Now all the kings and princes have their own strategies and chips in their hands to compete for the world. As the first person to be eliminated, you are naturally the safest person.

Because only you have the opportunity to withdraw from this power struggle so calmly.

As long as I make some efforts, although Qi Jue Mountain will no longer have the name of Sword Sect, it will be able to help you train a team of equal strength, which will be enough to protect you and your mother for the rest of your lives.

Of course, if you are not willing to accept this outcome, you can continue to resist me, and then you will lose this last chance. "

Xu Yang's voice was calm, but filled with an irresistible majesty. The Fourth Prince certainly understood that with this guy's strength, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant just by moving his fingers.

He could have continued to refuse for the sake of his dream and to defend his dignity and honor as a prince, but he knew very well that if he went against Xu Yang at this stage, not only would it not bring about any change in the outcome, but more importantly, he was worried that he would implicate his mother.

Although the Fourth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Chen, is no longer favored by the Emperor and cannot provide any help to the Fourth Prince, as a son, the Fourth Prince absolutely cannot ignore his mother.

Since there is no hope of inheriting the throne, it is better to settle for the second best, as Xu Yang suggested, to ensure that he and his mother live a prosperous and peaceful life for the rest of their lives. This is also a way out.

"Isn't it this Royal Order that belongs to me that you want?"

Xu Yang chuckled and nodded, "It's comfortable to communicate with smart people. Yes, not only your King's Order, I also need a part of your exclusive bloodline. If you give me these two things, I will use the influence of the Fifth Prince to help you build a guard army composed of strong people in the cultivation world and let them stay in Qi Jue Mountain.

Although the reputation of the Sword Sect in Qi Jue Mountain has been overthrown and there is absolutely no hope of revival, the terrain of Qi Jue Mountain is dangerous and it is naturally an excellent place to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Once this place is given a reasonable name, it will surely be easy to gather countless practitioners from all over the world here. At that time, living next to the Qi Jue Mountain, your mother's bedroom will be equivalent to having an unbreakable barrier.

The current emperor has issued a decree for your mother, so from now on you and your mother will be completely away from this power struggle."

The fourth prince smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do I have any other choice but to agree to you?

Over the years, I have sacrificed too much and missed too much in order to obtain the position of emperor. I am really tired of it.

Now that the Sword Sect has completely perished, I have no desires or ambitions, and perhaps quitting is the best outcome.

If you can help me fulfill the promises you just made, I am willing to trust you once."

As soon as the Fourth Prince finished speaking, he raised a sharp sword in his palm and gently cut his wrist. A portion of the extremely pure True Dragon royal bloodline was released. Under Xu Yang's special method of sealing, he successfully obtained it. Then a golden token flew in front of Xu Yang. It was the King's Order that belonged to the Fourth Prince.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince. I, Xu Yang, always keep my word. I will fulfill all the conditions I promised you. But you have to give me some time, because there are still some things I need to deal with.

Especially your brothers, they all have their own ulterior motives. Now that the Qi Jue Mountain Sword Sect has fallen, they should all have follow-up actions and step up their efforts to compete for the position of crown prince.

Little did they know that the real conflict and catastrophe in the entire Central Region had just begun!"
