Royal drill ground, war preparation hall.
There were figures standing inside, and the aura of each of them was extremely powerful. The nine people leading them were the nine princes of the Jinghong Empire.
Some of them had indifferent expressions, some had faint smiles, and some looked nervous.
Among the nine people, the person standing behind the eldest prince had the most powerful aura. When the other princes looked at him, their expressions were extremely solemn.
"Seventh Brother, you even brought in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Do you really want to win?"
The third prince Lin Yu spoke lightly. Although his expression seemed very calm, the contempt in his eyes was hard to conceal.
Hearing this, the others also looked towards the Seventh Prince.
In the entire preparation hall, except for a few princes who have reached the perfection of the Spirit Transformation Stage, the other cultivators are in the Void Refinement Stage, and Su Chen's figure is particularly eye-catching.
Everyone looked at Lin Jin with disdain in their eyes.
Lin Mu had previously thought that Lin Jin had ulterior motives in bringing along a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, or that he had concealed his cultivation level and was preparing to use it as a trump card.
But now after meeting each other, he was almost certain that Su Chen had definitely not hidden his cultivation level.
In order to ensure victory this time, Lin Mu even borrowed a detection treasure, which was a mid-level earth-grade treasure. Basically, no one could escape his sight.
Lin Mu looked at Lin Jin coldly, with a faint golden light flashing in his eyes, and he smiled contemptuously.
What's the point of hiding your cultivation in the early stage of the Void Refinement Stage? There are only two Void Refinement Stages available.
The rules of the battle for the throne are very simple, similar to a normal competition. Each prince selects one of his subordinates to come on stage and challenge other princes. The challenged person cannot refuse, even if there is a gap in realm.
For example, if the eldest prince sends a Void Refinement Stage cultivator to challenge an Early Void Refinement Stage cultivator, he cannot refuse. This can be said to be extremely unfair.
This means that the two princes can target one person at the same time and specifically challenge his subordinates.
If there is no one left under his command, the prince can either go on the field himself or choose to give up.
In the end, whoever wins will be the king of this stunning empire.
The rules are so casual, but the more casual the rules are, the fewer loopholes there are, and the competition is more about one's own hard power and strategy.
Lin Jin said calmly, "It's still unknown who will win or lose."
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
Lin Yu smacked his lips and said with disdain, "So, Old Seven is still very confident that he can beat us? It seems that you still have some trump cards that are not used."
Everyone immediately looked at Lin Jin, then took a serious look at the three people behind him, and finally sneered.
One is in the Spirit Transformation Stage, one is in the early stage of Void Refinement, and one is in the middle stage of Void Refinement.
What can such a combination do even if it has a trump card?
Although this is the logic, there were still changes in the eyes of a few people looking at Lin Jin. When the battle for the throne begins, they will get rid of him first.
This will prevent everyone from fighting each other to the point of getting beaten to a pulp, and allow him to come out and take advantage.
When Lin Yu saw this scene, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He asked everyone to hate Lin Jin, so that one person could be eliminated and everyone would have one less competitor.
Although there is only one person difference between nine people and eight people, it will greatly increase the chances of each other competing for the throne, so everyone's thoughts are close to each other.
The fifth prince Lin Hong suddenly spoke with a faint smile on his face.
"Big Brother, since you are the strongest and my seventh brother seems to have no chance of winning the battle for the throne, why don't you wait for me to finish him off so that my seventh brother can rest early and show off your power."
With Lin Jin's strength, he can almost completely crush Lin Jin on the surface. He even only needs to send someone in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
If Lin Jin really has any trump card, it can also consume Lin Mu's strength.
Lin Mu did not refuse. He said with an unfathomable smile, "No problem."
Hearing this, Lin Hong narrowed his eyes and the smile on his lips became brighter.
Su Chen watched this group of people fighting openly and secretly. Nine people, nine hundred minds.
Facing their overt and covert targeting, Lin Jin did not show any strong emotions, but instead appeared extremely calm.
In his opinion, as long as Su Chen is there, his chances of winning this time will be very high.
A powerful cultivator who is at least in the half-step fusion stage is no match for Lin Mu even if he has three cultivators who have reached the perfect stage of the void refining stage.
but......
A solemn look flashed across Lin Jin's eyes. This time, the battle for the throne had too much freedom. Formations, talismans, and even many powerful magic weapons could be used.
A high degree of freedom is simply a competition of wealth.
The eldest prince's family background is the richest. His mother's family is from another royal power in Jinghong Empire, the Du family.
The Du family is just a vassal of the Jinghong Empire. If they help Lin Mu with all their strength, even the Du family's ancestor who is in the fusion stage can come out to help directly.
Fortunately, the participants in the battle had been determined three days ago, and the ancestor of the Du family was not among them.
Perhaps because they were worried about King Jinghong's fear, the Du family did not dare to help Lin Mu openly.
Among the seven people under Lin Mu's command, three have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, three are in the late Nascent Soul stage, and one is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Their strength is unrivaled among all the others, and they almost completely crush the other princes.
And this is just the surface strength. With Lin Mu's means, he will definitely be able to obtain many treasures, and his strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Lin Jin was speechless. Are Lin Yu and Lin Hong both idiots?
Among the nine people present, everyone has some trump cards. It would be better for them to target Lin Mu, the strongest one, rather than the weakest one.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until the strongest one is dealt with, and then we can fight each other?
Of course, he thought this way without considering Su Chen.
However, Lin Hong's goal was indeed achieved. Under normal circumstances, Lin Mu would kill him as soon as he came up. This was equivalent to allowing him to test Lin Mu and consume his strength.
After a round of verbal confrontation and mental struggle, the preparation area fell into silence.
About half an hour passed.
A sharp voice was heard, echoing throughout the entire training ground.
"quiet!"
"The King has arrived!"
The first person to come out was a eunuch dressed in white cloud-patterned silk, and he exuded an extremely powerful aura.
Half-step fusion stage!
The entire royal martial arts arena fell silent in an instant, and you could hear a pin drop. Countless people looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes filled with fear.
Soon, a middle-aged man in lavender clothes walked out. He had a resolute face and was majestic without being angry, like an emperor ruling the world, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
A suffocating and terrifying aura faintly sensed from him.
Jinghong Empire, Jinghong King.
A cultivator at the Half-Step Return to Origin realm!
Countless people looked at King Jinghong in horror, not daring to breathe.
This is the pillar that stabilizes the Jinghong Empire. As long as he exists, the Jinghong Empire will never collapse.
