The Eighth Prince had no idea what Old Man Baihun was thinking. He pondered for a moment and weighed the pros and cons.
I decided to complete the task assigned by the Emperor first.
After all, considering my current strength, this task is not difficult.
At this time, he didn't want to directly confront Emperor Dagan.
Just as Master said, the dragon vein is about to break through.
It’s hard to say what will happen if you do it vigorously.
Whether the fairy island will prevent the dragon vein from breaking through is also a question.
If the Immortal Island takes action, it may lead to a change in the entire situation of Dagan.
Moreover, both military soul forces are in the capital. If the eighth prince rebels now.
That means facing two military soul troops head-on, which is too dangerous.
Let's deal with the Yan family first and wait and see what happens.
Although it seems that the eighth prince has reached the peak of power now.
But what did he pay for? What was the price of all this?
Of course, as long as Old Man Baihun is willing, he can arbitrarily suppress the Eighth Prince's consciousness into darkness.
The body of the eighth prince is controlled by the old man Baihun.
As for the Eighth Prince himself, it was as if he was unconscious and he would not feel anything unusual.
It can be said that the Eighth Prince now has no control over his own body at all.
Because of what happened during this period, the Eighth Prince felt that Old Man Baihun was his only support, and he was not too wary of him.
When Old Man Baihun reached this point, he used a secret method again.
Subconsciously, the Eighth Prince felt that he was trustworthy and ignored some details.
With the two combined, how could the Eighth Prince possibly resist?
However, Old Man Baihun did not choose to take over the body directly, and the Eighth Prince still has some consciousness.
At this point, although it is possible to take over someone else's body, it will still cause some problems.
He wanted to occupy this body perfectly. He had big plans and didn't want any mistakes.
If one wants to go further, the compatibility between body and soul cannot be imperfect, so the eighth prince has been kept until now.
Of course, if the Eighth Prince takes over Old Man Baihun's body now, his consciousness will still have some impact on him, such as memory and emotions.
But Old Man Baihun didn't care at all. As long as he was in a dominant position, he would be himself.
In other words, as long as he took over the body of the Eighth Prince, he would be the Eighth Prince himself.
Whether it is the eighth prince's personality, emotions, or life, they all belong to him.
How can an innate soul power be compared with an immortal who specializes in soul cultivation, and how much impact can it have on him?
Now Old Man Baihun wants to take over the dragon's nest and get the big dragon vein.
At present, some preparations need to be made to refine a magic weapon that can transform dragon veins.
The most important material for refining this magic weapon is a large amount of death energy.
It also requires the good fortune of the emperor.
It doesn’t matter who the Emperor Da Gan is; what matters is his identity as the Emperor Da Gan.
Of course, if you can possess the three treasures of the Dagan royal family, you will be more confident in dealing with the dragon veins yourself.
In order to avoid being discovered, Old Man Baihun took his time and was not in a hurry.
Until he is 100% sure, a conspirator like Old Man Baihun who is hiding behind the scenes will never take action.
He had been hiding for who knows how long, but what was before him was the only chance for the revival of the ghost way.
Of course he wanted to plan everything.
------------
After receiving the order from Emperor Da Gan, the Eighth Prince did not immediately set out to the Jianghuai region to look for the Yan family.
Instead, he went to find the Sixth Prince Zhao Que first.
This is Zhao Que’s mansion, located in a relatively remote courtyard in the capital.
Zhao Que originally placed the yard in this place in order to show that he did not want to get involved in the affairs of the capital.
Being away from the center seems to mean being away from the chaos. These twenty years have been quite peaceful.
Except for a few moments, there weren't many people around.
After all, a prince who does not have much power is not worth pleasing in the eyes of most people.
As long as you are respectful in appearance, it will be enough.
But who knows, the wind seems to be unintentional, and who knows where the flowers will fall.
The unexpected deaths of many princes caused turmoil in the court.
It was even more bizarre, as the eighth prince was born to a palace maid and the sixth prince had no cultivation.
These two princes seemed to be the winners of the final battle of the Dagan Empire.
When it falls, no one knows whether it is life or death, but when it reaches the sky, everyone cares about its well-being.
Zhao Que didn't care about the officials who came to pay him a visit.
To him, they are just some fence-sitters.
It doesn't have much value to me.
If he could ascend the throne, they would support him.
If he failed, these officials would not be loyal to him at all.
In the current situation, these officials no longer have any influence on the court.
However, Zhao Que did not waste any time. Most of the time, he asked his strategist Guo Jia to help him deal with it.
Zhao Que usually did not show up. Although those officials were somewhat dissatisfied, what could they do?
They don't have many choices now. If they don't find a backer immediately, they will probably be liquidated by the Eighth Prince.
Today, countless rhododendrons bloomed in Zhao Que's yard, as if welcoming a guest.
There is a stone table with chess pieces halfway around it.
Zhao Que and the Eighth Prince sat on both sides, with two cups of sake placed in front of them.
Zhao Que was wearing casual clothes, while the eighth prince was wearing a black robe with golden dragon and cloud patterns on it, which made him look very noble.
In the eyes of others, these two people should be at loggerheads, but no one expected that they could sit together like this.
"Long time no see, Sixth Brother." The Eighth Prince sat on the stool with a gleam in his eyes.
Seeing Zhao Que again felt like a lifetime ago.
Looking around at the bronze figures decorating the yard, I felt that Sixth Brother's taste had become a little strange.
He has experienced so much during this period of time.
I have gained so much that even now I still feel it is a little unreal.
Zhao Que's expression seemed as relaxed as before, and he did not seem happy about the arrival of these officials.
He was not happy about the praise from the Great Emperor. After listening to the words of the Eighth Prince, he also said:
"Yes, Eighth Brother, it's been a long time since we last met.
Sitting like this, I was reminded of the time we spent together in Jiangnan.
At that time, you and I wrote poems and talked about the ups and downs of life. Everything seems to have changed.
Congratulations on reaching this point."
