Chapter 846 The Cold Throne

"I regret it." The eldest prince Jiang Qun said calmly, not realizing how shameless his words were.

What do you mean I want to be the emperor? Who heard it? Do you have any evidence?

"Hey, I taught you to keep your promises and be honest and trustworthy since you were young, but you forgot!" Emperor Xia was furious. He had finally tricked the man into letting him go. How could he go back on his word? Jiang Qun looked at his father in disbelief. Why didn't you show your honesty and trustworthiness when you pretended to be sick just now? "It's no use for you to go back on your word. I have recorded everything with the photo ball." Emperor Xia knew what kind of person his eldest son was and was fully prepared.

Just be an emperor honestly.

"I have no shame!" Jiang Qun said with his neck stiff, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, which is totally inconsistent with the elegant impression given by the outside world.

The father and son glared at each other, like two fighting cocks, neither willing to give in.

In the end, Emperor Xia couldn't hold on and was defeated first.

He sighed and said, "Look at you. Everyone in your family is vying to inherit the throne, but why do you refuse to inherit it?"

"As the heir to the throne, you will not only be the master of the Central Continent, but also the carrier of national destiny. You also know the mysteries of national destiny, which are very helpful for cultivation."

Jiang Qun also confided his true feelings: "Dad, you know best since you are on the throne. This throne looks comfortable to sit on, but in fact it is restricted everywhere. Apart from other things, can you go on secret visits like me all day long?"

"A cultivator seeks to be free and at ease. I have become an unfree person after I sat on the throne. Even if I have the help of national destiny, my state of mind has fallen. Can I still cultivate in the future?"

"Hmm? Dad, why do you look like that? As a cultivator, don't you even understand such a simple truth?"

Emperor Xia: “…”

Don't think you're great just because you have a higher talent for cultivation than your father.

"Let's talk about the ancestor of the forbidden land. Although I don't know his identity, I guess he once sat on the throne. Why did he step down from the throne? He must have felt uncomfortable."

"How about this, you pick someone you like to be the heir. I think the second, fourth, and fifth brothers all have this ambition. They will inherit the throne, and I will assist them to ensure that they don't make mistakes."

Emperor Xia blew his beard and glared: "Nonsense, our family has never had such a precedent in 100,000 years."

"Dad, if you don't have anything else, I'll leave first. You can just focus on taking care of your health." Jiang Qun said as he was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Emperor Xia suddenly had an idea and called Jiang Qun.

Jiang Qun walked back helplessly, put his hands in his sleeves, and asked with a bow, "What are you doing?"

"Have you ever said that when you go to the people incognito and encounter injustice, you feel very happy when you reveal your identity?"

Jiang Qun hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "...Yes."

"Then how about this, since you know all my habits, you can become like me and handle official business for a few days, and I'll go out and play for a few days."

Jiang Qun looked at his father in shock. "Dad, do you want to hear what you are saying?" Emperor Xia felt that his son was right. For a cultivator, the most important thing is to be free and easy. "I don't have many good days left to live, and I can't enjoy life. As my eldest son, what's wrong with you sharing your father's worries?"

"Yes, sir." Since his father had said so much, Jiang Qun had no choice but to do as he was told.

"Come, come, then you sit here." Emperor Xia quickly made room and pressed his eldest son on the throne, while he went to the treasury to look for treasures that could conceal his identity.

Emperor Xia's cultivation level is mediocre, he is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage. He can be easily recognized by relying on his own disguise. But it doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't have good means, the national treasury has plenty of means to hide his identity.

Jiang Qun looked at his father's receding back. He could see his father's joy from his back, as if he was finally freed from the throne.

He sighed, feeling that the throne was not comfortable at all, it was cold and chilling.

"Why doesn't this chair even have a cushion?"

"Besides, my dad has been sitting here for such a long time, and he still doesn't feel warm?"

…

Perhaps the news that the Second Prince was inviting Lu Yang to a banquet was leaked by someone with ulterior motives, or perhaps the other princes could not control their tempers. Ever since the Immortal Fairy left the Second Prince, she has received gifts from the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince every day.

Although Lu Yang's wish may not have the final say, it can still play a huge role in the succession to the throne.

Everyone wants to win over this heavyweight bargaining chip.

The Immortal Fairy had no idea how important she was, nor did she care why someone gave her gifts. She accepted them all generously.

She used these gifts to help Lu Yang practice, and his sleep quality was much better than before. Lu Yang himself was competing with the invincible baby in the spiritual space.

"One sword becomes ten thousand swords!"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Lu Yang shouted loudly, and densely packed sword blades appeared above the spiritual space, making people terrified.

The invincible infant also used the technique of turning one sword into ten thousand swords, and the sword energy turned into substantial swords and emerged from the ground.

The man and the baby attacked at the same time, tens of thousands of sharp blades collided, flames splashed, and murderous intent soared to the sky.

Then Lu Yang and the Invincible Infant used the Village in the Palm again. The two palms collided and there was a loud bang like thunder.

Lu Yang used two killing moves in succession, but his spiritual power was insufficient. Just as he was catching his breath, the invincible infant suddenly rushed over and knocked him away.

"Stop, stop, stop. No more fighting." Seeing that the invincible baby was about to continue fighting, Lu Yang quickly called for a stop.

The total amount of spiritual power he has is the same as that of the Invincible Infant. The Invincible Infant still has some energy left after performing two moves in a row, which means that the spiritual power used by the Invincible Infant to construct these two moves was more detailed and there was no waste. This is what he needs to learn.

"Perform it again and let me see."

Lu Yang has the Immortal Fairy's oral instructions and can command the Invincible Baby at will. Not only can he let the Invincible Baby practice with him, but he can also let the Invincible Baby repeatedly perform a certain move for him to observe.

In this way, Lu Yang's cultivation speed increased significantly.

"Hey, the fourth prince of the Jiang family wants to invite me over." On this day, the Immortal Fairy received gifts as usual, and found an invitation among the gifts. The tone of the fourth prince in the letter was full of generosity, saying that he hoped Lu Yang could come to his house as a guest to show his hospitality.

Lu Yang heard that the Fourth Prince had a strong sense of the underworld and loved making friends. He did not care about the identities of his friends and included people from all walks of life.

Lu Yang didn't pay much attention to this before, but ever since he heard from Meng's father that the Fourth Prince also had the ambition to seize the throne, he began to think about the Fourth Prince's purpose in doing so.

People from all walks of life are all his friends. On the other hand, the Fourth Prince has spies in every corner. It is a terrifying intelligence network. I am afraid that even the intelligence that Senior Brother Dai has is not as detailed as that of the Fourth Prince.

Lu Yang thought about it and it seemed that the Fourth Prince felt that he had given enough gifts and had established a good relationship with him, so he sent out the invitation.

"Fairy, are you going?"

"Let's go." The Immortal Fairy had a great time the last time she went to the Second Prince's house.
