Such offensive remarks are not something you can say casually.
At this moment, all the princes looked at the fourth prince Chu Yuan in unison, with contempt and sarcasm between their eyebrows.
This Chu Yuan really doesn’t know how to live or die!
However, after hearing this, Chu Xiaoao was unexpectedly calm, his expression remained unchanged, and he was not angry. Instead, he smiled faintly, said nothing, and directly ordered behind the screen: "Send it up!
"
"Here!"
A response came from behind. The eunuch, with his head lowered and his waist hunched, walked out quickly with small steps, holding a foot-long exquisite sword box in his hand, and respectfully came to Chu Xiaoao's side.
"Open it and show it to the princes!"
"Here!"
The eunuch nodded and opened the sword box directly; two sharp rays of cold light shot out and shot straight into the sky.
"This is..."
Prince Chu Changtian's pupils suddenly shrank and he suddenly exclaimed.
"Fish Gut Sword!"
What?
Hearing this, all the other princes except the second prince Chu Yuntian stared at him.
The cold light gradually faded, and I saw an inch-long dagger with inscriptions all over it, lying quietly in the sword box, as if it were covered with a layer of scales.
The surface of the dagger was uneven, but arranged in a well-proportioned manner, with layers upon layers like fish intestines; it exuded soaring aura, and the sword's intent was bone-piercing. The princes just glanced at it, and they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their blood vessels were stagnant, and their bones were stinging.
It's as if, invisibly, there is a ghost demon crawling into my heart!
Fish intestine sword!
It is actually the personal sword of the founding emperor of our Cangyun Empire, the Fish Intestine Sword!
In an instant, all the princes had their fog dispelled from their hearts, and their expressions were suddenly enlightened.
No wonder...
No wonder the father gave the second prince such a great seal!
The Fish Intestine Sword is a personal sword that was refined over a hundred years by Emperor Chu Yu, the founding emperor of the Cangyun Empire. It is not only a high-level spiritual weapon, but also a symbol of the former imperial power of the Cangyun Empire!
Moreover, there is a legend circulating within the Chu family about this fish intestine sword; that is, the sword contains a great secret about the founding of the Cangyun Empire!
"The Fish Intestine Sword, the spiritual weapon Chu Yuntian first gave to his father, is actually the Fish Intestine Sword!"
"hateful!"
At this moment, Chu Yuan's face was ashen and extremely ugly.
Being of noble birth, he naturally knew the secrets of the Fish Intestine Sword; he also knew the importance of the Fish Intestine Sword to the Emperor of Cangyun Empire and even the entire Chu family.
For thousands of years, every Cangyun emperor from generation to generation wanted to find this sword and put it into his pocket. But until his father, Chu Xiaoao's generation, they had never found it.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuntian found him now and dedicated it to his father!
this...
Thinking of this, Chu Yuan smiled bitterly, said no more, and bowed back.
He knew in his heart that the secret contained in the Fish Intestine Sword was true or false. However, the significance of the Fish Intestine Sword itself to Emperor Cangyun was self-evident. Chu Yuntian could retrieve the Fish Intestine Sword for the royal family and canonize him as a prince.
, it can be said that it is well deserved!
Seeing Chu Yuan retreating, the other princes no longer questioned. Emperor Chu Xiaoao smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "The Fish Intestine Sword is the personal sword of the founder of our country, Emperor Chu Yu. It has been used since the founding of Cangyun.
, it is regarded as a symbol of imperial power. I don’t need to say more about its importance to our Chu family, I think you all know it."
"It is a great achievement for Yuntian to find the Fish Intestine Sword for me. There is nothing wrong with being canonized as a prince. I think you don't have any objections, right?"
"I will obey my father's decree!"
After hearing this, how could the princes dare to say anything? They all immediately bowed respectfully and spoke in unison.
"You are all my sons and the future of my Chu family; I will not hide anything from you!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiaoao paused and said slowly: "Actually, even if I don't say it, you should all have heard about it. This fish intestine sword is not only the sword of the ancestor emperor, but also contains a secret that is related to the world.
The big secret of the Cloud Empire!"
As soon as these words came out, all the princes looked solemn and seemed to be listening attentively.
They all knew that what Emperor Chu was going to say next was very important!
"Back then, the Eastern Wilderness was in chaos, with heroes rising together; clans and sects fighting against each other, causing our land of Cang Yun to be devastated, without enough food to eat, and the people to live in dire straits."
"At that time, my Chu family was just a small family in a small town in the Eastern Wilderness; but our ancestor, Emperor Chu Yu, sympathized with the common people and could not bear the suffering of the people, so he had long made great aspirations to build a country, unify the Eastern Wilderness, and open up the
Peace!”
Chu Xiaoao looked at the fish intestine sword in the sword box at this moment, and said with a sigh: "But at that time, on the land of Cang Yun, there were many forces, each of them was the king. The family power occupied almost half of the territory; and on the other half,
, there are various huge sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are even more powerful than the clans!"
"My Chu family is just hanging on and surviving under the conflict between the two sides; in fact, we are often in danger of being destroyed, and we don't even have the ability to protect ourselves, let alone establish a country and unify the Eastern Wasteland.
, to create eternal peace for the people?"
"Fortunately, our ancestor Chu Yu was extremely talented. Not only was he extremely talented in martial arts, but he was also smart and had great strategic talents. Therefore, he gained the respect of the black and white Venerable Pu Ruozhi, Mr. Pu, and accepted him as his disciple and taught him personally.
Martial arts led to the grand hegemony of later overpowering all the families, expelling the inherited sects, unifying the Eastern Wasteland, and establishing the Cangyun Empire today!"
Pu Ruozhi?
Upon hearing this, all the princes immediately looked at each other with strange expressions.
As one of the three top powerful men in the Cangyun Empire, they had naturally heard of the Black and White Venerable Pu Ruozhi; some of them had even been lucky enough to witness his peerless grace from a distance.
It is said that the black and white Venerable Pu Ruozhi was a close disciple of the Wushuang Sword Emperor, the most powerful sword emperor in the Tianjian Continent ten thousand years ago. Although he did not inherit the sword emperor's exquisite swordsmanship, he still had the ability to reach the sky.
The cultivation level is tyrannical, close to the imperial realm!
The princes never thought that their ancestor was actually the disciple of the legendary figure they looked up to and respected, the Black and White Venerable.
So, the ancestor, Emperor Chu Yu, was not the disciple of the Wushuang Sword Emperor?
No wonder, for thousands of years, Zhongzhou has allowed the Cangyun Empire to grow and develop, but no force has ever dared to come east.
After all, the Chu royal family has such a connection with the former First Sword Emperor, who dares to provoke them at will?
"Relying on this, our ancestor Chu Yu, the Great Emperor, controlled the destiny and fought for the way of heaven. Not only did he achieve the great goal of unifying the Eastern Wilderness, he was even able to compete with the countries in Zhongzhou and make them retreat. He became extremely powerful and was in the limelight for a while. More
There are rumors that even the Nine Emperors were alerted at that time and personally came forward to negotiate with our ancestor, Emperor Chu Yu, for fear that war would sweep through Zhongzhou."
"But the Eastern Wasteland is barren, while the Central Province is rich. Our ancestors were young and vigorous, and the empire was developing rapidly, so they would not live in a corner of the wasteland, so they ignored the dissuasion and wanted to take over the Central Province. As a result, not only did they offend the nine great emperors, but also
It has led to an alliance and confrontation between all the forces in Zhongzhou."
"However, even so, my ancestor Chu Yu and our Cangyun Empire were not afraid, let alone flinched. They marched forward bravely and killed all the forces in the entire Tianjian Continent. The empire was frightened and trembling;
The unified plan is almost achievable!"
Speaking of this, Chu Xiaoao paused, his expression suddenly became sad, and sighed: "But at this moment, our ancestor Chu Yu suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. The time was so fast that even the crown prince had no time to stand.
Then he passed away and passed away."
"Immediately afterwards, the powerful men under the Cangyun Empire either surrendered or became independent and fell apart overnight, which directly led to the collapse of our Cangyun Empire. The conquering army retreated steadily and returned to this Eastern Wasteland."
"If Venerable Black and White hadn't come forward in the end to negotiate with Zhongzhou and all parties, our Chu family might have been wiped out a thousand years ago!"
After the words fell, Chu Xiaoao looked quite helpless and shook his head bitterly.
Thousands of years have passed, and things have changed; but the ancestor's ambition is still engraved in the hearts of every Chu people. But it has not yet been completed, naturally making every Chu emperor, including Chu Xiaoao, feel deeply guilty and shameless to face their ancestors.
"Although thousands of years have passed, the ambitions of our ancestors are still there, and our Chu family's beliefs are still the same. Entering Zhongzhou and getting rid of poverty is the mission that every Chu emperor in our Cangyun Empire always keeps in mind!"
Suddenly, Chu Xiaoao raised his head, a look of determination bloomed in his eyes.
