Chapter 101 The old friend comes, the emperor's thoughts!
"Sir, which batch is this today?"
Seeing Xia Yu seeing off another group of visitors, Xia Cai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
As the situation became increasingly tense, the princes' mansions increased their solicitation efforts, and even the third prince's mansion sent people to invite him.
With Xia Yu's strength and reputation, he actually offered a high price of five hundred spirit stones per day. Even Xia Caihongqi, who was in the spirit spring realm, could get thirty spirit stones per day.
But Xia Yu refused all these solicitations.
He still doesn't like this little spiritual stone.
When he wins the championship, the gambling house will pay him tens of thousands of dollars.
Another reason is that he just wants to help the Ninth Prince. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to help the Ninth Prince's enemies just for a little money.
It's just that the Ninth Prince didn't send anyone to invite him, so he stayed dormant in the inn.
Among the princes, the competition between the second prince and the third prince was the fiercest. After all, the eldest prince died unexpectedly early in his life, so it was the second prince who ascended the throne in order.
It was only because the second prince was not very virtuous and was often reprimanded by Zhou Renzong that the third prince saw an opportunity, and the two men fought fiercely.
On the first night, the practitioners in the two houses had a fight, and on the second night, both sides mobilized their armies.
Overnight, the shouts of killing rose to the sky, and the people in the city were too frightened to go out and hid in their homes. After all, this kind of drama of fighting for the throne would not affect the common people.
Fighting to death outside has nothing to do with Xia Yu.
In the small courtyard of the inn, he simply released the jade cauldron and began to refine a furnace of Silver Light Pulse Fixing Pill. This kind of pill required three rounds of refining, which was time-consuming.
I concentrated on refining the elixir until the seventh day, when the situation outside became even more chaotic.
Not only were the second and third princes fighting, but all the princes could not restrain themselves and started to move.
Since the competition is based on strength, let’s do it together.
All the princes were dispatched, and even the fourteenth prince, who was only eight years old, took action under the instigation of some people. A melee in the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom was about to break out.
The mountain behind the palace, deep underground.
"Your Majesty, it's too chaotic outside. Why don't you take out the imperial edict?" Du Bao asked.
"These rebellious grandsons!" Zhou Yuan slapped his palm on the small table in front of him, pointing at the imperial edict and said, "If I take it out, will these scoundrels be able to settle down?"
"This..." The Du brothers were speechless.
If this imperial edict still has some effect at the beginning, by this time, I am afraid it will only add fuel to the fire. Everyone is clearly on the verge of breaking out, and there is no way to compromise because of an imperial edict.
"Then what does the Supreme Emperor mean?" Du Jiao asked again.
Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, "It is nonsense to let an eight-year-old child become the emperor and the queen to listen to politics behind the curtain! These relatives deserve to die. Do they really think that there is no one in the Zhou family?"
It turned out that the imperial edict left by the emperor actually passed the throne to the eight-year-old fourteenth prince. The purpose was to let the queen control the power. In this way, the rights of the relatives would override the royal family.
It was precisely for this reason that after Zhou Yuan received the imperial edict, he did not return it.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since we want to fight, let them have a good fight. I just want to see what these grandchildren are capable of."
On the tenth day, Xia Yu had just finished turning the Silver Light Pulse Fixing Pill when an earth-shaking loud noise was heard in the sky above the capital of Great Zhou.
Two strong men from the Changhe Realm fought together.
The ancestors of the Changhe Realm are also known as "Great Monks". Each one of them is an indomitable big shot. When fighting, they have the power to overwhelm mountains and seas.
When they fought, swords and sword shadows kept intertwining in the sky. Looking up at the sky, the sword lights turned into countless light nets, and huge sword shadows kept falling, and every house suffered unreasonable disasters.
It would be difficult for a mortal to stay out of such a strong fight. Only a strong person would not care about these stairs.
For a time, a large number of houses were torn apart, and the sky was covered with fire and rain, burning, and the city felt like the end of the world.
The people finally got scared and fled in panic. However, when they fled to the city gate, they found that there were teams of black-clad sergeants blocking the city gate and not allowed in or out.
As a result, everyone is confused and can't go back or escape. What should I do?
At this moment, a group of well-dressed silver-clad Yulin guards suddenly rushed over, like wolves and tigers. These people didn't even say hello, they just slashed at the black-clad sergeants.
"Kill!" The two armies suddenly collided together like a torrent.
There is fighting in the sky, with more and more practitioners, and various spiritual weapons and magical weapons filling the sky; there is also fighting on the ground, with soldiers colliding together and killing each other, as if it is really the end of the world.
Fortunately, there was no one guarding the city at this moment, so the common people saw the opportunity and swarmed out.
"Oh, how could it be like this?" Yunzhu, wearing a long skirt and veil, stood in front of the inn, looking at the mess outside.
Their inn was not attacked. After all, there were many practitioners living here, and the powerful Xia Yu also lived here. No one who was short-sighted would dare to provoke them.
But there are a lot of people living here, and the innkeeper is almost running out of food.
It's okay for a practitioner like Xia Yu to say that he lives by eating Qi, and if he can't take a bigu pill, he can survive for a few days, but it can't be said for a mortal like Yunzhu.
There was no food, and there were complaints inside the inn.
At this moment, an old man came in the form of a rainbow, and the white light fell to the ground. It was a tall and thin old man with white hair and white beard, looking at Yunzhu with a smile.
"May I ask, Mr. Xia, is he here?"
Yunzhu took a look and quickly bowed and saluted, "I have met Senior Du."
Of course she knew Du Jiao. When they were in Hongya Mountain, Zhou Cheng, the eldest disciple of Huolian Ancestor, poisoned Yunzhu, and it was Du Jiao who helped her solve it.
"Yu'er is refining elixirs in the courtyard." Yunzhu said, taking Du Jiao into the inn.
Seeing another Changhe Realm ancestor appear, everyone in the inn was so frightened that they became quiet and hid one after another.
Xia Yu, who was refining elixirs, heard that Du Jiao was coming and went out to greet him, "Senior Du."
Du Jiao laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Xia, long time no see."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "It's only been a few months. Senior, please take a seat."
Du Jiao sat down and then smiled and said, "I heard that you came to participate in the spring competition to compete for a chance to enter the Wood Realm Spiritual Sea, so Du Bao and I begged the old master for a chance."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out a token.
Xia Yu was a little surprised and said with a wry smile, "Senior Du, actually I participated in the Spring Tournament, so this token is already stable."
Anyone who enters the top three in the Spring Tournament is eligible to enter the Wood Realm Spiritual Sea. It can be said that Xia Yu already has a token in his hand.
Du Jiao laughed and said, "I have been out to inquire about it these days, and I know that you are very powerful, not to mention the top three. It is not difficult to win the first place. But since I also asked for a token, don't waste it.
It would also be a good idea to let your mother or subordinates go in."
"Then thank you, Senior Du." Xia Yu did not refuse.
After all, the Du brothers asked for it with good intentions. Xia Yu wanted to take advantage of this friendship and immediately put away the token.
At this time, Yunzhu brought tea, and the two chatted again. Du Jiao's old master had another eighty years of life, and Du Jiao no longer had to be secretive, so he just said.
“Mr.
Xia Yu suddenly realized, secretly thinking that the Supreme Emperor was indeed cunning, letting his grandsons fight to the death, while he was hiding behind the scenes to manipulate the situation.
He couldn't help but said, "Since the Supreme Emperor still has eighty years left, why not take charge of the imperial power himself again?"
Du Jiao shook his head and said, "The Supreme Emperor is already at the peak of the Changhe Realm. He is planning to use the limited time to attack the Mountain and Sea Realm. He has no idea about the throne. He hopes that the person who sits on the throne will be stable and calm, and will not cause trouble for him!"
"That's true." Xia Yu nodded. The Supreme Emperor obviously wanted to find an emperor who was mentally stable, could control the world, and would not cause chaos or cause trouble, so as not to interfere with his cultivation.
