232 The Crown Prince

Li Chengzong appeared to be a young and handsome man. He was dressed in black, and he always had a gentle smile on his face, giving him a very friendly aura.

He looked like a benevolent ruler.

As for the actual situation, that was another matter.

The process of the audience didn’t need to be mentioned.

It was nothing more than crown prince Li Chengzong sitting on top of the palace, holding the Yan Emperor’s Imperial Order, and reading the contents.

Then, li Chengzong used his own name and a rather cordial attitude to chat with the Qingfeng sect’s sect leader, elders, and important disciples. He encouraged them to put in more effort and use conventional words in the upcoming battle.

He could only say that.

The Yunxiao sect still had some influence over the Feiyun state. At the very least, the Qingfeng sect had to listen to the Yunxiao sect’s words to some extent. Otherwise, the Feiyun state would be dumbfounded if the Qingfeng sect sealed off the road to the South and all kinds of trade and cultivation resources could not enter, let alone comparing their strength and starting a war.

But to the Imperial court, it was nothing much. If you’re being polite, then I’ll be polite. If you want to have a fight, I won’t do it ... Unless the Yunxiao sect speaks up for you.

Even though li Chengzong was the Crown Prince, he could only speak a little more courteously. His main goal was to persuade him, and he didn’t dare to say things like ‘what goals must be achieved, or else I’ll hold you responsible’.

However, li Chengzong still mentioned the conflict within the Qingfeng sect.

“Lao Ai, you’re all subjects of Great Yan, and you’re also cultivators who share the same cultivation path. Since you’re from the same sect, is there anything that can’t be solved through discussion? No matter if it was the Imperial court or Yunxiao sect, they were not willing to see such a thing happen. I hope everyone will remember this.”

These words were more of a persuasion.

Kong Tong did not say anything, but hai Sande rushed to answer.

After that, they didn’t talk about other important things.

Lu Qing, who was watching from the side, felt a little bored. He quickly lost interest in the audience.

After that, he walked around the palace and observed the people the Crown Prince had brought. historical

There were a total of fifty of them.

More than half of them could be ignored. Most of these people were servants, maids, Qi condensation cultivators, or even those who hadn’t even entered Qi condensation.

The other twenty or so people were more elite. Among them, there were seven Qiming cultivators. Excluding li Chengzong himself, out of the remaining six, four of them were riding on Dragons outside. They should be cultivators from the Great Yan Dynasty’s Palace. There were two other people in the hall who were accompanying Wang Jie. They should be the two Yunxiao sect Qiming.

Apart from them, the remaining twenty cultivators were all Foundation establishment cultivators, and half of them were from Yunxiao sect.

He brought quite a lot of people.

......

At Kong Tong’s invitation, the Crown Prince also stopped his palace on the xuanqing peak.

After everyone had left, li Chengzong and Wang Bei turned to the back of the palace.

“Your Highness,” Wang Qian bowed slightly and said,”it seems that we don’t have to worry too much about the matter that hai Sande said.” With us around, the Feiyun state shouldn’t have any internal strife.”

“That’s good,” Li Chengzong’s attitude towards Wang Lian was still very good and respectful. then, junior Guardian of the Xuanji sect, do you think I’ll succeed if I ask the Qingfeng sect for support? ”

“It’s hard to say now.” Wang Qian analyzed, ” if it was in the past, we would have just fought for the position of the Qingfeng sect’s sect leader. If he managed to win over the Qingfeng sect, it would be equivalent to the Feiyun state and the Xue state becoming his Highness ‘supporters. Although these two regions are barren and have few talents, at least a few golden core cultivators and an important member of the sect Alliance will be of great help to Your Highness “great cause.”

it’s just that the Qingfeng sect is in a mess now. It will be very complicated to win the support of the Feiyun state and the Xue state as a whole.

Wang Qian explained in detail, and Li Chengzong also listened patiently.

Lu Qing, who had not left yet, touched his chin. He felt that this was rather interesting.

The Crown Prince had indeed come to the Feiyun state for something.

The Emperor of Xuanji Great Yan, li Shiwen, didn’t have much time left.

Li Shiwen was a nascent soul cultivator and was already 700 years old. At this age, he had almost reached the end of his life as a Yuanying cultivator.

Of course, as the Yan Emperor, he had an extremely rich amount of resources. Even though he had reached the upper limit of his lifespan, with his strength and power, he could still collect all kinds of magical cultivation techniques, treasures, and medicinal pills from all over the world.

The 700-year-old Yan Emperor had already killed countless crown princes and princes.

However, li Chengzong seemed to have a good chance.

He wasn’t that old, not even two hundred years old, and he was about to reach Jindan. If he became a golden core cultivator, he would have nearly 500 years of lifespan, which meant that he could still wait for another 300 years.

Of course, if he didn’t become a golden core cultivator, he could probably live for another hundred years. Even if he waited until his father’s life was over, it would be difficult for him to ascend to the throne with his initial enlightenment stage strength.

However, he didn’t have to worry too much about this matter. He was one hundred percent sure that he could enter the Golden core stage. If he didn’t even have this bit of confidence, how could he be the Crown Prince?

However, his main source of pressure was his nephew.

Besides the Crown Prince, there was also the Imperial grandson, Yingluo.

In this world, due to the long lifespans of cultivators, the inheritance of the throne might not necessarily be inherited by the son. For example, li Shiwen had countless generations of children.

It was true that li Chengzong was a son he had given birth to more than 200 years ago. However, at the moment, li Chengzong’s biggest competitor, the Imperial grandson Li Xuanhao, was li Shiwen’s great-great-grandson. He was only 140 years old this year, but he was already at the peak of the late stage of initial enlightenment.

There were three important factors to inherit the throne: Would he be able to obtain the support of Yunxiao sect, the support of the royal family, the current Emperor, and the support of the Imperial court?

These three factors were separated into front and back.

The most important thing was whether they could obtain the support of Yunxiao sect. In a sense, it could even be said that with this support, it did not matter if the other two did not have it. For example, when li Shiwen ascended the throne, Yunxiao sect supported him, and his father could not do anything even if he did not like him.

Yunxiao sect supported li Chengzong. This could be seen from the fact that Wang Cong, the sect’s golden core elder, stayed by his side for a long time and even took on the official position of the crown prince’s Grand Guardian.

However, the problem was that Xuanji Yunxiao sect was so huge, and no one stipulated that they could only support one person.

Li Xuanhao was also supported by the sect.

Although li Shiwen had never publicly said it, he vaguely liked his Imperial grandson more. Li Shiwen was relatively more supported by the forces of the Imperial court and the families of the officials in Ji Province.

Even though Lu Qing had never seen the open and secret struggle between the two of them, he could imagine it.

This time, li Chengzong had come to the Feiyun state for two reasons. One was to participate in the war, to supervise it, and to gain experience and credit. The second was to win over more supporters.
