"Then, you were all impressed by my perseverance and ability, and by the prosperity under the rule of the Fifteenth Prince!"
"They immediately realized their mistake, took the lead in abandoning darkness and turning to the light, and sincerely pledged their loyalty to the fifteenth prince."
"This matter can be publicized—it will generate buzz and also give the Fifteenth Prince ample face. What do you all think?"
General Zuo analyzed in a deep voice.
As he described the incident, he subtly omitted his boastful moments, and secretly rejoiced at the sight of the two men's shocked expressions.
The two chief worshippers were unexpected.
General Zuo has always suppressed enemies with force, and I thought he was a rough man.
The suggestion is quite insightful!
Is it possible that these powerful individuals, who were geniuses in their youth, are so strong that they never have the opportunity to demonstrate their wisdom and strategy...?
The two men listened and found no problems, nodding in agreement: "General Zuo's plan is very appropriate."
"Then let's put on a good show and keep chasing after them."
"only..."
The two hesitated.
They are all ready to help support their tribe!
The two large clumps of spiritual energy that I rubbed together in my hands were neither good to use nor good to not use.
Below is the densely populated area of Demon Emperor Mountain; this is a weakness!
General Zuo's face stiffened, and he said, "Now, use it to hit me!"
"Hmm... alright, that's the only way!"
"General Zuo, please forgive me!"
The two high priests' expressions changed, and they turned the strength they had used to lend a helping hand into a bombardment, smashing it onto General Zuo!
General Zuo's expression stiffened as he helped the clan block the aftershocks.
Damn, that really hurts!
If it weren't for having to take care of the clan's territory... hmph.
With my abilities, I hope I can secure a good position with the Fifteenth Prince... A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
......
"It seems the two elders will not be returning!"
The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince quickly grasped the key points, and a hint of dejection flashed in his eyes.
The situation was so bad that he was almost losing hope.
Although the strongest elder of Demon Emperor Mountain still supports him.
The clan elders believed that Lin Ye, having become a disciple of the Lord of the Great Wilderness, was no longer qualified to compete for the throne.
He is suspected of being a puppet, and moreover, there may be problems with his status as a prince, which is a consensus among the higher-ups of Demon Emperor Mountain.
But that's all the advantages I have!
If you show no mercy to your brothers and sisters, then your fifteenth brother won't show any mercy to you in the future...
The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince was somewhat apprehensive.
Then, news came from outside that two high-ranking officials had brazenly intervened to stop General Zuo.
Despite not having achieved anything yet, they are still pursuing it.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with delight.
These... are the high priests so loyal?
"It was I who misunderstood!"
"The hearts of the people are at stake; within the royal family, the hearts of the people are at stake!"
The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince was much more comfortable, and even the impact of General Zuo's entire clan leaving was dispelled.
The next day at the court assembly, he was radiant, and afterwards he even sought out the clan elders.
The clan elder was a Mahayana third-level cultivator.
Both being of royal lineage, in terms of seniority, the clan elder is no less senior than the old demon emperor.
However, due to the excessive use of secret techniques, he had consumed too much of his lifespan and was now very old.
It no longer has the possibility of ascension.
In his final days, the clan elder upheld the rules of the royal family, stubbornly preventing powerful nobles like Duke Su from interfering in the succession to the throne.
After learning that the Grand Elders had taken action, the clan elders' feelings towards the Crown Prince improved somewhat.
He gave an aged smile: "What business does the Crown Prince have with this old man?"
"Elder, if another incident like General Zuo were to occur in the city, would you be able to intervene and stop it?"
The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince's eyes gleamed.
Seeing the elder remain silent, he said loudly, "That Lin Ye... he is a puppet of the Lord of the Great Wilderness. We must not allow that palace to devour the strongmen of my Demon Emperor Mountain!"
The elder's cloudy eyes darted around, and he hesitated for a moment.
He was somewhat tempted and was about to agree.
At this moment, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly pierced his mind, like being pricked by needles or forged in iron. Even with the elder's profound and extensive spiritual sense, his mind still trembled!
The clan elder stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
This aura is...
How can it be! ?
He stood there stunned for a long time before finally speaking slowly, his mouth dry.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help you with this matter."
"I'm already very old..."
A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince.
why!
Seeing that the clan elder was about to agree, he knew he couldn't let those Nascent Soul stage cultivators leave.
I tried to persuade them a few more times, but to no avail.
The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince's hands trembled in disbelief.
He bowed helplessly, his face grim, and walked away in silence.
The clan elder watched the prince's retreating figure and sighed helplessly.
My heart is still trembling slightly.
The aura emanating from that powerful figure was truly terrifying...
The elder repeatedly called out in his heart, trying to get a response from that aura again.
"Your Majesty, are you there?"
"......"
There was a long silence, and no response was received.
The elder's long eyebrows trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes, lost in thought.
Your Majesty has not responded further!
But if we assume that His Majesty is still alive, then why did he fake his death?
The clan elder knew the old demon emperor very well, and being a Mahayana cultivator himself, he pondered for a while before some incredible ideas came to mind.
The elder was deeply shocked, but dared not open his eyes, for fear that if he did, he would see the old demon emperor's divine and majestic face!
His old but strong heart pounded, but his face turned as pale as paper.
'Your Majesty, you are preparing for ascension!'
'What is Lin Ye's place in His Majesty's plan? Why does His Majesty want to protect him?'
The elder's head throbbed, and he had a vague premonition.
Two wicked dragons, one old and one young, are weaving a net that will engulf the entire world...

Chapter 271 On the Eve of Nascent Soul Formation, Unique Breakthrough Conditions of Dual Cultivation
"General Zuo of the Demon Emperor Mountain has brought his entire clan to surrender!"
Lin Ye was pleasantly surprised when she saw the message.
General Zuo's family is the White Tiger King Beast Clan.
A family with an exceptionally long and prosperous history, they not only survived the destruction of Demon Emperor Mountain, but are also the first to come and seek refuge.
Moreover, the entire clan has come!
That would be a huge profit.
The White Tiger King Beast Clan is quite useful; once their bloodline power is strong enough, they can refine finished spiritual artifacts!
It is a good helper for weapon refiners.
This family, relying on its superior bloodline, is born with a continuous source of wealth and allies.
Its branches and leaves have spread and its population has increased dramatically in a short period of time; otherwise, it would have been even more prosperous.
'The surname Gongshu is one of the typical surnames of the White Tiger King's beast clan, and it is also one of the oldest.'
Lin Ye couldn't help but think of his master, Gongshu Yan.
She possesses an extremely faint bloodline of the White Tiger.
The addition of this surname suggests that Master Gongshu's ancestors and the current high-ranking members of the White Tiger King Beast Clan should have some kinship.
The relationship is very distant; it's like we were family five hundred years ago.
'But it's alright. With Master Gongshu's current concentration of White Tiger bloodline, the White Tiger King Beast Clan would welcome her warmly.'
'Later, we'll have Master Gongshu join this clan, perhaps even recognizing a godmother—Master doesn't like socializing, so just having him in name will suffice.'
'This will help win over the White Tiger King Beast clan more quickly, and also help Master Gongshu obtain some secret treasures that can only be used within the clan!'
For example, the White Tiger King Beast's clan-protecting artifact... the Eight Gates Golden Lock!
'Only their clansmen can activate it, but Master Gongshu... and I can definitely do it too.'
Lin Ye's eyes flickered.
The Eight Gates Golden Lock is a precious and rare artifact, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities, and only weapon refiners can master its use.
Although the effect was repeated, it wasn't very useful to me.
But it can be used by Master Gongshu.
If we obtain it, Master's progress will be something to look forward to!
Judging from his historical performance, this General Zuo was a wise man who appeared foolish but was extremely good at choosing sides.
Lin Ye felt quite good about getting this person to join him so quickly.
It gives the feeling of recognition from the winning camp.
"The recruitment results are excellent!"
Lin Ye beckoned Long Yin over and patted his niece's head.
