Capítulo 29: A Sincere Request to Visit the Elder King
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Qin Chen looked like he was in his forties or fifties, they still recognized him.
"Qin Chen?"
Some of the royal family members were shocked, then frowned. They looked at Qin Chen with disgust and disdain. They did not see him as the 17th Prince. On the contrary, they saw him as just an abandoned son of the royal family.
"17th brother!" The 9th Prince was surprised, but he was soon overjoyed.
This time, he had also planned to meet Qin Chen.
"The 17th Prince who was expelled from the royal family?" The 8th Imperial Prince glanced at Qin Chen.
The 17th Prince who was from a younger generation now looked even older than him, an uncle who had lived for thousands of years. He could not help but frown. He immediately looked away and did not look at Qin Chen again, leading the royal family's descendants and walking straight ahead.
Royalties were heartless, much less those of an immortal divine dynasty.
Back then, the family of Qin Chen's mother had been framed by the current Empress. His mother was banished to the cold palace, and Qin Chen, who was judged to be trash with a mortal body, was expelled from the royal family. His status as a Prince was removed, and he was exiled to the Southern Desolate Lands.
Looking at the situation now, he was just a handyman of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Why would the Great Qin Dynasty acknowledge the current 17th Prince? He was simply beneath their status.
The 9th Prince wanted to go forward and talk to Qin Feng, but he was stopped by the 8th Imperial Prince, "Feng'er, as the Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are also a candidate for the Crown Prince. In the future, you may even inherit the imperial power and become the Emperor of the immortal divine dynasty. You must know your place and not get too close to some lowly people. Otherwise, it will only harm you in the future."
The "lowly person" was naturally Qin Chen.
As one of the immortal divine dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty ruled over the Central Province.
The Imperial Lord was extremely powerful and controlled an ancient divine dynasty. As such, this position was naturally coveted by countless people, including many Princes and even Princesses.
The 9th Prince was a strong contender for the position of the Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his mother was a powerful figure. Naturally, there were many powerful figures behind the 9th Prince, hoping that he would become the future Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty.
If the 9th Prince got too close to the useless 17th Prince, Qin Chen, who had been expelled by the royal family, he would definitely be attacked by the forces behind the other competitors for the Crown Prince's position. His situation would not be good.
The 9th Prince opened his mouth but didn't take the step in the end. As he left in a hurry, he looked at Qin Chen apologetically and guiltily.
Even though he really wanted to meet his 17th brother, Qin Chen, and have a chat, being in the royal family, he was destined to be unable to act on his own will. There were too many things that he could not do as he liked since so many factors were involved.
Qin Chen understood the 9th Prince's expression and smiled warmly at him.
He understood the 9th Prince's difficulties. At least, the 9th Prince still cared about him and didn't look down on him just because he was kicked out of the royal family.
Qin Chen was already very happy with this thought.
This scene was also seen by many elders and disciples nearby. They felt pity for Qin Chen, the abandoned Prince. After all, they had just witnessed how those from the Great Qin Dynasty didn't even want to acknowledge him.
Ling Ran was the last person to step into Taiyi Main Hall. When she passed by Qin Chen, she paused for a moment and said, "If you soar one day, they will welcome you warmly."
Qin Chen was slightly taken aback.
Ling Ran cared for him as well.
He lowered his head and smiled. This was indeed true. If he had soared into the sky, the Great Qin Dynasty would not have been so indifferent. If they knew that he was the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, they would even welcome him back to the Great Qin Dynasty with the greatest grandiose.
After all, in the eyes of the world, he was a great Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. Who dared to look down on him?
Even the immortal divine dynasty wouldn't dare!
Inside the Taiyi Main Hall, the Taiyi Holy Lord, the 8th Imperial Prince, and the others conversed. Laughter could be heard from time to time, and it was clear that they were having a very friendly conversation.
After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the 8th Imperial Prince went straight to the point and said, "Brother Lu, I have a presumptuous request."
"Oh?" The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at the 8th Imperial Prince and the others from the Great Qin Dynasty.
As the Holy Lord of a Holy Land, how could he not know what they were up to? However, he still pretended not to know and smiled, "I wonder what presumptuous request that is?"
"I've heard that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land killed the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng and that his cultivation is unparalleled," The 8th Imperial Prince said seriously, "I'm here to pay a visit to the Elder King. I wonder if brother Lu is willing to invite the Elder King on my behalf for a chat."
The rest of the Great Qin Dynasty's people also looked at The Taiyi Holy Lord with burning eyes.
In reality, the main purpose of the Great Qin Dynasty's visit to the Taiyi Holy Land was to visit the mysterious Elder King.
They hoped to win over the Elder King.
The Great Qin Dynasty had always been at its peak and ruled the Central Province together with the other three immortal divine dynasties.
However, after ancient times, the world had changed greatly. The great path had disappeared, and the Sages had disappeared as well.
In this world, it was rare to even see a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, which was why Qiyao Realm Kings could become the rulers of top factions.
It was the same for the Great Qin Dynasty.
Right now, many in the Great Qin Dynasty believed that the 9th Prince was a strong contender for the position of Crown Prince. He had a high chance of becoming the next Imperial Lord and ruling the Great Qin Dynasty.
Of course, many experts in the imperial family supported the 9th Prince.
But at the same time, the 9th Prince wasn't the only one who was qualified to fight for the position of Crown Prince. There were other Princes and even two Princesses.
The factions behind these competitors for the Crown Prince's position were all extremely powerful. They were not much weaker than the 9th Prince's faction, and they might even be stronger.
Therefore, if the 9th Prince wanted to become the Crown Prince, he needed the support of even more powerful people.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, almost all the influential figures had taken their stances. The rest of the influential figures who hadn't, remained neutral in various aspects. The fact that the many competitors for the position of Crown Prince had not been able to pull them over spoke volumes.
The experts within were either roped in or maintained a neutral stance.
Now, to increase their competitiveness, they could only rely on external forces.
At this time, even if they roped in a few Kings, it wouldn't be very effective.
Thinking of this point, the people from the 9th Prince's faction wanted to help the 9th Prince rope in a Venerable.
If he could get the support of a Venerable, the 9th Prince's competitiveness would increase, and the other Princes and Princesses would be under a lot of pressure.
It was not a lie to say that a Venerable was invincible. The reason why the Nangong family could look down on the entire Southern Desolate Lands and not be afraid of the other Holy Lands and families was not only because they had the inheritance of an ancient Emperor and an extreme emperor weapon, but even more so because they had an invincible great Venerable.
Naturally, the Central Province also had great Venerables, such as the famous great Venerable Xue Ye.
Even though great Venerable Xue Ye was extremely powerful, his temper was unpredictable.
Even if they succeeded in roping in such a great Venerabler, they would inevitably have to pay a terrifying price.
Therefore, the Taiyi Holy Land's Venerable was the best choice.
