Éditeur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Taiyi Main Hall, the 3rd Imperial Prince and the other two Imperial Princes who had arrived later laughed lightly with a hint of mockery when they saw the 8th Imperial Prince, "I didn't expect 8th brother to come so quickly. This is really beyond our expectations."
The 8th Imperial Prince did not get angry. He simply smiled faintly and said, "It's always my motto to be one step ahead of others. I've brought the 9th Prince here to visit the Taiyi Holy Land. I wonder why my brothers have brought my nephew Princes and niece Princesses here?"
Even though he knew that they were also here for the Elder King, the 8th Imperial Prince was a smart person and would not say it out loud.
Everyone knew their intentions, but none said it out lord.
A disciple came forward to serve tea to the members of the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Lu Xuan, the Taiyi Holy Lord, sat on the main seat and looked down at the 3rd, 8th, 11th, and 19th Imperial Princes, who represented the factions of the Great Qin Dynasty. He frowned slightly and felt a little helpless.
If this matter was not handled well, the Taiyi Holy Land would likely be caught up in the disputes within the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial family, which would not be good.
It seemed that he had to find a way to reject them.
"As expected of the spirit-cleansing tea. One sip can jolt one's primordial spirit and make one's thoughts clear. Thank you for the hospitality, brother Lu," The 3rd Imperial Prince sighed in admiration after taking a sip of tea.
The 11th and 19th Imperial Princes followed suit to praise the tea.
"Fellow friends, you're too polite," The Taiyi Holy Lord said.
After saying that, he chatted with the Imperial Princes. During this time, he smiled frequently as they talked and laughed. However, every time the Imperial Princes wanted to ask about the Elder King, he would lightly avoid the topic.
After chatting for a while more, the Imperial Princes went straight to the point.
The 3rd Imperial Prince Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "Brother Lu, I've always heard that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land is an unparalleled Venerable. When the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng was born, he killed and injured many Kings of the Holy Lands and families in the Southern Desolate Lands. Some Holy Lords and Family Lords almost died. It was the Elder King who had saved them at the critical moment which allowed them to avoid their misfortune. I've long heard of the Elder King's reputation, and I'm here to visit him. I wonder if brother Lu would help us relay our wishes?"
The other Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses also looked at The Taiyi Holy Lord and expressed the same request.
Now that things had come to this, the other party had already made it so clear that it was impossible to refuse straight away.
The Taiyi Holy Lord sighed, "I'm not afraid to tell you that Elder King has always been elusive. Even the elders and I have only seen him a few times, so I'm not sure if he's willing to come out."
Hearing this, everyone from the Great Qin Dynasty was surprised. However, they remembered that they had never heard of a Qiyao Realm King in the Taiyi Holy Land, let alone a Bahuang Realm Venerable who had passed the path-seeking tribulation.
If they had a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm long ago, the Taiyi Holy Land would not have declined so much. It was to the point that when the great Emperor's palace had appeared, the other Holy Lands, families, and ancient dynasties had dared to ignore the Holy Lord and enter the Holy Land directly.
In the end, it was only when the Kings had almost all died and the Taiyi Holy Land was facing the crisis of destruction that the Elder King appeared out of nowhere and turned the tides.
It could be seen that the Elder King was truly someone with a low profile, so much so that even the Taiyi Holy Land wasn't sure about the other party.
The 8th Imperial Prince showed a look of respect and said, "I've always heard that the Holy Land's Elder King is a hidden figure and has never made a name for himself. Only when the great Emperor's palace appeared did the world know of his existence. After all, he's an unparalleled Venerable who focuses on cultivation and doesn't care about worldly matters. It's understandable that he doesn't want to see outsiders. "
In reality, if the Elder King was not willing to come out, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't offend a peerless Venerable anyway.
The Taiyi Holy Lord took out the communication jade token left by Elder King and started to try to get in touch with the latter.
This was the first time he had used the communication jade token to try to contact the Elder King, so he was quite nervous.
He didn't know that the real Elder King was just outside the Taiyi Main Hall.
Qin Chen received the message from the Taiyi Holy Lord and sent a reply with his consciousness.
Soon, the Taiyi Holy Lord received the Elder King's reply and was slightly shocked. He had thought that the Elder King would not reply. If that had been the case, he could've just rejected the requests of the Great Qin Dynasty, thus avoiding from being involved in the internal conflict of the royal family.
He had never expected that not only would the Elder King reply immediately, but he would also agree.
What did the Elder King mean by this?
Was he really going to get involved in the internal strife of the Great Qin Dynasty?
The Taiyi Holy Lord did not understand what was going on, but he still looked at the royalty from the Great Qin Dynasty and said, "Everyone, the Elder King has agreed to see you and will be here soon."
Upon hearing this, the Great Qin Dynasty royalty, who did not have much hope initially, were overjoyed. At the same time, they were filled with anticipation.
Outside the Taiyi Main Hall, rays of light shot up into the sky from Qin Chen's body.
Soon, a blurry figure surrounded by clear light and path laws stepped through the air and landed in the Taiyi Main Hall. His body was overflowing with the boundless energy of the great path, attracting the attention of all.
The Taiyi Holy Lord immediately led Ling Ran and the other Supreme Elders to stand up. He said respectfully, "Greetings, Elder King!"
The people from the Great Qin Dynasty did not dare to delay either. They stood up immediately and bowed towards the Elder King, "Greetings, Elder King!"
At the same time, their gazes landed straight on the Elder King, wishing to see through the layer of mist and see the true identity of this mysterious Elder King.
However, the Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses, who were all Kings of the Qiyao Realm, could not see through the Elder King's true identity. They could not help but sigh. As expected of a peerless Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. Just this technique alone left them in the dust.
The Elder King nodded and strode over to another main seat that had been prepared in the Taiyi Main Hall and sat down.
"Why isn't the Elder King showing your true identity?" The 7th Prince asked with a frown.
To be honest, the others, including those from the Taiyi Holy Land, were also curious about Elder King's identity, but the 7th Prince's rudeness had offended Elder King, which made the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others' expressions darken.
"Zhen'er, how can you speak such nonsense? the Elder King is a Venerable, how can we see his true identity?" Before the people from the Taiyi Holy Land could say anything, the 11th Imperial Prince from the 7th Prince's faction frowned and stopped him from saying anything more.
He cupped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, my nephew is still young. I hope the Elder King won't hold him responsible. "
Qin Chen didn't pursue the matter and just said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I'm used to roaming the world and I don't like to appear in front of others, so please forgive me."
Hearing this, the 11th Imperial Prince heaved a sigh of relief.
The 3rd, 8th, and 19th Imperial Princes were a little regretful. If the Elder King showed his disgust at this time, then the 7th Prince would not have much of a chance in the competition for the Crown Prince position, which was equivalent to having one less competitor.
The 3rd Imperial Prince cupped his fists, "I've long heard of the Taiyi Holy Land's Elder King's reputation. In the battle back then, you've killed the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng and the body of the ancient race's Sage-level Demon King that contained the demonic thought. I regret not being able to see the battle with my own eyes. Now that I'm able to meet you, Elder King, I've finally gotten rid of my regrets."
"Bah, how shameless!" The other Imperial Princes couldn't help but curse the 3rd Imperial Prince in their hearts when they saw him, a dignified King of the imperial family, fawning over the Elder King in such a way.
Qin Chen looked at the 3rd Imperial Prince, "3rd Imperial Prince, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary old man from the Taiyi Holy Land. I'm no powerful figure."
"Elder King is too humble," The 3rd Imperial Prince immediately stepped forward and pointed at the majestic 2nd Prince beside him.
He said sincerely, "Elder King, I've come this time with a request. The 2nd Prince Qin Ming has been worshipping senior for a long time and hopes to become Elder King's disciple. In the future, if the 2nd Prince becomes the Emperor, you will be the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Dynasty!"
