514: hesitate

Of course, this confidence was merely a sliver.

In other aspects, the Family’s foundation was vastly different.

Especially his own personal foundation.

Because he was the Sixth Prince, very few people followed him.

Moreover, the First Prince viewed him as a thorn in his side.

Unless one’s mind was completely broken, no one would choose him.

Let alone follow him.

The guards he had, who were in the Early Stage of the True Immortal Realm, were people his mother had rallied when she was alive.

For him, his personal team was almost entirely made up of incompetent individuals.

That he had managed to persevere until now was largely due to his own wisdom and strategic planning.

Of course, all of this was predicated on the opponent not making a killing move, and his mother’s protection in the past.

But now his mother was gone.

Many things needed the Sixth Prince to do himself.

The Sixth Prince did possess some ability, but with his wings not yet fully grown, he still needed to rely on others.

The Dragon was in dormant, its time not yet arrived.

Since the opponent had already initiated an attack, he was forced to respond; the Sixth Prince had no other choice.

Of course, fortunately, the situation was still on his side.

Although Wang Changfeng had not used his full strength, he had gained a great advantage in a short period.

As soon as he dealt with Bai Ningbing, he would be able to free up his hands to assist the others.

With a rumble, Wang Changfeng sent Bai Ningbing flying, crashing into the stone chamber wall.

Bai Ningbing coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.

He stood up, looking somewhat disheveled.

A hint of apprehension had appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wang Changfeng.

He had expected the opponent to be strong.

But he hadn't expected him to be this strong.

One must know, the matter of Wang Dong slaying Daoist Changfeng had already spread.

Those who Ascended from the Lower Realm naturally couldn't be ordinary.

This person before him was also one of that person’s Family’s descendants.

Now that he was in the True Immortal Realm, his strength must be terrifying.

However, even with his careful approach,

and even going all out from the start,

he was still being beaten without any ability to retaliate.

He could feel that the opponent had likely held back.

Otherwise, he might not even be alive right now.

Thinking of this, Bai Ningbing’s face turned extremely grim.

He couldn't help but speak again.

“Fellow Daoist, I know your strength is profound, but if you offend the First Prince, I’m afraid your future days won’t be easy.”

“His Highness the First Prince is destined to inherit the great throne in the future. The Wang Family Ascended from the Lower Realm, so many resources must be without proper channels, I presume. If you continue to oppose our Imperial Dynasty, your future situation will only become more difficult.”

“Conversely, as long as Fellow Daoist decides today to stand by and not spread this matter indiscriminately, I can make a decision on behalf of His Highness, and from now on, the Wang Family and us will be on good terms.”

“All resources and many channels, we can provide them. This is a great boon for the Wang Family, especially for the development of the entire Family. I don’t think anyone would refuse.”

“Fellow Daoist, everything I’ve said is something that useless prince next to you cannot provide. Are you sure you won’t consider it?”

After these words were spoken, the Sixth Prince’s expression also became tense.

He wasn't sure about other things.

But this individual before him truly valued the development of their Wang Family.

Especially when it came to the Clan Chief; every time he mentioned him, the reverence in his eyes was impossible to hide.

It was evident how much he admired their Clan Chief.

In such a situation, Wang Changfeng might really defect.

Although he firmly believed that Wang Changfeng’s character was beyond reproach.

And he shouldn’t do the kind of thing he imagined.

But the conditions the opponent offered this time were too special.

They concerned the development of the Wang Family.

For someone who placed the development of the entire Family and the Wang Family Patriarch so highly in his heart, this matter was undoubtedly a fatal blow.

If this situation were placed upon him, he would have essentially already defected.

The matter was almost certainly decided.

He, at least, couldn't refuse.

For a moment, he looked at Wang Changfeng nervously.

He didn’t know what decision the other party would make.

If he truly defected, then all their plans and everything they had done would turn into nothing at this moment.

There would be no room for resistance.

The opponent’s strength was already greater than theirs.

If even Wang Changfeng, whom he considered his trump card, went with the opponent,

then this time, it would surely be an eternal damnation.

At this moment, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but feel some regret.

Entrusting his fate to others was simply the most foolish thing to do.

But sometimes, one couldn't help oneself.

He also wanted to hold everything in his own hands.

However, his resources and foundation were too poor.

He didn’t even have the means.

To achieve all this now, he had already given his all.

Even if it weren't for a chance encounter and some interaction with Wang Changfeng,

his situation would be even more difficult than it was now.

Wang Changfeng chuckled softly.

He had to admit that the conditions proposed by the opponent were very tempting.

It was also definitely a good thing for the development of the entire Family.

He even had a moment of temptation when he first heard it.

He even wanted to agree directly.

However, while this was indeed a good thing for the development of the entire Family,

what did it have to do with him?

The only person he respected was the Clan Chief.

For the entire Family, everything was based on his feelings for the Clan Chief.

Now, these so-called conditions were nothing but fleeting clouds in his eyes.

Because if Fang Dong were in the situation he was currently facing, he would definitely not agree.

There was only one word.

Kill!

The Clan Chief was a man of integrity and would never tolerate such fickle behavior.

Of course, as for the so-called conditions for the development of the entire Wang Family,

this was not the only path to take.

The surrounding forces were not limited to just this one Dynasty.

Besides, the throne didn't necessarily have to be held by the First Prince.

Couldn’t the Sixth Prince do it?

He had to admit that the Sixth Prince’s current strength was indeed too lacking.

He also had no intention of dragging the entire Wang Family into helping the Sixth Prince.

However, he himself wasn’t incapable.

What’s more, he could see that the Sixth Prince was definitely no ordinary person.

Even if he couldn't achieve an imperial position, providing small-scale resources and convenience to the Wang Family was something he could still do.

Wang Changfeng was very certain of this in his heart.

Since the most fundamental conditions, and the choices Wang Dong would make when facing such a situation, had already set the basic tone,

everything else was irrelevant.

He saw his figure flash,

transforming into a Kunpeng, moving back and forth within the confined space.

The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Bai Ningbing.

Immediately after, he unleashed a punch.
