525: scheming
He was still the worst one.
All of this should have had nothing to do with him.
However, this did not mean he had to complacently accept death.
Since the Emperor wanted him dead, he would defy that and live.
He still remembered clearly how his birth mother had passed away.
He gently touched a longevity lock hanging on his chest.
His mother had placed it on him in her last moments, just before drinking the poisoned wine.
At this moment, a trace of ambition suddenly sprouted in his heart.
Why not overthrow this entire Great Qian Dynasty?
Kill his father, kill his brothers, kill his siblings, kill everything.
The moment this thought was born, the resentment engulfing his entire being was almost overwhelming.
His eyes also turned blood-red, as if only hatred remained in the world.
This couldn't be entirely blamed on him.
If he hadn't experienced all this cruelty,
perhaps he, too, would have grown up as a carefree Prince.
In other words, he had never harbored any thoughts about that position.
The reason he had come to this point was merely for self-preservation and revenge.
To clear his birth mother's name.
That was all.
But how immense was the difficulty involved?
At this moment, the Sixth Prince smiled.
Meanwhile, the battle in the sky continued.
It had to be admitted that the First Prince's methods were indeed extraordinary.
Although he couldn't compare to Wang Dong, and was even slightly weaker in cultivation,
relying on the battle armor he wore and the golden sword in his hand,
he temporarily withstood Wang Dong's attack and didn't die from a single blow.
He was embedded in the ground.
But his aura was indeed present.
Wang Dong's eyes flickered.
The young man opposite him was only in the Early Stage of the True Immortal Realm.
His cultivation was indeed impressive.
Although he was still far too inferior compared to Wang Dong,
to reach this stage at his age was already a one-in-ten-thousand genius.
This alone was not enough to catch Wang Dong's attention.
What truly caught Wang Dong's attention was the battle armor he wore.
It seemed to be an Immortal Artifact.
And that sword.
These two items, even across the entire Cangnan Dao Province, were considered top-tier Legacy items.
Wang Dong had traveled for so long and had hardly seen them a few times.
Yet now they were worn by a young man.
It seemed this person's identity was indeed very important.
Besides that, he was wealthy.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Wang Dong.
But in an instant, the thought vanished.
It wasn't that Wang Dong found the idea unfeasible.
Rather, the troubles involved were simply too many.
He didn't fully understand the current situation.
But judging solely from the stage he had encountered on site, it should also be related to a certain Prince's struggle for the throne.
Such matters were not uncommon.
He had even heard of many such instances in the Lower Realm.
And this person before him was undoubtedly at the center of the struggle for the throne.
In other words, victory was almost assured.
If he were to forcefully intervene at this moment and change the victor of the struggle for the throne,
ultimately, he would surely become an enemy of the entire Imperial Dynasty.
Wang Dong was not afraid of this.
But currently, his Family's strength was not enough.
It would be better if they could wait a little longer.
In fact, Wang Dong himself was not averse to intervening in the struggle for the throne.
He was even a little eager to try.
The current Wang Family was like a rootless apple, especially without resources to resist.
They had to go out and travel every once in a while.
Besides that, the entire enormous Family's daily needs, and the consumption of resources in many aspects, required interaction with surrounding forces.
But the resources they could obtain were relatively scarce. And the things brought up from the Lower Realm during Ascension had long since become a pile of waste.
If they could establish a relationship with the entire Dynasty,
and even hold significant weight within it,
then in the future, they could use an entire Imperial Dynasty as the Wang Family's cultivation machine, to supply resources.
This would definitely be a good thing.
Why would Wang Dong reject it?
It was just that he couldn't quite figure out the cultivation levels of those old fellows.
Although he hadn't gone to investigate the Imperial Dynasty's mausoleum,
he could feel the powerful presences buried within from a great distance.
They seemed to be above the True Immortal Realm.
Recalling that heart-palpitating Qi, Wang Dong's eyes blinked.
But he didn't say much.
In fact, the current situation was also a very good opportunity for him.
The conflict between the two sides had already arisen.
It was unlikely that they could reconcile even if he went back.
As Wang Dong was thinking,
the First Prince on the ground began to squirm.
A moment later, he stood up from the ground.
Then he roared to the sky.
"Good, good, good, you did very well, but you have angered a lion."
"I will cleanse the shame of the Imperial Family with your blood. Brother, do you see? What kind of people are you associating with?"
"They trample on the dignity of the Imperial Family, stepping on us Princes. If you associate with them, even if you can defeat me and ascend to the supreme position in the future, you will only be their Puppet."
"You are aiding evil. I am now giving you a chance to atone for your mistakes. Join me in slaying this person before us."
Wang Dong narrowed his eyes, then chuckled softly.
Immediately after, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
This kid's schemes were a bit deep.
In just a short time, he had already deduced his relationship with the Wang Family?
He had also just received some fragmented information in that short time.
His two descendants seemed to have some connection with this green and purple.
And their relationship was not shallow.
At this moment, the First Prince invited the Sixth Prince to attack him together.
This was clearly an attempt to sow discord.
Especially by using the dignity of the Imperial Dynasty as the Foundation.
That almost put both sides in opposition.
If the Sixth Prince didn't join him, he would clearly lose his Foundation as a Prince within the Imperial Dynasty.
Of course, this premise was that these people before him could leave alive.
If they couldn't leave alive, these messages wouldn't be spread.
Then the Sixth Prince could still develop in secret as before.
Clearly, the First Prince before him was very confident that he could leave alive.
Even though he was beaten like a stray dog on the street the moment they first clashed,
he still had the confidence to leave alive.
What was his trump card?
The Immortal Artifact on him?
Or a life-saving method left by an elder?
Wang Dong smiled, actually not caring at all.
Let alone just some life-saving methods.
Even if that old fellow came, he wouldn't put him in his eyes.
What Wang Dong truly feared were only those presences in the mausoleum.
He had to wait until his cultivation had a Breakthrough before everything would be easier to handle.
Just at this moment.
The Sixth Prince spoke up.
His expression was ferocious, his voice intense.
"Enough! I have never acknowledged you as an older brother. From today onwards, there is only enmity between us, no kinship."
As soon as his voice fell.
