299: Is the Martial Saint Emperor crazy?

Just as everyone was focusing their attention on Lin Ye and Lin Yu, suddenly, over a dozen outsiders appeared on the viewing platform. They walked slowly to the location where the Ninth Prince was seated and took their seats.

"Huh?!"

Everyone looked over, and upon seeing them, they were stunned on the spot.

Looking at their attire, everyone knew who they were. After all, even though the Wu Dynasty was a power in the Lower Domain, images of the Chang Sheng Lin Family had appeared clearly in the sky previously.

Therefore, everyone in the Wu Dynasty recognized those people beside the Ninth Prince at a glance.

You must know, the recent affairs of the Chang Sheng Lin Family had been spreading like wildfire throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, especially the matters concerning the three brothers: Lin Ye, Lin Yu, and Lin Ming.

Countless people were gossiping behind their backs, calling the Lin Family idiots.

After all, one had Emperor Eyes, another had the Human Emperor Body; they used two top-tier Prodigies just to exchange for one Lin Ming?!

It had already been proven on the Lingxu Battlefield that even if Lin Ye and Lin Yu had lost their original Physiques, they could still suppress Lin Ming.

Especially Lin Ye; not to mention his endless array of methods, he had even obtained the Legacy of ancient Great Power Experts like the Killing Life Tathagata and the Human Emperor.

One could see how profound his Luck was. Furthermore, that Innate Dao Bone had appeared on him, and he even possessed another mysterious Physique.

Counting the Emperor Eyes, Lin Ye could be said to possess three top-tier Physiques in one body.

How could the Lin Family think like this? Not only did they fail to cultivate him properly, but he had now become a mortal enemy.

Lin Yu was the same; his Human Emperor Body had vanished, yet he gained a Star God Body. Even the successor of the Dao Palace was no match for him.

Two such terrifying Prodigies were forcefully pushed to the opposite side by the Lin Family, and it was a life-and-death feud at that.

"Why did the Ninth Prince invite people from the Lin Family? Doesn't he know that the Lin Family has a life-and-death feud with Lin Ye?"

"Exactly. And Lin Ye has already become engaged to our Princess. Inviting the Lin Family at this time, isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"Need you ask? It must be for the position of the Crown Prince. The Princess let Lin Ye fight on her behalf, and the Second Prince must have let Lin Yu fight on his behalf. If he doesn't invite people from the Lin Family, how could the Ninth Prince have any chance of winning?"

"But even if he invited people from the Lin Family, he should have brought Lin Ming. Bringing a little girl here, isn't that purely courting death?"

"Could it be that these people from the Lin Family... Hiss!!!"

Some people had already guessed the truth: the Ninth Prince must be collaborating with the Chang Sheng Lin Family to deal with Lin Ye and Lin Yu.

But on this arena, how were they going to make a move?

Could it be that the Martial Saint Emperor had also tacitly approved of this matter?

Otherwise, let alone the arena, within the Wu Dynasty, the people from the Lin Family would absolutely not be able to lay a hand on Lin Ye and Lin Yu.

Once they made a move, the Martial Saint Emperor would definitely intervene.

Your Chang Sheng Lin Family is an Immortal Clan, but the Righteous Qi Sect and the Profound Moon Holy Land are not to be trifled with either. If those two powers found out their Saints died in the Wu Dynasty, they would surely fight to the death.

Moreover, Wu Mingyue had already become engaged to Lin Ye, making him half a member of the Wu Dynasty.

The Ninth Prince's face was full of joy, completely disregarding the gazes of others.

After all, his father had already told him that he would be a Puppet Saint Emperor and that the position would definitely be his. So, what was wrong with bringing the Chang Sheng Lin Family here? His father must have agreed to it.

Just as the Ninth Prince was feeling smug, the Saint Emperor on the Dragon Throne spoke.

"Friends from the Upper Domain, I wonder if you had my permission to come to my Wu Dynasty?"

Hearing the Martial Saint Emperor's inquiry, the smile on the Ninth Prince's face froze.

That's not right! Why was his father not playing by the rules? Why was he targeting the people from the Lin Family?

The civil and military officials were also bewildered.

The Martial Saint Emperor wanted to hand over the position of Crown Prince to the Ninth Prince; this was news everyone knew. So, the Ninth Prince had invited people from the Lin Family, and the Martial Saint Emperor should have tacitly approved or pretended not to see it.

Why was he making things difficult right from the start?

Lin Huaizhong of the Chang Sheng Lin Family was stunned. Obviously, he had not expected that the Martial Saint Emperor's first sentence would be an interrogation.

But since he had asked, he couldn't pretend not to hear. Thinking of this, Lin Huaizhong stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Greetings, Martial Saint Emperor. We are here at the invitation of the Ninth Prince to ensure his safety during these turbulent times."

"Furthermore, he has already become betrothed to our Lin Family's Little Princess, Lin Yueer."

Hearing Lin Huaizhong's words, everyone, including the Martial Saint Emperor, was dumbfounded.

The Ninth Prince was betrothed to Lin Yueer?

Why didn't they know about this news?!

The Martial Saint Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the Ninth Prince.

The latter only felt a surge of True Dragon Qi suppressing him. That Aura made his legs go soft, and he nearly knelt directly on the ground.

Fortunately, the Martial Saint Emperor did not intend to make him embarrass himself, otherwise he would have really knelt down.

Seeing his son with weak legs, a hint of disdain appeared in the Martial Saint Emperor's eyes.

In his view, cultivation and strength were the most important things; as for the so-called Bloodline, it had no significance at all.

When he was young, he shook the world, but this Ninth Prince was the least like him among all his children—cowardly and mediocre.

Yet, it was precisely because of this personality that he was chosen to be a Puppet.

But since he had already reached a deal with Lin Ye, this so-called Puppet naturally had no meaning anymore.

"Betrothed?"

The Martial Saint Emperor smiled: "People from the Lin Family betrothed to my Wu Dynasty, why have I never heard of this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaizhong replied: "It is because our Young Miss and the Ninth Prince are in love and have pledged their lives to each other, so we haven't had time to inform you, Saint Emperor."

"Hehe..." The Martial Saint Emperor sneered. The Imperial Aura on his body suddenly burst forth, and the sound of Dragons roaring resonated throughout the world.

"Do you know that Lin Ye is the son-in-law of my Imperial Dynasty? What exactly did your Lin Family come here for!!!"

Boom!!!

The Martial Saint Emperor's Aura became increasingly terrifying. The entire firmament was covered in dark clouds, as if a world-destroying thunderbolt would fall in the next moment.

That terrifying Aura and the words he spoke left all the princes and princesses stunned.

They even began to doubt their own ears.

Didn't the Martial Saint Emperor hate the idea of Wu Mingyue taking the throne the most? He had agreed to her engagement with Lin Ye previously only because of the exchange of benefits.

Why was he standing on Lin Ye's side now?

He was even targeting the Chang Sheng Lin Family for Lin Ye's sake.

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

The Martial Saint Emperor's Aura caused cracks to appear on the ground beneath Lin Huaizhong's feet. He was enduring immense pressure.

Known for his martial prowess, when the Martial Saint Emperor's Aura erupted with full force, not everyone could withstand it.

The other Lin Family members hurriedly protected Lin Yueer behind them.

The Ninth Prince was in disbelief, not understanding what his father meant.
