Chapter 291: Explore the Truth

"What?"

In the private room, the faces of several princes froze slightly, and they all looked at the Seventh Princess, all somewhat startled!

The Seventh Princess smiled faintly: "The eldest young lady of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion has some friendship with me. Today they told me that there was an accident in the Sword Tomb trial. I suppose if I don't say it now, you will receive the news tomorrow anyway!"

"An accident in the Sword Tomb trial? How did this happen?" the princes asked in surprise.

Although the Sword Tomb trial was only a small trial, many sects and families attached great importance to it, and there would be Infant Transformation Stage experts present. How could an accident occur?

The Seventh Princess said: "It is said that a teenager calling himself Tengyuan Takumi of the Exploding Heaven Gang, whose real name is Xu Que, disrupted the entire trial alone. In the Sword Tomb, he killed Ye Zhangfeng, the son of the Sword God of the Langjian Sect, along with several guardians, all died at his hands!"

"What? How is this possible?"

Several princes stood up from their chairs with a thud, their eyes wide, unable to believe it.

Ye Zhangfeng, the son of the Sword God of the Langjian Sect.

This name was not unfamiliar to them; one of the princes even had a good relationship with Ye Zhangfeng and knew how powerful his strength was!

And Ye Zhangfeng's status in the Langjian Sect was extremely high; how could he have been killed?

"That's not all!"

The Seventh Princess paused and continued: "After this person left the Sword Tomb, he drove a divine steed that had never been seen before, transformed into a steel giant, and killed many people from sects and families. Finally, even the Sixth Elder of the Langjian Sect died under his hands, heavily injured by a single move!"

"Hiss!"

Several princes gasped, shocked and unable to speak!

The elder of the Langjian Sect—that was an existence at the Fourth Layer of the Infant Transformation Stage, and his sword techniques were excellent, his offensive means sharp. How could such a powerful expert die at the hands of an unknown nobody?

"Imperial sister, is that Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang perhaps at the Infant Transformation Stage? No, didn't you just say he was a teenager?" The Third Prince frowned, puzzled.

The Seventh Princess shook her head: "That Xu Que is at the Ninth Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage! But he used the steel giant transformed by the divine steed to increase his strength dramatically. After heavily injuring the Sixth Elder of the Langjian Sect with one move, a dog beside him rushed up and kicked the Sixth Elder to death!"

"Ah?"

The princes were instantly dumbfounded.

A dog?

Kicked the elder of the Langjian Sect to death?

This… how is this possible?

"This matter is absolutely true, so that teenager's background is extraordinary, especially that divine steed of his; even the Spirit Treasure Pavilion feels it is very unusual!" The Seventh Princess said, her face somewhat solemn.

The Third Prince frowned again and said in a deep voice: "This matter cannot let the Second Imperial Brother and the Eighth Imperial Brother know… No, they will know soon. Now… we need to strike first!"

"That's right. If the person roasting chicken wings is Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang, we must be the first to win him over!" The Seventh Princess nodded.

But as soon as she said this, the expressions of the several princes became somewhat strange!

"Seventh Imperial Sister, you mean… win over that Xu Que?" The Third Prince asked, puzzled.

The other princes were also full of confusion, asking: "Why win him over? This is not feasible!"

"That's right, Seventh Imperial Sister. As you said, he killed the son of the Sword God of the Langjian Sect and an elder. If we win him over, wouldn't that be directly becoming enemies with the Langjian Sect?"

"Not only that, you just said he also killed many people present at the time. If we win him over now, it is equivalent to being against all the major sects and families. This is extremely unfavorable for the Third Imperial Brother to compete for the position of Crown Prince."

"Imperial brothers are right!"

The Seventh Princess smiled faintly and said softly: "Although he has offended so many people and seems to be an enemy of the world, with nowhere to go! But have you thought about why he still dares to come to the Imperial City at this juncture? And is so ostentatious, clearly not afraid of being hunted down!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several princes were stunned!

The Seventh Princess continued: "Generally, in this situation, there are only two possibilities! Either that person is a lunatic, or… because he has sufficient certainty and confidence, and has a great background behind him!"

Hearing this, several princes fell silent, lost in thought.

"Seventh Imperial Sister, continue!" The Third Prince looked at the princess and said seriously.

"Third Imperial Brother, I actually think you can take the opportunity to win this person over! After all, in the current situation, rather than competing for the support of the Langjian Sect and major sects with other imperial brothers without any chance of winning, it is better to… give it a try!"

After the Seventh Princess finished speaking, the faces of the several princes on the scene froze!

Although they knew this imperial sister very well—she was extremely intelligent and very bold.

But they didn't expect her to be bold to this extent, actually wanting to bet all their stakes on a teenager of unknown origin who had countless enemies just because of a rumor!

Give it a try?

In the Third Prince's view, he felt that he didn't seem to be desperate to this extent yet.

"Seventh Imperial Sister, this idea of yours is a bit extreme!"

The Third Prince shook his head and said solemnly: "If we bet wrong, we will be completely defeated! And… I really can't think of any power other than the Fragrant Sky Valley and the Wendao Sect that is stronger than the Langjian Sect!"

"Third Imperial Brother, I have learned a truth while traveling outside these years: there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people! Perhaps the Langjian Sect is strong in our Five Kingdoms, but overseas, it is ultimately just a small sect!"

"You mean… that Xu Que might be from overseas?"

"I'm not sure."

The Seventh Princess shook her head faintly, her gaze flickering slightly, looking through the window toward the distance of the street!

The other princes also fell silent, only the eunuch, kneeling on the ground, was covered in cold sweat!

From the moment the Seventh Princess mentioned the deeds of Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang, he was almost scared crazy!

That guy was actually so strong; hadn't he almost died just now?

Thinking of Xu Que's words, "if it weren't for the child being here," the eunuch couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, and even felt full of gratitude toward the child who was present!

He, a dignified eunuch in the palace, had actually been saved by the face of a child; this seemed ridiculous no matter how he looked at it, but thinking about it now, he felt incredibly fearful.

"Let's do this: we will go down together and see for ourselves what kind of background this Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang has! Rather than guessing wildly here, it is better to… go personally and explore the truth!"

At this moment, the Third Prince suddenly stood up and said.

"Ah?"

When the eunuch heard this, his body suddenly shivered, his face lost all color, and he directly peed his pants!

This… what should he do now?

The status of the several princes was so noble; how could they go to such a marketplace?

And, if that teenager was the Xu Que of the Exploding Heaven Gang that the Seventh Princess mentioned, such a ruthless person, and he had just cursed him like that—if he went back now, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?

This… this was simply too dangerous!

"Little Li, what are you shouting for? Hurry up and get up to lead the way, and come with this prince for a trip!" ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
