"To be safe, let's find General Wanyan Kang to deal with the Eldest Prince and Yang Xiao together."

The Second Prince said excitedly.

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said:

"No need to go. I just visited the General Mansion. The guard at the gate said the General is in seclusion for cultivation and hasn't seen anyone for the past ten days or so."

"Ah, what a coincidence?"

Qin Chuan sneered,

"Coincidence or not, that old fox is clearly avoiding us."

"Avoiding us? Why?"

The Second Prince was taken aback.

The Second Prince had a straightforward personality, being a straightforward person with simple views on many matters and a simple, rough approach. Qin Chuan said:

"A few nights ago, Wanyan Kang committed murder to silence someone and severely injured Liang Bao, probably exposing his identity and being privately warned by the Emperor, which is why he's in seclusion avoiding us."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Qin Chuan with horror.

"Boss Qin, is Father beginning to suspect us?"

"Heh, do you think the Emperor only just started suspecting you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"How many spies does the Flying Leopard Emperor have in Wentian City? How many things happening in the entire Empire can be hidden from him? After all these years, how could everything you've done to hunt down the Eldest Prince completely escape the Emperor's eyes?"

The Second Prince was shocked, staring blankly at Qin Chuan, involuntarily letting out an "Ah".

"Then, then, aren't we in great danger now?"

Qin Chuan chuckled and said:

"Your Highness, it seems you don't really understand your father."

"How do you mean?"

Qin Chuan glanced at the Second Prince, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.

"Your father became the Emperor in those years relying on his own abilities and ruthlessness. He killed his own brother and smoothly ascended the throne.

Witch Star is a place that abides by the law of the jungle. To survive and achieve a great undertaking requires not only skill but also a ruthless heart.

Of course, ruthlessness alone won't suffice; one must also have skill.

Unfortunately, you possess only the trait of ruthlessness, lacking in Genetic Evolution Talent, which is one reason why the Emperor has been hesitant to pass the throne to you."

"Ah?"

It was the first time the Second Prince had heard such a strange statement, leaving him stupefied.

"The Eldest Prince, on the other hand, has a low Genetic Evolution Talent and lacks ruthlessness, even less in the Emperor's consideration.

However, after the Eldest Prince returned to Wentian City from Flying Leopard Academy, he astonishingly displayed another talent, earning the Emperor's admiration and praise."

The Second Prince sneered:

"What kind of talent does the Eldest Prince have?"

"Good luck!"

"Luck, good luck?"

The Second Prince looked at Qin Chuan, his eyes nearly popping out.

"Good luck can bring good fortune to the nation, can't it? Think about it, the Eldest Prince was once cornered by you, forced to hide in Flying Leopard Academy for cultivation, which was his unluckiest time.

Later, you found him again. Originally, our last assassination plan was foolproof, but then his luck suddenly turned for the better, meeting Yang Xiao."

The Second Prince thought of Yang Xiao and gritted his teeth in hatred,

"Hmph, that's right. If Yang Xiao hadn't ruined our assassination attempt, the Eldest Prince would already be dead. Now I wouldn't have to contend with him for the throne. Even worse, my Two-star Divine Weapon, the Red Sun Sword, was taken by him."

Thinking about the Red Sun Sword brought a pang to the Second Prince's heart.

Qin Chuan continued,

"Since knowing Yang Xiao, the Eldest Prince's life has taken a turn.

Think about it, changing the distribution plan of Purple Origin Star Crystal, something utterly impossible, was accomplished by him.

Who would've thought back then that Yang Xiao would turn out to be the big boss of Purple Origin Star!"

"Moreover, the Eldest Prince leveraged Yang Xiao's strength, and Yang Xiao, in turn, leveraged the Eldest Prince's strength. They helped each other, leading to the situation today.

Even the Great Dragon Empire was nearly crippled by Yang Xiao, losing the Crystal Stone distribution quota, not to mention losing two Emperor Level superpowers, greatly weakening their national strength.

On the other hand, our Flying Leopard Empire was the biggest beneficiary, the nation's fate fundamentally changed, and your father also recognized that perhaps the Eldest Prince is the destined heir to the throne of the Flying Leopard Empire."

The Second Prince was silent after hearing this.

Qin Chuan glanced at the Second Prince,

"So, this time, heaven-sent opportunity, we will turn the tables and eliminate both Yang Xiao and the Eldest Prince, eliminating future troubles forever.

If you don't take action now, you might never have another chance in the future.

You know better than anyone what you've done to the Eldest Prince all these years.

If the Eldest Prince inherits the throne, he might spare me, but will he spare you?"

The Second Prince's heart jolted, gritting his teeth, he said fiercely:

"Boss Qin, gather your Guard Team. Let's join forces and head to the Northern Suburb Forest tonight to eliminate the Eldest Prince and Yang Xiao."

"Alright!"

.....

In the Northern Suburb Forest of Wentian City, Yang Xiao, the Eldest Prince, Liang Bao, Fan Chen, Wang Qian, and others were hunting in the forest, surrounding a giant Saber-Toothed Tiger. With the combined firepower of a dozen people, they finished it off in a few minutes.

For the Evolvers of Wentian City, hunting in the Northern Suburb Forest was a form of entertainment, relaxing their minds, stretching their muscles, while practicing various Cultivation Skills.

At midday, a dozen people gathered around a bonfire for a barbecue, the aroma of grilled meat wafting through the forest.

This was about fifty kilometers from the edge of the Northern Suburb Forest, and pushing a few more dozen kilometers inward would lead to the forest's central area.

"Uh—"

A clear bird cry came from mid-air.

Everyone looked up, and a dozen giant birds swooped down from the sky.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp whistle filled the air as a Feathered Arrow shot towards everyone.

Instantly, thousands of Feathered Arrows appeared in the sky, raining down like a shower upon the bonfire.

"Boom!"

Those Feathered Arrows erupted into flames when they were still dozens of meters from the ground, turning the sky bright red instantly.

"Oh no, we're under attack, activate the Defensive Light Shield, defend with the three Divine Weapons!"

Yang Xiao and the others "buzzed" as they activated the Defensive Light Shield.

Liang Bao, Fan Chen, and the Eldest Prince each wielded a Two-star Divine Weapon, releasing fierce Killing Aura.

Three hundred-meter-long fierce Killing Auras swung violently in mid-air, instantly shattering the void above their heads, causing the incoming Feathered Arrows to explode in succession.

The thousands of Fiery Feather Arrows in mid-air shot into the forest.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Massive explosions resounded continuously within a kilometer radius, enveloped in the bombardment of the Fiery Feather Arrows.

Without the defense of the three Divine Weapons, everyone would have been within the bombardment range of the Fiery Feather Arrows, with unimaginable consequences.

"Damn, the Second Prince wants to blow us up, how ruthless!"
