Chapter 1396 The Truth About Royal Power
"…………Then, even if you, the fourth prince, have expressed your father-son relationship to me in a friendly manner a few times, it is only a precaution against his lifelong rival and a change in his smooth royal power. My father is deeply afraid that everything he has will be rewritten because of Xuantong's appearance. Therefore, he appointed four princes to fight for the throne for Xuantong. On the one hand, he can speed up his plan, and on the other hand, he can use the hands of other princes to get rid of you, the fourth prince."

Xuan Xiao shouted in disbelief, "Impossible, why would father do this?"

Even though he was mentally prepared for the King of Hell's ruthlessness, he just thought that his father wanted to choose the best successor to Senyu through fighting among the princes.

Unexpectedly, from the very beginning, the King of Hell wanted to kill all of them.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so he really couldn't accept why his father, who loved him so much, would do this.

Xuan Li had anticipated Xuan Xiao's attitude, "Eighteenth brother, I know it's hard for you to accept all this. As the youngest son that father loves the most, a youngest son that father truly cares for. I'm afraid even father doesn't understand why father likes you so much. Maybe it's because you're not exactly like him, but you have a certain attraction to him. Therefore, under the prophecy of 'the nineteenth son eats his brother', the prince who should have died first, father gave him a tin cup to save his life, and let you become his pioneer in the competition for the realm of suffering. That year, father kept you for the incident of the sky fire, and for this reason. And for the sake of "

Xuan Bin was shocked when he heard this, "Xuan Li, what did you say the sky fire was..."

Xuan Li told the three people the truth of what happened back then, "That's right, from the beginning to the end, there was no prophecy of 'Nineteenth Son Eats Brother'. All of this was directed and acted out by father himself, in order to make Tianluozi enter the realm of suffering. Even Shensi is just father's secondary brain."

Xuan Xiao said in shock: "You said Shensi is my father's deputy brain, how is this possible? Everyone in Senyu knows that Shensi has been there since long ago. The candidate for the crown prince was chosen by Shensi. It has been twenty-eight generations so far. The people of Senyu cannot live long. When Shensi existed, my father was probably not born yet. Unless..."

At this point, Xuan Xiao thought of something and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Xuan Bin and Xuan Tong also thought of the answer and were shocked.

Xuan Li took over Xuan Xiao's words and revealed the cruelest truth about the power of the Forest Prison. "Unless my father has been alive since long ago. From the first King of Hell to the 28th King of Hell who now rules the Forest Prison, they are all the same person."

Xuanxiao was completely shocked by the truth, "How is this possible?"

Xuan Li revealed the whole truth behind the King of Hell. "Because of the aging of his body, the King of Hell has chosen to secretly kill his son who inherited the throne and succeed him. It can be said that every time a new king ascends the throne, it is the beginning of a new life for the King of Hell. At the same time, it is also the death of the successor prince. And the nineteenth brother, Tianluozi, is just a spare body created from his own flesh and blood, a divine body that can save his life in times of crisis in the future."

The so-called four princes competed for the throne, and the final winner received nothing but a death warrant to hell.

This was too ironic for Xuan Bin and Xuan Xiao, who had always been determined to seize the throne of Senyu.

While Xuan Tong and Xuan Xiao were still immersed in the shock of the truth, Xuan Bin suddenly asked, "Where did you get this information?
Xuan Li explained how he knew the truth about all this, "I have been with my father for a long time, and I know that some things are not as simple as they seem. But like you, I just thought that my father wanted to use this extreme method to select a qualified successor. Until one day, I accidentally entered the secret room, saw the mask in the secret room, and accidentally discovered the secret of the King of Hell."

Xuan Bin thought of Xuan Li's withdrawal from the core of power, "So, this is why you stay at home."

Xuan Li admitted: "Originally, although I didn't know what the mask was, I knew that the mask was hidden by the King of Hell and there must be some unknown secrets. Therefore, I never told the other brothers. It was not until shortly after the shocking incident in Jialuo Palace that I met a man who wanted to solve the mystery."

Xuan Bin immediately thought of who Xuan Li was talking about. "Is the person you are talking about the prince of Ziyao Dynasty, Shaoyang Jun, who once taught you martial arts?" Xuan Li nodded and said, "Yes, it is him. He told me all the past of Senyu and made me aware of the ambition of the King of Hell. From then on, I made up my mind to stop this inhumane demon."

Xuan Xiao asked, "How can you be sure that what Shao Yangjun said is the truth?"

Xuan Li would not believe Shao Yang Jun's one-sided statement. "After Shao Yang Jun told me the truth, I have been secretly collecting evidence and found that it matches what Shao Yang Jun said."

Xuan Bin asked: "So, this is why you chose to betray Sen Yu? You would rather trust outsiders than your own brothers."

Even if the King of Hell wants to take his sons' lives, Xuan Li can just tell everyone the truth.

Xuan Bin believed that as long as all the princes joined forces, they would be able to kill the King of Hell, whose strength had declined after generations of possession of other people's bodies.

In response to Xuan Bin's questioning, Xuan Li was silent for a while, then asked the three people, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Xuan Bin wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly find out the reason why Xuan Li betrayed him. "As long as you are willing to tell me, I am willing to believe it."

Xuan Li said something shocking, "If I tell you that I have never leaked any information about Senyu, would you still believe it?"

"How is this possible?" Xuan Xiao really couldn't accept this answer.

In his mind, if Xuan Li had not been a secret agent, given Senyu's national strength, how could it have suffered consecutive defeats?

Xuan Li said: "After learning the truth about the King of Hell, Lord Shaoyang tried to recruit me. But as a descendant of the Senyu King, it is impossible for me to join other forces. So Lord Shaoyang made a bet with me."

Xuan Bin asked: "What kind of bet is it?"

Xuan Li then told the bet between himself and Shao Yangjun, "He once predicted that in the future, Ziyao Celestial Empire and Heihai Senyu will be connected. At that time, Senyu will fight with Celestial Empire. And Senyu will end up in complete defeat. If everything is as he said, I will make a choice at that time."

"So, you agreed, and that's why you got hit that day." Xuan Bin already had the answer in his mind.

Xuan Li's own judgment at that time and his deduction of the subsequent situation said, "The situation is just as Shaoyang Jun predicted. Senyu was defeated. Jian Wuji and others have led the army to surround the last fighting force of Senyu. In addition, the prime minister is a hidden stake, and Xuanmie is undecided. Even if you, my brother, are lucky enough to break through the siege, there will be heavy casualties. The impact of Tongtian Pagoda has already made Senyu lose its natural advantages. How can it stop the army of the Celestial Empire led by Yuwen Tuo? Senyu's defeat is inevitable. If I don't act decisively, Senyu will be destroyed."
