Chapter 289: The 8th Prince Seizes the Throne

Three days later.

A secret message immediately caused a commotion in the entire imperial city - the two powerful forces, Xu Guozhong and Mingdetang, actually both expressed their intention to support the eighth prince.

At the same time, other forces secretly discovered that more than a dozen strong men with strength exceeding that of Soul Sages had entered the Eighth Prince's bedroom, including a Titled Douluo!
Obviously, there is definitely a very powerful force supporting the Eighth Prince!
After the news came out, it immediately caused a shock in the entire palace, and all the princes were in a state of panic.

They worked hard, made countless verbal promises, and spent every day either making big promises or on the way to making big promises, and only then did they win over some small forces...

And this bastard Eighth Prince had just announced his participation in the competition for the throne, and yet so many powerful forces chose to support him.

And it has the full support of Mingde Hall and a prince!

You know, even Xu Tianran at the beginning had not yet convinced the support of these two major forces!
What merits and abilities does this bastard Eighth Prince have?

No one could think of the reason, no matter how hard they tried.

……

……

"boom!"

In the Sixteenth Prince's bedroom, Xu Tianan, who was usually calm in dealing with things, slapped the thousand-year-old sandalwood desk in front of him and smashed it. He looked like an angry lion with bloodshot eyes.

"Why! Why!! How can he be better than me if he is just a jerk who eats and waits for death?"

"Jing Hongchen and Xu Guozhong are two old fools who are really blind. It would be fine if they just rejected my invitation, but they actually turned around and supported that useless Eighth Prince!"

"That loser, he eats, drinks, gambles and has nothing to do all day, what good is there about him!!"

Xu Tianan roared angrily, and his terrifying aura overwhelmed the entire bedroom. Several maids even died suddenly because they could not withstand this terrifying pressure.

The other maids and guards around all knelt on the ground, trembling.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Their prince showed outsiders that he was brave and resourceful, had great ambitions, and loved the people.

But only his personal guards and maids knew that Xu Tianan was an out-and-out tyrant.

They would often kill their subordinates to vent their anger. These guards and maids had only been here for less than half a month, and almost all of them were newcomers, because all the old ones had died suddenly...

Some of those maids had only been here for a day or two...

"Your Highness, please calm down. There must be something hidden behind this matter. His Majesty is still alive. As long as your performance can be appreciated by His Majesty, there may be a chance to turn the tables."

Beside Xu Tianan, a middle-aged man in a white robe slowly opened his mouth and tried to persuade him.

The man in white robe is named Zhao Gao. He is Xu Tianan’s military advisor, the head of the think tank, and the eldest son of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family is one of the top ten families in Mingdu. Originally, they had defected to the Third Prince. After the Third Prince fell, they set their sights on the most promising Xu Tianan, which was also a gamble.

"Then tell me what is going on!" Xu Tianan was still furious.

"I guess that the reason why the Red Dust Hall Master and the Prince chose the Eighth Prince might be because of the Eighth Prince's bloodline..."

"After all, everyone knows that His Majesty values ​​bloodline the most, so they are placing their bets on the Eighth Prince..."

Zhao Gao spoke slowly. "Bloodline... What's the use of bloodline? A useless person like myna, even if it's pure bloodline, is just a piece of mud that can't be helped!" Upon hearing about bloodline, Xu Tianan felt even more unhappy.

After all, although he was extremely talented, the purity of his royal bloodline was at the bottom among all the princes...

Among the royal clans, there are the talent faction and the bloodline faction.

The clan members and forces that once supported the Third Prince were all from the bloodline faction, because the Third Prince inherited the most pure and orthodox martial soul of the royal family - the Sun Martial Soul, which also had the highest bloodline concentration.

Those who support Xu Tianran are the talented faction.

Although Xu Tianran's royal bloodline was not pure and he did not inherit the sun martial soul, he awakened the "Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon" martial soul, which was very rare but extremely powerful among the royal family.

If we only talk about combat power, Xu Tianran can definitely crush the third prince!

After all, the second prince once had the highest blood concentration, but he was defeated by Xu Tianran in the struggle with Xu Tianran, and his body was left without a trace.

Those bloodline factions that originally supported the second prince began to turn to support the third prince.

The third prince lived up to everyone's expectations. He knew that he was no match for Xu Tianran, so he chose to rely on the purity of his bloodline and continuously win over the bloodline factions within the royal family. At the same time, he also did a lot of deeds and was greatly appreciated by the emperor.

Xu Tianran was secretly trying to win over other forces, and the two sides were evenly matched.

It’s a pity that the third prince and Xu Tianran both died suddenly.

This benefited the later princes.

These princes had tried their best to win over all the major forces, but they never expected that the useless Eighth Prince would come out on top. This was very frustrating and painful...

"Your Highness, the threat posed by the Eighth Prince to us is still too great. I suggest that we temporarily unite with the other princes to..."

Zhao Gao's face gradually became gloomy and he made a gesture as if he was wiping his neck.

"I do want to, but Xu Guozhong and Jing Hongchen are not fools. How could they not be prepared at all?" Xu Tianan frowned, feeling a little powerless.

Although many factors will affect the fight for the throne, combat power is undoubtedly the greatest influence.

With the support of Jing Hongchen and Xu Guozhong, it is simply impossible to eliminate the Eighth Prince by force.

“No matter what, we have to give it a try. It doesn’t necessarily require killing by force. Other means can also be used. Your Highness and several other princes are united to form an extremely powerful force. We still have a good chance.” Zhao Gao said gritting his teeth.

Their Zhao family originally invested in the third prince and paid a huge price for it.

But no one expected that the third prince died suddenly and inexplicably, which caused all their previous huge investments to go down the drain.

Now that the Zhao family has turned to invest in Xu Tianan, it can be said that they have put all their family assets on the line, and are completely desperate! Let's go for it!
If successful, his Zhao family will take off immediately.

If Xu Tianan fails in the end, then his Zhao family will be finished! Even if they are not exterminated by their enemies, they will be exiled to a remote city, which is no different from extermination of the family.

Now can be said to be the best opportunity. If they don’t give it a try, and wait until the Eighth Prince grows up, they will really have no chance.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" Hearing this, Xu Tianan gritted his teeth and made up his mind to give it a try!
