Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 10 Brother Killing
As the sky was getting light, the situation in the palace came to an end.

Li Yi and his companions did not sleep all night, reading the secret letters that kept coming in.

"Your Highness, Chen Xuan Gu has arrived." Xiao Huan said respectfully.

"Mo Li, go invite him in." Li Yi looked at Xiao Huan and Le Su, "You wait outside."

"Yes." The two men bowed and stood outside the door.

A middle-aged man, not tall and strong, but lean and slender, with a fierce and sharp aura all over his body.

He was like a knife, unsheathed and sharpened, ready to chop off everything in front of him at any time.

He was carrying a sack and casually threw it into the room, looking at Li Yi coldly: "Where is my second brother?"

"You don't recognize me just because I changed my face?" Li Yi said softly, "Brother, you've made me very sad."

"Impossible!" Chen Xuan Gu was shocked. "My second brother is almost the same age as me. You are not even thirty yet. How can you be my second brother?"

Moreover, the two have different body shapes.

Mo Li took out a human skin mask and Li Yi put it on his face: "Now, is it the same?"

Chen Xuan Gu was stunned. The face was exactly the same, but the eyes were even deeper than before, like an abyss.

"When we were about to part, I reminded you that there were extraordinary people in the world. Only you and I know about this." Li Yi said again.

"Yes, if not, how could you create this sword?"

Chen Xuan Gu calmed down, no longer having any doubts in his heart. He grasped the knife at his waist and said, "This beloved knife I described to you, only you can forge it according to my wishes."

The knife on his waist was black and gold in color, but had no complicated patterns. The knife god only had a single word "Gu" on it, and it was a very simple horizontal knife.

He had once described it to Li Yi.

"This sword is called City Massacre. I collected meteorite iron and various rare stones from outer space and asked Master Ou Yezi to forge it."

Li Yi sighed, "I wanted to give it to Big Brother earlier, but later I couldn't find him anywhere. I accidentally learned about his whereabouts, so I sent someone to deliver the knife."

"What is your identity now?" Chen Xuan Gu asked with a frown.

"Yu Chao, Third Prince Li Yi, I use my real names when interacting with you." Li Yi took off his mask and said slowly.

"The Third Prince?" Chen Xuan Gu was shocked. "Rumor has it that the Third Prince is a good-for-nothing?"

He had no taboos. Given the relationship between them, there was no need to worry about any verbal issues.

"If I wasn't a waste, I might have been the one who died last night." Li Yi sighed.

Chen Xuan Gu frowned. He didn't like thinking about this, so he said, "You want me to lurk beside the prince, but do you want me to assassinate him?"

"I won't let my brother take any risks. Killing the crown prince won't help either." Li Yi shook his head and explained, "It's been many years since we last met. I just want to catch up with my brother. The situation in the palace is complicated, and the crown prince's complacency won't last long. After a while, I'll find a chance to withdraw."

"If you want to deal with the prince, I can catch him off guard, so I have a 50% chance of success." Chen Xuan Gu said.

"That's not right. The prince's opponents are Jiange, and even Zuihonglou and Shadow."

Li Yi said seriously: "Brother, just follow my instructions and benefit from it."

"You're thinking about me."

Li Yi said solemnly: "We are sworn brothers and have sworn an oath."

For those fellow countrymen in later generations, sworn brotherhood is bullshit, but for the natives of this world, if sworn brothers cannot be trusted, then few people can be trusted.

"Since you still call me Big Brother, then everything is up to you. Even if it's the Crown Prince, I will kill him for you."

Chen Xuan Gu said this and looked at the sack he brought: "Then I can't let you deal with this person."

"People?" Li Yi was stunned: "Who is this?"

"The second prince." Chen Xuan Gu said.

"The Second Prince?" Li Yi quickly untied the sack. Inside was indeed the Second Prince, but he was covered in wounds. "Why did you capture him? Why didn't you hand him over to the Crown Prince?"

"The Crown Prince didn't want to be known as a fratricidal man, so he asked me to bring the Second Prince out and execute him in secret. If he can't be found, he'll be declared missing."

Chen Xuan Gu explained, "You and I haven't seen each other for many years, and you asked me to lurk beside the prince, so I thought this person might be useful, so I brought him to you." Li Yi fell silent. He didn't mind bearing the reputation of fratricide. Anyway, no one knew about it except them.

But he didn't expect that the second prince would fall into his hands.

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, just leave it to me." Chen Xuan Gu was about to draw his sword and behead the second prince.

"Wait a minute, brother. I have something to ask him." Li Yi picked up the teapot and splashed water on his face.

The tea had already gone cold, and the stimulated Second Prince woke up from his coma.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar face of Li Yi, the fierce-looking Chen Xuan Gu, and the young and beautiful Mo Li.

"Third brother..."

The second prince was very excited and wanted to sit up, but he found that he had no strength in his hands and feet.

"Your hands and feet are broken, there's no need to struggle." Chen Xuan Gu said coldly.

"Crown Prince..." The Second Prince's eyes were filled with resentment, and he gnashed his teeth. Then he smiled bitterly: "Third brother, I didn't expect you to accompany me on this journey. I won't be lonely on the road to the underworld anymore."

Li Yi rubbed his brows and asked directly what was on his mind without any further ado: "Second brother, have you ever discovered our father's secrets while you were in the palace?"

"Father?" The Second Prince was startled. "What do you mean?"

"Eunuch Cao is one of the Four Supremes and has been in the palace for many years. He should have no problem living for a few more decades."

Li Yi sat down beside him and helped him up: "Father is already old, why is Eunuch Cao still loyal to him instead of the Crown Prince?"

The Second Prince was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It seems that you really know nothing." Li Yi was very disappointed: "How many years can the emperor live? Eunuch Cao doesn't consider a way out?"

"Eunuch Cao is one of the Four Supremes. Whoever ascends the throne will have to rely on him."

"The lifespans of the four supreme masters are so long, what about father? With the destiny bestowed upon him, is his cultivation level higher than that of eunuch Cao?" Li Yi's eyes were cold.

The Second Prince's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with fear. He looked at him in shock, "Did the Crown Prince ask you to ask me this? You're not the Third Prince, so who are you?"

Li Yi sneered, "Second brother, how much do you know about the situation in the palace? How dare you start a rebellion? My aging father and my devoted sister have long since become the crown prince of a foreigner. You don't know a single thing!"

"I have already handed over the Duke of Qin's Mansion to you. Unfortunately, you can't even defeat a prince."

"You..." The second prince was increasingly horrified. Duke Qin's Mansion learned that the murderer of the tenth prince was actually spread by this useless third brother.

He looked dejected, as if he had thought of something, and sneered repeatedly, "We all underestimated you. You want to use me to gain the support of the aristocratic family? Impossible! I will never hand the aristocratic family over to you."

"Aristocratic families? They're just a cancer. I only want their food and supplies, and I've already got them.

This is all thanks to my Second Brother, who made all the masters from the aristocratic families leave, so I could move smoothly."

"You..." The Second Prince's eyes widened in disbelief, and he gritted his teeth, "Even if we have food and supplies, you can't win. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are useless!"

"Yes." Li Yi looked at him dimly, his palm on his head: "Then do you know the value of the remaining strength of the Sixth Generation?"

砰

He released a burst of strength from his palm, covering his forehead and causing blood to gushed out.

"It's indeed hard to bear the reputation of a brother who kills his brother, but Your Highness doesn't care." Li Yi stood up: "Because, you and I no longer have any brotherly feelings."

In an instant, an invisible force flew out from the second prince's body and entered Li Yi's body.

His true energy began to boil like water, and from somewhere in the dark, he seemed to have a vague sensation that led to the sky.

Destiny!

"Destiny, destiny, so that's how it is, Emperor Yu wants us to fight!

The destiny that should have been ours was scattered by him."

At this moment, he figured it out, and the true energy in his body reached the limit of the seventh level, catching up with Li Changle.
