However, a sinister murderous intent flashed in the Dragon Princess' eyes.
"Everyone has weaknesses. Xiao Wuyou is no exception. If we can capture his junior sister, won't he be obedient no matter how strong he is?"
When the Dragon Prince heard this, he immediately understood what he meant and sneered as well.
The next morning, before the battle for the crown prince began, Prince Long came to visit and expressed his desire to talk to Xiao Wuyou alone.
In the room, the Dragon Prince's smile was a little forced.
"Brother Xiao, this matter is of great importance. Can you please dismiss the people around you?"
"Your Highness has said it before." Xiao Wuyou couldn't help but laugh.
"Yan'er is my wife, Xiaoyu is my junior sister, and Elder Lingbo is my mentor. They are not outsiders. Your Highness, please feel free to speak."
I saw Xiao Wuyou sitting opposite, with Su Lanyu close beside him, Liu Feiyan who was sharpening a knife on his left, and elder Ling Bo who was tasting tea on his right. All of them looked unhappy.
Not to mention Su Lanyu, Prince Dragon felt uneasy being in the same room with three great gods.
"In fact, I want to tell you that the princess intends to murder you."
"What do you mean?"
"Brother Xiao must also know that the venue for the crown prince contest has a special formation that stipulates that non-royal family members cannot attack royal family members."
The royal family can directly suppress the sea people with the dragon's might. This means that when the crown prince fights for the crown prince, if they really want to defeat other royal families, they still have to do it themselves.
Later, some people hired foreign aid to participate in the fight for the crown prince, and the dispute became more and more serious, leading to the Crown Prince Rebellion eight thousand years ago.
Even though the Dragon King had already entered the realm of Refining Void at that time, it still took him a lot of effort and even resulted in him suffering considerable injuries before he put down the rebellion.
Since then, there has been a stipulation in the fight for the crown prince that even if outsiders are involved, they cannot attack the royal family - although since then, no outsiders have been able to participate in the fight for the crown prince.
"Sister Wang wants to take advantage of this and attack you." Prince Long sighed.
A monk who can't act can't be a good royal family. The Dragon Prince looked sad, and he really seemed to feel sorry for Xiao Wuyou.
"What's the benefit for you to tell us this?" Liu Feiyan on the side was a little puzzled.
Su Lanyu answered for her: "He wants to join forces with us to deal with his sister."
"That's right, Sister Lanyu is really smart..."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound, and the elder Lingbo next to him crushed the teacup.
Prince Dragon broke out in a cold sweat and laughed dryly.
"In fact, I know a thing or two about the arrangements made by the Queen Sister. If you are willing to join forces, we can first deal with the Queen Sister, and then have a fair fight."
Everyone looked at each other and got into an argument.
"Tsk, you siblings are killing each other, don't drag us into this." Liu Feiyan was obviously disgusted with Prince Long's behavior.
On the other side, Elder Lingbo sighed: "But if we can join forces with him, it would save us a lot of trouble."
"Ah? What's so scary about the three of us who are gods?" Liu Feiyan laughed a little.
"Not really. In the battle for the crown prince, we are just external aid after all. There are many trials that we cannot interfere with." Elder Lingbo shook his head.
"Besides, the Dragon Princess has been entrenched in the Dragon Palace for many years, so it's not surprising that she made arrangements in advance." Su Lanyu also added.
Even Xiao Wuyou nodded: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, that's the truth."
Prince Long couldn't help but feel delighted: "Did Brother Xiao agree?"
However, Prince Long never expected that Xiao Wuyou would stare at him and say in a strong voice, "But I refuse!"
Logically speaking, it seems like a good idea to team up with the Dragon Prince and take care of the Dragon Princess first.
However, to Xiao Wuyou, the life and death of the brother and sister did not matter at all. The key was to quickly seize the pearl and fulfill Su Lanyu's destiny.
What if we miss the opportunity because of dealing with the Dragon Princess?
"You and I are enemies after all. We don't need the enemy's help!"
"But......."
"No need, I just don't need it!" Xiao Wuyou stood up rudely and waved his hand towards the door.
The Dragon Prince's heart sank, but he did not force it. He smiled kindly and said, "I am just suggesting it."
"However, if you change your mind, I, the prince, will be at your service at any time."
After leaving Xiao Wuyou's room, Prince Dragon's face showed neither joy nor sadness, only deep confusion.
Chapter 45: The Battle for the Crown Prince
-------------------
Shouldn't it?
"This is an open conspiracy. Even if Xiao Wuyou doesn't trust you at first, he will choose to temporarily join forces with you in order to use you. In this way, you will have the opportunity to get close to Su Lanyu!" ------ Yesterday, Sister Wang acted like she was in control of the situation, and Prince Long himself felt that it made sense to do so.
A head-on conflict with Xiao Wuyou is not a wise move. The best strategy is to gain his trust first and then secretly attack Su Lanyu.
Once Su Lanyu is controlled, Xiao Wuyou will be afraid to act rashly and will naturally no longer be a threat.
But unexpectedly, the plan encountered serious obstacles at the first step!
Similarly, in the room, Elder Lingbo was also puzzled.
She came to Xiao Wuyou and said earnestly: "Wuyou, in my opinion, we should pretend to join forces first. Even if the prince really has some plan, it is under our noses, so it is easy to deal with."
Then she looked at Su Lanyu again: "What do you think?"
"Master, what you said makes sense. But Brother Wuyou must have his own plans." Su Lanyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then said apologetically: "Master, this time you should listen to Brother Wuyou."
"You kid..."
Elder Lingbo couldn't help but feel a little depressed. This girl really forgot about her master after following her senior brother.
"Elder Lingbo, the dragon clan has no good intentions. Joining forces with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger." Xiao Wuyou shook his head, feeling quite a bit.
The prophecy scene was one thing, and Xiao Wuyou didn't want the dispute between the siblings to interfere with Su Lanyu's attempt to seize the pearl.
On the other hand, it is true that he believed the Dragon King's lies for eight thousand years, which caused him to develop PTSD towards the dragon clan.
The dragon clan’s words are full of lies. No matter what the other party says, Xiao Wuyou doesn’t intend to believe a single word they say.
Elder Lingbo still had some concerns, seeing that Xiao Wuyou was so determined, Su Lanyu also spoke for him, but in the end he could only nod helplessly.
After simple preparations, the group set out from the Dragon Palace and went to the scene of the battle for the crown prince with the Dragon Princess and the Dragon Prince.
Although they have to be in the sea, if they take the water-avoiding pill in advance, they can move freely and speak like the sea creatures, but the speed is a little slower. Xiao Wuyou is blessed by luck, and Su Lanyu has the blood of the dragon clan, so they can walk on the seabed as if they were on flat ground.
Not far from the Dragon Palace, there is a deep-sea trench that is thousands of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide, called the Dragon Abyss.
All the disputes over crown princes took place here.
This is a world opened up by the Dragon King and several deep-sea masters. It is filled with prohibitions and trials. Only by passing all the trials and reaching the deepest part will one be qualified to be truly respected by people all over the world and be honored as the crown prince.
Above the abyss, a huge crowd of people had already gathered.
"Your Highness, may your military fortune flourish!"
The left side was filled with the Dragon Palace's military officers, arranged in a neat and orderly square formation, exuding a genuine murderous aura and sense of oppression.
They are all the Dragon Prince's direct troops. Although their style is not very good, their combat effectiveness is real.
"Long live Her Royal Highness! Only Her Royal Highness is qualified to be the Crown Prince!"
The right side was filled with civil officials holding banners to cheer for the Dragon Princess. Their momentum was no less than that of the Dragon Prince's army.
In comparison, Su Lanyu's side seemed much quieter.
Every time I walked by, I could hear sighs and groans from both sides. I could even vaguely hear words like "mixed-blood", "human", and "get out".
Before Su Lanyu said anything, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter, "These ungrateful bastards, have you forgotten who saved them a few days ago?"
"That's wrong. After all, they are subordinates of the Dragon Prince and the Dragon Princess. They won't reverse their sides so easily." Su Lanyu sighed.
"However, Xiaoyu, you are not without supporters." Xiao Wuyou laughed at this time: "Didn't you notice that Long Jia and the guards from that day didn't come today?"
"It means that Princess Dragon didn't want them to come and help you, so she deliberately transferred them away."
Xiao Wuyou then pointed to the farthest part of the crowd.
Su Lanyu looked in the direction Xiao Wuyou pointed, and was surprised to find that there were many familiar faces there, calling out her name. However, they did not last long as they were driven further away by other soldiers.
"They are all looking forward to you, Xiaoyu, becoming the crown prince." Xiao Wuyou couldn't help but joked, making the little junior sister smile.
In fact, people do have expectations for Su Lanyu.
For thousands of years, the crown princes have been pure-blooded dragons, and although there have been periods of good rule, their patience has now reached its limit.
Su Lanyu's arrival undoubtedly represents the new trend of reform, which makes them look forward to it very much.
But there are also many people who don’t know what exactly happened that day.
"Is this Su Lanyu really that good?"
"Nonsense, at least she's willing to help us fight against sea monsters, and she even said she'd cut taxes!"
"But wasn't it Xiao Wuyou who dealt with the sea monster in the end?"
"That being said, she is Xiao Wuyou's junior sister, so they won't be too different in the future..."
"Oh, it would be better if Xiao Wuyou could participate in the battle for the crown prince."
"That's enough. He's just a cultivator. What's the big deal?"
The scene a few days ago when Su Lanyu sacrificed himself to fight against the evil whale did win many supporters. But relying on just one heroic performance was too weak after all. Most people were still not very interested in Xiao Wuyou and Su Lanyu and remained on the sidelines.
Xiao Wuyou was well aware of this, but what he wanted was to help Xiaoyu transcend fate and change the prophecy, not the position of crown prince itself.
The Dragon Palace Seal has been completed, and the support of the people is no longer his concern.
Passing through the boiling crowd, the three royal families participating in the fight for the crown prince, with their few trusted followers, each stood at the edge of the deep sea trench. Below was the Dragon Abyss.
Due to restrictions on the rules, each royal family member can bring no more than five confidants with him.
Prince Dragon brought the sisters Long Chi and Long Qing with him, while Princess Dragon brought Long Chuhan, who was also one of the four dragon generals, and filled out the staff with other Nascent Soul masters.
However, Su Lanyu only brought Xiao Wuyou, Elder Ling Bo and Liu Feiyan, but judging from their cultivation, they seemed to have the advantage.
Princess Long was the first to raise her eyebrows at Xiao Wuyou and sneered with great disdain: "Xiao Wuyou, you still have a chance to regret now."
However, Xiao Wuyou acted as if he didn't hear her and didn't even look at her.
Trash talk before the game is so uncivilized and unnecessary.
Go curse the air by yourself.
Seeing the other party being so aloof, Princess Long couldn't help but twitch her lips and felt a little uneasy.
It was indeed not a good sign that Xiao Wuyou did not join forces with the Dragon Prince as she had expected.
On the other side, Prince Long continued to follow the plan and said kindly: "Brother Xiao, don't pay attention to Sister Wang. As long as you and I work together, she can't cause any trouble!"
However, Xiao Wuyou ignored him and didn't say a word.
Prince Long's eyelids twitched, and he was very unhappy. He had never begged someone so humbly in his life, but in return he received such a cold treatment!
But at the moment, in order to win Xiao Wuyou's favor, he could only smile awkwardly and not get angry.
Soon, an old man from the sea tribe stepped on the void and stood at the top of the abyss. He glanced at everyone one by one and said in a hoarse voice: "The competition for the crown prince has officially begun. I wish you all good luck in martial arts!"
Until the moment he finished speaking, Xiao Wuyou finally leaped up, hugged Su Lanyu, and at the cost of his luck, he used the Tanxu Youlong Step to the extreme, flew down, and slid straight down like a bolt of lightning, leaving the dragon siblings far behind!
Chapter 46: It’s just right not to agree!
-----------------------
The sooner the battle for the crown prince is completed, the sooner Xiaoyu will be safe. Xiao Wuyou did not hesitate and planned to win directly by speed.
As for Elder Liu Feiyan and Elder Ling Bo, they were at the level of Divine Transformation, so although their speed was a little slower, they were still able to catch up with Xiao Wuyou.
"What are you standing there for? Chase him!" Princess Dragon couldn't help but order the silver-haired young man beside her.
Long Chuhan also has the cultivation level of a spirit being transformed, and has the bloodline of an ice-toothed tiger shark. Among the four dragon generals of this generation, he is the strongest.
However, as aloof as he was, he had to reveal his true form under the Dragon Princess's order, transforming into a bright silver tiger shark and carrying the Dragon Princess on his back.
On the other side, Prince Long ordered people to prepare mounts in advance, the lightning seahorse, which was not very powerful but was known for its speed. It was an endangered dilute sea beast. Several people rode on the seahorse and headed towards the abyss.
"Ice-toothed tiger shark! General Chu Han's cultivation has improved again!"
"You prepared five Nascent Soul-stage lightning seahorses at once. Your Highness really spent a lot of money this time!"
