In this way, the issue of succession to the throne would be brought to the table in advance, creating favorable conditions for him to seize the throne.

Second, eliminate Prince Longte’s power.

The Black Earth Fortress was originally under the control of Marquis Mark, who, as a marquis, held a pivotal position in the Dragon Empire.

However, Marquis Mark chose to form an alliance with Prince Longte, which undoubtedly made the Seventeenth Prince feel threatened.

In the eyes of the Seventeenth Prince, Marquis Mark has become a stumbling block on his path to succession.

Therefore, using Lin Yi's death to frame Marquis Mark would not only cause Marquis Mark to lose his title, but also allow him to take this opportunity to place his own people in key positions.

In this way, the Seventeenth Prince not only weakened Prince Longte's power, but also strengthened his own influence.

Carlos is undoubtedly an important trump card in the hands of the Seventeenth Prince.

He climbed up from the bottom of the army step by step, and possessed rich practical experience and deep hatred for the tribes, which made him the most staunch supporter of the Seventeenth Prince.

After Marquis Mark got into trouble, Carlos was able to quickly replace him and become the commander of the legion. There was no doubt that the Seventeenth Prince had made a careful plan behind this.

Normally, a legion would have three deputy legion commanders, but in special times, when something happened to an important figure like Marquis Mark, the higher-ups would often choose to parachute in a new legion commander to lead.

At this time, Carlos's promotion is a bit intriguing.

The last point is that this incident can be used to arouse the hatred of the Holy Dragon Academy towards the tribe, thereby further consolidating and expanding its sphere of influence.

He planned to use Lin Yi's "accidental" death on the battlefield to shift the blame to the tribe, thereby inciting the anger of the Holy Dragon Academy.

In this way, he would have the opportunity to extend his hand into the Holy Dragon Academy and further control this extremely influential academic institution.

However, people are not as good as heaven.

What the Seventeenth Prince did not expect was that Lin Yi would suddenly take over the body of that "unlucky guy" and escape from the tribe's siege.

This unexpected turn completely disrupted the Seventeenth Prince's subsequent plans.

"The Seventeenth Prince is too impatient. He is the youngest among all the princes, but seems to lack patience." Old Man Yunlong said in a deep voice, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

As the president of Shenglong College, he not only has profound academic attainments, but also has a high sensitivity to politics.

It can be said that in the Longteng Empire, few people can understand the current situation more thoroughly than him.

"So, who do you support?" Old Man Yunlong slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Lin Yi with sharp eyes.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing at this moment, as if even the air had frozen.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Of course I will support whoever wins, and there is only one winner now, right?"

"You little naughty boy."

A smile appeared on old man Yunlong's face. Although Lin Yi made old man Yunlong feel a little strange when he first came back, as time went by, the doubts in his heart became less and less.

"Come on, follow me to meet that old fellow Hal Adam."

Elder Yunlong stood up and walked out of the room with Lin Yi and Su Xiao.

The three of them boarded the Holy Dragon Academy's exclusive carriage, which symbolized dignity and glory.

The car body is dominated by deep blue, with golden dragon-shaped decorations wrapped around it, making it look majestic, as if a real dragon is galloping.

The carriage started slowly, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone road, heading towards the palace.

When the soldiers along the way saw the carriage, they stood at attention and saluted, but did not step forward to stop it.

They recognized this carriage; it was the exclusive carriage of the president of Holy Dragon Academy, representing supreme status and privilege.

The emperor once ordered that the carriage did not need to be stopped, which allowed the carriage to move freely on the road to the palace.

The soldiers looked at the carriage passing by, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of the palace gate. Lin Yi and the other two calmly got off the carriage and stepped onto the stone steps of the palace.

"Dean, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time." The eunuch said respectfully to Elder Yunlong.

Elder Yunlong nodded, and took Lin Yi and the eunuchs to the depths of the palace.

They walked through the magnificent palace corridors and came to a quiet courtyard.

"Let's go. Don't let old Hal Adam wait too long." Old man Yunlong said with a smile, his tone revealing the deep friendship between him and the emperor.

The soldiers around did not react when they heard Elder Yunlong address the emperor like this, as if they were already used to it. They all looked forward, maintaining a professional guard posture.

Old Man Yunlong and the current Emperor Hal Adam are indeed old acquaintances.

The friendship between the two can be traced back to their teenage years, when they were not only classmates but also close friends living in the same dormitory at the Royal Intermediate College.

"Yunlong, long time no see."

Hal Adam was sitting on the throne at this moment, with two concubines serving him. The spirit revealed in his eyes made it hard to believe that he was an old man who was about to turn 100 years old.

Old Man Yunlong strode up to Hal Adam, unceremoniously picked up a bunch of grapes to taste, and teased him, "You better take it easy, aren't you afraid of breaking your kidneys?"

Hal Adam was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and waved his hand, signaling the concubines and servants around him to leave.

As the palace gate closed, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of fatigue.

He began to cough violently, and a shocking trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth where he had wiped it with the handkerchief.

"Did you bring the new secret medicine?" Hal Adam's voice was a little anxious.

Old Man Yunlong sighed softly, took out an exquisite small bottle from his arms, and then threw it to Hal Adam, "I brought it."

Hal Adam couldn't wait to open the bottle and drink the secret medicine inside.

As the medicine slid down his throat, his face gradually regained its rosy color and his expression became much more relaxed.

"Has Xiao Shiqi started?"

Hal Adam looked at Lin Yi. This was actually a test he was giving to Xiao Shiqi.

"Xiao Shiqi took action." Elder Yunlong replied with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "He acted very quickly and threw Lin Yi directly into the army. It was obvious that he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

After hearing this, Hal Adam's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are still two days left. In two days, you won't need these things anymore."

Hal Adam threw the secret medicine in his hand to the ground, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

"What's the situation outside now?"

Hal Adam let out a long sigh. At this moment, only Elder Yunlong, Lin Yi and Su Xiao were in the palace.

In order not to alert the enemy, Hal Adam truly decentralized the power.

"The situation is not optimistic. The confrontation between the Seventeenth Prince and Prince Longte is about to reach a critical point. Both sides have been frantically attacking each other's forces recently. Now, two marquises, five earls, and seventeen generals have been dragged into the competition between the two."

"As for the Crown Prince, he is still the same as before. He can't even control his subordinates, so don't expect him to do anything."

"I'm not dead yet, but they're all eyeing my position. They're all traitors."

Hal Adam's face was very gloomy, and he was obviously very unhappy with the performance of his subordinates.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao didn't talk to each other. They were chatting privately in the friend channel frantically.

Doctor: "Why do I feel that there is something wrong with the old emperor's health? Is it my illusion?"

Bai Ye: "I have the same feeling, but after careful sensing, there is nothing wrong. After investigation, it shows that he is just an ordinary old man."

Su Xiao frowned. Obviously, the other party was just an old man who was about to die, but he posed a great threat to the two of them.

It was as if if the two of them killed the old emperor at this moment, then a very tragic end would definitely be waiting for them.

Doctor: "No matter what, just wait and see. This old guy is very experienced, and he doesn't want to let go even though he's over 80 years old."

Lin Yi did not forget what the old emperor said just now. In two days, these secret medicines will be useless.

In other words, this battle for the throne will be over in just two days.

After saying that, the old emperor took out two coins, one black and one white, and then motioned Lin Yi and Su Xiao to come up.

"This coin is given to you. All you need to do is attend my funeral in two days and throw this coin into the coffin."

Hal Adam gave Su Xiao a black coin and Lin Yi a white coin.

After taking the coin, Lin Yi examined it carefully.

It was once regarded as a mythical item, and legend has it that only the destined person can find and use it. However, the power of immortality is never free, and the eternal silence is the heavy price paid for it.

Price: 180000 Paradise Coins

At the same time, Su Xiao also checked the properties of the black coin, and both of them were shocked at the same time.

The moment he grasped the coin, Lin Yi finally understood where the inexplicable sense of threat came from.

He raised his head and fixed his eyes on the top of Hal Adam's head, where he vaguely caught a glimpse of a faintly visible transparent thread.

The thread meandered upwards, penetrated the ceiling, and disappeared into the boundless void.

"Can you see it?" Hal Adam noticed the change in Lin Yi and Su Xiao's eyes, and a smile flashed across his face.

It was the first time he had seen someone see this thread.

"Ah."

"Interesting, it seems I found the right person."

A look of interest finally appeared on Hal Adam's face.

You know, even old man Yunlong couldn't feel the silk thread on his body, but the two young men Lin Yi and Su Xiao could actually see it.

"Okay, that's it." Hal Adam said softly, revealing a trace of fatigue, "Yunlong, please bring the person here in two days."

Hal Adam waved his hand, then sat down on the throne and took a nap. Seeing this, Elder Yunlong led Lin Yi and Su Xiao to quietly leave the palace.

After leaving the palace, the pressure on Lin Yi and Su Xiao was finally relieved a lot.

After entering the palace just now, the two of them had always felt that something was staring at them. Now that they had left the palace, this feeling finally dissipated.

"Alas, I don't know whether this thing is good or bad for you." Old Man Yunlong sighed, with a bit of worry in his tone.

The method of immortality used by Hal Adam was found by Old Man Yunlong from ancient books.

In order to find these two coins, old man Yunlong can be said to have taken great pains.

The army that finally brought the coins over suffered heavy casualties, with only one in ten surviving. They almost sacrificed their lives to retrieve the two coins from the ruins.

"You two must keep this thing properly and never leave it anywhere." After getting on the carriage, Elder Yunlong solemnly warned Lin Yi and Su Xiao.

"Can this coin really bring eternal life?"

Lin Yi stroked the white coin in his hand. Although the hint in the Samsara Paradise indicated that it did have the ability to grant eternal life, it was also accompanied by huge negative effects.

Just by looking at those prompts, Lin Yi felt that this was not an auspicious thing.

"It can indeed bring eternal life, but the price should be extremely heavy. Eternal life is not that simple." Elder Yunlong said in a deep voice, "I don't know whether Hal Adam is right to do this."

As the carriage slowly left, news of the emperor's sudden death spread in the imperial city that night.

This sudden change plunged the entire imperial city into deep shock.

As night fell, three heavyweights in the court, the Seventeenth Prince, Prince Longte and the Crown Prince, gathered in the palace.

Their hearts were filled with doubt and anxiety, because no one was sure whether the old emperor had really passed away.
