Divine King of Honour-Chapter 494: The Eighth Prince

The people on the attic were dumbfounded.

After a long time, they finally came back to their senses.

Xiahou Chun was really killed?

He was brutally crushed to death by the giant beast summoned by Xu Nian.

An Imperial Crown Prince was actually killed in the Imperial Capital, and his death was so tragic.

This incident was probably going to shock the entire Imperial Capital, and a huge storm was about to rise.

Looking at the youth standing above the lake,

everyone's eyes no longer held any disrespect.

Even the geniuses of the Fang Family and Ye Family

now couldn't muster a bit of defiance at this moment.

This youth was too terrifying.

Thinking back now, he could only be described as horrifying.

Being an enemy to such a youth was simply seeking death.

...

On the avenue outside the Crown Prince Palace,

a young man was walking slowly with a middle-aged looking man.

The middle-aged man clearly possessed a Half-Emperor Level cultivation, yet while walking, he consciously stayed a step behind the youth.

The youth seemed to be only around twenty-six years old, but there was a mysterious and unfathomable aura about him.

Especially his eyes— they were as deep as the starry sky.

From beginning to end, a faint smile hung on the young man's lips.

Indeed, this young man was the number one genius of the Imperial Capital, the Eighth Prince.

"Your Highness, now that the Crown Prince is dead, the position of Emperor is likely yours to claim," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the youth's expression didn't change in the slightest.

He seemed not at all excited about the throne that was within easy reach.

"In fact, even if Xu Nian hadn't killed the Crown Prince, the throne couldn't have been his. I've long known about his practice of Evil Techniques, and had already collected all the evidence; the timing to present it to our father was the only factor holding me back. Someone who relies on crooked paths for his power doesn't even register in my eyes," the Eighth Prince said with a light laugh.

His tone carried an air of natural arrogance.

Upon hearing these proud words, the middle-aged man felt no discomfort.

On the contrary, he thought it was to be expected.

Because this youth, whether in terms of strength, talent, or political acumen, far surpassed his peers.

This young man was undoubtedly a born Emperor.

He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

"So, what are your plans moving forward?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"I am very interested in this Xu Nian," said the Eighth Prince with a gentle smile.

"Eh, what does Your Highness mean?" the middle-aged man appeared surprised.

However, after thinking it over, he quickly grasped the Eighth Prince's intent.

"Your Highness is interested in the Dragon Meridian he possesses?" he asked.

He knew that this youth's ambitions were not limited to the Emperor's position of the Tianhen Empire; that would not be enough to satisfy him.

"Not just that. I am interested in everything about Xu Nian, there are many secrets hidden within him. I'm sure his Combat Technique and Body Technique are of surpassingly high quality, far beyond any that our Empire could imagine. Besides that, there's also that Demon Beast he summoned later; I dare say it's the most powerful Demon Beast I've ever seen, capable of controlling Space Power. If it could be subdued, then my Star Pavilion would gain an incredibly strong force," the Eighth Prince said with bright eyes.

He had watched the entire battle between Xu Nian and Xiahou Chun.

The strength Xu Nian displayed assured him there must be great treasures hidden with Xu Nian.

He believed that these treasures were far more valuable than the Emperor's position of the Tianhen Empire.

So, on the way back just now,

he had been thinking about how to take Xu Nian's treasures for himself.

"However, it seems that dealing with this Xu Nian won't be easy. Your Highness saw it as well— Xu Nian's strength seems invincible within the Saint Realm, and unless a Battle Emperor Level expert takes action, it's almost impossible to kill him. In addition to that, Xu Nian also holds the identity of the Divine River Palace Master; killing him will be difficult," said the middle-aged man with a frown.

However, the Eighth Prince smiled upon hearing the middle-aged man's words.

"If it's very difficult for Battle Saint Level experts to kill him, then we'll just have a Battle Emperor Expert do it. As for his identity, that poses some trouble, but who said we have to kill him so openly?" the Eighth Prince said with a sinister laugh.

"Eh, it seems Your Highness already has a plan," the middle-aged man said, taken aback before smiling.

Although the prince was younger than he, he couldn't completely fathom the youth's thoughts.

The Eighth Prince looked at the puzzled middle-aged man, shook his head with a smile, and hinted, "What was Xu Nian's reason for killing Xiahou Chun?"

With the Eighth Prince's guidance, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"For Leng Yanran? Could it be what Your Highness is implying?" the middle-aged man ventured tentatively.

"You're not wrong. Since Xu Nian cares so much for Leng Yanran, why not use this to our advantage? If we capture Leng Yanran and send the news to Xu Nian, do you think he would not go to save his beloved?" the Eighth Prince said with a cold laugh.

"Brilliant! That way, we can prepare an ambush beforehand. No matter how strong Xu Nian is, he will inevitably meet his demise then. At that time, all of Xu Nian's secrets and Dragon Meridian will be yours, Your Highness," said the middle-aged man.

"Now, the only trouble is deciding who to send. If an Emperor-level strong man takes action, they need to suppress their cultivation lest they attract Heavenly Punishment. Not only will they fail to kill Xu Nian, but they might also lose their own lives. Those two have been painstakingly won over by me and could be very useful to me in the future. I wouldn't wish for them to waste an Emperor-level expert over a trivial figure like Xu Nian," said the Eighth Prince with a smile.

"Your Highness might consider sending Elder Hai. You know his strength. Even if he suppresses his cultivation, I am no match for Elder Hai, let alone killing Xu Nian; it surely won't be a problem. Moreover, Elder Hai is also fond of women. You just have to tell him about the benefits of Leng Yanran, and he couldn't possibly resist," said the middle-aged man.

The Eighth Prince's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"From this perspective, Elder Hai really is the best choice. Okay, let him be the one to kill Xu Nian. Just tell him that if he kills Xu Nian, once I become Emperor in the future, I will allow him to comprehend the Tianjian Stele once," the Eighth Prince said.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man revealed a look of surprise and envy.

Comprehend the Tianjian Stele once?

That was an immense opportunity.

One has to know that the Tianjian Stele was the most precious treasure of the Imperial Family.

Those who pledged allegiance to the Star Pavilion and the Imperial Family, the Emperor-level strong men, were almost all lured in by the Tianjian Stele.
