Chapter 289: The Banquet Is Not a Good Banquet (Ch 289)

As the dragon chariot pulled by dragon horses arrived in front of the gate of the Mighty Palace, the pupils of everyone present, except the Martial Saint Emperor, constricted.

Using the Holy Emperor’s dragon chariot, and driving it directly to the gate of this mighty palace?

Who among those present had ever received this honor? Not to mention them, even the Martial Saint Emperor himself had never driven here.

For a moment, the eyes of many princes and princesses were filled with jealousy and resentment.

I hate why Lin Ye can be so valued by my own father.

Only a few people who wanted to fight for power had some deep meaning in their eyes. They didn’t know what the purpose of Emperor Wu Sheng was.

But there is absolutely no good intention!

After all, his father, the emperor, had learned all kinds of conspiracies and tricks before his death.

In the past, he relied on a pair of iron fists to dominate the world and never needed any conspiracy.

Now, the mystery is getting deeper and deeper in his mind. Even the top counselors can’t guess what the Martial Saint Emperor is thinking.

As the dragon chariot stopped, Lin Ye and Wu Mingyue also walked down slowly.

The two walked side by side and walked directly into the majestic hall. For a moment, everyone turned their eyes to them.

There is curiosity, jealousy, murderous intent, and anger…

All kinds of eyes fell on the two of them, but both Lin Ye and Wu Mingyue seemed to be completely unconcerned about these eyes.

The two of them walked into the hall on their own, and Wu Mingyue bowed to the Martial Saint Emperor who was standing high up.

“Father!”

“Holy Emperor.”

“We are all family, no need to be so polite!”

A stream of spiritual power directly lifted Wu Mingyue up. As for Lin Ye, he just said hello and had no intention of greeting at all, so naturally he didn’t need to be helped.

The Martial Saint Emperor was delighted. He stood up from the dragon throne and appeared in front of Lin Ye in an instant.

“Hahahaha, Lin Ye, it’s great that you can come!”

Then he turned around and introduced to everyone: “This is the Holy Son of the Zhengqi Sect, Mingyue’s future Taoist partner. He is a distinguished guest of our Wu Dynasty. If anyone offends him, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

After the introduction, Emperor Wu Sheng directly made a gesture of invitation.

“Come on, Lin Ye, don’t be polite, just treat this as your own home and take a seat.”

After saying that, the Martial Saint Emperor brought Lin Ye to his position.

As the eldest princess, she naturally holds the position closest to the Holy Emperor.

The table was filled with precious spiritual food and wine. After Lin Ye took his seat, the Martial Saint Emperor returned to the dragon throne and said loudly, “The reason why we are holding a banquet in this Mighty Palace today is not only because of our distinguished guest Lin Ye, but also because of one more thing I want to announce.”

“That is the future Holy Emperor! And the current Crown Prince!”

“Um?!”

Hearing the words of the Martial Saint Emperor, everyone was stunned.

What’s going on?

The crown prince position will be announced today? They had not received any news before and had not prepared anything. How could they decide today?

What about the competition? What about the struggle?

The Martial Saint Emperor just had the final say? He didn’t give others a chance to compete?

“Father!”

The eldest prince was the first to become restless. If the Holy Emperor announced the position of the crown prince, he would lose the chance to compete for it!

In this immortal dynasty, it naturally cannot be like the dynasties in the secular world. In the secular dynasties, even if someone comes to power, they can still choose to rebel.

But rebel in the Immortal Dynasty?

I’m afraid you don’t think your life is too long!

Once the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the Holy Emperor, the entire Immortal Dynasty will obey his orders alone.

Unless he has committed some serious mistake, the ancestors of the ancestral land will naturally appear and depose him from the throne of the Holy Emperor.

But basically, as long as the person is not mentally retarded, he will not make a big mistake.

Therefore, if the Martial Saint Emperor really appoints the crown prince in public, no one will stand a chance!

“Um?”

The Martial Saint Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at his eldest son.

A powerful aura swept out, it was a combination of the royal spirit and the power of the emperor.

Click, click, click…

There were crackling sounds all over the eldest prince’s body for a while, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and held on, not allowing himself to sit down.

After a moment, the Martial Saint Emperor retracted his momentum and slowly said, “My son, do you have anything to say?”

“Father! I think the position of crown prince should not be taken lightly. It represents the future of our Wu Dynasty. We should follow the tradition…”

“shut up!”

The Martial Saint Emperor’s expression became increasingly cold, and he directly interrupted the eldest prince’s speech.

“Do you think my words are useless? Tradition? What tradition? Let you fight for this position?”

Now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

The eldest prince naturally would not back down at this time.

“Yes! This is the tradition of my Wu Dynasty! Even you, my father, must abide by it! Otherwise…”

boom!!!

This time, the Martial Saint Emperor did not give the eldest prince any chance to speak. A powerful aura burst out, and everyone was enveloped by it.

There were only a handful of people in the hall who remained calm.

Among them is Lin Ye.

With the halos of the son of destiny and the villain, how could he be afraid of your aura? Are you kidding? What’s more, he also has the bronze coffin and the blood-colored rosary, including the three-piece set of the Human Emperor Sword, Human Emperor Seal, and Human Emperor Banner.

As for Lin Ye now, even if the emperor was present, he would not be able to suppress him with his aura alone.

All the princes and princesses were trembling, as if they would fall to their knees at the next moment.

The Martial Saint Emperor glanced at everyone and said coldly, “Do all of you want this position?”

“…”

Although no one answered, tacit consent is also an answer.

“I am the Holy Emperor. I have the final say on who will take over. As for the so-called tradition, you don’t have to respect it! I have never followed any tradition!”

Hearing the resolute tone of the Martial Saint Emperor, not only the eldest prince, but also the other princes and princesses could no longer sit still.

Only the Ninth Prince looked beaming with joy, and it was obvious that he was determined to get that position.

“Father, I don’t accept it! If you say so, I can only go to the ancestral land to ask the ancestor for help!”

“That’s right! Even though you are the Holy Emperor, you cannot fail to follow the teachings of your ancestors!”

“No matter who you choose, everyone will be dissatisfied! If you are not worthy of your position, you will suffer disaster!”

“Father, we all disagree with your decision. Please take back your order!”

“…”

When it comes to their own interests, the so-called immortal world is no different from the secular world. Kind fathers and filial sons? Not true. It is no secret that the Martial Saint Emperor wants to live again.

If he really succeeds, no one will be able to get that position.

If you want to become the Holy Emperor, you have to fight for it!

This has been the practice throughout the Wu Dynasty. The position of crown prince depends on whether the fists of the princes and princesses are strong enough!
