Chapter 298 The Competition Begins (Ch 298)

“Brother Shengzi, I think the Second Prince is plotting against you. After all, your relationship with Lin and Lin Ye is now widely known in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. How could he not know?”

Ling Ruoqing frowned slightly.

She hated the way the Second Prince stared at her. If he had not been invited, she would have wanted to dig out his eyes.

Ever since hearing about Lin Ye’s childhood experiences, Ling Ruoqing felt distressed and also had a desire for revenge.

Whenever they see an enemy, they want to gouge out their eyes and let them all experience the pain of having their eyes gouged out.

He didn’t have any good feelings towards the Lin family.

Hearing Ling Ruoqing’s words, Lin Yu nodded: “I naturally know that he wants to use us, but Junior Sister Ling, let me tell you one thing, that is, we came to this Wu Dynasty not to help him win the throne.”

“Um?”

There was a hint of doubt in Ling Ruoqing’s beautiful eyes. If they didn’t come to help the Second Prince win the throne, then why did they come?

Lin Yu smiled but said nothing, obviously not intending to say anything.

The smart Ling Ruoqing naturally didn’t ask any more questions. After saying a few words, she said goodbye and left.

After Ling Ruoqing left, Lin Yu’s expression gradually became indifferent.

“Ming Lao, is that thing really in the Wu Dynasty?”

“Of course!”

An old voice sounded in Lin Yu’s mind: “Why do you think Wu Zhen wants to live again? As long as we get that thing, not only will your cultivation level be able to reach a higher level, but I will also be able to have a physical body!”

“As long as I recover my former cultivation, I promise to help you destroy the Lin family.”

Hearing this, Lin Yu’s mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of deep meaning in his words: “Then I’ll leave it to Elder Ming.”

“Hahahaha, you are my disciple. There is no need for any requests between you and me. Don’t worry.”

The room fell into silence again.

…

Five days passed in a flash. On this day, the entire Budo City was blocked. Strong soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere. The city gates were tightly closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The city was under martial law.

Even transactions between cultivators were directly prohibited because a battle for succession to the throne was to be held in the Martial Arts City today.

This is an important moment, so naturally, I won’t let anyone disturb me.

In the imperial palace, all the civil and military officials, concubines, and even guards and palace maids were busy, and everyone had a heavy expression on their face.

After today, the future of the Holy Emperor will be decided for the entire dynasty.

There is no room for carelessness.

If there is any mistake, it will be a serious accident for the dynasty, and even skinning and soul refining will not be enough to make up for it.

Behind the Mighty Hall of the Imperial Palace, there is a huge open space.

In the center of this open space is a newly built arena. All the materials used for the arena are top-notch so as to prevent it from being easily destroyed.

Various treasures surrounded the arena, forming a large formation.

As long as spiritual power is input into it, the formation can be activated, and tall stands are built around the arena.

In the fight for succession, besides bloodline and ability, military force is naturally extremely important.

After all, the Wu Dynasty has always been famous for its powerful fists.

When the Martial Saint Emperor was young, he suppressed everyone with his iron fists.

Boom!!!

At this moment, the dragon chariot that Lin Ye had ridden before slowly came over. The Martial Saint Emperor walked down from it and sat down on the dragon throne on the front stand.

And Empress Wu had already been waiting here.

Even when the Martial Saint Emperor came to her side, she did not have any intention of looking at him. Instead, she looked towards the arena, as if she was thinking about something.

Soon, all the civil and military officials, as well as the princes and princesses, arrived here one after another.

After paying their respects to the Martial Saint Emperor, they each sat down on the stands.

Empress Wu’s beautiful eyes kept scanning the crowd, and finally, her gaze fixed on a man.

Wearing a red robe, with a handsome face, a slightly raised mouth corner, and standing there, he has the temperament of a sharp sword out of its sheath.

Who else could it be if not Lin Ye?

At this moment, Lin Ye was standing beside Wu Mingyue, and then he slowly sat down. When he sat down, he seemed to feel something and turned his head to look.

Empress Wu and Lin Ye’s eyes met at this moment.

At the moment of intersection, Empress Wu seemed to be guilty and quickly dodged. Her crystal clear earlobes were red and extremely cute.

Lin Ye has been staying in Wu Mingyue’s mansion these days and has never come out.

However, Empress Wu did not go to the eldest princess’s residence, which made Wu Mingyue very strange, as the fight for the throne was about to begin.

I asked my own mother for help several times but failed.

Every time she said that Feng was unwell.

But the general plan had been decided, so Wu Mingyue didn’t care about her mother’s little willfulness.

After seeing Queen Wu avoiding his gaze, Lin Ye’s eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, but then he turned his gaze towards the Second Prince.

Two familiar figures came into view.

“Why are they here?”

Hearing Lin Ye’s whisper, Wu Mingyue turned around and asked in confusion: “What’s wrong? Lin Ye?”

Hearing this, Lin Ye shook his head and didn’t say much.

Wu Mingyue saw Lin Ye looking thoughtful, and then her beautiful eyes looked in the direction Lin Ye had looked before.

Um?

Upon seeing this, Wu Mingyue was also stunned for a moment.

Lin Yu.

Isn’t this Lin Ye’s elder brother? Why was he invited by his younger brother?

Second brother, do you really want to do your best to fight for this position?

Just as everyone was thinking about different things, the Martial Saint Emperor stood up and said loudly: “Everyone, I asked you to come here today to bear witness. My Martial Dynasty is about to select a crown prince to inherit the throne of the next Saint Emperor.”

“According to our ancestral precepts, the succession to the throne of our Wu Dynasty is based on ability, regardless of age. Princes and princesses are all included. If you are capable, you can take the throne of the Holy Emperor.”

“Talent, bloodline, ability, everyone can see it.”

“And the most important thing is strength! Today’s arena was built for this reason!”

“Come and fight for it! This has always been the tradition of our Wu Dynasty. If you want the position of crown prince, you can take it with your cultivation!”

After hearing the words of Emperor Wu Sheng, all the princes and princesses who wanted to seize the throne had red eyes, as if the next moment, the position of crown prince would be theirs.

But he soon calmed down.

Everyone is not a fool. They see the two people who could be the biggest obstacles in the field.

One is Lin Ye and the other is Lin Yu.

There were actually two outsiders who came to the position of crown prince of the Wu Dynasty, and they were the two most crucial ones. It was such a joke!
