'You better cancel the formation soon or you'll be exhausted. Even though it's channeling the power of the world, it's still connected to you and naturally will use your dragon power within your body.'
'Ah.'
Lin Xiao waved his hand and the flow of time returned to normal. At the same time, he felt a sudden pain on his head as if something dull hit it. Furrowing his brows, Lin Xiao swiftly asked Lin Hu.
'Did I feel pain because of the formation?'
'More or less. Don't worry, your dragon power will recover in time but it'll be better if you don't use the formation for the time being.' Lin Hu looked at Lin Xiao and only shook his large head.
Even though he wanted to tell Lin Xiao more about it, he didn't think that this young man would understand. Besides, it was better for Lin Xiao to not think too much about it.
'There's a limit?'
'Do you really think that you'll be able to use the formation without any limit? It's consuming your dragon power just like formation is consuming its maker mental energy.'
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Hu but he didn't bother with the dragon anymore.
"Let's go out and head to the capital city."
"Alright."
"Do you need to adjust your power first?" Prince Lan Xian pointed at Lin Xiao since Lin Xiao hadn't tested his power at his new rank.
"There's no need. I have better tester out there."
Prince Lin Xian: "…" if Prince Lin Bo Wang knew that he was treated as a tester by Lin Xiao, who knew what that young man would think.
Swish!
They all disappeared from their place and reappeared outside the inheritance ground. Princess Lan Yi Hua glanced in the direction where Princess Lan Xiao Yue was located at and found the young girl was still there, in her tattered dress that barely cover anything. She turned away without caring for the other person.
"Shall we head into the town?"
"Sure."
They all sped up to the town. Those who saw them involuntary stepped back without any intention to fight them. Just seeing them appearing much stronger from the inheritance ground had already made them unwilling to even cross their path.
And the fact that they were back to their peak after spending just two to three hours inside the inheritance ground had made them perplexed.
What kind of treasure was within the inheritance ground?
"Sun Kingdom Capital City." Lin Xiao told his destination to the man who guarded the teleportation runes after paying the fee.
The man nodded and then activated the circle, sending them all to their destination.
Swish!
"Hmm?" Lin Xiao could already sense the faint sense of blood and the thick pressure just as he arrived in the capital city. His eyes were directed towards the direction of the palace as he pursed his lips.
Taking out his communication jade, Lin Xiao contacted Han Jiang. "Han Jiang, now."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"What did you order him to do?" Prince Lin Xian asked curiously.
"Something important." Lin Xiao pointed to the palace and smiled faintly. "Shall we check what's going on there?"
"Ok."
Walking towards the palace, they noticed that the people who usually did their activities on the street all had returned back to their homes. After all, they were all also feeling unwilling to get involved in the matter of the Royal Family.
No one wanted to lose their lives yet.
The road to the palace was quiet but the smell of blood was getting thicker and thicker. Lin Xiao had noticed that there were so many people who had died just from the smell that was gradually become even more unbearable.
"I can't believe that so many people die just for the throne…" Lin Yun murmured. His eyes were fixated at the gate where even the two guards had already lost their lives.
Fan Ling sighed. "From the moment they decided to participate in this battle, they're basically putting their lives on the line. There will be only one winner in the end and those who didn't want to follow that person will have to die."
There was no exception.
Because of that, those who were ambitious will try to get closer to the candidates who they thought will win. That way, they would be able to secure their position and probably got into more important position in the future.
On the other hand, those who wanted to play it safe will stay behind and not try to do anything weird. They would just follow the person who finally took the throne so that they could avoid the bloodbath.
Both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages and it was up to them to determine which one was more suitable for them.
"Let's go inside."
The sound of fighting was faint but Lin Xiao still could hear it from the main hall. It seemed that he came at the right time, which was the time when the battle was not over yet but it had already lasted for a long time.
Walking into the hall, the sight of bloody mess greeted the group. Fan Ling sucked in deep breath at the devastating scene before her as she held herself back to make sure that she would not faint. It was so cruel.
There were so many body parts thrown here and there. The once glorious hall in the palace was now filled with pieces of flesh and blood.
Only a group of people were still standing there with their weapon in their hand.
"Ah, you've finally arrived, Lin Xiao."
The sound of the greeting only made goosebumps on their back. Lin Xiao's gaze landed on the figure at the middle, Prince Lin Bo Wang. Right now, Prince Lin Bo Wang's figure was completely soaked in blood while a familiar body had fallen right beside his legs, Prince Lin Hong
Lin Xiao nodded. "You seems to be confident that I'll come here."
"It'll be great if you died in the hand of that Hua Lan Kingdom Emperor." Prince Lin Bo Wang shrugged as he swung his bloodied sword. "But since you managed to survive, didn't it mean that I just need to finish you off?"
