Chapter 792: Chapter 7: Earthshaker Flying Sword, Wrath of Thunder (6000+)_3
From the beginning, the Eldest Prince considered Prince Li as his target. If he could become a Martial Saint, the selection for the throne would be beyond any doubt!
However, having cultivated to this point, even with his confidence, the Eldest Prince did not think he could reach the Martial Saint Realm before the current Emperor passes away peacefully.
So, relying solely on cultivation is not enough to compete for the throne.
“Back then, the Grand Ancestor also achieved greatness late. Your Highness has stored energy and is ready to release it. Within ten years, you will surely become a Martial Arts Master! If by then… you could have the Emperor’s Dragon Qi, breaking through to become a Great Grandmaster will be a natural progression, and ultimately you may have a chance to reach the peak!”
Yuan Xin added another sentence.
Having followed the Eldest Prince for years, he was truly a confidant, which allowed him to speak with relatively fewer concerns.
The Eldest Prince’s expression eased slightly.
Such an assumption is indeed the most perfect!
Only, it’s merely an assumption.
“Ten years is too long. I’m afraid my two brothers won’t give me ten years.”
The Eldest Prince shook his head.
These words caused Yuan Xin’s expression to change.
Because what the Eldest Prince was saying was that within ten years, the current competition among the princes for the throne would come to a conclusion!
“If I had known that Li Fei could achieve the current situation back then, I would never have chosen that way at that time.”
The Eldest Prince took a breath and suddenly said.
This was the real reason for his distressed mood.
Initially, he targeted Li Fei to win over the Lu Family, this colossal entity, and Xu Jing, the Great Grandmaster and University President.
At that time, although Li Fei already had the greatest record in history, compared to the Lu Family and Xu Jing, he still seemed too insignificant.
But the Eldest Prince did not expect Li Fei could step by step reach today’s heights.
If he had known this earlier, he would never have made such a choice!
Yuan Xin, standing by, was silent upon hearing this.
For someone as proud as the Eldest Prince to personally express regret, it shows the significant psychological impact Li Fei had on him!
“The Crown Prince’s luck is truly extraordinary, you have to admit it.”
The Eldest Prince shook his head and sneered.
Born as the Crown Prince, casually winning over a genius, and it turned out to be the greatest hero in history!
What other explanation is there except saying that the other’s luck was good?
“Your Highness, the telegram from Feng Province.”
A subordinate suddenly ran into the Martial Arts Training Ground.
The Eldest Prince extended his hand.
He took the telegram, glanced at it, and immediately showed a happy expression:
Yuan Xin, standing by, curiously asked, “Your Highness, what happened?”
The Eldest Prince glanced at him, and he immediately understood, using Force to seal the surroundings to prevent the sound from leaking out and to prevent eavesdropping.
“A telegram from Lu Wenzheng saying that Qi Ming of the New Heaven Association intends to kill Li Fei!”
The Eldest Prince said.
“Because as long as Li Fei remains alive, Qi Ming runs the risk of being exposed and perhaps could be discovered by the State Preceptor following the clues.”
“Truly heaven-sent help!”
The Eldest Prince smiled.
He, along with the Lu Family and Xu Jing, wanted to deal with Li Fei but couldn’t employ the forces on the surface.
And their covert power wasn’t enough to kill the current Li Fei.
Now, they have an additional New Heaven Association and a True Monarch intent on killing Li Fei, expanding their operational space significantly.
The Eldest Prince strode out of the Martial Arts Training Ground, intending to immediately contact Lu Wenzheng.
Three days after the Grand Imperial Assembly.
Li Fei stepped into the headquarters of the Monitoring Pavilion.
He quickly reached the entrance of the headquarters dungeon.
“Greetings, Marquis.”
The official guarding the dungeon entrance hurriedly bowed to Li Fei.
Li Fei said as he took out the newly obtained cabinet official’s token.
“Yes.” Original content can be found at NoveI★Fire.net
The other party immediately opened the door to let him through.
Passing through layers of guards, Li Fei arrived at the third level of the dungeon and stopped outside a cell deep inside.
He Jian was already waiting here in advance.
Upon seeing Li Fei, He Jian nodded and, without saying more, directly opened the cell door.
Inside the cell was Qi Jin, who previously used the ‘Star Entering Life Technique’ on Li Fei.
“Repeat to me what you told him!”
Li Fei looked coldly at Qi Jin and said sternly.
At this time, Qi Jin was already in an inhuman state, obviously having been tortured.
He lay on the ground, his eyes somewhat dazed, showing no response to Li Fei’s words.
Seeing this, Li Fei reached out and cast a green light on Qi Jin.
After the green light entered his body, Qi Jin’s spirit was invigorated, his injuries healed at a visible speed, and his condition improved significantly.
This was Li Fei using the core-level Extraordinary Ability ‘Divine’ on him.
Li Fei continued asking.
Qi Jin sat up from the ground, a sorrowful smile on his face:
“Back then, your master Hao Yi failed in his breakthrough because he was under my Star Entering Life Technique and was secretly interfered with by me, which led to his failure.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent filled the cell!
In a flash, his feet left the ground, and he was lifted by his neck single-handedly by Li Fei.
“Who instructed you?”
“It was… someone from the Lu Family found me and provided me with the Star Stone.”
Qi Jin’s face turned red as he spoke with difficulty.
He Jian stepped forward, patted Li Fei’s arm.
Li Fei threw Qi Jin down and turned to look at He Jian.
So He Jian simply recounted the events of the past:
Thirty-nine years ago, Hao Yi caused a series of disturbances in the Datong Prefecture, ultimately pointing the finger at the then Garrison Commander of Datong Prefecture.
At that time, Wu’an University did not exist, and nearly half of Feng Province was under the control of the Lu Family.
The then Garrison Commander of Datong Prefecture had secretly defected to the Lu Family, so when it was decided to deal with Hao Yi, he sought help from the Lu Family.
