Chapter 252 Conflict (2)
The prince was indignant. The other party had touched his sore spot. Originally, he also believed that his father was the emperor's most beloved son and would definitely ascend the throne in the future. But everything had changed. His father had been demoted, his status and position were very different, and even his assets had decreased significantly. The same was true for his status as the prince.
Recently, he has witnessed too much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships. Those who used to fawn over them have now distanced themselves from them, fearing that they will be purged by the Crown Prince in the future. Now, Gu Yuchuan has touched his sore spot. How can he bear it?
He instinctively wanted to continue bidding, but the guard beside him reminded him: "Your Highness, things are not what they used to be. The spirit stones you can mobilize are only about 20,000. I don't recommend that you continue bidding."
This guard was a powerful cultivator at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage, and also the strongest protector by the prince's side. He was of noble status, and even the prince could not easily refute his words. But the prince was unwilling to accept this.
"Uncle, I can't swallow this insult. How can we just ignore such a blatant insult to our royal family and to my father? What face will our royal family have left? We may be weaker than before, but my father is still a genuine Nascent Soul stage expert. He cannot be insulted like this. Please lend me some spirit stones. I will pay you back when I get back."
However, to the prince's surprise, even after he had gone to such lengths, the other party still disagreed.
“Your Highness, if you come across something you truly need, I will buy it for you without you even having to ask. I am your head guard, and naturally I am responsible for you. However, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this just to spite someone else.”
Actually, he was just trying to help the prince, but the prince was overwhelmed by his emotions and couldn't understand it at all. He was just angry and didn't even think before he spoke.
"Even you are not listening to me, the young master?"
His words truly hurt the head guard's feelings. The man had watched him grow up, and if it weren't for that bond, why would he have protected him so closely? He could have been an official in the Prince's mansion long ago. At that moment, his face turned very ugly.
The prince knew he had spoken rudely, but he didn't want to apologize. He felt that they were both at fault.
Gu Yuchuan was unaware that the situation on the other side was not right, and he was still provoking the other party: "Hey, Prince, why don't you continue bidding? Is your Prince Zhao's mansion really declining? You, a dignified prince, can't even come up with 20,000? Isn't that too embarrassing? Or is your father grooming another son and looking down on you?"
Because of his enmity with Prince Zhao, Gu Yuchuan's words were extremely harsh. Since they were already enemies, there was no need to give him any face. The prince was so angry that white smoke was rising from his head. He was about to say something, but was stopped by the head guard.
"Your Highness, please stop. Saying anything now would only make things more embarrassing. I can promise you. Once we get out, we'll ambush him. I just sensed that he's only at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage. I'm a sixth-level Golden Core cultivator; killing him is more than enough for me. As for how we torture him, that's entirely up to you."
This finally appeased the young master: "Thank you, Uncle. I was being rude just now. I was just so angry with the other person that I lost my temper. Please don't take it to heart, Uncle."
The head guard nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I've watched you grow up, and I know your personality very well. How could I hold a grudge against you? I won't stand idly by after such humiliation. I will definitely avenge you."
They didn't say another word, and the essence blood was captured by the Xuan Turtle Demon General.
“Brother, when we go back, there will probably be a battle. I already have a grudge against the Prince Zhao’s mansion. Now, with both old and new grudges, they won’t let it go easily, and neither will I. When the battle starts, you will be in charge of their Foundation Establishment cultivators. No matter how many Golden Core cultivators there are, I will trap them in my magic treasure.”
The Xuan Turtle Demon General's expression also became much more solemn: "Alright, Third Brother, it's been a long time since we fought side by side. I won't be a burden to you, don't worry. As fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators, I'm not afraid of anyone. Although I'm not a Di Sha Dao Foundation cultivator, I am still a Zi Fu Dao Foundation cultivator."
For the rest of the journey, the two were somewhat distracted, both thinking about the upcoming battle. Finally, it was over, and their opponent had left first. The two exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning; their opponent had decided to ambush them. However, neither of them was afraid. It was still up to them to see whose methods were more powerful.
After they went outside, they took out their flying boat and started heading back. Gu Yuchuan even thoughtfully slowed down a bit to make it easier for the other side to catch up, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing if they couldn't catch up.
The head guard's face turned very ugly, and he did not immediately give chase.
"Your Highness, I recognize this prodigy. He is the Azure Dragon Demon King, the second greatest genius in the world."
The prince's voice grew louder: "What? That fiend who opposed our royal family, it was because of him that our royal family fell so quickly. We will kill him today, for both old and new grudges."
The head guard's expression was off: "Your Highness, but I'm not confident I can take him down."
The young master looked at the other party in disbelief: "Uncle, although he is a prodigy, you are two minor realms higher than him. He is at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage, and you are at the sixth level. How long has he been promoted? Even if he is a prodigy, has he mastered any supernatural powers? Does he have a natal magic weapon? These are all uncertain. These things require a lot of time. Even if he is a prodigy, he cannot be ignored. Uncle, taking him down will be very easy."
His thinking was very clear, and the head guard was also tempted. Indeed, the other party's cultivation level had improved rapidly, and there were some things that were definitely not enough. He could really defeat him.
They're not wrong. Without the cheat, Gu Yuchuan would definitely have significant weaknesses, whether it's magical artifacts or magical abilities. But he has the cheat, so these aren't his weaknesses; they're actually his trump cards and core strengths.
In the end, they still chose to take action. They followed from a distance, preparing to find a secluded place to strike.
However, Gu Yuchuan had already discovered this. With the help of the flying boat, his vigilance range was much larger, and the other party could not hide at all. Now, on the surface, they were in the open, while the other party was in the dark. In reality, everyone knew the other party's location, and whoever made the first move would be in a weaker position.
Both sides gradually became tense. Soon, the airship had reached a desolate location with few people around, and a great battle was about to break out.
