Great Hong Palace, by the banks of the jade-green lake.

The snow had just started to fall and the weather was cold. A thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the lake. The withered lotus leaves were swaying in the cold wind, continuously hinting at winter's decline.

In the center of the lake, there was a small octagonal glazed pavilion. It was sparkling and translucent, even clearer and purer than crystal, completely independent.

On top of it stood a group of young men wearing the uniform of a Four-Claw Flood Dragon. They wore all kinds of flowery leather coats and had an extraordinary bearing.

The 'dragon' was the symbol of the imperial family, and the 'Four-clawed Flood Dragon' set was the clothing of the princes. They were actually the sons of the Great Sky Emperor, Hong Yu's brothers in name.

However, judging from their attire, their status and identity were much higher than Hong Yu's. At this moment, they were gathered together as if discussing some great matter.

"Father created the Divine Academy and specialized in developing and researching all kinds of new things. The small glazed pavilion that we are standing in is a little thing called 'Glass' that was created by the Divine Academy. It is indeed a masterpiece." One of the princes couldn't help but exclaim in wonder as he looked at the small pavilion made of glass in front of him.

"Hmph, these are just some strange and lecherous techniques. They're not even worth mentioning." However, royal father's divine arts are indeed peerless and his cultivation has reached an unbelievable level. He is close to becoming an ancient Sacred Emperor, a peerless Martial God who can live for tens of thousands of years. " The other prince had a disdainful look on his face when he heard this. However, when he spoke of the Great Celestial Emperor, his face immediately turned solemn.

"Hehe, a lifetime? Are you trying to make us, the sons and grandsons of the royal family, suffer to death? My poor fourth brother is called the crown prince, the king of the kingdom. He will never be able to see the day when he ascends the throne. " Another person opened his mouth as a trace of schadenfreude appeared on his face.

The few of them seemed to be jumping up and down in their speech, but in reality, they were all secretly attacking the enemy while discussing and mocking the imperial government of the Great Flood Divine Kingdom.

Seeing that the topic was getting out of hand, a man wearing a white fox fur coat suddenly shouted, "Shut up! Take a look at what you are up to, talk about the government without any warning. If this ever gets to the ears of the censor's official, then all of you are going to visit the main clan's residence."

This man was the eighth son of Celestial Emperor Hongwu, Hong Long Xiang. From the looks of it, he was the leader of the crowd with an imposing aura.

These arrogant princes and nobles of the imperial city were being scolded by the eighth prince at this moment. They acted like little children, bowing their heads and looking subservient. They didn't show any abnormality, as if it was all a matter of course.

If this scene were to be witnessed by those eunuchs and maids, who knew how many times their jaws would drop off.

Looking at the 'obedient' looks of the crowd, the eighth prince's expression calmed down a bit, and his tone softened, "I am not trying to be angry, but you guys are too impudent. The crown prince's' Golden Crow's Burning Sun Art 'has already reached the stage where he can transform into the Golden Crow, and in the spring of next year, he can cross the world, cross the sky, reach the sun, borrow the spring sunshine to break through to the Martial Saint realm. At that time, he will be one with the world, reborn with blood, and break through the nine thousand years limit.

"Eighth brother, according to what you said, then wouldn't we have to be men with our tails between our legs and always be one head lower than Fourth Bro? People say that saints only come out in eight hundred years, and the Martial Saint is the Saint. Legend has it that in the ancient era, hundreds of families fought over them, and those leaders of the Hundred Families were regarded as saints by the common people as well. If Fourth Bro also broke through to the Martial Saint realm, he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heaven's will and the will of the people. When a prince heard this, his face revealed a trace of worry.

For a time, almost everyone was filled with worry. They, princes, hated each other, attacked and attacked each other, and fought endlessly. If the crown prince made a breakthrough in his cultivation and truly held power, then they would all be deprived of their rights.

"Hehe, don't worry, Fourth Bro doesn't know how to hide his strength and stand at the heart of the struggle, but he doesn't know it yet. Just watch and see, there will be other princes who will not even need to fight with us, and will be fighting with him in order to stop him from breaking through.

Furthermore, the more outstanding his performance is, the more easily he will be suspected by royal father. The statuses of our princes are all bestowed upon us by royal father, if he angers royal father, he will only need to use a talisman to make him fall into the mortal realm of mortals, and the Great Sun Golden Crow will become a crow that everyone hates.

I suspect that he is only a step away from becoming a Martial God! I can't believe that my father's cultivation is already at a terrifying realm, comparable to that of an ancient Sacred Emperor. He has already reverted to the path of martial arts, and with the flow of destiny flowing through his heart, I can see that he is only one step away from reaching the Martial God realm! He will not give up power so early. The fight for power has just begun, we just need to follow his father's footsteps, if we can get his favor, why not worry about it?

Furthermore, Old Fourth has the《 Golden Crow Burning Sun Art》, which ranks seventeenth on the Martial Scripture Emperor Ranking, and my《 Raging Whale of the Sea God》 is ranked twenty-first on the Emperor Ranking, so it is not that much weaker than his. Furthermore, I can feel that my realm has also slightly loosened, and I think that after a period of accumulation, I will be able to reach the realm of the Junior Martial Saint.

The eighth prince felt that his group of brothers were in a very low mood. He had achieved his goal, yet he opened his mouth to analyze the situation, and began to boost the morale.

As if sensing the powerful aura of their leader, the group of princes started to regain their vigor, and they began to exclaim in unison, "Eighth brother's mystical skill is unrivalled, his calculations unparalleled!"

"We brothers have long since become grasshoppers on a rope. We share both good fortune and bad fortune, so there's no need to waste these useless things. If I, eighth brother, were to wield power, you would all be able to do so out of respect for your merits. However, right now, we need to work together and develop steadily.

The eighth prince, in the face of their praises, looked neither humble nor haughty. He calmly waved his hand and swept his eyes across the crowd, revealing an inconspicuous character: "29th Brother, I heard that you spread the rumor that Old Thirty-Six has always been pretending to be crazy and playing the fool, and is hiding in seclusion. What's going on?"

Earlier, in the crowd, he had been silent, and had no sense of existence at all. But now, at the eighth prince's question, everyone turned to look at him.

At this moment, he felt that his brain was somewhat still, and his entire body was trembling uncontrollably. Even his breathing had quickened by three beats. He wanted to speak, but he did not know where to start.

This was the first time he had heard of the eighth prince, and also his first time officially joining this small circle of the eighth prince. In his eyes, the eighth prince was a great character worthy of his title, and had long been conferred the title of a king by the Hongwu Heavenly Emperor.

But at this moment, the eighth prince actually affectionately called him '29th Brother'!

He only felt that the 'happiness' came too suddenly!

If Hong Yu was here and saw that arrogant and domineering twenty-ninth prince in front of him actually worried about his gains and losses because of a single look from another, he would certainly be greatly taken aback and silently curse him for not being a son of a person!

"Don't be afraid, eighth brother is asking you a question. Just say it, eighth brother is always very forgiving towards his own brother!"

Someone in the crowd seemed to have noticed the nervousness of the twenty-ninth prince, and immediately consoled him.

He tried to think of something to say for a while, and finally gained some courage. He stammered, "Eighty …" Eighth brother, I am not making this up and spreading rumors, but that kid is really scheming, he's been acting crazy all these years and hiding in seclusion, his heart can be destroyed. If I didn't want to kill his eunuch and force him to his death, he wouldn't have revealed it.

"Not only that, I saw that this person had an anxious intelligence. After killing my dog and facing my ultimate attack, he actually didn't change his expression and stated his interests, making me not dare to openly attack him."

"Oh? That idiot Old Thirty-Six, he's actually pretending? "

The eighth prince's eyes flashed as if he was calculating something, "You can now be considered as a member of our small group. If you were to be scratched by someone else, you would be disgracing my eighth brother.

I know that you are cultivating the《 Howling Firmament Moonlight True Art》, which is ranked fifty-first in the Martial Scripture Ranking, and you want to learn the Profound Truths of the Heavenly Wolf from your dog form and push this technique to the extreme. However, dogs are still dogs, even if you give them 10,000 Fasting Pills, it would be impossible for them to condense a single strand of the Heavenly Wolf Bloodline. Furthermore, your dog has already been killed by Old Thirty-Six.

However, I can grant you three drops of Ancient Heavenly Wolf's blood, so that you can awaken your Heavenly Wolf Bloodline and become an expert of the fourth level of the Mortal realm. After you obtain the Martial Arts Imprint, you can possibly awaken the inherited Martial Arts from the Ancient Heavenly Wolf Bloodline, allowing you to have unlimited possibilities. "

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and in the blink of an eye, three drops of blood shot out, appearing before the twenty-ninth prince.

The three drops of blood had actually turned into a strange, dark blue color. One could faintly see the silver shadows of vicious wolves howling within the blood, as if they were worshipping the moon in the sky as they howled towards the sky.

An ancient and mysterious aura of a wild beast instantly engulfed the entire area.

Although all the princes were experienced and knowledgeable, when they saw the three drops of blood, their eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and their minds were in turmoil.

"Eighth brother, this …"

Before the 29th Prince could finish his words, he was immediately interrupted by the old 8 Hong Long Xiang: "But, no matter what, you are the younger brother of my Hong Long Xiang. What's there to think about if your brother gives you something? I told you to keep it, so you kept it! "

His words were spoken in front of the crowd. Combined with his serious and formal expression, no one could tell if he was speaking the truth or just putting on a show.

After twenty-nine heard this, he hesitated for a while before keeping the blood. These three drops of blood seemed to be prepared for him. Or perhaps, there was no one who needed these three drops of blood more than him.

"Mm, that's more like it. Return to the manor right now and refine it, lest more unforeseen events occur." Seeing his actions, the eighth brother nodded his head in satisfaction and reminded him immediately.

The 29th Prince forcefully endured the agitation in his heart that he'd obtained a strange treasure, then he nodded, and after being filled with fear and trepidation, he withdrew.

After a long while, everyone fell into a short silence as they watched his departing back.

"Eighth brother, is it worth it?" That's three drops of Ancient Heavenly Wolf Blood! Giving it to him would be a complete waste. "

A prince suddenly spoke out the thoughts of everyone.

In their eyes, a twenty-ninth prince who didn't show the slightest bit of potential was simply unworthy of the eighth prince's favor, and they had never really considered him as one of their own.

Faced with everyone's questions, the eighth brother suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, "For him? Was he worth it for me to use three drops of Ancient Sky Wolf blood to nurture him? He was just a brainless, arrogant trash. I just wanted to use him to probe him out. It's just that I have a faint feeling that our thirty-sixth brother, who is pretending to be crazy and play dumb, isn't that simple. "

"That fool Hong Yu? Even if he was pretending to be a fool, so what? It's just a wild seed born of a musician. " A prince's face was full of disdain, "Eighth brother, if you really want to know, why don't we brothers do it on his behalf? Why waste the three drops of Heavenly Wolf's blood on that piece of trash?"

"No, you are all part of my direct line of descent. Every single move of yours is being watched by all the other powers. If you come into contact with Old Thirty-Six, you will definitely attract the attention of others." As for this playboy, 29, he had a grudge with Hong Yu. Even if he were to cause trouble for him, no one would pay him any attention.

Also, don't underestimate our thirty-sixth brother. Even if all the fine wine in the world had entered his stomach, they would still be refined and evaporated by his raging true qi in an instant. How could there be a loss of virtue after drinking wine?

As far as I know, the mother of the old thirty-six was not simple, she was the other side of the Sea of Bitterness, on the other side of the continent, a great sect named 'Buddha', who came to the continent, is just to transmit the glory of 'Buddha' to our Great Flood Divine Dynasty. The reason she entered the imperial palace of the Great Flood Dragon was to seduce our royal father, to help him spread his dao, and to establish the 'Buddha' as the national religion.

Before she died, she used a secret technique to steal one of her father's great treasures. Back then, there was a bloodbath in the palace, but in the end, she still could not find that thing. There were rumours about it being hidden on Hong Yu's body. The reason why I've played the little tricks now is to probe if he's discovered the secret of such a great treasure. "

As he spoke, the light in the eyes of the eighth brother, Hong Long Xiang's, eyes flickered as his curiosity and curiosity towards Hong Yu grew stronger and stronger.
