Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 443: A Deal (1)

Lin Hu knew what Lin Xiao was thinking and snorted once more. "If I had told this to you when you’re such a weakling, do you really think that you can survive? The goal will be too far etched for you to even dream of getting."

"You damn dragon! What else do you want to say? I have to be the Emperor of the entire continent?" Lin Xiao roared in annoyance.

"Yes."

"$%^&*()_!"

Right now, Lin Xiao really considered whether a roast dragon would be delicious or not. It seemed to be far better to just roast Lin Hu right here, right now.

Knock! Knock!

A series of knocks disturbed Lin Xiao’s thinking. He glanced outside. "Yes?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Fu Liang from Jade Snow Kingdom is here." An attendant was the one who told Lin Xiao.

"Lead him to the hall."

Lin Xiao changed his clothes and hid his Qi. Right now, he was already 22 years old but his mental age was 2 years older thanks to the training he had in the Phoenix Inheritance Ground.

It didn’t take long for him to arrive. Prince Fu Liang was still the same as before. If one didn’t know better, they would think of him as a princess. The prince turned his head around to look at Lin Xiao and his pupil dilated slightly.

"Your Ma3jesty, congratulations."

"I should say the same to you." Lin Xiao could also notice that Prince Fu Liang was already at Golden Core Stage 3. He began to wonder whether it was actually very easy to make breakthrough to Golden Core Stage 3 now.

Prince Fu Liang let out a faint laugh. "Now that you’re already the Emperor, I think that we can proceed with the deal we have before."

"Does Jade Snow Kingdom have any objection?" Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows.

"Sun Kingdom and Hua Lan Kingdom are already allies. Or should I say that... Sun Kingdom is already annexing Hua Lan Kingdom?" Prince Fu Liang’s eyes narrowed.

Just a few days ago, the annexing process was done. Princess Lan Yi Hua was staying in Hua Lan Kingdom to make it part of Sun Kingdom. She would return soon since the process was done and some other princes are the one who took care of it.

After killing Hua Lan Kingdom Emperor, Hua Lan Kingdom fell into chaos. Those who used to support Princess Lan Xiao Yue were all kicked out of the kingdom by Lan Yi Hua as she declared that the kingdom was now under Sun Kingdom.

As for Princess Lan Xiao Yue, she disappeared after that humiliating incident and probably will not appear ever again.

Besides, she could no longer cultivate normally anymore.

By the time they had time to care about that princess, she had disappeared from that cage of ice and fire. Lin Xiao didn’t know where she had gone and didn’t have any time to care for her.

He chose to let the matter rest for the time being.

"You’re free to think whatever you want." Lin Xiao smiled back.

Prince Fu Liang snorted. He took out a scroll and tossed it to Lin Xiao. "That’s the location of the two restriction pillars in Sun Kingdom and Hua Lan Kingdom. It’s up to you how you want to disable it but once the pillars are gone, Jade Snow Kingdom will be yours."

"Do you think I’m stupid, Prince Fu Liang?" Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows and looked at Prince Fu Liang. "Why should I help you when you’re only giving an empty promise?"

Who would know what would happen when the restriction was finally lifted? There were a lot of Golden Core Stage 3 cultivators in Jade Snow Kingdom and if Lin Xiao didn’t deal with them first, things would be bad.

"You..."

"Show your sincerity first and I will consider it. If not, I don’t mind modifying the restriction instead just for Sun Kingdom." Lin Xiao smiled.

Prince Fu Liang furrowed his brows but he stood up and cupped his hand. "In that case, we shall meet again soon."

"I won’t see you off."

Lin Xiao didn’t even bother to care about Prince Fu Liang. He might be young but he was not a naïve idiot. Once the restriction was lifted, there would be a lot of people who made their breakthrough.

If Sun Kingdom was not stronger than Jade Snow Kingdom, wouldn’t it mean that they would be put in predicament?

He wanted to avoid it.

"Xia Ye."

Swish!

A figure appeared from the darkness and Xia Ye figure stood there. After the unfortunate incident where he bet with everything to kill the previous Emperor, he had grown calmer. Back then, Xia Ye used the destruction power of fire element that Lin Xiao had.

In fact, it was something that Lin Hu absorbed but couldn’t use, so he put the power into a sphere and gave it to Xia Ye. It was to be used by the young man to kill the previous Emperor.

Thanks to Xia Ye’s innate ability to hide within the shadow, he managed to survive the blast. However, it took him a long time before he could return back to prim health. It was also thanks to Lin Xiao healing him that he managed to survive.

Right now, his cultivation had also soared.

It seemed that his talent was always very good but it was because he had been suppressed by his hatred that he couldn’t advance. Xia Ye was already at Golden Core Stage 2, just one stage below Lin Xiao and it didn’t seem that it would take a long time for him to reach Stage 3.

Most of the time, Xia Ye would be following Lin Xiao like a shadow. After all, he didn’t have much work to do aside from training and protecting Lin Xiao.

"Follow Fu Liang and find out what they’re up to." Lin Xiao looked at the content of the scroll and smiled faintly. "If possible, rope them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Within a moment, Xia Ye had disappeared.
