Chapter 834: Chapter 752: Song Xiuqi’s Strength (2)

The Eldest Prince saw the backs of the two leaving, gritting his teeth in anger.

He couldn’t quite understand, why, why his sister was able to gain the support of Song Xiuqi.

Turning back to look at the followers he had gathered, his expression turned more gloomy.

The people the Eldest Prince brought, among the younger generation in the Great Yu Country, were definitely considered the top tier.

In the power struggles among various factions, it’s impossible to send the mainstays of the family to the forefront.

Showing themselves, contending and competing, these matters are always left to the younger generation.

This is considered an unspoken rule.

When elders take action and fight, it also easily complicates matters.

The Eldest Princess indeed adhered to this unspoken rule as well.

But the young people she brought, how were others to compare...

Although the Great Yu Country could make contact with upper-rank sects like Meihua Tower.

The main reason was the richness of the resources within its land.

It’s not because the Great Yu Country had many top-notch genius disciples.

Frowning, the Eldest Prince also left Wish Jade Palace with his people.

Behind the Second Prince, the other two still bore anxious worries on their faces.

"Your Highness, it now seems that the position of Sovereign is almost a foregone conclusion.

If we continue, it will be nothing but a futile effort.

Therefore...we should just..."

The Second Prince did not respond, just silently savoring the dishes before him.

The two bowed to the Second Prince, and then stepped away from Wish Jade Palace.

The merits of following the dragon, who wouldn’t want?

But now that the conclusion is already determined, to them, there’s not even a point in trying.

"Is there anything mysterious about this Promise Letter?"

With most people gone, Shen Han was no longer as reserved as before and inquired.

The Young Prince wore a smile, and even in such circumstances, did not show any sign of panic.

At least from this point, he still carried some regal demeanor.

The Young Prince was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Shen Han didn’t know about the Promise Letter.

However, facing Shen Han’s inquiry, he patiently explained.

The Promise Letter is equivalent to a contract, written in duplicate under the witness of a strong figure from West Mountain Tower.

Then the person who needs to keep the promise signs it, one copy is returned to West Mountain Tower, the other kept by themselves.

Upon signing the Promise Letter, one must keep the promise for life.

Anyone who breaks the promise will be severely punished and tormented by West Mountain Tower.

Of course, if one is powerful enough to resist West Mountain Tower.

The forces behind West Mountain Tower will take action.

And the forces behind them are the fifteen most powerful sects currently on the River Source Continent.

The likelihood of surviving is slim for anyone who breaks the promise they’ve made.

Hearing this, Shen Han nodded thoughtfully.

Previously, Shen Han thought the Promise Letter was incredibly mysterious, capable of retaliating against those who broke promises like an Immortal Divine Artifact.

The way it retaliates like this, it does make sense.

With no one else around, the two lingered freely in Wish Jade Palace.

In half a month, when the Ancestral Hall opens, that will be the true decider of victory or defeat.

The so-called Imperial Decree is placed in the Ancestral Hall for everyone to retrieve.

Actually, everyone understands, this is a battle, a scramble.

If the Eldest Prince’s people retrieve that Imperial Decree, then the person named to inherit the throne will undoubtedly be the Eldest Prince.

If Song Xiuqi retrieves that Imperial Decree, naturally, it would have the Eldest Princess’s name on it.

From the current perspective, it’s almost a certainty that Song Xiuqi will obtain that Imperial Decree.

In the waiting time that followed, Eunuch Ma provided some information.

Details like the location of the Imperial Decree, what it specifically looks like, he told Shen Han.

The Eldest Prince didn’t hold too much hope, it was more like trying his luck.

Shen Han and this Second Prince met, he seemed somewhat confident.

Internally, there was some doubt, something felt not quite right.

Clearly, the Eldest Prince had more chances of winning, yet he seemed to have more concerns than this Young Prince.

Shen Han even heard rumors that the Eldest Prince vaguely had intentions of giving up.

The Second Prince was much steadier, even discussing strategies with Shen Han.

This level of calmness, was it his innate imperial aura?

Keeping a little vigilant inside, staying attentive.

Of course, Shen Han wasn’t too afraid of being schemed against by the people before him.

This Great Yu Country, trying to trap him was too difficult, the gap was too wide.

As long as it doesn’t mess with his affairs, whatever schemes they employ, let them.

The country had already entered winter, and the scenery in Great Yu Country changed accordingly.

The previously golden distant view was now withered and decayed.

Today was the day to head to the Great Yu Royal Ancestral Hall.

The Rong Family Ancestral Hall was not in the Capital City, but to the east in Red Tree County.

The Rong family originally was just a poor household from a mountain village.

Red Tree County used to be just Red Tree Village.

After the Rong family ascended to prominence, their hometown naturally benefited.

The Rong Family Ancestral Hall had been expanded countless times, with many top craftsmen invited to build it.

There were many mechanisms and treacherous terrains within.

Shen Han and the Second Prince headed together to the Rong Family Ancestral Hall, along with two others.

They were probably helpers the Second Prince had spent some effort to hire.

Shen Han didn’t mind, as long as after success, the qualification to go to the Immortal’s Residence was given to him, nothing else mattered.

By the time they reached the Rong Family Ancestral Hall, it was already Noon on the second day.

Outside the Ancestral Hall, Great Yu Country’s Old Monarch was already waiting.

Beside the Old Monarch, besides Si Xuan from the other day, there was also a strong figure from Meihua Tower.

Judging by the Old Monarch’s attitude toward him, this person seemed to hold a high status within Meihua Tower.

After everyone arrived, the Eldest Princess and the Eldest Prince finally arrived late.

Seeing the strong figure from Meihua Tower, Song Xiuqi seemed to recognize him and went over to greet him.

"It’s good to have you back, it’s good to have you back.

Your uncles were somewhat relieved upon hearing you’ve returned."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Song Xiuqi returned to the side of the Eldest Princess.

This move seemed to again put pressure on others.

For Song Xiuqi to casually converse with such a powerful figure, combined with his fame from Cangqiong Manor, who would dare provoke him...

Shen Han looked at the group behind the Eldest Prince, noticing they seemed to have changed.

The people who had previously accompanied him to Wish Jade Palace were all frightened by Song Xiuqi.

Fearful of losing their lives, they probably didn’t even dare to go.

"The hour of 1:00 PM has arrived, those of you, go into the Ancestral Hall to search for the Imperial Decree.

However, all the items within the Ancestral Hall were left by our ancestors, don’t damage these ancient relics."

The Old Monarch spoke softly, mentioning the matter, and then said no more.

In the eyes of the commoners, the sovereign of a nation is absolute in his words.

Whatever he wishes to do, he can do.

But in truth, unless he is an extraordinarily powerful sovereign, single-handedly capable of intimidating all of Great Yu with his might.

Otherwise, being sovereign isn’t that easy.

On the River Source Continent, how many sovereigns have died before their time?

Not to mention, the Rong family itself had to overthrow the previous dynasty to ascend to the throne.

If one doesn’t balance the powers within the country well, if they can’t grasp that power in their hand, being sovereign is nothing more than an empty title.

Today’s unnecessary act is merely to silence Great Yu’s various factions.

Declaring entry allowed, the Eldest Prince, the Eldest Princess, and the Second Prince advanced to offer incense to the ancestral tablets.

After offering incense, several imperial heirs nodded, and a group immediately headed for the Ancestral Hall.

However, as they just stepped into the Ancestral Hall, the leader was immediately flung out.

His body covered in blood, he rolled far before coming to a stop.

"You people, stay outside, one more step forward, and your lives will be in peril."

As the words fell, suddenly someone else rushed inwards.

This time, several people dispersed and moved into the Ancestral Hall.

The Eldest Prince had already anticipated Song Xiuqi’s threat.

Thus, within half a month, he directly recruited death warriors.

These individuals ingested poison, doomed to die, seeking only financial security for their families, and were thus fearless.

Shen Han also didn’t hesitate, stepping into the Ancestral Hall.

This scene caught the Eldest Princess by surprise.

Shen Han had already seen Song Xiuqi’s strength with that previous move, Spirit God Realm Peak.

Equivalent to around the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm.

But it was clear he was very close to Fifth Grade.

Among the younger generation, indeed quite noteworthy.

However, compared to himself, still far off.
