Chapter 82 The Fourth Prince’s Lofty Ambition

That was an animal hide page . There were countless symbols drawn into the page . They didn’t seem exactly like words, but they weren’t exactly not .

“You can communicate with the barbarian tribes?” The white-robed man asked with astonishment .

The barbarian tribes were precisely called ‘barbarian’ because they lived just like wild beasts . But they had their own crude culture and language .

These ugly symbols were precisely the barbarian tribes’ script . Many people had seen that script before, but they had no idea how to read them . It was completely unexpected for the fourth prince to be able to .

“One’s full effort must be invested into achieving one’s goals for there to be profit .

Ever since I was young, I could see through my own destiny . At that time I had already started gathering the bargaining chips that would change my destiny .

I sent countless people to the barbarian tribes in order to try joining them, but they only treated those people as food . But there are always exceptions in this world . One person was actually accepted into the barbarian tribes . Then I started to gradually gain a connection to the barbarian tribes’ power .

While fulfilling our missions, my mother and I also raised our own power . To tell the truth, three years ago I already had the power to help you seize the Phoenix Cry Empirewithout the slightest drop of blood, but that wouldn’t have brought me even the slightest benefits . ”

The white-robed man nodded . “Continue . ”

“So in order to handle Long Tianxiao, I purposely stopped supplying him reinforcements . I also secretly drew the poor people in the vicinity towards Long Tianxiao’s army . I raised Long Tianxiao’s prestige in secret, letting everyone think he was a G.o.d who would protect them . I know what kind of person Long Tianxiao is . He definitely wouldn’t sacrifice the lives of those commoners . ” The fourth prince indifferently raised his teacup and took a sip .

“Chu Xia, you really are talented . ” That was the first time the white-robed man praised the fourth prince .

It could be said that the fourth prince’s move had been exceptionally brilliant . He had used the lives of the ordinary commoners to effortlessly lock Long Tianxiao in place .

Most importantly, that was a ploy without a solution . Even if Long Tianxiao understood it, he was helpless . He was unable to ignore the lives of millions of commoners .

Such a simple scheme had kept Long Tianxiao permanently locked at the border . Even the white-robed man felt a bit of admiration .

“Unfortunately those barbarian tribes truly did cause me disappointment . I secretly sent them so much a.s.sistance in terms of food and supplies, but they are still only just able to fight on the same level as Long Tianxiao . So they ended up in a permanent battle of attrition . But I suppose that is all that can be expected from those uncivilized barbarians . ” The fourth prince shook his head .

The white-robed man pondered for a moment before asking, “I want to know, just what is Long Chen’s current condition?”

“He should already be dead . If my calculations are correct, his head should be en route back to the capital . That Long Chen really is an oddity . But I’m not someone who likes the unexpected, so I sent Ying Hou over . I trust that you know Ying Hou’s power . ”

The white-robed man’s expression changed slightly . “I know of him . His cultivation base can count as not bad . But using him to handle a small Qi Condensation cultivator is making a bit too big of a fuss for a minor nuisance . ”

The fourth prince’s expression didn’t change . But hearing what he said, it seemed that even the Muscle Rebirth realm Ying Hou wasn’t even placed into his eyes .

From that, it could be seen that this young man whose age didn’t seem that different from his own had to possess an extremely terrifying strength . The fourth prince’s guard went up even higher .

“Haha, I’ve already said I’m a cautious person . I won’t do anything I’m not sure of . It’s just like how I used Long Chen to kill that idiot Xia Changfeng this time . ”

The white-robed man nodded . “You really are much better than Xia Changfeng . I can overlook Xia Changfeng’s death and also accomplish your wish . However, if you end up being worse than Xia Changfeng, I can tell you very clearly that even your own death will become something you are unable to control . ”

The white-robed man’s gentle manner of speaking became dark, and a strange aura filled the air .

The fourth prince ignored his threat . “Don’t worry; I’ve endured patiently for many years just for this chance . I treasure this opportunity even more than you . ”

“Then good . With Long Chen dead now, I need to know what your plan is for later . ”

Although he didn’t underestimate Long Chen, but in front of a Muscle Rebirth expert, Long Chen would definitely not even have the slightest chance of surviving .

“Ying Zhao will bring his head back to the capital as well as a recording of Long Chen killing Xia Changfeng . Then I will need you to communicate with the Grand Xia and get them to send out their elite army to surround the capital . At that time, I will call back Ying Hou and Wu Hou here . The Grand Xia will demand us to hand over the murderer, and in order for both empires to stay friends, I can offer up every person in the Long household in a justifiable manner . I fact, I can kill all of them at a suitable time,” explained the fourth prince .

“What do you mean by a suitable time? And furthermore, when you say ‘them’, it seems you aren’t just talking about the Long household?” lightly asked the white-robed man .
