Chapter 909: Show End; Ethereal’s Legacy!
Despair took over the First Prince’s heart as Ling Huang’s hand closed toward him. The other princes urgently leaped over, but the distance rendered their actions futile…
However, the attack that was supposed to take the First Prince’s life suddenly turned into a breeze, and when he opened his eyes, Ling Huang was nowhere to be seen. Not only that, the supposedly injured Third Prince and Sixth Prince were standing next to him, completely well. Including the Fourth and Eighth Prince, all of them looked vacant in confusion.
“Big Brother, you’re… alright?”
“Third Brother, Sixth Brother, you guys are alright?!!”
“…”
Yelped the five almost at the same time after returning to their senses. From their words, they had all seen each other in a dying state.
After talking for a while, they found out from each other that the person who attacked them was the same, but what they had experienced was different!
Was it Ling Huang who did that? But why did he go to such trouble? If he had that skill, he could just slaughter the whole city and seize the throne directly!
Moreover, in the impression of the princes, Ling Huang wasn’t the kind of person who would show mercy at all.
The princes were so lost in thought that they forgot what they were here for until the emperor on the throne slowly opened his mouth.
“You all have performed very well.”
The emperor’s booming voice, like thunder out of the blue and not that of a dying man at all, woke up the five princes.
“Imperial Father!”
They knelt down in unison, their faces full of delight after realizing that everyone was still alive and well. They thought that they would never be able to live and talk to each other again.
“Although this is not quite what I expected, it’s obvious that this is the best result. What do you five think?” asked the emperor slowly.
The five brothers looked at each other and laughed.
“Nothing is impossible when us brothers are united. After what just happened, I’ve realized that the throne is but an identity, compared with which, I care more about the safety of my loved ones,” said the First Prince.
His brothers immediately agreed.
“I’m still too young. Compared with my brothers, I lack too much experience, so I’ve decided to withdraw from this competition and concentrate on what I should do.” The Eighth Prince smiled in relief, having realized something that many people might be blind to their whole life.
“You’re right. An empire isn’t a merchant group. My experience is far too limited. However, I’ll do my best to learn as much as I can in the future. As for this competition, I withdraw as well,” the Sixth Prince immediately followed.
The emperor kept nodding to what they said.
