1895: We also must participate (1/2)
“This matter concerning the royal family was kept a secret. Relevant written records mentioned it without going into detail. They only say that at that time, there were seven princes participating in that fight. With the Eastern Sky King still in the prime of his life, the seven princes’ matter was finally ended with nothing definite happening. However, the first prince, third prince, fifth prince, sixth prince, and seventh prince didn’t appear after that, and it was even more rare to have someone mention them again.”
“Only the second prince and the fourth prince still have news disseminated about them.”
“That second prince continuously assisted the Eastern Sky King in the Imperial Court, so information coming in about him is never interrupted. As for the fourth prince, it is said that he took the initiative to withdraw. Roughly eleven thousand years ago, the fourth prince’s information stopped appearing to be disseminated.”
“This eleven thousand year time limit and Bai Chen’s first time establishing the House of Chaotic Storms in the Lower Worlds more or less match up. This can’t help but attract wild and fanciful thoughts.”
“Or possibly, I should say it this way. Bai Chen, without a doubt, is one of the Eastern Sky King’s princes. This identity is definite. But, which number prince is he? According to the currently available resources I’ve looked at, there’s a very big chance that Bai Chen is precisely that fourth prince who took the initiative to withdraw.”
“At that time, he precisely withdrew from the internal disputes of the royal family and left for the Lower Worlds, visiting for the matter of the chaotic storms.”
“The only thing is… when he was still at the Eastern Sky, the strength of his subordinates must be strong, but how strong is an unsolved mystery!”
Jun Yinglian listened up until there, but suddenly interrupted to say, “Regardless of how much manpower he had at that time, compared to right now’s House of Chaotic Storms, the strength nevertheless must be more formidable, right? After all, he is a Sky Prince, his team shouldn’t be at the bottom.”
“Perhaps, Young Master Bai’s true base of inner strength is just here.”
Chi Huo pondered for a long time, and at last stated.
“Did he not have sufficient trump cards in hand, with Bai Chen’s temperament, he absolutely wouldn’t play around like this, play this fiercely, win in this extreme way.”
“If we compare our currently available strength with the House of Chaotic Storms’ exposed current strength, would we end in victory or defeat?” Jun Yinglian asked.
“Right now for our Undead Stage cultivators, outside of the ten of us here, we only have Qiu Luo, the Seven Star Battle Generals, as well as six of the twelve Hall Owners who have arrived at the Undead Stage. The rest, including the White Dragon and Black Ghost Kings all have yet to reach this realm…”
Ye Xiao muttered to himself, saying, “However… I can assert, our battle strength right now is already above the level of the House of Chaotic Storms’.”
“At least, the publicly seen strength.”
Ye Xiao emphasized ‘publicly seen’ these two words.
“That also precisely says, if we add in Young Master Bai’s mysterious trump cards we discussed, our side’s battle strength is by far still insufficient!” Jun Yinglian sighed.
“Yes, indeed it is insufficient by far.” Ye Xiao wrinkled his brows tight. “The current chaotic situation, although it’s seemingly unrelated to and uninvolved with us, we still must go participate in it. Only by participating in this big battle can we be capable of receiving many more opportunities to strengthen ourselves. By the time we directly strive with Bai Chen, we must possess the strength to contend with him!”
“But when we enter the ranks, we have to indicate our position. Right now, it certainly seems like our only option is to stand with the Ye Family forces’ side…” Xuan Bing said, furrowing her brows.
“Bing’er, you’ve thought wrong. In the same circumstances you have mentioned, our side’s current position right now is actually unique, and we don’t have a required position to indicate ourselves in. It seems like we follow the Seven Lotus family clans very closely, but our relationship with the Glaze Sky’s Dragon and Phoenix pair of kings is also quite intimate. Furthermore, with little Yue’er’s relationship, we also have a relationship with the Eastern Sky, and we even have Ling Wuxie’s relationship, allowing us to pull on the Free and Unfettered King!”
