Chapter 780: Chapter 577: The Mysterious Prince Wang Siyun_2

At this point, Wang Yang had no choice but to admit defeat, holding the black piece and placing it onto the board.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

For a time, the only sound in the study was the pieces being placed on the board, with Wang Siyun taking the game very seriously, as solemn as a general deploying troops, his demeanor utmost serious.

Wang Yang naturally did not give Wang Siyun any quarter, pressing step by step, after all, with memories spanning the Primordial Era, a mere game of Go was hardly worth mentioning!

Clack!

After pondering for a moment, Wang Siyun placed a white piece, but as soon as it touched the board, he realized his mistake, hurriedly reached out to pick it up, intending to place it elsewhere.

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Wang Yang naturally wouldn’t give Wang Siyun the chance to take back his move, and instantly placed a black piece, directly slaughtering the large dragon shape formed by the white stones.

"Imperial Uncle, no regrets once a piece is played, you have lost!"

"Haha! Well played indeed, showing one path but taking another in secret! I accept my defeat; you may ask your question!"

Wang Siyun laughed heartily, unconcerned about the outcome of a single game of chess.

"Are you, Imperial Uncle, the hidden Saint of the Great Tang Royal Family?"

Wang Yang looked up, his gaze piercing directly at Wang Siyun, as if trying to find the answer in his eyes!

Wang Siyun chuckled softly, the laws of Chaos intertwining in his eyes, his aura suddenly changing as he spoke with an icy voice.

"You are too clever! My nephew, no, I should call you the Extraterrestrial Saint, or more precisely, the Avatar of a Saint, right?"

"You indeed are the only Saint alive in the Royal Family!"

Wang Siyun’s aura was so strong it far exceeded the celestial Immortal Realm, which further confirmed Wang Yang’s thoughts.

Word Becomes Law, while one at the celestial Immortal Realm might come to understand it, for this Square World, where Spiritual Power is scarce and the Laws incomplete, mastering such skill is extremely difficult.

Only at the Saint Realm, transcending The Great Dao, can one wield such power effortlessly.

So the only living Prince in the world was not the benevolent and righteous Emperor Wang Mingyu, nor was it the Prince who publicly claimed he could not cultivate, but the Royal Family’s guardian deity.

The Guardian Sun King.

Wang Siyun!

Wang Mingyu succeeded the throne after emerging victorious in the battle among the Nine Dragons, with all Princes butchered without exception, except for Wang Siyun who was left alive and bestowed the title of Prince, to enjoy wealth and honor.

It wasn’t that Wang Mingyu didn’t want to kill him, but rather that he couldn’t!

I fear even if all of the Imperial Clan’s power were gathered, with all celestial Immortals in action, they still could not slay a Saint!

"Avatar of a Saint, and moreover, you are incompatible with the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan like fire and water, but all of this is of no concern to me!"

"Do you take me for a three-year-old child, Imperial Uncle? If you did not wish to protect the Royal Family’s realm, why would you spend your time playing chess and chatting with me here? You want to forge an alliance with me, to eradicate the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, and even to rid this world of Demons and Ghosts, aiming for the Imperial Clan’s grand unification!"

"Speaking with a clever person really does save effort!"

Wang Siyun said noncommittally, unsurprised by Wang Yang’s astute exposure of his intentions, he instead complimented him with a remark.

"You’re not wrong, it’s not yet time for me to reveal myself, and for now, my brother far away in Luoyang is still in control. I understand that mundane imperial power means nothing to you, so today, I want to know your stance, what it is that you desire, and I will do everything in my power to assist you!"

"What I want, you cannot give, but as for dealing with the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, having an ally would not be something I’d reject, and I can even help complete your Laws, aiding you in your Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, to leap to the Ancestor of the Realm. This world shall still belong to your Royal Family!"

Wang Yang slowly stated, and Wang Siyun fell silent. He had no doubts about the truth of Wang Yang’s words; an Avatar of a Saint had no need to toy with him.

Furthermore, a Saint of this Minor World and a Saint from the primordial great world were not on the same level at all.

Even if he were an Ancestor of the Realm in this Minor World, within the primordial great world, Wang Yang could still easily annihilate him!

For the Spiritual Power in a Minor World is limited and cannot compare with that of the primordial great world, and an Ancestor birthed by such a level is nothing more than an ant in the Primordial Continent.

Living in the Saint Realm, Wang Siyun had glimpsed a thread of the celestial Secret, knowing there were worlds beyond his, and that his own Minor World was merely an inconsequential wisp of smoke within the vast Primordial Continent.

Therefore, despite the vast difference in their Realms, Wang Siyun still showed Wang Yang the utmost respect.

"I would like to know your terms!"

A moment later, Wang Siyun said somberly, knowing that whatever enticing offer Wang Yang had just made would come with a significant cost.

"I want Prince to inherit the world!"

"When it comes to governing the world, I’m no match for my brother who excels in scheming!"

"Prince is too modest! Which Imperial Prince isn’t well-versed in court politics? It’s just that you, Prince, do not wish to be involved in those cutthroat struggles!"

"Since you know my nature, why insist on this?"

Their address for each other had changed imperceptibly. Halfway through his sentence, Wang Siyun suddenly realized and seemed to understand Wang Yang’s intentions.

"Are you implying that my brother has already struck some deal with the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan and will seize the opportunity to eliminate me first?"

"The invasion of the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan will certainly not only target the Northern Territories; within Capital Luoyang, there must be powerful members of the Demon Clan hidden. Prince has already attained the Saint Realm!"

"To your brother, you are undoubtedly the greatest threat. If you wish for the reign of Great Tang to last for eternity, the Prince must die; otherwise, I fear your brother would have sleepless nights, restless with worry!"

Wang Yang analyzed calmly. Given Wang Siyun’s nature, he would surely inform Emperor Wang Mingyu of the matter regarding the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan. Yet within the Royal Family, where experts abounded, none came forward to exterminate the Demon Clan. Instead, they dispatched the Shadow Tiger Master and had Dali Temple investigate in secret, which was indeed suspicious.

The goal of the Demon Clan was not the imperial power but the primordial force of this Square World, the Power of the Heavenly Dao!

Wang Mingyu could very well make a deal with the Demon Clan to use them to remove a significant thorn from his side—Guardian Sun King Wang Siyun.

Now, the tranquility in the Capital City seemed to suggest just that.

Perhaps in The Four Territories, it was impossible to battle the Demon Clan, but Capital Luoyang, which suppressed the Fate of the world, was also the strongest battleground for the Royal Family.

Gauging the extent of the Demon Clan’s invasion, the Royal Family could completely suppress and annihilate them!

But surprisingly, Capital Luoyang remained as placid as water, without the slightest ripple!

"Are you asking me to kill my brother?"

"That’s not necessarily how it has to be said. You don’t have to act yourself, I can take action, or someone else can. All that can be discussed later. If you don’t wish to become Emperor, then train someone else, for example, Prince Wang Yun, the Second Son. He seems quite promising!"

Wang Yang, seeing Wang Siyun somewhat conflicted, did not press on any further. After all, those were issues for the future. He abruptly changed the topic, shifting the conversation to Wang Yun.

"Yun’er has indeed been nurtured by me since he was seven years old, sent to the Luoyang Imperial Academy. Whether it’s statecraft or cultivation level, he’s among the best!"

"Haha, the Prince says he’s unprepared, but perhaps I’m just too young!"

Hearing Wang Siyun’s response, Wang Yang laughed heartily. It appeared that Wang Siyun had already anticipated the situation and made preparations ahead of time.

"I’m just being cautious!"

"Good, good! It’s certainly a good thing for the Prince to be cautious. The Great Heir Wang Hao has nefarious intentions and is colluding with the Demon Clan. I presume you’re aware of this. As for the Commandery Princess, I’d like to hear your thoughts, Prince!"

"My daughter Wang Ru died a long time ago. This Commandery Princess is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Wang Siyun’s response, Wang Yang abruptly stood up. To have such close contact and yet not detect any clue—how could that be possible!

"The Nine-leaf Ice Lotus, combined with the Demon Clan Secret Arts, has already sealed the Demon Blood in ice. It’s quite normal that you didn’t notice, Prince!"

Wang Siyun grinned in triumph, explaining with a sense of satisfaction at seeing Wang Yang’s astonishment.

"So that’s how it is!"

Wang Yang had a moment of realization; no wonder he couldn’t detect any trace of Demonic Qi—the Demon Blood within her was already sealed in ice.

"It seems my decision to come here today was the right one!"

"The power of the Demon Lord Chong Ming has already receded. You can leave the Royal Palace in peace now, Prince," Wang Siyun whispered to Wang Yang, having sensed that the presence of the Demon Lord Chong Ming had vanished completely.

"Hmm! I shall take my leave today then. Having stayed too long might arouse suspicion. Don’t forget the promise you made for the next visit, Prince!"

Wang Yang nodded, glancing at the hour; it was indeed time to leave the Royal Palace.

"The story of your lineage is a long one, Prince. But when you come to visit the Royal Palace next time, don’t come empty-handed to see this Prince!"

"Certainly!"
