Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: Slaying Dragon Alliance

Magical Treasures were plentiful in Long Fei’s possession, yet all had been scattered.

The majority of women seated around him had received Magical Treasures from his hands.

Ji Wanyu did not need any, as her Emperor Yu’s Sword and Emperor Yu’s Cauldron were each treasures of heaven and earth.

Yu Ping and Jiu Ge had asked for them, but she did not have any to give.

They were holding this meeting here, and in the Third Prince’s residence, a group of young talents were also convening.

Geniuses from the four great Sects, the Golden Family of Southern Barbarian State, and Jin Yuanba.

Shenxu Jiangchuan from Northern Cold Continent, Zichuan of Mount Shu, Qingcheng Xu Shen, Kunlun Jiang Wudi, Liuu Yichen, along with the Prime Minister’s son Yi Qingyun from Chang’an Academy, all arrived.

Ten in total, initially designated as the ten victors.

Now, to their dismay, five of them had nearly missed the chance to enter the Secret Realm. The resentment was palpable.

The Third Prince’s son, Ji Haotian, lifted his cup, "Gentlemen, let go of unpleasant matters. Today, let us drink to our hearts’ content. Tomorrow, we shall enter the battlefield with ease."

In the hall, beautiful women danced.

The wine was fragrant and mesmerizing.

Yi Qingyun raised his glass, "Gentlemen may not know, if not for the Third Prince’s efforts today, some of us might have completely missed this opportunity."

Kunlun’s Liuu Yichen raised his eyebrow, "Was it the Third Prince who mediated today’s matters?"

Qingcheng Xu Shen, Wudang Lin Daoqi, Zhang Ziheng of Dragon-Tiger Mountain—those three disciples who were almost squeezed out of the top ten—all frowned.

Ji Haotian smiled, "My father did but lend a hand, it was nothing significant."

His magnanimous and modest demeanor won him the favor of many youngsters present.

Even Jin Yuanba of the Southern Barbarian State could not help but raise his glass in praise, "I have long heard of the Third Prince’s nobility and benevolence. Seeing it today, his reputation truly precedes him. To the Third Prince, this drink is for you."

These words made Ji Haotian tilt his head even higher.

He toasted with Jin Yuanba, smiling, "I am grateful for Brother Jin’s understanding. Those with ambition here share the same sentiment. Even Brother Yi Qingyun’s grandfather, the current Prime Minister, is in support of my father. When the world changes, my father will surely become the Human Emperor."

In this statement, he did not shy away from revealing his ambition for power.

The youths looked at one another, not expecting the Imperial Court’s power struggle to reach such an extent.

Shenxu Jiangchuan stood up, "Tonight, as all talents gather, I shall not hide anything further. Our Shenxu has already declared full support for the Third Prince. I believe it is time for everyone to reach a decision sooner, rather than later, to avoid losing the initiative."

Kunlun’s Jiang Wudi was silent with furrowed brows, while Liuu Yichen took the initiative to say, "The Third Prince is wise and valiant. Undoubtedly, the world will turn to him one day. After this trial, I will fully report to my Master."

"Thank you, Brother Liuu," replied Ji Haotian as he raised his glass in gratitude, deliberately glancing at Jiang Wudi.

He knew the true heir of Kunlun was Jiang Wudi, not Liuu Yichen.

Jiang Wudi remained silent, causing Ji Haotian a touch of disappointment.

He addressed the others, "Gentlemen, are you aware that the Crown Prince intends to betroth his daughter to that Long Fei? He has allowed Long Fei to stay in his daughter Ji Wanyu’s residence and lavished him with benefits to win him over. North Yangtze’s Mount Tai Divine Sword Sect has long relied on the Crown Prince. If not for Long Fei, then that Murong Chong is also likely to become the chosen Imperial Son-in-law. So please keep your eyes open and don’t cast your pearls before swine—do not waste your talents in vain."

"Outrageous, this is news to me!"

Upon hearing about Long Fei, Lin Daoyi of Mount Mao erupted, shattering the table before him in two.

The dancers were so frightened that they all stopped, which led Ji Haotian to dismiss them with a wave of his hand.

He consoled Lin Daoyi, "Dear friend, there is no need for such agitation. My father disapproves of the Crown Prince’s hypocrisy, which is why he has asked me to welcome you all to deliberate a strategy together. This foray into the Imperial Family Secret Realm is a prime opportunity to eliminate their faction."

Lin Daoyi vowed fiercely, "Your Highness can be at ease. Lin Daoyi and Long Fei are irreconcilable, and I am determined to completely defeat him this time."

"And I from Mount Shu shall not let him off either!"

Zichuan grunted, having already heard about the affairs of the Southern Border State from the protector Elder.

Mount Shu’s disciple Qi Yun had reported back to the Sect.

From the battle at Jade Dragon Mountain, only he had returned.

When he saw the portraits for the upcoming competition, he instantly realized that the culprit behind the violence on Jade Dragon Mountain was none other than Long Fei.

Mount Shu had already communicated the news to the other three Sects—Mount Mao, Dragon-Tiger Mountain, and Mount Wudang had all just received the message.

The incident at Jade Dragon Mountain was now being blamed on Mu Qing of Mount Shu.

One could only imagine Zichuan’s feelings; he too wanted nothing more than to kill Long Fei immediately.

Dragon-Tiger Mountain’s Zhang Ziheng, and Wudang’s Lin Daoqi naturally stood on the same side as Zichuan and Lin Daoyi.

On the field, except for Kunlun’s Jiang Wudi, all the young geniuses openly declared their positions.

Ji Haotian asked Jiang Wudi, "Brother Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Wudi said, "I am here this time to seize the opportunity and win the competition. As for other matters, the elders will naturally make the decisions, there’s no need for me to worry about them."

With his words, he pulled a Tai Chi move.

He neither sided with Ji Haotian, nor did he hint at forming an alliance with Long Fei.

"Fence-sitter."

In his heart, Ji Haotian cursed, but his face showed pleasure as he said, "With Brother Dao’s words, I can rest easy. Our alliance is officially established. When we enter the Secret Realm, let’s not rush to compete for resources, but prioritize killing Long Fei. Only by getting rid of this scoundrel can we all have a chance at victory."

The group nodded in unison; although they had their own thoughts, they all agreed with this statement.

It was a must to kill Long Fei, and it would require the combined efforts of everyone present.

Ji Haotian suggested, "If there are no objections, then I would like to propose a name for our alliance. How about we call it the Slaying Dragon Alliance?"

"Excellent!"

"Not bad!"

"I agree!"

Everyone nodded one after another and collectively passed the motion.

Ji Haotian suddenly felt like the leader of the Daoist Sect, his neck craning even higher with pride as he laughed and said, "Then it’s settled. My father has also provided some heavenly treasures for everyone, I hope you will accept them graciously!"

With a wave of his hand, maids immediately came forward, each carrying a Qiankun Bag.

The crowd looked and marveled; the Third Prince’s generosity was truly extraordinary.

Within the Qiankun Bags were Spirit Stones, all of Superior-grade quality.

Every person received the same, each bag containing one hundred thousand Superior-grade Spirit Stones.

These Sect Disciples, who ordinarily held themselves in high regard and disdained forming alliances with worldly forces, were now behaving out of character, hypocritically gathering around Ji Haotian.

Nothing but interests mattered.

They all understood the mutual use and calculation underlying their actions.

Ji Haotian looked over the crowd, noticing only the son of the Southern King, Wang Jie, who received an invitation but did not come.

At that moment, Wang Jie was at the Princess Mansion.

He had given the invitation to Long Fei, jokingly said, "Brother Long, I’ve been forced to pick sides this time and have ended up in your lot. You can’t kick me out and leave me as a lone wolf, can you?"

Long Fei rubbed his head and laughed, "This place has always been welcoming to you, as long as you don’t make me join that Romance Pavilion."

The others burst into laughter, raising their glasses in cheers.

This princely scion was someone Long Fei hadn’t liked at first.

The man was too flamboyant and even flirted with Wang Xiaoya, earning himself a lesson from Long Fei.

Yet, in the Southern Royal Mansion, he had surprisingly spoken up for Long Fei, causing Long Fei to see him in a new light. After talking for a while, he found that Wang Jie was worth befriending. Despite some undesirable princely habits, his heart was quite pure.

As for Ji Haotian’s banquet, the fact that Wang Jie could reject the invite was no small feat already.

If it were the Southern King, he probably would have acted differently.
