Peerless War God

"I wish King Duan a thousand years of life, and a prosperous life every year."    

"I wish King Duan a healthy life, and a prosperous life every day."    

The streets in front of King Duan's residence were filled with people of all kinds. There were mortals and cultivators mixed together, and they were walking side by side. They were talking about auspicious words and asking for money.    

There were servants and maids of the residence who were wearing the same clothes, and they were distributing red packets. Everyone was smiling and chatting happily.    

Naturally, there were also guards of the residence around, and they were maintaining order. There were too many people, and it was hard to tell how many there were. There were probably more than a hundred thousand people, so they had to be careful.    

Fortunately, the guards of the Divine Capital had received the news and came to help, so there would not be any trouble.    

At the same time, in the backyard of King Duan's residence.    

King Duan, who was slightly fat and had a big face, looked gloomy, and he looked like he was about to cry.    

He looked at the Seventh Prince and Yi Tianren who were standing by the side. There was hatred and fear hidden in his eyes.    

King Duan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yi Tianren. He just begged, "Seventh Prince, Li Huang is your brother. Why did you do this? Let him go and return him to Uncle Wang. How about this?"    

King Duan had begged for so many times, but it did not work.    

The Seventh Prince’s heart was like iron, cold and hard.    

The Seventh Prince laughed coldly and helped King Duan up. He looked straight at King Duan and said, “Uncle King Duan, have you thought about the conditions I mentioned? There are countless eyes outside watching.”    

“I…” King Duan hesitated and was in a dilemma.    

The Seventh Prince smiled contemptuously when he saw this. He was filled with contempt for King Duan. If not for his good relations with many forces in the Divine Capital, he would not have kept King Duan alive.    

Otherwise, he would have long been executed.    

“Uncle King Duan, you have to think about it carefully. Brother Li Huang’s life is in your hands. If you don’t give a good answer…”    

The Seventh Prince did not conceal his threat.    

This matter was too common for him. He did not care about King Duan at all.    

King Duan’s heart tightened when he was threatened. He was furious. He pointed at the Seventh Prince and cursed.    

“Old Seventh, you bastard! You colluded with outsiders and used such a despicable method to deal with your own kin and your brother. You are a complete fool. If the Divine Emperor finds out, do you know how you will be punished?”    

King Duan used the Divine Emperor to scare the Seventh Prince.    

However, he was clearly mistaken. He overestimated the current condition of the Divine Emperor.    

The Seventh Prince sneered and said, “If my father could still get up from his bed, I would be willing to kneel in front of him and repent. However, you won’t be able to wait for that day.”    

“You…”    

King Duan was so scared that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.    

The Seventh Prince quickly stepped forward and pulled him back. He patted King Duan’s shoulder and said, “Uncle King Duan, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? This won’t do. Tonight is your birthday banquet, and it is a big day. You will have to show yourself later to announce the good news of your support for me. Don’t let anything happen to you.”    

When King Duan heard this, he trembled and his face turned pale. He didn’t know what to say for a while.    

The situation in front of him seemed to be very clear.    

He carefully glanced at Yi Tianren who was sitting quietly at the side. Although Yi Tianren didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end, the powerful aura that he emitted, the terrifying aura that suppressed everything, was frightening.    

With Yi Tianren here, every word that the Seventh Prince said could be true. King Duan believed it a hundred times.    

If he didn’t cooperate with the Seventh Prince tonight and didn’t announce his support for the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne of the Divine Emperor, then Li Huang wouldn’t be able to live through tonight. Even he himself might not be able to live through it in the near future.    

This kind of threat and coercion was really despicable and shameless, but he had no other choice.    

Third Prince, I have no other choice. If you can’t do it tonight, then everything will end.    

At this moment, King Duan still wanted to struggle.    

He said tentatively, "I, I will not be involved in the fight for the throne. No one will support me. What do you think? As long as you can let my son go."    

The Seventh Prince was infuriated. His eyes turned red as he said, "Uncle, it seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin, will you? There are many royal brothers and sisters here tonight. If anything happens to them, you will lose your hair."    

The Seventh Prince's threat was very explicit. He did not hide his killing intent at all. It made people shiver.    

King Duan was terrified. His legs went soft and he fell to the ground.    

"I, I..."    

The Seventh Prince laughed and pulled King Duan up forcefully. He said, "Don't worry, Uncle, as long as you do as I say and announce your support for me to ascend to the throne, I will protect your lineage and wealth in the future. It will not be inferior to today. What do you think?"    

Under the threat of the Seventh Prince, King Duan had no choice.    

In fact, he did not believe what the Seventh Prince said in his heart. He was also very disdainful.    

With the Seventh Prince's treacherous and despicable personality, once he ascended to the throne, the dynasty would face a catastrophe.    

He, who was in it, would definitely not be able to escape. He would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it.    

However, although King Duan knew that the Seventh Prince had an unruly personality and was unpredictable, the situation was not favorable to him. Yi Tianren was too strong and he could not resist him.    

Thinking of this, King Duan sighed and said, "I know, I will do as you say. I only hope that you can keep your promise and let my son go after this."    

Hearing that, the Seventh Prince laughed.    

Yi Tianren, who was at the side, also smiled.    

The Seventh Prince hugged King Duan's shoulder and said, "Haha, Uncle Wang, why did you have to waste so much time and effort to agree?"    

"That's right, a wise man submits to the circumstances. King Duan, you should understand the reality. Even if the Third Prince has the help of the Purple Cloud City's Chen Xiao, what can he do? I admit that Chen Xiao's personal strength is indeed not weak, but he is just a rogue cultivator. His influence is too small to change the situation. If we cooperate with you, we will not treat you unfairly."    

Yi Tianren said coldly.    

"Yes, yes, I know what to do."    

King Duan's face was ashen as he sighed.    

The Seventh Prince was overjoyed, "Good, thank you for your help, King Duan. Come, let's drink. I wish you all the best tonight."    

As he spoke, the Seventh Prince took out his wine glass and clinked it with the unwilling King Duan. His face became even happier.    

"Let's drink." Yi Tianren also raised his glass.    

King Duan's face was bitter as he said, "Let's drink."    

At this point, he had no choice. He could only pray that the Third Prince could do something to change the situation.    

Otherwise, after tonight, the Seventh Prince's reputation would be greatly boosted and he would rise to the top.    

At the same time, a terrifying shadow silently approached King Duan’s residence, as if it was brewing something.
