Peerless War God

“It seems so. The rumors are true. I didn’t expect that even King Duan is on the Seventh Prince’s side. This way, the Seventh Prince’s position will be secured.”    

“King Duan is a wise man. Everyone knows that the Seventh Prince is the most powerful among the three princes. He is betting on the Seventh Prince.”    

“That makes sense. The Seventh Prince is extremely resourceful and has the help of the Immortal Weapon Sect. He is like a tiger with wings. The throne of the Divine Emperor is already in his grasp.”    

The crowd was discussing among themselves. They were impressed by the Seventh Prince. Some of them even praised him.    

However, half of them chose to remain silent. They frowned and stared at King Duan coldly. They felt that it was very strange and inexplicable.    

It must be known that King Duan didn’t get involved in the competition for the throne between the three princes. He was just an idle prince.    

Although he had the power of a dragon, the risk was huge.    

Many families in the Divine Capital weren’t willing to get involved. King Duan was the leader among them, and he had the most reputation.    

As a result, many families were on good terms with King Duan and didn’t want to get involved. They wanted to get out of this mess.    

However, they didn’t expect that King Duan’s birthday feast would be related to the Seventh Prince. It was simply a mess.    

Moreover, before this, these people who were on good terms with King Duan didn’t receive any news.    

They thought that King Duan had betrayed them, and they could not stand it anymore, so they were extremely furious.    

It was already a great honor that he did not throw the door and leave on the spot.    

At the same time, they took into account the Seventh Prince’s presence. It would not be good to be too harsh on him, so they could only silently turn around and express their dissatisfaction.    

Of course, there were at least a hundred people in the huge hall, so there were not many people who expressed their dissatisfaction.    

Most of them tacitly agreed, lowered their heads, and did not say anything. They were secretly communicating.    

“Sigh, what do you all think is going on? Why did King Duan get involved in this?”    

“It’s too strange tonight. King Duan’s attitude suddenly changed. What is it for?”    

“I don’t know. We’ve been tricked by King Duan.”    

“Everyone, calm down. Let’s continue watching. I saw King Duan’s expression turn ugly, so there might be something hidden.”    

“That’s fine too. That’s all we can do. Let’s wait and see.”    

“Okay.”    

For a moment, the hall of King Duan’s residence was filled with different expressions. Some were happy, some were surprised, and some pretended to be indifferent and showed dissatisfaction.    

Fortunately, Yi Tianren was there, and the only immortal-grade expert present was an elder of the Immortal Artifact Sect. His strength was monstrous, and his prestige was great. No one dared to act rashly.    

The scene was still calm, and it was suppressed.    

The Seventh Prince smiled when he saw this. “Everyone, don’t just stand there. I came here tonight especially to congratulate Uncle King Duan on his birthday. I only came to congratulate him on his birthday, not for anything else. Everyone, don’t be reserved. Eat and drink.”    

He had to say some words of courtesy. This was a great pleasure for the Seventh Prince.    

After he finished speaking, the Seventh Prince glanced coldly at King Duan.    

King Duan’s body trembled and he quickly forced a smile. He said in agreement, “It is my honor to be invited by the Seventh Prince to my birthday banquet. I am extremely happy to be here.”    

The Seventh Prince smiled complacently and said, “Uncle King Duan, you are too serious. The country is in chaos now and there are constant internal and external problems. You and I should work together and advance together.”    

“Good.” Yi Tianren, who was at the side, smiled and squinted his eyes.    

As long as he could win over King Duan, the Seventh Prince would be able to achieve great things.    

He did not need to care about the Third Prince.    

“Uncle King Duan, what do you think?” The Seventh Prince took a step closer and put his arm around King Duan’s shoulder as he said with a smile.    

The two of them held each other’s shoulders and looked very intimate.    

It was imaginable that after tonight, such a scene would spread throughout the Divine Capital and everyone would know about it.    

At that time, King Duan would stand on the Seventh Prince’s side and support the Seventh Prince in fighting for the throne of the Divine Emperor.    

Even if King Duan wanted to defend himself, no one would believe him. They would only think that he was on the Seventh Prince’s side.    

The Seventh Prince’s actions were very thoughtful. It was simple, crude, and extremely effective.    

When he heard the Seventh Prince’s threatening words, King Duan did not dare to resist. He could only reply, “Yes, yes. Your Highness is right.”    

"Hahaha!"    

The Seventh Prince laughed heartily. Everything was under his control, and he was full of pride.    

At the same time, a series of cheers erupted from the crowd.    

"Congratulations, Seventh Prince, for getting such a great helper."    

"Duke of Duan, you have a good eye. It is the fortune of the Peerless Dynasty to have you as a helper."    

"Congratulations, Seventh Prince."    

The cheers from the crowd were endless, and they were all very orderly. It was obvious that someone had ordered them beforehand, and they had arranged everything very meticulously.    

As a result, the atmosphere in the hall was pushed to the extreme, and it was extremely lively.    

"Oh?"    

But at this moment, a Seventh Prince's subordinate walked in quickly, and his expression was anxious and uneasy, falling into Yi Tianren's eyes.    

Yi Tianren's gaze turned cold, and he said via voice transmission, "Stop, what are you doing?"    

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and he also heard Yi Tianren's voice, and he hurriedly stopped.    

"Reporting to Lord Yi, there is something urgent that I need to report to the Seventh Prince."    

Yi Tianren's eyebrows twitched, "Oh?"    

He glanced at the Seventh Prince beside him, and he saw the Seventh Prince hugging Duke of Duan's shoulders, chatting happily, and exchanging cups with the guests that came up.    

The Seventh Prince was using the name of Duke of Duan to gather the hearts of the people. At such an important juncture, he could not afford to make any mistakes.    

If he let a subordinate ruin the matter, that would be a great taboo.    

Thinking of this, Yi Tianren's gaze turned cold, "Speak, what is it that you need to report personally?"    

“This…” The subordinate glanced at the Third Prince who was busy at the side, then lowered his head and replied, “Lord Yi, we just found that Chief Steward Wang disappeared, along with a group of brothers, and there are quite a number of them.”    

“Chief Steward Wang?” Yi Tianren frowned and said with some doubt.    

He was busy with all sorts of matters, so how could he care about such a small figure? When his subordinate said this, he didn’t have any impression of him at all.    

The subordinate was startled and quickly said, “Chief Steward Wang is the trusted aide of the Seventh Prince, and he is at the late stage of the Plundering Immortal Realm. He has always been reliable when handling matters, but for some reason, he disappeared this time, and there is no news of him at all. This matter is quite serious, and it is very strange. When I found him, I immediately came to report this.”    

Hearing this, Yi Tianren’s heart moved, “Late stage of the Plundering Immortal Realm; then what about the others? How many people have gone missing, and what cultivation realm are they at?”    

Instinct told him that something must have happened.    

The subordinate quickly replied, “Other than Chief Steward Wang, there are two brothers at the Plundering Immortal Realm, and more than ten Prominent Divine Realm brothers have gone missing.”    

“They went missing together?” Yi Tianren questioned.    

“Yes.”    

“Where?”    

“Just outside the King Duan Mansion, and there are only three streets between us.”    

“What?” Yi Tianren’s eyes bulged and he angrily rebuked, “You guys didn’t even notice at such a close distance, you really are a bunch of good-for-nothings.”
