The City Lord of the Heavenly Cloud City had a cold look in his eyes.
He was Prince Ji Xuan's advisor.
He knew deep in his heart that whether it was Prince Ji Xuan's shrewdness or his schemes, he was one of the best among the princes.
Regardless of whether Prince Ji Xuan killed his other brothers and sisters, he was still a prince with huts and schemes. If he became the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom would definitely be able to prosper.
In addition, Prince Ji Xuan had also promised him that if he helped Prince Ji Xuan seize the throne, he would definitely be one of the ministers in the Imperial Court.
Compared to the City Lord of this place, he still wanted to be an official in the central government.
Hence, he became Prince Ji Xuan's advisor.
If Prince Ye Chen successfully returned to the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, then Prince Ji Xuan's plan would be completely ruined.
This was because the Emperor's goal was very clear.
Prince Ye Chen would definitely succeed to the throne when he returned.
Otherwise, the Emperor would not have been seated on the throne for so long without abdicating.
If the Emperor wanted Ji Xuan to become the Emperor, he would have done so long ago.
Therefore, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to kill Prince Ye Chen in the Heavenly Cloud City.
"Humph, a useless prince with no cultivation base is just a piece of trash in the mountains. How can he compete with Prince Ji Xuan for the throne?" The City Lord said coldly.
"Are the four elders of our Heavenly Cloud City here?"The City Lord looked at the spy and asked.
"Reporting to the City Lord, the four elders are already waiting for you in the main hall!"
The City Lord nodded and walked toward the main hall.
He entered the main hall.
At this moment, he saw four old men sitting in the main hall.
The City Lord of Heavenly Cloud City hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the four elders!"
"Chen Yun, you asked us to come over. What's the matter?" An elder looked at the City Lord of Heavenly Cloud City, Chen Yun, and asked.
Chen Yun hurriedly bowed and said, "Four elders, this time, I would like to ask the four elders to kill someone for me!"
"Kill someone? What kind of person do you need the four of us to kill?" Elder Mei looked at Chen Yun and asked.
Chen Yun was not a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert.
The selection of City Lords did not depend on the level of cultivation. Some people gained power due to family.
Some people were also selected.
According to the imperial examination, the martial arts examination was a comprehensive evaluation of the selection.
Therefore, not every City Lord was a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert.
Most of them were experts in the Transcending Tribulation Realm.
The four elders in front of Chen Yun were the four extremely powerful experts in their Heavenly Cloud City.
They were the fourth elder of Mei Lan Zhu Ju.
Mei Lan Zhu Ju was their nickname.
However, they were all wrinkled elders and did not seem to have anything to do with Mei Lan Zhu Ju.
Chen Yun hurriedly bowed and said, "The illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Illegitimate son? In other words, you want us to kill the prince for you?" Elder Zhu immediately asked.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "The four elders are all unworldly experts. Are you afraid of an illegitimate prince?
"Moreover, shouldn't the four elders have met Prince Ji Xuan?
"Don't you think that with Prince Ji Xuan's talent, he's more suitable to be the Emperor of our Eastern Imperial Kingdom?"
At this moment, Elder Ju snapped. "Don't say such useless things.
"Just say, what benefits will you give us by killing this brat?"
At this moment, Chen Yun smiled and said, "If the four of you kill this Ye Chen on behalf of the Prince, then the secret manuals in the Imperial Palace can be freely read by the four of you. Don't tell me that the four of you aren't interested in becoming immortals.
"With the four elders' strength and the secret manuals in the Imperial Palace, it's not impossible for them to find a way to ascend!"
As soon as these words were said.
The eyes of the fourth elder, Mei Lan Zhu Ju, lit up.
They were indeed somewhat tempted by the secret manuals of the imperial family.
If they could see the secret manuals of the imperial family, it was not impossible for them to find a way to ascend.
"Is what you said true?" Elder Lan immediately asked.
"Of course it's true!"
"If you kill that useless prince and wait for Prince Ji Xuan to become the Emperor, then you will be the strongest and most favored. What do you think?" Chen Yun continued to tempt them.
Following Chen Yun's words.
At this moment, the few elders were all somewhat moved.
Regarding Chen Yun's conditions, they had to say that they were already moved.
"Alright, we agree to your terms!"
…
In the Heavenly Cloud City.
Ye Chen and Second Senior Sister and Seventh Senior Sister were seen getting into the horse carriage.
Elder Jin Ling was riding a horse and following beside Ye Chen's horse carriage. Since he had appeared, there was no need for him to hide anymore.
Right now, the only one hiding in the dark was the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's elder, Monk Jing Kong.
Yang Xiao led the group toward the City Lord's mansion.
"Little junior brother, are we really going to the City Lord's manor?" Second Senior Sister Murong Qingxue asked.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Do you think that we can just casually leave after entering the city?"
"There must be many experts stationed at the Heavenly Cloud City's exit now. Right now, the entire Heavenly Cloud City is our opponent. If we don't get rid of the City Lord, our losses will only be greater," Ye Chen said indifferently.
Hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Second Senior Sister felt that Ye Chen was terrifying.
She did not expect that little junior brother had already considered so much.
Ye Chen smiled and continued, "Moreover, the purpose of my trip is to let them assassinate me! The worst-case scenario is to let me reveal my strength."
