Chapter 133 Hualien Tianchi
"Aunt Lan" the beloved concubine of the fourth prince, Xu Li also ran over when she heard the movement.
Tang Xiao used Zhong Lan's eyes to observe the Xu family's sisters. They were indeed as beautiful as flowers and deserved the title of "The Beautiful Sisters in Beijing".
However, knowing that this beautiful sister was determined to kill him because of Xu Qiao and Xu Ming's affairs, Tang Xiao would not have any good feelings for them.
"Miss Lan is here?" The fifth prince Zhu Bo also came over and greeted Zhong Lan.
Looking at Zhu Bo's eyes at Zhong Lan, it seemed to have something else to mean. Tang Xiao then retrieved the memories related to the fifth prince Zhu Bo from Zhong Lan's memory. It turned out that the fifth prince Zhu Bo was actually one of Zhong Lan's suitors.
If Zhong Lan really married the fifth prince, the Xu family of Xingguo Hou, Ci Yunzong and the eldest prince would be closer. However, this not too old Aunt Zhong was devoted to martial arts and turned a deaf ear to all suitors. This may also be the reason why the fifth prince fell in love with her more.
"I have seen Your Highness the Prince." Tang Xiao replied to the fifth prince lukewarmly as Zhong Lan was about the fifth prince's previous behavior.
Xu Xi and Xu Li pulled Zhong Lan to the small table they set up separately. Fortunately, there was only a screen separated from the eldest prince's banquet tables and the words said there could be heard clearly here.
While dealing with the chat with the Xu sisters, Tang Xiao quickly learned some information as he listened to the movements of the eldest prince.
The fourth and fifth princes came with the eldest prince. Those who drank with them were from Ciyun Sect, from Shanan Sect, and the brothers Lin Zhen and Lin Gui. Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel funny. It seemed that he was destined to be enemies of this eldest prince when he traveled through this life.
Because the eldest prince invited everyone to this banquet to kill Tang Xiao and then hurry up, including Xu Xi and Xu Li, who are sitting next to Zhong Lan.
But it is not surprising that in this world, if you don’t want to be ridden by someone, don’t want to keep a low profile, and offend one of the forces, it means you offend everyone in this force.
"The eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince came to Hualien City together. Is there anything important?" Zhong Lan asked Xu Xi's sisters. Tang Xiao knew that the three princes came together not to kill him, and there must be more important things to live.
"The matter of Aqing's enthronement of the prince has been decided. The father's meaning is that as long as he can find the Earth Yuan monster that has signed a soul contract with him and successfully concluded the soul contract, he will announce the enthronement to the entire island. If my aunt knows about this, don't mention it with others." Xu Xi said in a low voice to Zhong Lan.
Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes, because he didn't care much about the struggles in the palace, and he didn't expect that the enthronement of the crown prince was a foregone conclusion. Moreover, once the eldest prince successfully concluded a soul contract with the Earth Yuan monster, his strength immediately increased, and the seventh prince Zhu Yu's enthronement would be even more hopeless. Regardless of whether Tang Xiao really supports the seventh prince, once the eldest prince is enthroned as the crown prince, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Tang family's future, so he must find a way to stop it.
"Constructing a soul contract with the Earth Yuan monster? Ah Qing came here with great fanfare this time. Has he already found the target?" Zhong Lan then asked Xu Xi.
"A Qing's target is the Jade Mountain Hundred Herbs King, one of the four demon kings." Xu Xi knew everything about Zhong Lan.
"The King of Jade Mountain? That mint has lived for hundreds of thousands of years?" Tang Xiao was even more shocked.
"Yes, the four demon kings are not easy to deal with, so the eldest prince wants to invite these masters from the sect to take action and go into the mountains to hunt the Hundred Herb King." Xu Xi nodded, she stayed with the eldest prince. When these things came along, the eldest prince told her all the stories.
"Even if you can capture the Hundred Herbs Demon King, can the eldest prince successfully contract with her? I heard that the soul contract requires the consent of both parties. As far as I know, the Hundred Herbs Demon King received the guidance of the Old Demon Obi, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the peak of Earth Yuan. How can the eldest prince convince her to sign a contract?" Tang Xiao simply took the opportunity to ask Xu Xi's sister a few more questions. Sooner or later he will advance to the Earth Yuan level. After reaching the fourth level, he will also find an Earth Yuan monster to sign a soul contract. It is necessary to learn more information at this time.
"I don't know much about these." Xu Xi shook her head. It was already good that she could answer Zhong Lan's question to the point just now.
"Xiao Xixi, call the fifth prince over and I'll ask him for a question." Tang Xiao was very concerned about this question, so he simply asked Zhong Lan's mouth to ask clearly.
"Why don't Aunt Lan find him by herself? As soon as you shout, he will come over immediately?" Sister Xu Xi covered her mouth and laughed.
"Damn girl, don't help me if I don't learn well." Zhong Lan pretended to be angry and looked down on the floor.
"Hehe, my aunt is waiting, I'll call him." Xu Li got up and walked over, and soon brought the fifth prince Zhu Bo from there.
"Boer, Aunt Lan has something to ask you." Xu Xi looked at the fifth prince Zhu Bo with a mysterious look. Because he was private, and the fifth prince was relatively easy-going, Xu Xi's name also changed.
"Miss Lan, please tell me." Zhu Bo looked at Zhong Lan with a smile, his eyes unable to hide his admiration for her.
"The eldest prince is going to capture the Hundred Herbs King? He..." Zhong Lan asked the fifth prince again what he had asked Xu Xi just now.
"This is not difficult. The Great Emperor invited people from the Soul Sect to help. The Soul Sect has a secret method that can weaken the soul of the monster through sacrifice and refining. In this case, there is a certain chance to force the soul contract with the monster. The Great Emperor came to Hualien City this time, and wanted to invite the masters of the Soul Sect, Ciyun Sect and Shalan Sect to join forces to capture the Hundred Herbs King."
"If this demon king follows the eldest prince, everything is fine. If she doesn't follow, let the masters of the Soul Sect sacrifice and weaken her soul. Once the eldest brother and the Baicao King successfully concluded a soul contract, the eldest brother's strength will be greatly improved and he will become one of the few strong men on Obi Island." The fifth prince was indeed very clear about this and was willing to explain to Zhong Lan.
"Will you go to this hunting operation?" Zhong Lan confirmed to the fifth prince.
"Go, I've just been promoted to the Earth Yuan level. Although I can't help the eldest brother, it's good to be with me to broaden my horizons and accumulate some practical experience." The fifth prince nodded.
"I want to go with you this kind of strange thing that is rare in a thousand years. The fifth prince will tell you and get me a place." Zhong Lan told the fifth prince in an unquestionable tone.
"Of course it's OK. I'll take charge of this for the eldest brother. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." The fifth prince heard that Zhong Lan was going, and his eyes were so excited that he kept rubbing his hands.
"Is there any sure thing I can win the Hundred Herbs King this time?" Zhong Lan continued to ask.
"We got the news that a few days ago, the Baicao King and Dingyong Hou had a battle, which was probably a loss-making ending. Now is the best time to take the opportunity to capture her. However, even if she was not injured, the manpower summoned by the eldest prince today is enough to deal with her." The fifth prince did not hide anything from Zhong Lan. The people of the Ciyun Sect were originally forces within the eldest prince faction. Zhong Lan and the eldest prince are relatives, so the fifth prince naturally would not hide anything from her.
Yushan is not far from Ciyun Mountain. Even if this trip is long, Tang Xiao estimated that driving the flying magic weapon would be enough to go back to Ciyun Sect to find Qu Ang to get the silver notes. This time, he simply followed the eldest prince and his group to Yushan to see with his own eyes how they captured the Earth Yuan monsters and concluded a soul contract. In the future, Tang Xiao must also take this step after entering the fourth level of Earth Yuan.
Not only that, Tang Xiao can also use Zhong Lan to find an opportunity to destroy the eldest prince's plan to capture the Hundred Herbs King. Once the eldest prince is really successful and his strength is greatly enhanced, it will be even more difficult to deal with him in the future.
After saying a few more words, the eldest prince asked the fifth prince to come and drink with him. The fifth prince reluctantly greeted Zhong Lan, and then walked back.
Shortly after the banquet, Zhong Lan got news from the fifth prince that the team members who went to Yushan to capture the Hundred Herbs Kings had already been decided. The eldest prince, the fifth prince, the leader of the Shalan Sect, the leader of the Ciyun Sect, Zhong Kui, the elder of the Soul Sect, the master of the Beichao, Sun Zhen, one of the four generals of the Huli Lie, and dozens of masters of the imperial court and various sects of the fourth level of the Earth Yuan level, as well as more than 500 guards brought by the eldest prince this time.
Such a team can be regarded as a luxurious lineup on Obi Island. More than a dozen masters from the court and the five hundred personal guards have already gone to Yushan in advance and are closely monitoring all the movements on Yushan.
Tang Xiao retrieved Zhong Lan's memory and soon learned that Shapan, the leader of Shalan Sect, Zhong Kui, the leader of Ciyun Sect, the elder of the Soul Sect, Master Bei Chao, and Sun Zhen, one of the four generals of Hu Lie, are all figures at the peak level of the Earth Yuan and even infinitely close to the Tianyuan level. It has to be said that Tang Xiao had underestimated the strength of the eldest prince before.
From all this, it can be seen that the eldest prince has not really taken Tang Xiao seriously. After all, with Tang Xiao's current strength, he is like an ant in front of these people. Tang Xiao has a sense of urgency that he has never had before, and the urgency to improve his own strength. He knows that the eldest prince doesn't leave him much time. If he cannot improve his strength as soon as possible, he will die without a place to bury him in the future.
...
In the afternoon, the eldest prince and his group came to the famous Hualien Tianchi Lake in Hualien City to take a bath. This Hualien Tianchi Lake is a hot spring formed by geothermal heat, containing sulfur and various minerals, which is of great benefit to strengthening the body and improving martial arts cultivation.
