Chapter 2192: Chapter 2177: Xuan Ji of the Inheritance Scroll

In the promises of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, pouring tea and wine personally and sincerely respecting him as a brother is nothing significant.

It can be said that aside from appearances, there is no benefit or effect.

However, the last words in the promise of the Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, to regard him as supreme, is a huge benefit.

Simply put, it means to honor the brother avenging Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong as supreme.

If it were an ordinary family, it would be fine, but this is the Demon Clan where the three sons eligible to inherit the Demon Emperor’s throne reside.

Once the Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, voluntarily honors one of his brothers as supreme, it represents that Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, not only withdraws from the competition for the Demon Emperor’s throne.

But to some extent, becomes a subordinate to that brother and works for him.

The three Crown Princes of the Demon Emperor competing for the throne originally divided the world into three, so the competition is intense.

But if such a situation arises where the Seventh Prince, Congyun, leans to one side, the probability of that side inheriting the Demon Emperor’s throne would increase significantly.

In other words, from this moment on, the Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, has already withdrawn from the struggle for the throne of the Demon Emperor. In the future, whoever can kill Ye Zhen and avenge Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, then that person can gain the Seventh Prince Congyun’s support to inherit the Demon Emperor’s throne.

How clever are the Second Crown Prince, Zhuiri, and the Fifth Crown Prince, Poyue?

Almost at the moment the Seventh Prince, Congyun’s words fell, the Second Prince, Zhuiri, and Fifth Prince, Poyue, simultaneously wanted to seize this opportunity that seemed within reach to inherit the throne.

In their view, breaking through the Blood River Fortress and killing the commander of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea is merely a matter of deploying troops.

"Second Brother, Fifth Brother, you both should understand my character, words must be kept, actions must have results, this is my style." The Seventh Prince, Congyun, gave another straightforward answer.

"Of course, if Second Brother and Fifth Brother do not believe, I will swear by the honor of my One-eyed Demon Emperor lineage." Noticing the skeptical looks from the Second Prince, Zhuiri, and Fifth Prince, Poyue, the Seventh Prince, Congyun, added once more.

"Good, this is a great deed!" The Second Prince, Zhuiri, clapped his hands and laughed.

"If Seventh Brother can swear, then as your brother, I can act without any reservations!" Said the Fifth Prince Poyue.

Being the Demon Clan’s royal Crown Prince, the Seventh Prince Congyun naturally understood the thoughts of his two brothers.

In the Demon Clan, people always value benefits over promises; of course, his two brothers are afraid he might regret it after achieving the goal.

Moreover, from a normal Demon Clan person’s perspective, the Seventh Prince, Congyun, will definitely regret it in the future.

However, swearing by the honor of one’s own bloodline is no small matter, especially making such a vow in front of so many high-ranking generals, there is simply no possibility of regret.

Once a vow is broken, there would be no place for one in the higher ranks of the Demon Clan anymore.

Therefore, when the Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, makes a vow by the honor of the One-eyed Demon Emperor lineage in front of his two Crown Prince brothers and a group of generals, all the generals were stunned.

Nobody could have expected, or understood, why the Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, would make such a heavy vow?

As for the Second Prince, Zhuiri, and Fifth Prince Poyue, they were overjoyed, with delight showing simultaneously in their eyes.

This not only means a reduction of one competitor but also, as long as the Blood River Fortress is flattened at all costs, and Ye Zhen is killed, the throne of the Demon Emperor will draw infinitely closer.

"Since Seventh Brother is so sincere, then rest assured and recuperate, leave the revenge for Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong to me!" The Second Prince, Zhuiri, spoke first.

"Second Brother, my army is not too far from the Blood River Fortress, it should be left to me..."

The Fifth Prince Poyue was just about to contest the opportunity when the Second Prince Zhuiri rudely interrupted, "Fifth Brother, as your elder brother, I should stand up for Seventh Brother who has been wronged.

Therefore, the matter of avenging Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong will be left to me!" Finishing his words, the Second Prince Zhuiri looked at the Seventh Prince Congyun with an incredibly firm tone, "Seventh Brother, this matter is settled this way!"

"All depends on Second Brother’s arrangements!"

The compliance of the Seventh Prince Congyun made the Second Prince Zhuiri very pleased, whereas the Fifth Prince Poyue was quite anxious and was just about to speak again when Divine Soul Telecommunication sounded from the Dao Palace, making the Fifth Prince Poyue’s eyes flicker.

With a sinister smile, the Fifth Prince Poyue suddenly stopped opposing the Second Prince Zhuiri’s decision, "In that case, then I’ll simply wish Second Brother success in getting Ye Zhen’s head soon!" Having said that, he left first.

Even though the Second Prince Zhuiri was somewhat surprised, he was still incredibly pleased, casually said a few words, and hurriedly left.

This matter is of great importance; now that it’s in hand, it should be executed quickly and swiftly.

Moreover, this campaign has already been going on for several months, his forces have been allocated to various fronts, and to draw out a large number of troops once again requires careful calculation and considerable time.

After the Fifth Prince left, the Seventh Prince Congyun briefly bowed and left the council hall, leaving the generals behind with puzzled expressions, but they could only disperse with no alternative.

In another Commander Mansion in Jialing City, one of the thirty-six Marching Chiefs, Jii Wuxin, was conversing with his confidant, Yii Si.

"Chief, with Seventh Prince making such a move, has he lost the value of support? Should we look for a new master?" Yii Si straightforwardly asked.

"Looking for a new master?"

Jii Wuxin sneered, "Do you think the Seventh Prince today is normal?"

"Chief, what do you mean?" Yii Si looked puzzled.

"The Seventh Prince of the Demon Emperor, trained rigorously since childhood, has nerves and willpower as tough as steel; the death of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong wouldn’t make him over-grieve, and even if their father, the current Demon Emperor, died, he wouldn’t be like this."

"There’s something strange, there must be something strange!" Jii Wuxin said with a face full of certainty.

"But Chief, the Seventh Prince made a bloodline honor oath today in public!" Yii Si was puzzled.

"Is that true?" Suddenly, Chief Jii Wuxin asked, "Before and after the death of the Demon Master, did the Seventh Prince have any special reactions or encounters?

By the way, recount for me the situation that day, in detail."

Yii Si obediently recounted the events of that day to Jii Wuxin, and not long after, Jii Wuxin said with assurance, "The Jade Slip of the Demon Master!"

"The problem lies with the Jade Slip of the Demon Master!"

"Otherwise, even if spewing blood, he would still seek revenge for the Demon Master at all costs, even if the troops are discouraged, it shouldn’t lead to a complete withdrawal.

There must be an issue with the Jade Slip of the Demon Master received!"

"Do you know the contents of the Jade Slip of the Demon Master?" Jii Wuxin inquired.

Yii Si shook his head, "Chief, I do not know."

"Investigate the contents of the Jade Slip of the Demon Master in secret. Meanwhile, continue working with the Seventh Prince as before, understand?" Jii Wuxin instructed.

"Understood!" Yii Si nodded heavily.

"The Seventh Prince of Demon Emperor Cong Yun, selected among thousands, is not someone who would easily admit defeat or give up..." This statement, Marching Chief Jii Wuxin seemed to address Yii Si, yet seemed like talking to himself.

At the same time, in the camp of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

Returning to the camp, the Seventh Crown Prince, Congyun, first calmly washed away the saliva from his face, then went to a Silent Chamber in the back of the camp.

Inside the Silent Chamber was a peaceful Demon Clan man dressed in white. In terms of aura, he bore some resemblance to Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

"Greetings, Mr. Liu Wu." Upon entering, the Seventh Prince Congyun respectfully saluted this man, and judging from the name, this man seemed to be a Six-word Prophet Demon Master.

"You’re too courteous, Your Highness. How did the mission today turn out?" Liu Wu asked.

"Mr. Liu Wu, everything proceeded according to the instructions in your Inheritance Scroll, and the results were almost exactly as predicted in the scroll," replied the Seventh Prince Congyun.

Hearing this, Liu Wu nodded, "In that case, Your Highness should continue acting according to the instructions in my senior brother’s Inheritance Scroll.

If there’s anything you don’t understand or aren’t clear about, come find me!"

Nodding, the Seventh Prince Congyun saluted again before leaving the Silent Chamber.
