Chapter 4494
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng sensed a regal presence emanating from Xiao Jian!
Yu Wenqiang, taken aback by the revelation, found himself at a loss for words when Elder Chu boldly declared Xiao Jian’s true identity!
After all, not many were aware that Xiao Jian was the prince of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty. The fact that even members of the Demon Sealing Alliance had come to know this made Yu Wenqiang feel a growing unease!
With a swift leap, Yu Wenqiang positioned himself before Xiao Jian, exclaiming, “Welcome back to the dynasty, Second Prince!”
“Prime Minister Yu, it’s been quite some time since we last met, and I see you’ve grown even stronger!”
Xiao Jian greeted him with a slight smile.
“Second Prince, your influence in Cangwolf City has significantly increased. You’ve managed to cultivate numerous Mahayana realm experts and have the virtuous monk at your side,” Yu Wenqiang remarked.
“However, be mindful that Emperor Xiao is not particularly fond of those beneath him amassing power.”
He cautioned Xiao Jian about the potential threat his growing strength posed to the entire Xiao Imperial Dynasty.
In comparison, Xiao Feng felt utterly outmatched by Xiao Jian’s current prowess!
“Prime Minister Yu, if my father disapproves of my power, what choice do I have?”
Xiao Jian suddenly grinned coldly!
In that instant, the old monk beside him lunged forward, his sleeve sweeping through the air, unleashing a red thunderbolt aimed at Yu Wenqiang!
Caught off guard, Yu Wenqiang couldn’t evade the strike in time and was hit by the thunderbolt, causing him to collapse instantly!
“Prime Minister Yu!”
Xiao Feng rushed forward to catch Yu Wenqiang as he fell!
“Second Prince, you …”
Yu Wenqiang stared at Xiao Jian, shock written all over his face!
“Prime Minister Yu, please don’t hold it against me. I’ve been stuck in that dreadful place in Cangwolf City for far too long,” Xiao Jian explained.
“As another prince of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, why should my strength be lesser than that of my brother? Why is he the Crown Prince?”
“It’s simply unfair. My father has sacrificed so much for this erratic brother, yet what has he done for me?”
“I’m here today to claim the throne. From now on, I will be the Xiao Emperor!”
“Hahaha!”
Xiao Jian’s laughter grew increasingly maniacal as he spoke!
Elder Chu and the members of the Demon Sealing Alliance joined in his laughter, reveling in the moment!
“Elder Chu, your cleverness knows no bounds!”
Patriarch Zhou praised him enthusiastically!
With the addition of so many Mahayana realm experts to their ranks, the forces of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty wouldn’t stand a chance!
Yu Wenqiang’s expression darkened, unable to comprehend how things had spiraled into this chaos!
“Prime Minister Yu, what is happening? Who is this person?”
Xiao Feng pressed Yu Wenqiang for answers.
With a heavy sigh, Yu Wenqiang reluctantly revealed Xiao Jian’s identity to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was shocked to learn that he had a half-brother!
For all these years, Xiao Jian had been confined in Cangwolf City, and they had never crossed paths!
As he gazed at Xiao Jian, Xiao Feng felt a pang of shame!
Regardless of Xiao Jian’s cultivation level and power, it was clear that he far surpassed Xiao Feng!
As a prince himself, Xiao Feng had lost his mind over a woman!
In contrast, Xiao Jian radiated the distinct aura of a king!
“Brother, if you desire the status of Crown Prince, I can relinquish it to you… But as the Crown Prince of the Xiao Dynasty, can you truly stand by and watch it fall to the Demon Sealing Alliance?”
Xiao Feng proposed giving up his claim to the Crown Prince title in hopes of securing Xiao Jian’s assistance!
If Xiao Jian allied with the Demon Sealing Alliance, the Xiao Imperial Dynasty would undoubtedly face dire consequences!
“Crown Prince?” Xiao Jian scoffed, “I have no interest in mere titles; what I seek is the throne itself!”
With that declaration, Xiao Jian turned and joined forces with the Demon Sealing Alliance!
Seeing this, Elder Chu beamed with joy and promptly pledged, “Prince Xiao, rest assured, our Demon Sealing Alliance will fully support your ascension to the throne!”
