Inner Region, Yin Kingdom
Inner Region, Yin Kingdom
Wang Han and Tang Ji looked at each other, knowing that this plan would be difficult. If they didn't have time to meet the second Prince, it was certain that They would lose their relationship forever as it looked like challenging him.
However, thinking back on the results, what Liu Kang said was definitely worth giving a try. Wang Han and Tang Ji nodded at each other after thinking for a while because it was probably for the best this time.
"Okay! In that case, Tomorrow morning, we will go to the inner region to where the third Prince is." Wang Han said with a small nod.
Liu Kang agreed. Since they all agreed, they also waited for tomorrow to start their plan to negotiate with the third prince.
The next day, Liu Kang's group immediately moved towards the entrance of the inner region. Because they already have the token from the third Prince, they will certainly be able to enter even if they have to be escorted to the residence of the third Prince they are going to.
Arriving at the gate of the inner region, Wang Han also gave the token to the guard, and the guard understood what that meant.
"Take them to where the third Prince is!" The chief guard ordered his subordinates
Several cultivators brought Liu Kang's group inside through the gate.
Not long after, the guards brought a special vehicle by the guards.
"Please ascend; sorry for the inconvenience, as this is a rule made by this kingdom." Said the guard in a normal tone as if he didn't care.
Liu Kang's group didn't mind the guard talking like that at all. They got into the train car, and the guard immediately took them to where the third prince was.
"The guard in the inner region is indeed very strict. I didn't expect that they would even make such a rule." Liu Kang said, not believing at all that the Yin clan would be so wary of anyone at this time.
"Naturally, such a thing happened because of the coup that one of the big clans in the Yin kingdom had carried out to shift their long-standing power. I will tell you that the coup killed a lot of cultivators. Because one of the big clans hired many cultivators and incited many citizens of the Yin kingdom to attack the Yin clan together."
"From that clash, the current king received a very serious injury, so a fight for the Throne between the three Princes occurred. The current king is still very young, he hasn't even reached 100 years old, but he has already had to step down from the Throne due to his serious injury. "Wang Han explained.
"Ying Clan, that clan is a Clan related by blood to the Yin clan. The two were said to be of the same origin in the past. Over time, the two clans grew, and more great clans appeared around them."
"Then, all those great clans formed an empire, and during the election of the first king, the Yin Clan and the Ying Clan finally clashed, and the result was Victory for the Yin Clan."
"Since then, the Yin Clan has disliked the Ying Clan even though they share the same origin. When the Yin clan ascended to the Throne, they also treated all the members of the Ying Clan arbitrarily, which made them hate the Yin Clan to this day."
"And based on the uncovered information, the Ying Clan had been plotting coups for hundreds of years. Gathered many forces and cultivators. In the end, there were several cultivators joined the Ying Clan. Unfortunately, they failed when They carried out the coup, and all the rebels were immediately executed. After that, The Yin Clan no longer makes things easy for the cultivators in the Yin kingdom. They have been very vigilant until recently." Wang Han explained.
"I didn't expect that there would be such history in this kingdom," muttered Liu Kang.
"Yes. That incident also killed many members of the Yin Clan. Originally, the Yin Clan had grown to three times the number of even the Wang Clan, a powerful clan. But their numbers have reduced by almost half since the coup incident." Wang Han continued.
"But I heard there is a powerful hidden cultivator in the Yin kingdom; who could it be?" Liu Kang asked curiously.
"He was the Old Ancestor of the Yin Clan. But he was also injured during a fight with the Old Ancestor of the Ying Clan. The two clans originally had proximity in strength and were always rivals. working together to overthrow the Yin Clan." Said Wang Han.
"If he is currently injured and in a state of recuperation, the enemies will be less likely if we become enemies of the Yin kingdom."
Tang Ji added.
"What Tang Ji said is correct. We still have to be careful of the Yin Kingdom. We don't know what they will do with the offer we make. Something like that would show their true nature in person, and they would do anything to take it for granted. Even though we don't know the contents of the historical relics in historical records." Wang Han added.
Liu Kang was silent; he thought about what to do when meeting the third prince later.
"What kind of person is the third Prince?" Liu Kang asked curiously.
"He is very cunning and greedy when it comes to treasure. Especially if we offer something like that, he will try to make the most of it." Said Wang Han.
"Even so, we could use him to take down the Lin Clan near Wuhrang City. He would do anything if he were greedy for treasures." Liu Kang said.
"You're right. That's why the third prince is the most appropriate choice now." Tang Ji nodded in agreement.
Before anyone else spoke, the means of transportation they were riding stopped.
"Let's go out; it seems we have arrived." Wang Han immediately stood up and walked out.
"Please Exit; we have arrived." Someone's voice sounded as Wang Han opened the door.
When Liu Kang got out of the vehicle, he stared at a luxurious building close to the largest palace in the center of the Yin Kingdom.
"This is the residence of the third Prince. Come follow me." The guard who brought them over spoke.
Liu Kang's group just followed suit without commenting.
Arriving at the residence's gate, you can see that many cultivators serve as gatekeepers.
After the man who escorted Liu Kang's group spoke to the guards at the venue, they immediately nodded and took the token held by the cultivator who escorted Liu Kang's group.
"Come follow me; the Third Prince is currently at his residence. I will escort you." The guard immediately led Liu Kang's group into the third Prince's residence.
Upon reaching the residence with many guards, He led Liu Kang's group to a room.
"Please wait here! I will say you guys have arrived at the third Prince." said the guard.
Liu Kang's group only bothered and waited in the living room, which looked luxurious and was decorated with many precious things. From that, Liu Kang immediately knew that the Third Prince was indeed someone who was crazy about treasures. In the cultivation world, such a thing only made him want to laugh because, with strength, treasures would be very easy to obtain. But with treasures, Anyone still needs to obtain power.
After judging what the third prince would be like with just all the treasures, it wasn't long before They heard the sound of the door being opened.
A person accompanied by two cultivators was seen.
The five immediately stood up because they didn't want to make a bad impression on the third prince. Even Liu Kang understood such a thing, so he only pretended to greet the Prince.
Liu Kang looked at the handsome young man with an extremely arrogant face. Her clothes look very luxurious and reflect her mere approximation of wealth.
But Liu Kang was a little surprised that the Prince's cultivation level when he reached the Fifth Stage of the Earth Realm was the same as Wang Han and Tang Ji.
From that, Liu Kang understood that there was still time to decide who would be the next king of the Yin kingdom.
"Greetings, Third Prince." Said Wang Han, Tang Ji, Tang Kong, and Tang Kuan, clasping their hands together.
"No need for formalities. Please take a seat." The third prince spoke with a smile on his face while glancing at Liu Kang since he was the one he had recruited even though he was a bit surprised by the presence of Wang Han and Tang Ji because, of course, he knew beforehand that his twin brother often traveled with the two people.
But when he thinks back on the three of them not being together for years, he predicts that their relationship has broken down even though he is still wary of the moment.
Liu Kang, Wang Han, Tang Ji, Tang Kong and Tang Kuan sat down. The 3rd Prince sat down while his two bodyguards remained standing behind.
Without even checking, Liu Kang knew that the two bodyguards were strong Sky Realm cultivators. At least it has reached the fourth stage.
"So, do you accept my offer?" asked the third prince with a smile and glanced at Liu Kang, then continued, "I will provide valuable resources for him to increase his cultivation quickly. But one thing you need to know. You're going to get it, and it's very sensitive."
