Dragon Blood King

Inside the magnificent First Prince's Palace, Loong Ao was sitting on a large, golden chair. His face was gloomy and a sense of calculation flashed across his eyes.    

High Priest was also sitting on the side.    

"First Prince, why did you call me here?" High Priest asked Loong Ao.    

"High Priest, twenty years ago, you were still just a slightly famous Beastmaster with a bit of Holy Dragon Kingdom. For you to have the status you have today, who should you be thanking?" Loong Ao looked at High Priest coldly and said.    

"Of course it's the empress. Back then, it was all thanks to the empress's recommendation that I was able to benefit from Dragon Emperor's favor. I'm still grateful to the empress." High Priest answered with a solemn expression. However, he naturally felt that Loong Ao's sudden mention of this matter was not just a casual statement.    

"As long as you remember. Although my mother no longer asked about the royal family. However, if she was here, she would definitely not let that bastard stand a chance. Back then, if it wasn't for that bastard's mother, the royal family wouldn't have been at peace. My mother will not convert to a sect and cultivate her character in such a short time. " Loong Ao said.    

"I don't understand what the First Prince means …" High Priest naturally knew that the trash bastard Loong Ao was talking about was definitely Loong Xuan, but he still asked knowing the answer.    

"Although High Priest's position in Holy Dragon Kingdom is already considered high, with High Priest's age, how many years of his current position would he be able to hold?" Loong Ao looked at High Priest coldly and asked.    

Even though he currently possessed a position that made people look up to him in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he was already a rare age and his Holy Dragon Kingdom was filled with talents. Adding that to the current Dragon Emperor's love for talented people, his position of High Priest would be given to someone else sooner or later for the sake of serving the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, after staying in the clouds for so long, everyone would have their own greed for power, and he was no exception. That feeling of having authority over the country was not something one could simply put down.    

"If nothing unexpected happens, in three to five years, I will ascend to the throne. At that time, I will be the ruler of Holy Dragon Kingdom. I am already prepared to ascend the throne. Almost all of these ministers with slightly younger Holy Dragon Kingdom are my trusted aides now, but they are still not enough to be my right hand men. High Priest is a man who understands that it is time to make his choice. " Loong Ao said.    

"The First Prince is now the successor to the next position of Dragon Emperor. This position must belong to the First Prince as well. I don't understand what the First Prince has to worry about." High Priest asked.    

"Although I am already the heir, as the prince of Dragon Emperor, which prince doesn't covet my position? I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If I don't offend you, then you might want to make sure of it." Of course, the other princes are nothing to be afraid of, and right now, there's only one major threat. As long as it's not him, I will be able to rest easy. " Loong Ao said with a cold expression.    

"The First Prince is probably referring to Loong Xuan, right?" High Priest squinted his eyes. He did not need to guess because Bai Yuhao had already become a future star who had integrated with a Holy Dragon Kingdom sacred artifact. He had broken through the Earth Battle Stage in two months, and this was something that no one had ever done before. According to Zu High Priestson's last words, if the heir of the royal family fused with the Holy Dragon Pearl, he could inherit the next High Priestson. In theory, Bai Yuhao was now Loong Ao's strongest competitor.    

"If it's him, the First Prince should be even more at ease. Didn't Dragon Emperor already say clearly that he wouldn't consider another successor. That is, it is impossible for Loong Xuan to become Dragon Emperor's successor. Therefore, there's no need to worry at all. " High Priest said.    

"High Priest thought it was too simple. If High Priestson had only thought of it that way, he would never have married Ximen Xue to Loong Xuan. Ximen Xue was the future heir to the Ximen Family Clan, and with the current power of the Ximen Family Clan, after a few years, she could even surpass the royal family. And Loong Xuan, who was to become the son-in-law of the Ximen Family Clan, would also have a strong power to fight against the Imperial Family. If Loong Xuan had second thoughts, then High Priestson's position could not be determined. So I really wonder if Father did it on purpose, deliberately, to make Loong Xuan the next High Priestson. " Loong Ao guessed shrewdly.    

"I don't think Dragon Emperor would do that. If Dragon Emperor intended to make Loong Xuan the next Dragon Emperor, why did he downgrade Loong Xuan to a civilian in the first place? High Priest thought so.    

"Back then, Father still stubbornly brought that bastard mother back to the imperial family and took her as his concubine, regardless of the opposition from the imperial family. He knew that he still had feelings for that bastard's mother, so he definitely had reason to do so. Furthermore, demoralizing Loong Xuan as a commoner was only a way for him to secretly pass through the ranks. Otherwise, how do you think that bastard would be able to break through the Earth Battle Stage at such an astonishing speed in two months? If he didn't have any support, I definitely wouldn't believe that bastard could break through the Earth Battle Stage with his own strength. " Loong Ao clenched his fists and said with veins popping out on his forehead.    

"That's true. Loong Xuan's speed in breaking through the Earth Battle Stage is shockingly fast, and on top of that, he even took out a Profound Yellow Spirit Stone. High Priest also nodded in confusion.    

"So, I'm sure this is Father's secret plan. He deliberately demoted Loong Xuan as a commoner, and secretly helped him. Afterwards, he made arrangements for him to stand out in terms of Dragon Birth Celebration, and then, naturally, he reconferred him as a prince, and then arranged for marriage. " Loong Ao said.    

"Speaking of which, General Mu is the one who arranged Loong Xuan's match at Dragon Birth Celebration. "It's quite strange." High Priest asked in confusion.    

"General Mu is Father's trusted aide. Father trusts General Mu more than anyone else." So, this is also the obvious thing. " Loong Ao guessed.    

"In that case, these things are indeed too coincidental." High Priest said noncommittally.    

"All this was planned. If Loong Xuan and Ximen Xue were to be married, then Loong Xuan would be like a tiger that had wings. So, I hope High Priest can give me a hand. Of course, I will not mistreat High Priest. After I ascend to the throne, I will bestow High Priest the title of national protector. High Priest's position, you can sit as long as you want. At that time, you will be truly below one person and above tens of thousands of people. " Loong Ao lured him.    

Loong Ao's words moved High Priest's heart, but at the same time, he was worried, because Loong Xuan was now the focus of attention of the entire imperial family, even the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom. So, if something happened to Loong Xuan, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.    

I know that High Priest has his concerns, but don't worry, I don't need you to help me with this matter. I just need High Priest to come up with an idea for me. How can I make that bastard suffer a crushing defeat and ruin of his reputation. Loong Ao said with a sinister smile. He knew that High Priest had been by Dragon Emperor's side for so many years, and he understood Dragon Emperor's style of doing things. How could he make Dragon Emperor give up on Loong Xuan? He believed High Priest knew this the best.    

"The thing that Dragon Emperor could not tolerate the most is betrayal. All these years, no one who betrayed Dragon Emperor had a good ending. Therefore, if Loong Xuan is allowed to betray Dragon Emperor, then everything will naturally go according to the plan. " High Priest hesitated for a moment and said with a hint of shrewdness in his old eyes.    

"High Priest already has an idea?" Loong Ao knew that he had found the right person.    

"Now, Dragon Emperor's favorite concubine is Consort De. If Dragon Emperor finds out that his beloved concubine has been insulted by his own son, what do you think Dragon Emperor would think?" High Priest said after calculating everything.    

"Haha …" High Priest, you really didn't let me down. However, how could he hide Consort De and that bastard? "We can't let them see …" Loong Ao asked.    

"As long as they are in the same room together, in addition to the Secret Medicine I developed, even if they are more qualified, they will instantly become wild beasts."    

"Good, very good. Then I'll be troubling High Priest. "I will take care of the rest …" Loong Ao let out a mad laugh, but soon after, he thought to himself with a cold face, "Loong Xuan, just you wait. Very soon you'll know what it means to overestimate yourself. I'll make you beg for death." When the time comes, I'll see how Xueyan protects you. Sooner or later, I'll make her mine. If it wasn't for you, I would have made her fall in love with me. "    

Loong Ao's heart was filled with terrifying jealousy. No one would have thought that he, such a prideful First Prince, had a woman that he couldn't get.
