As the smoke dissipated, Jiang Han remained as pristine as snow, not a speck of dust touching him.
Seeing Fu Qingchen dead, a glimmer of despair flashed in the Eighth Prince's eyes. Beneath that ashen expression lay an uncontrollable shock. The reason he had the confidence to seek trouble with Manichaeism was because of Fu Qingchen, the powerful ally who followed him. Now that Fu Qingchen was dead, all he had left were incompetent subordinates, and his hopes of seizing the throne seemed extremely bleak, almost entirely extinguished.
A look of confusion appeared in his eyes; he was at a loss for what to do. He had just gained the authority to establish a government and was ready to make grand plans when he was struck hard, losing his support. Now, he found himself trapped, escaping had become a luxury!
"Kid, we’re all going to take you on one by one, and you still dare to let your guard down? Tsk tsk tsk..." Taking advantage of the moment when the Eighth Prince was distracted, Tang Yang launched a fierce attack, landing a punch on the Eighth Prince's waist and sending him flying.
After speaking, Tang Yang continued his relentless assault, each move more vicious than the last.
"Poof!" The Eighth Prince spat out a mouthful of blood.
This is both a wound and a source of anger!
Manichaeism truly is a demonic cult, showing no regard for face. Before I could finish explaining the Jianghu Rules of one-on-one combat, the other party rushed in all at once, claiming that "one-on-one means we all fight you alone, while you face us all." How shameless!
"Old Tang, stop wasting words and quickly capture him."
Acting with caution is Yang Xiao's principle; he would never allow carelessness on his part to give the opponent an opportunity to turn the tide. The other side is from an ancient nation, especially a prince of the Great Zhou, and no one knows how many hidden cards he has up his sleeve. He must not be careless, or he could end up in disgrace.
If it were truly a one-on-one fight, none of them would be a match for the Eighth Prince. The opponent has far too many tricks up their sleeve. Jiang Han did not make a move; he merely watched Yang Xiao and the others act, prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
Finally, the Eighth Prince was exhausted and captured by Yang Xiao and the others, his internal energy sealed.
"Reporting to the leader, what do you intend to do with this Eighth Prince?"
Yang Xiao knelt on one knee, seeking Jiang Han's opinion. The Great Zhou is a colossal force; if they kill the Eighth Prince, it would create a deep-seated enmity! It would be an irreconcilable conflict. Such an act of humiliation would not be easily tolerated by the Great Zhou Royal Family, even if they are currently pressuring Western Chu.
"But what if we don't kill him? How should we deal with him then? We can't just hand him over, can we? That would be ridiculous!"
"Let's just kill him!" Tang Yang spat and said, "If the Great Zhou comes knocking, we can deny everything. They wouldn't dare turn against us."
Yang Xiao glared at him and retorted, "Do you think the Great Zhou is that easy to fool? The Great Zhou has stood strong for so many years, even Buddhism and Daoism give them face. Their strength and foundation are evident."
The Great Zhou is not like the Western Chu, which has been weak for hundreds of years. The Great Zhou has stood for thousands of years; there has never been a time when they were heard to be weak.
Currently, the general consensus in the martial world is that, relative to its long history, the situation of the Great Zhou is quite stable—not thriving, but certainly not weak.
In recent centuries, aside from the White Lotus Sect occasionally testing the waters with the Great Zhou, which other martial sects have dared to show their claws against them?
"Hmph! I am the most favored prince by my father. You better treat me with respect and send me back to the Great Zhou. Otherwise, my Ancestor Sect will be furious and ensure that not a single one of you Manichaeism will be left standing!" The Eighth Prince declared pompously.
In truth, he had no confidence that his Ancestor Sect would intervene because of this matter.
The current ruler, Great Zhou Emperor Ji Haoran, has mediocre governance skills and his own cultivation is abysmally poor! Despite expending vast resources, he has only managed to elevate his cultivation to the Innate Fifth Realm.
However, Ji Haoran possesses an unmatched advantage: his ability to father children, particularly sons, which is truly impressive. Ji Haoran has over one hundred and twenty sons and countless daughters. Among these sons, nine are especially renowned, referred to as the "Nine Dragons" by people in the martial world. Each of these nine sons has already reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm at a young age.
His other daughters have been married off strategically to win over his officials and form alliances with various sects, greatly enhancing the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because of Ji Haoran's remarkable fertility, his throne and status are solidly secured, earning him the favor of the royal family and clans of Great Zhou.
It is often said that a wife gains status through her children, but in many ways, it can also be said that a father gains status through his sons. However, due to Ji Haoran's numerous offspring, the struggle for succession has become increasingly fierce. The Eighth Prince is uncertain whether his father would go so far as to summon the Ancestors to support him.
