Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 320 Turn-Based Succession Struggle

"Eh?"

Jiang Chen, who was playing in the dungeon, and Liu Hua, who was working on a report, were both taken aback.

Then his gaze turned to the southwest.

Such intense energy fluctuations?

wrong?

Where did that inexplicably powerful aura come from?

Although the powerful aura was fleeting, it was still detected by Jiang Chen and Liu Hua.

This location is...
Zhongyu?

Rikka tilted her head and thought for a moment, then decided that work was still the most important thing, as her year-end promotion would depend on this opportunity.

So he immediately put aside all distractions and threw himself into his work without any distractions.

She has a plan.

That is, how exactly should we ensure that customers who come to Disneyland can experience "mental stimulation" while avoiding "spiritual trauma"?

It might be a bit complicated to explain.

The reason is that although the high-end projects at Tesni are exciting.

However, such stimulation is based on the fact that the cultivator's own soul and body have suffered severe trauma.

Is there a way?

How can we allow monks to avoid actual trauma but still experience stimulation?
Rikka firmly believes this.

Once this problem is solved, one's position will surely rise to a higher level.

She already had a vague idea in her mind.
Zhongyu?

Jiang Chen took a sip of milk tea. "Did something happen there?"
"Hmm, I'll check what's going on after I use up the last thirty points of fatigue."

The Purple Gold Dynasty, the Eastern Palace.

Ji Chang crushed the secret letter in his hand into powder, his eyes flashing with a cold light:

"Those old bastards dared to jointly imply that I murdered my father? Very well, if that's the case, then I'll confirm this crime!"

The staff were greatly alarmed upon hearing this:

"Your Highness, please reconsider! Among the ten royal clans, the Xiao and Shi clans have already explicitly supported the First Prince. If you do so now—"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a bone blade wreathed in dragon energy slid out from Ji Chang's sleeve:

"Do you think the Netherworld Guards I've secretly cultivated over the years are just for show?"

With a light slash of the blade, the candlelight in the hall transformed into eerie green will-o'-the-wisps.

The palace maids and guards who had previously appeared harmless suddenly exuded a powerful aura.

While the situation remains unclear, as long as I act quickly enough, it would be perfectly legitimate for me to ascend the throne as the crown prince!
As for the crime of patricide?

Ji Chang didn't care at all!

First of all, he didn't do this!

Secondly, he strongly suspected that Ji Ming, that hypocrite, was behind this, in order to make everyone doubt him.

After all, people might still support a tyrannical monarch.

However, it is unacceptable for a monarch to seize power by killing his father.

This was definitely a charade orchestrated by Ji Ming to weaken my influence!

Meanwhile, at the Crown Prince's residence.

Ji Ming was lost in thought, staring at the nine-dragon jade pendant bestowed upon him by the old emperor, when suddenly a guard rushed to report:

"Your Highness! The Crown Prince has personally led three thousand Netherworld Guards to surround the imperial city, and the Fire Clan Chief has already led his men to block the palace gates!"

"My second brother is still..."

Ji Ming smiled bitterly as he crushed the jade pendant, and nine golden dragon-shaped lights disappeared into the ground.

In an instant, intricate array patterns appeared on the ground of the mansion, and dozens of cultivators wearing star-patterned robes emerged from the ground—these were the "Starfall Guards," a secret technique of the Xiao Clan.

"Uncle Xiao was indeed incredibly insightful."

Ji Ming bowed deeply to the elder in the lead:
"I just didn't expect my second brother to be so impatient, even for tonight."

The old man sneered; this veteran of three dynasties saw things far more deeply than Ji Ming himself.

"He's not impatient; he clearly senses that the current wind direction is extremely unfavorable to him!"

"Taking action now may seem hasty, but it is the best time. Regardless of success or failure, the impact will be within a controllable range."

"If you two brothers are fully prepared and raise your arms to call on your respective forces to engage in a decisive battle, it may even affect the foundation of the dynasty."

"Now."

King Xiao nodded slightly, but chose not to say the last sentence.

Now they're acting hastily.

Neither side was prepared, and the forces they could mobilize were extremely limited.

At most, it will only result in the death of a few direct descendants of either of you; the impact on the dynasty will be negligible.

Even King Xiao couldn't help but admire Ji Chang's decisiveness and ruthlessness.

Unfortunately.
He had placed his bet on the eldest prince.

Moreover, supporting a monarch like Ji Chang, who ascended to the throne by murdering his father, would certainly be a deep disgrace to the ten royal families.

The Zijin Dynasty has a long history and its judgment of the dynasty will not be affected by the change of a monarch.

History has taught them lessons more than once.

Even if Ji Chang comes to power.

His future son, in order to gain a good reputation.

Nine times out of ten, he will expose the scandal of his father's patricide and fratricide, using this act of upholding justice by sacrificing family ties to portray himself as a benevolent monarch.

This has happened more than once in history.

Thunderclouds gathered over the imperial city.

Ji Chang stood on a golden sword, hovering in the air, with the Netherworld Guards surging behind him like a black tide.

When he saw the meteor shower array suddenly light up on the palace walls, he burst into wild laughter:
"Brother, you really did have a backup plan! What a pity—"

"not enough!"

Faced with Ji Chang's arrogant words, King Xiao confidently stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with his back to the table:

"I admit that Your Highness acted decisively, striking at a time when no one expected it. However, the Starfall Array is the pinnacle of my Xiao Clan's array, how can you underestimate it?"

Ji Chang remained silent.

He simply took out his phone and searched:
How can the Meteorite Array be broken?

Connor.

Her real name is Kanna Kamui.

She was born into the renowned Dragon Clan of the Western Fantasy Continent.

According to Connor.

It was a world of demonic energy, devoid of flashy and vibrant spiritual energy; all that existed was magic, cultivated to its peak!
of course.

Ji Lin was not interested in these things.

But he knew that this little guy, who looked only eleven or twelve years old, was actually a giant lizard that had lived for over seven thousand years.

Moreover, it has a tearing space.

A means of summoning monsters from another world.

The reason I came to the Spirit Continent.

This is because this dragon "child" befriended the humans of the Western Fantasy Continent and successfully gained admission to the magic academy.

In the end, by sheer accident, he actually comprehended powerful spatial magic that only humans could master.

Finally, relying on the powerful magic inherent in the dragon race, she successfully broke through the spatial barrier and arrived at the Spirit Continent.

After arriving here, she made a friend who was herself, the third prince of the Purple Gold Dynasty.

And they were willing to help him ascend the throne.

The only price is the hope that Ji Lin can plan out a territory on the Spirit Continent so that their dragon race can thrive there.

Laughing~
Ji Lin sneered inwardly.

Having witnessed the immense power of this giant lizard, he had already made up his mind.

After his rebellion succeeded, the first thing he needed to do was kill the little girl!
Are you kidding me?
I'm already the emperor, why would I need to listen to you?

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, which emperor could tolerate having someone by his side who could summon endless monsters with a flick of their wrist?

The reason he previously spread rumors that he had no intention of vying for the throne was essentially just to extricate himself from the struggle for the throne.

His frequent visits to brothels were merely a cover, a way to secretly accumulate power.

As the third child.

In terms of popularity and seniority, he is no match for his elder brother.

In terms of talent and lineage, he is no match for his second brother.

To win.

Only by keeping a low profile and waiting for the perfect opportunity can one deliver a fatal blow to one's two older brothers!
Ji Lin even used almost all of his salary for eating, drinking, and having fun.

He desperately wanted someone to see through his disguise and reveal his true colors.

But he never expected that he was just "pretending to be decadent," while the court officials and the ten royal families all thought he was a real good-for-nothing.

In addition, the old emperor had already planned to make his eldest brother the crown prince.

Ji Lin was about to give up when Connor's appearance gave his grand plan a turning point.

A high-level dragon clan slumber formation actually caused the old emperor to fall into a deep sleep for more than half a month.

You ask why no one woke him up?
Is it because the methods of the Spirit Continent are inferior to those of the Western Fantasy Continent?
No.

It's because someone doesn't want him to wake up.

At least the three princes currently hope that the old emperor will continue to sleep.

I saw Ji Lin smiling broadly.

Connor didn't say anything, but simply gave him a thumbs up without any expression.

Connor. A genius in both magic and martial arts, on whom the Dragon Clan placed high hopes.

Her harmless demeanor is merely a protective facade.

Connor licked the crumbs of pastry from his fingertips, a hint of world-weariness, not belonging to a child, flashing in his emotionless vertical pupils.

In their Western Fantasy Continent, dragons have always been revered, and humans were originally just desserts for dragons.
Initially, humans huddled in desolate wasteland towns, barely surviving under the might of dragons.

But everything.

Things changed after they established the Magic Guild.

Humans initially worshipped dragons as their primary deity.

And they continuously learned the low-level magic that the dragons looked down upon.

But none of the dragons expected this.

These humans actually improved those extremely rudimentary spells, gradually developing spells that were more suitable for humans and more powerful.

Before the dragons could react, the human race reversed its fate with three revolutionary reforms.

They broke down magic into standardized "magic element units," so even farmers could use planting runes to grow magical wheat that yielded tens of thousands of kilograms per acre.

Once precious magical potions can now be mass-produced in tons on assembly lines.

When the first ancient dragon was torn apart by a magical mech piloted by a mortal, the dragon race was shocked to discover that the human race had compiled the "Dragon Slaying Technique" into a "Basic Combat Manual".

Those god-slaying cannons, inlaid with dragon crystals, are now aimed at the sky where the former ruler once stood.

no doubt.

Humans have already treated the dragons as a hypothetical enemy, and in fact, that's exactly what they've been doing.

The deadliest human pope has launched the hybrid program.

Allowing humans and dragons to interbreed and produce dragon-people undoubtedly further accelerates the infiltration of the noble bloodline of the dragons by humans!

Meanwhile, the human race's mage leader advocates the concept of equality among all races.

They let elves and dwarves partner up to run a magic bank, and even crude creatures like goblins could become teachers at the magic academy.

The bill on "appointing the virtuous and capable" was introduced.

To further expand the influence of the human race in the Western Fantasy Continent.

Think of this.

Connor's little hands were clasped tightly together. Her uncles, dissatisfied with the expansion of human power, had driven out the engineering team that attempted to develop the mines in their territory.

As a result, they were captured by the powerful human mechs and accused of "obstructing the civilization process of the Western Fantasy Continent".

He was eventually put on the gallows.

Humans hanging dragons?

This would have been unimaginable five hundred years ago!

Furthermore, the Human Pope recently promulgated a "Special Anti-Dragon Law".

They indicated that they would forcibly extract the dragon marrow from those evil dragons for the energy of human mechs and implant anti-magic chips to transform them into "dragon-shaped war weapons".

This is utterly outrageous!

The dragon wanted to rebel!

However, the human race carries an overwhelming momentum, and the elves, dwarves, berserkers, and other races have all formed a community of interests with the human race, so that a change in one will have a ripple effect.

The dragon race is strong, but not strong enough to face all the races of the Western Fantasy Continent.

Fortunately
Connor's fingernails, which had been digging until they bled, relaxed slightly.

Having fully mastered spatial magic, she did not disappoint her people.

Instead of being torn to pieces by the spatial turbulence, she successfully arrived at a continent rich in "spiritual energy".

The high-level cultivators here possess strength no less than that of the Ancient Red Dragon, the "Unexpected Calamity" of the Western Fantasy Continent.

Even stronger!

And he also happened to get to know the approval of the third prince of the Purple Gold Dynasty, the only dynasty on the Spirit Qi Continent.

As long as we help him seize the throne.

The dragon race's worries will be resolved immediately!
He could then have Ji Lin send him a powerful army, allowing the dragon race to overthrow the human race's rule in the Western Fantasy Continent.

He could ask Ji Lin to carve out a territory for him, or if that didn't work, he could use spatial magic to slowly transfer the dragons one by one to the Spirit Continent.

of course.

She knew, of course, that Ji Lin wouldn't obediently listen to her.

Connor's vertical pupils rippled with a deep blue light as he looked at Ji Lin, who also harbored ill intentions, and sneered inwardly.

Do you think my dragon contract is a joke?
that's it.

The two scheming individuals have at least superficially reached an agreement to cooperate.

And not far from them.

A man surnamed Jiang quietly put away his phone, which had been recording the entire process.

Grass!
Watching Ji Chang find a way to break the great formation.

King Xiao panicked.

How the hell is this right?

The Meteorite Array was a unique array technique that his ancestor personally researched and developed after visiting the former sect master of the Divine Array Sect in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

How could Ji Chang have found a way to break the formation in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?

Watching Ji Chang direct the Netherworld Guards to methodically pull out the array flags and destroy the array's core, King Xiao's heart was bleeding!
Ji Chang, on the other side, was secretly pleased with himself.

"King Xiao, is this the mountain-guarding formation you're so proud of? I think it's nothing special. It's not even as good as a single stick from Daoist Zilong."

fortunately.

I left Zhongyu a few days ago and obtained a super-powerful treasure like a mobile phone.

Otherwise, I would really be helpless against this formation.

Just as Ji Ming was about to break through the formation.

"Haha~"

Ji Ming didn't rush; instead, he laughed.

Ji Chang frowned:

"What are you laughing at, brother?"

"Why am I laughing?"

Ji Ming crossed his arms and looked at Ji Ming with the expression one would use to look at a clown.

"I laughed at my second brother for being a bit naive. Did you really think that your older brother doesn't have a cell phone?"

He finished speaking without giving Ji Ming a chance to react.

Ji Ming waved his hands repeatedly.

He rearranged dozens of prefabricated magic arrays.

"Haha! Second brother, try this Heaven-Rank Array Compass that I just ordered from the Heavenly Array Sect's little yellow cart!"

Grass!
Now it was Ji Chang's turn to break through.

so?

In Ji Ming's eyes, wasn't his self-righteous behavior just pure clownish antics?!

I immediately searched on my phone for how to crack the Heavenly Rank Array Compass.

Meanwhile, everyone else was completely dumbfounded.

First, the Crown Prince launched a surprise attack.

As it turned out, the eldest prince and Prince Xiao had already prepared a battle formation.

As a result, the Crown Prince suddenly became a grandmaster of formations, and actually broke the Xiao Clan's top-level formation with ease.

It was clear that the eldest prince was about to be defeated.

As a result, he unleashed dozens of array formations with his bare hands.

Can this be right?

They seem to have mentioned a cell phone. What is this cell phone? Is it the glowing magic device they have?
It's not that people from the Central Region are unsophisticated.

Rather, it's because these gentlemen disdain understanding the changes outside.

They were even unwilling to trade with the Eight Regions, because the Central Region had always been the most prosperous place.

Everyone in the Central Region, including some middle and even lower-ranking members of the royal family, knows about mobile phones.

Only those of high status present at the scene were completely unaware of this.

In a sense, this is also a kind of information cocoon.

"Huh? A formation-breaking flag? This is great!"

Having found what he wanted in the Tianzhen Sect's yellow tricycle, Ji Chang's face once again wore a confident smile, and he directly used the Breaking Formation Flag to forcibly break the formation.

The scene froze for a moment.

This was the scene that Jiang Chen, who rushed over, saw.

Someone used their mobile phone to buy formation plates from those major formation sects on Douyin.

The other one immediately bought special formation-breaking flags from these sects.

Even though Ji Ming later became smarter and didn't tell Ji Chang which sect he bought the array plate from, it was still useless.

Because Ji Chang immediately filmed the formation and posted it on Douyin (TikTok), with the title:
I bet you guys don't recognize this formation!

As a result, knowledgeable people in the comments section quickly told him what kind of formation it was, where it came from, and what its origin was.

It's crazy.

"no."

The two fought from nightfall until dawn was about to break.

King Xiao was speechless.

"Hey, can you guys come up with a different laning strategy? I'm really tired of seeing it."

Jiang Chen, who was secretly playing DNF, nodded subconsciously:

"Indeed, it's so boring, it feels like a turn-based card game."

"By the way, speaking of turn-based card games, could the cultivation world create a game exactly like Yu-Gi-Oh! from the anime?"
