Master of Untold Daos Chapter 409 - Compete then Eat! And You’ll Never Go Cold!

Chapter 409: Compete then Eat! And You’ll Never Go Cold!

Though I can’t beat him in a straight-up fight, or match to him.

Chen Ming was aware of the friction between Ninth and Second. He reached out, “Second Crown Prince, a word if I may.”

When he entered the carriage, Chen Ming asked, “Second Crown Prince, do you know who is the opponent this time?”

“Sage, what are you implying?”

Chen Ming smiled, “In front of little monk, you needn’t tell lies. Second Crown Prince must have forgotten, this might be my first trip outside, however, I can scry.”

Second could no longer conceal his heart and erected a soundproofing array, “Only one can be Emperor and nine Crown Princes are vying for it. The most promising are Crown Prince, Ninth Crown Prince, and myself.”

Chen Ming smiled, “Can Second Crown Prince’s talent outmatch Ninth Crown Prince’s?”

Second’s eyes flashed with anger, yet also a disappointment, “His talent is leagues above mine.”

For them to talk about this, Second was certain Chen Ming had a way to help. He gave a low bow, “Please teach me, Sage!”

“Crown Prince and Second Crown Prince’s hope comes from the power you hold through retainers. Ninth Crown Prince, however, relies on talent. Before Crown Prince loses his power, Second Crown Prince and Ninth Crown Prince have no reason to fight.”

“Second Crown Prince will fight with his influence and Ninth Crown Prince with his talent in the future. Therefore, Second Crown Prince has to gather more power; greater power offers greater dominance. In the meantime, if Second Crown Prince were to unite with Ninth Crown Prince in defeating Crown Prince, his fall will mark the transfer of his power to the imposing and meticulous Second Crown Prince. They will do this by their own will. What hope would Ninth Crown Prince have then?”

Second was filled with shock, Yeah, why are I and ninth brother fighting? His best hope of becoming Emperor is thanks to his talent, something I can’t compare! My target needs to be Crown Prince!

With Crown Prince’s defeat, his power will be mine, not something Ninth Crown Prince can resist!

Second Crown Prince clasped his hands, “Sage’s insight is like a torch, waking me from my illusions! I have returned on the righteous path.”

“Good deeds.”

“Yet I have offended ninth brother. How can I make amends?”

“I will use my name to help Second Crown Prince. Release the array.”

The two came out, with Chen Ming beginning, “I, Sage Ran Zui, am yet to have enough prestige to make Heavenly Court’s Emperor come in person. If not for Second Crown Prince, I wouldn’t even go to the banquet.”

Ninth got his meaning, Imperial Father was wrong. With how great Sage Ran Zui’s name is, he instead sent me to welcome him. If not for second brother’s words, my task would’ve failed.

Ninth sent a grateful glance Second’s way and reached out, “Sage Ran Zui, please!”

Chen Ming walked ahead and the two princes abreast behind. Ninth cupped his hands to Second, “Thank you, second brother, for before.”

Second was elated, Sage Ran Zui is uncanny and adept in the art of diplomacy! A few words turned this around.

Second’s words held care, “No need to mind it, ninth brother. You have always focused on cultivation and it must come hard to meet such people without making mistakes. As your elder, helping you is a given. If you insist on thanking me, it will tarnish our brotherhood! You needn’t give thanks each time.”

Ninth was in glee, Thank G.o.d to second brother! I kept hearing of second brother’s care for his brothers. This proves it!

Chen Ming walked ahead and the two hurried behind. Chen Ming asked, “Where is Headless a.s.sembly’s priest?”

Ninth exclaimed, “Sage Ran Zui won’t attend the banquet first?”

Chen Ming smiled, “When I return with victory, the lamp shall still be warm. I shall partake this meal after winning!”

My role is that of an expert and need to play the part. For instance, a G.o.d of War needed to embrace his military duties to full. We should all learn from him!

Ever since Chen Ming made an appearance, many cultivators were there to see him, and listen, Hear, hear, is that how a human talks?

“Sage Ran Zui must be confident!”

“His arrogance is insane!”

“His age is small, yet his mouth sharp!

Ninth and Second exchanged a glance and the later felt Chen Ming’s conduct was earnest, “Alright, then I ask of Sage to compete with Zhan Tianyang!”

Ninth heard him and, recalling his previous help, he spoke, “I shall go and invite the princes to watch the fight! They will bear witness.”

Ninth left and Second eased next to Chen Ming, “Sage, you are certain of victory?”

“When it comes to divining, to win one must force the enemy to act!”

“How?”

“That is secret.” He sad vaguely, keeping up his air of mystery.

Chen Ming was thinking, If I want to win just based on skill alone, I will need to squander all merits on the useless Heavenly Imperial Dao Cannon. Such loss is unbearable.

Sigh, again meeting problems brawn can’t settle. I’ll have to use my brain.

Second led him to a garret where he prepared him a seat, “Please wait for a moment, Sage, while I will bring Headless a.s.sembly’s priest to meet his death!”

Chen Ming sat in peace when he saw a fiend Immortal King in the hall bellow, Bian Canw.a.n.g. His heart beat with a sa.s.sy tune.

Got it!

Even with your divine skill in scrying, nothing will beat a good show.

There were princes all over, Great Immortal Domains’ princes and fiends’ princes, while Headless a.s.sembly’s sent a Relentless to survey the match.

He was the upper echelon of Inevitable and Headless’ direct subordinate.

Each Relentless could make immortals scream in terror at night and stop children’s cries dead in their tracks. And that still fell short to the horror his name spread.

Such words were a direct affront to a Relentless.

Headless a.s.sembly had ever been an enigma, and people could only guess what a Relentless was. Yet his first step into the hall echoed with instant silence, a sign of the horrors he brought.
