"What exactly is the Third Prince up to?" Xing Chen thought more and more confused. No matter how he considered it, he couldn't understand what the Third Prince was trying to accomplish.
"Yuer, what do you think the Third Prince is really after?" Xing Chen asked, turning his gaze to Yuer beside him.
"He probably wants to take this opportunity to unite all the forces in the city," Yuer said, frowning slightly as she thought. Many powerful factions had come to this city, but overall, these forces could be divided into four groups: the Azure Cloud Gang, the Eastern Sun Gang, the royal family, and the Zhang Family. As for other factions, they either depended on these forces or were reinforcements for one of these four major powers.
"I see. It seems that the Third Prince has ambition, but his vision is rather shortsighted," Xing Chen said with a faint cold smile. Although the Third Prince had ambition, he had not recognized the current situation.
Even though they could still dominate the situation in Star City, once the strong from the Yang Spirit Realm arrived, those of them in the Soul Refinement Realm would no longer have any power. So, no matter how well he calculated now, it would be impossible for him to achieve his desires.
"Young Master Chen, should we go or not?" Yuer asked.
"Of course we should go. I'm quite curious about what tricks the Third Prince is playing," Xing Chen replied, looking at the invitation in his hand with a mysterious smile.
Three hours passed quickly, and during this time, Chen Li also sent back news that the Headquarters planned to send reinforcements from Sunset Hall to support Starry Branch. However, it would take some time for people from Sunset Hall to arrive here.
In these three hours, many powerful factions had also appeared in Star City, and quite a few forces allied with the Azure Cloud Gang had arrived. The Zhang Family's Zhang Yifan had also reappeared, but it was unclear whether any strong individuals from the Sword Sect had come to reinforce them.
"Young Master Chen, are we really going to the Ye Family?" In Starry Branch, Yuer looked at Xing Chen again and asked.
"The Ye Family isn't some den of tigers and dragons; what do we have to be afraid of?" Xing Chen glanced at Yuer and said lightly, "Let's go! I'm curious about what the Third Prince intends to do this time."
With that, Xing Chen took Yuer and left Starry Branch, heading toward the Ye Family.
As soon as they exited their branch, Yuer spotted members of the Eastern Sun Gang approaching. They were not coming to visit Starry Branch, but needed to pass through it on their way to the Ye Family.
"Oh, hello, Young Master Chen! Are you also heading to the Ye Family?" Xu Yuxi said with a teasing tone as he looked at Xing Chen.
"I was specifically waiting for you," after a moment of surprise, Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and replied casually.
"Oh? Then may I ask what instructions you have for me, Young Master Chen?" Xu Yuxi said with a smile, while behind him, Luo Tong shot a resentful glare at Xing Chen.
"I want you to kill him; I don't like the way he looks at me." Xing Chen pointed at Luo Tong behind Xu Yuxi and said.
"Sure!" Xu Yuxi replied with a light laugh, then pointed at Yuer beside Xing Chen and said, "How about you kill her in exchange?"
"Heh..." Xing Chen shook his head with a smile and walked forward, while Xu Yuxi also smiled and continued walking ahead.
"Are you ready? This matter could very well be a trigger." On the way, Xu Yuxi turned to look at Xing Chen and said slowly.
"There’s still some time; no need to rush." Xing Chen replied calmly. This situation could indeed easily become the catalyst for chaos in Star City, but as long as the strong from the Yang Spirit Realm had not arrived, the situation was still under his control.
"Just make sure you're prepared in advance. After all, plans can't keep up with changes; if anything goes wrong, we must be ready to retreat at any moment," Xu Yuxi said.
"Mm," Xing Chen nodded without saying much. Although Yuer and Luo Tong behind them heard their conversation, they completely did not understand what it meant.
Soon, they arrived at the Ye Family, where many leaders of other factions had already gathered.
"This must be the new Helmsman of Starry Branch? I am the head of the Yun Family from Absolute Cloud City; I've long admired the name of Helmsman Xing Chen." A middle-aged man stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Xing Chen.
"Yun Family Head is too kind; I have no great reputation compared to you," Xing Chen replied lightly. The Yun Family from Absolute Cloud City was one of the forces affiliated with Azure Cloud Gang, and their overall strength was quite formidable. Although they did not have any strong individuals from the Yang Spirit Realm, they had several Soul Realm Pinnacle experts.
"Hehe, Helmsman Xing Chen is truly humble. How could the second Closed-Door Disciple of Yun Qing, the Leader of the Qingyun Gang, be lacking?" Yun Family Head laughed and invited Xing Chen inside.
"Tch, quite prestigious indeed; someone came out to greet him right away," Xu Yuxi remarked with a curl of her lip as she saw Yun Family Head continuously flattering Xing Chen.
"Sister, should we take action against him when we leave?" Luo Tong said with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes as she spoke beside Xu Yuxi.
"You better watch your mouth," Xu Yuxi glanced at Luo Tong and said slowly. After that, she walked toward Xing Chen and sat at the same table with him.
"Hey, which Third Prince called everyone here? What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Yuxi asked Xing Chen.
"Basically, it's about uniting everyone to deal with the Zhang Family and then finding a grand reason to directly invade Sword Kingdom. That way, we can monitor the Sword Sect at any time. When the Divine Weapon of the Sword Sect is truly completed, they can seize it immediately. We are merely pawns being used by them," Xing Chen said as he slightly raised his eyelids and spoke slowly.
"Since you know this so well, why come here?" Xu Yuxi asked with some confusion.
"I came to watch the excitement, is that a problem?" Xing Chen glanced at Xu Yuxi and said calmly.
Hearing Xing Chen's words, Xu Yuxi felt speechless. At a time like this, only Xing Chen could casually mention coming to watch the excitement.
"Everyone, the reason I called you all here today is to discuss how to deal with the Zhang Family." At this moment, Ye Wusheng, the head of the Ye Family, stepped forward alongside the Third Prince of the royal family, who stood before everyone and spoke loudly.
"I believe everyone is already aware that the Zhang Family has allied with the Sword Sect?" The Third Prince continued, "This move by the Zhang Family is undoubtedly a betrayal of our Sun Kingdom. In such a situation, our royal family will not tolerate it. However, due to the powerful reinforcements sent by the Sword Sect, the strength of the Zhang Family has greatly increased. Therefore, relying solely on my own power is no longer sufficient to contend with them; we must join forces to completely eliminate this malignant tumor known as the Zhang Family."
"The Third Prince is right. Although our Li Family is not a major force, we agree with the Third Prince's plan and are willing to assist him in eliminating this tumor known as the Zhang Family." At this moment, a man stood up and spoke loudly.
However, none of those present were simple individuals; they could naturally see that this Li Family was clearly a faction dependent on the royal family, which explained their eagerness. Those who recognized this were all indifferent, quietly watching the Third Prince in front of them.
Seeing that everyone below was unresponsive, the Third Prince couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly and continued, "I believe everyone understands the strength of the Sword Sect better than I do. Even if all of us here join forces, we cannot contend with them. Fortunately, they have only deployed a portion of their strength to support the Zhang Family. With this portion of their strength, we can still manage to overcome it together."
"Then what does the Third Prince want us to do?" At this moment, another person stood up and asked.
This person was clearly also a pawn because among those present, aside from factions aligned with the royal family, the rest were affiliated with the Azure Cloud Gang and Eastern Sun Gang. These individuals would definitely not express their stance without orders from Xing Chen and Xu Yuxi.
