You could see thousands of black warships ahead when you held up your head.
Those warships were all festooned with war flags of a black dragon with five claws. Like moving dark clouds covering the sky, the gloomy flags seemed so heavy they could stifle you. A giant evil dragon loomed large out of the clouds of flags, stretching his claws and showing its fangs, which was extremely terrifying.
“Your Graces, My Master Eldest Prince, I am the Chief of the Mo Ke Fleet Team Jin Shouzhi.”
Across on the black warship, a giant of thirty feet—whose power had attained the Martial Sage level and with a voice like thunder—was in a half kneeling posture like a stone.
“What’s the matter?” Ding Shengtan asked, raising his hand.
“Your Grace Eldest Prince returned triumphant. The news has already spread to the Capital and the 13th Prince asked me to bring the first batch of awards to the three forces,” Jin Shouzhi said respectfully.
“How dare you! My Big Brother is the eldest of the God’s princes and has accumulated incomparable merits. It is reasonable for the God, our father, to confer the reward. How could the youngest 13th prince do that! What the h*ll is he! F**k off! Don’t disturb us!” the 8th prince said sharply, leaving no face for the envoy.
Still, Ding Shengtan shook his hand and head slightly, appearing to have already found out something wrong. He smiled and said, “Jin Shouzhi, you are my old colleague from the God’s Palace. Don’t beat around the bush. I won’t embarrass you. You had better let the 13th prince himself speak to us.”
On the other side.
Jin Shouzhi’s face changed suddenly, seemingly hesitant to say something.
At the moment, a laugh pierced the silence and a spiral of black smog drifted from behind.
The black smog condensed and formed a slim silhouette who was a young man of 20 or so. He had narrow and long eyebrows, thin lips and a white face that was seemingly powdered. He hunched his back a little and said, “Big Brother’s power has indeed improved. You can tell my whereabouts at one glance… Haha, how do you do Big Brother?”
“Is it you, the youngest 13th? Why are you here, instead of staying in the Capital?” exclaimed the 8th prince.
The youngest 13th didn’t look at him; he kept staring at Ding Shengtan.
Ding Shengtan appeared to find something when he looked at the surrounding sky and earth, including the fleet of the Mo’s facing them. He nodded slightly and said peacefully with a sigh, “13th brother, you made a big mistake since you maneuvered the army of the God’s Palace on your own and blocked my way. If you stop now, considering our brotherhood, I won’t blame you.”
The 13th prince Ding Jiuxing acted as if he had not heard that sentence. He smiled and said, “Congratulations, Big Brother, I’m glad to hear that my beautiful sister-in-law has given birth to your daughter, the future princess.”
“Since you’re a gentleman, why are you planning to act like a bandit?” Ding Shengtan sighed and shook his head.
The 13th prince Ding Jiuxing still put on a smile. He said, “Don’t you want to see your daughter, Big Brother? It’s a very smart little one!”
At the same time, others also gleaned something special from their conversation.
It wasn’t quite normal.
Had the 13th prince set up a trap?
The faces of 8th, the 4th and the 3th princes scowled at once, especially the 8th prince. He said angrily, “Youngest brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean?”
Ding Shengtan waved his hand as a gesture to calm their anger. He looked at the other side and nodded, saying, “Well, bring her here, let me see her.”
The 13th prince smiled and said, “I know you would make that choice. Subordinates…”
He waved at his men as he spoke.
From the cabin just behind him came out a line of soldiers in black armor, of whom the leader was a strong man. He had reached the Martial Grand Emperor state, who held a shining ball with the same color and luster as that of jade. It could faintly be seen that a newly-born baby girl was inside it. She was covered in the light and was sleeping soundly, as beautiful and lovely as a fairy from legend.
Inside this gorgeous girl flowed the noble blood of an extraordinary ancestry.
The faces of all the people present changed, including the 8th prince’s.
“It can’t be fake, since the baby’s blood is too pure. Is it really true that this little girl is Big Brother’s child?
“What on earth happened in the Capital?
“Why did the youngest 13th prince have the baby?”
It didn’t make sense, given that there were too many martial arts masters at the God’s mansion and even the noble Lady Yu Qingcheng herself was one of the top 10 strongest masters who had reached the Martial Grand Emperor state. How could that aristocratic baby roam about the mansion?
How could the Lady permit other people to take her own child and parade it at the frontlines?
So…
An ominous foreboding surged in everyone’s hearts.
“Look at closely, my Big Brother, isn’t she lovely? Uh-huh, it’s no wonder that the God’s blood runs in her veins. She’s so beautiful… nature has endowed her with all the charms of the universe. Baby, everyone loves you, don’t you know?” As his eyes skimmed over her face, the beautiful girl suddenly woke up and cried loudly, as if deeply frightened.
Ding Shengtan said with a peaceful face, “Youngest 13th brother, I’m giving you one last chance, stop now.”
“What are you talking about, my Big Brother?” the 13th prince smiled and replied, “Are you too confident or am I too naive? I have spent so much time arranging the trap made for this day. How can I stop all this just because of your words?”
“The God Emperor position is not to my taste. Since the God has been training you and sooner or later you will be the Emperor of the God’s Palace, why are you taking such extreme measures?” Ding Shengtan’s eyes showed pity for him and he sighed.
“That’s right. The position will be mine one day. However, I don’t want to see such an obnoxious fellow like you in the God’s Palace when I become the king. You are more appealing, more popular, more powerful and more supported, and even your son is more talented than mine… Ah, as long as you give an order, even if I rise to power, I would still have to obey you. Right?”
