It didn't take more than a few days for the entire kingdom of the Blue Sea to be engulfed in chaos.
The walls of the capital were temporarily sealed, and all the armies under the rule of the princes were forced to retreat beyond the royal domain.
The second prince settled in the Fortress of the Nine Winds to the northwest, while the third settled in the city of the Crimson Blade to the south.
Both gathered armies of tens of thousands of soldiers.
To cause even more chaos, the third prince announced the marriage of the first princess to the current young master of the Five Colors Pavilion, Jin Tianshi.
This was naturally only possible because of the cancellation of her forr marriage arrangent with Wang Haoran, who had been killed by a mysterious expert many months ago.
Such a decision caused a rift between the third prince and the great sects, who despised the presence of the Gold King Chamber of Comrce branch in the region.
After much infighting, the decision by the major sects to withdraw their support for the third prince echoed like thunder throughout the kingdom.
Naturally, the Eagle Peak Valley also had to ddle in these discussions.
Especially Margareth and ilin, who received requests for support from both princes.
Qingyi, on the other hand, was focusing his mind on sothing else: reaching the Flowing ridian Realm.
It had been about two weeks since they had received an ultimatum from the princes.
During this ti, he had done nothing but dual cultivation with his wives, dedicating more than ten hours a day to ilin and Margareth alone.
He managed to earn just over fifteen billion lust points and advance to the peak of the Ethereal Body realm.
Now, he finally felt ready to advance to the Flowing ridian realm.
Sitting cross-legged, he clicked to improve his cultivation.
Ten billion lust points were wiped from his account, his ridians imdiately being seized by intense pain.
This was one of the final refinents before being considered a true immortal; a tempering of the ridians, widening them and preparing them to be the receptacles of an immortal soul alongside the body.
Naturally, this process was painful, but Qingyi barely reacted. Only faint grunts escaped his lips as he struggled to keep his Qi stable.
During his ti using the system, he had developed an absurd resistance to pain. That kind of suffering was nothing to him anymore.
[Your cultivation has been improved! Third stage of the Ethereal Body realm -> first stage of the Flowing ridian realm].
Qingyi's eyes, firmly closed, suddenly opened. A shockwave spread through the cultivation room in a dry rumble.
"Ah..." He sighed, looking down at his hands and standing up.
After a mont's hesitation, he used his law, the Primordial Chaos Flas.
His hand was imdiately filled with gray flas of extre heat.
Keeping them alight, he carefully controlled them to avoid damaging the cultivation room around him.
After about thirty seconds of this, he finally felt his ridians begin to burn. After fifty seconds, he was forced to stop, sighing heavily.
Fifty seconds was the limit by which he could use that law, at least without suffering damage to his ridians.
After thinking for a brief mont, Qingyi just shook his head and left the cultivation room.
He soon found ilin and Margareth in the city lord's mansion.
"Have you decided?" He asked as he entered the golden-haired beauty's office.
He placed a soft kiss on each of their lips before pulling them onto his lap and sitting down on a sofa in the corner of the office.
His hands went up to the two beauties' breasts, squeezing gently.
"Mghn~~ Yes..." ilin replied. "Both princes make a lot of threats, but honestly, we're surrounded by supporters of the third prince.
If we declare support for the second, we'll be surrounded on all sides.
Besides, the kingdom's sects have switched their support to the second prince. My father has problems with sects, both those here and those in the Empire of the Enlightened Sky. I don't want to help them gain even more power."
"What about your brother?" Qingyi turned his face slightly.
He didn't consider himself a dumb person, but he also knew that in terms of intelligence, he was far from ilin, Margareth or even other wives like Biyue and Ruxue.
So he respected their decision, although he was still a little worried about ilin.
"There's not much you can do. In the end, father's interests are more important. We can deal with him when we have ti."
Hearing those words, Qingyi nodded.
If that was ilin's decision, he would help her and kill whoever stood in her way.
Turning to Margareth, he received basically the sa opinion: the third prince, even at a military disadvantage, was still one of the best choices for them.
The Church of Auranys itself, which had the final say in the matter, also agreed.
The bishop provided around ten holy guards from the cathedral to accompany the force of just over a thousand n that Margareth was able to assemble.
The vast majority of this army was made up of locals who had co for work but had not yet converted.
After another week of preparation, they were finally ready to leave. A large convoy ford around the Burning Red Pavilion.
ilin had already placed an order for weapons and armor since the day she received that ssage, enough to arm an army of ten thousand n.
ilin had already placed an order for weapons and armor since the day she received that ssage, enough to arm an army of ten thousand n.
The price was astronomical, but she paid no attention, preparing a perfect contract for the third prince to sign.
If they won the war, the royal governnt would be responsible for paying back the loan equivalent to the purchase price of the weapons plus interest of thirty-five percent a year.
If they lost, the third prince's private residences could be auctioned off to pay the full amount of the loan.
Since he would be dead if he lost, the third prince had no reason to refuse that contract.
Of course, that wasn't an absolute guarantee. The second prince could simply seize the third prince's residences and refuse to pay, but even in this case, ilin had a solution.
The contract would be signed with the Empire of the Illuminated Sky as the main guarantor that it would be fulfilled, sothing she could easily achieve with her father's help.
With a legally valid contract recognized by such a power, there was nothing the second prince could do...
"I'm a genius, hehehe..." ilin gave a muffled giggle as she rested in Qingyi's embrace in a luxurious carriage.
10:38
"Yes, you are." The handso young man laughed, patting ilin on the butt before turning his face away, realizing that the carriage had started to move.
It was ti for him to finally et the third prince in person.
