Chapter 223 The Beginning and End of the Fall of the Zhao Royal Family

"Beiyuan Immortal Race ()"

Zhao Liang's grandfather was Emperor Lie's eldest son, while Zhao Gongzi's grandfather was Emperor Lie's sixth son.

After Zhao Liang joined the royal family, Wang Daoyuan also asked him how the Zhao royal family was so powerful back then, how it was beaten down by the three major sects.

The power left by Emperor Lie's eldest son has completely disappeared, and there will be no one to support Zhao Liang, but some people will want to kill him, or use him as a guise to do things.

Naturally, he didn't want to be involved in the affairs of the Zhao royal family, and just wanted to be an ordinary member of the royal family.

He didn't take Zhao's secret seriously. When Wang Daoyuan asked, he told everything about that year.

At that time, there was a large beast tide in the Tianzhan Mountains, which was rare in ten thousand years. More than 90% of the masters of the Zhao family were sent to the vicinity of the Tianzhan Mountains to resist the monsters.

Although the beast tide was defeated, the losses of the Zhao family's masters were also extremely huge.

The Jindan cultivator sent out lost more than 60%, and the Zifu cultivator lost about 70%.

Jindan and Zifu of other affiliated families also suffered more than half of the casualties.

Taking this opportunity, the three major sects colluded with some ambitious nobles, cooperated internally and externally, and attacked the capital of Zhao State.

There were too few left-behind personnel in the Zhao family. The three major sects had their hearts and minds, and with the help of inner ghosts, they successfully captured the capital of Zhao State, took down the Zhao family's nest, and killed the remaining Zhao family masters.

Emperor Zhao Lie also died on the spot, and only a few cultivators from the Zifu escaped.

Although the Zhao family's masters suffered great losses, the remaining clansmen, combined with the affiliated forces, still far outperformed the three major sects.

As long as the masters of the Zhao family and the affiliated forces unite as one, they can completely destroy the three major sects.

But the question is who will be the emperor of Zhao and command the heroes.

Emperor Lie had many sons, three of whom were capable of competing for the throne.

They are the first prince, the sixth prince, and the ninth prince.

The eldest prince is thoughtful, proficient in power, broad-minded, very visionary, and has an excellent reputation.

In addition, he is the eldest son, and he is an excellent heir to the throne.

But the eldest prince also has two major flaws, one is that his mother was born from a bad background, and the other is that his cultivation talent is not good.

Although the eldest prince's mother was Emperor Lie's main palace queen, she was born in a loose cultivator, and there was no mother's power to borrow.

The eldest prince's cultivation talent is actually considered to be first-class. For ordinary forces, it is completely no problem to become the heir.

But the Zhao royal family is not an ordinary force, it is only a high-level talent, and it cannot convince everyone at all.

The most important point is that the eldest prince has no water roots.

The direct lineage of the Zhao family is water-attribute exercises, and the secret technique at the bottom of the press box is Guishui Shenlei.

The eldest prince could not cultivate his own direct lineage, and within the royal family, most people did not support him.

And the sixth prince has a very high water attribute spiritual root, which is said to be very close to the heavenly spiritual root.

Cultivating the inheritance of the Zhao family's direct line, the cultivation base has progressed rapidly, and the attainments of Guishui Shenlei are also very high.

Most of the masters of the Zhao royal family support the sixth prince.

It's just that the sixth prince is insidious, ruthless, and short-sighted, and most forces outside the royal family despise him.

The ninth prince is a low-key person, not showing off the mountains or leaking water, but he is extremely capable in his work.

His main spiritual root is also water spiritual root. Although his talent is worse than that of the sixth prince, he is stronger than the first prince.

The most important thing is that the mother family of the ninth prince is the Heyang Shi family, the founding father family, which is extremely powerful.

At that time, the Zhao family's forces were divided into three major factions.

The eldest prince is supported by most small and medium-sized forces, as well as a small number of royal forces.

Although the Wang family did not have a clear line in the past, they had the best relationship with the eldest prince.

The Sixth Prince is supported by most of the royal family, as well as a few speculative forces.

For example, Guiyuan Jianzong, when the site was not far from the Wang family, was overwhelmed by the Wang family, so he supported the sixth prince, wanted to be the minister of the dragon, and took the opportunity to suppress the Wang family.

The ninth prince relies on the relationship of his mother's family to get the support of the vast majority of high-level nobles.

If Emperor Zhao Lie died in battle, if the three major factions can work together,

Defeating the three major sects is not a problem.

But the three major factions all want to push the prince they support to the throne, and they are all uncooperative with each other.

Fortunately, the three princes were not stupid yet, and they did not rashly claim to be emperors, avoiding infighting.

The three major factions occupy one side, and the three major sects will not be idle.

They concentrated their strength and dealt with the lineage of the eldest prince first.

Although the eldest prince does not have the support of his own family and high-level nobles, he has the highest prestige and the support of many small and medium-sized forces.

The entire strength of its supporters is concentrated, and the strength is the strongest among the three major factions.

Moreover, the eldest prince publicly promised that after destroying the three major sects to avenge his father, he would immediately cede to the one with the most credit among the two younger brothers.

The insightful people among the other two prince supporters also began to lobby the other two factions to support the eldest prince together.

Especially in the royal family, more and more people support the eldest prince.

If things go on like this, the power of the three princes may reach an agreement, and all three sects will have to be finished by then.

In order to eliminate this biggest threat as soon as possible, the three major sects concentrated their efforts and fought the eldest prince first.

At this time, the flaws of the First Prince's faction were also reflected, that is, the supporters were too scattered, and there was a lack of top experts around.

The faction of the Sixth Prince is the closest, but it is on the sidelines.

The strength around the eldest prince was too weak and was quickly defeated.

Many experts heard the news and went to support, and even the ancestors of the Wang family went to the rescue, and killed the elder Jindan of the Sunset Palace who came to block it.

But the rescue was not timely, and the eldest prince himself died in battle.

After the death of the eldest prince, some of his subordinate forces turned to the other two princes, and some continued to follow the eldest prince's son.

But more forces were disappointed with the Zhao family and surrendered directly to the three major sects.

After this battle, the Zhao family's forces no longer had much advantage over the three major sects.

Without the eldest prince, the sixth prince and the ninth prince had insufficient prestige, and no one could convince everyone, and Zhao Guo also lost the last chance to quell the rebellion of the three major sects.

In the end, the power of the eldest prince was scattered, leaving only the grandson of Zhao Liang.

The sixth prince was attacked for the second time, but the sixth prince was so useless, he just wanted to protect himself when the battle was unfavorable.

With the support of King Linhai, he eventually withdrew to Linhai Prefecture with his hard-core confidants.

During the retreat, the elder Taishang of the late Jindan stage of the Setting Sun Palace chased and killed him with more than ten Jindan cultivators.

Wang Chengzu, the ancestor of the Wang family, and several Jindan cultivators went to cover the sixth prince.

Wang Chengzu, who cultivated in the middle stage of Jindan, used ten thousand dragons to cover the sea and forcibly killed the elders of the Cangyang Palace.

The Golden Core cultivators of the three major sects were all frightened, and no one dared to confront him, so the sixth prince was able to escape.

After the sixth prince fled to Linhai Prefecture, the remaining Zhao family's power was dominated by the ninth prince.

The ninth prince also showed his extraordinary ability, commanding the remaining forces, and fighting the three major sects.

After the death of the first prince, the strength advantage of the Zhao family is not big anymore.

After the sixth prince was defeated, he took away a group of masters.

At this time, the strength in the hands of the ninth prince is far inferior to that of the three major sects.

Even so, the ninth prince still gathered a powerful force.

After dealing with the three major sects for more than 20 years, he killed several Jindan cultivators of the three major sects, dozens of purple houses, and hundreds of foundations, which dealt a heavy blow to the three major sects.

Until now, the high-end combat power of the three major sects has not recovered to the level before the war.

The forces supporting the Ninth Prince were also completely lost, and even the ancestors of the Wang family died in battle.

There were three or two big cats and kittens left, fleeing to dangerous places and hiding. Lvliuzhou was one of the gathering places for the remaining forces of the Nine Princes.

However, there is no news that the ninth prince was killed, and he is probably still alive.

The most miserable eldest prince's lineage also left a Zhao Liang.

It is even more impossible for the Ninth Prince's lineage to be completely killed.
