Chapter 506: Fire God Sect
The overall strength of the Dongyuan Dynasty is not very weak, but there is a slight gap compared to the Tianwu Dynasty.
Especially the Dongyuan Imperial Family, which controls the Dongyuan Dynasty, is weaker than the Tianwu Imperial Family.
Of course, the Dongyuan Imperial Family was not weak before.
The reason why Duanmu Qingsheng knew that the strength of the Dongyuan Imperial Family was not as good as before was because he spent a lot of money to buy an insider in the Dongyuan Imperial Family.
From the insider, he knew that an ancestor of the Dongyuan Imperial Family had passed away because of a failed breakthrough.
And that ancestor happened to be the strongest ancestor of the Dongyuan Imperial Family.
The reason why the Dongyuan Imperial Family could compete with the Tianwu Imperial Family before was because of the existence of this ancestor.
But now that this ancestor has passed away, his strength naturally cannot compete with the Tianwu Imperial Family.
It’s just that this news was completely blocked by the Dongyuan Imperial Family, and the outside world didn’t know it at all.
Even in the Dongyuan Imperial Family, only the top few people knew it.
And the insider bought by Duanmu Qingsheng also overheard this news by accident.
For this news, Duanmu Qingsheng spent tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones.
However, it was worth spending tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones to get this news.
In addition to knowing this news, Duanmu Qingsheng also made a lot of preparations in advance.
He bribed many civil and military officials in the court of the Dongyuan Dynasty, and also won over many generals in the army.
Although a lot of resources were spent, as long as the entire Dongyuan Dynasty could be controlled, everything would be worth it.
However, these are not the biggest trump cards.
Duanmu Qingsheng's real trump card is actually the Fire God Sect, the upper sect of the Dongyuan Dynasty.
Duanmu Qingsheng had saved a seriously injured monk before, and that seriously injured monk happened to be a disciple of the second elder of the Fire God Sect.
So Duanmu Qingsheng contacted the second elder of the Fire God Sect through this person.
With the massive resources that Duanmu Qingsheng continuously sent, he established a very deep friendship with the second elder of the Fire God Sect.
Of course, friendship is fake, and the mutual interest relationship is real.
After a long period of interest association, Duanmu Qingsheng also explained to the second elder of the Fire God Sect that he wanted to control the Dongyuan Dynasty.
And the second elder of the Fire God Sect also made it clear.
As long as the Duanmu family took action, the Fire God Sect would never intervene, and could even secretly help the Duanmu family.
However, the condition was to double the resources offered.
Although this condition made Duanmu Qingsheng a little painful, in order to continue to improve the overall strength of the family, he agreed without hesitation.
After all, controlling the Dongyuan Dynasty only requires doubling the resources offered.
If it is to control the Tianwu Dynasty, the resources offered must be at least tripled or even five or six times.
In comparison, the Fire God Sect is already very conscientious, much stronger than the domineering Barbarian God Sect.
It is precisely because of the promise of the Fire God Sect that he dares to have such ambitions.
If the Fire God Sect is determined to protect the Dongyuan Royal Family, then he naturally dare not go against it.
After all, the Fire God Sect is very powerful, and their Duanmu family can't fight against it at all.
After saying this, Duanmu Qingsheng sighed: "And the resources in the Dongyuan Dynasty are much richer than those in our Tianwu Dynasty."
"In addition, those forces in the Dongyuan Dynasty are all rich. After controlling the Dongyuan Dynasty, we can take action against them and plunder them fiercely."
Listening to Duanmu Qingsheng's sigh, Lu Fan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
I am greedy enough, but I didn't expect this guy to be even greedier than me.
When I plundered the treasure houses of various forces, I would at least leave a part for them.
But Duanmu Qingsheng made it clear that he wanted to plunder all of them and would not leave any for others. He was really cruel.
However, such an ambitious and greedy subordinate can be of great use.
After all, he also needs someone to plunder resources for him.
It's okay for me to show up in person now, but it will be inconvenient to show up in the future.
As his status and position became higher and higher, such things could not be put in the open.
After all, as the supreme ruler, he always seized the resources of the forces within his rule, which would definitely force those forces to unite and rebel.
Although he was not afraid of those forces uniting to rebel, it would be a bit troublesome after all.
So these dirty and tiring jobs needed someone to do them secretly, bearing all the infamy, while he got all the benefits and interests.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan secretly listed Duanmu Qingsheng as a subordinate to be trained.
But he didn't say these words.
While talking, a light appeared in front of him, and he came to the end of the passage.
After crossing the end of the passage, a huge and empty underground space appeared in front of everyone.
There were also two Soul Condensation Realm masters and ten True Dan Realm masters guarding here.
After seeing Lu Fan and his party come here, the two Soul Condensation Realm masters and ten True Dan Realm masters jumped up one after another.
Fortunately, they saw Duanmu Qingsheng and others, so they did not make any excessive movements, but just looked at Lu Fan and others with curiosity and doubt.
It was also the first time for them to see outsiders coming here, and they were led here by the head of the family.
Just when they were stunned, Duanmu Qingsheng took a deep breath and stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Come and pay respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After Duanmu Qingsheng said this, the two Soul Condensation Realm experts and ten True Dan Realm experts who were guarding here could not help but look surprised.
After all, they had all seen the Crown Prince of Tianwu, who was definitely not the Lu Fan in front of them.
But why did the head of the family ask them to pay respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Could it be that Tianwu had two crown princes? Or perhaps a new crown prince was established.
And the relationship between their Duanmu family and the royal family has never been very harmonious, and it can even be said to be a semi-hostile relationship.
The royal family rarely comes to Duanmu City, and the members of their Duanmu family rarely go to the imperial capital.
How could a crown prince suddenly appear?
Just when these people were stunned, Duanmu Qingsheng suddenly shouted: "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said!"
Duanmu Qingsheng still has an extremely powerful majesty in the Duanmu family.
So when they saw Duanmu Qingsheng getting angry, the two Soul Condensation Realm powerhouses and ten True Dan Realm cultivators did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly came to Lu Fan and bowed.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
While bowing to Lu Fan, the twelve guys were also secretly guessing Lu Fan's identity and origin in their hearts.
However, they would never guess that Lu Fan would be the Crown Prince of Daqian.
After all, Daqian and the Tianwu Royal Family have been mortal enemies for hundreds of years. How could the Crown Prince of Daqian appear here?
Just as they bowed, Duanmu Qingsheng spoke again:
"From now on, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the new master of our Duanmu Family. Everyone must obey His Royal Highness's orders unconditionally, and no one may violate them, otherwise they will be punished according to the family rules!"
If the twelve guys were just curious and confused just now, then they were completely dumbfounded at this moment...
