Chapter 614: Fight Between Royals
The third prince smiled when he saw this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
They all came here to compete for the throne. If so, they must be enemies.
The royal family is ruthless, and their Nine Star Empire cannot avoid it.
It is not impossible for them to kill each other for future interests and resources.
It’s just that the empress has been watching, so the fight between them has not hurt their lives, but just some conspiracies between each other.
However, it is very difficult to frame a person with conspiracies.
The others all looked at Li Qingyue, but they didn’t take it to heart. Among the seven people sitting, only Li Qingyue had the worst foundation and had no one to rely on in the court.
Coming here to participate in the auction of the three major counties is probably just to join in the fun.
Before coming, they had made sufficient preparations. Although His Majesty did not say what the starting price was, it was estimated that it would not be less than 2 billion top-level immortal crystals, and the final actual price was estimated to be around 5 billion top-level immortal crystals.
This is just one county. If the auction wants to take over the three counties in the end, it is estimated that at least 15 billion top-level immortal crystals will be needed.
This is an extremely large number. Almost no one who came to participate thought about taking over the three counties, because this is really not very likely.
15 billion top-level immortal crystals!
This number is really too scary.
The princes have just shown their prowess, and many forces are watching. They are not completely back to normal, so their confidence is not that strong.
It is really too difficult to take out 15 billion top-level immortal crystals at one time.
In the entire Nine Star Empire, there are only a handful of people who can take out so many top-level immortal crystals alone. Even if they can take them out, it must be a level of breaking bones.
All the people who came to participate in the auction have thought clearly that this time they only need to take over the jurisdiction of a county.
In the Nine Star Empire, a county can also bring extremely generous rewards. According to His Majesty, as long as they take over the jurisdiction of the county this time, then basically this place will belong to them in the future.
It's just that a certain amount of immortal crystals need to be paid to the treasury every year, and the royal family will send people to supervise.
Of course, this must have a time limit, and 10 million years is the time limit for this jurisdiction.
Ten billion years is not long, but it is not short either. At least they can use this time to bring huge benefits.
The main reason is that they don't want to give it to each other. This thing belongs to them and they can live without it, but the enemy must not have it. If the opponent competing for the throne gets it, their difficulty will be greatly increased.
Even if they can't get it, they must make the other party pay more value as much as possible.
This is their idea.
Li Qingyue asked Su Chen nervously: "By the way, do you have confidence?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, without any emotional fluctuations.
In the field of immortal crystals, to be honest, no one can beat him. There is no such person in the entire billion world.
It's that simple.
Su Chen asked curiously, "How many immortal crystals will be auctioned for these three counties?"
Li Qingyue had done some research before coming here, and he said seriously, "According to my estimate, each county will cost at least 4 billion top-level immortal crystals."
"As for the cap, I'm not sure. If the competition is fierce, 6 billion may be auctioned out, but my aunt said that 6 billion is a bit expensive, and 5 billion is very suitable."
"Uh... do you have 5 billion top-level immortal crystals?"
Su Chen chuckled, and then asked curiously, "Did your aunt say whether I can afford it?"
Li Qingyue pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "She didn't tell me directly, but asked me to trust you."
Although she believed in Li Ruoxin's judgment, she couldn't help feeling insecure at this tense moment.
If she didn't take over these three counties, her already slim chance would become even slimmer.
Of course, she didn't think about taking over three counties, just one would be enough.
Her current foundation is very poor, and she has no hope of competing for the throne. If she has the jurisdiction of a county, she will be much more confident, at least she can attract the attention of a group of people, and as long as she performs well, she can get their support.
This is a hole. If it can't be pried open, there will be no chance later.
Su Chen smiled faintly: "Just watch it later."
At this time, a young man not far away came up, he came to Li Qingyue's side, and then said calmly:
"Seventh sister, this battle for the throne may cost your life. You can just watch it today, and don't get involved in anything related to the throne in the future."
Li Qingyue turned her head and immediately snorted: "Fourth brother can compete, why can't I?"
"You..."
The fourth prince was immediately angry, with a bit of helplessness and worry in his eyes. Li Qingyue was the one who was closer to him among many relatives, and he naturally didn't want Li Qingyue to get involved.
The royal family is ruthless, but many times this ruthlessness is not innate.
But living in such an environment forced them to be a little ruthless.
The imperial power was different from the sects. The imperial power meant supremacy, unlimited resources and status.
Although the sect leader is the biggest, he is usually only the strongest. They enjoy what a strong person should have, but the imperial power does not talk about strength.
As long as they sit on the throne, even if they are not the strongest, they are the strongest in the entire Nine Star Empire.
How could they not fight for such huge benefits?
In the outside world, cultivators have to fight to the death for a little bit of benefits, going against the will of heaven. No one can help but be tempted by such huge benefits in front of them.
Li Qingyue actually knew that the fourth prince was concerned, but she was very unhappy with this kind of concern. Her future goal is to be the empress, who needs this kind of concern?
Since she chose to take this path, she was ready to die.
At this moment, a person walked out of the hall slowly.
He was wearing a coarse linen coat, his face was old, but his eyes were bright.
"Hello, everyone."
The old man had a smile on his face.
Several people below immediately stood up and saluted: "Meet the Third Elder."
This elder is an elder of the royal family, not an official in the empire.
The Third Elder smiled and nodded: "Stop talking nonsense, you must be ready. This is a private auction, so let's cut the crap and start directly."
"The first county, Liuyun County."
"The starting price is 2 billion top-level fairy crystals. The highest bidder wins. The total jurisdiction is 10 million years. During this period, you only need to pay tribute. All the income belongs to you. You can also directly decide the development of the county and mobilize all the strong people in it."
"Everyone, let's start."
Just as the voice was finished, a faint voice sounded from the hall.
"10 billion top-level fairy crystals!"
Everyone's pupils shrank immediately!
Who!
They turned their heads and saw Su Chen lazily lying on the chair.
