Chapter 1267 - 1257: The Eldest Prince Inherits the Throne, Yang Xiao Sends Someone to Earth

During this period, Yang Xiao focused intensely on cultivating the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, and would chat and banter with Wu Dai whenever he had free time.

He was completely unaware of the ongoing war between the Great Dragon Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire outside,

or of the Eldest Prince Long Aotian’s journey to Earth and the planet’s bombing.

Fan Chen, carrying the Jade Token of the Eldest Prince Wanyan He, entered the Imperial College and found the Elder Wanyan Cuo at the Cultivation Hall.

Wanyan Cuo led Fan Chen to Yang Xiao’s dormitory, where they found Yang Xiao.

Seeing Fan Chen, Yang Xiao said with surprise:

"Hey, Brother Fan, why are you here? It’s been a while. Let’s have a good drink this afternoon."

Fan Chen, with a bitter smile, replied:

"Brother Yang, something major has happened. Hurry, come with me."

Yang Xiao was startled,

"What happened?"

"The Flying Leopard Emperor is dead, and the Eldest Prince has asked me to urgently take you to the Royal Palace."

"What?"

Both Yang Xiao and Wanyan Cuo were shocked, staring at Fan Chen in a daze.

Wanyan Cuo was even more agitated, his body trembling,

"Say that again, what happened to the Flying Leopard Emperor?"

Fan Chen simply explained:

"Early this morning, the Emperor of Great Dragon brought an extremely powerful figure to confront the Flying Leopard Emperor, killed him, and the Flying Leopard Emperor temporarily passed the throne to the Eldest Prince...

The situation is urgent, and the moment is delicate. The Eldest Prince has instructed me to urgently summon Brother Yang to the Royal Palace. I’ll explain the details on the way."

Yang Xiao immediately said:

"Let’s get going."

As he walked out the door, he stopped and said to Wanyan Cuo:

"Elder, you’re a heavyweight in the Imperial College and an old minister of the Wanyan Family. Now that the Flying Leopard Emperor has just died and the Eldest Prince has yet to formally inherit the throne, please urgently gather the college’s elite forces and go to the Royal Palace to maintain order."

Wanyan Cuo nodded approvingly,

"Yang Xiao, you’re absolutely right. You go ahead first; I’ll follow shortly with hundreds of elite soldiers."

Yang Xiao and Fan Chen swiftly flew out of the Imperial College, then performed the Flying Technique, urgently heading towards the Royal Palace.

Throughout the journey, with urgency, Fan Chen had no time to explain further to Yang Xiao.

Soon, the two arrived inside the Royal Palace, where Liang Bao and his troops had already taken over the security.

When Yang Xiao and his companion reached the palace entrance, Liang Bao was anxiously waiting outside. Upon seeing Yang Xiao, he immediately called out:

"Brother Yang, you’ve finally arrived. His Highness is waiting for you inside."

Liang Bao left Fan Chen to manage the troops while he led Yang Xiao into the palace.

As they walked, Liang Bao briefly explained the details, leaving Yang Xiao’s heart in turmoil, emotions rising, intensely stirred.

"What? The Great Dragon Empire raised an army this time just to capture me?"

"Indeed, Long Aotian went to Earth months ago, claiming you killed his third brother. Is this true?"

Yang Xiao nodded, anxiously saying:

"Did Long Aotian say anything else? Did he do anything to the people on Earth?"

"He didn’t say, but knowing Long Aotian’s character and his hatred towards you, it’s likely he went on a rampage. Yang Xiao, you need to be mentally prepared."

Yang Xiao clenched his teeth, fists tightening. If it weren’t for the great distance between Earth and Witch Star, and the major upheaval within the Flying Leopard Empire at the moment, he would’ve hurried to Earth this instant.

"Ah, why didn’t the Flying Leopard Emperor inform me that the Emperor of Great Dragon wanted to capture me? Why didn’t he hand me over?"

"If he truly had handed you over, would you still be alive now?"

"Ah, I never imagined the Flying Leopard Emperor would sacrifice his life for me. This grace, I will never be able to repay in my lifetime."

.....

As they spoke, they entered the Royal Palace hall.

At this moment, over a hundred Imperial ministers and war generals were gathered inside the hall.

Wanyan He lay crying on the Flying Leopard Emperor’s crystal coffin, and these ministers and generals howled along. Of course, some were genuine, and others merely put on a show.

Deep down, everyone was calculating how to protect their own interests once Wanyan He assumed the throne.

As Yang Xiao and Liang Bao entered the palace hall, many, upon seeing Yang Xiao, immediately stopped crying, and the hall’s crying sound diminished significantly.

First War General Wanyan Kang and First Wealthy Man Qin Chuan saw Yang Xiao and both nodded proactively, acknowledging him.

At such a crucial moment, everyone knew the influence Yang Xiao wielded over Wanyan He.

The Flying Leopard Emperor sacrificed himself, taking Thunder God’s strike to secure Yang Xiao’s life. This deeply moved Yang Xiao.

He understood that the Flying Leopard Emperor’s actions were intended to win him over, but regardless, for the Emperor to willingly sacrifice his own life to win him over was indeed a profound sentiment.

Yang Xiao approached Wanyan He and gently patted his shoulder.

"Your Highness, my condolences!"

Wanyan He felt much calmer upon Yang Xiao’s arrival.

Despite being a Prince and heir to the throne, within the Royal Palace, he had few friends he could truly trust and confide in, especially those with significant power.

Trustworthy and possessing considerable strength, Yang Xiao was the only one.

As Wanyan He saw Yang Xiao, his face streaming with tears, he choked out:

"Brother Yang, my father, he’s gone, sob..."

Yang Xiao, with eyes moist, embraced Wanyan He.

"Your Highness, I promise to fully support you. Now is not the time to be sad."

After saying this, Yang Xiao knelt with a loud "thud" before the Flying Leopard Emperor’s crystal coffin, shouting:
