Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 249: Prince Lin Yan rebuke

Lin Xiao walked out of the lake a bit unwillingly and then walked to the tunnel. He noticed that Prince Lin Yan sealed the space as the latter looked at him with serious expression.

"Lake Dragon?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Your two older brothers told me." Prince Lin Yan had no qualms selling them out. "And only the lake dragon could provide rich resources without the need to worry so much about it every run out."

In fact, he had already heard that Lake Dragon was known as the walking treasure trove. As long as there was lake, they would be invincible because they could use Qi recklessly yet it would never run out. The legend even stated that unless they were certain that they could kill the Lake Dragon Emperor in one move, they would just be dragged in prolonged battle where they would die out of exhaustion.

Lin Xiao’s lips twitched. He scolded both Prince Lin San and Prince Lin Xian in his mind before he nodded. He couldn’t run away anymore. "Yes."

Prince Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiao. "I have been watching you from the sidelines for the past few weeks. You’re too weak, Lin Xiao."

"Wha..."

"With your current skill, it’ll be easy for experts to kill you within one move." Prince Lin Yan looked in Lin Xiao’s direction with solemn gaze. He shook his head. "Right now, your chance of obtaining the throne was extremely low."

Extremely low...

Lin Xiao really wanted to refute his first brother, saying that he was not that bad. However, looking at how Prince Lin Yan looked at him including how the other person didn’t seem to have qualms to look down on him, he felt bitter.

Prince Lin Yan was already at Golden Core Stage 2 ah!

It was a stage that was far from him and the current him, who was only at Foundation Stage, certainly held no hope of beating this prince.

"He’s not wrong," Lin Hu suddenly chirped in. "You might have good skills and had already honed your ability in the prison, but you lack real experience."

"Isn’t that why I’m here in this forest?" Lin Xiao refuted in his mind.

Lin Hu scoffed. The ones here were all just animals and Lin Xiao would run away when facing a horde, how could he possibly grow up well if he was merely facing animals? Fighting for the throne required him to fight against other humans!

Humans!

Not animals!

"Listen to your first brother, his intelligence was much higher than you."

Lin Xiao: "..." you damn dragon!

"You don’t believe me?" Prince Lin Yan noticed Lin Xiao’s expression and he sneered. "Do you think that the person with the highest cultivation is only at Golden Core Stage 2? There are others at Golden Core Stage 3 and if you fail to get their support, who will protect you when you’re up against them?"

Lin Xiao was silent. Golden Core Stage 3... it was higher than Golden Core Stage 2 and naturally, their ability was much higher. It would be impossible for him to even protect himself should he fight against someone who was at Golden Core Stage 3.

Asking for others to protect him?

Who would?

Revealing the fact that he was Emperor Inheritor too early would only make it easy for other to target him. While those from the kingdom might want to protect him, how about those from other kingdoms?

They wanted to kill him to prevent Sun Kingdom from gaining the absolute advantage. After all, what would happen to them once Sun Kingdom rise?

They would be pushed to the back and would be unable to rise properly.

"I understand."

"No, you don’t understand. From the moment you choose to follow on this path, you should have realized that you can’t possibly become an Emperor just by relying on your pitiful strength and those weaker supporters.

Don’t you know the other princes already have the support of those at Golden Core Stage 3?"

Lin Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. That....

Prince Lin Yan sneered. "I’m not as stupid as my younger brothers who will willingly pledge their loyalty from the moment they know you have Emperor’s Inheritance. Even if you have it but you’re not capable enough, I wouldn’t want to have you as the Emperor."

What a joke, he would never serve someone who was so weak.

And since the other party was his younger brother, whom he had never met in his entire life after the long separation, he did feel a bit bad. However, he couldn’t allow Lin Xiao to tread on this path so lightly like this.

He would be killed.

Soon.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Stay here." Prince Lin Yan scoffed. He pointed at the entrance. "There’ll be a lot of beasts coming to this place because they’re attracted to the scent of Qi. Everyone wished for resources and you’re practically a living treasure trove. If you fail, you might as well be forced to create an environment where your opponents can benefit from it."

Hearing that, Lin Xiao shuddered.

Indeed. His ability to create a lake that was filled with Qi stemmed on the ability he inherited because his ability was that of Lake Emperor. If others knew about this, wouldn’t they want to enslave him?

Inside him, Lin Hu also sighed. He knew very well that some of the inheritance would give them a lot of resources because they were given limitation.

The Heaven was fair.

The Emperor Inheritance was not given for nothing. They had the advantage but they had to use their own ability to the fullest if they wished to be able to use it well. And some of them have stronger dragon because they have limitation.

Those who got the Emperor’s Inheritance had to work hard if they wished to succeed because obtaining the inheritance meant that they have to become an Emperor. If they failed, they would die the most gruesome death.

That was the law.
