Chapter 653: Big Dog Biting the Little Dog
"This Yun Xiao… We could use him to our advantage. After all, he even destroyed Lu Fan's body double," the Crown Prince said.
"I fear they might end up uniting in their conflict," the Nine Thunders Sovereign murmured.
"Impossible," the Crown Prince retorted, giving the Nine Thunders Sovereign a piercing look. "You truly don’t understand Lu Fan. The man respects no bounds; he'll do anything, convinced of his divine destiny. In his eyes, everyone else is a villain, a mere stepping stone. Such a man, when confronted with someone of superior talent, only becomes more twisted inside."
The Nine Thunders Sovereign felt the truth in those words. If the Chaos Sovereign was not utterly lawless, how else could he have earned his title?
"Remember when he first rose to power? A high-ranking celestial family once offended him. He slaughtered all the men of that family, took the women he fancied, and even exhumed and burned the bones of their ancestors... And when someone spoke up for that family, he went straight to their estate and killed tens of thousands more," the Nine Thunders Sovereign recounted with a shake of his head.
"My father raised a tiger, only to have it turn on him today. This Lu Fan has always been troublesome... That's why I say, let him continue clashing with these two pests trying to play hero. Lu Fan claims to be the chosen one, doesn’t he? Well, let's use a hero to defeat a hero. Let them tear each other apart, and when one emerges victorious, that’s when we enter the fray," the Crown Prince stated coldly.
"If Lu Fan wins, at least he'll be weakened. If those two pests prevail..." the Nine Thunders Sovereign paused, then chuckled, "that would be even better news."
Because in their eyes, Yun Xiao and Lian Xi were incredibly easy to handle. It was just like Divine Dawn, the deceased Seventh Princess. All they had to do was target her weakness, and she was completely helpless.
The Crown Prince recalled the choice he gave to the Seventh Princess. Either she died or several mortal realms would be destroyed. She was only given ten breaths to make a decision.
