Chapter 307: Prince Ye Chen!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen was slightly shocked when he heard this.
He did not understand the principles of the Imperial Palace, but from the looks of it, this First Prince Ji Xuan was an extremely shrewd person.
“So, His Majesty wants me to find Ye Chen before he passes away and return to the Imperial Capital to inherit the throne,” Eunuch Liu said.
Inherit the throne?
Ye Chen did not expect his loss of composure to develop like this.
Ye Chen was now the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Alliance Master of the Righteous Path Alliance. Could it be that he was going to become the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom?
In that case, would all the power in the world not be in his hands?
Ye Chen neither coveted nor rejected power.
With power, many things were indeed very convenient.
But at the same time, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
“You said earlier that the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was severely injured and was poisoned. What exactly happened? Why was he injured and poisoned?” Ye Chen looked at Eunuch Liu and asked.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu looked at Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, I won’t hide it from you. His Majesty’s injuries and poison were hidden illnesses left behind from years ago.”
“Back then, His Majesty had just inherited the throne and the monster race of the Western Region began to attack the human race. His Majesty led his soldiers to personally go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he also fell ill and was poisoned. All these years, His Majesty had been guarding the bitter pain of the cold poison. He had endured for fifteen years, but now, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer,” Eunuch Liu said with tears streaming down his face.
“His Majesty is a very great person. For the fate of the human race, he didn’t hesitate to abandon the Empress and his children to inherit the throne.
“If it wasn’t for His Majesty back then, if the demons of the Western Region had entered our Eastern Lands, I’m afraid that the people of our Eastern Lands would have been plunged into misery by now,” Eunuch Liu continued.
“The demons of the Western Region?”
Ye Chen was shocked.
Ye Chen knew that on this continent.
It was divided into two halves.
To the east was the Eastern Continent where Ye Chen and the others were located.
The Eastern Imperial Kingdom was the capital.
Although there were many small countries, these small countries were all sub-countries of the Eastern Empire.
Only in the south was the Nanxuan Kingdom that could barely compete with the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. However, it was still far from the Eastern Imperial Kingdom’s national strength.
And in the west.
It was no longer a human country.
Although there were humans in the Western Region as well.
Most of them were demons!
Ye Chen had never heard of this period of history. He had never thought that fifteen years ago, there would be such a huge battle between humans and demons.
“Is the emperor’s injury incurable?” Ye Chen continued to ask.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu shook his head.
“We once looked for Medicine Nine to help the emperor treat his illness.
“Originally, His Majesty could only live for three years. However, under the life-prolonging golden core of Medicine Nine, His Majesty was able to hold on for a few more years. But now, the poison has already penetrated deep into his lungs. I’m afraid that even gods can not save him.”
At this moment, Ye Chen felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
This Emperor must be his father.
Even if he had abandoned his wife and children back then, he had had no other choice.
He had originally thought that his cheap father was just a bastard who had abandoned his wife and children.
He had never thought that for the sake of the foundation of the human race, he would actually give up his own life.
If his cheap father died just like that, his mother would probably be very sad as well.
“Mr. Ye, please tell me where Ye Chen is. This is extremely important to his majesty, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, and even to the entire human race. Please enlighten me, Mr. Ye!” At this moment…Eunuch Liu knelt in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was slightly moved.
Could he really ignore all of this?
Or could he go back and inherit the throne?
For some unknown reason, even if his deadbeat father abandoned his wife and children, Ye Chen did not want him to die.
If he died, his mother would probably be sad too!
Ye Chen was a transmigrator.
But after so many years, even a rock had been warmed up, not to mention that Ye Chen was a living person.
He knew how good his mother was to him. Here, he also felt his mother’s love. Therefore, Ye Chen did not want his mother to be sad.
Mother, senior sister… They were all his family.
Even if Ye Chen betrayed the world, he would not betray them.
Ye Chen did not have many ideals. His only goal was to let his mother and senior sister be safe and happy.
Perhaps, only by letting his mother see that cheapskate father once more would she truly be able to let go.
“Mr. Ye, please tell me…Ye Chen’s whereabouts!”
Eunuch Liu directly kowtowed in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at Eunuch Liu and said indifferently, “Alright, you can go back first. I will tell Ye Chen that if he wants to inherit the throne, he should head to the Imperial Capital to inherit the throne.”
The moment these words were said.
Eunuch Liu was extremely shocked.
He hurriedly said, “Many thanks Mr. Ye, many thanks Mr. Ye!”
Then, he thought for a moment and said, “I’d better stay here and wait for His Highness the Prince!”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “There’s no need!”
“But, His Highness the Prince needs someone to protect him!” Eunuch Liu immediately said.
Eunuch Liu was a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert, and his strength could not be underestimated.
But the real Ye Chen was the alliance leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and one of the strongest people in the world. Did he still need his protection?
Ye Chen said indifferently, “If he wants to come back and inherit the throne, I can personally escort him. Don’t you believe in my strength?”
Eunuch Liu immediately thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Ye!”
After saying that, Eunuch Liu slowly walked out of the main hall.
At this time, only Ye Chen was left in the main hall.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “Hehe….the throne?”
