Chapter 553: Deciding On A Heir
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s right! Your Majesty, this person isn’t worthy of such an exalted. I refuse to recognize his authority!”
“Your Majesty, he is just a mixed-blood python demon without even a trace of the dragon race’s bloodline!”
“If word of this gets out, won’t the other three dragon palaces laugh at us?”
In an instant, the three generals began to verbally attack Wang Mang openly.
In a sense, they were also indirectly insulting the West Sea Dragon King for his lack of foresight in appointing Wang Mang to the position.
BoxNovel.comIn addition, the one who hated Wang Mang the most was the East Conquest General, as he had already learned that Wang Mang had killed the second elder.
What shocked him even more was that Wang Mang had become even stronger, and was now a late-stage Golden Immortal realm expert!
In any case, the conflict between Wang Mang and the Dragon King Whale clan had already become irreconcilable.
As for the other two generals?
They were very dissatisfied with the West Sea Dragon King’s unannounced appointment, especially since the Great General of Longwei outranked them.
Faced with their complaints and accusations, the West Sea Dragon King’s heart sank. Although he was furious, he did not want to flare up.
This was because he had indeed done this without informing them. However, he was the dignified West Sea Dragon King. Why did he have to consult them about the appointment of personnel?
Wang Mang was already furious, so he did not bother to hide anything.
“If you’re unhappy about it, you can fight me!”
After saying that, Wang Mang did not conceal his tyrannical aura, and his powerful aura swept out, causing the expressions of the four generals to change drastically.
Even the West Sea Dragon King looked at Wang Mang in shock!
It seemed that it would not be long before Wang Mang reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
Thinking this, the West Sea Dragon King felt both worried and happy.
He was happy that Wang Mang would be able to suppress the Dragon King Whale clan and the Sea Dragon clan, but was also worried that Wang Mang would become troublesome to deal with himself.
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the other three generals were furious, but they did not dare to say anything. The East Conquering General, Wu Jing, knew that Wang Mang had killed the second elder, who was a late-stage Golden Immortal realm demon, so he was even more unwilling to fight Wang Mang.
Thus, he could only suppress his anger and remain silent.
Wang Long, on the other hand, was very happy. Since he had pledged allegiance to Wang Mang, the latter becoming stronger was a great thing.
Once Wang Mang became a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert, the Deep Sea Python clan would be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the other two clans.
His decision to follow Wang Mang had been the right one.
Thinking this, Wang Long did not hide the smile on his face.
At this moment, the West Sea Dragon King coughed and said, “Let’s get back to the topic at hand, which is the issue of the heir to the West Sea Dragon Palace.”
Hearing this, Wu Jing immediately said, “Your Majesty, in terms of talent, the Third Prince is second to none, so the third prince should be appointed as the heir to the throne.”
At this moment, the Sea Dragon general, Lu Huai, also nodded and echoed, “That’s right. The Third Prince is extremely talented in terms of martial arts and knowledge.”
Chang Chun, who was the third general, also nodded and said, “That’s right. The Third Prince’s talent is even higher than the Eldest Prince’s! If he becomes the heir, he will definitely lead the West Sea Dragon Palace to prosperity!”
The three generals immediately voiced their opinions, yet Wang Mang, Wang Long, and the West Sea Dragon King remained silent.
Wang Mang quietly glanced at the West Sea Dragon King, only to find that the latter was smiling. Clearly, the West Sea Dragon King also had high hopes for the Third Prince.
At this moment, the West Sea Dragon King smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, we’ll call the Third Prince and the Eldest Prince over. We’ll decide on the position of the heir today.”
“Shrimp and crab soldiers, go and call the Third Prince and the Eldest Prince here!” The West Sea Dragon King ordered.
Not long after, Wang Mang saw two princes in dragon robes walk in.
Crown Prince Ao Ang was dressed in a black dragon robe. His appearance was handsome, cold, and very eye-catching.
The Third Prince Ao Lie was dressed in a white dragon robe. He looked extremely arrogant.
As for the Fourth Prince Ao Wang, he was nowhere to be seen.
Obviously, in the eyes of the West Sea Dragon King, the Fourth Prince was far inferior to the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince, and was thus not qualified to compete for the position of the heir of the West Sea Dragon Palace.
The Second Prince had long escaped from the West Sea Dragon Palace after seducing his stepmother.
“Greetings, father, and all of the great generals.”
After entering the Crystal Palace, the two crown princes hurriedly cupped their hands respectfully.
Ever since the second prince seduced the ninth consort and betrayed the West Sea Dragon Palace, the West Sea Dragon King had chased all of the princes out of the Crystal Palace!
The West Sea Dragon King nodded slightly and waved his hand.
“Alright, take a seat! Today is the day the West Sea Dragon Palace will elect its heir.”
Upon hearing this, both the Third Prince and the Crown Prince’s expressions changed slightly. They sat down respectfully beside the West Sea Dragon King.
However, compared to the Crown King’s nervousness, the Third Prince appeared very confident.
This was because he had obtained the support of the Dragon King Whale clan and the Sea Dragon clan, as well as many of the smaller vassal clans.
The only one that had not stood by his side was the Deep Sea Python clan. From this, it could be said that victory was in his grasp.
In contrast, the Crown Prince was very lonely, with no one supporting him.
The main reason was because the Ninth Consort who had eloped with the second prince was his biological mother!
Therefore, he was in an awkward situation, and it was obvious that he had completely fallen out of favor. The vassal clans that had once supported him had given up on him, which meant that his chances were slim to none.
Actually, to put it bluntly, this appointment discussion was nothing but a formality.
At this moment, the West Sea Dragon King also spoke.
“Alright, let’s begin voting! The Great General of Longwei’s vote is worth two votes, while the four conquering generals have one vote each!”
“Everyone can start voting now. Those who support the Third Prince, please raise your hand!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Prince sat confidently in his seat, looking assured of victory.
As expected, among those present, four people raised their hands instantly. There were a total of six votes, and he had obtained four!
Seeing this, the Third Prince’s expression became even more arrogant.
Similarly, the West Sea Dragon King was also smiling.
“Alright, I hereby announce…”
However, in the next moment, something unexpected happened before the West Sea Dragon King could finish speaking.
One of the four generals who supported the Third Prince suddenly put down his arm!
