YM778.TV Chapter 69: Chapter 69 - Cowardly Prince
SWISH
As for why Song Yang did not use the high-grade sacred sword he obtained after destroying the Celestial Sword Sect, or the Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial-level artifact obtained from the legendary mysterious box:
The first reason is that it is unnecessary; after all, he is dealing only with an 8-star Saint.
Secondly, using the high-grade sacred sword would certainly reveal to the world that he has some connection with the Shura Palace, since it is no secret that it was the Shura Palace that destroyed the Celestial Sword Sect.
On the other hand, using the Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial artifact, would be even worse. The aura of an imperial artifact would instantly alarm the entire continent.
After all, when he obtained the sword previously, there was no leakage of aura because the Shura Palace was located within a secret immortal-level realm, protected by countless formations that naturally blocked any aura from the outside world.
However, if Song Yang took the sword out here, the imperial visions would naturally alarm even those ancient monsters hidden in the central region of the continent!
Seeing the sword coming towards him, Lin Yanghai could not help but become completely desperate. Knowing there was no escape, he pleaded with Song Yang:
"You can\'t kill me!"
But before the rest of his words were completely out of his mouth, the sword had already arrived, shattering his body completely. Even his soul was utterly destroyed.
"Can\'t I?"
Song Yang spoke in a playful tone, looking at Lin Yanghai\'s remains. He then turned his gaze to the carriage and said coldly:
"You\'re not going to leave?"
As soon as Song Yang\'s words fell, the carriage door was quickly opened, and a young man dressed in luxurious brocade clothing stumbled out hastily.
"Greetings, Your Highness, the Eighth Prince!"
Before Song Yang could fully process the sudden greeting from Yu Canghai, the latter knelt on the ground and pleaded:
"Your Highness, this marriage was not my idea, but my father\'s! Please spare me!"
At this moment, Yu Canghai did not care about anything else. After witnessing Lin Yanghai\'s death, he did not believe that Song Yang intended to let him go, even if he threatened with his identity as a prince.
After all, having killed Lin Yanghai, who was the most trusted subordinate of his father and represented the face of the Yushan Dynasty, the enmity between them had practically become irreconcilable.
Thus, at that moment, he knelt and begged Song Yang to spare him. He feared death more than anything in the world!
"Oh? Spare you?"
"But if I don\'t kill you, the first thing you\'ll do when you return to your dynasty won\'t be to demand my head?"
Seeing the terrified face of Yu Canghai, Song Yang couldn\'t help but want to toy with him a little. He really didn\'t expect the famous Third Prince to be so cowardly.
"I wouldn\'t dare!"
"Your Highness, don\'t worry! As long as you let me go, I promise to be your dog for the rest of my life!"
"In the future, if you tell me to go east, I won\'t dare to go west."
"When I inherit the throne and become emperor, I will be nothing but a puppet for you."
"The Yushan Dynasty will follow your commands!"
Seeing that Song Yang didn\'t kill him immediately and seemed to give him a chance of survival, Yu Canghai couldn\'t help but speak with increasing excitement.
At the same time, he offered a piece of his soul to Song Yang.
In the hope of surviving, Yu Canghai did not want to test Song Yang\'s patience and immediately handed over a piece of his soul.
Handing over a piece of his soul to Song Yang meant that at any moment, Song Yang could decide his life or death with just a thought!
But in Yu Canghai\'s opinion, this was nothing much, as his life was already practically in Song Yang\'s hands
Facing someone who could easily kill an 8-Star Saint, all his trumps were mere child\'s play.
Therefore, he thought it might be better to increase his chances and voluntarily offer a piece of his soul.
This meant that from that moment on, he would be forever a loyal servant of Song Yang.
Although Yu Canghai was somewhat reluctant in his mind, in the face of death, he did not hesitate at all. For him, it was better to be Song Yang\'s dog than to face death!
Moreover, the person he would be serving was the greatest genius in the eastern region. Between death and serving the greatest genius in the eastern region, the choice seemed clear.
"That is indeed a tempting offer, having a prince as a slave."
Seeing the piece of soul offered by Yu Canghai, Song Yang couldn\'t help but be a little surprised. He really didn\'t expect Yu Canghai to be so decisive!
"But…"
SWISH
A sword swiftly passed through Yu Canghai\'s neck before he had time to react. His last glance was directed at Song Yang, as if asking:
Why? Why did Song Yang kill him even after he had promised to be his slave and even offered a piece of his soul?
"If I truly wanted to control a small dynasty like the Yushan Dynasty, I would conquer it with my own strength."
"Why would I resort to petty tricks?"
Looking at Yu Canghai\'s corpse, Song Yang shook his head slightly.
If his plan were not to create chaos between the two dynasties, he might have considered keeping Yu Canghai as a slave due to his sincerity in offering a piece of his soul.
But Song Yang simply despised such schemes. In his view, with absolute power, any conspiracy could be easily crushed.
