Chapter 1268 - 1257: The Eldest Prince Inherits the Throne, Yang Xiao Sends People to Earth (2)

"Emperor, for the sake of saving me, you refused the Great Dragon Empire, sacrificing your own life. This kindness, this sentiment, I, Yang Xiao, will never forget for the rest of my life, and I will give my all to repay your favor.

You can rest assured, I, Yang Xiao, swear to the heavens that I will definitely avenge you. Moreover, please be assured, I will fully assist the Prince. If anyone dares to challenge the Prince, I, Yang Xiao, will fight to the death to protect him."

Yang Xiao spoke earnestly, each word moved by grief, with resolute determination.

Those around him, upon hearing this, were also inwardly silent.

Yang Xiao was originally an ally of the Flying Leopard Empire, and with a special friendship with the Prince, everyone knew that Yang Xiao and the Prince were bonded by life-and-death camaraderie.

Now with the Flying Leopard Emperor exchanging his life for this bond, it naturally became even more unbreakable.

As the Great Chief of Purple Origin Star, Yang Xiao had powerful resources and strength. Coupled with his past killings of the Emperor Level War God and Long Kui, his influence among the people was immense.

The Prince, Wanyan He, indeed had average Genetic Evolution Talent, but with Yang Xiao’s support, no one dared to easily provoke the Prince.

Yang Xiao stood up, glanced at Wanyan Kang beside him, and said:

"General Kang, you were the Emperor’s trusted right-hand man and a pillar of the nation. Now that the unfortunate Emperor has passed, the priority is to immediately assist the Prince in ascending the throne and inheriting the empire, then handle the other matters one by one. What do you think?"

Yang Xiao gave Wanyan Kang immense face.

At this critical moment, all possible alliances must be formed, especially with figures like Wanyan Kang who hold military power and are among the few Emperor Level Transcendent Experts in the empire.

Wanyan Kang gladly accepted to be obliging, shedding heartfelt tears, and said:

"Young Master Yang, you were appointed as the State Preceptor by the Emperor himself, and what you said makes perfect sense. We should immediately assist the Prince in ascending the throne, then under the leadership of the new Emperor, carefully tackle the remaining issues. Otherwise, we are like dragons without a head, unable to proceed!"

Having said that, Wanyan Kang solemnly addressed the people in the hall:

"Everyone, the Flying Leopard Emperor passed away unexpectedly, but before he died, he had already entrusted the throne to the Prince. The urgent task is to support the Prince in ascending the throne and inheriting the empire. All of you are veteran ministers of the empire. In this time of national crisis, we must unite to support the new Emperor, and no one should harbor a second heart, or else face death without mercy."

Wanyan Kang, after all, was the empire’s foremost War General, of high prestige. His leading call prompted the others to loudly echo:

"Please have the Prince ascend the throne immediately to inherit the empire, we swear to follow!"

At this moment, Dean Xinghai of the Flying Leopard Academy hurriedly entered the hall with dozens of instructors.

Everyone in the hall recognized Dean Xinghai.

Seeing Dean Xinghai, Wanyan He felt greatly relieved.

"Dean!"

Xinghai patted Wanyan He’s shoulder,

"Your Highness, accept the change!"

Then, Xinghai knelt and paid respects before the corpse of the Flying Leopard Emperor.

Yang Xiao nodded to Dean Xinghai, acknowledging the greeting.

Yang Xiao addressed Wanyan He loudly:

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent, let us conduct a simple throne ascension ceremony here in the hall to inherit the empire."

To be frank, Wanyan He was completely unprepared for the haste of the situation, and with his low Evolution Level and few inner-circle ministers in the dynasty, he felt lacking confidence in inheriting the throne.

At this moment, surrounded by Yang Xiao and Xinghai, and with Wanyan Kang’s apparent support and the War Generals’ echoes, he felt somewhat confident and secure.

Xinghai said:

"Your Highness, Yang Xiao is right, ascend the throne immediately. Our Flying Leopard Academy, with more than twenty thousand instructors and students, will fully support you."

After receiving the news of the Flying Leopard Emperor’s death, Xinghai urgently met Elder Ye from the library.

Elder Ye immediately expressed his stance, saying:

"Wanyan He lacks experience, which might make it hard to win people’s confidence, especially pay attention to Wanyan Kang’s attitude. At this time, the Flying Leopard Academy must stand behind the Prince to stabilize the empire’s situation."

Elder Ye, being an elder of the Wanyan Royal Family, naturally did not wish to see the empire fall into chaos and fracture.

The Prince Wanyan He gratefully nodded to Dean Xinghai.

Moments later, in the hall, Wanyan He donned imperial attire, placed the crown on his head, and sat on the throne.

Outside the Royal Palace, resonant bell sounds echoed.

Inside the hall, Yang Xiao, Wanyan Kang, Xinghai, and more than a hundred ministers and War Generals knelt and shouted in unison:

"Salute the Flying Leopard Emperor!"

Simultaneously, thousands of guards in the Royal Palace, along with staff members, upon hearing the bell from the registration hall, knelt in place and loudly shouted "Salute the Flying Leopard Emperor!"

Wanyan He sat on the throne, facing everyone for the first time as the official Emperor.

"Everyone, the empire has encountered unexpected misfortune, Father suffered a tragic death. The top priority is stabilizing the situation, all ministers and War Generals will retain their previous positions, continue performing their duties, and stand firm at their posts.

Additionally, the defense of Wentian City will be taken over by Xiao Gang and Liang Bao, with Xiao Gang as Captain of Wentian City’s Guard Team, Liang Bao and Fan Chen as Deputy Captains.

General Kang, you are respected and have always been the core leader of the military. Please immediately go to the border to command the troops and closely monitor the movements of the Great Dragon Empire’s army to prevent any surprise attacks from the opposition."
