“When does the succession war even start, family head? For a month now, that is the only word that I have heard, but I still do not understand it completely.” Liu Feng said.

“Ah! I forget that Young Noble is new to the capital and is still not accustomed to the ways of the capital. I will explain everything at once,” Cai Guo’s words could be heard.

“And why is it that I am your young noble? I thought that as a contender to the throne, I am also a prince. How is it that I am just an ordinary noble?” Liu Feng asked.

“That… is a complicated answer, Young Noble. Although you are a true heir to the throne, you are still not a prince. You are a heir to the throne because your line of blood has been deemed to be special. You are heir to the throne because your mother, the dragon princess, was heir to the throne, and her blood was accepted by the throne itself.” Cai Guo said.

“All of this is indeed so complicated. Why don’t you talk to me from the beginning. Just what the hell is the succession war? When will it start. And how will it finish?” Liu Feng asked.

They were in a vast room. A room with windows everywhere, bright with sunlight.

They were still in the Cai Family’s area. This was a room in a building that hadn’t been touched for a long, long time. The last time that someone important was in here was when the last succession wars happened.

And that was because this was the war room of the Cai family. A single map of the capital was shown on the table in front of them.

A table that was long enough to accommodate maybe twenty, thirty people at once? It was a big table, and Liu Feng was at the head of it, not understanding what he was looking at.

There was no one else in the room except for Cai Guo. Min Wan and Liu Man were cultivating. Even the white tiger did like to cultivate.

And according to his words, “I am not going to waste my time planning how you are going to win. Once you guys are done and are going to start the attack, call me. I will come in, and kill the people that I am supposed to.”

Now, Liu Feng only had Cai Guo here, because the other elders were not allowed here. For now, this was a private conversation now.

“How is it that this guy doesn’t seem to know a single thing about how the world works? He seems to understand everything perfectly and is so strong, but things that even a child would know about, he doesn’t know. It is like he didn’t learn a single thing except for cultivation when he was little.” Cai Guo thought inside, but he didn’t dare voice these rebellious thoughts.

“Yes, Young Noble. Should I start now?” Cai Guo asked amicably.

“We are already late to the party, Family head. The more time we waste dilly dallying on this, the less time I will have preparing for this war that is upon us. Go on. Tell me what war I am a part of.” Liu Feng asked.

“The succession wars are a genius baby of the second King of Tiandu. While other kingdoms just name a crown prince, and then all princes randomly fight when the king dies, Tiandu does not wish to do that. It’s situation is a bit unique. This is not common knowledge, so I do not expect you to know.”

“The king is only the king because of the special throne that he sits on. A throne that is so strong and unlike no other. It is without a doubt, the most precious treasure in all of Tiandu, and dare I say, the entire world. That is because whoever binds his blood to the throne, will have control of the strongest army that the world has ever seen.” Cai Guo took a deep breath, just shuddering at the thought of this huge army.

“The terracotta army. An army filled with thousands of Xiantian Realm experts, dozens of Soul Evolution Stage experts, and hundreds of thousands below these levels. This is a force that is unstoppable. But there is a reason that the Tian army hasn’t taken over the world with it. This army cannot leave the capital city unless the one who binds his blood to the throne sacrifices his life force. And even then, the army can only go to what are now the borders of Tiandu.”

“Wait. So the terracotta army is limited by the borders of the Tiandu kingdom?” Liu Feng asked.

“You might have misunderstood me, Young Noble. The Tiandu borders are the way they are BECAUSE of the limits of the Terracotta army. Beyond them, no one fears Tiandu. Within, no one dares to offend the royal family.”

This was like a thunder clap in Liu Feng’s ears. Which army was so strong that this could be said of them?

“Obviously, this is a force that was not supposed to be meant for the Tian family. When the Han family was weaker than it ever was, and the Han dynasty was crumbling, the first King of Tiandu took control of a force and rebelled, creating what is now Tiandu.”

“And the Han dynasty that the throne was taken from collapsed, becoming the Handu kingdom that is beside us. It fell from grace, while Tiandu became one of the biggest kingdoms this world had ever seen.”

“Such a nice history of the succession wars. Now I know why they exist. So that there is someone always in the helm. But there isn’t one now, is there? So what is going to happen now?” Liu Feng asked.

“This is something that has never happened before, Young Noble. And this is why every single power in the entire kingdom, every single expert above the Xiantian realm, is coming to the capital right now. The succession war isn’t all that they are coming for. They are here to protect the throne from any outsider that wants to claim it.”
