Chapter 3733: The Third Princes Ace Card

The third prince stared solemnly deeper into the palace. For him, the arrow had been drawn and couldnt be stopped.

Your Highness, what about the temple? The strategist was slightly worried.

Sure, Ancestral Temple, Martial Hall, and War Camp were the three pillars of Vajra. They have been holding Vajra together for generations.

However, in terms of the succession process, Ancestral Temple still had the biggest influence.

Martial Hall focused on training talents in order to produce experts for Vajra. The majority of nobles and royal guards came from this institution. They were loyal on top of being mighty.

As for War Camp, it was the strongest legion of Vajra - absolutely crucial in dealing with foreign enemies and defending the land.

Nonetheless, these two lacked the same weight compared to Ancestral Temple when it came to the direction of Vajra. This was especially true for the successor decision.

Without the temples approval, having the support of both War Camp and Martial Hall was still not enough. After all, the ancestors in the temple were the true fighting force of Vajra.

Thats why the strategist remained worried for the third prince. Li Qiye had the saber so to a certain extent, he represented the temple.

The third prince was excellent but he lacked one thing - seniority. His older brother had a stronger claim to the throne according to the rules of Vajra. This could only be overturned by the temple. Even the king himself lacked this authority.

Prior to this, the third princes advantages were clear due to his meritorious achievements. He had the support of court officials and nobles. Many sects in Divine Ghost Division were on his side.

On the other hand, the crown prince seemed ordinary in comparison. Others remained neutral about him.

Thats why many thought that the possibility of him being replaced by the third prince was immensely high.

Its just that the recent developments caused by Li Qiye changed everything. The neutral parties began joining the crown princes faction due to Li Qiye.

Well see who'll be the victor in the end. The third prince narrowed his eyes and uttered coldly: Just wait, it wont be long now.

He had no way out the moment he embarked on the competition for the throne. The winner takes all - either becoming the king or losing his head.

After all, everyone knew about his ambition. Even if he wanted to give up, his followers might not necessarily agree.

Plus, his life wouldnt be easy after the crown prince officially became king due to suspicions. Thats why this could only end with either his or the crown princes death.

What do you mean, Your Highness? The strategist remained puzzled.

Li Qiye is nothing more than a saber messenger. The prince scowled: He cant represent the entire temple. Say, we have some support from an ancestor, it renders him meaningless.

Which ancestor? The strategist became lively again.

Youll find out soon enough, that Li Qiye wont be able to act haughty for long. Hes nothing without the saber. The crown princes eyes became murderous.

In the history of Vajra, as geniuses grew older and stronger, they would have an opportunity to enter Ancestral Temple. It seemed that the prince had obtained some help from there.

Im at ease now after hearing this, Your Highness. Well be victorious for sure. The strategist said.

The third prince had everything, just missing the easterly wind. The throne would be his with the help of Ancestral Temple.
