The Fourth Prince glanced at the First Prince. Although they were enemies before, the First Prince's current situation made the Fourth Prince feel sad.
However, this is something that cannot be changed.
"There is nothing for me to do here. Can I leave now?" The eldest prince asked in a flat tone with a blank expression.
"Send the eldest prince back home."
At the Fourth Prince's command, several soldiers came out and escorted the First Prince back to the palace.
The eldest prince had no objection and followed the soldiers back to the palace.
"I hope he can spend his last moments in peace."
The fourth prince looked at the eldest prince's back and said something.
Then, the Fourth Prince looked at Chen Lei and said, "Chen Lei, what should we do next?"
Chen Lei said, "Fourth Prince, now that we have Elder Wu under our control, we don't need to rush to act, lest we alert the enemy. These people from the Demon Mist Organization are just lurking and have no signs of action. In this way, we can quietly get rid of all of them without anyone noticing, or even replace them with our people. Elder Wu will also continue to act as usual, and he might become a nail in our way of driving into the Demon Mist."
After listening to Chen Lei's suggestion, the Fourth Prince nodded and agreed with Chen Lei's idea.
Indeed, if they take large-scale action now and kill all those lurking in the Demon Mist, the noise will be too loud and will inevitably alert the Demon Mist. But if they do it quietly and slowly, the Demon Mist will surely not notice it. In this way, they can turn light into darkness and be in an active position.
Afterwards, Chen Lei and the Fourth Prince left the prison, accompanied by Elder Wu. This time, Elder Wu returned to the First Prince's mansion and continued to serve as the master of the Demonic Mist Altar.
Since Chen Lei's puppetry skills are extremely advanced, even if Elder Wu becomes a puppet, he is no different from an ordinary person, and no one can easily see the flaws. In this case, as long as he spends some time, he can quietly control the entire power of the Demonic Mist in the Fire Nation.
This matter cannot be accomplished overnight, and Chen Lei will not focus all his attention on this matter. He just told Elder Wu his order, and Elder Wu will handle the matter properly.
During the following period of time, Chen Lei practiced in seclusion, while the Fourth Prince officially ascended the throne and became the new Fire Emperor, handling all affairs of the Fire Kingdom.
After Chen Lei went into seclusion, the first thing he did was to repair the hidden injuries in his body.
This time in the ancestral land of the Yan clan, he could be said to have reaped huge rewards, but he also paid a considerable price.
You know, the hidden danger of his frequent use of critical runes will become a thorn in his heart if it is not eliminated one day. Once it breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Chen Lei’s main purpose of this retreat is to eliminate the hidden dangers in his body.
In addition to eliminating hidden dangers, another thing Chen Lei has to do is to find the Suzaku Bone Tempering Technique from the looted Yan clan treasure house to see whether this legendary technique actually exists.
There is also a third purpose, which is that Chen Lei must digest and absorb all the information he obtained from the Flame God Stone about the origin of fire, the Flame God's insights, etc. You must know that he has obtained a huge amount of information in the Flame God Stone, all of which are precious experiences of the Flame God's cultivation and enlightenment. It is a rare and huge fortune. Once digested and absorbed, his strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds.
