I really became a king.

Chapter 52: The Second King of a Different Surname? (Please vote for recommendation)

Not many people noticed what happened between Jiang Se and his son, as everyone's attention was focused on the ring.

One round decides life or death, and the next battle will be the final battle of Longmen Arena.

No one knew who the young man walking towards the ring was. He was wearing a white robe and had a rectangular package slung across his back. He was about as tall as a person. He walked onto the ring step by step, emitting an ethereal aura.

"What a handsome and elegant young man!" Many people couldn't help but admire him.

Some people who are attentive have discovered something unusual in this ethereal and otherworldly aura. This otherworldly aura gives them a sense of déjà vu.

“If I had known you were so incompetent, I wouldn’t have sent these cannon fodders to the stage.” After the young man came on stage, he whispered softly, his voice also carrying a kind of ethereal quality that was not tainted by the mundane world.

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the extremely handsome young man in front of him. Especially his extraordinary temperament and eyes as deep as the starry sky, it was indeed easy to develop a good impression of him.

"Which branch of the Dali royal family are you from?"

After searching the information collected in his mind, Jiang Yi had no information about this person, but his face seemed familiar.

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Ye Zichen."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Colosseum began to buzz with discussion.

The Longmen Arena was a contest for the inheritance of the royal title. It was the exclusive arena for the Dali royal family, and only the Dali royal family had the qualifications to participate. But the opponent was surnamed Ye, and was obviously not from the Dali royal family.

Was he adopted out? Then he shouldn't belong to the royal family anymore.

The surname is Ye? The sensitive person thought of something and his face changed. This Dragon Gate Tournament felt weird from the beginning. It turned out that the weirdness was here.

"Ye Zichen was born in the Ye family of Bailing. He was adopted by the Queen since he was young and has the status of a member of the Dali royal family."

The eunuch who had been the host all along, suddenly spoke up and said something, which was tantamount to acknowledging the other party's qualifications to challenge.

The Bailing Ye family is the current queen's maiden family. Everyone understands what this means.

Since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, there has only been one king of a different surname, the Mu family of Beijiang. Apart from them, no other kings of different surnames have ever been conferred titles. This is an iron rule.

But now, this iron rule has been broken, and the Ye family of Bailing is seeking to become the second king of a different surname in the Dali Dynasty.

When Prince Duan died, although his title was reduced, he was still a prince, a genuine prince. Considering that the final winner of this Longmen Tournament would be granted a military post and lead an army.

All of this was planned in advance, and the mastermind behind the scenes is undoubtedly the current Queen!
The adopted son of Ye, whose surname is not Jiang, and who is in charge of an army, has great ambitions...

There was a sudden burst of exclamation and commotion from a corner of the Colosseum, and a faint voice was heard shouting:

"Prince Zhong vomited blood and fainted!"

Looking at Prince Zhong Jiang Se who was being carried out, Jiang Yi shook his head. He originally thought that he would be the one to reap the benefits in the end, but in the end he found out that he was just a chess piece. The gap was too big to bear.

He failed to steal the chicken but ended up buying the rice. Not only did he offend almost the entire direct royal family, but he also offended the current Emperor of Dali. He used to have the Empress protecting him, but now...

"As expected..."

"But it looks like I won this bet!"

Jiang Yi turned his gaze to a corner. In his previous life, the second king of a different surname also appeared. He was also from the Ye family of Bailing, but it happened more than ten years later, and it was not Ye Zichen. An Ruhai felt Jiang Yi's gaze, smiled and nodded, and sighed in his heart:
"Sure enough, he was right. This is the real purpose of today's Dragon Gate Contest."

"I hope you won't disappoint the Emperor..."

This battle will be the first open clash between the Emperor of Dali and the Queen. After so many years of being in harmony with each other, they have finally come to the point of falling out.

"Are you from a secluded sect?" Jiang Yi asked, looking at the ethereal aura of the other person.

Ye Zichen nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Secluded sects are not allowed to interfere with worldly power. This is an iron rule in the Wild Continent, but since when, this iron rule began to be broken.

For example, the Queen Ye Xinmei of the Dali Dynasty came from a secluded sect. This situation also existed in the other three dynasties, but it was more symbolic.

But it is extremely rare for someone from a secular sect to be granted the title of king!
Not to mention the title of king, he didn't even have any other low-level titles, let alone a powerful military position leading an army.

"I was born in Dongxutai." Ye Zichen added.

Dongxutai? Which sect is this? For most people, they have only heard of the seven sects and eight schools, but they don't know the specific name.
Dongxutai is one of the seven sects and eight schools. It mainly practices swordsmanship and is famous for its killing.

"People outside the world should enjoy their blessings in your fairyland and cultivate your immortal skills wholeheartedly. Why bother getting involved in worldly disputes?" Jiang Yi said slowly.

Once upon a time, the secular sects were also part of the secular world, but these secular people considered themselves superior to others, acted recklessly, and acted entirely according to their own preferences. They regarded human life as worthless, making the entire secular world a mess and full of complaints.

Finally, they were driven out of the secular world by the secular dynasty and forced to stay in the mountains, only then was order restored in the secular world.

But many years have passed, and the secular sects have forgotten the oaths they once made, and are trying to interfere in the secular world again.

"Haha, you are so arrogant. You can't even protect yourself, and you still worry about this."

"I was originally thinking of letting you step down alive, but based on what you just said, I changed my mind."

Ye Zichen spoke in a light tone and with a calm expression, he felt a little regretful in his heart that today's layout was not perfect.

The reason why he appeared last, in addition to ensuring that everything was foolproof, was mainly to use Jiang Yi to instigate infighting among the direct descendants of the Dali royal family.

According to the plan, as long as Jiang Yi kills a few direct descendants of the royal family, it will naturally arouse dissatisfaction among some direct members. Then he will appear again and kill the opponent cleanly and neatly.

Naturally, he would gain recognition from a portion of the direct royal family, and then inheriting the title and taking charge of an army would become a natural outcome.

Unfortunately, Jiang Se and his son were too useless. They failed to instigate even one direct member. All those who died were distant relatives, which instead enhanced the other party's reputation among the direct royal family.

"You are waiting to pick the last peach, and I am also waiting for you."

Jiang Yi said that he teamed up with Mo Ruhaibu to set up this scheme just to lure the snake out of its hole.

Ye Zichen frowned slightly, as if he understood something. He didn't like this feeling.

"It seems that you are pretending, but it's useless. The secular martial arts... Haha, how can the light of a firefly compete with the bright moon!"

"Then let me show you how I cut the moon!"
