Chapter 295: Who Said That Your Opponent Is Him?

The Crown Prince had personally gone to Xiahou Mansion to acknowledge him as his master back then, but Xiahou Tang rejected him.

The Crown Prince was furious that he was brushed away.

After returning to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. He was about to get someone to teach Xiahou Tang a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Tang came personally that night and openly accepted him as his disciple.

The Crown Prince was not the only one who was puzzled. Even the Eldest Prince was puzzled.

The Crown Prince initially thought that Xiahou Tang had suddenly gone back on his word and accepted him as his disciple to monitor him on behalf of the Eldest Prince.

However, he discovered by chance that the Eldest Prince was rejected when he personally went to Xiahou Mansion to find Xiahou Tang.

Not only that, but Xiahou Tang even personally looked for him and said that he could help him ascend the throne. However, the prerequisite was that he wanted the State Minister’s position.

The Crown Prince initially thought that he was joking. It was only when he conjured food and tea out of thin air that he belatedly realized that there was something wrong with the ‘Xiahou Tang’ in front of him.

Xiahou Tang was once the guard of the Emperor and was extremely skilled.

Later on, when his father ascended the throne, he was once the leader of the imperial guards. Unfortunately, due to a serious illness, he personally resigned from this position.

The real Xiahou Tang was upright while this ‘Xiahou Tang’ was forever filled with schemes and ambitions.

Later on, ‘Xiahou Tang’ also confessed to him that he was not the original Xiahou Tang. The real Xiahou Tang had already been possessed by him.

He even said that he came from a tribe, and was a demon manipulator and a beast tamer.

The Crown Prince, who had seen the State Minister’s capabilities, did not feel fear after hearing his identity. Instead, he felt happy.

With such an amazing person holding the fort, would his day of ascension be far away?

Now, his father was already in his sixties and his body was gradually weakening. If not for the State Minister’s help in refining elixirs, he would not have lasted till now.

The Crown Prince retracted his thoughts and smiled coldly.

Was the chance he had been waiting for more than thirty years finally coming?

He could even see the officials who usually disdained him fawning over him in the future in order to please him.

In the suburbs.

“Senior Brother, what should we do?”

Ignoring the Red Dog, he could not even deal with the few Illusory Demons beside it that could transform into human forms for a long time.

The State Minister looked at Chu Sihan. “Lord Chu, can you deal with that Red Dog?”

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan nodded slightly.

He said to Lu Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, you, the State Minister, and Master will deal with those Illusory Demons. Be careful!”

“Yes!”

Lu Sheng nodded heavily. “Lord, you have to be careful too!”

“I’ll be fine.”

He smiled and turned to face that Red Dog. “Let’s begin.”

They nodded at the same time, took out their weapons, and ran towards Red Dog.

“Jiejie—”

Those few Illusory Demons landed on the ground and laughed weirdly.

“Let us deal with these four humans!”

“Fool!”

Chi Ming’s voice seemed to travel from afar. It was deep and powerful.

He retorted that Illusory Demon and said coldly, “One of the four is not human.”

“Not human?”

Those few Illusory Demons subconsciously looked at the State Minister.

The State Minister quickly made a few hand seals and a glowing white lotus appeared in his hand.

“You’re not my match.”

Chi Ming looked at the State Minister with disdain.

The State Minister looked up at him, his gaze cold and silent.

“Who said that your opponent is him?”

Chu Sihan held a red sword and landed in front of Chi Ming.
