Among the six superiors Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, Shihuashan, Mu Pei, and Chi Tian, looking at the dozens of imperial warriors who were looking angry and yelling at each other, their already pale faces suddenly turned pale.
It was even harder to look at, his eyes were flickering and uncertain.
Especially Chi Tian and Shi Huashan, these two upright emperors, how had they ever been so humiliated?
The two people who were injured and supporting them were about to speak angrily; but as soon as they raised their heads, their eyes instantly collided with Ye Wushuang, who turned to look at him. Suddenly, his heart palpitated, a chill ran down his spine, and he swallowed the words that reached his lips.
; They all pursed their lips and fell silent.
Even the founders of the Tianyun Shangguo were so frightened that they retreated without a fight and fled. Although the two of them were the masters of the Shangguo, they obviously had no superiority in front of Ye Wushuang.
If he accidentally angered Ye Wushuang, he would probably die on the spot!
"You attacked Tianmen?"
A cold voice then sounded.
Ye Wushuang's face was gloomy at this moment, and his eyes were filled with cold light. He glanced at the masters of the six great kingdoms one by one, and asked in a deep voice: "You still want to kill Pu Ruozhi?"
"No, no..."
The masters of the six great kingdoms were all stunned, but Gongsun Zhengning was the first to react and hurriedly explained: "We...we did have some intentions against Tianmen before, but for the Cangyun warriors, especially the Lord Black and White, we are even more...
He had never had any murderous intention; in fact, he was persuaded many times to let him retreat on his own."
"They are all Gongmen Tianyu, but they are targeting Pu Ruozhi, and they look like they want to kill him quickly; the few of us actually have no grudge against Pu Ruozhi, let alone any murderous intention!"
The plan to fight for Tianmen is almost a certainty and cannot be explained at all; otherwise, how could they appear here?
And they want to seize Tianmen, and Pu Ruozhi wants to guard Tianmen, so the two become hostile and fight, which is actually driven by interests.
There is no way to get to the bottom of right and wrong; at best, it can be regarded as a winner or a loser!
But if they admitted that they had murderous intentions towards Pu Ruozhi, then the meaning would be different.
The Black and White Venerable Pu Ruozhi is not only one of the few illusion warriors in the history of Eastern Wilderness martial arts, but also one of the founders of the Cangyun Empire. He has a long-standing reputation and reputation in the Cangyun Empire and even among the five great empires of the Eastern Wilderness.
Prestige is the idol in the hearts of countless warriors and is extremely influential.
Although Gongsun Zhengning and others are the lords of the Eastern Wilderness Kingdom, they are not even close to Pu Ruozhi. If they kill the injured Pu Ruozhi for the sake of profit, and even bully the younger ones, then no matter in name
It is unjustifiable both physically and morally.
Especially for the warriors of the five Eastern Wasteland empires, it doesn't matter if they defeat Pu Ruozhi in an upright and fair manner. If they use other despicable means to kill Pu Ruozhi, it will definitely be unacceptable to them!
What's more, although Ye Wushuang didn't say it explicitly, just by mentioning Pu Ruozhi's name alone, it was enough to see that he seemed to attach great importance to Pu Ruozhi.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhengning immediately chose to truthfully tell the people the purpose of coming here, but only shied away from the matter about the Lord Black and White.
Such a half-truth and half-false statement cannot be explained clearly unless the person involved is present!
Sure enough, after hearing these words, all the imperial warriors immediately stopped their activities and became much calmer.
Even Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruo'er's expressions softened a bit, and they both turned their heads to look at Ye Wushuang.
Some things still need Ye Wushuang to make a decision!
"What he said is true?"
Ye Wushuang did not pay attention to Gongsun Zhengning at this moment. Instead, he turned to look at Tao Jingyuan and asked: "Is Gongmen Tianyu trying to kill Pu Ruozhi, or are these people trying to kill Pu Ruozhi?"
This Ye Wushuang seems to attach great importance to Lord Black and White... When Tao Jingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately replied: "When I arrived, it was indeed Gongmen Tianyu who wanted to kill
Lord Black and White; as for these people, they are fighting against other warriors from the Cangyun Empire."
"However, they and Gongmen Tianyu had formed an alliance and cooperated before, and it was not impossible for them to have some kind of division of labor between them. Moreover, Gongmen Tianyu was the strongest among the seven masters of the great kingdoms. He could deal with Lord Black and White alone.
It’s excusable..."
"fart!"
Before Tao Jingyuan could finish what he said, Sikong Yuanlong on the side interrupted him directly and shouted: "Tao Jingyuan, I and a few others were outside Tianmen before, and we did have some friction with you, but you are not going to be punished by Yaizi, are you?
"
"that is!"
"Sect Master Tao, it was Gongmen Tianyu who destroyed your illusory clone, and it was Gongmen Tianyu who encouraged us to take action against you. Now that Gongmen Tianyu is dead, if you still have unresolved grievances, just kill the six of us one by one.
Just behead them, so why slander us?"
"good!"
"Shi Ke can't be humiliated. I and a few others were defeated today. We admit defeat. But if you want to slap us, it's absolutely impossible!"
As soon as these words came out, You Hongyi, Shihuashan, Mu Pei, and Chi Tian reacted instantly. They all understood the meaning of Gongsun Zhengning's words and hurriedly spoke one after another, speaking in unison.
Gongsun Zhengning stood up even more tremblingly, glanced at Tao Jingyuan coldly, then looked at Ye Wushuang, slightly cupped his hands, and said without being humble or arrogant: "Young Master Ye, what we did today is indeed a bit...
It’s not shameful, but that’s what interests people and it’s human nature.”
"After all, I'm afraid everyone here is well aware of the value of a Ten Thousand Beast Ridge; in addition to the tens of thousands of ancient demon clans, there may also be huge ancient resources hidden there."
"Let me ask, who can remain unmoved in the face of such a huge temptation of interests? Who can avoid greed and anger?"
At this point, Gongsun Zhengning paused slightly and continued: "As Lord Shi of the Kingdom of White Star said, today we are defeated, we admit it; Mr. Ye wants to kill or behead him, please do as you please, I
There will definitely be no dissatisfaction.”
"But Mr. Ye wants to kill people and bring shame on others, and he wants to make me and a few others bear a bad name before they die; I will never agree and will not surrender even if I die!"
"That's right, even if I die, I will never agree!"
"Even if I die, I will never agree!"
As soon as these words came out, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, and Mu Pei immediately stood up, and Shi Huashan and Chi Tian, who were supporting each other not far away, unanimously held their heads high and shouted angrily.
What a generous gesture that will not be humiliated until death!
Seeing this scene, Tao Jingyuan was immediately speechless, Lin Ruoer frowned slightly, and all the imperial warriors looked at each other.
Only Chu Yuntian's face suddenly became dull, and his eyes rolled quietly, as if he was rapidly calculating something in his mind.
"What a proud figure who would rather break than bend. The Lord of the Kingdom is indeed more courageous than the Emperor of the Empire."
Ye Wushuang raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this moment, but his childish face was filled with a bit of coldness and domineering, and he said coldly: "Since you all have such character, I will help you and let you leave with this character!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, Shihuashan, and Mu Peichitian all changed drastically.
Tao Jingyuan, Lin Ruo'er, and the dozen or so remaining imperial warriors did not say much, but frowned slightly and looked on coldly.
These lords of the kingdom have done countless evil things on the surface, and they have done countless dirty things behind the scenes. At this moment, no matter what Gongsun Zhengning and others say is true or false, whether they are really dignified, or they are pretending to be noble.
, in fact, the impact is not big.
In the entire Eastern Barren Continent, except for the direct descendants of the seven masters of the superior kingdoms, there is probably no one who does not curse these masters of the superior kingdoms; there is not a single warrior who does not want to kill them quickly!
"Master!"
At this moment, Chu Yuntian suddenly shouted, and immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and came to Ye Wushuang. A hint of cunning flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he bowed his hands and said: "These people cannot be killed!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang, who was about to draw his sword, was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Chu Yuntian with some surprise and confusion.
In the past hundred years, the Cangyun Empire seems to have been oppressed by the four surrounding empires; but in fact, behind every crisis in the empire, there is the shadow of the superior kingdom; and for many years, it has not been known to be oppressed by the seven superior kingdoms.
How many times have I been humiliated?
Logically speaking, everyone present could intercede for Gongsun Zhengning and others, except Chu Yuntian. But at this moment, why did Chu Yuntian suddenly stand up?
Lin Ruo'er was also startled by Chu Yuntian's sudden move. On her cold and pretty face, her eyebrows were almost furrowed into the character "Chuan", and her phoenix eyes were full of doubts.
Tao Jingyuan also turned his head and looked curiously.
Even Gongsun Zhengning and the other six lords of the kingdom, whose faces were ashen and whose hearts were sinking into the sea, looked at Chu Yuntian in surprise and confusion.
Chu Yuntian had only succeeded him as Emperor Chu for more than a month. Let alone friendship, it was even the first time they had met each other today. They really couldn't figure out why this little emperor of the Cangyun Empire suddenly jumped out to help them at this time.
plead!
"Tell me your reasons."
Ye Wushuang thought for a moment, then put down his right hand that was resting on the Emperor's Three Swords, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showed a smile, and said lightly.
"The reason is very simple. The Cangyun Empire is currently in dire straits and is extremely weak; the two great empires of Beiming and Dongyue are nearby, waiting for the opportunity; and outside, there are millions of troops from the Tianyuan Kingdom hoarding at the border, ready to go."
Chu Yuntian seemed to have thought of everything at this moment, and immediately talked eloquently, saying: "Now that Ximen Yangping and Nangong Qian are having troubles one after another, the alliance just signed by the three empires may be broken at any time; under such circumstances, if we
If we directly kill Gongsun Zhengning and others, we will definitely offend the other six great kingdoms."
"At that time, it will undoubtedly be worse for Cangyun Empire!"
Speaking of this, Chu Yuntian paused and continued: "Of course, this matter actually has nothing to do with the young master. Yuntian mentioning it at this time may be offensive; if it was two months ago, Yuntian would not have intervened.
, let alone dissuade the young master."
"But now, as the Emperor of Chu, Yuntian should consider the tens of millions of people in Cangyun, the hundreds of millions of living beings, and the safety of all people in the world."
"When we fight together, no matter what the outcome is, the entire Cang Yun will be devastated. Therefore, Yuntian invites you boldly and begs the young master to think twice before you act!"
After saying this, Chu Yuntian paused for a moment, suddenly lifted up his shirt, and knelt down!
Seeing this scene and hearing these words, everyone present was stunned and completely confused.
The majestic lord of a country, the emperor, actually knelt down and kowtowed to others in front of everyone. This was never done before in the Eastern Wasteland, let alone in the entire Tianjian Continent, in the thousands of years of human rule.
It has appeared before!
When Ye Wushuang saw this, he also frowned and his eyes flashed.
Before Chu Yuntian met him, although he was a descendant of the royal family, his life was not very good; let alone inheriting the throne, he was not even qualified to participate in the battle for the right to inherit the throne; he was completely at the side-runner level, and could still be at any time
There is a risk to life.
And after getting to know Ye Wushuang, he not only soared into the sky, first he directly became the prince, and then he usurped the throne and inherited the throne. It can be said that his life turned around 180 degrees, and he flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix.
But even so, Chu Yuntian never knelt down to Ye Wushuang.
But at this moment, he actually knelt down to him for the sake of six unrelated and even vengeful Lords of the Kingdom.
Simply unbelievable!
As for what Chu Yuntian said eloquently, Ye Wushuang actually knew the core meaning in his heart.
First, because the leader of the country has an extraordinary status. Once he is killed, no matter what the reason is, it will most likely cause his country to be shaken and the whole country to take revenge.
The second is the Cangyun Empire, which has long since declined to the extreme. It has become the bottom of the empire and is in danger of being destroyed at any time.
Under such circumstances, let alone resisting the invasion of the seven great kingdoms, even the Beiming and Dongyue empires could easily destroy Cangyun once they raise their troops!
However, if we don’t kill Gongsun Zhengning and a few others, can we keep Donghuang stable and avoid war? Can we ensure that Cangyun is stable and free from invasion?
Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment, stared at Chu Yuntian, and asked softly: "Do you think that if I let them go today, Cangyun will be worry-free? Will they not take revenge?"
"Of course not!"
Chu Yuntian replied without thinking: "But not killing does not mean letting go; Yuntian believes that these people may be more valuable alive than dead!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Gongsun Zhengning, Sikong Yuanlong, You Hongyi, Shihuashan, Mu Pei, and Chi Tian all changed again, and they looked panicked.
Tao Jingyuan, Lin Ruo'er, and the remaining dozen imperial warriors all had their eyes widened as they suddenly realized.
Indeed, Gongsun Zhengning and others are all lords of the kingdom, and their status and status are extremely impressive. If they are not killed, but held in their hands as handles, their role will definitely be greater than that of a few corpses.
, much larger.
At least, the Cangyun Empire, which holds the heads of the six great kingdoms, has great hopes of directly suppressing the seven great kingdoms; it can even threaten the emperor to order the princes!
"Young Master, Chu Yun...what your Majesty said is not unreasonable."
Lin Ruo'er was the first to express her support at this moment, saying: "If we use these people as bargaining chips, we can at least make the other six countries except Ren Sui Shangguo surrender."
"good!"
Tao Jingyuan also nodded and chose to support, saying: "Although the forces in the Upper Kingdom are more complex and chaotic than the empire, the Lord of the Upper Kingdom has an extremely transcendent status. They are left to suppress the six empires in a short time.
, but it’s a good strategy.”
"Previously, I was just looking for a quick fix and didn't consider the matter comprehensively. It was a bit too small!"
Having said this, Tao Jingyuan laughed, then looked at Chu Yuntian and said with admiration: "Now the new Majesty of the Cangyun Empire, right?"
"At such a young age, he can care about the people and the world; he even puts down his body to do so. Based on this alone, it will not be a problem for the Cangyun Empire to regain its former glory!"
"Thank you very much for the compliment from Sect Master Tao. Yuntian is just doing his job. In the future, you still need to rely on Sect Master Tao for Cang Yun's affairs!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Tao Jingyuan nodded with a smile, then turned to Ye Wushuang and said, "Young friend Ye, I think what your majesty said is good. I hope you can consider it."
"After all, most of the time, living people are often more valuable than dead people!"
