After Duan Wutian finished speaking, the entire audience fell silent. Countless eyes looked at him with a hint of fear.
Emperor, is he finally going to take action against Sikong Xuan?
Duan Wutian looked at Sikong Xuan with a cold expression, and said coldly: "Master Sikong is so outstanding, I think there should be a more suitable candidate for you, right?"
Sikong Xuan and Ji Sai looked at each other, only to see him nod slightly, and then chuckled: "The Emperor may not know something, but I am already a candidate for the next leader of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. I believe that the Emperor should
You won’t be an enemy of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, right?”
After saying these words, everyone's heartbeats suddenly accelerated. They looked at the man standing in the center of the hall with trembling eyes. The shock in their hearts was hard to describe in words.
This young man following Sikong Xuan turned out to be a candidate for the leadership of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. It was simply unbelievable.
Duan Wutian was also shocked at this time. His eyes were fixed on Ji Sai, trying to see a trace of panic in him, but there was none.
Now things have become complicated. If Ji Xi really becomes the next leader of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, he will definitely send troops to Tianyu in the future to avenge today's humiliation.
The gap between Tianyu and Riyue is huge. If the two countries really fight, the loser will definitely be Tianyu.
However, in a short period of time, Duan Wutian seemed to have aged a lot, with some white hair appearing on his temples and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you should agree to this marriage. This will be beneficial to both Tianyu and Sun and Moon." Ji Sai said with a smile, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
His visit this time was not all for Sikong Xuan's sake. He had long wanted to find an ally among the Eighteen Kingdoms. Although the Tianyu Kingdom was weak, it was easier to control.
The words of the season match seemed peaceful, but in fact they had a deep meaning, and they were forcing Duan Wutian to make a choice.
If you don't marry, the sun and moon will send troops to Tianyu. If you marry, both countries will benefit.
Duan Wutian closed his eyes and seemed very tired. He said slowly: "I will tell you the results in seven days."
A smile appeared at the corner of Sikong Xuan's lips, but he was still so calm and calm, and said: "Okay, after seven days, I will wait for your choice, junior."
After saying that, Sikong Xuan led Ji Sai and others out of the hall in a graceful manner, leaving the ministers looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say.
They also knew the powerful relationship, but their background couldn't compete with the Sikong family, so naturally they didn't dare to speak.
"You all should stand down, too." Duan Wutian waved his hand, his voice extremely weak.
At this time, Duan Wutian was the only one left in the empty hall, lying on the throne with his eyes closed.
"Qingmu, what do you think?" Duan Wutian closed his eyes, but his lips wriggled and finally uttered a word.
Those words echoed in the silent space for a long time.
"It seems that we have to rely on someone." After a few breaths, a slightly aged voice finally came from [31 Novel Network ] in the void.
If this scene were seen by other ministers, they would probably be shocked beyond measure.
There is actually a person hidden in this hall. This person has a calm aura and has been dormant in the void. I am afraid that even Sikong Xuan and others have not discovered it.
Once someone among the ministers dares to betray Duan Wutian, the people hiding in the dark will definitely kill them on the spot.
"Who?" Duan Wutian continued to ask.
"The third princess likes someone." The voice floated out in the void, as if it was everywhere.
Duan Wutian's heart was shocked, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of shock: "When did she find someone she liked?"
"That time in the Tianyan Fire Pond, he was the one who sent the third princess into the depths of the fire pond and successfully obtained the Tianxin Fire Lotus. According to my observation, this son's talent is not weak, but his strength is far behind Sikong Xuan."
The voice came out again, seeming a little regretful.
"Is your talent good?" A cold light flashed in Duan Wutian's eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.
"He is currently practicing in Yunxiao Sect, and he may not be able to come out for a while." Seeing Duan Wutian's silence, the man in the void added.
"Really?" Duan Wutian narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes showing a kind of wisdom and coldness that had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Duan Wutian pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "You go down first, and also release the relationship between Ruoxi and this son."
"But if this is too cruel to the princess, I'm afraid Sikong Xuan will kill her!" The man refuted Duan Wutian's order for the first time. He was unwilling to do so.
Duan Wutian showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. If that kid can't stop Sikong Xuan, he doesn't deserve to be with Ruoxi."
There was a cold silence in the void, and there was no more sound.
That person knew deeply that the man in the hall was the real king of Tianyu Kingdom. He seemed approachable but was actually as ferocious as a tiger, and his ruthless methods far surpassed those of Sikong Xuan and others.
Once he decides something, no one can change it.
…
Deep in the palace, there is a dark and dim hall. It is extremely empty. There is no one in the huge space. There is only a huge Buddha statue standing in the center of the hall, which seems a little awkward.
The Buddha statue is dozens of feet high, with a majestic appearance, hands clasped together, and lifelike carvings. At first glance, it looks like a real Buddha. Its majestic eyes look down, like the eyes of gods and Buddhas, penetrating everything.
However, what is surprising is that this Buddha statue is not a golden Buddha, but a black Buddha!
The entire body of the Buddha statue is black, as black as ink, as if it was that way when it was cast. Just looking at it from a distance can make people feel frightened.
The silent hall was like a lake without any ripples. It was eerily quiet, as if no one had stepped in for thousands of years.
However, at a certain moment, a creaking sound was heard, and the door of the hall was pushed open.
"Kick, kick!" The sound of footsteps continued to echo in the empty hall, and a tall and burly figure slowly walked in from the door.
If Sikong Xuan and others were here, I am afraid they would immediately cast a cold gaze on this person.
This person is surprisingly Emperor Tianyu, Duan Wutian!
Duan Wutian was walking in the dark hall. Although he couldn't see his fingers, he seemed to be very familiar with everything here. Even with his eyes closed, he could clearly understand the structure of the hall.
Because, this hall once was the place where he lived!
Many years ago, Emperor Tianyu was not Duan Wutian, but his uncle, Duan Tianfeng.
Duan Tianfeng was ruling the Tianyu Kingdom at that time. He was worthy of being a human emperor. He was at the peak of Yuanfu Realm and could be called Tianyu's invincible. He had protected the peace of the Tianyu Kingdom for hundreds of years.
What is even more enviable is that his eldest son Duan Chen is even more talented. He was the head of the Ten Lords of Tianyu at that time and stood at the top of Tianyu's peers.
At that time, Duan Wutian was just an extremely ordinary prince. After practicing for more than twenty years, he was only at the third or fourth level of the Kaiyuan Realm. He could not be compared with Duan Chen.
Originally, he thought that he would be doing nothing in his life, but one day the emperor issued an order granting him the qualification to practice in the palace of Tianwu King.
What Duan Tianfeng didn't know was that this order completely changed Duan Wutian's fate, and also changed Duan Chen's fate.
I don't know since when, Duan Wutian's talent has improved by leaps and bounds, becoming more and more powerful day by day, and soon reached the Yuanfu realm, and even has an upward trend.
Three years later, Duan Wutian's strength has reached the same level as Duan Chen's cultivation level, which is the seventh level of Yuanfu Realm.
For a time, Duan Wutian's sharpness faintly overshadowed Duan Chen's. Everyone was shocked by Duan Wutian's cultivation speed, especially Duan Tianfeng, who praised him very much and gave him countless rewards.
However, one day ten years later, a sound suddenly came from the palace that made everyone in Tianyu Kingdom tremble.
Emperor Tianyu Duan Tianfeng suddenly passed away, the eldest prince Duan Chen disappeared mysteriously, and the throne will be succeeded by King Tianwu.
After that day, the emperor of Tianyu Kingdom was Duan Wutian, who was titled Emperor Tianwu.
This incident caused a stir at the time, and countless people raised questions. It all happened by coincidence, and it seemed that someone was secretly controlling everything.
Suddenly one day, in the sky above Tianyu Kingdom, a huge palm covering the sky appeared, as if it wanted to cover the sky of Tianyu!
What shocked countless people even more was that the giant palm that covered the sky was black, but it revealed a strong power of Buddhism. The brilliance of Buddhism was flowing on it, and ancient Buddhist characters were faintly visible. It was an extremely terrifying suppressive power.
It falls from the sky, making people suffocate.
Countless frightened eyes looked up at the giant palm suspended in the sky, their hearts trembled wildly, and they felt cold all over.
Later, a low voice sounded in the void: "Duan Chen is dead. He died under this palm."
As soon as the sound ended, the big palm print of Buddhism in the sky fell straight down, with terrifying suppressive power, and slapped on a 100-foot-high mountain peak.
There was only a loud rumbling sound, and everyone went to watch, only to see that the mountain peak was flattened to the ground and reduced to ashes.
From then on, no one in Tianyu Kingdom dared to mention this past event, treating it as a taboo and not allowed to be mentioned.
Duan Wutian also naturally secured his throne, and his pressure covered the entire Tianyu Kingdom, and there was no other voice.
At this time, Duan Wutian looked at the dark Buddha statue in front of him and said gently: "Long time no see. We haven't seen each other for about forty years, right?"
After a while, there was a faint light shining above the dark Buddha statue, as if something was about to revive.
"You are finally here. I have suffered from hunger these years. Is there any harvest this time?" The dark Buddha statue seemed to be alive and actually made a human voice.
Duan Wutian's face changed slightly, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and he said coldly: "Aren't the two of them enough for you to last forty years?"
"Hmph, it's just two Yuanfu realms. How can it satisfy this emperor's appetite? I'll give you one year to give me another one at the peak of the Yuanfu realm. It's best not to be over thirty years old. I'm sure it will be over by then.
I’m going to be out of seclusion soon, right?”
The dark hall was constantly echoing with extremely obscene and evil screams, making it difficult for people to imagine what evil things existed in this Buddha statue.
