Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Inside the Jinluan Palace, the air was filled with sandalwood incense. Emperor Mingde's words caused the palace to fall into a brief silence.

Jun Yu did not say anything else. He could not influence the decision of his master. As for the apology, Emperor Mingde's words were sincere. Of course, he believed that the other party would do so, but he also saw clearly the other party's intention at this time.

If human hearts are like chess pieces, then Emperor Mingde is the master in the game. This move of retreating to advance, using the name of his master Li Changsheng to intimidate the people in front of him, is indeed a good plan.

"Everyone, please take a seat!"

When Emperor Mingde saw that Jun Yu did not respond, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but then he thought about it and did not continue to dwell on this point. He invited everyone to sit down.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Emperor Mingde finally spoke: "I invited you all here today because I have something to ask you."

Jun Yu, Ye Wushang, Xu Kaishan and Zhang Yihu, who were sitting below, all looked understood when they heard this.

If someone shows kindness to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. This is human nature.

Emperor Mingde invited them here, but if it was just for a meeting, why would he make such a big fuss? So from the beginning, they knew that Emperor Mingde might have other plans.

"The Minister of Rites, Xu Kaihou, died three miles outside the palace gate last night."

The words of Emperor Mingde echoed in the hall. Jun Yu picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, as if he didn't hear it. The wall-facing monk Zhang Yihu raised his eyelids slightly, and the Buddhist beads in his hand paused, but only for a moment, and then he recited the Heart Sutra again as if nothing had happened. Ye Wushang's fingers that were playing with his silver hair paused slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at Emperor Mingde on the high platform.

"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood something."

The wine glass in Xu Kaishan's hand shattered.

"Minister of Rites?"

"It's not necessary for us to be sneaky in killing him."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Ye Wushang looked at Jun Yu and Zhang Yihu. At this time, he and Xu Kaishan had already expressed their opinions.

"Amitabha, monks are compassionate. I haven't killed any living creatures for many years."

Zhang Yihu said this without blushing or beating his heart, which made Ye Wushang's mouth twitch. These old bald donkeys in the Buddhist sect were eloquent and spoke better than singing, but he dared to bet that if he faced him, the other party would definitely not allow himself to be beaten or scolded.

If you show signs of weakness, the other party will definitely not show mercy.

"Your Majesty, Xu Kaishan is right. For us, killing a Minister of Rites is not that troublesome. If we wanted to kill him, he would not be alive today."

After a moment's silence, Jun Yu's words came through.

"But for scholars like us, his death is not a pity!!"

Ye Wushang raised his eyebrows and his eyes became a little amused. Tianqi City was not small, but not big either. He also accidentally discovered what Xiao Se and his men did last night.

Jun Yu usually calls himself a scholar in the academy, and naturally he likes this identity very much. The court condones these people to do evil, which may have touched the bottom line of this gentleman.

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde's face darkened. He knew that Jun Yu was currently staying in Xiao Se's Xueluo Villa, so it was very likely that Jun Yu knew about what Xiao Se had been investigating recently.

The conversation should have stopped there, but Emperor Mingde also had his own plans. This time, he summoned these people who had reached the half-step state of enlightenment into the palace for only one purpose: Xu Kaihou's matter was dispensable.

Emperor Mingde already believed what these people said. If these people had the intention to kill Xu Kaihou, the Minister of Rites would have died long ago, and would not have waited until now to kill him.

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Xu Kaihou is an official appointed by the court. Whether he lives or dies is up to the court."

"I summoned you all here today, have you ever thought about why?"

"Since Shenyou entered the world, the number of casualties in Tianqi City has increased by dozens of times compared to the past. Some cases have been solved by the Dali Temple, while others have not." "For those cases that cannot be solved, who is behind them? I don't need to say more, right?"

Jun Yu and Zhang Yihu were indifferent when they heard this. For one thing, they were almost alone, and Xiao Se was not a crazy murderer, so these bloody deaths had little to do with them.

As for those who deserve to die, just kill them. Even if they see it, they will pretend not to see it.

Ye Wushang and Xu Kaishan couldn't help but smile coldly when they heard Emperor Mingde's words.

"This is the court's business, what does it have to do with us?"

"It's just one person's death! Just like the recent incident with the medicine man in Qianlan City, tens of thousands of people in the city were turned into medicine men by the ghost crows, and the court didn't do anything about it!"

The two men sang the same tune and blocked Emperor Mingde's words, and judging from their expressions, they did not take the emperor seriously.

On the high platform, Emperor Mingde's eyes flickered, and then he looked at Jun Yu and Zhang Yihu, but this time, neither Jun Yu nor Zhang Yihu spoke.

"If this is your attitude, then Apocalypse will not be able to accommodate Tianwaitian and Wushuang City."

There was a loud thunder outside the palace and heavy rain came suddenly.

Ye Wushang and Xu Kaishan were stunned when they heard this, and then a trace of laughter emerged in their hearts. In this Apocalypse City, they can come and go as they please. Do they need Emperor Mingde's consent? ?

"When the Demon Cult marched east, all the sects in the Central Plains suffered great losses. Some people lost their relatives and friends, and some lost their homes. I believe that as long as an imperial decree is issued, those people will be happy to bring the heads of Tianwaitian to me in exchange for a bounty."

Ye Wushang's face darkened, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Old Emperor, are you looking for death?"

Emperor Mingde chuckled, his eyes as sharp as torches, looking directly at Ye Wushang, his voice low but powerful.

"court death."

Then he looked over with a hint of sarcasm.

"You dare to kill me?"

"Back then, the guardians of the four realms swore an oath to the heavens to unconditionally help the imperial court once within a hundred years. If Mr. Ye wants to give it a try, I don't mind killing everyone in the outer world of you!!"

Upon hearing the name of the Four Realms Guardian, Ye Wushang's expression changed again.

Others may not know, but how could he not know?

"As for Wushuang City, it was not so tough when it knelt down and begged the imperial court to confer the title of 'The World's No. 1 City'. For a warrior to ascend to heaven, the price is so high that it must be paid with one's life. Mr. Xu's life span will not be long!"

Xu Kaishan narrowed his eyes, and a powerful fist force rose into the sky.

"So, Your Majesty, do you want to die?!"

Emperor Mingde looked at the man in front of him, his eyes twitching slightly. He had forgotten that a crazy warrior like Xu Kaishan didn't care about other things at all.

"Within three days, I want to see the murderer who killed Xu Kaihou!"
