Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 265 Helpless Compromise

After the figures of Su Regret and the three disappeared into the sky, the entire Great Zhou Imperial City shook.

The citizens of the city do not have divine sense, so they can only catch what happened just now with their eyesight, and they need to rely on the practitioners in the city to tell the details of the incident.

But the ordinary practitioners, shielded by the palace formation, only saw Zhou Quanwu, the dignified prince Zhou Zhou, being knocked out of the air by the young man in white, and they had no idea what happened after that.

But it is obvious that the cultivators enshrined in the palace dare not fart, and let them rescue the prince of the enemy country.

"They are the people of the enemy country? Our majestic Zhou dynasty is second to none in Middle-earth, how can we endure such humiliation?!"

"What do the immortal masters in the palace do for food? Arrest them quickly!"

"..."

In recent times, the wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been successful one after another, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are very proud. This is the time when their mentality is the most proud. People from the enemy country can come and go freely in their own imperial city. They are quite willing to die for humiliating their kings and their ministers. Feel.

There was a lot of excitement outside the palace, and except for a little noise when the imperial guards rushed to Zhou Quanwu's bedroom, the palace fell into dead silence.

When the ministers waiting outside Shangyuan Hall learned that Zhou Quanwu was only injured and not dead, they all felt a little regretful and disappointed. They turned around and entered the hall silently, discussing what had just happened in a low voice.

……

In a pile of ruins, after driving away the Imperial Guards, Zhou Quanwu was alone leaning on the rocks to catch his breath and regulate his breathing. His face was full of sorrow, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

In his eyes, there was panic like a frightened bird.

Suddenly, two figures came to him at the same time.

It was Ning Qixiang, and the female practitioner whose aura Su Han thought was weird.

Zhou Quanwu's body was shaken, and he asked the two of them anxiously: "Did they really let them take Pei Wenshu away smoothly? He already knew about this war, and the real purpose was to massacre the mortals of the other two countries. ah!"

"So what if you don't hand it over? If you hand over a fresh corpse, they will know that you and I killed it temporarily, and you and I will have to be buried together." Ning Qixiang sneered and said angrily: "I am not strict with my words. I have to come and wipe your ass. This matter is not allowed to happen a second time, understand? Once it is revealed...you should know the consequences and disturbances!"

Zhou Quanwu nodded and frowned: "Then Pei Wenshu..."

"You shouldn't have to worry." Ning Qixiang looked at the woman next to him hesitantly.

The woman was also a little shocked, "I have planted the Heart-Destroying Pavilion's unique Forgettable Leaves in his soul to control his mind. Things happened in a hurry, and I only had time to cover his memories of the past two days with the leaves."

"He just found out about this today!" Zhou Quanwu said excitedly.

Ning Qixiang glared at the former, his teeth itching with anger.In fact, when Pei Wenshu woke up, he didn't know what to do. Later, he saw that there was no abnormality, and his memory was indeed successfully covered, so he was relieved.

Zhou Quanwu is still a little worried, "Will Wangyou Ye be discovered? Or, will he break through Ye Ye's restrictions on his own and recall the matter?"

"The place where the Wangyou Ye is planted is deep in the soul. With his current cultivation level, he can't find it. But if he doesn't die, he will be discovered sooner or later as his realm increases. And the nine realms are indeed uncertain. Factors..." The woman was a little worried, "It is better to kill Pei Wenshu earlier!"

Ning Qixiang's eyes sharpened, and a strong murderous intent flashed through his eyes.

"After Pei Wenshu leaves, he can only return to Pei State to continue to resist our attack. It is not difficult to know his whereabouts. It is impossible for the Nine Realm Great Cultivators to follow Pei Wenshu all the time. As soon as he leaves, we will immediately look for a move. ." Ning Qixiang muttered, "Also, issue an order to slow down the pace of the battle during this period, so that the victorious generals should not slaughter the city again after breaking the city, but keep it first until the Nine Realms are gone and Pei Wenshu dies. Then continue the slaughter.”

Zhou Quanwu and the woman from Juexin Pavilion nodded and left to do their own thing.

Ning Qixiang also went to Tianji Pavilion stationed in the palace, preparing to report the appearance of Su Han and the others to Qingji Sword Sect.

……

the other side.

Su Han and the others quickly left the boundaries of the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty and flew towards Pei State.

On the way, Pei Wenshu frowned and kept rubbing his forehead. He always felt that he had a severe headache today, but he didn't know why. It was indeed strange that he was unconscious for no reason.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of the dull pain.

After the headache subsided, he looked at Su Han's back in front of him. After a few glances, he exclaimed: "Brother Su, in just a few years, you have already reached the fifth realm... Not long ago, I stepped on When I entered the Fourth Realm, Master Zhong said that with my qualifications, it would take at least more than ten years to advance to the Fifth Realm. It seems that the gap between you and me will only get wider and wider."

Although Su Han said not to regard him as a comparison object, Pei Wenshu could not help but regard him as someone to chase, but he did not expect that the distance would get further and further.

Su Han said calmly: "Your progress is not slow in the world of cultivation, so there is no need to underestimate yourself."

He turned to look at Pei Wenshu and asked: "When you were in the palace just now, you mentioned that you had a bet with Zhou Quanwu? What was the bet about? And why did you want to assassinate Zhou Quanwu? This is not like your style."

Pei Wenshu was silent for a while, frowned and shook his head: "The sect's discipline is very strict, how could I blatantly violate it? This matter was not an assassination from the beginning."

"Huh? What happened some time ago?" Su Han and Xu Lele were both surprised.

"After leaving the sect, while defending the territory, I constantly summoned Zhou Quanwu and begged him to withdraw his troops, but the summons either came to nothing or was flatly rejected by him, which made me very helpless.

"Later he changed his gender for some unknown reason and said he could withdraw his troops, but he needed me to make a bet with him.

"His original quota for the Immortal Sect's grand gathering was implicated after... your incident, so it was taken away by the sect and fell on me. He wanted to take it back.

"Therefore, he wrote back to me and asked me to go to the Imperial City of Great Zhou to compete with him. If I beat him, he would be convinced and would withdraw his troops. If he won, he would ask me to give up my place in the Immortal Sect's grand meeting and let him Leave it to him.

"I didn't expect that this matter was a trap from beginning to end. Although I had some guesses, I had no other choice."

Su Han probably guessed what was going to happen next, "So, you went to the Imperial City of Great Zhou, lost a battle with him, and were imprisoned by him. Moreover, he claimed that you were here to assassinate him?"

Pei Wenshu sighed and nodded.

Xu Lele asked curiously: "In that case, why don't you explain this matter directly to your elders at Mingjing Peak?"

Pei Wenshu's eyes were lowered and his expression was gloomy. "When he imprisoned me in the sky prison, he said that if I told the story about the gambling and fighting, the army attacking Beiyue would go directly west and flatten Pei State with all its strength. The same thing happened to Beiyue at this time. If the vitality is severely damaged, they will not help the Pei State. The Pei State will be destroyed as quickly as possible.

"If I don't tell them, they will be more lenient with Pei Guowang, and at least the royal family can survive. Moreover, after I am expelled from the sect, I will have no use value, and he will release me.

"I... finally gave in.

"Even if I know that [-]% of what he said is not true, I can only compromise and bet on the [-]% possibility."

He said, sighing heavily, his tone full of helplessness.
