âI just praised you for being a sensible person. Why are you so muddle-headed?â Zheng Yongtai shook his head. âEven if I donât kill you, wonât you still die when the Demon God Sect comes? When the time comes, Iâll ask the Demon God Sect for the people from Great Xiaâs Forging Division. They definitely wonât refuse.
âSince the outcome is the same, why are you so stubborn?â
âIf you have the ability, you can go and recruit Great Xiaâs forgers. If they are willing, I have nothing to say. But itâs impossible for me to use them to make a deal with you,â Emperor Yuan Feng said coldly. âThe people of Great Xia have never been bargaining chips!â
Emperor Yuan Feng shouted, âGuards! Send the guest out!â
âPlease!â Yin Changhao shouted. Even though he knew that the other party was an Earth Immortal above the first rank of the Martial Dao, he was still full of fighting spirit.
In the Imperial Court, the minister of war of Great Xia, Zhang Fuzhi, and the others also erupted with towering auras and locked onto Zheng Yongtai.
Even Emperor Yuan Fengâs hand was on the hilt of his sword.
âYou really want to do this the hard way!â The smile on Zheng Yongtaiâs face disappeared, and his face became a little cold. âI gave you a chance, but you didnât cherish it. In that case, donât blame me.â
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared.
âImpudent!â Yin Changhao and Eunuch Zhang slashed out at the same time, sealing off the space in front of Emperor Yuan Feng.
Bang! Bang!
Yin Changhao and Eunuch Zhang were sent flying at the same time.
Clank!
With another crisp sound, Emperor Yuan Fengâs sword, which he had just unsheathed, was actually cut off by Zheng Yongtai.
Zheng Yongtai appeared beside Emperor Yuan Feng. In his hand was a three-foot-long sword placed horizontally on Emperor Yuan Fengâs neck.
At this moment, Zhang Fuzhi and the others had just raised their hands. Compared to Zheng Yongtaiâs speed, their reactions were as slow as snails.
Swish! Swish!
A powerful figure appeared not far away at the same time. It was a first-rank martial artist from the Great Xia palace. He was also a step slower.
Zheng Yongtai held the sword in his right hand and placed it across Emperor Yuan Fengâs neck. He said with a relaxed expression, âWhat do you say now, Great Xia Emperor? Iâve already told you. Iâm at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.
âYou donât even know what Earth Immortal means.
âEven if all the first-rank martial artists in Great Xia join forces, I can defeat them all with one hand.
âNow that youâve seen it, no matter how many people you have protecting you, killing you will be as easy as taking something out of my pocket.â
âBrother, after I die, you will be the emperor of Great Xia.â Emperor Yuan Fengâs expression was calm. He ignored Zheng Yongtai and looked at Yin Changhao. âIf Great Xia is destroyed, you have to preserve your life and wait for the King of the South to return to restore the glory of Great Xia!â
Emperor Yuan Feng raised his head and closed his eyes, seemingly saying Zheng Yongtai could kill him if he wanted.
Zheng Yongtaiâs expression turned extremely ugly.
He didnât expect Emperor Yuan Feng to be so obstinate and hot-tempered. Didnât they say that Emperor Yuan Feng of Great Xia had a soft personality and was a good old man?
He had come for money. Killing Emperor Yuan Feng wouldnât do him much good.
At that time, if he provoked everyone in Great Xia, how would he be able to take over the Forging Division?
âGreat Xia Emperor, if you die, there will be nothing left,â Zheng Yongtai said. âI want the Forging Division, not to kill them. Those Grand Craftsmen, Forging Masters, and Forging Apprentices will have a bright future if they follow me. Itâs much better than staying in the small Great Xia.
âWhy are you so stubborn? Youâre the emperor of Great Xia. If you just say a word, wonât the entire Forging Division listen?
âGive me the Forging Division. Iâm not asking you to give up your territory. In the future, if Great Xia wants weapons, you can buy them with money.â
Zheng Yongtai persuaded earnestly.
Emperor Yuan Feng remained silent.
âMy patience is limited!â Zheng Yongtai was a little angry. âGreat Xia Emperor, do you think itâs okay just because youâre not afraid of death? Iâll kill you first, then kill him.
âAt that time, even if I want to become the emperor of Great Xia, who can stop me? At that time, if the imperial family of Great Xia dies, the entire Great Xia will fall into my hands, let alone a mere Forging Division.
âDonât you understand how it works?
âLet me tell you. Donât count on anyone to resolve the crisis of Great Xia. Other than me, no one else in the world can save Great Xia. Do you think you can count on the King of the South you mentioned? Dream on!
âThat so-called King of the South is simply a weakling in front of an Earth Immortal!â
âWho said the King of the South is weak?â
Before Zheng Yongtai could finish speaking, a clear voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall.
A young woman appeared at the entrance of the hall.
Her appearance was exquisite, like an immortal fairy from the nine heavens who had descended to the mortal world. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, making her look even more like an immortal.
In her arms was a little girl who was one or two years old. The little girl was as exquisite as a fairy.
The two of them stood there, and even the sunlight seemed brighter.
Behind them was a man with a bent back and a gaudy mask. He was completely ignored.
âYour Highness!â everyone said in surprise.
Emperor Yuan Feng opened his eyes and yelled, âThis has nothing to do with you. Stand down!â
Although he was very curious about who the little girl in his daughterâs arms was, at this moment, he only wanted Yin Wuyou to stay as far as possible.
Zheng Yongtai looked at Yin Wuyou, his eyes shining. âI didnât expect Great Xia to have such a graceful princess. Emperor Xia, do you still need a prince consort?â
Zheng Yongtaiâs lips curled up slightly.
âBastard!â Emperor Yuan Feng was furious. âIf you dare to touch my daughter, I will definitely not let you off!â
âWhy are you so impulsive? We might be family in the future.â Zheng Yongtai laughed out loud.
Yin Wuyouâs face was cold as she stared at Zheng Yongtai, her eyes filled with killing intent.
âMommyâ¦â Xiaoyuâer, who was in Yin Wuyouâs arms, suddenly spoke.
Her address made Emperor Yuan Fengâs eyes widen.
âThis personâs laughter is too unpleasant. Why is he laughing?â Xiaoyuâerâs crisp voice echoed in the hall.
A complicated look flashed across Emperor Yuan Fengâs eyes. Even in danger, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, one day in the outside world, one year on the battlefieldâ¦
Back then, Wuyou stayed on the battlefield for more than a year. Itâs more than enough for her to have a childâ¦
Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Xiaoyuâer. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. This little girl was as beautiful as Wuyou!
Hearing Xiaoyuâer call Yin Wuyou mother, not only did Zheng Yongtai not despise her, but his eyes revealed an even more raw gaze. âLittle girl, how about I be your father?â
Xiaoyuâer understood what he said. She looked up at Yin Wuyou and said crisply, âMommy, he wants to be my father. Daddy said that anyone who wants to be my parents is a bad person who kidnaps and sells children. Bad people should be beaten to death.â
Xiaoyuâer said innocently, âI want to beat him to death. Mommy. Can I do it?â
âCan you beat him?â Yin Wuyou knew that Xiaoyuâer was very powerful and could kill two first-rank martial artists with a single punch. But she didnât know how powerful the man who was holding her father hostage was. She was worried that Xiaoyuâer would be in danger, so she hugged Xiaoyuâer tightly and didnât let go.
âDonât worry, Mommy. Iâm very powerful.â Xiaoyuâer patted her chest. âThis baddieâs laughter is too unpleasant. Heâs definitely not powerful. I can kill him with one punch!â
When everyone heard Yin Wuyou and Xiaoyuâerâs serious conversation, they were speechless.
Was the princess crazy? How could such a little child hit someone? Her small fists couldnât even break a piece of tofu.
âAlright, be careful. If you canât win, come back quickly.â Yin Wuyouâs voice sounded in everyoneâs ears.
