Chapter 175 Am I Cocky?
In the hall, it was utterly silent, and the air was like dead.
Died!
The king of Chu Country died just like this!
Some ill-willed ministers could not stand and fell to the ground. The rest of the people were trembling, and only a few could still remain calm.
Behind Ye Xuan, the old man’s face was gloomy to the extreme!
He was the only person in the field who had the ability to kill Ye Xuan, but he did not dare to do it!
First of all: If he attacked, he was likely to die first. Li Mu was the best example. He was a Method-controlling Realm expert. Secondly, if he attacked, Ye Xuan might vent the anger on the people of Chu Country. At that time, the people of Chu Country would suffer.
He could not do it!
The old man slowly closed his eyes. Finally, he sighed. Now, Chu Country was already a piece of meat in front of Jiang Country. Jiang Country could do anything at will!
Ye Xuan looked at the ministers of Chu Country and said, “Who can represent you?”
No one dared to step forth!
Ye Xuan shrugged. “Then I’ll kill you all!”
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the ministers of Chu Country in the field were frightened. At this time, a hunchback old man walked forth.
The old man walked to the front of Ye Xuan. He looked directly at Ye Xuan, and there was no fear in his eyes. “I’m Li Shi, Chu Country’s imperial tutor of the crown prince.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I have a few conditions. You listen carefully. After I finish, if you don’t agree, I will look for another person to talk to me.”
He then put Lingxiu Sword on the table. “First, I will take away all items in Chu Country’s treasury. Second, Chu Country will pay 500 million gold coins to Jiang Country every year. Third, there is a city in Chu Country which seems to be called Bei City. Well, this city is close to Jiang Country, and it belongs to Jiang Country in the future. Do you have any questions about these three conditions?”
As Ye Xuan’s voice fell, the faces of those ministers turned extremely bad.
Taking away all the treasures in Chu Country’s treasury?
This would instantly make Chu Country a poor country!
In addition, Chu Country also needed to pay 500 million gold coins every year. This was keeping Chu Country as a sheep!
The most important thing was Bei City, which was the second large city in Chu Country. It was only second to the imperial capital of Chu Country. This city had a natural geographical advantage. It could resist Jiang Country and Ning Country from the south. If they had to retreat, there’s a natural barrier in the north. Because both sides of the city were big rivers!
If Jiang Country occupied the city, it’s holding the throat of Chu Country!
Li Shi was so angry that his body was shaking. He stared at Ye Xuan. “You can just destroy Chu Country!”
Ye Xuan suddenly got up and kicked the king’s head to Li Shi. He leaned over and smiled. “Destroy Chu Country? Do you think I don’t want to? Do you think I can’t do it? I don’t want to destroy Chu Country because I won’t let Jiang Country lose more soldiers.”
While speaking, he walked to Li Shi. “Also, please remember that you started the war, not us!”
Li Shi clenched his hands tightly. “Don’t you feel it’s too cruel?”
Ye Xuan’s mouth curved with sarcasm. “Cruel? If Chu Country attacked in Jiang Country, would you say ‘cruel’ to me? No, you won’t. If Chu Country broke through Kaiyang City, countless people would die miserably.”
He then turned and walked to the dragon chair. “I am not an easy person, especially for you Chu Country. I don’t want to talk nonsense. Just tell me yes or no.”
As his voice fell, the Lingxiu Sword on the table in front of Ye Xuan suddenly shook slightly.
The place became quiet again.
Threatening!
Ye Xuan was threatening directly without hiding.
Li Shi was so angry that his body was shaking.
Agree?
If he agreed, Chu Country would be seriously weakened and become a small country. If he did not agree, the murderous fiend would definitely kill people in the hall.
Ye Xuan definitely dared to kill because he had the strength to do so. No one doubted this!
“Chu Country agrees!”
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
The crowd turned and looked over. A woman was standing at the entrance of the hall. The woman was in her twenties and wore a gorgeous palace dress with paintings of flowers on it.
Upon seeing the woman, the ministers of Chu Country saluted one after another.
The First Princess of Chu Country: Chu Chaohan.
Under the eyes of everyone, Chu Chaohan walked slowly to Ye Xuan and looked directly at Ye Xuan. “Chu Country agrees with all three conditions.”
Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Take me to Chu Country’s treasury!”
Chu Chaohan turned and left.
Chu Chaohan then led Ye Xuan to the country’s treasury. Ye Xuan did not even look at it. He just collected all items into his Prison World Tower.
From the beginning to the end, Chu Chaohan did not say a word.
Ye Xuan left the treasury, and Chu Chaohan slowly followed.
At the door, Ye Xuan looked downward. Down below, there were ten thousand Chu Country’s soldiers. In the eyes of these soldiers, there were scruples, fear, anger, and also grievance.
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled. “I am not afraid of your revenge. I am not afraid at all.”
After that, he walked slowly toward the distance.
In the beginning, two soldiers did not make the way. But in the next moment, their heads flew away directly.
In an instant, the soldiers in the field were about to attack. Chu Chaohan, who was not far away, suddenly thundered, “Retreat!”
The soldiers looked at Chu Chaohan, and Chu Chaohan looked coldly at the soldiers. “All of you, retreat. Whoever disobeys, his family will be slaughtered!”
The soldiers unwillingly stepped back and made way.
Ye Xuan walked toward the distance. Suddenly, he stopped as a sword suddenly arrived at Chu Chaohan’s glabella.
There was no expression on her face, and her eyes were very calm.
The soldiers around were pissed off and ready to attack.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “I don’t want a war for Jiang Country. You are a smart woman. You should know what to do to make Chu Country live longer.”
Chu Chaohan stared at Ye Xuan. “Rest assured, before you die, Chu Country’s soldiers will not step into Jiang Country again!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Frank enough. Remember your words. When I am alive, if Chu Country has unusual moves, things will not be as simple as today!”
After that, he walked quickly toward the distance.
On both sides, none of the soldiers dared to move!
In front of the treasury, Chu Chaohan slowly closed her eyes.
At this time, the All-methods Realm old man appeared beside her.
Chu Chaohan said lightly, “Cangmu College and Dayun Empire still have not replied?”
The old man shook his head.
Chu Chaohan’s face instantly turned cold. “Good for you, Cangmu College and Dayun Empire!”
When Chu Country was defeated, Chu Country had already sought reinforcement from Cangmu College and Dayun Empire. Because Chu Country knew that Jiang Country would certainly not give up.
However, there was no response from Cangmu College and Dayun Empire.
The old man sighed. “Before, I disagreed on waging war against Jiang Country. Cangmu College and Dayun Empire would not regard Chu Country as an ally. They are just using us. Unfortunately, the king did not listen. Alas!”
Chu Chaohan smiled coldly. “Reassured, they will suffer the same someday in the future.”
She then looked at the direction where Ye Xuan left. “This person seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. He will not let go of Cangmu College and Dayun Empire.”
The old man nodded. “Back then, Cangmu College in Jiang Country drove the person away. It was really stupid to the extreme!”
Chu Chaohan slowly closed her eyes. “It’s Jiang Country’s fortune to have him!”
...
After Ye Xuan left Chu Country, he did not return to Jiang Country but went to Yue Country!
He alone could not destroy Chu Country and Yue Country. Even if Jiang Country attacked with all strength, it would be difficult to destroy the two countries in a short period of time. Moreover, even if the two countries were destroyed, Jiang Country would be seriously weakened. Moreover, Cangmu College and Dayun Empire were still there.
Therefore, sending troops now was not good for Jiang Country. However, it’s obviously not possible to let go of Chu Country and Yue Country!
So, he and Lu Jiuge thought the same.
Weaken the two countries so that the two countries could not recruit soldiers in at least 10 years! He came to rob for this purpose. After he ransacked them, they would be greatly weakened, while Jiang Country could take this opportunity to develop vigorously! When they were becoming weak, Jiang Country would get stronger and stronger!
In addition, Canglan College also needed to develop.
And the development cost money! In particular, he now wanted to build a team of Dao Soldiers. It’s hard to imagine how big a number was needed to build such a team!
Yue Country!
One day later, Ye Xuan came to Yue Country.
Like Chu Country, after knowing that Cangmu College and Dayun Empire were defeated, Yue Country’s people also panicked. Obviously, they feared that Jiang Country would come to retaliate.
Yue Country’s imperial palace.
At this moment, Yue Country’s imperial palace was already heavily guarded. There was one soldier every ten steps.
Because Yue Country had already known what happened in Chu Country.
In the hall, the king of Yue Country sat on the dragon chair. Down below in front of him stood dozens of ministers of Yue Country.
The hall was very quiet, and the atmosphere was heavy.
Yue Country’s king looked at everyone in the field. “Nobody wants to say something?”
A Yue Country’s minister stepped forth and said, “I’m willing to die together with Yue Country!”
In the field, countless ministers saluted together and said, “We are willing to die with Yue Country!”
Die together!
The king smiled slightly. “Fortunately, at least my ministers are more determined than Chu Country’s ministers. Rest assured, I will hold the sky first if it falls!”
At this time, a guardian suddenly rushed into the hall and said, “Report. Ye, Ye Xuan is here. He, he has killed more than 100 people...”
Ye Xuan!
Upon hearing this, the faces of the ministers suddenly changed.
The king of Yue Country said lightly, “Send my order. Don’t resist and let him in!”
The guard hesitated.
The king smiled and said, “Just do it!”
The guard hesitated for a moment and then turned and left.
After a while, Ye Xuan stepped into the hall. Blood was still dripping from the sword in his hand.
In the field, everyone was watching Ye Xuan!
The youngest Sword Lord in Qing Continent!
The king of Yue Country sized up Ye Xuan and smiled. “No wonder you are the youngest Sword Lord in Qing Continent. You indeed look like a swod cultivator!”
Ye Xuan stopped walking. At this moment, a man suddenly appeared outside the hall. The man was also about twenty years old. He wore a white robe and looked about 60% similar to Yue Country’s king.
Behind the man, there was a young man dressed in a green shirt. He held a jade pendant in his hand.
The white-robed man walked to the front of Yue Country’s king and deeply saluted. “Father!”
The king frowned and thundered, “What are you doing back here? Who told you!?”
The man shook his head. “How can I not return if our country is in trouble?”
He then turned to look at the green-shirted man not far away. The green-shirted man looked at Ye Xuan and asked, “You are from the Canglan College in Qing Continent?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The green-shirted man took out a token. “Do you recognize this token?”
Canglan Order!
Ye Xuan frowned.
The man in the green shirt walked to Ye Xuan and looked arrogant. “I am the First Disciple of the Outer Gate of Canglan College in Central Divine Continent. Now, I am ordering you to leave Yue Country immediately. You...”
His voice stopped abruptly.
Because a sword arrived at his glabella.
Everyone in the field was shocked.
Ye Xuan shook his head. “First Disciple? I am the dean! Am I cocky?”
