Sikong Zun seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw. He hurriedly got down on his knees and said to Madam Jia, "Madam Jia, that Ling Xiao once humiliated Young Master Jia Yun in Ling Yue's courtyard. This person is extremely despicable. Because he envies Young Master Jia Yun's talent and status, he has been constantly trying to kill him.
On that day in the Northern Desert, if not for this one's timely rescue, Young Master Jia Yun would have already been killed by this brat.
I hope that Your Majesty will give me justice! "
So what if he's a rebel?
So what if he's a spy?
As long as Madam Jia is protecting him, what can anyone do to him?
Ling Xiao, oh, Ling Xiao, although you've worked so hard to create this situation today, the final victor can only be me.
"Be at ease. With me here, no one will be able to touch you today!"
For some reason, Madam Jia really did want to protect Sikong Zun, and she had even said such words in front of tens of millions of soldiers and soldiers.
Seeing Madam Jia's arrogant and despotic appearance, Ling Xiao suddenly turned to the Emperor Emperor, Fengming Wuliang, and said, "Your Majesty, this woman has no regard for the law and treats heroes like dirt, yet she wants to protect a rebel. Could it be that the Divine Phoenix Empire doesn't belong to Your Majesty, but to this woman?"
Ling Xiao once more threw this difficult problem to the Emperor to deal with.
Fengming Wuliang sighed and said, "Ling Xiao, you don't know, but the highest authority in the Divine Phoenix Empire is not We, but the Righteous Alliance. Madam Jia is a member of the Righteous Alliance, so she naturally represents the will of the Righteous Alliance. Not even We can influence her."
"Is the Righteous Alliance not bound by the law?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"When a sovereign commits a crime, he is as guilty as a commoner, and the Righteous Alliance is naturally no exception. This was a rule that was established when the Righteous Alliance was first established, but …"
Fengming Wuliang helplessly sighed.
This old scoundrel was extremely crafty. Although he wanted nothing more than for the Righteous Alliance to fall, he would never provoke it.
With these words, he was clearly telling Ling Xiao and the tens of millions of soldiers that if they wanted to bring Sikong Zun to justice, they should not fight with him, but go to the Righteous Alliance.
Of course, although he was smart to do this and stay out of the matter, his way of doing things made the hearts of countless soldiers and civilians turn cold.
An emperor actually did not take the initiative to stand up for his country's heroes when they were being bullied and framed.
What qualifications did he have to continue holding the position of Emperor?
"Madam Jia, although you are a member of the Righteous Alliance, you cannot disregard the law. Today, Sikong Zun must be killed, but Ling Xiao cannot die!"
The one who stood out to speak was Feng Yinshan.
He was also a smart person, but he was even more daring.
Perhaps he knew that it would be very difficult for him to compete with Phoenix Cry Qishan, who had outstanding military exploits, not to mention that Phoenix Cry Qishan had the support of the powerful Ice Phoenix Clan.
In addition, it was the Ice Phoenix Clan that currently held power.
If he wanted to defeat Phoenix Cry Qishan and Phoenix Cry Immeasurable, his only way was to find another path and win the support of the people.
And this time was his chance.
It was true that becoming an enemy of the Righteous Alliance was extremely dangerous and that he could be killed at any time, but after so many years, he had watched as the Righteous Alliance slowly deteriorated. Although the current Righteous Alliance was still not weak, it was far from its former self.
If he really had to fight, he really did not need to fear the Righteous Alliance.
This was a massive gamble.
If he lost, he might die. At the very least, he would be stripped of his position as Crown Prince.
If he won, not only would he have the absolute advantage in the election, he would also be able to win over many people.
Those without courage would not dare to make such a gamble.
But Feng Yinshan had no path of retreat. He had to do this, and he could only do this.
"Feng Yinshan, it seems to me that you don't want your position as Crown Prince anymore!"
Madam Jia coldly said to Feng Yinshan.
"If I can uphold justice, root out traitors, and clear the name of a hero, what is there to cherish about the position of Crown Prince? Moreover, whether or not I am the Crown Prince is not up to you, Madam Jia, to decide. You can only represent your Jia Clan. The Righteous Alliance is controlled by the three great clans. "
Feng Yinshan sharply countered.
"Haha, then let's wait and see."
Madam Jia disdainfully sneered, and then she turned to Phoenix Cry Immeasurable and said, "I want to kill Ling Xiao and take away Sikong Zun. Do you have any objections?"
"I don't think that's a good idea, Madam Jia. You can take Sikong Zun away, but Ling Xiao is Divine Phoenix Empire's hero. He protected the borders, if we let you kill him just like that, what qualifications do we have to be the Monarch?"
Phoenix Cry Immeasurable frowned. He had not expected that he would have to make a choice in the end.
"If I want to kill him, can you stop me?"
Madam Jia ignored Phoenix Cry Immeasurable and turned to Ling Xiao. "Brat, hand over your life. I will definitely place your head on the graves of my husband and son!"
After saying this, she actually began to attack.
Roooar!
Suddenly, a roar shook the heavens.
Countless soldiers had appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
Feng Yinshan, Feng Qingyan, Feng Yanran, the Northern Desert Army, the scorpion men, and even the garrison of the Imperial City.
The dense crowd completely blocked Madam Jia's path.
She could not advance even half a step.
"You! Are you trying to rebel? "
Madam Jia was so angry that her entire body trembled.
"Does the Righteous Alliance want to incur the wrath of the masses?"
Feng Yinshan coldly asked.
At this moment, more and more people were hurrying over.
They had come here with only one goal in mind: to protect the hero of this country, to protect the bottom line of this country.
If a country could not even protect its own hero, who would be willing to shed their blood for this country?
"Damn it! Since you want to be buried with him, then I'll kill all of you!"
Madam Jia was completely enraged. She was a disciple of the Everlasting Joy Immortal Island, a lofty existence. Yet these ants of the Divine Phoenix Empire dared to openly challenge her.
How could she tolerate this?!
Terrifying energy began to gather.
Madam Jia was about to go crazy!
Although her cultivation was only at the Grotto Heaven realm, she did not believe that anyone would dare to stop her if she really attacked.
Clap!
Suddenly, a crisp slap to the face shocked everyone.
This slap had come from Ji Ning.
After such a long stalemate, Ji Ning's shackles had long ago been broken.
"You dare hit me?"
Madam Jia was stunned.
"Madam Jia, you seem to have forgotten that I, Ji Ning, am also a member of the Righteous Alliance, and an elder of the Righteous Alliance. Your husband and son committed heinous crimes, and not even death can wipe out their crimes! What are you trying to do today? Do you want the Righteous Alliance to become the public enemy? What is that old man doing? What is he doing as the alliance lord? "
Many people seemed to have forgotten that Ji Ning was not only a Yin-Yang realm martial artist, but also an elder of the Righteous Alliance.
But Ji Ning's slap and his words had suddenly made them all remember.
"Hahaha, elder, there's no need to be angry. This old man failed to discipline her properly. I will bring her back."
An elderly voice came from the crowd.
