Had the mystical core gone missing?
The Emperor of Ziyou had not thought of this.
The mystical core of a ninth level mystical beast was an extremely rare treasure to most of the practitioners in this world.
There was no doubt about it and it could not be questioned.
However, the Emperor of Ziyou would never have thought that there would be someone who would be bold enough to hide the mystical core in the face of the threat of the nation's demise.
This fact made him feel as if his face was burning hot!
At this moment, the rage in his heart was no less than Yun Yang's.
In fact, it was even more intense.
Could it be that the survival of a nation and the lives of hundreds of millions of people were not as important as a mystical core in some people's eyes?
What kind of a heart was this?
"Where is the mystical core?" The Emperor of Ziyou turned around, his cold gaze sweeping across a certain person. Then, his chilling gaze locked onto the person.
Yun Yang followed his gaze and saw that the person was dressed in green, wielding a long sword. His face was simple and unsophisticated – it was the swordsman who had chased after him with his sword in the air!
It was also because of this swordsman's ambush that Yun Yang was stopped at the last moment of his attempt to break out of the siege. Whitey Three was first gravely injured, then Yun Yang was wounded, causing the situation to take a turn for the worse. Otherwise, the little bear would not have perished in this battle!
This swordsman was undoubtedly very powerful.
However, facing Supreme Cloud now, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Yun Yang glared at this person coldly, feeling the murderous intent within him difficult to suppress.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." The swordsman was courteous in the face of the Emperor of Ziyou's inquiry, bowing with his sword cupped.
"Did you take the Niello Bear's mystical core?" The Emperor of Ziyou went straight to the point.
The swordsman's expression changed slightly, but he still answered calmly, "That's right. According to the martial world's rules, such a treasure belongs to whoever killed the mystical core's original owner. There's nothing wrong with that, it has always been so."
The Emperor of Ziyou sucked in a deep breath and said, "Now that the Empire of Ziyou is on the brink of life and death, what the other party wants is this mystical core!"
The Emperor of Ziyou's eyes were burning with uncontrollable rage as well.
At a time like this, when the land was about to turn into a swamp, you're talking to me about martial world rules?
What kind of rules were these?!
The swordsman replied readily, "As long as Lord Supreme Cloud has no other requests, this lowly one is more than happy to hand over the mystical core with both hands to end this calamity."
The Emperor of Ziyou frowned slightly and repeated instinctively, "Other requests?"
The swordsman's voice deepened as he said, "After all, I was the one who killed the Niello Bear … Supreme Cloud will certainly seek revenge. Even ants seek to live …"
Suddenly, the Emperor of Ziyou understood it all.
This fellow was obviously afraid. He was afraid that Supreme Cloud would ask for the Xuan Core along with the murderer. If that really happened, he would definitely die.
The Emperor of Ziyou was both annoyed and amused by this little trick.
Can a dignified Saint of the Sword not be so careful?
This was a matter of life and death for the entire Empire of Ziyou. How could it be worsened by your personal choice?
Yun Yang looked at the swordsman coldly and said faintly, "Say no more. Tell me your name! Today, I can promise not to take your life! The little bear is a mystical beast, but since it accompanied me to kill in Zilong City, it's my comrade! It's understandable for a warrior to die on the battlefield, but I want its funeral to be perfect, without a single flaw. "
"As for this grudge, we'll settle it in the future!"
Yun Yang's voice was cold.
At this moment, Yun Yang wanted to kill this person before him even in his dreams!
Besides, Yun Yang was confident that as long as he persisted and threatened the Empire of Ziyou, making his stand clear that he would only relent after this person's life was the price, the Emperor of Ziyou would have no choice but to accept it.
No matter how reluctant he was, he would still give the order to kill in exchange for Ziyou's safety!
However, Yun Yang thought that doing so, the result of this revenge, was another insult to the little bear's sacrifice – a great insult!
I want revenge.
I want to kill you with my own hands!
This was the real revenge for the little bear!
Although he could also achieve the goal of revenge by borrowing others' hands and threats, Yun Yang did not want to do so!
On top of that, Yun Yang could understand the swordsman's standpoint and choice. As a citizen of Ziyou, it was understandable for the swordsman to fight for his motherland's vengeance against his country. Now that he had established a great enmity and was being targeted by the enemy, not only was it a wise saying, it was also his heartfelt sentiment. It was just that his standpoint was different and nothing else, but to use his motherland as a threat to force him to sacrifice his life was truly despicable!
Therefore, Yun Yang would rather seek revenge in the future than insist on killing this person!
The swordsman lifted his head and looked at Yun Yang with a complicated gaze. He said softly, "This reputed one is known as Emerald Cloud Sword Saint. I will never change my name or my surname. I am Lv Lingyun!"
"Lv Lingyun!"
The corners of Yun Yang's lips curled into a profound smile as he said faintly, "What a Emerald Cloud Sword Saint. I'll remember you!"
The few short words caused Lv Lingyun's pupils to constrict. Even his heart skipped a beat nervously as a chill ran down his spine.
He had intended to say a few more tough words to keep up appearances, but when he met the other party's cold gaze, he could not utter a single word.
He had a sudden realization that what he was about to face was the Nine Supremes' vengeance!
Supreme Cloud, who had been in an incomplete state and unable to use his manifestation, had already turned Zilong City upside down. If the Great Spiritual Restraining Formation was removed, it would be a piece of cake for him to exact his revenge with a myriad of tricks up his sleeves!
Even now, even if the Spiritual Restraining Formation was still there, could it fight against the Lunar River's water?
"Hand over the mystical core!" Yun Yang ordered coldly.
Lv Lingyun sucked in a deep breath and said, "Lord Supreme Cloud, the battle on the battlefield is up to fate! Both parties are hostile to each other and have different standpoints. No matter how you fight, it's only right. If Lord Supreme Cloud wishes to take back your subordinate's item, you need to be more courteous in your words! "
Yun Yang smiled mockingly. "You've said it yourself. We're hostile to each other and have different standpoints. Why should I be courteous to you? I repeat, hand over the mystical core! Otherwise, the Empire of Ziyou shall become history today! "
Chen Xi's extremely forceful tone caused the Sword Saint's face to flush red, and his eyes revealed extreme humiliation!
"Hand it over to me personally right now!" Yun Yang scoffed coldly, his gaze gleaming with the cold glint before a massacre.
His voice grew even colder.
Everyone realized that Supreme Cloud was humiliating Lv Lingyun on purpose.
Most importantly, the other party's attitude showed that he did not care whether Yun Yang would hand over the mystical core or not. This was just an excuse! Are you not going to hand over the mystical core? That's great!
I shall drown Ziyou today and the Empire of Ziyou shall cease to exist in this world!
Let's see if you, Lv Lingyun, will choose to submit in humiliation or refuse forcefully!
Will you submit in humiliation to your duty as a human being, or will you become Ziyou's sinner?
The sense of danger, the coercion from a higher position, and the blatant bullying – everyone could feel it clearly.
Lv Lingyun was trembling, his heart about to explode.
How could he tolerate such extreme humiliation?
Even if he was not a cultivator or a pinnacle expert, he was only an ordinary person. In the face of such humiliation, the only thing he could do was to fight with his life on the line!
However, Lv Lingyun could clearly feel the gazes on him from the people around him, like sharp arrows! Every gaze was urging him to hand over the Niello Bear's core quickly and avert the current crisis!
If it were not for the fact that his cultivation base was lacking, someone would have already made a move to snatch it away!
Lv Lingyun's heart was filled with indescribable regret. Why did he have to participate in this battle to annihilate Supreme Cloud?
If he had been a coward like the others, there would be nothing left for him to do now.
Alternatively, he could have made a move earlier or taken down Supreme Cloud. Even if he did not win, dying in Supreme Cloud's hands would have been a clean slate!
Not only would he have to endure this humiliation, he would also have to provoke a powerful enemy that he could not rival!
From now on, he would have to live in fear and trepidation every single day and night!
Lv Lingyun's intestines were swollen with regret.
