Lv Lingyun was berating himself madly in his heart, "Lv Lingyun, oh Lv Lingyun, why are you showing off?
Only your cultivation base is high? Only you are capable?
Only you have the heart to protect Ziyou?
How are your countrymen treating you right now? "
His entire body was trembling, the thought of fighting Yun Yang with his life on the line!
However, he was a man who cherished his life. Otherwise, he would not have said that even an ant could live without purpose, and would not have generously offered the mystical bear core as a bargaining chip to save his life!
How could he have known that the bargaining chip that he had expected to save his life had become a hot potato that he could not advance or retreat with. It was wrong whether he gave it or not!
Just as Lv Lingyun's emotions were in a mess and he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing on the opposite side. Something strange had happened again!
The group was still in a state of shock, but what they could see now was the surging waves surging from afar once again. The waves in front of them had already piled up to thousands of feet high, and they were growing taller and taller, almost to the point where the top could not be seen.
If such a massive wave were to break through the seal, it would be unstoppable; no expert could stop it!
"I can tell you clearly that there is a limit to one's strength. My control of the Lunar River has reached its limit, and I might lose control at any time!" Yun Yang said coldly, "If I don't get the mystical core before I lose control, I won't be able to control the water even if you give it to me later."
"When the time comes, this heinous sin …" Yun Yang looked at Lv Lingyun coldly. "Both of us will bear it together. Since we're enemies on both sides, I don't mind having a few more Ziyou souls under my name!"
A Ziyou official's aged facial muscles twitched as he shouted, almost roaring, "Lv Lingyun! What are you waiting for? "
Lv Lingyun's body trembled again. She clenched her teeth and looked around. Her face was ashen. Suddenly, all her hopes turned to dust. Her whole body relaxed as if she had lost all her strength.
He took a slow step forward and raised his hand. In his palm was a mystical core.
Lv Lingyun seemed to have aged a few decades in an instant.
He walked forward step by step. Along the way, he did not raise his head at all.
Every step he took seemed to be a thousand catties heavy. Every step was extremely difficult!
The Emperor of Ziyou sighed in relief silently as he watched him walk out. However, the expression on his face was extremely complicated and humiliated.
As the monarch of a country, he was threatened right in front of the country's gates. He could only watch helplessly as his people walked out of the country in extreme humiliation, yet he could do nothing about it. Furthermore, he was one of the people who pushed for this extreme humiliation.
This feeling almost drove him crazy.
However, at the bottom of his heart, in a hidden place, there was a kind of joy flowing.
Aren't you cowards?
Weren't you guys unwilling to do anything?
Aren't you all selfish?
But … in the face of the threat of a nation's destruction, who could be spared?
I hope that from now on, all of you can understand one sentence: When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
From now on, they could work together to build Ziyou's Unbreakable Shield!
Yun Yang watched coldly as Lv Lingyun walked over step by step until he was right in front of him. He did not lift his head, only raising his hands to present the mystical core.
Yun Yang snorted coldly and extended his hand to retrieve the mystical core.
Then, he brushed past Lv Lingyun amidst the gushing water, as if he did not even have eyes for Lv Lingyun. He walked to the side of the little bear's carcass and wrapped the mystical core in a ball of life force before solemnly placing it back into the little bear's skull.
Looking at the huge body in front of him, Yun Yang's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Little bear.
I will avenge you.
I will kill Lv Lingyun to avenge you!
Once the vow was made, Yun Yang waved his hand and the little bear's huge body disappeared.
Soon after, he slowly stood up, turned around, and walked back.
He didn't say anything unnecessary.
When he had walked a hundred feet and returned to the front of the flood, Yun Yang's back was still facing Ziyou's emperor and officials, as well as Lv Lingyun who was still standing blankly like a statue. He spoke in a low but clear voice, "When two countries are at war, they are enemies. On the battlefield and in the imperial court, it is only right that one does not resort to any means."
"Even kidnapping the family of an important person to threaten is a despicable act, but it is also a means of coping under certain circumstances. This is still a personal choice. "
"However, all of this has nothing to do with me. I believe that no one in this world can forget the legend of the Nine Supremes."
"We, the Nine Supremes, may not be your opponents when it comes to scheming, but when it comes to kidnapping someone, I think no one is better than us at it. No one should object to this. "
"After today's battle, it has already been proven that the Empire of Ziyou has no bottom line. Since you, as our enemies, have no bottom line, then we don't have to abide by the so-called bottom line anymore."
"From now on, we shall rely on our own means and leave our fates to fate!"
"Today's debt, I will settle it with all of you. The reason why Ziyou has not been flooded today is because … I don't care to do things that involve the loss of life. "
"On the battlefield, however, there is no such thing as civilians."
"As a general or a soldier, there is no thought of returning to the battlefield after dying on the battlefield!"
"Lv Lingyun, start planning your escape now. Let's see if I can exterminate your entire family one by one! "
Supreme Cloud's tone had not been harsh, he had only spoken in an indifferent tone, as if he was talking to himself. However, when these words fell into the ears of the Empire of Ziyou's emperor and officials, they were like thunderbolts that pierced straight into their hearts, like a nightmare curse that could never be erased.
Everyone knew that Yutang's Lord Supreme Cloud was truly enraged this time!
The calmer he spoke, the more it showed that he had already made up his mind. There was no turning back!
In the next moment, Supreme Cloud's silhouette rose into the air, melding into the water that filled the sky without any hesitation. There was not even the slightest movement. The torrential tide receded abruptly, even faster than the ebbing tide of the ocean.
With a splash, the tide had already retreated thousands of feet away. After a few breaths, the boundless flood that could drown half of the Empire of Ziyou's territory had vanished without a trace – at least, it was no longer within sight.
If it were not for the continuous crashing of the waves from afar, everyone would have suspected that it was an illusion!
After a while, the torrential tide could no longer be heard, as if it was far away in the horizon.
The Emperor of Ziyou stared into the distance, silent and stunned for a moment.
Lv Lingyun stood there, exhausted, as if he had lost his soul.
Based on his identity, cultivation base, and accomplishment, he should not have felt this way. However, Yun Yang, the Emperor of Ziyou, and many others on Ziyou's side had exerted too much pressure on him. He had truly reached his limit!
If he had been a little more forceful, this person would have broken down on the spot. It would not have been a mental breakdown, but he would have exploded to his limit, a frenzied massacre that did not distinguish between friend and foe!
The Emperor of Ziyou's sigh drifted over, "Yutang's Supreme Cloud has come thousands of miles for his friends and family. Facing the entire Empire of Ziyou, he has fought with all his might for his friends and family. Now that he has returned and threatened with the torrential tide, he has done so for his comrades who have fought alongside him … Even when he threatened to annihilate the nation, he didn't do such an extreme thing in the end, causing the people to suffer and suffering. "
"Yutang's Supreme Cloud is a true hero! Even when he is filled with hatred and hatred, he still has the heart of a benevolent man, unwilling to harm the innocent. I believe that even if we didn't give him the mystical core in the end, he wouldn't really flood Ziyou and harm the people … "
The Emperor of Ziyou's voice drifted over desolately, "The gap between us and Yutang is too great. If we were to attack Yutang now, the consequences would be unimaginable. If Yutang's people were to be plunged into misery, would we still have the right to accuse Supreme Cloud of destroying Ziyou with the flood? "
He paused and continued, "Pass on my decree – the army is to retreat and return to Ziyou to recuperate. We shall fight Yutang again when our army is strong! "
"Your Majesty! You mustn't! "
Countless officials came forward to plead and stop him. They did not want the four empires to besiege Yutang to be broken just like that!
However, the Emperor of Ziyou had already made up his mind. "I've made up my mind. There's no need to say anything more!"
There was only a cold glint flickering in his eyes now.
It was not necessarily a bad thing to not send out the army!
How could the Empire of Ziyou not have internal strife now?
Many people in the royal family have conspired and colluded to usurp the throne and overthrow the current dynasty. This has been going on for a long time, but I have never hardened my heart to punish them. I've always thought of resisting the external forces first before pacifying the internal forces, causing the situation to deteriorate day by day. Furthermore, the military power outside has given them a considerable amount of control as well. Gradually, it has evolved into a terrifying balance that keeps each other in check.
In spite of this, the Empire of Ziyou is now in a state of devastation, swaying in the wind and rain. Even I, the emperor, can be ousted at any time. How can I talk about uniting the world?
I might as well use this excuse to withdraw the army and reclaim all the military power. I can use this opportunity to reorganize the country!
Resisting the external forces should wait until after pacifying the internal forces!
Supreme Cloud had already retreated, but his arrival and departure had left Ziyou with an endless amount of authority and a lingering charm.
On the way back to the city, everyone had a pensive look on their faces, and their hearts were heavy with worries.
Lan Wuxin followed His Majesty back, but he was in a trance along the way. Prime Minister Lan, who had always been meticulous and farsighted, did not know what he was thinking. There was only one feeling that made him feel strange.
Prime Minister Lan's hatred towards the culprit who had caused him so much harm did not seem to be as great as he had imagined.
For his family, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles to rescue them, disregarding life and death. Fighting Ziyou alone, he had no regrets.
For his comrade-in-arms, he had drowned Ziyou. Even if he had to die, he had to make sure his funeral was complete, no matter the cost.
Even though he had used and deceived Lan Wuxin throughout the process, it only served to show how brilliant the other party was. Just like what Supreme Cloud had said, if all of you could do something without a bottom line, who would I lie to if not you?
Moreover, a person who claimed to be wise had been deceived by another person. He really didn't have any confidence to say anything!
"Sigh!"
Lan Wuxin sighed at the sky, unable to help the indescribable loneliness in his heart. All his messy thoughts turned into a sigh.
…
In the dense forest.
The Moire Python's massive body had long been retracted, shrinking into an ordinary python that was only a few dozen feet long. It looked at the thing in front of it with surprise and delight.
It was a baby bear.
A tiny, newborn baby bear.
