Ji Tianxing spoke the truth.
But to the two imperial envoys and the general, they felt that his words were sarcastic and full of sarcasm.
The three of them didn't look too good. They muttered to themselves for a while and secretly communicated with each other.
The white-bearded old man sighed, "His Majesty is indeed wise. He guessed that this guy would chase after Grand Prince Lian and boldly barge into Yunwu Pass."
The middle-aged man frowned and said in a displeased tone, "This guy is very arrogant. He doesn't even respect His Majesty.
If it weren't for His Majesty's orders, I would've taken action and extinguished his arrogance! "
The white-bearded old man said with a bitter smile, "Don't be angry. If you really took action and taught him a lesson, you would've been defeated in a few moves.
Don't forget, this guy is very strong. Even a grand prince has been defeated by him.
Moreover, this guy is ruthless and bloodthirsty. He doesn't care about our identities. "
The middle-aged man's face darkened and he didn't say anything else.
The golden-armored general asked, "Imperial Envoys, what do we do now? Should we tell him the truth? "
The middle-aged man didn't make the decision on his own. He looked at the white-bearded old man and asked for his opinion.
The white-bearded old man thought for a while and nodded. He transmitted, "It's better to avoid trouble. The grudge between this guy and Grand Prince Lian has nothing to do with us. There's no need to hide it for Grand Prince Lian.
What's more, what he said wasn't wrong.
If he can find Grand Prince Lian and kill him, it'll be considered a meritorious service.
However, we can only keep these things in our hearts. We can't criticize him. "
The middle-aged man and the golden-armored general both nodded in agreement.
The white-bearded old man looked at Ji Tianxing and said, "Tianxing, I'm an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. I'm only here to carry out His Majesty's orders.
I've already passed on the message to you. As for Grand Prince Lian's whereabouts and direction, I have no obligation to tell you.
However, I see that you're in high spirits and dignified. You're not as ruthless and bloodthirsty as the rumors say.
Therefore, I'm not telling you as an imperial envoy. I'm telling you as an individual …
Grand Prince Lian isn't in Yunwu Pass. He hasn't even been here!
However, he entered the Empire's territory a day ago.
As for which direction he went, this old man has no idea. "
After saying this, the white-bearded old man quietly looked at Ji Tianxing without saying another word.
He had already said what he needed to say. Moreover, he had done Ji Tianxing a favor in his personal capacity.
If Ji Tianxing continued to pester him, it would be Ji Tianxing being unreasonable.
In fact, Ji Tianxing was well aware of this.
Not only did he know that the white-bearded old man had done him a favor, he also knew why the old man had done so.
As it turned out, Great Yan's Emperor's attitude toward him was complicated and contradictory.
They wanted to use him to get rid of Grand Prince Lian, but they were also afraid that he would cause trouble in the Great Yan Empire.
If he could kill Grand Prince Lian, not only would he have gotten rid of a thorn in the Great Yan Emperor's side, but the Great Yan Emperor would also not have to pay any price, let alone bear the infamy.
However, the Great Yan Emperor was also worried that if he went on a killing spree in the Great Yan Empire, he would incur the wrath of the people.
At that time, no matter how unwilling the Great Yan Emperor was, he would have to send troops to kill Ji Tianxing to restore the prestige of the nation.
He had to maintain his glorious image of loving the people like his own children to secure his position as Emperor. Otherwise, he would be impeached and criticized by the diehards.
However, the Great Yan Emperor knew that no matter how many elite troops he sent, they might not be able to kill Ji Tianxing. Instead, they would suffer heavy losses and sink deeper into the abyss.
Once Ji Tianxing and the Great Yan Empire had a blood feud, there would be no way to salvage the situation.
Even if the Great Yan Empire managed to kill Ji Tianxing in the end, they would suffer heavy losses.
All in all, the Great Yan Emperor's thoughts were complicated.
As an imperial envoy and a trusted aide of the Great Yan Emperor, the white-bearded old man naturally understood the Emperor's thoughts.
However, he could not say it out loud lest he hurt the Emperor's reputation and reputation.
Therefore, he very cleverly chose to tell Ji Tianxing in his personal capacity.
The twists and turns in this matter were not something an ordinary person could figure out.
Ji Tianxing raised an eyebrow. He cupped his fists at the white-bearded old man and said, "Thank you for telling me! In that case, I'll take my leave now. "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left Cloud Mist Pass through the gap in the Divine Formation.
Everyone stood where they were and watched Ji Tianxing's figure disappear into the night sky. They were silent for a while.
The golden-armored general waved his hand, signaling the 1,000 elite soldiers to retreat.
Only the white-bearded old man, the middle-aged man, and the golden-armored general were left. The three of them began to discuss.
The middle-aged man frowned in confusion and muttered, "That kid's way of doing things is indeed different from what the rumors say. He doesn't seem like a vicious and bloodthirsty executioner who will stop at nothing."
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and nodded. "Putting aside the grudge between him and Prince Lian, he's a peak-stage Divine Lord at such a young age. He can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime genius.
Such peerless geniuses are usually very proud. How can he be a villain who won't stop at nothing? "
The golden-armored general breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I originally thought that this person would be very difficult to deal with and that there would most likely be a fierce battle tonight.
I didn't expect that he would be sent away so easily.
Elder Yuan is really courageous to actually be able to intimidate him. "
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and laughed self-deprecatingly. "General Wang, don't make fun of this old man! How can this old man have the ability to intimidate the famous Killing God?
It's His Majesty's prestige that Killing God is afraid of and does not dare to offend.
Furthermore, Killing God is not a reckless person. Of course, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
He only has a grudge with Prince Lian. He has no grudge with us. Why should he make things difficult for us and become enemies with the Empire? "
The golden-armored general nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and asked again, "Elder Yuan, is that kid really willing to leave just like that?
Why did he believe your words without any doubt? "
The white-bearded old man chuckled and said, "Firstly, this old man has no need to lie to him. There is no need for me to cover for Prince Lian. He is well aware of it.
Secondly, do you think he didn't investigate?
When we were negotiating, he had already secretly released his divine sense and searched the floating city several times!
He didn't find any trace of Prince Lian nor did he detect the aura left behind by Prince Lian. Of course, he has to believe this old man. "
The golden-armored general was even more impressed and flattered the white-bearded old man a few more times.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and thought for a while before continuing to ask, "Then in Elder Yuan's opinion, where will that kid go after leaving Yunwu Pass?
Will he really be intimidated and not step into the Empire's territory? "
The white-bearded old man shook his head again and chuckled. "Of course not! He is arrogant and lawless. How can he be intimidated by a few words from us?
If he doesn't step into the Empire's territory, how will he hunt down Prince Lian?
This is something that His Majesty has long anticipated. "
