After saying this, Ji Tianxing glanced at the Celestial King coldly and contemptuously, then turned and left the hall.
His back was as tall and stubborn as ever, but there was also a sense of desolation and loneliness.
At this moment, the hall was deathly silent. Everyone was stunned.
Everyone knew that the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory was stubborn, upright, and upright. He was a man of virtue and prestige.
But no one had expected him to be so stubborn.
For the sake of his lifelong reputation, he did not know how to compromise or endure. He directly said what was on his mind, tore off the tacit understanding between the ruler and his subjects, and forced both sides into a desperate situation!
From the moment he said this, it was impossible for both sides to reconcile.
On the other hand, his expression that was filled with disappointment, bleakness, and desolation fully displayed how disheartened he was and how he'd disregarded life and death.
The most shocking thing was that … the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory had revealed the truth!
The so-called Imperial Guards were guarding the peaks and did not allow anyone to visit them. This led to the conflict between the Territorial Lords and the Imperial Guard Captain, and then to the confrontation in the hall, where the Celestial King stripped the Territorial Lords of their military power … All of this was a show directed and arranged by the Celestial King himself!
His purpose was to seize the military power of the Territorial Lords in a dignified way!
Understanding this, the five Territorial Lords were suddenly enlightened. They were instantly filled with respect and admiration for the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory.
They admired the wisdom of the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory. He had seen through the truth and had the courage to expose the despicable means of the Celestial King to his face.
This was something they could not do!
Therefore, the five Territorial Lords, who had come to their senses, were infected by the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory.
They looked at each other, then looked firmly at the Celestial King and said in unison, "We will advance and retreat together with the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory. We are willing to hand over our military power. We only hope that the Divine King will be lenient and not ruin the Lord of the Cool Breeze Territory's lifelong reputation. Return our innocence!"
After saying this, the five Territorial Lords took out their Tiger Soldier Seals, threw them in the hall, and turned to leave.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Realm Lord of Light Wind that they didn't show any attachment to power. They were especially proud and unyielding, and their postures were very free and easy.
After they left the hall, God King Fengyi, the Inspector of the Forbidden Army, and the God Generals looked at each other.
The Celestial King, who had finally come to his senses, was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot as he roared furiously.
"Bastard!! Damnable bastard, you actually dare to look down on me like this!
I directed and acted on my own, deliberately acting to seize their military power?
Detestable old thing, how dare you frame me like this?
Ahhhh!
Men, capture that old bastard Clear Wind Territorial Lord. I want to behead him in public!! "
Of course, Celestial King felt wronged and angry.
He didn't do anything, but in the end, he became a despicable person who directed and acted out his own plot to seize military power.
However, the Territorial Lord of Clear Wind had spoken so clearly and acted so fearlessly.
Anyone who knew what had happened would believe the Territorial Lord of Clear Wind's words and think that it was his plot.
Even God King Fengyi and the Inspector of the Forbidden Army felt a little guilty. They secretly thought that this might really be the Celestial King's plot.
After all, this was in line with Celestial King's usual style.
Hearing the Celestial King's roar, the Inspector of the Forbidden Army and the God Generals acknowledged the order and immediately went to capture the Territorial Lord of Clear Wind.
However, God King Fengyi was able to keep calm and quickly stopped them.
"Wait! Your Excellency, please don't be foolish. You can't capture or kill the Territorial Lord of Clear Wind!
Now that he has been wronged, he is disheartened. If you behead him in public, I'm afraid it will be exactly what he wants.
He could use his death to prove his innocence and preserve his reputation for the rest of his life.
As for you … you will be labeled as a muddlehead! "
Hearing God King Fengyi's reminder, the Celestial King calmed down.
When he thought of the possible consequences, he could only suppress his anger and withdraw the order.
However, his anger had not subsided. He asked unwillingly, "If I can't kill the Territorial Lord of Clear Wind, do I have to swallow my anger and bear the stigma?"
God King Fengyi also had a headache. He frowned and thought for a while. Then he said, "I can't think of a good solution at the moment. However, you must not be rash. This matter needs to be considered at length!"
The Celestial King remained silent. He could only gnash his teeth and clench his fists so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.
…
At the same time, Ji Tianxing was standing in the square outside Dutian God Palace.
Many Forbidden Army soldiers and more than 20 Territorial Lords were gathered around the square.
These Territorial Lords were acquainted with him or were on good terms with the five Territorial Lords. Everyone had a deep or shallow relationship with each other.
Previously, when they saw Ji Tianxing and the five Territorial Lords rushing to Dutian God Palace, they guessed that something big had happened. Therefore, they rushed over to check on the situation.
Everything that had happened in the meeting hall, including the Celestial King's verdict and Ji Tianxing's unyielding words, was heard clearly by everyone.
When Ji Tianxing walked to the square, more than 20 Territorial Lords came forward to welcome him. They all looked at him with complicated expressions.
Some bowed and greeted him, expressing their respect and admiration.
Some comforted him. Their expressions and emotions were also very disappointed and downcast.
There were also some Territorial Lords who admired his character. They also expressed their grief and indignation against a common enemy.
Immediately after, the five Territorial Lords also left the hall and came behind Ji Tianxing.
Many Territorial Lords had witnessed their audacity to throw the Tiger Tally in the hall and give the Celestial King a hard time.
Everyone was also full of admiration and admiration for the five of them. They hurriedly came forward to comfort and praise them.
After the previous conflict, many Territorial Lords had unknowingly stood on the same side and were dissatisfied with the Celestial King.
What happened today made these Territorial Lords completely disappointed in the Celestial King. They also hated and hated the arrogant and despotic Forbidden Army even more.
Ji Tianxing was very satisfied with the current outcome.
He looked at the many Territorial Lords with a bleak expression. He smiled bitterly and said, "My colleagues, I've made a fool of myself.
Perhaps I was a little impulsive and reckless today, but I would rather break than submit. I would rather die to prove my sincerity than suffer an unjust injustice and ruin my reputation.
If the Celestial King wanted military power, why did he have to go through so much trouble and devise such dirty schemes?
He only needed to say the word and I would have given him two thousand soldiers.
But if he wants to ruin my reputation, I would rather die than comply!
In addition, everyone should go back and make preparations. "
Hearing this, many Territorial Lords were stunned. Someone asked doubtfully, "Senior Qing Feng, what do we need to prepare?"
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "Today's matter is only the beginning. The Celestial King went through so much trouble just to take back military power. I believe you all saw it.
So, everyone should be tactful and obediently hand over military power. You can also be exempted from punishment and charges.
Don't let the Celestial King go through the trouble of taking everyone's military power one by one. It's not good for anyone. "
When he finished speaking, all the Territorial Lords were dumbfounded. They burst into a burst of exclamations. Everyone's expression became very ugly.
