"It's not a small number! It's not a small number at all! " Princess Ruchen had already wiped away her tears. Her eyes were like luminous pearls, shining with a dazzling light of surprise. "A hundred and thirty people, and all of them are Peak Overlords. Although their numbers are slightly less than Eldest Brother's, their quality is definitely superior."
There were quite a few Glazed Crystal Overlords in the opponent's camp.
Overall, the two were equally matched.
Emperor Wuhen was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
The heavens had taken pity on him, to receive such powerful support!
Compared to the initial twenty weak people, the number had increased by seven to eight times, and they were almost on par with the Eldest Prince!
He looked at the Emperor of One-Qi gratefully and said incoherently, "It's enough, it's completely enough. Emperor of One-Qi, I, Wuhen, will remember this great favor."
However, the Emperor of One-Qi did not care about the two of them at all, not even bothering to acknowledge them.
He blushed, embarrassed by Su Yu's words. He cupped his fists and apologized, "I really wasn't prepared. It was Princess Ruchen who would be assisting me. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Su Yu frowned. "How could it be as easy as you make it sound? I thought the Emperor was a calm person, so I didn't warn you. I didn't expect you to be so careless and not give it your all. "
Princess Ruchen and Emperor Wuhen were so worried that they wanted to cover Su Yu's mouth immediately.
That's enough, don't say anymore. They couldn't ask for such a powerful support from the Emperor of One-Qi!
What if the other party got angry and left in a fit of anger by criticizing and grumbling in front of everyone?
Unexpectedly, the Emperor of One-Qi, who had been indifferent to them, seemed to have a completely different attitude towards Su Yu. He bowed again and said apologetically, "Your Highness, you have wronged me. I also realized that there were not enough people, so I specially took out the Purple Demon Armor from the storage and equipped everyone!"
Princess Ruchen was shocked again. Staring at the purple-black armor on them, she said in shock, "Is that the rumored number one divine armor of the Empire of Dayu, the Purple Demon Armor? I heard that after wearing it, it can greatly increase the wearer's speed of absorbing divine energy and physical strength. It can increase one's cultivation by more than half! The market price of this armor is twenty thousand divine stones, and it has never been sold before. "
Emperor Wu Hen was shocked as well. Then, he was overjoyed.
She had heard of the famous Purple Demon Armor before. It was a supreme-grade armor forged by the One Qi Weapon Alliance to arm its own members.
When a Peak Overlord wore it, their battle prowess would be on par with a Half Step Martial Emperor.
Ten Purple Demon Armored Warriors working together could easily kill a half-step monarch.
Even if they encountered an Emperor, a team of more than 50 people would be able to kill it!
As for the one hundred and thirty Purple Demon Armored Warriors, they were like a mudslide. Anyone who stood in their way would die, and even monarchs would flee at the mere sight of them.
Upon hearing Princess Ruchen's introduction, Su Yu was slightly surprised. "Oh? Is the Purple Demon Armor that powerful? "
The Sovereign of Qi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically. "This old man's life and future are on the line here. How could I dare to hold back?"
Su Yu's brows relaxed, and he nodded. "I will trust you for now, but if anything goes wrong, you know the consequences."
The subsequent Golden Flames Forbidden Wood would all be ruined.
"Don't worry, they have all received my instructions and will definitely do their best!" The Sovereign of Qi cupped his fists once again. "I will go back and wait for the good news, Your Highness. When the time comes, let's drink to our hearts' content."
Su Yu nodded slightly, and watched as the Sovereign of Qi teleported away.
Princess Ruchen's eyes were sparkling, and her face was full of joy. She could not stop smiling.
It was only when the Sovereign of Qi had left that she suddenly threw herself into Su Yu's arms. She held his face and kissed him to her heart's content.
Her small face was overflowing with sincere gratitude and excitement from the bottom of her heart.
When she realized that something was amiss, she hurriedly retracted her body, and her snow-white face abruptly blushed.
Outsiders might not think much of it, but she knew very well that they were not real siblings.
Emperor Wuhen was also full of joy, and his half-smiling eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.
She was filled with boundless gratitude toward Su Yu.
Without him, there would be no hope of today.
How arrogant was the Sovereign of Qi? From the beginning to the end, he had not spoken a single word to her or Princess Ruchen, and he had not even looked them in the eye.
He had only done so because of Su Yu.
Even though she was very curious about how Su Yu had convinced the Sovereign of Qi, she feigned ignorance out of respect and gratitude.
"Your Highness, there is something that I do not know if it is appropriate to ask." Staring at Su Yu, Emperor Wuhen's heart was filled with complicated emotions.
Su Yu looked over and said calmly, "Please speak."
After a slight hesitation, Emperor Wuhen said, "The Sovereign of Qi only recognizes Your Highness alone. Why would Your Highness still help us, a pair of orphans?"
The Sovereign of Qi had asked this question before.
Su Yu smiled slightly and said calmly, "There is no other reason. It was just a promise. You have done me a favor, and I will definitely repay it."
Repaying favors was Su Yu's code of conduct, and there were no exceptions.
The two women were stunned, and the way they looked at Su Yu changed completely.
They had been more or less guarded against Su Yu before, but now that they were in trouble, they could clearly see Su Yu's character. They admired him and felt fortunate.
Fortunate that they had met Su Yu, and fortunate that they had worked hard to fulfill their promise.
The expression of the second prince, who had witnessed everything, changed from shock to shock, and finally to ashen. He had never imagined that Su Yu could find such powerful reinforcements!
He had never imagined that a salted fish like Princess Ruchen could make a comeback!
What he regretted was that he was the one who had beaten Princess Ruchen into a salted fish!
If he had known that the Sixth Prince could recruit such powerful reinforcements, he would not have provoked Princess Ruchen for the sake of a mere twenty people.
Now she must hate him to the core, right?
As he pondered, he slowly retreated, leaving the Princess's Manor dejectedly.
"Hehe, Second Imperial Brother, where are you going?" Princess Ru Chen asked with a smile.
The second prince stopped in his tracks and forced a smile. "There are guests from my sister's manor. I will not stay any longer. Farewell."
"You can leave, and I cannot stop you. But as for them, hehe, did they break the contract? Betray? Fine, 10,000 divine stones for each of them. If they can't pay up, I'm sorry, but you will have to spend a hundred years in the Empire's prison! "Princess Ruchen raised her eyebrows and said with a murderous aura.
The second prince's expression kept changing, and he said in a low voice, "Sister, aren't you making things difficult for us?"
If he kept them, where would his prestige be?
Would the more than eighty people he had recruited still be loyal to him?
"Hehe, it is only right and proper to repay a debt. You have received my blessing, but you want to leave? Do you really think I am a pushover?" Princess Ruchen said this with a lack of confidence. She involuntarily grabbed Su Yu's arm, feeling reassured.
The second prince's expression turned cold, and he shouted, "Do not be afraid of her. She may not be able to seize the position of crown prince. Follow me!"
The greatest hope was still the first prince. Princess Ruchen's fate was most likely death or banishment.
Princess Ruchen let out a cold laugh. "Let's see who dares to leave!"
At once, a group of traitors could not move, like wooden stakes.
Only half of them clenched their teeth and followed the second prince, hoping to get lucky.
Princess Ruchen's gaze turned cold, but she could not stop them.
Su Yu looked on coldly from the side, calmly saying, "Everyone, listen up! Remember those traitors who followed the second prince. Tomorrow, at the relic of the Dayu, kill every person you see. You will get 5,000 divine stones for each person you kill! "
An ordinary peak overlord would not even get 1,000 divine stones in a year.
5,000 divine stones was a full five years' worth of harvest!
And the method was simple — kill a person!
They were already mentally prepared to kill people at the relic of the Dayu, but to receive such a huge reward for killing people … forgive their poor imagination, they had never imagined it.
In an instant, hundreds of pairs of burning eyes stared fixedly at the dozen or so traitors behind the second prince.
His gaze was like that of a starving tiger staring at white sheep, wishing that he could rush over and eat them alive.
Creak —
The dozen traitors behind the second prince could not move an inch. They turned around with stiff expressions, meeting the ferocious gazes of the crowd. Those with weak willpower were so frightened that their legs turned to jelly.
The curly-bearded scholar looked as if he had lost a funeral, no longer having the carefree and unrestrained air of waving his fan. He gulped and bowed respectfully to Princess Ruchen. "I was momentarily blinded by greed. Now that I have realized my error, please take me in, Princess."
The rest followed suit.
"It was the second prince's flowery words that bewitched me. It was not my own will. Please investigate, Princess."
"The second prince used despicable methods to lure and threaten me. I had no choice but to comply!"
A group of people pushed the blame to the second prince, making him so angry that his nose was crooked.
Many of them had sought him out, such as the curly-bearded scholar.
Princess Ruchen could not make up her mind. She thought for a moment, then looked toward Su Yu, subtly taking him as the leader.
Looking at them, Su Yu calmly said, "Some of you were tempted. If you pay your debts, I'll let you go, or you'll be imprisoned for a hundred years! There are also some who betrayed me because they were threatened. I can forgive them, and they can return to serve me. "
He did not kill them all at once. Instead, he dealt with them separately, fairly and reasonably.
The curly-bearded scholar was overjoyed. He was about to speak when Su Yu's words sent him into a bottomless pit of ice. "But there is also a group who betrayed me and brought new masters to provoke me. If you want to choose a good tree to nest in, or if you want to be a wise man, or if you do not want to be covered in dust, I will grant you your wishes. I will not take you in, nor will I make you pay compensation or send you to prison. We will meet at the relic of the Dayu!"
"That's right. I'm talking about the eight people who betrayed me last night. Get ready. The time to prove your worth has come."
He spoke calmly, but his words were filled with cruelty and bloodthirst.
Tomorrow, they would be hunted down by the Purple Demon Armored Warriors. They would have nowhere to run.
The curly-bearded scholar's legs turned to jelly. He begged, "Your Highness, please have mercy. I was blinded by greed. I don't want to die …"
Princess Ruchen's expression turned cold. "Did you hear that? Do as Sixth Brother says. "
Hualala —
A group of Purple Demon Armored Warriors threw them out like wolves and tigers.
"If you give up on the relic of the Dayu, I will personally give the order to kill you. Oh, don't even think about leaving the palace before the relic of the Dayu," Su Yu added, cutting off their thoughts of escaping.
Participating in the relic of the Dayu might allow them to escape death by a fluke. If they did not participate, they would not be able to leave the palace. Even if they did, so what? All lands under the heavens belonged to the Emperor. It was too easy for a prince to kill anyone.
The eight of them were like abandoned stray dogs, remorseful and dejected as they followed the dejected second prince.
