Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that Lu Ming wasn't challenging anymore.
They were afraid that Lu Ming would continue to challenge and reveal even more powerful trump cards. If that happened, they would be in a mess.
He couldn't be any more perverted, or they wouldn't be able to take it.
"Alright, then I announce that this meeting is over. You can come out now!"
The Imperial Advisor's voice reverberated throughout the hall. He then pressed his hand down, and a ray of light fell on the spherical world. Instantly, a black vortex appeared above Lu Ming and the rest.
Lu Ming and the rest rushed into the vortex. In the next instant, everyone in the spherical world appeared outside the spherical world.
The Imperial Advisor waved his hand and kept the spherical world.
"The top ten this time, come here to receive Your Majesty's reward!"
The Imperial Advisor announced again. He then retreated behind the Saint Emperor and stood respectfully.
Lu Ming, Di Jianyi, Xu Wuya, and the rest of the top ten walked to the front of the Saint Emperor and bowed with cupped fists. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Dispense with the formalities. The top ten will receive a Prefecture Opening Token. You will be given a token!"
The Saint Emperor waved his hand, and ten palace maids flew out. Each palace maid was holding a jade plate, and on the jade plate was a token.
This was the Prefecture Opening Token.
In the Taixu Dynasty, only those who had the Prefecture Opening Token were qualified to open a prefecture and rule over a region. It was considered to be recognized by the government, and other experts would go and join them.
"You are all heroes of this era. I hope that you will develop well. I hope that there will be more Heavenly Kings in the future!"
The Saint Emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Ming and the rest thanked the Saint Emperor and kept the tokens.
Countless people around them were envious, and they wished they could take the tokens for themselves.
"Also, the top ten will receive a reward. You can make a request of me. Let's start with the third place. Lu Ming, what do you want? Just say it! "
The Saint Emperor looked at Lu Ming with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Lu Ming's condition is that Your Majesty pardon Blue Merchant's crimes and release the Blue Merchant from the Imperial Guard!"
Lu Ming cupped his fists and stated his conditions.
"Blue Merchant?"
The Sage Emperor frowned in confusion.
"No, absolutely not. Blue Merchant has committed a great crime. How can he be pardoned?!"
Before the Saint Emperor could speak, Wu Fan shouted.
They had worked so hard to capture the Blue Merchant, so how could they let the Blue Merchant go?
A cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes. He looked at Wu Fan and shouted, "Wu Fan, how dare you! His Majesty the Sacred Emperor hasn't said anything yet, and you're already talking nonsense. From your tone, are you ordering the Sacred Emperor around?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
Wu Fan's face turned pale in an instant, revealing a look of fear. He said in a trembling voice, "You … Don't slander me. I just feel that Blue Merchant is guilty of an extremely heinous crime …"
"So what if he's guilty? You think that in the Taixu Dynasty, the Sacred Emperor doesn't have the right to pardon someone, right? "
Lu Ming continued to shout.
Wu Fan was so scared that he almost peed his pants. His body trembled and he was dumbfounded.
This was a serious matter.
Ordering the Sacred Emperor! Questioning the Sacred Emperor!
Either of these was a crime punishable by death.
In the Taixu Dynasty, the Sacred Emperor was the sky and he could cover the sky with one hand.
Even if Wu Fan was a hundred times more courageous, he wouldn't dare to have such thoughts.
He was used to being arrogant because his father was the State Preceptor and he was a peerless talent. He usually acted high and mighty and scolded everyone he met.
Just now, it was purely an instinctive reaction.
He hated Lu Ming and Blue Merchant to the core. When he heard that Lu Ming wanted to pardon the Blue Merchant, he blurted it out without thinking. He didn't expect that Lu Ming would catch him red-handed.
"You … Don't talk nonsense …"
Wu Fan couldn't stop muttering and he was about to cry.
The Sacred Emperor frowned. The State Preceptor was shocked when he saw this.
"Bastard, kneel down and beg for forgiveness from the Sacred Emperor!"
The State Preceptor shouted at Wu Fan.
Plop!
Wu Fan's legs went soft and he knelt down in front of the Sacred Emperor. He screamed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't mean that. Even if you gave me ten thousand times more courage, I wouldn't dare to question Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty …"
Wu Fan begged with tears and snot running down his face.
"Your Majesty, Wu Fan really didn't mean that. He was just anxious just now …"
The State Preceptor also pleaded with the Sacred Emperor. Then, the Crown Prince stepped forward and pleaded with him.
The Sacred Emperor frowned and said, "Let Wu Fan face the wall for a hundred years as punishment!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The State Preceptor hurriedly thanked him and then scolded Wu Fan, "Bastard, thank His Majesty for his kindness!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Fan kowtowed.
The Sacred Emperor waved his hand and asked Wu Fan to leave.
Wu Fan retreated to one side and roared in his heart. He was filled with endless killing intent.
This time, he had really embarrassed himself.
It was all Lu Ming's fault. It was all Lu Ming's fault.
He blamed everything on Lu Ming. If he had the chance, he would definitely chop Lu Ming into pieces to vent his anger.
"What happened to Blue Merchant? When was he captured by the Imperial Guards? "
The Sacred Emperor asked.
Immediately, a burly man in iron armor walked out and bowed. "Your Majesty, it's like this …"
This burly man in iron armor was the commander of the Imperial Guards. He immediately told the Sacred Emperor about the Blue Merchant.
"I see!"
The Sacred Emperor muttered. He looked at Lu Ming and said, "Since you have made this request, I will naturally fulfill it. I pardon Blue Merchant. Go, bring Blue Merchant here!"
"Yes!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards immediately ordered one of his subordinates to bring Blue Merchant here.
This time, Wu Fan did not dare to say a word.
Not long after, Blue Merchant was brought here.
"Father!"
Lan Ling was extremely excited when she saw Blue Merchant. She quickly ran over.
Lu Ming also hurried over. He found that Blue Merchant was fine except for his weak aura and low spirit. It was obvious that he had not been punished in the Imperial Guards.
This was most likely due to Holy Thousand Heavenly King.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Blue Merchant bowed to the Sacred Emperor.
"Blue Merchant, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
The Sacred Emperor said.
"I'm a cripple now. I don't dare to meet Your Majesty!"
Blue Merchant said.
"I'm curious. What's the relationship between you and Lu Ming? He actually wasted a request to save you!"
The Sacred Emperor said casually.
Many people, including Blue Merchant himself, were shocked.
The Sacred Emperor was the ruler of the Taixu Dynasty. His casual words often had a deep meaning.
Moreover, Blue Merchant's identity was too sensitive. He was Jing Yu's teacher, and Jing Yu had committed a serious crime back then.
However, Lu Ming did not hesitate to waste a chance to make a request to the King in order to save Lan Shang.
What was the relationship between Lu Ming and Blue Merchant?
Or was there a relationship between Lu Ming and Jing Yu?
In an instant, many people thought of many things.
"Your Majesty, Lu Ming is my son-in-law. He and my daughter are in love with each other …"
Blue Merchant bowed and said.
"Oh?"
The Sacred Emperor said softly.
At this moment, Lan Ling stepped forward and bowed. Then, she removed her disguise and returned to her original appearance.
