Outside Three Mountain City, a giant tomb was erected!
A massive stele was erected, with the words' Tomb of the Two Hundred Million Undead in Three Mountain City 'written on it. Next to it was Gu Hai's memorial speech.
Solemnly, Gu Hai bowed three times, ending the public memorial ceremony.
From the moment Dragon God Ying entered the Dahan as a subject, the surroundings fell silent. Even the common people of the two dynasties fell silent after a moment of shock.
The memorial ceremony for the dead of Three Mountain City was originally thought to be a show, and Gu Hai was pretending to gather the people's hearts. But in that short period of time, what happened shocked everyone.
That memorial speech, that oath, everything displayed Gu Hai's determination.
Some of the common people who were unconvinced of Gu Hai changed their attitude from that memorial speech. But soon, when Spirit Mountain attacked, His Majesty remained calm and collected, as if everything was under his control, making them feel more at ease. When the Great Ying Dynasty strangely submitted, countless common people suddenly felt a fanatical worship for Gu Hai.
When the public memorial ceremony ended, everyone still felt like they were dreaming.
In the distance, Emperor Kong and Mister Wu Xing were silent for a long time.
"Heh, Gu Hai? His Holiness was right. This person's methods are no weaker than Long Zhanguo's! "Emperor Kong said with a gloomy expression.
Mister Wu Xing narrowed his eyes as he looked at Gu Hai in the distance, as if he was analyzing something.
"Alright, Mister Wu Xing, someone will report this matter to His Holiness. We should go to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land in the Netherworld. Nangong Shou, I'll have to trouble you!" Emperor Kong looked at a young man in black behind him.
That man nodded and waved his hand.
Weng!
Waves of black fog emerged from the forest.
Emperor Kong, Mister Wu Xing, and a group of people stepped into the black fog and disappeared in front of everyone, as if they had never been here.
No one noticed that this group had disappeared. Only the Unborn Man behind Gu Hai suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction that Emperor Kong and the others had disappeared. However, by the time the Unborn Man looked, everyone had already left.
Gu Hai led his officials and suddenly turned to look at a mountain peak not far away.
The people watching the ceremony were confused and followed Gu Hai's gaze.
At the peak of the mountain stood the leaders of the three great sects and the three great imperial empires. Although the six of them looked calm on the surface, their hearts were on the verge of collapsing.
So, all their planning, all their schemes, all were all in Gu Hai's hands.
Disturbing the Dahan's public memorial ceremony was a joke. Long ago, Gu Hai had known everything....
. and the Dragon God had already defected to the Dahan Imperial Dynasty?
They were just putting on a show. If they had known that the Dragon God had entered the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, how could they have started this war? How could they have pulled strings to go against the Dahan?
Weren't they shooting themselves in the foot?
Now, in the Dahan territory, it was dangerous for the six of them to escape.
Turn hostile? What a joke. They did not have their own luck to protect them. If Kong Xuan and Mosquito Daoren attacked, the six of them would die here.
"The six of you have arrived at the Limitless Celestial Capital. Why don't you come with me to the Limitless Celestial Capital for a while?" Gu Hai said indifferently.
The people watching the ceremony were confused. Only the six of them knew what was going on and were burning with anxiety.
Hundreds of thoughts flashed through their minds. After a long silence, one of the emperors nodded. "Alright. Since the Ancient Emperor has invited us, how can we not go?"
The other five people all looked at him, but his eyes slowly turned firm from the initial hesitation to a resolute one.
Now that they could not escape, they might as well go with Gu Hai. After all, they were invited by Gu Hai. They were Gu Hai's guests. If Gu Hai suddenly killed a guest, it would be detrimental to his reputation.
The other five thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the Limitless Celestial Capital had already flown close.
Gu Hai led his officials and flew to the Limitless Celestial Capital first.
The leaders of the six factions were silent for a while. Instead of running, they flew up as well.
In a great hall.
Gu Hai only had Dragon God Ying accompany him as he talked with the leaders of the six factions in private.
In the great hall, Dragon God Ying looked at the six of them with interest. The six of them looked bitter.
"This is the best batch of tea leaves that the Limitless Celestial Capital has collected this year. Try it!" Gu Hai raised a cup of tea and said with a smile.
Drinking tea?
No matter how good the tea was, the six of them found it hard to swallow.
Looking at the teacups at the side, none of them touched them.
At this moment, Gu Hai meeting the six of them alone could be considered to have given them enough face. The six of them also understood that Gu Hai was waiting for them to give an explanation.
"Ancient Emperor, our actions this time were indeed a little unethical. We offer you this tea as an apology!" A sect leader raised a cup of tea and said.
"Ancient Emperor, we are very sorry for our lack of manners!"
"We were lacking in manners!"
The six of them raised their teacups and toasted to Gu Hai.
Gu Hai looked at the six of them and said, "Sect Leaders and Great Emperors, Gu Hai has been friends with all of you for a long time. However, you have indeed gone too far today. I do not wish to make things difficult for all of you. That is why I took this quiet room to discuss with all of you!"
The six of them looked at Gu Hai with a light in their eyes.
"However, we cannot let this matter rest. The Dahan Imperial Dynasty will never be bullied. The Spiritual Mountain Sacred Ground killed the people of the Dahan. This grudge will not rest until one of us is dead. Although all of you did not cause much damage, we suspect that you will destroy the Dahan!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Ancient Emperor, we dare not!" the six of them said.
"How about this? How about you all propose a solution?" Gu Hai looked at the six of them.
The six of them looked at each other with conflicted expressions.
"Ancient Emperor, our sect is willing to cede five cities as compensation!"
"Our empire is willing to cede five cities as compensation!"
… … …
… … …
… …
The six of them spoke about ceding land as compensation.
However, Gu Hai shook his head and smiled faintly.
"Ancient Emperor, our sect cannot be compared to the Dahan. Five cities is already the limit!" A sect leader said with a frown.
"All of you are mistaken. I have already reached a certain number of cities. A few more cities are nothing to me! I have no intention of asking for your cities! "Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Oh?" The six of them were taken aback.
"Today, all of you colluded with the Spiritual Mountain to deal with the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. I do not wish for there to be a next time!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Of course. Ancient Emperor, don't worry. There won't be a next time!" A sect leader said with a smile.
"It is not easy for every empire and sect to manage a city. I will not ask for anything from you. However, I cannot trust all of your promises. How about we compromise?" Gu Hai said as he sipped his tea.
"Oh?"
"The crown prince of the three dynasties and the young sect leaders of the three sects will enter the Dahan as hostages for 40 years. How about that? As long as none of you have any thoughts of harming the Dahan, I will ensure their safety! I will also give the Dahan Viscount a salary so that they can cultivate on their own. How about that? "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"What?" The six of them were shocked.
Let their own sons enter the Dahan as hostages?
Gu Hai was in no hurry. He waited quietly for the six of them. The six of them had mixed feelings.
Indeed, as Gu Hai had said, this was the best solution. However, the six of them were reluctant to do so.
One of the emperors thought for a while and finally said, "Alright. Ancient Emperor, I will get the crown prince of my empire to come as a hostage immediately!"
The others looked at each other and finally nodded. "Alright. Ancient Emperor, we promise you!"
"Don't worry. I will allow you and your father to communicate. In the controlled area, you will be free to do as you wish!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Many thanks, Ancient Emperor!" The six of them bowed slightly.
"Alright, the six of you may leave now. I hope to see your crown prince within three days!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"You want us to leave?" one of the emperors asked in surprise.
Gu Hai lifted the cup of tea and seemed to offer a toast. He smiled faintly and drank it himself.
The six of them looked at each other and finally bowed to Gu Hai. "Ancient Emperor, farewell!"
Kuang!
The doors to the grand hall opened.
The six of them turned into six beams of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Clatter! Gu Hai put down his teacup.
"Your Majesty, you trust them that much? You let them leave just like that? What if they don't deliver the hostages? "Dragon Shenying frowned.
"Do you think they will?" Gu Hai smiled.
"Uh, probably not. The Dahan Imperial Dynasty is at its peak. It's fine if they don't show any hostility. But now, they must be worried that Your Majesty will use them as a sacrifice!" Dragon Shenying said after some thought.
Gu Hai nodded. "With the six of them, each of them has five cities. That's 30 cities, which is barely the territory of a small dynasty. It's a pity that the Dahan Imperial Dynasty is expanding rapidly and has taken over some scattered cities. They now have about 1,400 cities. Expanding territory is not difficult, but maintaining stability is not easy. However, the Han Royal Dynasty was in too much of a shortage of talents. They needed to open up a program to recruit all the talents in the world. At this moment, the Han Royal Dynasty did not even have enough officials. They barely managed thirty cities. Not only were their foundations unstable, but they also had to face a war with the other six factions. The losses outweigh the gains! "
"The six major powers will not have any other thoughts in the short term after delivering the hostages. They are connected to the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, but they are also the natural barrier of the Dahan Imperial Dynasty, blocking the other powers. Your Majesty has a good plan, using them to block the disturbances of the other powers for the glory of the Dahan Imperial Dynasty! When the Dahan Imperial Dynasty has a stable foundation, they will not fear any disturbances. At that time, they will be able to deal with Spiritual Mountain with all their might, "Dragon God Ying praised.
Gu Hai smiled faintly and shook his head. "No, it started a few days ago. The war against Spiritual Mountain has already started!"
"Oh?" Dragon God Ying was slightly stunned.
It has already started? How come I don't know about it? Furthermore, there are so many factions between the Dahan Imperial Dynasty and Spiritual Mountain. How are they going to fight?
"This is also why I looked for you!" Gu Hai said with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders!" Dragon God Ying said solemnly.
"I have already secretly arranged for Guqin to be in charge of the first battle against Spiritual Mountain. You will quickly follow Chen Tianshan and Sima Changkong to hand over the Ying Empire's territory to Dahan to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble. After you are done with everything, immediately head over to protect and assist Guqin. His trip this time is not a small matter. We cannot afford to lose him!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will deal with everything as soon as possible and cooperate with the Crown Prince of Guqin! "Dragon God Ying said solemnly.
