However, Emperor Lin Mubai did not speak. His lips were trembling, but he did not make any sound, nor did he have any intention of stopping Cang Yue.
Fang Zhengzhi frowned slightly.
He did not know what happened between Ping Yang's mother and Emperor Lin Mubai, but he understood one thing. Ping Yang's mother seemed to be Cang Yue's master.
If she was the master, then Cang Yue's treatment of Ping Yang was a little exaggerated and illogical.
As a "servant", why would Cang Yue want to kill Ping Yang?
Because Ping Yang should not have been born? Or was it because of the plot of an illegitimate daughter? It seemed plausible, but it was a little far-fetched.
Most importantly, Cang Yue was obviously here to bring Ping Yang back to the place called Lingyun. She was even ordered by Ping Yang's mother to bring Ping Yang back to Lingyun.
This way, there would be too many loopholes.
Ping Yang's mother must have known that Cang Yue came to pick Ping Yang up. It might even have been an order from Ping Yang's mother. In that case, no matter how much Cang Yue wanted Ping Yang to die, she wouldn't do it so openly, right?
That did not make sense.
However, from Cang Yue's expression and words, Cang Yue did not seem to care about anyone knowing that she wanted to kill Ping Yang. Furthermore, she had openly admitted to Fang Zhengzhi and everyone else that she wanted Ping Yang dead.
Not only that, after expressing his determination, he even said that he wanted to bring Ping Yang back. He wanted to bring Ping Yang back to meet her mother?
This was clearly not in line with Cang Yue's identity as a servant.
If Cang Yue had not held back just now and was bent on killing Ping Yang, it might have made sense. But bringing Ping Yang back, was Cang Yue not afraid that Ping Yang's mother would find out about this?
After all, once Ping Yang really met her mother, it would be impossible for Cang Yue to hide what she had done.
Could it be that she wanted to kill Ping Yang on the way?
That was also impossible.
Ping Yang's sudden appearance in front of Fang Zhengzhi was the best opportunity. Cang Yue could explain that it was a mistake.
But why was that?
This was what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking. Ping Yang seemed to have thought of this as well.
"Even if I am nothing in front of you, I still have the right to refuse to go with you!" Ping Yang's attitude was incomparably firm at this moment. The light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter, illuminating her dull eyes once again. It was even clearer than before, and even more pure and untainted.
"You can refuse, but I can also bring your body back." Cang Yue's lips curled into a cold smile. She looked at Ping Yang as if she was looking at an ant, an ant that could be squashed to death at any time.
It was shocking.
It was extremely shocking.
Yan Xiu, Shan Yu, the Mountain Breaking Army, the Yan Cloud Calvary, and even Yan Qianli were stunned by Cang Yue's words when they saw the cold smile on Cang Yue's lips.
Cang Yue's identity had been revealed.
She took Ping Yang's mother as her master, so no matter what, Ping Yang should be considered her young master. How could a servant believe that her young master was an ant?
Wu Yuer's expression was also somewhat puzzled. She looked at Cang Yue's expression and frowned. This kind of thing where a servant would disrespect their master might happen in some big families.
However, there were conditions.
For example, if the master's status was not high, while the servant was the master's servant on the surface, in reality, she was working for someone else with a higher status.
However, Cang Yue was not a lowly servant in such a family.
She represented Ling Yun.
Others might not know about Ling Yun, but Wu Yuer knew him very well. She knew that Ling Yun and family were two completely different concepts. As such, Cang Yue could not possibly work for someone else.
This was because Ling Yun's servant was not a true servant. Cang Yue took Ping Yang's mother as her master, which meant that she was the direct disciple of Ping Yang's mother.
Only a direct disciple, especially one who had made a 'blood sacrifice', would address their master as master and serve by their master's side for life.
In other words, this master-servant relationship was voluntary and equal. It was formed by the direct disciple willingly. As such, there was no possibility of betrayal.
A "servant" who respected his master and would never betray his master was so cold to his young master and even wanted to kill his young master in broad daylight.
No matter how one looked at it, this was unbelievable.
Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists. Cang Yue was very powerful, much more powerful than he had imagined. She was even more powerful than King Xieluo. He could no longer deal with such a person.
However …
How could he allow Ping Yang to suffer such humiliation?
"It seems like you want to try again?" Cang Yue seemed to have noticed Fang Zhengzhi's emotions. She looked at him and said, "If you insist on seeking death, I don't mind fulfilling your wish. Even if Lin Mubai uses all his power, I am not afraid!"
"What I do has nothing to do with the Great Xia!" Fang Zhengzhi's gaze turned cold. The Traceless Sword appeared in his hands once again. The demonic purple light instantly lit up.
"Fang Zhengzhi, don't!" Lin Mubai's voice rang out once again. Then, a sigh could be heard. "Cang Yue, even if you do not acknowledge me as your master, Ping Yang is still your young master. You …"
"Shut up!" Cang Yue interrupted Lin Mubai. "What young master? I, Cang Yue, have never thought of myself as a young master. If not for your selfishness more than ten years ago, we would not be in this predicament today. "
"I … pfft!" Lin Mubai's face paled. As if recalling something, his chest heaved up and down. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Feihua could feel the change in Lin Mubai's emotions. She immediately supported Lin Mubai. Then, she looked at Cang Yue. Her expression flickered, as if she wanted to say something.
"Hahaha … Lin Mubai, hurry up and die. Only with your death can you redeem your sins. And Chen Feihua, why didn't you tell us how you brought Ping Yang back from Ling Yun Tower? The first concubine of the Great Xia Dynasty. What a joke, what a joke! " Cang Yue looked at Lin Mubai spitting out a mouthful of blood. She did not seem to care at all. Instead, she laughed happily.
"I did that because it was my …"
"Hua 'er, you don't have to explain. I understand. I was too selfish. If not for the fact that I neglected the empire and caused the Great Xia Dynasty to be in chaos, you would not have gone to Ling Yun Tower!" Lin Mubai waved his hand and stopped Chen Feihua from continuing.
"That's right, it was your selfishness. Do you think you can ask Ling Yun Tower for someone just because of Chen Feihua? Master made a mistake. He should not have trusted a selfish person like you. It was a waste of master's love for you. If not for master, would the Great Xia Dynasty be where it is today? Hahaha … If it wasn't for Master, the Great Xia Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago. Look at you now, you're young and you're an emperor. How glorious is that? Lin Mubai, everything you have now is thanks to Master. But how did you treat Master? "
Cang Yue's voice was not loud. However, it reverberated in the sky above Flame Capital City. In the storm, it was like a bone-chilling white frost, sending chills down one's spine.
Selfish, despicable.
Every single one of these words was a crime punishable by the death of nine generations.
However, neither the Mountain Breaking Army nor the Yan Cloud Calvary stood up after hearing these words. Even Xing Yuanguo chose to remain silent.
It was not because Cang Yue represented Ling Yun Tower. It was because he could not refute her words.
"Yu 'er … I was selfish. I have let you down!" Emperor Lin Mubai's body trembled as he knelt down on the city walls. He gazed into the distance. This Emperor actually shed tears at this moment. He shed tears in front of the army as his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
"Your Majesty, please take care of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
The Mountain Breaking Army's voices rang out in unison the moment Lin Mubai knelt down. Everyone's face was filled with anxiety.
"Oh? You are saying that I am selfish and sorry? Is there any use? I, Cang Yue, did not come here today because of you. You don't have to blame yourself. Just be a good Emperor and the ruler of your country! "Cang Yue looked at Emperor Lin Mubai, who was kneeling down. Her expression did not change at all.
"Cang Yue, what is Yu 'er …"
"It's none of your business. You don't need to care!" Cang Yue interrupted Emperor Lin Mubai. Then, she turned to Ping Yang and said, "Either you come with me, or I will kill you and take you away!"
"I will not let you take Ping Yang away!" Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out right after Cang Yue's. His tone was as firm as Ping Yang's.
"You?" Cang Yue sneered.
"Me too!" At this moment, a figure stood beside Fang Zhengzhi, his dark eyes filled with determination.
"You?" Cang Yue's gaze froze. Then, her lips curled into a cold smile. "Southern Region Queen, Shan Yu, hmm … I suppose you have some influence, but not enough?"
"Me too!" Another figure stood up. His ink-colored robe swayed gently in the wind. His expression was as cold as ice.
It was Yan Xiu.
"I will not let you take Ping Yang away either!" Yan Qianli's voice reached Fang Zhengzhi almost at the same time. A blood-red light shone from Yan Qianli's body.
"Hmm, the Yan Family of Western Liang is getting more and more interesting. Yan Qianli, if I'm not wrong, you have just become a Sage. You don't have any status, right? Are you sure you want to make an enemy out of Ling Yun Tower? "Cang Yue looked at Yan Qianli and Yan Xiu without any change in her expression.
"I may not have any status, but you cannot represent Ling Yun Tower!" Yan Qianli clenched his fists and exuded a domineering aura.
Status.
This was what Cang Yue and Yan Qianli said at the same time.
However, it was a phrase that not everyone understood. Yan Qianli had no status? How could the Prince of Western Liang not have any status?
However, Yan Qianli had admitted that he didn't have an identity. This caused most people to be confused. Although they didn't understand, no one dared to ask this question.
"Interesting. However, do you really think that I, Cang Yue, will retreat because of the Southern Region and Western Liang? Isn't that a joke? " Cang Yue's expression was unusually arrogant. It was as if she did not care about Shan Yu, Yan Qianli and Yan Xiu at all.
"What if you include me?" At this moment, Wu Yuer, who had been standing beside Fang Zhengzhi and had her hands on her waist, finally spoke.
"You?" Cang Yue furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Wu Yuer from head to toe. Finally, she asked, "Who are you?"
Wu Yuer didn't answer Cang Yue's question. Instead, she stretched out her hands that were pressed against her waist. At the same time, a silk-like belt appeared.
There wasn't anything too obvious on the tape. There was only a picture embroidered on the back of the tape. It was a picture of a busy street. There were many lifelike little people in the picture, and there were all kinds of coins in the hands of the little people. There were copper coins, silver coins, and even gold ingots.
However …
These copper coins, silver coins and gold ingots were all black. They were not embroidered with any other kind of silk and did not look too obvious. It felt as if they were hidden in the dark.
Fang Zhengzhi definitely knew what this belt was. This was because this was the belt that Wu Yuer always wore. In fact, he often touched this belt.
However, he never had the chance to take off this belt. Now, Wu Yuer suddenly took it off, which made him a little confused.
Could it be that Wu Yuer wanted to use this belt to beat Cang Yue up?
This was a thought that popped up in Fang Zhengzhi's mind. However, he quickly suppressed this thought because the scene was too beautiful.
However, the moment Wu Yuer revealed the belt, Cang Yue's expression clearly changed. She stared fixedly at the belt in Wu Yuer's hand as a sliver of surprise appeared on her face.
"Your surname is Wu?" Cang Yue finally spoke after looking at it for a while.
"That's right." Wu Yuer nodded.
"Hmm, logically speaking, since your surname is Wu, I, Cang Yue, should leave today. However, I cannot do this because this is an order from my master. I have to bring you back to Ping Yang, regardless of life or death!" After a moment of silence, Cang Yue spoke again. When she said the last two words, "regardless of life or death", her tone was extremely firm.
"Regardless of life or death?! How … how is this possible? Yu Er, how did Yu Er … "Emperor Lin Mubai's expression changed at this moment. He looked at Cang Yue in disbelief.
