In the room, Nie Tian was shocked by the elder's iceberg theory and fell into a long silence.
"Nie Tian, you are a hidden talent. Don't be blinded by the gains and losses in front of you." Seeing that Nie Tian was silent, the elder smiled faintly and said, "You still have a long way to go. One day, when your power is enough to influence the entire All-Heaven Sacred World, you will have the right to stand side by side with the Empress."
"Stand side by side?" Nie Tian's eyes trembled and he laughed inwardly. It turned out that in the elder's eyes, he was not qualified to stand side by side with Ruoyu Qianye.
He suddenly found it rather funny when he thought of this.
This old man had appeared out of the blue, and had also proclaimed Ruoyu Qianye to be the Empress for no reason. Then, he had said some unverified words and wanted to take Ruoyu Qianye away from him. Was this not laughable?
What was even funnier was that he had almost compromised!
The scene before him was very similar to the time when the Mo Clan had tried to take Mo Ruxi away in the three thousand small worlds. Back then, Nie Tian had been fearless of heaven and earth, as well as ghosts and gods. Even when facing the Mo Clan, which was far more powerful than him, he hadn't shown the slightest fear.
But now, he had the identity of Sacred Leader Star and had many experts behind him. He began to think too much and weigh the gains and losses.
He did not want to admit it, but he had to admit that he had restrained his edge and drive too much along the way.
As the elder had said, hiding one's edge and showing one's clumsiness was the way to protect oneself.
Suddenly, he looked up at the elder. The latter's eyes were as deep as an abyss, but he could sense a hint of cunning. It was as if he was proud of controlling his opponent. It was as if he was saying that he had no choice but to accept it.
"Sir, you don't know what Ruoyu and I have been through, so you have no right to comment on the matter between us." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "I know that you've affected her mind with some kind of method. Any decision she makes right now is not from her heart, so I won't let her leave. "
The old man was taken aback by Nie Tian's words. Clearly, he did not expect Nie Tian to have such a reaction.
To him, Nie Tian was already under his control. As long as Ruoyu Qianye asked, Nie Tian would have no choice but to agree no matter how helpless he was.
But now, Nie Tian's unyielding attitude was something he didn't expect, and it caught him off guard.
Ruoyu Qianye looked at Nie Tian and furrowed her brows. She seemed to want to say something but didn't.
The darkness in her eyes dimmed a little.
"What if it's unsafe for the empress to stay here?" The old man calmed down, looked at Nie Tian, and questioned, "Do you know how many people are targeting the empress and want her life?"
"As long as I'm here, she'll be here!" Nie Tian replied coldly and firmly.
"For the empress, are you willing to go against everyone in the world?" The old man's eyes glowed as he asked coldly.
"If everyone in the world wants to kill her, so what if I go against everyone in the world?" Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he said in a serious tone.
"You …" The old man growled. Suddenly, he felt as though there was a huge rock pressing on his chest, rendering him speechless.
Nie Tian's stubbornness and unyieldingness had exceeded his expectations.
After a while, Nie Tian's expression calmed down and he said, "Whether it's the Ten Annihilations of the Evil Woman or the empress, in my eyes, she is Ruoyu Qianye. This has never changed. No matter what she has to bear in the future, I will shoulder it with her. "
His words fell into Ruoyu Qianye's ears, but it was like a drop of water falling into a deep river, stirring up layers of ripples.
The darkness in her eyes dimmed a little.
"Nie Tian, what the empress has to bear in the future is something you can't bear!" The old man looked at Nie Tian and said Cold.
Nie Tian smiled and said, "What I can bear is something you can't imagine."
The old man's eyes trembled violently. The tenacity and sharpness in Nie Tian's eyes made him shudder for a moment, but he didn't give up. He said directly, "If I insist on taking the empress away, can you stop me?"
"I won't go with you." As soon as he finished speaking, Ruoyu Qianye said, "No matter what happens, I will stay by Nie Tian's side and be with him."
"Your Majesty, you …" The old man's expression changed but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ruoyu Qianye. The latter said Cold, "I'm the empress, this is my order!"
"This …" The old man froze and was speechless.
He obviously did not expect Ruoyu Qianye to use the empress' identity to control him.
Ruoyu Qianye looked at Nie Tian and nodded with a smile. There was a hint of gentleness in her eyes.
The old man's expression froze and he could not react for a long time.
Everything was under his control just now. Why did he lose control all of a sudden?
After a long time, the old man calmed down and sighed, "Empress, since you are not willing to return to the Ten Destruction Heaven Prison with me, I can only stay by your side."
"Sir, may I know how to address you?" Nie Tian took a step forward and asked before Ruoyu Qianye could say anything.
Nie Tian had many questions about the old man's identity.
"I am Yu Jing." The old man looked at Nie Tian and hesitated for a while before saying his name.
"Elder Yu, I want to know who they are. You said that someone wants Ruoyu dead." Nie Tian nodded and continued to ask.
"A very ancient force. It should have existed since the All-Heaven Sacred Realm was formed." Yu Jing's eyes darkened. "Rumor has it that this organization's responsibility is to maintain the balance of the All-Heaven Sacred Realm."
"A long time ago, the All-Heaven Sacred Realm was one. Then, a near-destructive disaster happened and the All-Heaven Sacred Realm collapsed, forming the many sacred realms that we know today."
"After the All-Heaven Sacred Realm was formed, this organization began to maintain the stability and balance of the various realms. They ruled the entire All-Heaven Sacred Realm as their protector."
"However, after a long time, this organization gradually hid behind the scenes and controlled everything in the dark."
"Now, many top forces in the All-Heaven Sacred Realm are actually controlled by this organization. For example, the Heaven Sacred Pavilion and the five academies that you know of. "
Then, Yu Jing's eyes flickered and he continued, "Therefore, it is not safe for the Empress to stay here!"
Nie Tian's heart tightened as he fell into silence.
Yu Jing's words were too shocking to him.
Who would have thought that the famous Heaven Sacred Pavilion and the five academies were just puppets of a hidden force!
After a while, Nie Tian calmed down and asked, "What exactly is this force, Elder Yu?"
Ruoyu Qianye's eyes flickered. She also wanted to know who was threatening her.
"The Human Sovereign Palace!" Yu Jing kept silent for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and uttered the three words one by one.
