When Xiao Meng heard the roar and the sound of the horn, he abruptly stood up from his seat with a grave expression on his face.
However, in the next moment, he felt a tightness in his chest and started coughing violently. He coughed out another mouthful of black blood and his complexion worsened.
It seemed like the poison in him was extremely potent. Even a seventh grade Battle-Saint like him was so weak.
Xiao Meng took out some crystals and handed them to Bu Fang. Then, he hurriedly turned around and left Fang Fang's Little Store. As a general of the empire, even if he was poisoned, he still had to be at the forefront of the battle. This was his pride as a general.
In the Main Hall.
Currently, many experts had gathered in the Main Hall. They were anxiously trying to think of a way to repel the enemy when the sound of the horn resounded from outside the city gates.
This caused Ji Chengxue's complexion to abruptly change.
"Damn it! Ji Chengyu, you broke your promise! "
Ji Chengxue's complexion became extremely unsightly. Not only him, but everyone else in the Main Hall also had a drastic change in expression.
Ji Chengyu's army had the support of the Shura Sect. There were many experts in the army and they might not be a match for the Shura Sect. Originally, they wanted to wait for the arrival of their respective Supreme-Beings. That way, they would have some confidence. However, the enemy had chosen to start the battle directly!
They immediately panicked.
Ji Chengxue left the Main Hall, changed into his military uniform, and followed the army toward the Imperial City's gates.
As soon as he left the palace, he was greeted by a pale Xiao Meng.
Ji Chengxue looked at the feeble Xiao Meng and let out a sigh. They walked toward the city gates, climbed up to the top of the tower, and looked down at Ji Chengyu's army.
Black clouds pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it. The roars of the densely packed soldiers waving the spears in their hands resounded in everyone's ears, striking fear into their hearts.
Ji Chengxue wore a set of armor that seemed to be cast from gold. His expression was solemn as he stood on the tower, looking down at the army below.
It seemed that due to Ji Chengxue's appearance, the roars of the army gradually stopped.
Among the army, Ji Chengyu slowly emerged on a spirit horse. He raised his head and looked straight at Ji Chengxue, who was standing proudly on the city walls.
"My dear brother, don't blame me for attacking ahead of time. Even though I wanted to give you a chance to catch your breath, I had a special reason."
Ji Chengyu smiled faintly.
Ji Chengxue's expression turned even colder. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of the other party's high-end battle prowess, he would have long ordered the army under him to charge out. However, because the other party had a Supreme-Being expert overseeing them, he had to swallow his anger.
Hualala!
Ji Chengxue didn't say anything. Behind Ji Chengyu, Zhao Musheng also appeared on a spirit horse.
A cold smile hung on Zhao Musheng's face. He stared at Ji Chengxue and clicked his tongue as he shook his head. Then, his gaze suddenly turned cold.
"Do you want to know why we attacked the city in advance?"
"It's only because of one person in your city. Hand over that person, and maybe we will temporarily retreat and continue the negotiation tomorrow."
Ji Chengxue frowned. Attacking just for one person, was this looking down on his Light Wind Empire?
There was anger in his heart, but he couldn't let it out. He could only angrily slap the stone of the city wall.
"Who is it?"
Ji Chengxue's angry voice reverberated in the air.
Ji Chengyu sneered. Zhao Musheng also laughed disdainfully.
"Actually, you're not unfamiliar with this person. It's Fang Fang's Little Store's … Bu Fang," Zhao Musheng slowly said.
As soon as these words left his mouth, it immediately caused a commotion on the city wall.
"What? Owner Bu?! "
Ji Chengxue's expression changed drastically as well. These people actually wanted them to hand over Owner Bu? Why was their target Bu Fang? Owner Bu was such a … low-key person.
Bu Fang's reputation was extremely prominent within the imperial city. The experts on the city wall all knew what kind of existence Bu Fang was.
Fang Fang's Little Store had a supreme beast overseeing it. How could they hand over Bu Fang?
Even if they were willing, Bu Fang would never obediently leave with them.
"Impossible! It's impossible to hand over Bu Fang. "Ji Chengxue resolutely refused.
Regardless of whether it was Bu Fang's culinary skills or Bu Fang's strength and background, Ji Chengxue could not simply hand him over. Bu Fang was a special existence within the imperial city. The empire's jurisdiction did not include him.
Zhao Musheng seemed to have already expected Ji Chengxue to refuse. He was not in a hurry and only slightly waved his hand.
"It's fine if you don't hand him over. Just make that Bu Fang hand over the thing he just obtained."
Thing? What thing?
Everyone on the city wall was confused. They had no idea what was going on.
After Zhao Musheng, two blood-colored figures floated out and hovered in the sky.
The eyes of these two figures were incomparably cold. It was as if a monstrous sea of blood was tumbling beneath their eyes.
"Hand over that person and you can live. If you don't … you can all die." A Blood Guard's hoarse voice rang out. It was filled with arrogance.
The experts on the city wall were instantly enraged.
Especially the experts from the Godly Temple of the Wildlands. Their eyes widened.
"Shura Sect demon!!"
Many people felt a chill in their hearts.
They had dealt with the Shura Sect before. Their respective sects had records of the Shura Sect. Therefore, they were very clear about the hierarchy of the Shura Sect.
Dressed in a blood-colored robe and emitting such a powerful aura, they must be the Shura Sect Blood Guards!
Every Blood Guard was at the peak of a half-step Supreme-Being! They were only a step away from the Supreme-Being Realm.
During the Shura Sect's golden age, there were more than a dozen Blood Guards. That was when the Southern Region was ruled by the Shura Sect …
Naturally, these experts were no strangers to the Blood Guards!
An existence at the peak of a half-step Supreme-Being was enough to kill almost everyone on the scene.
Their minds were trembling, and a kind of fear was spreading in them.
"Your Majesty … we should let Owner Bu hand that thing over to these people. That aura … is too terrifying."
On top of the city wall, a minister could not withstand the terrifying pressure emitted by the Blood Guard. His legs trembled as he spoke to Ji Chengxue.
After one person opened his mouth, many ministers also said the same thing.
Since they only needed to hand over one thing to delay the negotiations until tomorrow, why not hand it over?
Bu Fang's store was guarded by a supreme beast. However, if they only wanted Bu Fang to hand over one thing … it shouldn't be too much, right?
"Shut up!! If we agree to this request … how can we maintain our dignity? If we hand over Owner Bu, it means that our dignity will be trampled on! The empire's dignity will be trampled on! "
Ji Chengxue, who was wearing a golden armor, waved his arm and glared at the people around him as he shouted.
He was extremely disappointed in these ministers.
Not to mention the fact that Bu Fang had helped him before, just based on Bu Fang's mysterious power, how could they dare to provoke him?
Ji Chengxue was not stupid. Therefore, he was determined not to hand over Bu Fang.
However, after the Godly Temple of the Wildlands' Elder Sun's eyes flickered, he actually spoke up.
"Your Majesty, we can't destroy an empire because of a single person … If we can delay until our Godly Temple of the Wildlands' Supreme-Being arrives, the Imperial City will be saved. If a war breaks out now, we will definitely lose."
Elder Sun still remembered how Bu Fang had ignored him. Now that there was such a good opportunity to borrow the Shura Sect's power to get rid of Bu Fang, why not?
"No means no! Anyone can hand over, but not Owner Bu … "Ji Chengxue was still as resolute as ever.
Elder Sun's face turned cold as well.
"Your Majesty … It's not up to you whether you hand him over or not. If you can't delay until our Godly Temple of the Wildlands' Supreme-Being arrives, your empire will be defeated by your hands!"
Elder Sun said coldly. His words were like pearls, making Ji Chengxue's heart ache. This was a difficult choice, a difficult one.
"Your Majesty, we can't hand over Owner Bu …"
Xiao Meng couldn't bear to watch any longer. Even though his face was pale, he still stood up and spoke up.
However, before he could finish his words, Elder Sun glared at him and waved his sleeves. Xiao Meng was instantly blown away by a gust of air and spat out blood.
"What right do you have to speak? All of you … Go to Fang Fang's Little Store and inform Bu Fang! Make him hand over that object or himself! "
Elder Sun coldly pointed at the trembling ministers behind Ji Chengxue and roared.
