Not to mention the name list that Li Ying had given him, Shirō Makino wouldn't let them off just because of what they had done in the past.
Until today, this group of people didn't intend to let him off either.
They were always looking for an opportunity to kill him!
Even though he had the protection of the Bai Family's empress, this group of people still wanted to kill him.
He didn't know if these people were stupid or too evil!
Therefore, what else could he say to a group of people who treated him like enemies even though they were of the same race?
He would just kill them!
Shirō Makino killed this quasi-emperor with a single sword talisman, stunning everyone in the room.
They were in high positions and lived like princes.
Many years of comfortable life had made them forget the meaning of danger.
Even if they were Deities, they only needed to move their mouths to kill.
When had he ever seen such a direct confrontation without a word of disagreement?
Therefore, when Shirō Makino's control talisman hit the faces of those Deities and the sword talisman pierced their hearts, they were still in disbelief.
Why did he dare to make a move?
Shouldn't he give face to the ancestor after today's quarrel and then send someone to kill him later?
Don't laugh. This was really what this group of people was thinking.
They only wanted to take things for granted.
As for Xiao Bai's thoughts …
They didn't care at first.
They didn't need to care anymore.
Bai Rui stared dumbfounded at Bai Muye's massacre. He was completely dumbfounded.
Bai Muxun was very excited!
Yes, he wasn't stunned.
This was the biggest thought that he had been hiding in the depths of his heart!
Get rid of that group of old fogeys who don't do anything!
He had once thought that it would take 10, 20, or even 30, 50, or even 100 years to accomplish this great dream.
However, he didn't expect that his handsome younger brother, who shared the same great-grandfather as him, would actually use less than ten seconds to do it.
Most importantly, he had succeeded in doing it!
More importantly, the empress was here!
Then …
No one cared.
At this moment, Bai Muxun actually wanted to say something to Shirō Makino. Even though this was a particularly inappropriate occasion, he really wanted to say …
You are the master of the family, and you are the one!
He wasn't mocking her, nor was he mocking her. He was absolutely sincere.
He absolutely believed that under the leadership of his younger brother, the Bai Family would become the strongest family in the world in the shortest time possible!
This was a strong sense of trust that came from nowhere.
Those who had participated in the incident back then sat there with a dull look on their faces. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
He looked at Shirō Makino in fear.
Under this extremely handsome appearance, what was hidden … was the heart of a demon king?
Too ruthless!
Too savage!
Moreover, those he had killed … were all Deities!
Since when did a big shot of this realm become so weak?
Just at this time, an old royal family spokesperson, sitting in an especially low-key but old flying car that would shock anyone who saw it, slowly landed in front of Vermilion Bird Avenue Number Two's entrance. With a smile on his face, he knocked on the door here.
"Please inform them that I, Lu, the spokesperson of the royal family, have come under imperial orders."
When the old man finished speaking, he looked calmly at the Bai Family concierge, who was a little confused.
As the saying goes, the Prime Minister's doorstep is an eight-rank official. The concierge of the Bai Family was naturally not someone who was ignorant. The old man's bearing, coupled with the number plate on the flying car behind him, made him feel a great deal of pressure.
"Please wait, I'll be right there!"
The concierge quickly turned on his communicator and contacted the people behind him.
What happened in the Bai Family's backyard had yet to spread.
However, those who were observant were guessing what had happened there.
Soon, the head of the Bai Family, Bai Rui, came out with a large group of people.
No matter what had happened, a visitor from the royal family had to be received with the highest standards.
"Oh, it's Mr. Lu. My apologies for the delay. Please come in, come in!" When Bai Rui saw the old man, he was first taken aback, but then a sincere smile appeared on his solemn face.
"Head of the Bai Family, we're old friends. There's no need to be so polite. I'm here to deliver a verbal message from His Majesty," the old man said calmly.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!" Bai Rui cupped his fists and bowed.
The old man cleared his throat.
Ahem!
"The elders of the Bai Family, Bai Shanxue, Bai Shanli, and Bai Shanzhi … participated in the rebellion of the princes, and the evidence is conclusive. In consideration of the Bai Family's many years of hard work and contributions, I'll allow the Bai Family to handle this matter on their own, and hand over the authority to the Zulong Empire … Shirō Makino! "
When the old man finished, he nodded slightly at Bai Rui. "I see that you're quite busy, so I won't disturb you any longer. If you have time, come to my place for a drink or two."
Bai Rui looked at the old man and nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course!"
The old man turned around and walked out of the Bai Family's main gate. After boarding his flying car, it quickly left.
Bai Rui was still in a daze for a long time.
The relationship between the emperor and Shirō Makino … was really good!
Bai Rui did not believe that this matter was premeditated.
However, the royal family was the first to know that something had happened to the Bai Family … This was not a big deal. Bai Rui also understood that if the royal family was not aware of what happened on Vermilion Bird Avenue, they would be underestimating the royal family's ability.
Most importantly, after the royal family found out, they made the decision to support Shirō Makino in the shortest time possible.
This kind of favor was something that others could only be envious of.
Shirō Makino stood at the back of the crowd. Before the old man left, he saw the old man glance in his direction, but there was no meaning in his eyes.
In the eyes of others, the old man had only glanced at the group of people.
The Zulong Empire's Worshippers?
Shirō Makino pondered for a moment, then laughed involuntarily.
It was obvious that Li Ying was afraid that he would be taken advantage of!
And it was also for the sake of his reputation.
No matter what, the old men he killed were nominally seniors of the Bai Family, and were of the same clan as him.
Yet, he killed them without hesitation. If word of this got out, it would have a huge impact on his reputation.
He gave me the list of names, and then took the initiative to take the blame. Li Ying was indeed a good emperor!
The group of people who opposed Bai Rui the fiercest were all dead. No matter what Shirō Makino's true thoughts were, at least in the eyes of the rest of the Bai Family, he would definitely support Bai Rui.
Therefore, the crisis of Bai Rui's impeachment had been completely resolved.
The remaining elders were like birds that were startled by the mere twang of a bow. They were afraid that Bai Muye would look at them and ask, "What did you do back then?"
As long as Shirō Makino was willing to let them go, they would be as obedient as a loyal dog.
"Child, I really have to thank you this time!"
After sending those people away to deal with the funeral affairs, Bai Rui called Shirō Makino to his room and looked at Shirō Makino emotionally. "I've let you down all these years."
"It's all in the past. Second Grandpa, you'll be the head of the family from now on, right?" Shirō Makino asked.
"What, what did you call me just now?" Bai Rui was so emotional that the hand that he used to make tea could not help but tremble.
It must have been hard on this Quasi-emperor for his hand to even tremble while making tea.
"Second Grandpa, what else could I call you? If I dared to call you older brother, my old man would beat me to death, "Shirō Makino said with a smile.
"Hahaha, you can call me whatever you want!" Bai Rui suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was especially carefree. "Your old man is still my younger brother in front of me!"
Shirō Makino smiled gently. He was a peace-loving and kind-hearted person. Wouldn't it be great for everyone to drink a cup of tea and talk about their experiences and knowledge like this?
"After this incident, my side is definitely stable. Moreover, the positions that they've vacated can be used to push a lot of our people into them. For so many years, they've been holding us by the neck … "Bai Rui lamented.
"Mm, that's your problem." Shirō Makino nodded.
"Xiao Bai, I want to invite you to be an elder of the Bai Family," Bai Rui said.
"Ha … Second Grandpa, don't joke around. I don't have that ability." Shirō Makino immediately refused.
He thought to himself, 'Are you kidding me? When did I say I wanted to return to the family? Elder? With that group of people? Forget about it! I think it's dirty! '
Bai Rui looked serious. "I'm not joking. I'm serious. Xiao Bai, come back!"
He didn't know what this Second Grandpa had sacrificed in the past, so he could be a little arrogant in front of him. However, after knowing what he had sacrificed and done all these years, Shirō Makino couldn't be as presumptuous as before.
He looked at Bai Rui seriously and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you. On one hand, you can see that I don't have the time and energy to participate in family affairs. On the other hand, I have to discuss with my parents before making a decision. I'm sure you understand this, right?"
Bai Rui was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. But remember, the Bai Family is now your backing! No matter what happens, don't forget that you have a family. "
Shirō Makino nodded and said, "Yes, I'll remember."
"Go and see the Great Grandaunt. She might not be happy about something like this happening." Bai Rui said softly.
Shirō Makino nodded and smiled. "Alright, I'll go then."
It was hard to say whether Bai Chuyue would be unhappy about this. Anyway, according to Shirō Makino's understanding of her, she might not be that unhappy.
Even though Shirō Makino had just killed a few God-rank powerhouses, it was nothing to the Great Grandaunt.
If it wasn't for her status, she might have already made a move.
When Shirō Makino came out, Bai Muxun was chatting with Lin Zijin outside.
Seeing him come out, Bai Muxun immediately walked over and said enthusiastically, "I've asked someone to prepare a place tonight. How about we go and have a drink?"
Shirō Makino looked at him and said, "Tomorrow is the day of the 32 to 16 competition."
"Yes, I know. It's a booster wine! Hahaha! " Bai Muxun looked completely indifferent as he looked at Shirō Makino. "Anyway, it's not like there's any pressure for you."
Would a Talisman Artist who could instantly kill a Quasi-emperor and three or four God-rank powerhouses feel any pressure when facing the young geniuses of the Protoss?
"I don't, but you do!" Shirō Makino said as he held Lin Zijin's hand and looked at Bai Muxun. "Let me give you a piece of advice. If you find anything wrong in the next competition, immediately admit defeat. I'll be in the finals. Save some strength for the big battle royale. "
This time, Bai Muxun did not say anything about the reputation of the Bai Family. There was really no need to say anything in front of this person.
This was because his grandfather's reputation as the head of the family was won back by this person.
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, if you can't beat them, just admit defeat. The higher-ups have also given a strict order not to let us die, "Bai Muxun said.
"That's good." Shirō Makino nodded and left with Lin Zijin.
What happened in the backyard of the Bai Family's residence did not spread, but within the Bai Family, it had already spread.
Therefore, when Shirō Makino left the Bai Family's residence, many people looked at him with fear in their eyes. Some even … hid a deep hatred.
How could the group of elders not have a group of fans after so many years?
Therefore, even though those old fellows had died, it was still a lot of work for Bai Rui and his team to completely eliminate the poison left behind by that group of people.
As the two walked outside, Lin Zijin leaned against Shirō Makino. "How did this happen?"
"What are you talking about? Me killing people? "Shirō Makino hugged her slender and soft waist. The two of them walked as if they were taking a stroll.
"No, those people deserved to die," Lin Zijin said softly. "But I don't understand why they were so stupid."
"They have been big shots for too long. They have ignored or even ignored the thoughts and demands of others, even their emotions. They only live in their own world, "Shirō Makino said calmly.
"Brother."
"Hmm?"
"Tell me …"
"No need."
"But you …"
"It's not the same. I was just doing it out of convenience. Otherwise, do you really think I would kill people over a list of names? I'm not his killer. "
Twenty minutes later.
In an especially old restaurant, there were only three people, Shirō Makino, Lin Zijin, and Bai Chuyue.
Xiao Bai realized that the old people living here all liked old restaurants like this.
Lin Caixia of the Lin Family was like this, and Bai Chuyue, the empress … was the same.
"Zijin, Xiao Bai did the right thing. But you are different. The Lin Family did not treat you as badly as the Bai Family. They should deal with the royal family's affairs themselves. "Bai Chuyue raised her wine glass and clinked it with Lin Zijin's, then drained it in one gulp.
Lin Zijin nodded and grunted in agreement.
She would definitely listen to her brother. She was just a little envious that her brother had a fight today, but she did not.
Bai Chuyue's beautiful eyes swept over Shirō Makino's face as she asked with a faint smile, "You guessed that I wouldn't stop you?"
Shirō Makino nodded without hesitation. "Of course."
"Tell me the reason." Bai Chuyue looked like a young girl, but she put on a serious face.
"What's there to say? It's just like the cancer that has plagued human ancestors for many years. When there's a tumor on the body, it naturally has to be removed. It doesn't matter how many organs are removed, but if it's left unchecked, it will only lead to death. "
Shirō Makino looked at Bai Chuyue. "The Bai Family is like the human ancestors who have tumors on their bodies, and there's more than one. If we don't remove them … are we just waiting for death?"
"Well said." Bai Chuyue nodded in satisfaction. "I can't bear to do it. I didn't expect you to be so pretty. When you do it, you're really decisive."
"It's not that you can't bear to do it, it's that they don't dare to provoke you. In front of you, all of them are as obedient as grandsons," Shirō Makino complained.
Bai Chuyue rolled her eyes, but didn't refute.
If the Bai Family were to see this scene, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
How dare he speak to the Empress so casually?
He really was that casual.
"Didn't you go to recuperate? Why did you come out again? "Shirō Makino looked at Bai Chuyue strangely.
Bai Chuyue waved her hand. "It's because I'm worried about you, kid. I placed a strand of divine sense on you. If you're in danger, I'll be able to sense it. I originally thought that the person who threatened you was the Protoss, but I didn't expect it to be in Zhuque Avenue. That's why I'm so angry! "
Shirō Makino's heart warmed. "Thank you, Elder Ancestor."
"Alright, don't thank me. Fight your matches well and become the champion. Then, in that battle royale, kill all your opponents. By then, even if you haven't become a god, you won't be far from it. Who knows, it might not be long before I need you to protect me! "
Bai Chuyue said with a smile.
Shirō Makino nodded. "If that day really comes, I'll definitely slap anyone who dares to bully you to death!"
Bai Chuyue was very happy, and her eyes curved into crescents.
What happened in the Bai Family was like an earth-shattering earthquake to the top circle of the empire.
But to most people, they didn't feel anything.
The Lin Family still felt something.
The Lin Family, who had participated in the rebellion of the kings, suddenly felt uneasy after knowing the list of dead members of the Bai Family.
They originally thought that the Bai Family was having internal strife, but after the old man in the old flying car appeared at the Bai Family's residence and publicly announced the Empress's oral order, everything changed!
Reckoning!
After the young Empress ascended to the throne, even under the immense pressure of the Protoss, she still began to reckon with the Empress!
Although everyone had thought that this would happen sooner or later, they didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Therefore, even though no one came to the Lin Family to announce the Empress's oral order, the more it was like this, the more uneasy the Lin Family felt.
Rebel?
Based on the people involved, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Run?
Although the world was vast, where else could they run to when their technological civilization had developed to the pinnacle?
Unless they ran to the other two great empires, or simply escaped from the three great empires.
Perhaps there was a way out.
The Empress had not made a move against the Lin Family, perhaps to give them a chance to leave on their own.
If they didn't know what was good for them and thought that the Empress would not touch them … then the Bai Family elders who had died were a warning!
Therefore, that night, several medium-sized aircraft left the atmosphere of the Imperial Star of Ziyun and entered outer space, flying towards the distant depths of the universe.
However, those aircraft didn't fly too far before they were intercepted by a large group of people.
Then, a fierce battle broke out in the Ziyun galaxy.
According to the observations of some astronomy enthusiasts, it was said that deep in the Ziyun galaxy, there seemed to be a small planet that had been shattered …
In any case, the Lin Family members who had participated in the rebellion of the various kings never appeared again.
The 30th day of the sixth month of the first year of the Heroic Era.
The fourth round of the battle between the humans and the Protoss, the elimination of 32 to 16, was about to begin.
This time, among the 32 teams, the humans occupied nine teams.
This ratio was already considered a significant increase from before.
Because the drawing of lots was completely random, before the competition began, no one knew who their opponent would be.
Li Peiqi led a group of people from the Arctic Palace and ran over to Shirō Makino's side to cheer for them before the competition began.
"The rest is up to you guys. Anyway, our mission has been completed, and we can relax now," Li Peiqi said with a smile.
Liu had also come over to cheer for Shirō Makino and said to Li Peiqi, "You guys can't relax much either. Don't forget that after all the competitions are over, there will be a big battle between the humans and the Protoss Alliance Army!"
"You can rest assured about this. When that time comes, I guarantee that at least a group of high-level martial grandmasters will appear in front of you!" Li Peiqi was very confident about this.
Liu looked at her, a little speechless. "You are already at your peak now, right? Can't you work hard to reach god-level? "
Li Peiqi rolled her eyes and laughed coldly. "I can't discuss with an ordinary little grandmaster like you."
Liu was instantly depressed, as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
Thinking back to two years ago, thinking back to now, he, who had always been firm in his beliefs, sometimes couldn't help but wonder if his choice back then was really correct.
Ji Chae Yi sat on the chair in the resting room, next to Li Peiqi. Her two long legs were stretched out, but looking at it, they were slightly shorter than Li Peiqi's.
She was 1.72 meters tall, while Li Peiqi was at least 1.75 meters!
Thus, he quietly retracted his leg that he had stretched out.
Li Peiqi glanced at him from the corner of her eye and secretly laughed in her heart without batting an eyelid.
At that moment, the announcement that the competition was about to begin spread out.
The bunch of them stood up and walked down the stage.
"Chae Yi!" Li Peiqi called out to Ji Chae Yi.
Ji Chae Yi turned around and looked at her.
"Don't hurt her," Li Peiqi said.
Chae Yi smiled and nodded. She looked at her and Liu before turning around and following behind Xiao Bai, entering the battlefield boundary.
Liu stood beside Li Peiqi and looked in the direction that Chae Yi disappeared in. He sighed.
"I feel like she sensed something." Li Peiqi said softly.
Liu's lips twitched and he was a little speechless. "You make it sound like there is something between the two of us. I think we should keep our distance and just be friends."
Li Peiqi looked at Liu. "You are afraid of her?"
Liu looked in the direction that Chae Yi disappeared in. "I am not afraid."
He turned around and looked at Li Peiqi. "It is love."
