"This kind of thing, how would Wuchen dare to deceive His Majesty. Another terrifying thing about this soul-perishing cold poison is that it can not only be transmitted through blood, but also through sexual intercourse between men and women. However, the infection period is slightly short, only seven days before the poison takes effect. Just now, I accidentally saw His Majesty's eyes turning slightly black, I was bewildered … So, it was really like this. Originally, I was still wondering why they would poison the Empress, so … Their goal was His Majesty. "Ye Wuchen said, each word was extremely heavy, like a huge stone pounding on their hearts.
After Ye Wuchen entered the door, his ability to make Medicine Immortal concede defeat made everyone not dare to doubt his words. Moreover, in everyone's opinion, if there was no absolute certainty. He simply had no reason to say such a thing. Because if it was false, causing such a huge panic would not be a small sin. Even the Lin family did not have any doubts … Who would dare to joke about this kind of thing. Would this extremely intelligent son of the Yeh family? Dare?
The corner of Long Yin's mouth kept twitching, obviously already extremely angry, he sternly said: "Quickly tell me, who in the world has such a strong poison?"
Ye Wuchen looked at Shui Nanhe, who had a strange expression, and said in a low voice: "My master said, this extreme Yin and extreme cold poison naturally comes from the extreme Yin and extreme cold place of Tian Chen continent, which is the extreme north of Cang Lan country. That place is desolate and uninhabited, no one knows who did it. However, how many people in the world can obtain this kind of poison from there, quietly sneak into the palace to plant it on the Empress under the heavy protection of the palace, and ignore the strict security of the palace? And among these people, how many have enmity with His Majesty or Tenryū Province? Although Wuchen does not know, but His Majesty should be able to guess. As for who it is, Wuchen knows very little, so I dare not say for sure. "
Ye Wuchen bowed and walked out. On this occasion, there was indeed no need for him to stay.
Guess … Even if you don't completely believe my words, sooner or later you will suspect Northern Emperor Sect. Then, you have fallen into the first trap.
"Wait!" Long Yin stopped him again.
Ye Wuchen stopped and turned around, asking, "Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"
"I need you to do something, something that concerns my safety and the safety of the Tianlong Empire," Long Yin said solemnly. "That's right. These powerful words immediately caused the surrounding air to become oppressive. Everyone's eyes widened. They didn't know what Long Yin was going to say with such a tone.
Just as he expected, the second trap was already in place. Ye Wuchen sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he put on a solemn expression and asked in surprise, "What is it? If it is within Wuchen's capabilities, I will naturally comply. "
Long Yin said, "We want you to make a trip to the Volcano of Annihilation in the south and bring back the Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Fruit for us. If there is only one person who can reach the heart of the Volcano of Annihilation, it is you, Ye Wuchen! "
Long Zheng Yang was shocked and stepped forward, saying, "Father, your safety is more important than the heavens, but …"
"You don't need to say anymore," Long Yin waved his hand and said, "We naturally won't send him to his death for nothing. That day, Wuchen was unharmed by Lin Yan's strongest flame, and so many people saw it. We have privately asked if there was anything fishy about this. General Ye did not hide anything, and said that the Sword God had given Wuchen a godly item that made him impervious to fire and water for 3 months. Wuchen, is this true? "
"Yes …" Ye Wuchen replied.
"Then, are you afraid of the Volcano of Annihilation?"
"I shouldn't be afraid."
"Very good, as you said, this poison will only take effect after 2 months, and I have only been poisoned for less than a week, so there are still about 2 months left before the poison will take effect. These 2 months should be enough for you to go back and forth from the Volcano of Annihilation. Are you willing to go there for me? "
"…" Ye Wuchen did not reply, and a troubled expression appeared on his face.
Back then, the news of Ye Wuchen remaining as calm as a breeze in the flames of Lin Yan had long since spread, and had become a legend. At this moment, everyone present finally understood the 'truth', and saw the last hope of saving the Emperor. Everyone turned to look at Ye Wuchen.
"Ai, We know that this request is a bit too much. Although you are not afraid of the Volcano of Annihilation, you will definitely encounter some unknown dangers along the way. It is rumoured that there is an Extreme Flame Heavenly Dragon sleeping in the Volcano of Annihilation, and that the Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Fruit is its food. Although it is only a rumour, and no one has ever seen it before, if the rumour is true, there is a high chance that it will be disturbed, and the consequences will be dire. If you agree, We will ask Old Li to go with you, and ensure your safety. If you don't agree … ai, as the successor of the Sword God, even if you don't follow the Emperor's orders, no one has the right to blame you. We will use these last 2 months to make arrangements for your funeral. "Long Yin said solemnly, without any joy or sorrow on his face, as if he did not care about his life or death.
Long Zheng Yang's expression continuously changed. If Long Yin died, he would be sad for a while, but he would be more happy afterwards. He did not care about the throne, and was even slightly against it. However, if Long Yin died, he would have one less obstacle in his pursuit of Shui Mengchan. Moreover, the relationship between him and Long Yin had become very faint over the years. In front of this indifferent familial love, his selfishness had the upper hand. He said to Ye Wuchen, "Brother Ye, although you have a godly item to protect you and are not afraid of fire and water, going to the Heavenly Destruction Volcano will still put your life in danger. You've only just returned home, and if you take on such a dangerous task, it will indeed put you in a difficult position. However, my father's safety concerns the safety of the entire Tenryū Province … ai, I hope that brother Ye will reconsider. "
Imperial Physician Li, who had not dared to speak this entire time, also came up and said, "Ye Gongzi, this old subject shamelessly asks you, for the sake of the Emperor, for the sake of the Tenryū Province, please … please agree to the Emperor's request. In order to protect the Tenryū Province, the Sword God once unleashed a heaven-shaking sword strike. If the Sword God was here, he would definitely hope that you would be willing to take such a risk for the Emperor … "
"The Yeh family has been loyal for generations, and the heavens and earth can bear witness. Ye Gongzi will definitely agree … if he doesn't agree, this old subject will kneel and die in front of you." Another white-haired Imperial Physician said emotionally.
With the two of them taking the lead, how could any of the other Imperial Physicians who were present be willing to fall behind? They all came forward to plead, as if they would collectively kneel and die if Ye Gongzi did not agree. Ye Wuchen did not utter a single word. The expression on his face kept changing slightly, as if he was having an intense struggle in his heart.
Lin Kuang, who was standing at the back, gave Lin Zhan a look. Lin Zhan immediately understood and nodded his head slightly. In a clear voice, he said, "All of you, in order to protect the Emperor, you did not hesitate to bow down to a junior. I, Lin Zhan, admire your noble character and unquestionable integrity. However, there is no need for all of you to plead with him. This child had just boasted that the Yeh family was unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, but now, for the sake of his own safety, he has completely disregarded the safety of the Emperor and the Tenryū Province. His crime of disobeying orders is secondary. This kind of moral integrity is despicable, and I can't help but feel indignant! "
Ye Wuchen suddenly glanced to the side. Lin Zhan, who was speaking in a loud voice, suddenly felt as if two ice-cold swords were pressed against his chest, and his voice came to a screeching halt. He only heard him say with a smile, "Lord Lin, I don't understand what you're saying. When have I, Ye Wuchen, ever said that I would refuse the Emperor?"
"So, you agree?" Long Yin asked.
Ye Wuchen calmly nodded his head and said, "Yes. Wuchen also has his own selfish motives, but the Emperor's safety is linked to the safety of the Tenryū Province. How can Wuchen's safety be compared to the safety of the Tenryū Province? Wuchen, of course, will agree. However … Wuchen hopes that Your Majesty can agree to a request of mine. Otherwise, even if Wuchen is spurned by tens of thousands of people, I, Wuchen, will still disobey orders this time! "
The last sentence was said resolutely and decisively, giving people the feeling that there was no room for leeway.
"Hahahaha, good … We really didn't misjudge you. We have been waiting for you to say these words for a long time. Don't worry, along the way, We will naturally have Old Li protect you. Because your life is now intertwined with my life. If something really happens to you, We won't have long to live. Whatever request you have, just say it. As long as it doesn't harm the country of the Tenryū Province, We will agree to anything. "
Ye Wuchen's agreement made Long Yin's mood visibly better. The dark clouds that had piled up on his face earlier also dispersed by a large half. Indeed, after Ye Wuchen agreed to go to Fire Sky Mountain, his life was linked to Long Yin's.
"How could Wuchen make an unreasonable request that would harm the country of the Tenryū Province? However, Wuchen is a member of the Yeh family and should first live for the Yeh family. However, someone has repeatedly insulted my Yeh family … "Ye Wuchen's gaze indifferently glanced at Lin Kuang and Lin Zhan a few times. That indifferent and sinister gaze made them feel apprehensive. Their instincts told them that something bad was about to happen. "Forgive Wuchen for taking this opportunity to make a selfish request … Wuchen wants the two of them …" Ye Wuchen pointed at Lin Kuang and Lin Zhan, "to kneel in front of me and apologize to the Yeh family!"
Lin Kuang and Lin Zhan's bodies trembled violently. Just as they were about to yell at him, they heard Ye Wuchen continue unhurriedly, "On this trip to Fire Sky Mountain, Wuchen is willing to disregard his own life for Your Majesty. I wonder if the two lords of the Lin family are willing to simply kneel in front of me, a junior, for Your Majesty? Wuchen said that if they don't kneel in front of me, even if I am reviled by tens of thousands of people, I will still disobey. This is the dignity of a man of my Yeh family. No one can insult my Yeh family! "
Lin Kuang and Lin Zhan immediately couldn't say a word. They regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. Just now, in order to force Ye Wuchen to agree, they had thought themselves clever and used a small method of provocation. However, they hadn't expected that they would be caught by Ye Wuchen and ruthlessly dealt such a hand. If they really knelt in front of a junior of the Yeh family, where would their Lin family's face go? If they didn't agree to it … Ye Wuchen had already blocked off all their escape routes if they didn't agree.
Ever since Ye Wuchen appeared after disappearing for a year, their Lin family had fallen into his hands time and time again. Furthermore, every time they insulted him or the Yeh family, not only did they not gain any advantage, they would receive a counterattack that was several times, or even dozens of times stronger. Furthermore, it was a counterattack that they had no way of defending against. There had never been an exception … When they thought of this, their hearts went cold. If they had to choose again, they would definitely keep their mouths shut and not say a single word to him. ^-^^-^
