It was time to use that classic movie line.
Not only did you insult my character, but you also insulted my intelligence.
Ying Wuque was trembling. His face was red, and he felt like his chest was about to explode.
This was too humiliating!
From the beginning, the Ying Clan and Stupa Mountain had been toyed with by Shen Lang.
What was even more humiliating was that Shen Lang had told them the truth from the beginning. He had come to steal the Regret of the Dragon. Shen Lang had already told him his intentions, and he had already made all the necessary preparations. In the end, Shen Lang still succeeded. What was even funnier was that the Ying family had actually delivered the two Regret of the Dragon to him.
Did you, Shen Lang, think of everyone as fools?
You had planned everything from the beginning. You had calculated everything from the beginning.
Ying Wuque clenched his fists, his heart was filled with an intense impulse. With a ferocious slap, he directly smashed Shen Lang's handsome yet repulsive face into pieces. Or he could just pull out a knife and castrate him.
Shen Lang said, "Ying Wuque, how about this? You take me as a hostage to exchange for the Regret of the Dragon? I am the ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty. They will definitely be willing. "
"Shut up! Shut up!" Ying Wuque roared angrily.
At this moment, his mind was in a mess. He felt that every word Shen Lang said was a trap. He felt that there could be an ambush everywhere.
"Bam!" He suddenly slapped his palm over.
Suddenly, Shen Lang's vision turned black, and he fainted again.
"Go, go now!" Ying Wuque roared.
He felt that if he didn't leave now, Shen Lang's men would appear. Or perhaps the Great Yan Empire's men would appear.
He was extremely furious, and he wanted nothing more than to dismember Shen Lang into a thousand pieces. However, the last shred of reason he had told him that this matter had already exceeded his authority. He had to bring Shen Lang back immediately. Only his father, Ying Guang, and the Stupa Mountain Chieftain had the final say.
In reality, his intuition was correct. Soon, a dozen condors appeared in the sea. Leading them was Ji Wushuang from the Punishing Heavens Pavilion. Each of them wore independent ancient armor.
They quickly discovered the Stupa Mountain fleet, but did not attack. Although the fleet was small, it was still very powerful. If they attacked rashly, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
Moments after the Stupa Mountain fleet left, a few figures appeared on the sea.
It was Qiu Yao'er and a few Special Warriors. Their ambush location was close enough, and they had appeared quickly enough.
However, there was only a split second to save Shen Lang. In fact, there was not even a split second of opportunity. This was because Ying Wuque and the Stupa Mountain Elder were still holding Shen Lang hostage. More than ten Grandmaster level experts were wearing ancient equipment and were constantly surrounding Shen Lang.
Of course, Chou Yao'er and the others could take the risk and attack to save Shen Lang. But once Ying Wuque felt that he was about to lose control of Shen Lang, he would kill him.
Qiu Yao 'er did not dare to take the risk, and no one else did. Furthermore, their appearance here was not part of Shen Lang's plan. It was Hila who had forcefully interfered with the plan, sneaking into the sea and trying to save Shen Lang.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …" Hila roared. She destroyed the island with all her might, punching the hard stone walls again and again.
Princess Dora said, "Our appearance here was not part of His Majesty's plan. We should believe that he has the intelligence to escape."
Hila said, "Shen Lang stole two Regret of the Dragon in broad daylight. The Stupa Mountain and the Ying family will feel humiliated and will definitely torture him."
Princess Dora said, "I still say the same thing. We should believe in His Majesty. Since he has a plan to steal the Regret of the Dragon, he also has a plan to escape. In fact, in his plan, we should be protecting the Regret of the Dragon we just obtained in the Raging Tide City and secretly moving it. Our actions are taking a risk. "
Hila looked at Dora angrily. She wanted to scold her, but she did not say anything in the end. She really wanted to rush over and use force to save him, but she held back in the end.
They did not have enough top-tier martial artists on their side. They only had Qiu Yao 'er. On the Stupa Mountain's side, there were dozens of Special Warriors and more than a dozen Grandmasters in Ancient Armor. If they acted rashly, not only would they not be able to save Shen Lang, they might even ruin Shen Lang's next plan.
"Let's go back," Qiu Yao 'er said.
Hila looked in the direction the Stupa Mountain's fleet disappeared and stomped her foot.
Princess Dora was right. They needed to return to the Raging Tide City as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would give the enemy a chance.
… …
Flame Capital City!
The Crown Prince's condition was for Ying Guang to use the Regret of the Dragon to destroy the Raging Tide City before holding a meeting. But after Ying Wuming agreed, the meeting was held as scheduled.
This meeting was too important. It was the first time in decades that the White Jade Capital had sent someone to participate. It was not something the Crown Prince could postpone just because he wanted to.
Ying Wuming had his wish fulfilled. He represented the Stupa Mountain at this meeting.
Even though the Sky-sea Pavilion had completely withdrawn from the State of Yue and staked everything on developing the Great Desert, Pavilion Master Zuoci was the one who personally attended this meeting.
The mysterious Xuankong Temple's abbot was also there.
The White Jade Capital's representative was a snow-white woman. Her face could not be seen, but she wore a snow-white mask.
This was the most important meeting for the transcendental forces in the past thirty years.
But the entire process was behind closed doors. No one knew what was discussed.
Even the outside world did not care about the topic of this meeting. Something else was more important in their minds.
Ying Wuming's appearance officially represented the union between Stupa Mountain and the New Qian Kingdom. It also represented that they were officially moving toward independence and breaking away from the Great Yan Emperor's control over the eastern world order. Of course, it also meant that a huge crack had appeared in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Even though Ying Wuming had publicly declared on numerous occasions that the New Qian Kingdom was absolutely loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty and was willing to go through fire and water for the Emperor, everyone knew that the two sides were gradually drifting apart.
At least in this crucial political battle, Ying Guang and the Stupa Mountain Lord had succeeded.
… …
Ying Guang in Qian Capital.
This was a crucial moment for him. To him, the most important thing was the meeting of the Transcendent Forces.
Once the Crown Prince, Ying Wuming, successfully attended, it would represent the Great Yan Empire's compromise. Then, the world would see the Emperor's weakness. At that time, all the countries and forces in the world would be shaken.
Therefore, Ying Guang could not leave Qian Capital. He quietly waited for the results of the meeting.
In a certain basement of the New Qian Palace, Ying Guang was secretly meeting with someone. No one would have thought that it was the Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom, the Supreme Commander of the Great Yan Dynasty's Western Army.
Wasn't he already dead? When the comet crashed into this world, the meteor shower exploded. It was difficult to survive within a hundred miles. Even if they didn't die from the explosion, they might have died from the poisonous gas.
He didn't die. He was saved by Ying Guang and the people sent by the Stupa Mountain Lord. When he was rescued, he was already covered in wounds and on the verge of death.
Even though he was saved, his vision was fatally damaged. His throat felt as if it had been burned by fire, and his voice was hoarse.
"Your Highness, do you feel better?" Ying Guang asked.
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince remained silent.
Ying Guang said, "Your Highness, you're a smart man. Don't you see it clearly? Right now, Shenlang isn't the Emperor's biggest enemy. Our Qian Kingdom and Jin Kingdom are. "
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince said hoarsely, "Our Jin Kingdom isn't, but the New Qian Kingdom and Stupa Mountain are."
Ying Guang said, "Then why did His Majesty choose the Jin Kingdom to sacrifice first? "He clearly knew that there would be a meteor shower, so why did he send your 600,000 troops to their deaths and hurt your Jin Kingdom?"
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince sneered and said, "Ying Guang, you also knew that there would be a meteor shower in the west of Dingyuan City. Didn't you also sit back and watch us get destroyed?"
Ying Guang said calmly, "I don't have the obligation to protect Jin Kingdom, but His Majesty does. He treats you like grass. Isn't Jin Kingdom disappointed?"
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince said, "King Ying, I know what you want. However, don't think about it. It's impossible for you to succeed. His Majesty is too powerful. Even Jiang Li lost, let alone you. "
"I admit it!" Ying Guang said, "Jiang Li's martial arts are invincible. His research on the ancient civilization is also invincible. His research on the ancient bloodlines is also unparalleled. "However, his wisdom hasn't been converted into results, right? "His strategy is extremely far-sighted. He has the Heavenly Army, the ancient fleet, the ancient bloodline army, the golden bloodline, and the strategic army. "However, these powerful forces have just sprouted, and he has already died. These results have benefited others."
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince fell silent.
Ying Guang said, "In terms of martial arts, no one can compare to him. However, in terms of ancient equipment and military strength, who do you think is stronger? Is it Jiang Li's army from 27 years ago? Or is it the New Qian Kingdom and Stupa Mountain now? "
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince tacitly agreed. His Majesty Jiang Li was too focused on strategy. Hence, the current Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang's combined forces had indeed surpassed the Great Qian Empire in the past.
Jiang Li's fall was enough for the world to eat. The Jin Kingdom's plans were now bearing fruit, benefiting the Great Yan Empire and the few transcendent forces.
Ying Guang continued, "His Majesty is almost 80 years old. How many more years can he live? The Crown Prince is wise, but can he compare to the Emperor? Moreover, I can say that I don't intend to start a war during the years that the Emperor is on the throne. When the Emperor dies and the Crown Prince succeeds, do you think anyone can stop us? "
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince shook his head and said, "No, the Emperor is too powerful. He won't let you do as you wish. Ying Wuming wants to attend the meeting of the transcendent forces. You want to be independent? That's just a pipe dream."
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.
"Your Majesty, there's news from the Flame Capital."
Ying Guang was delighted and said, "Speak!"
"The meeting of the transcendent forces has officially begun. Our Crown Prince has successfully attended the meeting on behalf of Stupa Mountain. The Great Yan Empire has compromised."
Ying Guang's heart was pounding. Even his hands were trembling. This day had finally come.
In the face of Regretful Dragon's strategic deterrence and the combined strength of Stupa Mountain and the New Qian Kingdom, the Great Yan Empire had no choice but to compromise. To think that the arrogant Great Yan Empire would have such a day.
The Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince trembled when he heard the news outside. He couldn't believe it. In his heart, the Great Yan Emperor was mysterious and powerful. Even though the Jin Kingdom's army had been sacrificed, he didn't dare to have any thoughts of betrayal.
However, the Emperor had compromised just like that? This wasn't just a meeting of the transcendent forces. This represented the division of the Great Yan Empire. This would make everyone feel that the empire was weak and waver.
At this moment, the Jin Kingdom's Crown Prince felt as though his legend had been shattered.
Ying Guang smiled reservedly and said, "Your Highness, I, Ying Guang, am in a mess right now. Let's not talk anymore. Please take care of yourself. I'll come and see you in a few days."
Then, Ying Guang left.
Ying Wuming represented Stupa Mountain to attend the transcendent forces' meeting. This was like another nuclear bomb that blew up the world.
All the kingdoms were shaken. They looked at the Flame Capital in disbelief.
This piece of news was even more shocking than the Battle of Dingyuan City.
The Emperor had compromised? The powerful and invincible Emperor had compromised? Could it be that he was really old and weak?
Following that, countless secret envoys went to Ying Guang's palace to have a secret talk with him.
Of course, these secret talks wouldn't yield any results. They wouldn't sign any contracts or leave any evidence. They were just trying to get in touch with him. However, it was still very important. This meant that the direction of the world had changed slightly.
Hence, Ying Guang would be very busy. He had to meet with various secret envoys. Moreover, they were the kind of envoys who wouldn't reveal their identities.
"Your Majesty, they're here. There are dozens of them. They're waiting for you."
Ying Guang asked, "Are there any familiar faces?"
"No familiar faces. The Great Yan Empire is too powerful. The Emperor's invincible aura is still around. The other kingdoms don't dare to make any moves."
Ying Guang said, "There's no hurry. Let them wait."
Next, he opened the secret room and turned the Nightmare Stone's password. He opened layers of mechanisms and finally revealed the dragon egg.
Is that familiar feeling coming again?
For some reason, every time he came into contact with the dragon egg, Ying Guang would have a very strange feeling. It was as though he had mastered some kind of extremely mysterious power. His entire body would enter a strange state. This feeling was even a little addictive.
Hence, whenever he was free, he would play with the dragon egg.
He had tried his best and flipped through countless ancient books. However, he still couldn't find a way to incubate the dragon egg. He didn't even have a clue.
Ying Guang placed his forehead on the dragon egg and said slowly, "When you hatch, it'll be the time for me to rule the world."
… …
In the following period of time, Ying Guang was extremely busy. He met with various secret envoys. However, whenever he had free time, he would be with the dragon egg.
This was probably similar to how a mother would communicate with a baby even when it was still in the womb.
Ying Guang felt that this was the only way the dragon inside would recognize him as its master when it hatched.
This period of time was completely his peak. He had truly become a chess player.
Speaking of which, it was really fate. When Jiang Li died, he became the Emperor of the Xin Qian Empire. It could be said that he had risen by stepping on Jiang Li's corpse. Now, he had risen by stepping on the corpse of Jiang Li's son.
Of course, Shen Lang wasn't dead yet. However, the dignified Emperor of the Great Qian Empire had been reduced to a prisoner. He was like an animal without any free will. How was this different from being dead?
Therefore, Jiang Li and his son were the benefactors of the Ying Family.
Ying Guang sighed softly and said, "Brother, if you weren't dead, I really wouldn't have betrayed you. If one doesn't force himself, he really won't know how much potential he has. After you died, I finally found my true self. "
At this moment, there was a flurry of hurried footsteps outside.
Jiang Li's temples twitched because the footsteps were not good. It seemed to be a little flustered. Could it be bad news?
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The second prince failed to launch the Regret of the Dragon to destroy the Raging Tide City. He fell into Shen Lang's trap. Both of the Regret of the Dragon arrows were shot towards the Raging Tide City, but they didn't explode. Shen Lang stole them in broad daylight."
Instantly, Ying Guang was completely stunned.
When he heard the results of the Battle of Ding Yuan City in Yan Capital, Ying Guang's shock was fake. However, this time, he was really stunned.
Shen Lang said that he wanted to steal the Regret of the Dragon. He actually … actually did it?
And he did it in such a way?
His intelligence was really close to that of a demon!
"Where's Shen Lang? Did he escape? "Ying Guang asked directly.
"He didn't escape. The second prince decisively knocked out Shen Lang and left at full speed. Very soon, the people from the Hall of Retribution arrived."
Ying Guang said, "Good job, Wuque. Good job."
As long as Shen Lang didn't escape, it would be useless even if the Raging Tide City obtained the Regret of the Dragon. They couldn't fire it or activate it.
"Prepare the snow eagle," Ying Guang ordered.
"Yes!"
Next, Ying Guang hid the dragon egg in the safest and most secretive place. Then, he rode the snow eagle in a certain direction.
Shen Lang, you're really something. Now, I can meet you.
… …
When Shen Lang woke up again, he was already in the underground city. Moreover, he was in the huge tomb, the place where the Princess of Stupa Mountain had met him.
Previously, it had been pitch-black. This time, countless candles were lit, causing the entire tomb to be as bright as day.
When Shen Lang opened his eyes, he didn't know how to react.
"Too bright, too bright …" Shen Lang covered his eyes and said, "My eyes, my weak and watery eyes."
However, no one seemed to appreciate his pretentiousness.
In front of him stood three people: Ying Guang, the Stupa Mountain Master, and Ying Wuque.
"Clap, clap, clap …" The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Shen Lang, should I applaud you? What an amazing plan. You've actually stolen two of our Dragon's Regrets in broad daylight. "
Shen Lang cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, excuse me. It's all thanks to the kindness of my friends."
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Since you're so smart, why didn't you escape after stealing two Regret of the Dragon?"
Shen Lang sighed. "Nine out of ten people don't have a good life. Just stealing two Regret of the Dragon exhausted all of my intelligence. Moreover, this world is like this. Seventy percent fate, and thirty percent hard work. Brother Wuque, the Stupa Mountain Elder, and the dozen or so Grandmasters surrounded me at all times. Even if my people wanted to save me, they didn't have the chance. What if they accidentally killed me? Even if they didn't kill me, I wouldn't be able to take a cut on my body. "
The Stupa Mountain Master said indifferently, "Shen Lang, do you know that you humiliated us?"
Shen Lang: "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Can you tell me what you want?"
Shen Lang: "What I want is very simple. I can't beat you, but I want to protect Raging Tide City. Therefore, I need the Regret of the Dragon, at least to give me a strategic deterrent. And these two Regret of the Dragon will not be fired. "
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "But I want to take back these two Regret of the Dragon. What do you think we should do?"
Shen Lang trembled. "Could it be that you want to threaten me? If I don't hand over these two Regret of the Dragon, you will castrate me? "
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Something like that."
Shen Lang: "Don't, please don't. Sect Leader Ren, you only lost two Regret of the Dragon. You still have a lot left. Moreover, I am still in your hands. As long as I don't return, those two Regret of the Dragon will not be fired. Why are you so calculative? "
Ying Wuque said coldly, "Sect Leader, Father, there is only one way to deal with people like Shen Lang. Don't give him any chance to speak. Just take action."
Shen Lang Youyou: "I didn't say anything when I stole the two Regret of the Dragon. It was all your cooperation."
Hearing this, the faces of the three people present twitched. Shen Lang, are you tired of living? Not only do you want to tear open our wounds, but you also want to pour salt on it? Have you always liked to court death so much?
Ying Wuque said, "This person is too delicate and has never been tortured. That's why he is so fearless. My plan is very simple. Chop off one of his fingers and send it to the Furious Tide City to force them to return the Regret of the Dragon. If they don't agree, I will keep chopping it off until all ten of his fingers are chopped off. Finally, I will castrate him. Those people from the Furious Tide City regard him as the Son of Heaven. Not to mention the Regret of the Dragon, they won't even hesitate to take their lives. It is precisely because we have been too gentle with Shen Lang that the Furious Tide City is so arrogant. So let's not talk anymore. Chop off one of his fingers first and send it to the Furious Tide City. This is also a form of deterrence. "
Shen Lang trembled and immediately clenched his fists, as if his fingers wouldn't be chopped off by doing so.
"Father, Sect Leader Ren, listen to me this once. It is the most direct way to deal with people like Shen Lang," Ying Wuming said sternly.
Shen Lang said, "No, if any of you dare to harm a single hair on my head, then my people will not hesitate to drop a Black Annihilation Bomb on you. In their hearts, even the lives of a million people are inferior to a single finger of mine."
Ying Wuque said coldly, "I don't believe you. The people of the New Qian Kingdom are also your people to a certain extent. They used to be people of the Great Qian Empire. Are you going to slaughter them? Moreover, once the Black Death spreads, countless people will die in the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms. Are you willing to do that? "
Shen Lang said, "I'm not willing, but … Qiu Yao'er and Hila are willing. In their hearts, there is only me and no one else."
Ying Wuque said, "Is that so? Then we want to try. "
With that, Ying Wuming pulled out his dagger and walked toward Shen Lang.
Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain Master remained silent as if they didn't want to stop him.
Shen Lang said, "Sect Leader Ren, how about we make a deal? Didn't I steal two of your Regret of the Dragon? I will return ten of them to you within half a month. Not only that, I will also cure your daughter so that she can return to normal and return to the surface. How about that? I am willing to make a military pledge. If I can't do it, not only can you cut off one of my fingers, you can also chop off my entire left hand. "
As soon as he said this, Stupa Mountain Master's face trembled slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
Behind the tomb, there was also a surge of energy. It was the Princess of Stupa Mountain.
Ying Wuque said, "Sect Leader Ren, you mustn't agree. Don't give Shen Lang any chance. He is too cunning, just like a ghost. As long as you give him a chance, you will fall into his trap. You mustn't agree."
Stupa Mountain Master still did not respond.
Shen Lang said, "Half a month, ten Regret of the Dragon, and curing your daughter. Isn't this deal worth it? I will definitely do what I say. "
Ying Wuque shouted, "Sect Leader Ren, you are blinded by greed. You mustn't give Shen Lang any chance to take advantage of you."
As soon as these words came out, Stupa Mountain Master's face twitched again. Following that, he remained silent and didn't say a single word, as though he was tacitly agreeing to everything before him.
Clearly, be it him or Ying Guang, they both wanted to teach Shen Lang a bloody lesson so that he wouldn't be so unbridled.
Ying Wuque laughed sinisterly and said, "Shen Lang, no one will answer your cries now. Next, I will slowly cut it. The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it will be very, very painful. You must endure it.
"Shen Lang, you are the most exquisite person. You must have never suffered such pain before, right? Furthermore, after this finger is cut off, we will send it to the Fury Tide City. Therefore, you will never have the chance to reattach it. Your incomparably handsome body will be completely crippled.
"Next, you can scream and wail in pain. This is the sound of nature to us."
Ying Wuque came in front of Shen Lang and placed the dagger in front of him, allowing Shen Lang to fully feel the sharpness of the dagger. He wanted to see Shen Lang's fear and trembling, and he wanted to hear him wail and beg for mercy.
However, Shen Lang quietened down and placed his hand on the table without saying a word.
"Cut it. Not to mention one finger, even if it's ten fingers, I will let you cut them off." All the excitement and exaggeration on Shen Lang's face disappeared completely. He said coldly, "As long as you can bear the price."
Ying Wuque sneered and said, "Are you threatening us? Isn't it just a Black Death Annihilation Bomb? We don't believe that you dare to throw it, so we want to give it a try. "
With that, Ying Wuque placed the dagger on the pinky of Shen Lang's right hand and said slowly, "Say goodbye to your pinky."
Shen Lang said, "Not only am I Jiang Li's son, but I am also the son of the White Jade Capital's princess. I am the grandson of the ruler of the White Jade Capital. Do you really want to cut off my finger?"
Ying Wuque sneered and said, "Who would believe that? Your mother's background is unknown, so who knows her identity? If she is really the princess of the White Jade Capital, where was the White Jade Capital when Jiang Li died? Your mother died after giving birth to you, so where is the White Jade Capital? You suffered all kinds of hardships, and you were pursued by the Great Yan Empire when your identity was exposed. Where are the people of the White Jade Capital? If I remember correctly, they sent a ship to participate in the pursuit. The White Jade Capital doesn't care whether you live or die. Stop dreaming. "
Shen Lang said, "The White Jade Capital is in the east, and the White Capital is in the west. Both of them are one, but they are also independent of each other. However, it doesn't matter, and I won't explain. If you can bear the price, then cut it off. "
"Sure, then scream." Ying Wuque's dagger suddenly cut down.
"Wait!" Shen Lang shouted, "Sect Leader Ren, don't you want to give yourself a chance? If I'm not wrong, the White Jade Capital's envoy will be here soon. Do you really want to go down this path? Do you really want to completely offend the White Jade Capital? The White Jade Capital's envoy will be here soon. I hope that you don't do anything that you will regret. When that time comes, there will be no medicine for regret! "
Stupa Mountain Master closed his eyes and did not speak or express his opinion.
Ying Wuque shouted, "Sect Leader Ren, don't believe him. Don't give him a chance. Cut off his finger first."
Stupa Mountain Master remained silent.
At this moment, Princess Stupa Mountain said, "It has been a few days since the transcendental forces' meeting. If the White Jade Capital's envoy is coming, it will be within a few hours. Shen Lang, I will give you four hours. If the White Jade Capital's envoy comes for you, then you can keep your finger. Otherwise … "
Shen Lang, "Four hours?"
He quickly calculated in his mind and smiled. "Alright, four hours it is. Let's wait together. Perhaps we don't even need two hours."
… …
Note: Master Lang still has a big plan, and it will be even more fun! Brothers, please give me your monthly votes.
