As time moved forward, it was the time when Yan Li led the allied army to counterattack. The White Dragon Carriage once again set off from Dao Court, bringing generous betrothal gifts to Lotus Seat.
Because this marriage proposal was initiated by Lotus Seat, it was considered a marriage between Confucian orthodoxy and Confucian orthodoxy, it was not Emperor Han's personal affair, so there were hundreds of people who came to propose, forming a marriage proposal group. This marriage proposal group included two of the Seven Big Dipper Palace's heads, and sixteen high ranking elders.
Inside the White Dragon Carriage, Emperor Han did not have the slightest excitement of becoming a groom, he sat cross-legged on a praying mat woven from gold, like an old monk meditating, even his breathing did not change at all.
"Your heart is in a mess." Tang Tianfeng, who was sitting at the side, suddenly laughed, with a rare look of ridicule.
"How do you know?" Emperor Han immediately asked.
"I can tell from this' how do I know '." Tang Tianfeng laughed even more happily. Ever since he met Emperor Han, this was the first time he saw his true self.
Emperor Han was startled, but quickly reacted, he had to admit, it was as Tang Tianfeng said, his heart was in a mess. He opened his eyes and looked at Tang Tianfeng, "Do you think this is Mountain Master Xiao's will, or her own?"
Tang Tianfeng took off the wine gourd at his waist and brought it to his mouth, but after hearing this, he was startled, then smiled meaningfully. He felt that compared to the answer, the question itself was more thought-provoking, but he still answered, "If Mountain Master Xiao's will is really useful, why did you only succeed now?"
Emperor Han frowned, he did not like the word "succeed", as if he had used all means to get this woman, it was an insult to both him and her.
Tang Tianfeng felt that his choice of words was inappropriate, and quickly remedied, "You know what I mean, there is no will in this world that can force Lady Caiwei, she is a rainbow created by heaven and earth for this dark world, she is an unrestrained spirit, there is no cage in this world that can imprison her …"
"It must have been hard on you." Emperor Han's mouth twitched.
Tang Tianfeng wiped his sweat, "I have said all the words to flatter people in this life."
Emperor Han couldn't help but smile.
The marriage proposal group arrived as scheduled and received a grand reception from the Lotus Seat. Gu Caiwei was nowhere to be seen at the banquet, so the two Seats of Honor naturally inquired about him. Xiao Yuyan only said that Gu Caiwei was probably too shy to see the groom and wanted the Emperor of Han to find him himself. That way, it would be more enjoyable to be alone with him.
When the Emperor of Han came to the small garden full of roses, he saw his sweetheart watering the flowers there. He couldn't help but call out, "Weiwei." Gu Caiwei turned his head to look over, nodded at him with a smile, and gestured for him to enter the house.
The two entered the room and sat down. Gu Caiwei had brewed tea for Emperor Han and pushed it over. "Brother Han, please have some tea."
Emperor Han wasn't in the mood to drink tea. At this juncture, he was actually afraid that all of this was Xiao Yuyan's wishful thinking. But it seemed that Gu Caiwei wasn't completely ignorant. He tried his best to not reveal anything. "You know why I'm here?" This sentence revealed his true feelings.
Gu Caiwei used his clear eyes to look at Emperor Han, and said slowly but firmly: "Brother Han, thank you for treating me so well all these years, but from now on, I can no longer accept it."
Emperor Han's heart immediately sank to the bottom, and his mouth became dry. Even though he was already prepared in his heart, but this time, his rejection was very firm.
Gu Caiwei then tactfully said: "In order to not destroy the friendship between the Lotus Seat and the Dao Court, I have a way to pass the Purple Wei god power to you.
I will pass on my divine power to you to help you break through your current realm. "
If the first sentence made Emperor Han's heart unable to find anything to rely on, then the second sentence made his heart shatter, and his entire world collapse. "You think I'm treating you well because of the Purple Wei god power? What kind of person do you think I am? " He laughed bitterly, stood up, and walked to the door in a daze. He slowly turned his head, as though he was looking at the woman he loved one for the last time. "Is it because of him?" He got the answer from her eyes.
… …
The unchanging cold intent in the Demonic Palace often gave people the illusion that the entire palace was made of ice. Even though the palace was filled with Demon Race, it did not make the temperature rise.
The palace was filled with Demon Race, because Wenren Wei Yang had given special permission for the leaders of the various departments and halls to participate in the trial of the traitor. The traitor was Li Hongzhuang, his eldest disciple, and also his most accomplished disciple. His most accomplished disciple had colluded with other cultivators to kill countless of his compatriots. Those living demon warriors had disappeared from the world just like that. Anyone who was a leader would be heartbroken.
More importantly, Li Hongzhuang had lost Chi You. The demon race had used hundreds of years of hard work to finally pry open a brick to enter the immortal world. With the fall of Red Rock City and Red Rock Castle, this hole was filled again. Moreover, it could be imagined that after this lesson, the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy would definitely increase their investment and build the rear of Red Rock Canyon into an invincible iron bucket.
There were quite a lot of demons who came to the Judgement Assembly. The leaders of the middle-level and above were all present. There were also representatives of the major tribes, ghost races, demonic sects, and other forces. The members of the Blood-clothed Tower from the Heavenly Devil Palace had all arrived. Vice Floor Master Li Hongyi, Dragon Hall's new Hall Master and Vice Hall Master, Soul Hall's new Hall Master and Vice Hall Master. Shadow Hall didn't have any new Hall Masters. Shadow and Faceless were still the Hall Masters.
After six years of hard work, Li Hongyi was now recognized as a separate entity, no longer just Li Hongzhuang's treasure. They were like a pair of twin flowers, the only unique scenery in the hall.
If a demon's crime was too serious to be punished by the law, then there would be a Judgement Assembly. Wenren Wei Yang still had the right to make a decision, but for the sake of ruling, she would let all the demons vote. Of course, usually, if the crime was serious enough to be called for a Judgement Assembly, most of them had committed an "anti-demon crime", which was an unforgivable mistake. There was no suspense in the vote.
There was not a single whisper in the hall. Because of this, the coldness that never dissipated was even more piercing.
"You admit that you are a demon?" Wenren Wei Yang sat on the throne expressionlessly, breaking the dead silence.
"I am a demon without a doubt." As the only demon standing in the middle of the aisle, Li Hongzhuang didn't seem proud or ashamed. She spoke in a calm tone.
"Have you ever been proud of your bloodline?" Wenren Wei Yang asked.
A cold smile appeared on Li Hongzhuang's face. Her tone was calm as she said, "No."
There was an uproar in the hall. The yellow-clothed messenger Lu Feng asked sternly, "Are you going to openly betray the demon race?" As Lu Suxue's father, he naturally had to stand with his daughter. Because of his daughter, he was biased as the Yellow Envoy.
Li Hongzhuang smiled coldly. "Is the fact that humans are not proud of their human bloodline proof that he is betraying the human race? If that's the case, the human and immortal realms can find countless people like him. As long as we gather them, won't we be able to easily conquer the Three Realms? "
“
You are twisting words and forcing logic! "a demon retorted loudly.
"Shut up." When Wenren Wei Yang spoke, the entire hall became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Then, he continued, "Because you do not acknowledge your demon bloodline, you chose to betray us and help that brat?"
Li Hongzhuang said, "I do not think this is betrayal. Moreover, we are partners."
Wenren Wei Yang said angrily, "If this is not betrayal, then what is?" The hall shook from the sudden rise in his voice, causing the Heavenly Demon Horde to tremble.
Li Hongzhuang was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled. "I did not betray you, so the betrayer must be someone else."
Wenren Wei Yang asked coldly, "Who?"
Li Hongzhuang said two names. The demons' expressions changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, do not listen to this madness." Lu Feng immediately stood up and cupped his fists. "My daughter has always prioritized the great cause of the demon race. She has never been selfish. She would never betray the demon race."
Wenren Wei Yang said, "You have proof?"
Li Hongzhuang said, "I have proof."
The hall was in an uproar again. Ye Qiuchi and Lu Suxue looked at each other. They both felt a sense of fear. From the moment they realized they had fallen into Yan Li's trap, they had been uneasy. However, they could not bear the responsibility of losing Chi You. Otherwise, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. Therefore, they had to put the blame on Li Hongzhuang no matter what. This plan was so hasty and lacking in consideration. Compared to their past plans, it was as crude as a child's scribble.
When they saw Li Hongzhuang pass a Shadow Sphere to Azure Dragon, and then Azure Dragon pass it to Wenren Weiyang, their fear reached a peak. An unprecedented feeling caused them to freeze on the spot, unable to move. It was not until the contents of the Shadow Sphere ended that their bodies were finally reconnected to their brains, but it was already too late.
The hall was dead silent. Le Feng's face was cold and he didn't say a word. He silently retreated. He did not plead for mercy because he knew that this trial was to give an explanation to everyone in the demon world. Someone had to bear the responsibility of losing Chi You. It just so happened that that person was his daughter.
"You bitch, I asked you to help me, but you refused. Now that I'm in this state, it's all because of you!" Ye Qiuchi suddenly hit Lu Suxue and sent her flying. Then, he laughed, shouted, and jumped like crazy, "I betrayed the demon race, it's me, hahaha, I admit my loss, but this bitch doesn't deserve to stand with me …"
Just when everyone thought he had gone crazy, he knelt down and looked up at Wenren Wei Yang. "Godfather, I don't want this woman to die with me. This is my last wish!" After saying that, he showed a strange smile. He suddenly raised his hand and pierced his chest, squeezing his heart until it burst.
"No!" Lu Suxue finally realized that Ye Qiuchi was trying to save her life. She did not understand this feeling of joy mixed with sadness. She only knew that even if she died today, it would be worth it. So, she also went crazy. She threw herself on Ye Qiuchi's body and slit her own throat.
Wenren Wei Yang glanced at the body coldly and then announced in a cold tone, "The culprit has been eliminated. Disperse."
In the eyes of cultivators, the demon world was a very dark and complicated place. But in fact, the demon world was a very simple place. If there was a mistake, there would be punishment, and if there was merit, there would be rewards. Just like the straight path, there would not be any treacherous changes. Comparing the Court Of Sword and Xu Longxiang, one could understand that after Xu Longxiang was convicted, he still wanted to live. This was the difference.
