The messenger from the Heavenly Academy came to Mount Buzhou.
The messenger, who was half a step away from the Emperor Realm, walked into the Stone City with nine Heaven Realm experts.
At the same time, in the Eastern Region's Human Emperor Palace, four Taoists in Taoist robes sat on both sides of the hall. Lu Xiufu sat on the main seat with a dignified expression.
"What you're doing is too much!"
After a long silence, Lu Xiufu broke the silence. "Disbanding the army of the Stone City is one thing, and the benefits on the mountain can be shared equally with you. But … why do you have to destroy the Tiannan State and kill them all?"
The leading Taoist smiled and said, "Back then, Ye Tianze was conferred the title of King of the South by the late Emperor. When he was in power, he was different. He suppressed the Three Sects and Seven Schools of the Southern Region and even destroyed the Dutian Clan. Dutian Yulong is his father, and he is also a descendant of the Dutian Clan. Such a tyrannical person should have been killed long ago."
"Yes, Ye Tianze's evil deeds in the Southern Region are too numerous to be recorded. How can that little bit of merit offset them? The people of the Tiannan State are jackals of the same tribe as him. Moreover, the Tiannan State established itself without the title of Human Emperor. They are all traitors!"
Another Taoist said, "Why is Lord White Tiger still protecting this traitor?"
"I don't care what he did in the Southern Region, but he was the one who helped the Human Tribe to ascend the mountain. How can the Human Tribe have today's fate without his contribution?"
Lu Xiufu said, "Moreover, he was ordered by His Majesty to represent the Human Tribe and the Four Emperors to fight the King of Darkness. Now that he has fallen for the Human Tribe, you want to kill the donkey after it has been used. Aren't you afraid of disheartening people?"
"Lord White Tiger is wrong. He was ordered by His Majesty to go to the top of the mountain. That is his honor. Although he made contributions for the Human Tribe, it is difficult to redeem his sins!"
The leading Daoist said, "That means he succeeded. If he didn't succeed, wouldn't the human race be doomed eternally? Now, he and the Four Emperors fought against the King of Darkness and killed the King of Darkness. The Four Emperors were severely injured and died a worthy death. However, a crime is a crime and it cannot be offset! "
"That's right. Even if we have the intention to let the Tiannan State go, Lord White Tiger should know that his subordinates are all stubborn people."
Another Taoist said, "If we don't destroy the Tiannan State, we will have to pay a high price to take back the stone city."
Lu Xiufu quickly understood what they were trying to do. It was obvious that they couldn't do anything to Shi Cheng, or they knew that even with their current strength, they would still have to pay a heavy price if they fought with Shi Cheng.
How could it be so easy to destroy an army that could defeat the golden armor of the Protoss in Mount Buzhou without defeat?
"His Majesty is too kind!"
Lu Xiufu clenched his fists and said coldly, "You keep saying that you want to take back Shi Cheng. You keep saying that his sins are monstrous and that he needs to atone for his sins. But what have you done for the Human Tribe?"
The four Taoists looked indifferent. The leading Taoist said, "Lord White Tiger, please watch your words!"
"I will watch your eighteen generations of ancestors!"
Even though Lu Xiufu had a good temper, he was furious. "A group of shameless beasts. Listen to me. It's fine if you divide Shi Cheng, but if you dare to touch the Tiannan State, I, Lu Xiufu, will not rest until you are dead!"
The four Taoists' faces changed slightly.
After a moment of silence, one of them said, "Lord White Tiger, why are you angry over a dead man? You have to consider the big picture. Even if Lord White Tiger kills all four of us, I'm afraid it won't change anything."
"Although the Four Emperors are seriously injured, there is no Human Emperor in the Human Tribe. We are like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. If Lord White Tiger really hurts our relationship, I'm afraid no one can maintain the situation of Mount Buzhou. If the territory of Mount Buzhou is lost, it will damage the destiny of the Human Tribe."
These two clearly grasped Lu Xiufu's weakness and told him that he was not only Lu Xiufu.
You are also the Lord of the Human Emperor Palace in the Eastern Region. Even the Divine General's Estate backed down. You are under the control of the Old General. Are you going to disobey?
Moreover, you are the commander of the White Tiger Corps. After destroying Shi Cheng, the Corps still has to cooperate with them to discuss the future of the Human Tribe.
Everything has to be considered for the big picture. How can you act like a child?
The big picture was also Lu Xiufu's weakness. Although he was angry, there was a moment when he really wanted to abandon everything and kill them.
But he couldn't do it. He was in a high position, but he couldn't do it.
Not only did he have to maintain the authority of the Human Emperor Palace, but he also had to maintain the White Tiger Corps.
He couldn't abandon the soldiers under him.
At this moment, Lu Xiufu suddenly understood how comfortable it was to cooperate with Ye Tianze.
Although this brat Ye Tianze was extremely daring, to the point of making him jump in anger at times, he had never put his own interests first.
The entire Shi Cheng was built on a kind of belief. That was also the belief of the Human Tribe!
Therefore, from top to bottom of the Corps, everyone was sincerely convinced and willing to provide all support to the army of Shi Cheng.
Even if it was just to be a green leaf under the halo of their victory.
The dignified soldiers of the White Tiger Corps were willing to be a green leaf for Shi Cheng's army. Furthermore, they were doing it willingly. No one would believe it if they said it.
However, they were really willing. Shi Cheng wasn't just Ye Tianze's, nor was it the soldiers'. It was also the White Tiger Corps' stone city.
Almost all the veterans of Shi Cheng's army had been in the White Tiger Corps. They were the essence of the White Tiger Corps.
Without these veterans, even if Ye Tianze had given Shi Cheng's army the best resources, the best equipment, and the best environment, their combat strength wouldn't have grown so quickly.
To Lu Xiufu and the soldiers of the White Tiger Corps, Shi Cheng's army was their child.
Now, Lu Xiufu had to look on helplessly as someone else strangled his own child to death in swaddling clothes. This was all because the Human Tribe couldn't fall into chaos.
"His Majesty is too merciful."
Lu Xiufu lowered his head and said in an incomparably low voice, "His Majesty should kill all of you. He should cut you into pieces and throw you into the dung with those maggots. Because you are no different from those maggots!"
The four Daoists' faces darkened, but they quickly calmed down. At least, Lu Xiufu had yielded.
At the same time, the commander of Shi Cheng's army, Father Ming, received news that the Three Sects, Seven Schools, and Four Great Clans of the Southern Border had gathered an army of a million to attack the Heavenly South.
The Divine General's Estate ordered the Rosefinch Army to strictly order Zhu Que to guard Zhu Que City and not to participate in the internal strife of the Human Tribe.
At the same time, the Heavenly Dao Academy's emissary led the nine people into the ancestral hall of Shi Cheng.
The emissary said, "If you don't surrender, the Three Sects and Seven Schools will join forces with Acheron and destroy the Tiannan State. No one will be spared!"
The generals of Shi Cheng clenched their fists and dug their nails into their palms.
They were prepared to fight to the death and never surrender. However … what awaited them was a drastic change in strategy!
Fight? Surrender?
Even Zhuge Qi hesitated.
