"That's right! Doesn't that fellow Niu Youde have any worries? "Duke Guang sighed and put his hands behind his back with a melancholy expression.
Gou Yue probed, "Prince, is there something on your mind?" Duke Guang lowered his head and looked at his feet while pacing back and forth.
Guang Ling Duke lowered his head and looked at his feet. He paced slowly. "I'm just feeling a little emotional. For so many years, we have been swallowing our anger and humiliation under the Green Lord's hands. We tried our best to balance the situation and compromise. But that bastard Niu Youde knew that the Green Lord was going to make a move on him … What would we do if we were him? We would definitely expose the matter and force Lord Qing to back off and maintain the balance! Niu Youde, on the other hand, directly went against Lord Qing. His courage is commendable. I'm just thinking, why can't we do it? Is it because we're old and have lost our drive? Or is it because Niu Youde is a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers? He really dares to go against us without any regard for the consequences! "
Gou Yue understood the deeper meaning behind his words and remained silent. He didn't know what to say and comforted, "Maybe it's not because he's brave but because he thinks he's confident enough!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Duke Guang turned around and waved his hand. "This time, things have really gotten out of hand. The situation is changing rapidly and the mansion is not a place to defend. Inform the people in the mansion to pack up and be prepared to move at any time."
"Yes!" Gou Yue replied.
In Prince Teng's mansion, Teng Fei stood under the eaves of the main hall with a straight face. He was fiddling with the Star Bell in his hand.
Lord Qing had threatened and bribed him, ordering him to send troops and threatened to kill him if he didn't obey!
Kou Lingxu was infuriated and reprimanded him for not sending troops to help. Duke Guang also blamed him for not being on the same side.
Just now, Niu Youde also sent a message to him, ordering him to send troops to help Kou Lingxu to deal with the Blissful Realm's army. If he didn't obey, Niu Youde would send troops to kill him!
"I seem to have become the target of everyone!" Teng Fei said indifferently.
Teng Zhong said, "Prince, we seem to have offended everyone."
Teng Fei sneered. "So what? Do you think I'm that easy to scare? You're warning me, but you're actually begging me to move? Whoever touches This King will have to worry that This King will fall to their opponent. Who dares? This King's faction is currently the weakest among the few factions. If I were to really listen to them and get involved, who would take me seriously when I lose my men? It's still the same thing. When everyone's forces are almost exhausted, then they'll listen to us! Threatening? Let them threaten me. This King will not move. What can they do to This King? "
Teng Zhong sighed helplessly. He knew that His Royal Highness had no other choice. Who asked him to be the weakest? If he rashly got involved in the fight, he really couldn't afford to fight. He was already the weakest, and if he continued to fight, he could only lower his head and be humiliated. The feeling of offering his beautiful concubines and daughters to others was not a good one …
The blue waves of the sea, the tall cliffs towering.
In the sea, at the bottom of the cliff, there was a vast underground palace. Soldiers armed with swords and spears were everywhere, and every man and woman in the palace was guarded.
Xu Tangran followed a group of people out of the main hall. Inside the hall, Huangfu Liankong, Huangfu Zhuo, and Huangfu Gao turned their heads to look at him coldly.
Xu Tangran raised his hand to stop them. "Wait outside."
A general said in a low voice, "Marquis, it's better to be safe." What he meant was that everyone should go in together.
"Do I not trust Old Mister Huangfu's character?" Xu Tangran turned around and rolled his eyes at him, but then added, "If anything happens, don't worry about me. Kill me as well. Don't let anyone leave alive!"
These words seemed to be meant for the people inside, so the general reluctantly agreed. "Yes!"
Only then did Xu Tangran walk in with a chuckle. He cupped his hands at the father and son. "Old Mister, Second Master, Third Master."
The white-haired Huangfu Liankong sat at the round table without moving. Huangfu Zhuo and Huangfu Gao stood beside him, staring at him coldly.
Xu Tangran sat on the opposite side of the table without being invited. He smiled. "I know the three of you aren't in a good mood, but don't worry. It'll be over soon. The fighting outside is too dangerous, and I'm only doing this to protect the three of you."
The corner of Huangfu Liankong's mouth twitched. "This old man has already agreed to serve His Highness. Marquis, is there a point in doing this?"
The Huangfu Clan moved as soon as there was a commotion outside.
There was no helping it. Everyone knew that the Huangfu Clan was a force of the Heavenly Palace. They were in the Western Army's territory, so how could they not flee when the Western Army was attacking the Imperial Guards? However, Xu Tangran didn't let them go. In order to calm him down, Huangfu Liankong feigned civility and agreed to serve Niu Youde. Who knew that Xu Tangran would come up with such a drastic move. While the Huangfu Clan was moving, he immediately sent troops to surround the Huangfu Clan. To put it bluntly, he had captured them all.
The Huangfu Clan was quite powerful, but against the two million troops that Xu Tangran had brought with him, it was like a force of the pugilistic world against the imperial army. There was no way they could fight back. Resistance would only result in death. They could only obediently surrender.
Even though this was the Huangfu Clan's secret hideout, it was currently under Xu Tangran's control by force. To put it nicely, Huangfu Liankong had been placed under house arrest by Xu Tangran. Miao Yi didn't ask him to do so, but he had his own way of doing things. He had the authority to make decisions on his own, so he didn't have to report every detail to Miao Yi. It was fine as long as he could complete the mission Miao Yi had given him.
Xu Tangran sighed. "It's precisely because Old Mister has agreed to it that we have to show our sincerity. This way, everyone will have less to worry about. How great is that!"
Huangfu Liankong said with a sullen expression, "Marquis, you don't trust us!"
Xu Tangran shook his head. "If Old Mister insists on saying this, then I can't do anything about it. You can curse me in your heart, and I'll accept it. Let me put it this way. I have followed His Highness for many years, and I have never failed a mission that His Highness has given me. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. Let me put it this way. Since Old Mister has already agreed to serve His Highness, there's no need for you to suffer such a small grievance. As long as Old Mister shows your sincerity, I can guarantee that no one in the Huangfu Clan will lose a single hair. Of course, if anyone tries to do anything under my nose, I won't be a gentleman either. I can guarantee that no one in the Huangfu Clan will be spared! "
Huangfu Liankong: "Are you threatening this old man?"
Xu Tangran: "If you insist on thinking of it that way … Fine, I am threatening you. Furthermore, I am threatening you with the lives of your entire clan! You won't be happy to hear this, and I also don't want to do something that will offend others. However, it doesn't matter if you and I are happy. What's important is His Highness's plans, don't you think? I don't know what Old Mister is thinking, but to this Xu, there's no such thing as a threat. As long as it's His Highness's orders, this Xu would rather do something bad than do something wrong. If I ruin His Highness's plans, this Marquis won't be able to answer to His Highness. Therefore, I hope Old Mister can understand my difficulties. Besides, you should be able to see my sincerity. I didn't restrict your cultivation, right? "
Huangfu Zhuo snorted. "You didn't restrict our cultivation because you wanted to make it easier for us to control the Hero Assembly for you to use!"
"Second Master is indeed wise. You even saw through this!" Xu Tangran clapped his hands in praise. However, he immediately cast a cold glance at Huangfu Zhuo. "However, I don't quite understand what Second Master means. What do you mean by 'use for you to use'? I don't know if I heard wrong, but why do I feel that Second Master is a little unwilling to serve His Highness? "
Huangfu Zhuo: "If Marquis insists on guessing like this, then there's nothing I can do. I …"
Huangfu Liankong raised his hand to interrupt him. "Marquis, forgive me for being blunt. I'm afraid you've already messed up His Highness's task."
Xu Tangran suddenly narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean? Could it be that Family Head is going back on his word? "
Huangfu Liankong shook his head. "Do you really think that the Heavenly Palace can trust the Huangfu Clan with the Hero Assembly? The Huangfu Clan seems to be controlling the Hero Assembly, but in fact, the Heavenly Palace has been keeping a close eye on the Huangfu Clan. Now that you've taken us hostage, I'm afraid the Heavenly Palace already knows. This old man originally wanted the Hero Assembly to play a greater role for His Highness … Marquis, I'm afraid you've done something bad with your good intentions! "
Xu Tangran was startled. He immediately chuckled. "Family Head, are you referring to the Shadow Guards monitoring the Huangfu Clan? If that's the case, then there's no need to worry at all. Who do you think His Highness is? Isn't this a piece of cake? His Highness has already taken care of this problem for the Huangfu Clan. All you need to do is to do a good job for His Highness. You don't have to worry about anything else. "
He didn't know the exact situation either. However, Miao Yi had mentioned the Huangfu Clan's situation to him before they departed. Miao Yi told him not to accidentally hurt his own people. Only then did he vaguely understand the situation.
The father and son trio were shocked. They looked at each other, a little fearful of Niu Youde's power. Could he even control the Celestial Monarch's Shadow Guards?
At this moment, Huangfu Liankong finally remembered the words that Niu Youde had told him in the past. 'My power is far greater than you can imagine!'
At this moment, Huangfu Liankong furrowed his brows. He took out a Star Bell and contacted the outside world. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Shangguan Qing has given the order for the Hero Assembly to be mobilized and act as the eyes and ears of His Majesty's army."
They had no choice but to say it. The lives of their entire family were in the hands of this bastard. This bastard didn't even give them the chance to ride on the fence. Back then, he even said that they would be allowed to ride on the fence and decide who to serve based on the situation. Now it turned out that it was all bullsh * t!
Xu Tangran immediately asked about the situation. He then took out his Star Bell and reported the situation. When he was done, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. He put away the Star Bell and cheerfully said to the father and son trio, "I have good news for the three of you. Lord Qing's eight hundred million personal guards have been defeated by His Highness. The entire army has been annihilated!" He was in high spirits and his face was glowing.
'Eight hundred million personal guards have been annihilated?' The father and son trio were truly shocked this time. 'Doesn't that mean Niu Youde has annihilated a third of Lord Qing's troops?' However, they didn't know if Miao Yi was telling the truth …
On Jupiter Planet, a figure streaked across the sky and landed on the shore of a lush lake. It was an old man dressed in a green robe. His calm eyes exuded a unique aura. He was the Palace Lord of Wood Traversing Palace, Situ Mu.
After looking around and confirming the terrain, Situ Mu dove into the lake in a flash. When he reached a depth of several hundred meters, he discovered that the color of the lake had already turned black. His Transcendence Star Shield was emitting a sizzling sound. Situ Mu realized that the water of the lake was poisonous. He strengthened his Transcendence Star Shield and continued to dive deeper, ignoring the corrosive effects of the poison.
Not long after, he found a hole at the bottom of the lake where the funnel was. He dove into a waterway at the bottom of the lake. The deeper he went, the more he could sense how poisonous the water was, and the consumption of his Transcendence Star Shield was also increasing. When he reached the end of the waterway, he saw a Green Armored Centipede that was over a hundred feet long coiled up in a ball. It was chained up and had long nails stuck into its body. It looked extremely terrifying in this dark water.
