[August 21st, First Update]
If an all-out war broke out, both sides would suffer casualties. It was just a matter of numbers.
Who could be sure that they wouldn't be among those who died in the war?
Therefore, neither the Dark Star Sect nor the Great Yuan Dynasty wanted to start a war.
However, the decision-making power was never decided by numbers. It was in the hands of the Paramount King, Meng Tie.
To the Paramount King, Ye Xing threatened the foundation of the Great Yuan Dynasty. As long as he could kill Ye Xing, any price would be worth it.
The Supreme King Meng Tie's gaze was as sharp as a knife. He swept his gaze over the martial artists of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Everyone could feel the killing intent in Meng Tie's eyes. Immediately, they all put on an aggressive front. It was as if they were ready to fight the Dark Star Sect.
However, one of the Supremes didn't have time to hide the fear in his heart. The Paramount King, Meng Tie, saw it.
The Paramount King, Meng Tie, shouted coldly, "Are you afraid?"
When a war broke out, even a King could die. Although a Supremacy was considered an expert, in an all-out war, he wasn't much stronger than cannon fodder. Of course, he was afraid.
This Supremacy managed to calm himself down and advised, "Once the war breaks out, there will be countless casualties. Paramount King, please reconsider!"
The Paramount King, Meng Tie, raised his eyebrows and struck out with his palm. A palm print instantly flew above this Supremacy and smashed him into meat paste.
"Trash! What's the use of keeping you alive! "
The Paramount King, Meng Tie, said coldly. All the Great Yuan Dynasty's martial artists felt a chill run down their spines.
A King of the Meng royal family saw the opportunity and shouted, "We pledge our lives to obey the Paramount King's orders and kill the traitor Ye Xing!"
All the Great Yuan Dynasty's martial artists made up their minds and raised their arms.
"We pledge our lives to obey the Paramount King's orders and kill the traitor Ye Xing!"
"We pledge our lives to obey the Paramount King's orders and kill the traitor Ye Xing!"
…
Their voices were uniform, and their aura was overwhelming.
The Supreme King, Meng Tie, had absolute authority in the Great Yuan Dynasty. In this aspect, he was much stronger than the Black Biao King in the Dark Star Sect.
Although the Black Tiger King's position in the Dark Star Sect was high, he was not the Sect Master. However, even if he was the Dark Star Sect Master, he could not make all the martial practitioners in the sect risk their lives with a single order.
There was a fundamental difference between the rule of a sect and the rule of a government.
Faced with the surging aura of the Great Yuan Dynasty cultivators, many of the Dark Star Sect cultivators revealed looks of fear. In such a state, once the battle began, many of them would definitely flee.
"Calm down. There are no cowards in my Dark Star Church. Ever since we established our church, we have been fighting against the Great Yuan Dynasty for over a thousand years. When have we ever been afraid?"
"Your ancestors have all fought with the experts of the Great Yuan Dynasty before. When have they ever been scared off?"
An old voice rang out from a mountain peak in the distance.
An expert of the Darkstar Sect exclaimed with surprise. "It's the Sovereign Sect's Master!"
"The Sovereign Sect's Master is with us!"
"That's right. Our ancestors were never afraid. We can't lose face for our ancestors!"
"Fuck! It's not for Ye Xing but for the dignity of the Dark Star Sect. For the sake of our pride, the Great Yuan Dynasty is nothing! I'm not afraid!"
…
All the martial practitioners in the Dark Star Sect roared loudly.
Their voices were powerful, and some of the martial practitioners who were originally afraid felt the hot blood in their hearts awaken when they heard the roars of the people by their sides, causing them to become strong.
Even though there were still some people who were afraid, it was only a small portion of them.
The Black Tiger King heaved a sigh of relief when the Sovereign Sect's Master spoke out to stabilize the situation. Even though he was strong, he usually didn't care about anything, so his prestige in the Dark Star Sect wasn't very high. No matter what he said, it couldn't compare to the Sovereign Sect's Master.
The Supreme King, Meng Tie, had a firm expression, and he didn't change at all because of the rising morale of the Dark Star Sect.
The Supreme King, Meng Tie, swept his gaze and roared. "I swear that I won't stop until Ye Xing is dead. If your Dark Star Sect doesn't hand over Ye Xing, then I'll annihilate your Dark Star Sect today and make all of you accompany Ye Xing in death!"
The Supreme King, Meng Tie, raised his arm, and the hearts of the martial practitioners on both sides instantly leaped up to their throats. So long as the Supreme King gave the order, this place would immediately become hell on earth. Corpses would pile up into mountains and blood would flow into rivers.
The Black Tiger King was slightly nervous as well. An all-out battle between both sides wasn't the outcome he wanted. He roared loudly.
"Meng Tie, you know my ability. If I want to take Ye Xing away, then none of you can stop me. Your target is Ye Xing, and once I take Ye Xing away, the martial practitioners of the Great Yuan Dynasty will die for nothing. Is there any meaning to this battle?"
The Supreme King, Meng Tie, couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.
His target was Ye Xing. As long as he could kill Ye Xing, he felt that any price he had to pay would be worth it!
However, if he couldn't kill Ye Xing, would it be worth it to pay such a huge price?
The answer was yes, it wasn't!
Although the Dark Star Sect's strength wasn't comparable to the Great Yuan Dynasty's, a three-star faction that had developed for over a thousand years couldn't be underestimated. Even if the Great Yuan Dynasty could win this battle, it would still be a huge loss to kill a thousand enemies and inflict heavy losses on themselves. It would definitely cause the Great Yuan Dynasty to suffer a great loss.
If they could kill Ye Xing, then the losses would be worth it. However, if they couldn't kill Ye Xing, then wouldn't the losses be for nothing?
Thinking about whether it was worth it or not, the Supreme King, Meng Tie's fighting spirit instantly cooled down.
However, when the Supreme King, Meng Tie, thought about it from a different angle, the sharpness in his eyes suddenly intensified.
Ye Xing was a demonic star in troubled times. For the future of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Ye Xing had to be eliminated.
Now that Ye Xing was right in front of him, how could he give up just because of the Dark Star Sect's obstruction? If news of this were to spread, others would think that he, the Supreme King, was afraid of the Dark Star Sect.
What a joke! He was the Supreme King, the ruler of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the ruler of the entire Star Land. How could he be afraid of the Dark Star Sect?
Even if it wasn't to kill Ye Xing, for the sake of his face and dignity, he couldn't give up just because of the Dark Star Sect's obstruction!
For the sake of his face and the dignity of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the fighting spirit in Meng Tie's eyes had reached its limit. He was about to give the order to start the battle.
"Wait —!"
Ye Xing had been paying attention to the changes in the Supreme King's emotions all this time. Seeing this, he shouted loudly.
Ye Xing knew that at this point, the Dark Star Sect's persistence and the Great Yuan Dynasty's persistence no longer focused on him, Ye Xing. Instead, it had become a matter of face and dignity for both parties.
The Dark Star Sect didn't retreat not because the people of the Dark Star Sect were willing to risk their lives with Ye Xing, but because of their dignity.
The Supreme King, Meng Tie, insisted on fighting not because he wanted his subordinates to die meaninglessly, but also because of his dignity.
Since the main point was no longer Ye Xing, this matter was easy to handle. In fact, both parties didn't want to start the battle. It was just that they didn't have a way out.
As long as they gave each other a way out, the matter would be resolved.
The Supreme King, Meng Tie's gaze landed on Ye Xing. His hand that was about to wave down paused in mid-air. He said, "Do you have anything to say? Do you want to surrender?"
