At the same time.
The people from the Immortal Dynasty were also discussing. However, they weren't discussing whether the white robed man was the real Scarlet Firmament Sovereign King.
They were discussing whether they should make a move.
According to the original plan, they were not going to make a move today. They were going to discuss with Yanluo royalty after the temple fair.
That's right.
They were going to discuss.
This was also Sengoku's intention.
The decree of the Immortal Dynasty was very simple and clear. They would try their best to recruit the Yan Luo Imperial Family. If the Yan Luo Imperial Family refused to surrender, they would use force to intimidate them. Moreover, they could only intimidate them and not annihilate them. If the Immortal Dynasty really wanted to annihilate the Yan Luo Imperial Family, they wouldn't only send so few people.
However.
With Gu Qingfeng's appearance, the situation changed.
There was no other reason.
Gu Qingfeng had killed dozens of Sengoku viscounts in the Northwest. Not long ago, he had killed several Sengoku viscounts in Yanluo. Nine years ago, Fairy Su Yan had said that he was dead, but now that he was still alive, they would not let this matter rest.
More than two hundred Sengoku viscounts, led by Liu Guang Que and Long Qianren, were all eager to make a move. It seemed that they could not hold back.
Of course, young people were full of youthful vigor. Moreover, why would these Sengoku viscounts come all the way to Yanluo? Did they really think that they were here to gain experience? It was true that they were here to gain experience, but more importantly, they wanted to show off and increase their reputation in preparation for becoming famous.
One of the three leaders, Liu Guang Tao, an elder of the Liu Guang family, also had the same idea. He was in favor of killing Gu Qingfeng on the spot to show Sengoku respect.
However.
There were also some who did not agree with this.
He was also one of the three leaders, but the difference was Xun Nian of the Haoran Xun family.
"Gu Qingfeng may have killed dozens of Sengoku viscounts in the Northwest, which is an unforgivable crime, but if we make a move now, I'm afraid it will ruin our plans. After all, we are here to ask for Yanluo royalty's surrender. I hope that everyone can consider the bigger picture."
Liu Guang Tao retorted, "Master Xun, you should be able to see the attitude of the Yan Luo Imperial Family this time. They invited this surnamed Gu to come out and lied that he was Gu Tianlang, the sinner of the Immortal Dao. They even gave him the throne and knelt down. They just want to use Gu Tianlang's name to scare us. In that case, do you think they will accept the surrender? It's obvious that they want to defy the imperial edict. Besides, we are only talking about killing Gu Qingfeng. What does that have to do with the bigger picture? "
"Just as you said, Gu Qing Feng was invited by the Yan Luo Royal Family. Let's not talk about their purpose for doing this for now. If we kill Gu Qing Feng on the spot, it will definitely cause the Yan Luo Royal Family to refute. When that time comes, once a fight breaks out, things will be irreversible … I'm afraid it will be very difficult to recruit the Yan Luo Royal Family.
Xun Nian argued, "What's more, everyone knows about the imperial decree of the Celestial Dynasty. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we should try our best to clash with the Yan Luo Imperial Family. In this old man's opinion, the current situation is far from being absolutely necessary, right?"
"Hmph! Now everyone knows that this person is Gu Qingfeng and that he killed dozens of Sengoku's nobles in the Northwest. If we let him get away with it here, where will the dignity of Sengoku go? "
"Even if we want to act, there is no need to rush. After the temple fair, we will first discuss with Yanluo royalty. It won't be too late to kill Gu Qingfeng then."
"If he escapes, will you take responsibility?"
"There are so many of us. If we can't even keep an eye on him, then there is no need for us to return to Sengoku. We will end our own lives!"
"You!"
Liu Guang Tao was rendered speechless by Xun Nian's words.
Xun Nian was a senior of virtue and prestige. He was famous in Sengoku and even the world. Although Liu Guang Tao was angry, he did not dare to be too presumptuous with Xun Nian.
At this moment, a dignified voice was heard.
"If he wants to run, we may not be able to keep an eye on him."
It was a woman who had spoken.
This woman was dressed in black. She was sitting on a chair, tasting fine wine.
She was also one of the three managers, Qianhe.
Holding a glass of wine, she stared at Gu Qingfeng, who was sitting in the pavilion and talking to Tang Laoguai. She softly said, "But the problem is that he has no intention of running. Not only that, when he saw Sengoku, he showed no fear, not even a trace of fear. Ever since he arrived, he has not even glanced at us. Don't you think that this is very strange?"
"Qianhe, what do you mean?" Liu Guang Tao asked in confusion. The other Sengoku members were also puzzled.
"What do I mean?" Qianhe said, "Manager Liu Guang, let me ask you. Fairy Su Yan said that he was dead nine years ago, but he is not. Why do you think that is?"
"Is it not because Fairy Su Yan deliberately covered up for him, so she lied about his death?"
"You also know Fairy Su Yan. I think everyone knows her. Even if you don't, you should know what kind of person Fairy Su Yan is. Do you think that with Fairy Su Yan's character, she would cover up for a criminal who killed dozens of nobles in Sengoku?" Qianhe slowly said in a very soft voice, "Don't tell me that it is because of King Chixiao, and don't tell me that he has merged with the King's remnant consciousness. These are just rumors and can't be taken seriously. And I believe that with Fairy Su Yan's character, even if Gu Qingfeng had really merged with the King's remnant consciousness, she would not bend the law to protect him."
"Fairy Su Yan said that she was dead nine years ago. If she did not cover up for him, why is he still alive?"
"Yes, why? That is the crux of the problem. What if Fairy Su Yan did not lie about his death, and really thought that he was dead? Fairy Su Yan is very experienced. If she did not see it with her own eyes, and if she was not very sure, she would not speak without thinking. In other words, Fairy Su Yan must have seen Gu Qingfeng disappear, but he is still alive … Don't you think that this is very scary when you think about it carefully? "
Hearing Qianhe's words, the people of Sengoku thought about it carefully and felt a sense of horror.
"We don't know what happened in the northwest nine years ago, so we can't deduce what the truth is. But this is not important. Manager Liu Guang, you agreed to kill him on the spot. Then, do you know how strong he is?"
Liu Guang Tao did not answer this question.
He really did not know how strong Gu Qingfeng was.
"A person without any cultivation, without any creation, and without reincarnation can kill a Dixian with a wave of his hand and intimidate millions of people. You don't know how strong he is, and you dare to act blindly?"
Liu Guang Tao was a Perfected Immortal, so he was not a fool. Not only was he not a fool, he was above everyone else. If he had met Gu Qingfeng alone, he would not have dared to act rashly. But Sengoku had thousands of people this time, including more than thirty Perfected Immortals and hundreds of Itinerant Immortals. Liu Guang Tao was naturally not afraid. Moreover, he was a Perfected Immortal conferred by Sengoku and represented Sengoku. No one would dare to oppose him.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the other party really rebelled and went against the Celestial Dynasty, if he was really no match for the other party, he had the confidence to protect himself. At that time, he would return to the Celestial Dynasty to seek reinforcements and kill the other party!
One sentence.
No matter who the other party was.
No matter how strong the other party was.
As long as they went against the Celestial Dynasty, only death awaited them.
Liu Guang Tao knew this very well, which was why he did not care so much.
