With the appearance of Duke Shengyang, the atmosphere in the main hall gradually turned cold and solemn. Whether it was the lords of the various Immortal Dynasties or the lords of the various Immortal Domains, none of them dared to speak. They were all waiting for Duke Shengyang to teach the Shark Elephant Domain Lord a lesson. In their eyes, Shark Elephant Domain Lord was like a fat pig.
However …
Duke Shengyang's face was solemn as he stared at the Shark Elephant Region Lord without speaking.
The Shark Elephant Region Lord closed his eyes and hummed a tune to amuse himself, pretending not to know.
After a while, one of the lords of Sengoku couldn't help but whisper, "Region Lord, Grand Elder Duke Shengyang … has returned."
"Hmm?"
Finally.
The Shark Elephant Region Lord stopped humming and opened his eyes to see Duke Shengyang. He pretended to be shocked and said, "Oh, isn't this Grand Elder Duke Shengyang? When did you come back? Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could have prepared a banquet to welcome you. "
"Thank you! There's no need for you to worry! "
Duke Shengyang didn't seem to want to waste his breath on the Shark Elephant Region Lord and asked directly, "May I ask if the Region Lord knows what happened in Lingluo Sky?"
"What happened?" The Shark Elephant Region Lord gnawed on a fat beef leg and tore off a piece of raw meat. He chewed and said, "Is it about the opening of the Progenitor Realm? We've already made arrangements for this, and … "
Duke Shengyang interrupted the Shark Elephant Region Lord and shouted, "I'm not talking about the opening of the Progenitor Realm."
"Then what is it?"
"It's about the resurrection of the sinner that heaven and earth can't tolerate!"
"Oh, you're talking about that."
The Shark Elephant Region Lord picked up the wine jar and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He exhaled and said, "Of course I've heard about such a big thing."
"Since the Region Lord already knows about it, why haven't you done anything?"
"Aren't we waiting for a decree from the Nine Heavens?"
"Emperor You has harmed the Great Dao and brought disaster to the common people. Heaven and earth cannot tolerate such a sinner. Everyone has the right to punish him. Even if the Nine Heavens didn't send down a decree, as the immortal officials of Lingluo Territory, we have the duty and responsibility to get rid of this evil for the common people …"
This time, before Duke Shengyang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shark Elephant Ruler, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right. But the problem is, no one knows if Emperor You has really come back to life. If it's fake news, then wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
Duke Shengyang shouted, "Longevity Pavilion's Exalted Immortal Qing Qing and Founding Mountain Grandpa have already confirmed it. That criminal Emperor You has most likely returned!"
"This … Great Elder, you're a senior. How could you believe those rumors? Let's not talk about whether Emperor You has really come back from the dead. Even if he really did come back, the rumors that he's a sinner who threatens the Great Dao are just rumors. It's fine to just listen to them. How could you take them seriously?"
"This old man really doesn't know if the rumors are true or not. I only know that there's no smoke without fire. Whether or not the rumors are true, we immortals can't let him go." Duke Shengyang shouted righteously, "We'd rather kill a sinner who threatens the Great Dao than let him go."
"Grand Elder, don't you think you're being a little too harsh?" Shark Elephant said, "We don't even know if the rumors are true or false yet you want to kill him. How wronged would that be!"
"Wronged? Hahahaha! "
Inexplicable.
Duke Shengyang suddenly burst into laughter, causing the entire hall to tremble violently. After that, he shouted, "How many Immortals did that sinner, Emperor You, slaughter in ancient times? How many innocents did he kill? He destroyed Sengoku, burned the nine heavens, and is absolutely irreconcilable with the immortals of the nine heavens. Everyone has the right to kill him. Even if he's cut into a thousand pieces, it won't be enough to quench the hatred in my heart! "
"Grand Elder, you said it yourself. That's something from the ancient times. It's been ten thousand years since then. Why can't you let it go after so many years?" While eating the meat and drinking the wine, Shark Elephant said indifferently, "Let's be honest, who among those who have been living in the Great Wilderness has never killed a man or two? If you don't kill, you'll be killed. If you keep harping on such a trivial matter, don't you think you're being too petty? "
"Impudent!"
Duke Shengyang flew into a rage. His face flushed red as he glared at Shark Elephant and shouted, "Do you know that the previous ruler of Lingluo was killed by that criminal Emperor You?"
"I've heard about that, and I also heard that the disciple you doted on the most back then was killed by Emperor You as well? If I remember correctly, even you were in the hands of the You Emperor … "
When Duke Shengyang said this, the expressions of the lords of Sengoku and immortal realms in the hall changed drastically.
They all knew that this matter was the pain in Duke Shengyang's heart. Even though it had been so long, no one dared to mention it in front of him. This was because what happened back then was not only a pain in Duke Shengyang's heart, but also the greatest humiliation he had suffered in his life.
Back then.
Emperor You wasn't Emperor You. He was still King Chixiao, the one who'd destroyed Sengoku.
When he'd first entered the great wilderness, he'd lived in seclusion in Lingluo.
Not long after, his identity as King Chixiao had been exposed for some reason. Soon, he'd been hunted down by the Immortal Dao. Lingluo's immortal palace had been the first to encircle Emperor You. That battle was still fresh in the minds of many in the hall. That was because many lords of Sengoku and immortal realms had participated in the encirclement back then.
They clearly remembered how terrifying the battle situation was when they encircled Emperor You back then.
If they could go back to that time, the people of Sengoku would never have gone to encircle Emperor You.
That was because it was too terrifying.
Even now, they still had lingering fears when they thought about it.
In that battle, the Domain Lord of Lingluo Territory had died. Duke Shengyang's most beloved disciple had also died. Furthermore, it was Emperor You who had slapped Duke Shengyang's most beloved disciple into ashes right in front of him.
Even Duke Shengyang himself had been beaten half to death by Emperor You back then.
That battle was Duke Shengyang's humiliation because he'd been the one who'd led the encirclement. He'd also been the one who'd shouted the loudest. He'd also been the one who'd raised the banner of the Immortal Dao and vowed to destroy Emperor You.
In the end.
Emperor You had hung him up in front of everyone and given him a good beating. That was a real beating. Duke Shengyang's entire body was covered in blood. Emperor You had even crippled his limbs. In the end, he'd turned into a human stick.
That was a pain that Duke Shengyang would never be able to erase in his life. It was also the greatest humiliation he'd ever suffered in his hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. He couldn't forget it. He would never forget it.
