It was easy to guess what Luo Wuji was thinking by asking this question at this time.
Without a doubt, he wanted to be the leader of this alliance.
It had to be said that he was a very ambitious person. Even if it was only a temporary alliance, he still wanted to control everyone.
"I think that Sect Leader Luo is a good candidate!"
"That's right. Sect Leader Luo is powerful and resourceful. He's the most suitable candidate!"
None of the people present were fools. How could they not know what Luo Wuji was thinking?
To be honest, if it was possible, everyone present wanted to be the leader. After all, this was a chance to control all the forces in the Imperial Capital. Anyone with ambition would want to be the leader.
Unfortunately, they were people who knew their own limits. Whether it was their own strength or the strength of their own sects, there was a huge gap between them and Luo Wuji and the Luo Fu Sect behind him.
What right did they have to compete with Luo Wuji?
Luo Wuji was expressionless when he heard the praises and voices of support from the crowd. However, he was secretly delighted.
Unfortunately, he did not expect that he was not the only one among the Five Cauldrons Sects present.
At this moment, Palace Master Mu suddenly said, "If Sect Leader Luo is going to be the leader, then I'm sorry, but I have to leave first."
Luo Wuji was originally enjoying the feeling of being respected by everyone. However, when he heard Palace Master Mu's words, his face immediately turned gloomy. "Palace Master Mu, do you also want to compete with me for the leader position?"
Palace Master Mu cast a sidelong glance at Luo Wuji and said in an indifferent tone, "I'm not interested in the position of the Alliance Master. However, if Sect Leader Luo is going to be the leader, I think it's better not to join this alliance. "
Luo Wuji's eyes turned cold and he said in a sinister tone, "Are you looking down on me by saying that?"
Palace Master Mu smiled noncommittally and said, "I heard that Sect Leader Luo can't even manage his own sect well. Now that he's managing the forces of the entire Imperial Capital, I can guess what will happen next even if I don't think about it."
"You with the surname Mu, are you saying that I'm not fit to be the leader? This position should be reserved for you, right? "
Luo Wuji's voice was incomparably cold. It was clear that the anger in his heart had reached its limit and could explode at any time.
Palace Master Mu chuckled and shook his head, "I've already said that I'm not interested in the Alliance Leader's position. I just don't want my Mirage Flower Palace to be destroyed under Sect Master Luo's leadership. "
Hearing Palace Master Mu's words, everyone started discussing among themselves. Although everyone was afraid of Luo Wuji, they doubted Luo Wuji's leadership after hearing Palace Master Mu's words.
There were indeed cases of traitors in the Luo Fu sect under Luo Wuji's rule. Moreover, before the traitor Xin Chaohui was exposed, he was deeply trusted by Luo Wuji.
On top of that, Luo Wuji had yet to give an explanation for the disappearance of his disciples and elders.
How could they trust Luo Wuji?
Furthermore, they had the support of someone like Palace Master Mu. Even if the sky collapsed, there were tall people to hold it up, so they didn't have to be afraid of anything.
For a moment, doubts about Luo Wuji becoming the Alliance Leader grew louder and louder.
Luo Wuji's eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at the scene that was gradually spiraling out of control.
Fortunately, he was also a person of character. After his emotions fluctuated for a while, he gradually calmed down.
Then, he looked at Palace Master Mu with a cold smile and asked maliciously, "Palace Master Mu, since you don't agree with me being the Alliance Leader and you aren't interested in being the Alliance Leader, why don't you tell us if you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Palace Master Mu's expression remained the same. Her red lips curled up slightly as she said, "Sect Master Luo, have you forgotten that we are all subjects of the Cloud Emperor? Do you think that we need to nominate a candidate for the Alliance Leader? "
After her reminder, the people present finally remembered that there was a person in front of them that they had forgotten.
That's right. Although the imperial family was currently weak, there was no doubt that all the sects in the Yunhai Empire had to respect the imperial family, let alone the imperial family! As the Emperor of the Yunhai Empire, the Cloud Emperor was naturally the leader of everyone.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject requests that Your Majesty preside over the situation!"
Palace Master Mu took a step forward and bowed slightly in front of the Cloud Emperor. Her voice was sincere.
The rest of the people also chimed in, "Your Majesty, please preside over the situation!"
Luo Wuji looked at the people present. Although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything in the end.
Obviously, he knew that the situation had already been decided. He couldn't risk going against all the forces in the Yunhai Empire to fight for the position of the Alliance Leader.
Of course, he could also choose to leave the Alliance. Unfortunately, after Yi Chen returned, the news she brought him also made him realize that it was absolutely impossible for the Luo Fu Sect to resist the 'Dark Shadow' organisation by itself!
He was also very clear that it would be very difficult to stay out of this storm alone. The other forces might be able to do it, but the Luofu Sect couldn't.
First of all, the Luofu Sect was one of the strongest forces in the Yunhai Empire. A tall tree attracts the wind. The Dark Shadow would definitely not allow a large sect like the Luofu Sect to survive.
Moreover, during this period of time, he had gotten rid of many of the Dark Shadow's spies in the Luofu Sect. Xin Chaohui's death was also related to him.
Therefore, Luo Wuji had to borrow the strength of others to fight against the Dark Shadow.
This was also the reason why he still wanted to stay here even though he had suffered so much.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the Cloud Emperor didn't refuse. After all, to him, this was a great opportunity to raise the status of the Imperial Family. He didn't want to miss it, and he wouldn't miss it!
"My dear ministers, since you all think so highly of me, if I refuse, it would seem like I'm not sensible. If that's the case, then I'll be the Alliance Leader. "
The Cloud Emperor had a calm smile on his face. Then, he said, "However, it is indeed a little difficult for me to coordinate so many forces. Therefore, other than me, the Alliance Leader, I still want to find three Deputy Alliance Leaders. After some consideration, I already have a suitable candidate. "
As he spoke, the Cloud Emperor's gaze swept across Luo Wuji, Palace Master Mu, and Qin Yi.
Chapter 1471 – Blood of Iron Hand
"Sect Leader Luo, Palace Master Mu, and Palace Master Qin, the three of you will be the Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Wartime Alliance. If there's anything, we'll discuss it together. "
One had to admit that the Cloud Emperor's consideration was quite thorough. Not only did he calm the impatient Luo Wuji, but he also won over the hearts of the people.
"The three of you, do you have any objections to my decision?"
Palace Master Mu smiled warmly and said, "I have no objections."
Luo Wuji glanced at Qin Yi with displeasure. Then, he shook his head and said, "I have no objections either."
Obviously, he was still a little dissatisfied with the Cloud Emperor's action of promoting Qin Yi to be on equal footing with him.
If it had been in the past, he would definitely have stood up to refute the Cloud Emperor's words.
After all, Qin Yi was only the leader of a Four Cauldron Sect. What right did he have to be on equal footing with him, a Five Cauldron Sect Leader?
However, the situation was different now. After returning from the "Shadow" headquarters, Yi Chen had already told him everything she had seen and heard this time. Without a doubt, it would not be easy for Luo Wuji to deal with Qin Yi now!
Qin Yi must have a trump card that no one knew. Otherwise, how could he defeat a high-level Dao Change Realm expert?
Although Luo Wuji believed that he was a very powerful existence among the warriors of the same realm. An ordinary warrior of the same realm would not be his match.
Perhaps, if he went all out, he could kill Qin Yi. However, at the same time, he would definitely pay a painful price.
Obviously, he would not easily fight with Qin Yi unless he had no other choice.
After getting the approval of Luo Wuji and Palace Master Mu, a smile appeared on the Cloud Emperor's face again. "Regarding this war, I would like to hear the opinions of the three Deputy Alliance Leaders. Sect Leader Luo, why don't you go first? "
The Cloud Emperor turned his gaze to Luo Wuji and said in a very friendly tone.
Luo Wuji thought for a moment and said, "To deal with external threats, we must first stabilize the internal situation! Before the war starts, we must make the Imperial Capital as one piece of iron board. Only then can we focus on fighting the enemy. If there is a fire in our backyard, we will be too passive. "
Hearing this, Qin Yi immediately nodded. It must be said that after Xin Chaohui left, Luo Wuji had become much smarter.
Most importantly, this was Luo Wuji's own experience, so it was very convincing.
The Cloud Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Sect Leader Luo, do you have any suggestions or measures regarding this?"
At this moment, Luo Wuji shook his head and said, "The forces in the Imperial Capital are very complicated. It is impossible for me to understand every single force. I'm afraid it will not be easy to find the spy. "
Palace Master Mu's beautiful eyes darkened. For the first time, she agreed with Luo Wuji's words. "Sect Leader Luo is right. It is still possible to find the problematic forces. Most importantly, the war is imminent. We do not have time to find the traitors one by one. "
The Cloud Emperor smiled and nodded. Then, he turned his gaze to Qin Yi and said, "Qin Yi, I would like to hear your opinion."
The corner of Qin Yi's mouth curled up slightly. He said calmly, "Qin Mo, looking at how confident Your Majesty is, I don't think I need to say anything more."
The Cloud Emperor looked at Qin Yi for a while, then retracted his gaze and turned to the other people present. "Dear ministers, I would like to ask you. If we find out that there is an enemy spy among you, how should we deal with it?"
Without a doubt, the Cloud Emperor was not asking for their opinion. He wanted them to express their stance. After all, those who were present today had a certain level of influence in the Imperial Capital. To eliminate the traitors, one must have a certain level of confidence and strength.
If everyone present expressed their stance, it would mean that the Cloud Emperor had already tied these forces to himself.
Hearing the Cloud Emperor's words, everyone said, "Everyone has the right to kill traitors and evildoers! Once discovered, we should kill them immediately to prevent future troubles! "
"That's right! Those who help the evildoers should be torn into pieces! "
…
Soon, the Cloud Emperor said, "I am very pleased to receive the support of my dear ministers. Since everyone has reached a consensus, then … let's begin! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps came from outside the Cloud Emperor's study. Then, a large group of armored warriors rushed in. The one leading them was Commander Wu, who went to the Ji Family with Qin Yi previously!
"Take him down!"
Although Commander Wu's performance at the Ji Family previously was commendable, it was definitely not as domineering and decisive as he was now!
Following Commander Wu's order, the two deputies behind him led the troops and rushed into the crowd. Soon, about ten people were subdued and brought out.
Without a doubt, the Cloud Emperor had meticulously prepared for today's show for a long time. Now that he was taking action, the target was very clear. There was no delay.
The people who were being escorted out all had ashen faces. They lowered their heads as if they did not want others to see them clearly.
Only one person, although his hands were being held down, was still struggling. At the same time, he shouted, "Cloud Emperor, I am not convinced! My Chen Family has always been law-abiding in the Imperial Capital. We have never done anything that goes against reason and nature! Why are you arresting me? "
Hearing his words, everyone turned to look at him. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. This person had an ordinary appearance and a sincere and honest face, making people want to trust him at first glance.
After seeing the man's appearance, everyone could not help but wonder: Could it be that the Cloud Emperor really made a mistake?
There was a saying that one's appearance was born from one's heart. This person looked kind and did not look like someone who would go overboard.
The Cloud Emperor obviously saw the doubt in everyone's eyes. Immediately, his gaze fell on the middle-aged man with the surname Chen. Then, a communication amulet suddenly appeared in his hand.
As he poured spiritual energy into it, the communication amulet began to burn. The voice that was exactly the same as the middle-aged man with the surname Chen rang throughout the entire study room.
"Subordinate Chen Bin, the Chen Family is ready. When the Cloud Emperor attacks, we will attack from within and support the Cloud Emperor!"
Hearing this voice, everyone's expression changed instantly. The way they looked at Chen Bin gradually became unfriendly.
As for Chen Bin himself, his face was ashen. It was obvious that he knew that no matter how he argued, it was useless.
"As for the rest of you, it is a good thing that my evidence did not come in handy."
The Cloud Emperor smiled. Then, his voice suddenly became incomparably cold. "Commander Wu, take him away and kill him without mercy!"
Chapter 1472 – Bet Before the Battle
After doing all this, the Cloud Emperor's expression was as cold as ever.
His gaze swept across the crowd unhurriedly. Then, he smiled and said, "I know that there are people among you who are related to the 'Dark Shadow'."
As he spoke, the Cloud Emperor's gaze stopped on some of the people present. When those people were stared at by the Cloud Emperor, they lowered their heads guiltily.
"However, seeing that you have not really started to take action, I will not pursue this matter for the time being."
The Cloud Emperor clasped his hands behind his back. The smile on his face made him look very confident. "After all, during this crucial period, all of you are the main fighting force of the Imperial Capital! However, I hope that all of you will never underestimate the intelligence system of the Imperial Capital. "
The crowd suddenly fell into a deathly silence. The strength of the young Emperor in front of them was not considered high. Among so many people, the strength of a Dao Change Realm Level Two could only be considered average. However, for some unknown reason, this young man, who had neither strength nor experience, actually made many people who had lived for hundreds of years feel a heavy pressure.
It was as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on their backs, making it hard for them to breathe.
"I believe that among all of you, there should be people who are familiar with or close to the few people who have just been exposed, right?"
The Cloud Emperor looked at the crowd with a smile and said faintly, "Although we have already taken care of their leaders, their forces still exist. Everyone, please work together to eliminate the rest of them! As for the distribution of their resources, let's leave it to the neighboring forces to distribute. Does anyone have any objections to this? "
The Cloud Emperor's decision seemed a little rash, but in fact, it was the best solution at the moment. After all, if they were too far away from these forces, even if they were allocated resources, they might not be able to make good use of them.
Most importantly, there were so many forces present. If every force wanted to distribute resources, the benefits that they could really get would be too little.
The Cloud Emperor looked around and said, "This matter concerns the entire city. I hope that none of you will have any selfish motives. I will send people to supervise. If anyone is found to have not done their best, they will be punished according to military law! "
The scene was silent. The Cloud Emperor's words directly extinguished the thoughts of those who were scheming.
"Alright, everyone, please go back and make preparations! Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the detailed battle strategy! "
The method that the Cloud Emperor displayed just now was not only to clear the obstacles that hindered the war, but also to make an example and take the opportunity to establish his authority. Now that he had spoken, almost no one dared to say a word of objection. They all took their leave.
As for Qin Yi and the others who were just appointed as deputy leaders, they were left behind by the Cloud Emperor to discuss countermeasures.
"My three dear ministers, you are now the people that I rely on the most. I hope that you can put forward your own plans."
When the Cloud Emperor said this, his eyes were fixed on Qin Yi. Without a doubt, what he wanted to hear the most now was Qin Yi's opinion.
After all, Qin Yi was someone who came from the headquarters of the "Dark Shadow". He was more familiar with the situation inside. Therefore, no matter what, his opinion would be very important.
Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "I think that the rest of the fighting forces are not that important. We can even ignore them. Now, what we need to worry about the most is the real core fighting force of the "Dark Shadow" organization. In other words, the King of Shadows and his nineteen shadow guards! "
"Hmph!"
After hearing this, Luo Wuji instantly let out a cold snort. "Qin Yi, I should not stop you from talking big. However, do you think that this is an occasion where you can talk big? Don't you know that any word we say now will affect the entire situation of the battle?! It involves the life and death of the entire city? "
Qin Yi nodded and said, "This, Qin Mo naturally knows. However, on what basis is Lord Luo so sure that what Qin Mo said just now was a joke? "
"Since you said that what you said was not a joke, then it's very simple. Palace Lord Qin can let your Yin-Yang Academy resist the tens of thousands of troops excluding the King of Shadows and the shadow guards."
The corners of Luo Wuji's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a cold tone, "If you can do it, I will naturally believe you."
Qin Yi looked at Luo Wuji calmly and said, "What Lord Luo means is that you want to make a bet with Qin Mo?"
Luo Wuji said without hesitation, "If you want to bet, I will pay you! If you win, I will personally apologize to you in front of everyone! If you lose, I think Palace Lord Qin will not have the chance to give me anything. Forget it. "
Emperor Yun and Palace Master Mu frowned when they heard Luo Wuji's words. Obviously, they also knew that Luo Wuji was deliberately provoking Qin Yi.
Among the tens of thousands of troops, there were at least a few hundred experts above the Dao Change Realm. Such an army could completely crush any sect or force in the Imperial Capital.
Moreover, although the current Yin-Yang Academy was on the rise, its overall strength was still relatively weak.
With the current fighting strength of the academy, it was no different from hitting a rock with an egg!
However, Emperor Yun and Palace Lord Mu were not too worried. After all, Qin Yi was not a fool. This kind of thing was obviously impossible. How could he accept it?
However, they soon realized that they were wrong. Not only did Qin Yi not reject, but he also asked rather excitedly, "Lord Luo, are you serious?"
Hearing this, Luo Wuji was shocked. "I originally just wanted to use this opportunity to dampen this kid's spirit. I didn't expect him to really accept it."
However, he soon thought of something and frowned. "That guy has never played his cards according to common sense. Could it be that he really has some sort of special technique that can stop his opponent?"
To be honest, in the past six months, Luo Wuji had been scared by Qin Yi's endless means.
Now, every time he heard Qin Yi speak, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Qin Yi looked at Luo Wuji, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up. "Sect Master Luo, since this is a bet, the stakes should be fair. How about this, Lord Luo, if Qin Mo loses, Qin Mo will return the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow that he borrowed from you. If Lord Luo is afraid that Qin Mo will die in the battle, you can rest assured that you won't be able to fulfill your promise. "
Qin Yi paused and then said, "Yin-Yang Academy will not participate in the battle. Qin Mo can block the army outside the city by himself!"
Chapter 1473 – Battle Strategy
"What did you say? Are you going to do this alone? "
All of a sudden, Luo Wuji felt the dark clouds covering his heart disappear without a trace. Sunlight pierced through the sky and shone on his heart, giving him an incomparably comfortable feeling.
"I thought this kid had prepared some powerful battle formation for the Yin-Yang Academy disciples. Now it seems that you're just courting death! Since that's the case, if I don't fulfill his wish, wouldn't it be too unreasonable? "
Obviously, if he was alone, Luo Wuji wouldn't have to worry about what Qin Yi would do.
After all, there were hundreds of Dao Change Realm martial artists here. Even he, Luo Wuji, would have to think twice if he wanted to charge in alone. Moreover, there were thousands of martial artists around these 500 Dao Change Realm martial artists.
Under such absolute suppression, even if Qin Yi had some tricks up his sleeve, he would still be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He would only be digging his own grave!
Most importantly, if Qin Yi fails, the Sunslaying Bow will return to his hands. This was something that he had been thinking about for a long time.
The Sunslaying Bow was the treasure of the Luofu Sect. It had been in the Luofu Sect for countless years and generations.
Today, the Sunslaying Bow was lost when it was in his hands.
It was obvious that this wasn't just about his reputation, it was also about the future of his sect.
Therefore, he had to accept this bet!
"Sect Leader Luo, are you going to accept or not?"
At this moment, Qin Yi impatiently urged.
Luo Wuji raised an eyebrow and quickly said, "Yes! Why not? Qin Yi, you set the rules of this bet. Don't regret it later! "
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Sect Leader Luo, you don't have to worry about this! Qin Mo is not someone who goes back on his word! But if that's the case, then your bet is a little too low. "
"What did you say?" Luo Wuji raised an eyebrow and said angrily, "Do you think that my reputation as a Sect Leader is worth less than a treasure?"
Qin Yi chuckled and shook his head.
Luo Wuji was enraged. He almost went berserk and killed Qin Yi with one palm. But when he thought about Qin Yi's miserable state, he calmed down, "Then tell me, what do you want to bet?"
Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "How about this, if Qin Mo wins, Qin Mo wants Sect Leader Luo to promise that within a hundred years, the Luofu Sect will not cause trouble for the Yin-Yang Academy!"
Luo Wuji hesitated when he heard this. If Yin-Yang Academy was given a hundred years, then, without a doubt, with Yin-Yang Academy's current momentum, they would once again become a powerful sect that surpassed the Luofu Sect!
It has to be said that the feeling of being stepped on by one's opponent was not a good one!
So when he heard this request, his first reaction was to reject it!
But when he thought about it, he felt that it was only an empty promise. He relaxed and nodded, "Take it that I sympathize with your Yin-Yang Academy. I can agree to this promise!"
Qin Yi's face turned cold and his tone changed, "Sect Leader Luo, don't be mistaken. You are not sympathizing, you are repaying a debt! "
Qin Yi had already found out the truth of the matter. At that time, it was Luo Wuji and the other three sects that worked together to kill all the elite disciples of the Yin-Yang Academy.
The Yin-Yang Academy that lost its elite disciples never recovered and lived a hundred years of humiliation.
Now that Qin Yi told Luo Wuji not to touch the Yin-Yang Academy for a hundred years, he wanted Luo Wuji and the Luofu Sect behind him to repay the academy for the hundred years they wasted!
Now that Luo Wuji blurted out the word "sympathize", Qin Yi would never agree to it!
Looking at Qin Yi's cold face, even Luo Wuji felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
He did not continue to speak, as if he agreed with Qin Yi's words.
"Good! Now that the bet has been made, Sect Leader Luo, you have no room to regret. "
Luo Wuji laughed coldly, "Why would I regret? On the other hand, Qin Yi, when you are on the battlefield, I do not want to see you crying and regretting. "
Seeing that the bet had been made, Emperor Yun knew that the matter was out of his control, so he did not say anything else. Instead, he continued and brought the topic back to business. "Just like what Qin Yi said, what we really need to pay attention to is the top combat power of the 'Dark Shadow'. There are twenty high-level Dao Change Realm experts on the other side, and there is also a King of Shadows whose strength is still unknown. How should we deal with them? "
Palace Master Mu thought for a while and said, "I feel that although there are many people on the other side, not all of them are very strong."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Palace Lord Mu's words are correct. Qin Mo has already come into contact with these people, so he has some understanding of their strength. The King of Shadows has a total of twenty Shadow Guards. Xin Chaohui, who died last time, was Shadow Five. Other than Shadow Five, there are nineteen others! They are ranked in order from Shadow One to Shadow Twenty, and their strength gradually decreases. "
"If I am not wrong, the ones leading the front line on the battlefield should be Shadow Eleven to Shadow Twenty. Although they are fierce, their strength is definitely not comparable to Palace Master Mu and Sect Leader Luo. In fact, one of you can even deal with a few of them. "
Hearing this, Palace Master Mu's expression softened a little, but she quickly said, "Even if one of us can hold a few of them back, you have also said that there are nine more powerful people above them. Two fists can't fight against four hands, how can we succeed? "
At this moment, Emperor Yun suddenly thought of something. "Qin Yi, you are quite accomplished in the formation. Can you use the formation to kill a few of the Shadow Guards?"
Hearing this, Qin Yi laughed and said, "Since Emperor Yun has said this, I will naturally not hide it. From Shadow Eleven to Shadow Twenty, I will lure these ten experts into the formation and kill them. "
Emperor Yun's eyes lit up and said, "If you can really accomplish what you promised, you will be the first in this battle!"
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Qin Mo is only doing what he can. However, the remaining nine people are the real problem. Especially Shadow One, from my observations, he's much stronger than even Sect Master Luo. "
Although these words hurt Luo Wuji's pride, it was indeed the truth.
"Leave that Shadow One to this old man!"
Chapter 1474: Sacred Valley Old Ancestor
At this moment, the figure of an old man suddenly appeared outside the study.
The old man was not tall and was as thin as a match. His eyes were deeply sunken in, making him look like a skeleton. The black cloak he wore fluttered even though there was no wind, making his body look like it was swelling up.
Most importantly, the old man's body was emitting an extremely terrifying aura. Looking at the old man in front of him, Qin Yi even had the illusion that the old man could easily crush him to death with a casual stretch of his hand.
"Who is this person?"
Qin Yi searched through his memory and found that there was no information about this person in his memory.
At this moment, Emperor Yun walked to Qin Yi's side and whispered to Qin Yi, "This old man is called Lu Qingfeng, he is the hidden Old Ancestor of the Sacred Valley."
After saying this, Emperor Yun also raised his head and smiled. "Oh, it is Old Ancestor Lu. What a rare guest. Please come in!"
Lu Qingfeng did not stand on ceremony and walked straight in from the door. His movements looked very slow, and his steps were also very small. He looked like an ordinary old man, as if he would fall to the ground if he took too big a step.
However, the distance covered by this seemingly small step was extremely terrifying. In the blink of an eye, the old man was standing in front of Qin Yi.
Facing the old man's gaze, Qin Yi had an illusion that all his secrets were exposed in front of the old man.
"You are Qin Yi, right?"
Suddenly, a threatening chill went from the soles of his feet to Qin Yi's head. At this moment, he felt as if he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Even his soul had been sucked out by the old man.
Fortunately, Qin Yi's soul was far stronger than ordinary people's. After a short moment of absent-mindedness, he quickly regained his senses.
Immediately, he straightened his body and met Lu Qingfeng's gaze. He said calmly, "Junior Qin Yi greets Old Ancestor Lu!"
The old man stared at Qin Yi for a while. After a while, he looked away and nodded. "Not bad, not bad."
Then, he turned and walked to the front of Emperor Yun. He cupped his hands and said, "This old man greets Emperor Yun!"
Facing Lu Qingfeng, Emperor Yun did not dare to slight him. He immediately went forward and supported him. "Old Ancestor Lu, you don't have to be so polite. Please get up."
Lu Qingfeng straightened his body, and Emperor Yun hurriedly asked someone to bring over a chair for him to sit.
"May I know why Old Ancestor Lu is here today?"
Lu Qingfeng said indifferently, "This old man's son went out with Little You Qin and hasn't returned. Today, I learned that Little You Qin and Emperor Yun are discussing the war of resistance. Out of worry, this old man had to come uninvited. I hope Emperor Yun can forgive this old man for trespassing the imperial city. "
One had to admit that this old man's etiquette was really thorough. He had trespassed without permission, but he just said something like 'please forgive' and let the matter go.
After all, the world of martial arts was a world where the strong ruled. Lu Qingfeng's strength was unfathomable. Emperor Yun could not do anything to him even if his etiquette was lacking.
"Old Ancestor Lu, what are you talking about? This alliance should have been led by Old Ancestor Lu. However, Old Ancestor Lu's whereabouts are mysterious, and I can't find him. "
"Hehe." Lu Qingfeng chuckled. Then, he ignored Emperor Yun and turned his gaze to Qin Yi. "Little You Qin, can you tell me where my useless son is now?"
"Old man, you want to punish me? I want to see what you can do to me."
Qin Yi said in his heart. He smiled and said, "Valley Master Lu has his own hands and feet. With my strength, I can't stop him. Where he wants to go, I really don't know."
Lu Qingfeng's old face instantly darkened. A faint pressure quietly descended on Qin Yi's head.
"Young Friend Qin, this old man doesn't believe what you've just said. The disciples of Sacred Valley saw with their own eyes that you boarded my son's space-breaking boat and went out with him. Now, all of you are back. But I don't see my son. Could it be that … the few of you joined forces to kill my son? "
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. The air seemed to solidify, and everyone felt that it was difficult to breathe.
It had to be said that Lu Qingfeng's strength was indeed very high. It seemed that this old monster, after not appearing for so many years, had not been idle for even a moment.
Even under the tremendous pressure, the expression on Qin Yi's face did not change in the slightest. He said calmly, "Senior's actions are nothing more than to force Qin Mo to tell you the answer you want. Whether I tell you or not, my ending will be the same. I was tortured and forced to confess. It's nothing more than Senior having a legitimate reason to kill me. "
Then, Qin Yi closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate. "Anyway, Senior's strength is tyrannical. No one can stop you if you want to kill someone. It's the same whether you have a reason or not. Why would I want to add a crime to myself? Senior, please do whatever you want. I will not fight back, and I have no power to fight back. "
Lu Qingfeng looked at Qin Yi indifferently. A moment later, the powerful pressure that accumulated in the room instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Little You Qin, please forgive me. I'm just anxious to find the murderer. I have no ill intentions towards you."
Lu Qingfeng said that he was apologizing, but there was not the slightest hint of apology on his face. There was no doubt that Qin Yi had taken a trip to the gates of hell just now. If not for the lack of evidence, he would not hesitate to kill Qin Yi!
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Emperor Yun and said, "Your Majesty, my son is dead, and the Abyss Sacred Valley is without a leader. This old man has no choice but to temporarily take over the Sacred Valley. Now, the battle in the Imperial Capital is imminent. As a part of the Imperial Capital, the Sacred Valley is duty-bound to share Your Majesty's worries! "
It had to be said that Lu Qingfeng was indeed an old monster who had become shrewd with age. His view of the overall situation was completely different from Lu Fengyao's. Now that the Abyss Sacred Valley was weak, if they wanted to improve their status, they must maintain the same front as the current forces in the Imperial Capital.
Emperor Yun's face lit up and he quickly said, "If Elder Lu can help, the odds of winning this battle will increase by a few points!"
Lu Qingfeng said again, "This old man is not talented, but I implore Your Majesty to let this old man deal with Shadow One to Shadow Four."
Emperor Yun laughed and said, "It is our great fortune to have someone like Elder Lu to share our burdens! Here, I thank Elder Lu in advance. "
Shadow One to Shadow Four would be dealt with by Lu Qingfeng, and the remaining five should not be a problem for Luo Wuji and Palace Master Mu.
"Now, the only and biggest problem is that mysterious Lord of Shadows."
Speaking of this person, Emperor Yun's brows instantly furrowed.
Chapter 1475 – Emperor Yun's Warning
"Qin Yi, among those present, only you have contact with Lord of Shadows."
Emperor Yun looked at Qin Yi expectantly and said, "I wonder how much information you can provide about Lord of Shadows."
Qin Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "This guy is hiding behind the screen, blocking vision and divine sense, so I can't observe him."
What Qin Yi said was indeed the truth.
When he was first brought into the palace, he tried to observe Lord of Shadows. Unfortunately, the final result would only disappoint him.
This Lord of Shadows, who even hid himself in his own territory, seemed to want to keep himself hidden in a cloud of fog, so that no one knew his background.
After all, people always had a mentality of reverence towards the unknown and mysterious. Just like how the night made people vigilant, and the day made people relaxed, this was an instinct that everyone had.
Of course, he was not completely unaware of Lord of Shadows. After all, Lord of Shadows had personally asked him for Elder Xiao Anran's inheritance, which meant that he must be related to Elder Xiao Anran. It was even possible that this Lord of Shadows was one of the three traitorous disciples of Elder Xiao.
However, this was related to the deepest secret in Qin Yi's heart, and it was related to his strongest trump card. For safety's sake, he would never reveal anything like this.
"Really, not even a little bit?"
Emperor Yun looked at Qin Yi with slight disappointment, but he still did not give up.
Qin Yi smiled bitterly for a while, then shook his head.
Emperor Yun frowned and said, "If that's the case, then it will be too difficult to deal with Lord of Shadows. If we can't get rid of him, 'Shadow' will exist forever! "
At this time, Luo Wuji and Palace Master Mu said, "It seems like we can only ask our ancestors to come out and deal with this mysterious enemy together."
Like the Sacred Valley, the Luofu Sect and Mirage Flower Palace also had a reclusive ancestor. However, because they had left the world long ago, they were no longer interested in anything that happened in the mortal world.
As for the Mirage Flower Palace's ancestor, because he had taken Xia Ji as a disciple, she had come into people's attention.
As for the Luofu Sect's ancestor, like Lu Qingfeng, they had never shown themselves in front of outsiders.
If it wasn't for Lu Fengyao's death, Lu Qingfeng would not have appeared in front of the public.
Although these old fellows usually did not show themselves, there was no doubt that they represented the pinnacle of the Yunhai Empire's combat power.
Usually, when they needed to take action, the situation would be out of control and they might even face annihilation.
However, facing a mysterious enemy like Lord of Shadows, no matter what methods they used, it would not be too much.
"If we can ask the other two seniors to help, then things will be much easier."
Emperor Yun smiled and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you to go back and prepare. According to my estimations, if the enemy's speed is normal, he will arrive tomorrow. Today is the last day, so I hope that you can conserve your energy and prepare for the battle tomorrow! "
"Yes!"
Lu Qingfeng, Luo Wuji, and Palace Master Mu stood up and left the Cloud Emperor's study. Qin Yi was the only one who stayed behind.
With only the two of them left, Emperor Yun's tone became more amiable. "Qin Yi, the flames of war will soon reach us. To be honest, I'm most worried about them. "
Obviously, Emperor Yun was talking about Yun Die 'er and the others.
As a member of the clan, Emperor Yun cared a lot about his brothers who were around the same age as him. Especially Yun Die 'er, who was his biological sister. Now that danger was upon them, it was inevitable that he would be worried.
"I don't know what kind of worry Emperor Yun is having. Are you worried that they will be afraid, or are you worried that they will encounter danger? "
Qin Yi looked at Emperor Yun and asked calmly.
Emperor Yun let out a sigh and said, "Both. Die 'er and the others have not experienced much hardship since they were born. Now that danger is so close, I'm afraid that they will feel uneasy. You know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If something happens to them, how will I explain it to the other clansmen? Qin Yi, can you tell me what arrangements you have for them? "
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "There are no special arrangements. Although they are members of the royal family, they are also disciples of the academy. I have already organized them and incorporated them into the academy. "
Emperor Yun frowned and said, "I'm still worried about them …"
Qin Yi interrupted Emperor Yun's words and said, "Emperor Yun, your worries are unnecessary. Time will prove to you that they are really outstanding! "
Qin Yi's simple words stirred up waves in Emperor Yun's heart.
They are outstanding!
Simple and clear!
However, Emperor Yun's heart was instantly at ease! He no longer hesitated when he looked at Qin Yi. Instead, there was more determination and gratitude.
"One more thing." Emperor Yun suddenly thought of something and said, "Qin Yi, you must be careful of Lu Qingfeng!"
Qin Yi smiled faintly and said, "I know about this. I will be careful."
Emperor Yun frowned when he saw Qin Yi's indifferent attitude. "It seems that you still don't know how scary this old man is! If Lu Fengyao is a vicious wolf, then his father, Lu Qingfeng, is a ferocious tiger! "
"Back then, when the Abyss Sacred Valley was still one of the Four Cauldrons Sects, Lu Qingfeng would occasionally show his face in some important occasions. At that time, there was an elder of one of the Three Cauldrons Sects who inadvertently glanced at him. Perhaps it was because his gaze was a little strange, but this old man turned around and ran to that elder's sect. He single-handedly destroyed the entire sect. In the end, that elder was so ashamed and angry that he committed suicide! "
"Did you think that it was over just like that? No! After the death of the elder, the old man forcibly found all the relatives related to the elder and exterminated the nine generations of their clans. After that, he left behind a sentence of 'if you don't remove the roots, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows' and calmly left. "
From this, it could be seen how ruthless and narrow-minded Lu Qingfeng was. Without a doubt, those who offended him, as long as they were not as strong as him, would definitely suffer the most vicious revenge!
