Zhuge Zimo thought that he had done all he could for them. After all, they had been targeting him ever since he had ascended to the throne.
However, even though he was angry, he didn't take any forceful measures.
This wasn't to say that he was weak. It was because Zhuge Zimo wanted to give them some face in the face of such a situation. He didn't want them to feel awkward when they met.
But now, he finally realized that even though he would show them some mercy, it didn't mean that they would show him the same.
Just like now, he had already made things clear. It was obvious that he didn't want to hear such words again.
He could be hurt and attacked, but he didn't want the people he respected to be slandered and humiliated because of him!
These people's actions were similar to stabbing a knife in Zhuge Zimo's heart.
Without a doubt, the anger in Zhuge Zimo's heart had already risen to the extreme in this situation.
However, he didn't know what he should do to shut these people up.
After all, they were all from the same race. Even though Zhuge Zimo wanted to establish his authority quickly after ascending to the throne, he didn't want to kill people to establish his authority.
Right now, the Deity Race was already considered relatively weak. There were very few people and there was a problem with their bloodline. If they continued to cause internal losses to the Deity Race, it would make the already weak Deity Race even weaker.
Zhuge Zimo had never killed people before, so he was a little worried.
Most importantly, he was afraid that if he killed people now, it would aggravate the internal conflict in the Deity Race.
He needed people now. If there was a situation that he couldn't control, it would be meaningless for him to be the Divine King.
Just as he was feeling troubled, Zhuge Mengyao spoke.
"Zimo, you still lack the decisiveness and ruthlessness of a leader!"
Zhuge Mengyao didn't look at Zhuge Zimo. Instead, she locked her gaze on someone in front of her.
This person looked to be in his thirties. He wasn't considered old among the people present, but he was definitely not the youngest.
His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhuge Zimo and even Zhuge Mengyao. It could be seen that they were related by blood.
Most importantly, this person was the one who had been the most ferocious. He was also the one who had been trying to smear Qin Yi's name and take the opportunity to slander Zhuge Zimo.
After feeling Zhuge Mengyao's sharp gaze, the man's gaze was a little evasive at first, before he met her gaze and said, "Aunt Mengyao, even if you look at me like this, I still have to say it! Zhuge Zimo is the scourge of our Deity Race. If he were to sit on the Divine King's throne, he would definitely join hands with Qin Yi in the future. He would turn our Deity Race upside down and cause chaos! "
Zhuge Mengyao's gaze was slightly cold as she looked at him and said, "Zhuge Ziming, you keep saying that Zimo and Qin Yi are in cahoots with each other and have done things to harm the Deity Race. Then let me ask you, where is your evidence?"
When Zhuge Ziming heard this, he was stunned at first. Then, he rolled his eyes and shouted, "Qin Yi and the Deity Race are enemies. This is an indisputable fact that everyone in the Deity Race can see! He is the enemy of our Deity Race, a target that we must eliminate! And everyone knows that Qin Yi is a cruel and merciless person. He doesn't show any mercy to his enemies. Zhuge Zimo was captured by Qin Yi before, but he returned safely in the end! If it was under normal circumstances, how could he be so fast and still be standing in front of us in such a good condition? So, I'm sure that Zhuge Zimo and Qin Yi are in cahoots. The two of them must have done something that is detrimental to our Deity Race! "
"This is the evidence?"
Zhuge Mengyao raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "This is just a lie you made up with your own imagination! Taking a step back, even if the hypothesis you made before is true, and Zimo and Qin Yi have a close relationship, what does that mean? Touch your own conscience and say, during this period of time, has Qin Yi done anything detrimental to the Deity Race? He and my father, who is your grandfather, have already reached an agreement. Both sides have clarified the previous matters. It was a misunderstanding that led to it. Could it be that you didn't hear these words? "
"Hmph!"
Zhuge Ziming snorted coldly and said, "Of course I heard it. It's just that Grandpa Divine King was seriously injured at that time, and his consciousness was already a little fuzzy. Who knows what methods you used to control him! "
"Good! What a good method to control him! "
When she heard this, Zhuge Mengyao didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled. However, this smile hid a strong killing intent!
In order to save the Divine King, Qin Yi had put in a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot. Others might not understand, and even Zhuge Zimo understood, but Zhuge Mengyao saw it clearly.
When Qin Yi walked out of this palace, he almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. As a mother, she could only stand at the side and worry helplessly. She couldn't help at all!
But now, when faced with the results of Qin Yi's hard work, it was actually regarded as a method to control the former Divine King, Zhuge Xiuzhu!
At this moment, Zhuge Mengyao felt that her heart was about to turn cold!
Back then, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to not let the Deity Race suffer heavy losses, she gave up the battle with her father and chose to be captured without putting up a fight.
Although it was mostly to protect her husband and son, it was also for the good of the Deity Race at the same time.
She had grown up under the teachings of the Divine King, so she knew a lot about the deeds of her grandfather, Zhuge Qingtian. She had a deep love for the Deity Race from the bottom of her heart.
Even if she had already reached that step, she had always been thinking about the future of the Deity Race.
But now, she suddenly realized that her previous thoughts seemed a little ridiculous.
The Deity Race, especially Zhuge Ziming in front of her, had no need for her to use twenty years of freedom to protect them!
Her heart was cold. It was completely cold!
"Zhuge Ziming, although you are speaking in a dignified manner, don't you think that it's very hypocritical for you to say such things in your own mind?"
