"Hehe, how can we just let this go?"
Wei Ruhu looked at the head of the First Prince. His expression was still unforgiving, but he was secretly happy.
During the era of the Fallen Immortals, resources were scarce.
Even a major force like Dongxuan Immortal Sect, which had a deep heritage and more resources, could not hold up against their huge businesses. When the resources were distributed to specific people, it became less.
Wei Rulong was the great elder's most beloved great-grandson. Even though he was a wastrel in cultivation and had an extremely weak willpower, he still received more resources than Wei Ruhu.
Now, Wei Rulong was dead.
Wei Ruhu was the only great-grandson of the Great Elder.
Wei Rulong's share in the past had become Wei Ruhu's.
How could Wei Ruhu not be excited?
However, his thoughts were much deeper than Wei Rulong's. He naturally did not dare to show such an expression on his face. In fact, he even had to pretend to be indignant at the injustice.
"No matter what, he died in the territory of the Extreme Emperor Cliff. Moreover, it was your prince who killed him. Handing over the murderer is not enough. You have to compensate for it."
Wei Ruhu was not going to let them off easily.
When the officials of the Extreme Emperor Cliff heard this, their expressions changed.
He was being insatiable.
On the other hand, the new Emperor was extremely calm.
"Young Master Wei's request is not too much. The Extreme Emperor Cliff is willing to express our sincerity. I have already prepared a thousand catties of immortal crystals, five hundred catties of Lapis Lazuli wood, five hundred catties of Fire Source Ores, five hundred catties of Ice Cloud Ores..."
The new Emperor said amiably.
What?
When the officials heard this, they were instantly stunned.
This was a huge sum of money.
This kind of compensation was probably... probably a little humiliating. Why was there a need to be afraid of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect? Wouldn't they be a laughing stock if word got out?
Even Xiao Xiao was a little surprised and doubtful.
His Majesty seemed to have changed a lot.
When Wei Ruhu heard the compensation, he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears and that he had heard wrongly.
He was just casually extorting some resources for himself, but he didn't expect to receive such a huge compensation. It was like asking for sesame seeds and getting a watermelon. Instantly, he felt dizzy, as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
"The new Emperor of the Extreme Emperor Cliff is too young. It seems like he is just a coward who wants to live a peaceful life. He only cares about the stability of his throne. Even if he has to spend all the wealth of the country, it doesn't matter. Hehe, if that's the case … why not test him again?"
Wei Ruhu was the epitome of being insatiable.
He suppressed the happiness in his heart and said lightly, "Hmm, I can accept such compensation. However, material compensation is not enough. The officials of the Extreme Huang Cliff need to apologize in front of my brother's body."
"What?"
"Don't go too far."
"Arrogant. Do you really think that the Extreme Emperor Cliff is afraid of you?"
Many ministers of the Extreme King Cliff were filled with righteous indignation. They glared at Wei Rulong and the others as though they had been slapped in the face.
For a time, they seemed to be at daggers drawn.
Even the new Emperor showed a trace of displeasure on his face.
However, when he thought of the alliance with the messenger of the Donghuang God Dynasty, he hesitated.
Since they were putting on a show, why not make it more complete?
Just as Wei Rulong was thinking about this, Li Mu, who was standing at the side, suddenly stepped forward. His eyes were wide open, and his gaze was like a knife. He stared at Wei Rulong and shouted sternly, "Young Master Wei, our emperor has already expressed enough sincerity. Don't push your luck!"
Wei Rulong felt a little guilty under Li Mu's sharp gaze.
But very quickly, a feeling of anger and humiliation spread through the air.
Li Mu continued, "Asking the leader of the Extreme King Cliff to bow to Wei Rulong's corpse is a blatant humiliation. It is absolutely impossible. If you insist, you can only bring his corpse back. Prepare for war. The Extreme King Cliff is not afraid of anything."
Wei Rulong was furious when he heard that.
"Shut up. Who do you think you are? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? "As he spoke, he lifted his leg and kicked.
Li Mu's face turned cold. He suppressed his anger and dodged.
Wei Ruhu turned to look at the new Emperor and said coldly, "Do the words of this ignorant bug represent your will? In that case, I will reply to the head of my faction. Hahaha. "
"Step down," the new Emperor looked at Li Mu and shouted, "If you don't follow the rules, your salary will be forfeited for a year."
"Your Majesty …" Li Mu still wanted to say something.
The new Emperor's tone turned cold. "What? Don't you listen to my words? "
"I dare not. I will follow your orders." Li Mu lowered his head.
That scene was witnessed by many people around. They looked at Li Mu with gloating eyes.
He was too arrogant.
Relying on the fact that he was favored, he talked nonsense regardless of the occasion and status. Now, he was in trouble.
Only Xiao Xiao looked at Li Mu with more and more complicated eyes. Unconsciously, he even began to feel a little jealous.
Because he was very clear about one thing.
At this moment, the new Emperor's attitude towards Li Mu was definitely not one of disgust or contempt.
In fact, Xiao Xiao's guess was right.
The new Emperor admired Li Mu more and more.
He knew Li Mu was trying to save his face.
This commander of the imperial guards was really loyal to him. Everything he did was for his sake.
What a loyal subject.
Unfortunately, Mu Mu did not know the contents of the covenant between him and the Donghuang Divine Dynasty.
At this time, he needed to endure hardships and show his weakness to the enemy.
On the surface, he seemed to be reprimanding Li Mu, but in fact, he thought highly of him.
Wei Ruhu's eyes wandered between the new Emperor and Li Mu.
Actually, he was very clear in his heart that asking the new Emperor of a great Celestial Dynasty to bow and apologize to Wei Rulong's corpse was a very difficult thing to do, and it would probably be very difficult to achieve.
In that case …
Well.
A thought suddenly surfaced in Wei Ruhu's mind.
"Hehe, since His Majesty is unwilling to bow and apologize, I'll take a step back. You can find someone of sufficient stature to bow on His Majesty's behalf. Hehe …" As he spoke, Wei Ruhu's eyes fell on Li Mu. With a sinister smile, he mocked, "I've heard that this Lord Mu Mu is now a popular figure in the imperial court. Hehe, why don't you let him wear mourning clothes and send my elder brother off? Hahaha, how about that?"
Swish, swish, swish!
All eyes were on Li Mu at once.
The pressure was on Li Mu.
"Damn it."
Li Mu immediately wrote the word 'death' for Wei Ruhu in his heart.
"If you don't die, I'll read the name 'Mu Mu' backwards."
"What should I do now?"
"Do I really have to wear mourning clothes?"
"No."
"I can't bear this injustice."
"But if I don't go, then the 'loyal emperor' persona that I've tried so hard to play will be ruined."
Li Mu felt very melancholy.
"Do I have to maintain this persona?"
The new emperor frowned and said, "Let the ministers of the Huangji Cliff wear mourning clothes for your elder brother?"
"This is also a humiliation."
"Preposterous!"
"How arrogant."
The ministers couldn't accept it for a moment.
It was not because they were very protective of Li Mu.
It was because this request was not only an insult to Mu Mu, but also a slap in the face of the Huangji Cliff and every one of them.
After all, Mu Mu was a second-class official of the Huangji Cliff.
He was bound together with them for good or bad.
Wei Ruhu sneered and said, "What? I've already taken a step back. Don't you have any sincerity? "
He looked at Li Mu with a sneer on his face and said, "Mu Mu, weren't you very willing to share the burden of His Majesty just now? Why don't you take the initiative to show your loyalty? It seems that the so-called loyal minister is just so-so. Hahaha, ridiculous. "
Li Mu sneered and walked to Wei Rulong's coffin. He cupped his hands and bowed.
This man had been arrogant and despotic in the imperial city of the Huangji Cliff. He should have been killed a long time ago. Receiving this bow was already a good thing for him.
A cupped fist salute was nothing much.
"I've bowed. That's it."
Li Mu turned around and looked at Wei Ruhu. He said indifferently, "I am a second-class official of the Huangji Cliff. Wearing mourning clothes, where is the dignity of the Huangji Cliff? Don't push things too far. "
Wei Ruhu sneered, "Are you f * cking kidding me? Who do you think you are? Do you deserve dignity? "
Li Mu didn't say anything else. He just stared at him.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
There was a hint of hesitation on the face of the new emperor.
At this moment, another voice sounded, "Hahaha, Young Master Wei, Mu Mu is famous for being stubborn and stubborn. Why do you have to be calculative with a stone in the latrine? Aren't you losing your identity? "
It was Xia Jing.
As a female official of the Huangji Cliff, Xia Jing appeared out of nowhere. She smiled and said to Wei Ruhu.
The moment Wei Ruhu saw Xia Jing, his eyes flashed with a hint of passion.
Especially when Xia Jing smiled at him, he felt like he was about to lose his soul.
"Haha, Fairy Xia, are you speaking for Mu Mu?" Wei Ruhu laughed so hard that his saliva almost flowed out.
He was also a lecher.
As the third generation of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect, he was a little better than Wei Rulong.
But only a little.
Xia Jing smiled and said, "I am an official of the Huangji Cliff. Of course, I am speaking for the Huangji Cliff. If Mu Mu wasn't an official of the Huangji Cliff, I wouldn't care even if you cut him into pieces and fed him to the dogs. Haha."
Her smile was like a flower and she was as pure as a fairy.
Wei Ruhu wasn't the only one who felt the allure of the number one beauty of the Extreme Emperor Cliff. Many people felt their hearts racing and their mouths going dry.
This kind of charm could no longer be explained by her looks.
"Well, fine. If that's the case, I will give Blissful Fairy some face."
Wei Ruhu didn't want to leave a bad impression on the beauty.
After that, he turned to look at Li Mu, smiled sinisterly, and said, "You dog, I'll spare you today. However, how dare you contradict me? Don't think you're great just because you're favored now. I'll remember you. Sooner or later, you'll die without a burial place. That day won't be too far away. Just wait and see."
Given his status, it was very intimidating for him to say such threatening words.
Li Mu just lowered his head and kept silent.
Everyone thought that it was because of the fear in his heart.
In the end, the incident came to an end in such a way.
Apart from the Dongxuan Celestial Sect, the Solitary Sword Sect also received a considerable amount of compensation from the Huangji Cliff. After all, they were also attacked and some of their disciples were killed.
One day later, the diplomatic corps of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect left the imperial city.
The Huangji Cliff held a grand farewell ceremony. Then, the imperial guards escorted them for thousands of miles before they finally sent off the "god of plague".
…
High in the sky.
White clouds were everywhere.
The strong wind was blowing.
Wei Ruhu was very satisfied.
Looking back in the direction of the Huangji Cliff, he couldn't hide the disdainful and proud smile on his face.
"This new emperor is as timid as a mouse. There is nothing to worry about."
"But that Xia Jing, tsk, tsk. When I go back, I will think of a way to bring her to the Dongxuan Celestial Sect and enjoy her day and night. That is the real life of an immortal."
"And that Mu Mu … Humph, I have to seize the time. I can squash him like a bug. Hehe."
His heart was filled with joy as he calculated.
Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.
In the Void in front of him, a strange wind sounded, mixed with the bleak chirping of autumn cicadas. A familiar voice echoed in the Void —
"The wind is blowing. The cicadas are chirping. Do you hear that?"
