Lu Xingkong's hand was ice-cold and powerful. Like a pair of hard pliers, it was tightly clutching Yan Xiangma's neck, making it difficult for him to breathe, his qi and blood flowed backward, his internal organs were almost displaced, and his whole body felt as though it was in a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave.
He felt cold all over, and ice had formed on his eyebrows and hair.
Yan Xiangma knew that this was the 'Snow Stifling' technique used by Lu Xingkong. It transforms essential qi into cold air, and then suffocates the victim to death.
Moreover, the dead body, like an ice sculpture, would shatter at a touch.
When he fell heavily to the ground, his whole body was like a huge ice cube falling from the sky, shattering with a loud crack. His hands, feet, face and nose had all turned into small pieces of ice.
Evidently, Yan Xiangma's words had aroused Lu Xingkong's murderous intent.
"I was — — for — — Li Muyang — —" Yan Xiangma said with difficulty.
"For Muyang — —" Lu Xingkong slightly loosened his grip on Yan Xiangma's wrist, and the layer of ice on Yan Xiangma's face also melted a lot. "You told me to tame the Peacock, what does that have to do with him?"
"Do you really not know what Li Muyang is thinking? Don't you know the deep meaning of the Peacock King Ying Boyan's use of troops to conquer the seven countries? "
"In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Ying Boyan had the ambition of a wolf. Everyone in the world knows his reason for sending troops, how would I not know? "
"This is only part of the truth."
"Then I'm curious — —" Lu Xingkong said in a low voice, "What is the deep meaning?"
"Muyang obtained the Thousand Spirit Jade Seal, why didn't he give it to others, not to you, but to the Peacock King Ying Boyan?"
"In order to please my future father-in-law, it's something he wanted to do."
"Exactly. In the eyes of outsiders, he does indeed have the intention of currying favor with Ying Boyan. Everyone in the world thinks that he gifted this treasure to Princess Peacock … However, this is only a superficial reason. Li Muyang's real purpose is to clear the name of the Dragon Clan. The Princess of the Peacock Kingdom, Ying Qiandu, knows this very well … Only by unifying the Nine Kingdoms can the truth of the extermination of the Dragon Clan tens of thousands of years ago be made public. Only then can the cruel truth that the Dragon Clan has endured for thousands of years be exposed to the light of day and their grievances be redressed. "
"If the Nine Nations are not united, how can the injustice of the Dragon Clan be solved? The Dragon Clan … would bear this endless infamy for all eternity. There was also Li Muyang … As long as he lived, he would always be cursed by others. If you don't want to kill, you'll be killed. Day and night, I was harassed and hunted … "
"Do you know what kind of life this is? Can you understand his constant worry and vigilance? You're his grandfather, his biological grandfather … Even you were attacked by the humans because of his identity as a member of the Dragon Clan, so what about him? He has to protect himself, to protect his family from harm … How much effort does he have to put in for this? "
Yan Xiangma knew that he did not have much time, and this was the only opportunity.
If Lu Xingkong were to break his neck, he would not feel that it was an unacceptable thing at all.
For such an old man, what could he not do?
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that Lu Xingkong's mouth was slightly relaxed, he immediately said what he wanted to say.
The worst result had come, and there was nothing to fear anymore.
"Ying Boyan indeed wants to unify the Nine Regions and become the ruler of the Human Race. But if the Nine Regions are unified, Li Muyang is also one of the beneficiaries … They have reached a consensus, so Li Muyang desperately snatched the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Seal from the divine palace, and then gave it away … "
"Defence Minister's wisdom is as vast as the sea, can't you distinguish the pros and cons? So, I came to persuade him to surrender — — since we can't beat the Peacock Imperial Court, then for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of Li Muyang, let the flames of war extinguish as soon as possible, and the Human Race will die less — — "
"What if I — — don't agree?"
"Defence Minister naturally has his own considerations. However, if Defence Minister does not agree, there is only one reason — — "
"Oh. Tell me. "
"Imperial power is greater than family." Yan Xiangma gnashed his teeth. "Because Defence Minister wants to be the Emperor of the West Wind Kingdom."
"— —"

Peacock King Ying Boyan was dealing with military affairs in the tent when a eunuch came to report that someone had come to visit His Majesty.
"Refuse." Ying Boyan said impatiently. He was the Emperor of a country, if he had to personally receive everyone who came to visit, where would he have time to unify the Divine continent? Every day he would be too busy to deal with the guests.
"Your Majesty, this person can't be refused." The eunuch braced himself and said.
"Oh." Ying Boyan looked up at the eunuch in surprise, asking: "Does this person have a name?"
"He said he is the Dean of Starry Sky Academy — — Tai-shu Yongsheng."
Oh!
Ying Boyan sprang to his feet and said in a low voice: "Quickly invite him in."
By the time the eunuch was about to get up, Ying Boyan had already rushed out from the desk, saying: "Let me personally invite him in."
With that, he strode out of the City Lord's residence.
Ying Boyan respectfully welcomed Tai-shu Yongsheng into the City Lord's residence, and after taking a seat, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Dean to be here, you really bring light to the walls."
"I really have something to ask." Tai-shu Yongsheng, clad in a Starry Sky battle robe, had a smile on his face, calm and casual. With his identity, he could look down on the nobles and not stand on ceremony.
"Dean, don't say that, in front of Dean, Boyan is just a student. Dean, please tell me what you need. "
"Guard the boundary." Tai-shu Yongsheng said straightforwardly.
Ying Boyan frowned, asking aloud: "Yin and Yang World is in danger?"
"It is indeed dangerous."
"How did the other countries react?"
"There was no response."
"Dean, you are making things difficult for me."
"If the boundary stone breaks, the abyss demons will flood in like a tide. At that time, even if the Peacock King obtains the divine continent, he will still have to compete with the three-eyed demons for the world, right?"
"Dean should know that the boundary stone is not something that I can guard alone. If I send all my elites to guard the boundary, at that time, how can I compete with the other countries for the world? If this expedition is a crushing defeat, even if I guard the boundary stone, there will be no place for me under the starry sky, right? "
"The Peacock King means that the boundary stone will not be guarded?"
"Dean, I do not mean that. The boundary stone still needs to be guarded, but there must be a rule — — For example, how many people does each country need, and what level of experts are needed to guard it. As long as the other countries agree, my Peacock Imperial Court will not say anything and will immediately comply. "
"— —" Tai-shu Yongsheng also had a helpless look on his face.
Although he was the Dean of Starry Sky, but he could only influence them to make some decisions, and could not order them to carry out his decision.
What's more, now was the critical moment of the war between the nine countries. Which country's monarch would be willing to send experts to guard the Yin and Yang boundary stone?
Moreover, although the Peacock King Ying Boyan looked like an upright and heroic person, in fact, he still had his own selfish thoughts. For example, if the suggestion that he took the initiative to put forward was implemented according to what he said, the other countries would most likely complain.
He wanted the other countries to send the same amount of manpower as the other countries. He would send ten people, and the other countries would also send ten people — — In other words, he only needed to send ten people to consume dozens of experts of the enemy countries.
Wouldn't that be a joke? Who asked him to have so many opponents?
Ying Boyan was also worried that he would really anger the old man in front of him, and comforted, "Dean, I don't know about the situation of the boundary stone, and I haven't been there for many years. Since Dean has mentioned this, I will send capable people to investigate. If the boundary stone is really dangerous, and there is a possibility of it breaking, then we will gather the nine countries to discuss how to guard the stone, what do you think? "
"I'm afraid it will be too late at that time — —" Tai-shu Yongsheng sighed softly. "If the boundary stone is not stable, the world will be the world of the Human Race or the Abyss — — short-sighted and stupid."
"Dean is right, I know I was wrong." Ying Boyan bowed. "But, Dean, the arrow is already on the bowstring, it has to be released. Now that I know I'm wrong, I can only go on in the wrong way. If I persist, perhaps the Peacock imperial court can win the final victory. If I withdraw the army because of Dean's words, and transfer the elite troops to guard the boundary — — then my Peacock imperial court will be doomed. Boyan does not dare to be a sinner. "
"You have your reasons, and the rulers of the other countries also have their reasons. The attackers cannot withdraw, the defenders do not dare to withdraw. If they don't withdraw, the war will be even more tragic — — At that time, when the Abyss invades, the Human Race will be engaged in a fierce battle. If you hurt your muscles and bones, they will reap the benefits. "
"Dean, don't worry. As long as Boyan is alive, he will never let those ugly monsters harm the Human Race. My Peacock imperial court will also fight to the death. "
"I'm afraid at that time, even if you want to, you will not be able to."
"Dean — —"
Tai-shu Yongsheng waved his hand. "I know your attitude, I also know the attitude of the other countries. Do your best, it's up to fate. I hope the Heavens bless and protect the continuation of the Human Race. "
"There will always be a way." Ying Boyan said in a low voice. "My Ying clan, even if we have to bleed to the last drop of blood, will fight the Abyss demon to the end."
"Ying clan — —" Tai-shu Yongsheng sighed softly. "I don't know if your choice is right or wrong — — to unite the forces of the nine countries to fight the Abyss is not a wise choice. What I fear is that the Abyss demon will not give you a chance to accumulate power. "
Ying Boyan was overjoyed. "Dean means — — to support Boyan's unification of the nine countries?"
"I do not support it, nor oppose it. This is fate, the will of heaven cannot be violated. "Tai-shu Yongsheng said aloud. "However, perhaps the Ying clan is the wise ruler to save the world — — and that little dragon Li Muyang."
"That little dragon — —" Hearing the name of the little dragon, the Peacock King Ying Boyan could not suppress the anger in his heart. "Dean, do you know the whereabouts of that little dragon?"
