This matter was indeed caused by Ye Futian. Gongsun Zhong had gone to the Demon Peacock City several times and was attacked by the demons. He bore the wrath of the demons on Ye Futian's behalf, so he must have had a lot of resentment.
Now Emperor Li's Realm and the Demon Peacock Realm were discussing an alliance to attack together. Gongsun Zhong wanted to hand Ye Futian over to Kong Xuan to quell the anger of the Demon Peacock Realm and thus maintain the three-way standoff.
On the surface, it seemed feasible, but in reality, it was not so simple. Not to mention Xia Qingyuan's attitude, even if she was willing to hand Ye Futian over, what if the Demon Peacock Realm continued to ally with Emperor Li's Realm after killing Ye Futian?
They would have lost a top figure for nothing. Moreover, Ye Futian had many other cultivators around him. If they handed Ye Futian over, these people would probably have to be dealt with as well, which would undoubtedly be cutting off one of their own.
Although many people did not like Ye Futian, they had to admit his strength. Gongsun Zhong was injured, which proved Ye Futian's strength. He could provoke Kong Xuan many times and escape unscathed.
Moreover, Xia Qingyuan was willing to make Ye Futian deputy commander. For him, she sent Gongsun Zhong to the Demon Peacock City as an envoy to show goodwill to Kong Xuan. It was clear that she appreciated and valued Ye Futian, so naturally she would not give him away.
Gongsun Zhong's proposal was probably only for himself, and the Princess would probably not agree.
Ye Futian glanced at Gongsun Zhong, and his expression was calm. Gongsun Zhong had a problem with him at Old Man Xiao's birthday banquet, and now what happened in the Empty Realm made him even more unhappy with him, which was why he made such a proposal. He knew that it was impossible, but he still said it. It seemed that his resentment ran deep.
The leader of the third generation of Divine Cloud Valley really did not care about offending him.
But it was normal. Even though he was talented and was made the Princess' valet, but what kind of force was Divine Cloud Valley? What kind of position was it? The leader of Divine Cloud Valley used to be Emperor Xia's personal armorer, and now the Xiao clan wanted to ally with Divine Cloud Valley by marriage. Like Lihen Heaven, they stood at the top of Emperor Xia's Realm, and with Emperor Xia's backing, why would they care about him?
Xia Qingyuan looked at Gongsun Zhong and said, "Gongsun Zhong, what kind of sacrifice do you mean?"
Hearing Xia Qingyuan's words, many people looked surprised. The princess was pretending not to understand what Gongsun Zhong meant.
Gongsun Zhong kept his head lowered and said, "If Emperor Li's Realm were to join forces with the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm, they would have lost the Battle of Empty Realm without a doubt. Ten years of preparation would have been destroyed in a single day. The current situation is all because of Ye Futian's arrogant behavior. If Ye Futian were to be sent to the Demon Peacock City, the anger of the Demon Peacock City would be appeased, and they would naturally not continue to join forces with Emperor Li's Realm."
"Was the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm an enemy of Emperor Xia's Realm during the Battle of Empty Realm?"
"Yes." Gongsun Zhong lowered his head and replied.
"Ye Futian single-handedly restrained Demon Peacock City and killed so many great demons. What is the reason for sending him to Demon Peacock City?" Xia Qingyuan continued to ask. Her voice was calm, but this calm voice gave Gongsun Zhong an invisible pressure.
"The battlefield of Empty Realm is not subject to military discipline, and he fought alone, which led to the current crisis," Gongsun Zhong replied.
Xia Qingyuan nodded lightly and said, "You are right. Ye Futian's stubbornness led to the current situation, and Ye Futian's position as Deputy Commander will be immediately revoked. But Gongsun Zhong, before the battle, shook the army's morale and suggested sending our Deputy Commander to the enemy camp. He offended his superior and cowered from battle. Gongsun Zhong, how do you think we should deal with him?"
Gongsun Zhong heard Xia Qingyuan's words and his face turned pale. He looked up slightly and looked at Xia Qingyuan. His heart was cold and he was extremely disappointed.
There was nothing wrong with what Xia Qingyuan said, but it was clear how Xia Qingyuan treated the two of them.
Divine Cloud Valley had followed Emperor Xia for many years, and his grandfather was the Emperor's personal armorer. He also hoped to follow and serve Xia Qingyuan.
However, in Xia Qingyuan's mind, Gongsun Zhong of Divine Cloud Valley was not as good as Ye Futian, who came from the Nine States of the Lower Worlds.
He proposed to sacrifice Ye Futian because he wanted to see Xia Qingyuan's attitude.
But now, he saw it.
"Gongsun Zhong is at your disposal, Princess." Gongsun Zhong looked into Xia Qingyuan's eyes and then bowed. At that moment, there were no more illusions in his heart.
"Princess." Xiao Sheng came forward and cupped his hands at Xia Qingyuan. "Gongsun Zhong was just confused for a moment and did it in a moment of desperation. It was also for the sake of the Battle of Empty Realm. I hope Princess will be lenient in his punishment."
"Princess, before the war, it is indeed not suitable to shake the army's morale," Tian Ji also said in a low voice.
Xia Qingyuan still looked very calm and stared at Gongsun Zhong. Gongsun Zhong stood there with his head down. After what seemed to be a long time, Xia Qingyuan said, "Go to Demon Peacock City and tell them that I, Xia Qingyuan, am willing to apologize for what Ye Futian did. But in a war between armies, all of this is unavoidable. If Demon Peacock City insists on joining forces with Emperor Li's Realm to attack Emperor Xia's City, Emperor Xia's City will fight to the death and use all our strength against the cultivators of Demon Peacock City to send Emperor Li's Realm to victory."
"Yes," Gongsun Zhong replied.
"In addition, after the war begins, you will lead the cultivators of Divine Cloud Valley to the forefront of the matrix. Use your words to prove your belief in the victory of the Battle of Empty Realm, and whether or not you are willing to make sacrifices." Xia Qingyuan continued, and her plain voice sent chills down many people's spines.
The vanguard of a war had always been the most brutal, and it had always been the eight armies directly under Emperor Xia's command who were responsible for it. Now, Xia Qingyuan had Gongsun Zhong lead the cultivators of Divine Cloud Valley as the vanguard. Such a punishment was indeed harsh, and Gongsun Zhong had nothing to say.
Since he said that Ye Futian could be sacrificed, then Xia Qingyuan would let him make some sacrifices.
"Yes, Princess." Gongsun Zhong looked very calm. He was not angry, and his expression did not change much. It was as if his heart was as still as water.
The more one cared, the easier it was to lose control of one's emotions. When one was truly in despair and did not care so much, one was able to look at everything calmly.
At that moment, Gongsun Zhong had lost all hope in Xia Qingyuan and no longer held any illusions.
"Go and send the message," Xia Qingyuan said. She naturally did not care about what Gongsun Zhong thought. This heir of Divine Cloud Valley had disappointed her as well.
"Yes." Gongsun Zhong nodded, then retreated and left in the air, heading to Demon Peacock City to deliver the message.
Looking at Gongsun Zhong's departing figure, many people felt some sympathy. This peerless figure of Divine Cloud Valley had wanted to win the favor of Princess Xia Qingyuan, but it had backfired. The Princess was obviously very dissatisfied with him, so she did not care about what he thought.
"Prepare for war." Xia Qingyuan glanced at the crowd, and suddenly they bowed and retreated to prepare for war.
If the other side joined forces to attack, it would probably be a cruel and bloody battle.
Gongsun Zhong went to Demon Peacock City to deliver the message, and the cultivators of the royal families of the demon clans were furious, scolding Xia Qingyuan for not being sincere, and instead threatening them, threatening to capture Xia Qingyuan. They proposed to immediately send troops and join forces.
Jialou Feng proposed to mix with the army of Emperor Li's City and join forces to attack. In this way, not only would Emperor Li's Realm be unable to use tricks, but it would also be difficult for the cultivators of Emperor Xia's Realm to target them alone.
Kong Xuan and Kong Zhan seriously considered Jialou Feng's proposal.
After Li Yao learned the contents of Xia Qingyuan's message, he was naturally overjoyed. He wished that the other side could kill each other during the war, so that they could save their strength and wait until Emperor Xia's City was dealt with before turning to attack the demonic cultivators.
But later, Demon Peacock City once again mentioned Jialou Feng's proposal, and in order to show their sincerity, Li Yao had to agree. The two sides formally formed an alliance and began to prepare for war, preparing to take down Emperor Xia's City in one battle, leaving no future trouble.
Emperor Li's Realm and the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm began to prepare for war at the same time, reorganizing the army, and discussing the formation of the mixed army camp.
An invisible pressure shrouded Emperor Xia's City.
In the Empty Realm, many people said that Emperor Xia's City was finished, and after this battle, it was possible that they would directly lose the qualification to fight for the Empty Realm.
This big confrontation of the Battle of Empty Realm seemed to have come a little too soon.
After a few days of reorganization, on this day, from Emperor Li's City, an army set off, and the Demon Peacock Emperor's City also set off, from different directions, in the direction of Emperor Xia's City.
The two great imperial realms formally formed an alliance and joined forces to invade Emperor Xia's City, preparing to destroy it in one fell swoop.
On this day, in Emperor Xia's City, dark clouds loomed. Unlike before, this time it was no longer the army of Emperor Li's City attacking alone, but the two armies joined forces, leaving only a part of their forces to guard the imperial city, and the rest of the cultivators would all participate in this battle.
At this time in Emperor Xia's City, the army gathered in the direction of the imperial flag, waiting.
In the distant sky, there was already an extremely powerful pressure permeating, and the two armies were approaching.
Above the great hall, Xia Qingyuan looked into the distance, and Ye Futian stood beside her, also looking in that direction.
After many days of planning, today finally ushered in this battle, and this was also the situation that Ye Futian had been working hard to facilitate!
