In the throne room, Lord He continued to report, "Southern City has been free for three days, but Southern City Governor Hu Deli hasn't sent us any news. According to this official's analysis, I'm afraid that Lord Hu has also been killed by Ye Kong …"
"This traitor!" Hearing this, the Emperor Yan was furious. The throne room suddenly quieted down. Even those who didn't know what was going on became cautious.
Obviously, this Immortal Ye Kong didn't fight the barbarians for the An Kingdom, but to avenge Ye Jiajun. Not only did he kill the barbarian Great Khan, but he also killed the Imperial City Governor. His next step … wouldn't be coming to the An Du, right?
All the ministers were shocked when they thought of this. Immediately, a minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this official thinks that the most important thing now is to strengthen the defense of the An Du City and increase the number of guards in the palace to prevent this traitor from having any bad intentions!"
Lord He also agreed. "According to City Governor Hu's son, Hu Caigan, that Ye Kong has always been arrogant and unscrupulous … He will definitely come to the An Du City to cause trouble, so the defense must be strengthened."
"What's the use of having more ordinary guards?" An Rushan glared at the people below him. He suddenly hated the spies in his hands. Why didn't those guys find out earlier that there was a cultivator among Ye Haoran's sons?
If they had known earlier that there was a cultivator in the Ye Family, they would have continued to deal with Ye Haoran using the conciliatory policy.
An Rushan felt a headache coming on. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not feeling well. Let's end the court early today … En, also, strengthen the defense of the An Du City and the Imperial Palace. Men from the Southern State are not allowed to enter the city!"
Although mortal soldiers were useless against an Immortal, it was better than nothing. It was good that they could let Ye Kong show up in advance.
After An Rushan finished giving the order, he left the throne room with the two cultivators.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. He's just a little Qi Condensation cultivator. I'm only afraid that he won't come. If he dares to come …" The young cultivator's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness and he said coldly, "He must be destroyed!"
Although the young cultivator said it casually, An Rushan was still worried and said, "But that kid can kill tens of thousands of people at once …" An Rushan didn't dare to doubt the abilities of the two cultivators, so he had to remind them, "Maybe the information is wrong. What if this Ye Kong isn't in the Qi Refinement Realm … Should we report this to the grand cultivator of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain?"
The young cultivator was rather conceited as he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. A cultivator killing tens of thousands of mortals is nothing. Besides, even if he's not at the Qi Condensation realm, even if his cultivation level is higher than ours, even if he's a Yuanying cultivator … I still have a way to keep His Majesty safe for the time being, so that he can wait for the rescue of our Spirit Medicine Mountain's high-level cultivators! "
"That's great!" An Rushan was overjoyed. Since the young cultivator said so, he had nothing to worry about. Even if they couldn't defeat Ye Kong, they had a way to protect themselves. When the Spirit Medicine Mountain's Patriarchs came to rescue them, what was there to be afraid of?
"Spiritual Masters, I really don't know how to thank you." An Rushan's gratitude was beyond words.
However, he couldn't take out anything that cultivators would be interested in. Cultivators needed powerful magic tools, high-grade pill recipes, various cultivation techniques, spirit stones, immortal jades, immortal birds and divine beasts … These things weren't something that a mortal emperor could take out.
However, An Rushan thought for a while and came up with a solution. He could give beautiful women to the Immortal Masters. Of course, the cultivators of the Spirit Medicine Mountain were relatively pure and had few desires. However, it was better to give them than not to give them. If they accepted his gifts, they would be more careful when protecting him.
"Immortal Masters, I don't have much to offer … I only have these palace maids in my harem. As long as Immortal Masters like them … Oh, even my imperial concubines are fine." This An Rushan was really good. He was willing to let others play with his own women. However, there were exceptions. An Rushan added, "Except for my Tang Shujie."
Although Tang Shujie didn't have a high status in the harem, she was as beautiful as a flower and had just given birth to a little prince. Therefore, she was deeply loved by An Rushan, and he didn't want to give her away.
An Rushan's move showed his sincerity. However, it made the young cultivator unhappy. He said angrily, "You're mediocre. You want to take advantage of us Immortals? Who do you think we are? "
The young cultivator flicked his sleeves and left. An Rushan was depressed. "Damn, do you think I want to let you play with my wife? Do you think I'm taking advantage of you?"
In fact, An Rushan's thinking was wrong. From a certain point of view, it was the mortal women who benefited from the relationship between cultivators and mortal women. Not only did it preserve their beauty, but it also cured diseases and strengthened their health. If they gave birth to children, there was a one-fourth chance that the children would have Spirit Roots.
After angering the young cultivator, An Rushan said to the old cultivator apologetically, "I'm showing my sincerity. I didn't expect Little Immortal Master to hate women. I hope you can put in a good word for me."
The old cultivator laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that he hates women … Your Majesty, remember, all the young male cultivators of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain have a crush on Senior Sister Ruolan. Other women are not as good as him."
"Oh, it's Perfected Lian Ruolan." An Rushan nodded. Half a year ago, Lian Ruolan also came to the Tranquil Capital to guard him for a period of time. Her beauty was still fresh in An Rushan's mind. Of course, he didn't dare to let his imagination run wild. Perfected Lian Ruolan was the core disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. Her cultivation level was amazing. He didn't want to die.
Southern City. For the past three days, Ye Kong had been looking for Chen Jiuniang and Lu Qin Xiaohong. However, the three of them seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not only the Southern City, but even the nearby cities couldn't find any news about them.
"Eighth Young Master, the tombs for the ancestors of the Ye Family have been completed. We can now hold a memorial for them." When Ye Kong was at his wits' end, Liu Changqing walked in.
The Ye Family had been massacred this time. Some of their corpses couldn't even be found. Therefore, they could only set up a cenotaph. However, a cenotaph was better than nothing. Ye Kong had fulfilled his filial duty for them.
Following Liu Changqing out of the backyard, he saw that the Ye Mansion was decorated with black cloth with hundreds of flowers. It looked like a funeral.
When Ye Kong walked to the entrance of the front yard, he was surprised to see that it was filled with people wearing linen clothes. They all had a sad look on their faces as they waited to come in and hold a memorial for General Ye and his family. There were so many people that he couldn't see the end of them!
Ye Kong let out a sigh and said, "The eyes of the masses are bright. Let them come in and mourn."
The mourning hall was filled with a bunch of signs. Ye Kong had never seen most of them. However, this did not affect his grief.
"Big Brother! I have avenged you! You can rest in peace! "
"Mr. Zhang, I, Ye Kong, swear that I will find Zhang Jiu De. No matter what his cultivation level is, I will send his head to you!"
"Third Madam, Ninth Madam, Ye Long, Ye Hu, Ye Feng, Ye You … Although you don't regard me, Ye Kong, as a brother, I still wish you a safe journey!"
