"What relatives? Don't try to claim that we're related. We're from two different families!" Chen Jiu curled his lips in disdain.
"Chen Jiu, have you forgotten that your aunt, no, your wife is a member of our Xuanhuang Family? Since you've come to our family, how can we not treat you well?" Xuan Wuhui said with an awkward expression. "Look, there are so many people here. Even the old and old ancestors have come out to welcome you. Is there a need to say how much respect we have for you?"
"Is that so? Did they really come out to welcome me? Are they here to make things difficult for me? "Chen Jiu glared at them and said fiercely.
"Yes, yes, Chen Jiu, I trust you've been well since we last met!" Although they were embarrassed, three thousand Giant Fallen Spirits were enough to sweep through the universe. Even the Xuanhuang Family couldn't afford to offend them.
They had been fighting to the death just a moment ago, but now they had to put on a smiling face. The elders of the Xuanhuang Family felt like finding a hole to hide in.
"Oh? Can we talk now? "Chen Jiu couldn't help but smile. His smile was full of ridicule, but the elders didn't dare to fly into a rage.
"Chen Jiu, we're family. If you have anything to say, just say it to Xuan Ling. We still have things to do, so we'll go back first!" At this time, the elders pushed Xuan Ling forward and left.
There was no other way. They couldn't stand it anymore.
"Chen Jiu, put away these things. Let's go down and talk!" Xuan Ling had no choice but to lower her attitude.
"Okay, let's go down and talk!" Chen Jiu carried the three elders and followed Xuan Ling to the palace hall.
"Summon the officials to the palace hall!" At this moment, Xuan Ling suddenly gave an order to gather all the officials and generals in the main hall.
Xuan Sandao's expression was especially ugly. They obviously knew that Chen Jiu had shown off just now. Even the elders couldn't afford to offend him, so how could they dare to touch his dignity?
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and the officials' faces were ashen.
"Dear officials, weren't you all very supportive of provoking the Dragonblood Family? Now that Chen Jiu is here, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell him! "Xuan Ling's words silenced the officials.
"Hmph, who's dissatisfied with me? Who wants to lead an army to suppress me? Step forward and let me see! " Chen Jiu glared fiercely, sweeping his gaze over the hundreds of officials and generals, causing them to be so frightened that they fell to their knees on the spot, trembling incessantly.
"Dear officials, didn't you all think that I'm weak? Didn't you all secretly say that I'm useless? You all to say, what should we do? "Xuan Ling's the emperor's majesty's the emperor............. and.................................................................................... are............
"Your Majesty, we know we were wrong. Please punish us!" Hundreds of officials and thousands of generals knelt down and no longer dared to go against Xuan Ling's dignity.
"Chen Jiu, did you see that? The reason why we went to provoke you was because of their instigation. If you want to punish us, we will accept it. However, you must not let these culprits off! "Xuan Wu Hui and the others immediately pushed the blame to the officials.
"Oh? I wonder which one of them instigated this? Your Majesty, have you investigated thoroughly? " Chen Jiu looked at Xuan Ling with a calm expression, but he was laughing coldly in his heart. The three Great Elders are not people that can be persuaded by ordinary people, right?
"Mystic Three Blades, you listened to slanderous rumors, and secretly incited the three Grand Elders to attack without regard for justice. You have committed a grave crime. Do you admit to it?" Xuan Ling suddenly pointed at Mystic Three Blades and the other two.
"Your Majesty, we were wrong!" Mystic Three Blades bowed his head, not daring to say anything else.
"Humph, take him away and give him a hundred thousand strokes as punishment!" Xuan Ling's expression changed as he mercilessly ordered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mystic Three Blades was deeply grateful. They knew that Xuan Ling was taking revenge on them, but they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. At this time, even if Xuan Ling took the opportunity to kill them, they would have died in vain!
Compared to the three Grand Elders, Mystic Three Blades was simply too weak.
"Minister Gou, General Hu Lie, the two of you are spreading rumors, trying to instigate a war between the empire and profit from it. You have committed a grave crime. Men, take them out and execute them!" Xuan Ling glared at the two officials again and shouted.
"Your Majesty, we did not do that!" The two officials cried out in grievance, begging for mercy. However, it was useless. Xuan Ling gave the order to execute them, and there was no room for negotiation.
"Ah ah …" Following the two screams from the front door, the hundreds of officials and thousands of generals trembled in fear!
Being in the emperor's company was like being in the company of a tiger. They were not fools. These two had been the most aggressive recently, saying that Xuan Ling was weak and incompetent. They had obviously angered Xuan Ling, and he wanted to use this opportunity to execute them.
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey was very effective. The officials did not dare to have any doubts about Xuan Ling. They only looked at him with endless respect.
"Chen Jiu, I have already killed the main culprit. Do you think you should release the three Grand Elders first? We can discuss any conditions you have!" Xuan Ling looked at Chen Jiu solemnly and said.
"Alright, release them. They can't run away from me!" Chen Jiu did not argue and released Xuan Wu Hui and the others on the spot. They were very grateful!
"Officials, you may leave. I will speak with Chen Jiu alone to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two empires!" Xuan Ling waved his hand and dismissed the officials and generals.
In the palace hall, only Chen Jiu and Xuan Ling were left, looking at each other.
After looking for a while, Xuan Ling lowered his head and asked, "Is Sister Han Xue well?"
"Of course, she is living with me. That is great!" Chen Jiu said confidently.
"Chen Jiu, do you really want to marry her? Do you know that you are going against heaven's will? "Xuan Ling said hatefully.
"My personal affairs are none of your business. Xuan Ling, let's talk about the compensation you have to give me." Chen Jiu did not want to talk about it anymore. He would not change his mind, so he changed the topic.
"Compensation? What compensation? I have ruthlessly killed two of my important ministers. Isn't that enough to appease your anger? "Xuan Ling's face was filled with astonishment. Her expression seemed to be saying," Can you stop being so relentless? "
"Xuan Ling, I don't know if you think that you are wise or do you really think that I am a fool?" Chen Jiu shook his head and laughed, "You are obviously getting rid of the dissidents and taking the opportunity to take revenge. Do you think that I can't see that? Do you think that by killing those who disrespected you, I will be appeased? Isn't that too whimsical? "
