Li Huangdao had no idea what Liu Linglong was doing. If he had known that she was going to make a move on Lin Ray, he would not have hesitated to kill Lil Eight.
Women and power. In front of a king, it was obvious which was more important. It was a pity that a man did not have a woman, but he could not be without power.
It was especially so for a king like Li Huangdao. He would not allow anything to go wrong with Lin Ray.
He could not afford to pay the price. The price was too great, so great that it made him breathless.
In the meeting hall, there were still a few people who had left with Liu Linglong. However, the atmosphere in the hall was even more depressing and oppressive.
A man knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor, who was sitting on the throne. His body seemed to be frozen, and he did not move at all except for his rolling eyes.
"Emperor, please think twice about this. If the Long Clan were to become powerful, it would not be good for the Empire."
"The head of the Long Clan, Long Yaoyang, is a very kind person. If the Long Clan had the ability, I'm afraid the position of the emperor would have changed." An old man spoke. Although his voice was soft, it was like a ticking time bomb, shocking everyone present.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the old man, including Li Huangdao. His expression changed as he looked at the old man.
Li Taiyuan, a relative of the royal family, was also the Prime Minister of the Empire. It could be said that he was second only to the emperor. In the Empire, only Li Taiyuan had the right to speak.
In terms of seniority, Li Taiyuan was Li Huangdao's uncle.
The atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive. The man kneeling on the ground was even more speechless. He had been kneeling since the beginning, and even as a warrior, he could not do anything.
Looking at Li Taiyuan, Li Huangdao could only express his annoyance. Did he not understand the ambition of the Long Clan? No, he understood. It was just that Lin Ray's strength made him feel helpless, so he did not dare to make a move.
The only thing he could do now was to wait and see. The situation in the capital was changing rapidly, and with Lin Ray as a variable, he did not dare to be careless. He could not afford to take the risk.
"Prime Minister, the Emperor understands what you're saying, but …" He really wanted to tell them about Lin Ray and tell them about his helplessness as the Emperor, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
"Forget it. Let's talk about this later. As for the Long Family …" Emperor Li continued, "Let's observe the Long Family first."
"Emperor, you …"
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's leave this matter at that. Remember, during this period of time, tell your juniors to behave. You should understand the current situation in the capital. If something happens, don't come crying to me."
Li Taiyuan wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Li Huangdao quickly interrupted him.
"Sigh …"
Sighs could be heard continuously in the hall. Emperor Li was also helpless about this. He also wanted to solve the problem in front of him, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
"Alright, since the matter has been resolved, let's leave! Remember, this matter is only known to the few of you. Otherwise … "A wisp of killing intent surged out and instantly enveloped the surroundings.
"Plop!"
Strange sounds could be heard. The people who were originally standing all knelt on the ground, including Li Taiyuan.
Their faces were grave and red. Li Huangdao's cultivation level was higher than theirs. It was very difficult for them to not lose their composure in front of such killing intent.
"We understand. Please rest assured, Emperor. After all, we will guard today's matter to the death. We will not let anyone know what happened today," the crowd said in unison.
"Alright, go!"
Li Taiyuan and the others felt their bodies relax. The cold killing intent disappeared. The scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood around them disappeared.
They stood up and bowed to Li Huangdao. They didn't stop at all.
At the entrance of the hall, the crowd came out together. They looked at each other, their expressions helpless. They felt helpless about Li Huangdao's decision. They didn't understand why Li Huangdao would be so patient when the other party was just a Martial Venerable.
Didn't he like the Liu Family's only daughter, Liu Linglong? Why was he so indifferent when such a thing happened to the Liu Family?
"Fine, the matter between the Liu Family and the Long Family isn't something that we can handle. From now on, don't pay attention to it," Li Huangdao said to the people around him.
"But …"
A middle-aged man refused to accept it. As someone who was born in the military, he couldn't bear to see people like this riding on the Empire's neck.
"Alright, stop talking. I'm old and don't have many days left. This Empire is the world of the young," Li Taiyuan sighed and shook his head as he looked at the crowd. He walked out of the Imperial Palace as he spoke.
The remaining people looked at Li Taiyuan's back as he left. At that moment, he looked so lonely. The crowd shook their heads helplessly and didn't say anything else.
They nodded at each other and left separately. They went back to their families and mothers.
Inside the hall, Li Huangdao could imagine the scene outside even without using his perception, especially Li Taiyuan's disappointment.
Looking at the entrance of the hall, Li Taiyuan shook his head helplessly. "Prime Minister, I hope you don't blame the Emperor. The Emperor also feels that this way of living is very difficult, but …"
"The enemies ahead are too strong. Even the Old Ancestor isn't a match for them, let alone me."
…
In the Gray Cloud Mountain Range, at the bottom of the valley where Lin Ray was staying, Liu Changtian had finished packing up. His aura had recovered to its peak and even had a slight breakthrough.
"Master, I don't know if I'll survive this time. Don't you plan to give me a few life-saving treasures, battle techniques, or footwork?" Looking at Lin Ray, Liu Changtian couldn't help but laugh.
"Pfft …"
Huo Yun saw Liu Changtian at this moment and couldn't help but burst out laughing. They had spent some time together before, but she didn't remember Liu Changtian having such a year.
Not only Huo Yun, but Long Ming, and Hong Si were also the same. Looking at Liu Changtian's lively behavior, the rascal was speechless.
"Don't worry, you won't die!" Looking at Liu Changtian, Lin Ray said.
"With that bast * rd around, you'll be fine."
"Ssss …" A snake-like hissing sound came from the mouth of the Blood Spirit Sky in Liu Changtian's hand.
"Bast * rd, you bast * rd. What kind of old thing are you? Don't you know how to talk? I … I'm still a cub, okay?" The Blood Spirit Sky glared at Lin Ray and the voice sounded in Lin Ray's mind.
"…"
"Hah, cub? Indeed, you're still a cub. But you've been a cub for too long. How many years do you think you've been a cub for humans? "
"You're already an old Gaba noob, so how can you still be a cub? You have the nerve to say that. Even I can hear how red you are." Lin Ray didn't show any mercy to the Blood Spirit Sky.
After spending a long time together, Lin Ray summed up the Blood Spirit Sky's character in one word.
'Cheap.' That's right, cheap. I feel uncomfortable if I don't scold this kind of demon. She's just like a masochist who needs to be taught a lesson.
