Under the immense pain, the emperor had no other choice. He knew that this was a cultivator and that only a cultivator could deal with him! These ordinary soldiers could not do anything to him. In order to stall for time and prevent him from attacking in a rage, they could only order the guards and warriors to retreat until they were dozens of feet away from the Emperor. They still formed a large circle, but there was no real meaning to it!
The court officials also rushed out, but they were not allowed to enter the plaza. They could only gather on the high platform outside the throne room. This was to protect them from being injured in the chaos. However, the view from this position was very good. Every movement in the plaza could be seen clearly!
Second Master Yao was also squeezed into the crowd. The fall just now had not been light. Even now, his bones were aching! From afar, the assassin was slowly taking off his fifth rank official robe. However, what surprised everyone was that he was still wearing an official robe!
Second Master Yao's entire body trembled. Although his vision was a bit blurry due to old age and his position wasn't right, he couldn't clearly see the assassin's face. However, that familiar figure and the equally familiar official's robes caused him to be distraught. Under the scorching summer sun, a wave of coldness rose out of nowhere. From inside to outside, it made him unable to breathe!
The official robe inside was the robe of Sima Ye, one of the highest officials in the country! Although it was somewhat old and the color was no longer bright, the embroidered beast style clearly told everyone the answer!
This was the robe of Sima Ye from the previous dynasty!
Lou Xiaoyi was refined and courteous. "My surname is Lou! Today, I came here to settle an old debt with His Majesty! I don't need to say much. You should understand! Two hours, right here. If you survive, you are lucky. If you don't survive, you can only blame yourself! It's not too much! "
With a press of his hand, the Tiande Emperor knelt straight on the hot jade stone under the summer sun, unable to struggle even a single step!
Although his voice was not loud, each word was clear. It reached the ears of the thousands of people in the plaza and the throne room!
Everything was clear now! Although not everyone was clear about the matter of the coronation eight years ago, everyone present knew the origin of this grudge through word of mouth!
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. They all thought that the Lou clan's glory was gone, but who knew that the descendants of the Lou clan would use such a method to resolve the karma? At that time, there were actually many officials who did not quite agree with the Emperor's actions. A widow and an orphan, do you really have to do this?
Now, retribution had come, and it was obvious that there was no way he would let this go!
Many people turned their gazes towards Second Old Master Yao, and the old man shrugged.
"Do you think I can persuade a cultivator? Even if he is my nephew! "
He could see very clearly that the Lou clan was finished. The Yao clan was also finished. Regardless of the outcome, the destruction of the clan was certain. There was no chance of escaping death!
Since that was the case, why should he go up and beg bitterly and become a laughingstock?
He already had a premonition about Yao shi's ending. It would happen sooner or later, but to end it in this way, at least he could leave behind a reputation, even if it was the reputation of killing the ruler!
Not bad!
Three figures flew over. They were the State Preceptor of this generation and his two senior and junior brothers. Although their status in the country was extraordinary, they were too lazy to participate in such a boring gathering as the Imperial Court Assembly. It was a waste of time. Therefore, they were not present when the incident happened!
Now that they had rushed over, they originally thought that this was a daring qi eating rogue cultivator and that they would be able to take him down with a few tricks. But when they got closer, they gasped. Lou Xiaoyi didn't hide the aura of his upper Foundation Establishment cultivation. This left the disciples of the three sects at a loss for what to do!
It was impossible to use force, so they could only see if they could resolve the situation.
The State Preceptor had his two fellow disciples wait on the spot while he went up alone, afraid of causing a misunderstanding.
"Esteemed Master! Zi Ji of the Giant Lu Sect greets you! "
He was very respectful, and Lou Xiaoyi returned the greeting. He was not respectful towards him, but towards the Giant Lu Sect behind him!
"Esteemed Master, in the Night Reflection Realm, the cultivation world and the imperial court have an agreement to not interfere with each other! Esteemed Master's actions today have violated the agreement. If someone's life were to be lost, I'm afraid that even with my status as Esteemed Master, it would be difficult to explain!
As the State Preceptor, this disciple promises Esteemed Master that if Tiande Emperor is released, I will give Esteemed Master and my family a perfect explanation. This is the promise of the cultivation world to Esteemed Master, we will not go back on our words! "
Lou Xiaoyi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before saying calmly,
He said calmly, "The premise of the agreement is not to interfere with each other! This person consecutively killed my adoptive mother and birth mother. Do you think that as a son, I will give up karma because of some agreement? "
Daoist Zi Ji was speechless. This Foundation Establishment Esteemed Master's words had blocked all his communication. Cultivators sought immortality and freedom, so of course they had to pursue a clear mind and end karma. There was no choice but to avenge his mother's death. Letting him go was the same!
With his current level, he could not stop this Esteemed Master. If he returned to the sect to call for reinforcements, it would take several days for reinforcements to arrive. Thus, he was powerless against Tiande Emperor!
This was not his fault. His sect would not ask him to become enemies with a Foundation Establishment cultivator for the sake of an emperor. The highest cultivation level in his Giant Lu Sect was only at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!
If he rashly made a move, it might cause a conflict between the sects. It was not worth it for a mortal emperor!
Thus, he straightforwardly said, "This disciple will immediately return to the sect and wait for instructions. Please forgive me, Esteemed Master!
However, this situation, I wonder what Esteemed Master has to teach me? "
Lou Xiaoyi pointed out, "I heard that the Shining Night Kingdom has a second prince?"
Daoist Zi Ji was speechless. This Esteemed Master meant that he could not spare Tiande Emperor's life today! To him, even if he could not save Tiande Emperor, he had to at least maintain the peace of the Shining Night Kingdom. This was his duty.
Thus, he went to make arrangements. He notified his sect and the second emperor to come and preside over the situation. This was a tacit understanding between cultivators. They would not support Tiande Emperor's prince. Not only was it because he was too young, but it was also because if they allowed his son to ascend the throne, the mortal world might retaliate on a larger scale. As for brothers, hehe …
Under the scorching sun, the heat wave was suffocating. In less than an hour, Tiande Emperor was already on the verge of collapse. However, Lou Xiaoyi did not have the slightest intention of hiding!
In theory, it was Lou Sima who started this method of punishment. However, the situation at that time was that there was water and an umbrella, as well as a half-time break. It was not designed to kill. This method was fundamentally different from Tiande Emperor's method!
Lou Xiaoyi would not consider the complicated cause and effect of this. He had never seen his father, Lou Sima, but the death of Aunt Cai and the death of his mother had happened in front of his eyes. There was no room for negotiation!
The ministers were not all waiting. Some of the smarter ones among them also thought of a way, and that was to gamble!
They gambled that the Lou family's son would not really kill the emperor. They would charge forward with a large number of troops and see if this cultivator dared to kill a large number of mortals!
This was using the lives of soldiers to destroy the future of cultivators. How imaginative! However, the ministers were not united in their opinions because there was always a so-called conservative faction. Even if they knew that the emperor was doomed, they did not want to leave a name in history that they were the ones who sent troops to kill the emperor.
