Chapter 58 Dark Buddha Statue

After Duan Wutian said this, the whole audience fell silent. Countless eyes looked at him, all with a hint of fear.

Emperor, are you finally going to take action against Sikong Xuan?

Duan Wutian looked at Sikong Xuan with a cold expression, and said coldly: "Mr. Sikong is so outstanding, I think there should be someone more suitable for you, right?"

Sikong Xuan looked at Ji Sai, and he nodded slightly, then chuckled: "Your Majesty the Emperor may not know that I am already a candidate for the next leader of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. I believe that the Emperor should not be an enemy of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, right?"

After these words fell, everyone's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and they looked at the man standing in the center of the hall with trembling eyes. The shock in their hearts was difficult to describe in words.

This young man following behind Sikong Xuan turned out to be a candidate for the leader of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. It was simply too unbelievable.

Duan Wutian was also shocked at this time, staring at Ji Sai, trying to see a trace of panic in him, but there was none.

Now things have become complicated. If Ji Sai really becomes the next ruler of Sun Moon, he will definitely send troops to Tianyu in the future to avenge today's humiliation.

The gap between Tianyu and Sun Moon is huge. If the two countries really go to war, Tianyu will definitely be the defeated party.

However, in a short period of time, Duan Wutian seemed to have aged a lot, with more white hair on his temples and tightly frowned brows.

"Your Majesty, you should agree to this marriage. This will benefit both Tianyu and Sun Moon." Ji Sai said with a smile, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.

He did not come here for Sikong Xuan's sake. He had long wanted to find an ally among the eighteen countries. Although Tianyu was weak, it was easier to control.

Ji Sai's words seemed peaceful, but in fact they implied a deep meaning, forcing Duan Wutian to make a choice.

If he did not marry, Sun Moon would send troops to Tianyu. If he married, both countries would benefit.

Duan Wutian closed his eyes, and seemed very tired. He said slowly: "I will tell you the result after seven days."

Sikong Xuan raised a smile, still so calm and said: "Okay, after seven days, I will wait for your choice."

After that, Sikong Xuan took Ji Sai and others to leave the hall, leaving the ministers looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

They also knew the relationship, but their foundation could not compete with the Sikong family, so they naturally did not dare to speak.

"You all retreat." Duan Wutian waved his hand, his voice was very weak.

At this time, in the empty hall, only Duan Wutian was left, lying on the throne with his eyes closed.

"Qingmu, what do you think?" Duan Wutian closed his eyes, but his lips moved for a while, and finally uttered a word.

The words echoed in the silent space for a long time.

"It seems that I have to rely on someone." After a few breaths, a slightly vicissitudes of life voice finally came from the void.

If other ministers saw this scene, they would be shocked beyond words.

There was actually a person hiding in this hall. This person had a calm aura and had been lurking in the void. Even Sikong Xuan and others might not have discovered him.

If any of the ministers dared to betray Duan Wutian, the people hiding in the dark would definitely kill them on the spot.

"Who?" Duan Wutian continued to ask.

"The person the third princess likes." The voice in the void floated out, as if it was everywhere.

Duan Wutian's heart was shocked, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were mixed with deep shock: "When did she have someone she liked?"

"That time in the Tianyan Fire Pool, it was him who sent the third princess into the depths of the fire pool and successfully obtained the Tianxin Fire Lotus. According to my observation, this boy has a good talent, but his strength is far behind Sikong Xuan." The voice came out again, seeming a little regretful.

"Is the talent good?" Duan Wutian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and I don't know what he was thinking.

"He is now practicing in Yunxiao Sect and may not come out for a while." Seeing Duan Wutian's silence, the man in the void added.

"Really?" Duan Wutian narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a kind of wisdom and coldness of a veteran in the battlefield.

Duan Wutian pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "You go down first, and release the relationship between Ruoxi and this boy."

"But is it too cruel to the princess? Sikong Xuan may kill her!" The man refuted Duan Wutian's order for the first time. He was unwilling to do so.

Duan Wutian showed a meaningful smile on his face and said: "I have my own arrangements for this matter. If that kid can't stop Sikong Xuan, he doesn't deserve to be with Ruoxi."

There was a cold silence in the void, and no more voices came out.

The man knew deeply that the man in the hall was the real king of Tianyu Country. He seemed approachable but was actually as fierce as a tiger, and his means were far more ruthless than Sikong Xuan and others.

Once he decided something, no one could change it.

…

Deep in the palace, in a dark and gloomy hall, it was extremely empty. There was no one in the huge space. There was only a huge Buddha statue standing in the center of the hall, which seemed a little abrupt.

The Buddha statue was dozens of feet tall, with a solemn appearance, hands clasped together, and carved to be lifelike. At first glance, it looked like a real Buddha. Its mighty eyes looked down, like the eyes of a god or Buddha, penetrating everything.

However, what was surprising was that this Buddha statue was not a golden Buddha, but a black Buddha!

The Buddha statue is all black, as black as ink, as if it was cast like this. Just a glance from a distance can make people feel scared.

The silent hall is like a lake, without any ripples. It is so quiet that no one has stepped into it for thousands of years.

However, at a certain moment, a creaking sound was heard, and the door of the hall was pushed open.

"Deng, Deng!" The footsteps kept echoing in the empty hall, and a tall and burly figure slowly walked in from the door.

If Sikong Xuan and others were here, they would probably cast a cold look at this person immediately.

This person is the Emperor Tianyu, Duan Wutian!

Duan Wutian walked in the dark hall. Although he couldn't see his fingers, he seemed to be very familiar with everything here. Even with his eyes closed, he could clearly know the structure of the hall.

Because this hall was once where he lived!

Many years ago, the Emperor Tianyu was not Duan Wutian, but his uncle, Duan Tianfeng.

Duan Tianfeng ruled the Tianyu Kingdom at that time. He was worthy of being called the emperor of a generation. He was invincible in the Yuanfu realm and protected the peace of the Tianyu Kingdom for hundreds of years.

What is even more enviable is that his eldest son Duan Chen is even more talented. He was the head of the ten nobles of Tianyu at that time and stood at the top of his peers in Tianyu.

At that time, Duan Wutian was just an ordinary prince. After more than 20 years of cultivation, he was only at the third or fourth level of the Kaiyuan realm. He could not be compared with Duan Chen at all.

Originally, he thought that he would be mediocre all his life, but one day the emperor ordered to grant him the qualification to practice in the Tianwu Palace.

What Duan Tianfeng didn't know was that this order completely changed Duan Wutian's fate and also changed Duan Chen's fate.

I don't know since when, Duan Wutian's talent has made great progress, becoming stronger day by day, and soon reached the Yuanfu realm, and even has an upward trend.

Three years later, Duan Wutian's strength has been on par with Duan Chen's cultivation, and he has reached the seventh level of the Yuanfu realm.

For a period of time, Wu Tian's brilliance overshadowed Duan Chen. Everyone was shocked by Duan Wu Tian's speed of practice, especially Duan Tianfeng, who praised him and gave him countless rewards.

However, one day ten years later, a voice that made everyone in Tianyu Kingdom tremble suddenly came from the palace.

Tianyu Emperor Duan Tianfeng suddenly passed away, and the eldest prince Duan Chen disappeared strangely. The throne will be inherited by King Tianwu.

After that day, the emperor of Tianyu Kingdom was Duan Wutian, and he was named Tianwu Emperor.

This incident caused a storm at the time, and countless people questioned that all this happened too coincidentally, as if someone was secretly controlling it all.

Suddenly one day, a huge hand covering the sky appeared in the sky above Tianyu Kingdom, as if it was going to cover the sky of Tianyu!

What shocked countless people was that the giant palm covering the sky was black, but it revealed a strong Buddhist power. There was Buddhist light flowing on it, and there were ancient Buddhist characters faintly appearing. The extremely terrifying repressive force fell from the sky, suffocating people.

Countless frightened eyes looked up at the giant palm floating above the sky, their hearts trembled wildly, and they all felt cold all over.

Later, a low voice sounded in the void: "Duan Chen is dead, died under this palm."

As soon as the voice ended, the Buddhist palm print in the void fell straight down, carrying a terrifying repressive force, and slapped on a hundred-foot mountain.

There was only a loud rumbling sound, and everyone went to watch, but saw that the mountain was directly razed to the ground and turned into ashes.

From then on, no one in Tianyu Kingdom dared to mention this past event, and regarded it as a taboo and could not be mentioned.

And Duan Wutian naturally sat firmly on the throne, and his pressure covered the entire Tianyu Kingdom, and there was no other voice.

At this time, Duan Wutian looked at the dark Buddha statue in front of him and said gently: "Long time no see, we haven't seen each other for more than forty years, right?"

After a while, there was a faint light shining on the dark Buddha statue, as if something was about to revive.

"You are finally here. I have been starving for these years. Did you get anything this time?" The dark Buddha statue seemed to be alive and actually made a human voice.

Duan Wutian's face changed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: "Aren't two people enough for you forty years?"

"Humph, they are just two Yuanfu realms, how can they satisfy my appetite? I limit you one year, and you must get me another one at the peak of Yuanfu realm, preferably not more than thirty years old. I guess I will be out of retreat by then, right?"

The obscene and evil shouts kept echoing in the dark hall, making it hard to imagine what evil things existed in this Buddha statue.
