Chapter 434 Saint King?
Tianyuan Holy Dynasty, in the imperial capital!
With the destruction of the three clans, the news that Princess Jilan, who was sent as an envoy to the Qingjiao clan to unite the Qingjiao clan and plotted against Gu Changqing, was also forcefully killed by Gu Changqing, also spread back to the ears of the senior officials of the Tianyuan Holy Dynasty.
Both Emperor Tianyuan and the eldest prince Ji Yan were filled with panic at this moment.
Especially Ji Yan.
Originally, he was extremely disgusted with his two younger brothers and sisters, feeling that they threatened his future throne.
But now, all he can think about is complaining!
If given a choice, he would even want to run away and give up his position as a prince!
Gu Changqing's strength and achievements made Prince Jiyan, Emperor Tianyuan and others feel breathless just thinking about it.
"Father, what should we do?"
In the main hall, Ji Yan couldn't help but look at Emperor Tianyuan, and tentatively suggested: "How about we send an envoy first to show our goodwill to Gu Changqing and express our surrender?"
"Idiot! How can there be any reason to surrender before the war begins?"
Emperor Tianyuan's face turned pale and he cursed his son in a low voice.
"Then, we can't really fight against that Gu Changqing..."
Ji Yan shrank his neck when his father scolded him, but he still couldn't help but whispered back.
In his opinion, the most important thing for him to do now is to readily admit defeat and surrender.
Maybe this way, we can get more treatment from Gu Changqing.
If you continue to grit your teeth and hold on, it seems that you can gain some face.
But I'm afraid that in the end, both my dignity and my face will be in a mess, and I won't be able to escape the end of being subdued by Gu Changqing and becoming his vassal!
Listening to Ji Yan's words.
Emperor Tianyuan also stopped talking.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "Don't worry, no matter what you say, our Tianyuan Holy Dynasty is still the apparent co-leader of the human race in the Desolate Realm today, and holds more than half of the fate of the human race in the Desolate Realm!"
"Then Gu Changqing will not dare to kill us!"
"With this in mind, our Tianyuan Holy Dynasty is qualified to negotiate with him. Surrendering to him is just the last resort."
Talking and talking.
Emperor Tianyuan gradually regained his confidence.
"But what if Gu Changqing really wants to overturn the table?"
Ji Yan spoke at the right time, which brought Emperor Tianyuan back to his senses. He couldn't help but glared at Ji Yan, but he had to admit that it was really possible.
"In that case..."
Emperor Tianyuan hesitated for a moment, as if he had made some kind of determination in his eyes, and called a waiter. After a while, the waiter led an old man in sackcloth into the hall.
The old man was dressed in slightly old linen clothes, with a bamboo hat slung across his back and a slender green bamboo fishing rod on his shoulder. It was mottled and looked like its owner, who had been weathered.
His eyes also looked extremely old and muddy.
He looked like a common poor fisherman in the world.
There were many doubts in Ji Yan's eyes.
But seeing how seriously his father treated the old man, he did not dare to neglect him and quickly stood up to serve him.
"Old senior, you are polite!"
Emperor Tianyuan bowed slightly and saluted the old fisherman.
Seeing this scene, both Ji Yan and the eunuchs standing in the hall couldn't help but widen their eyes and were a little stunned.
Who is Emperor Tianyuan?
A person who has cultivated to the perfection of the Saint, and holds half of the Desolate Realm's human luck, can do it with all his strength, compared to a being who has just stepped into the Saint King Realm.
How could such a person be so respectful and polite to the old fisherman in front of him?
The old man in sackcloth had a calm expression and a playful smile. He didn't care about Emperor Tianyuan's respect, and his tone was even more indifferent.
"Why, the young man has finally thought it through?"
Young man said three words.
Ji Yan next to him was a little numb.
My father has been practicing cultivation for a hundred thousand years.
How come this old man in sackcloth is still a young man?
But looking at his father's respectful look towards the old man in sackcloth, Ji Yan didn't dare to say a word, and his heart was trembling even more.
To be able to make his father so respectful.
With the cultivation of this old man in sackcloth, even if he is not a Saint King, he should be the top being in the Saint King Realm!
How could such a person be invited by his father? And it sounds like they are willing to make some deals with their Tianyuan Holy Dynasty?
So if my family uses this to get in touch with such beings, wouldn't I have the opportunity to get such powerful people to teach them the methods of cultivation in the future?
For a moment, Ji Yan's heart beat faster.
On Emperor Tianyuan's side, after hearing the old man's words, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he nodded firmly.
"That's right! Junior, I've thought about it carefully!"
"Senior, I also ask you to take action for my family when necessary! In return, all the saintly beings of our Ji family will definitely respond to the call in the future, go to the borderlands, and defend for a hundred years as compensation!"
"Can."
The old man in sackcloth nodded and said no more.
The figure flashed and disappeared into the hall like a puff of smoke.
From start to finish.
Not even a shred of Qi energy showed up, just like a ghost, making Ji Yan and others look at each other, feeling in a trance and suspicious of life.
Fortunately, at this moment, a "pop" sound came from the throne.
It was Emperor Tianyuan. After sending the old man away, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on his seat.
It seemed that just exchanging a few words with the old man in hemp clothes would exhaust almost all of his energy!
"Father, what's the situation with this guy? Did he agree to our request just now? And what is the wasteland over there? Why do we have to guard it for a hundred years?"
Ji Yan rushed over, and at the same time, he had a hundred questions in his mind.
Emperor Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down a little, waved his hand to dismiss the people around him, and then spoke softly with a gasp.
"This old man came to our Tianyuan Holy Dynasty several months ago. I don't know where he came from. I only know that he is a member of our human race and has some feelings for our Tianyuan Holy Dynasty."
"Since he said yes, he naturally agreed to protect our Ji clan. As for the wasteland over there, not to mention you, even your father doesn't know. He only said that he would summon us again when we need him in the future."
The Emperor of Tianyuan said.
A strong hatred flashed in his eyes.
"If it weren't for that little thief named Gu Changqing, how could our Ji clan be here?"
Although I don't know what the wasteland over there is.
But the fact that the mysterious old man in hemp clothes only recruited the holy way beings of the Ji clan who were above the quasi-saint realm to garrison there is enough to prove that the place is extremely dangerous!
Garrison for a hundred years.
Even if they have the cultivation of quasi-saints or above, I'm afraid it's more likely to be dangerous, and it takes a lot of luck to return safely.
And all of this is thanks to Gu Changqing, how can the Emperor of Tianyuan not hate him? How can I not be angry?
Prince Ji Yan also reacted after listening to his father's story.
Hatred was also burning in his eyes.
His cultivation reached the perfection of Quasi-Saint.
If the mysterious old man in sackcloth wanted to recruit people in the future, he would also be among those to be recruited, and he would not be able to escape!
"Hateful! Hateful!"
"I just hope that Gu Changqing can know what's good for him and not push us too hard!"
Ji Yan cursed in a low voice, but couldn't help but speak.
After all, the transaction conditions between his father and the mysterious old man in sackcloth were that the old man in sackcloth would take action first to protect their family once.
Then, the holy existence of their family would be recruited to guard the border.
But if Gu Changqing knew the situation.
Then they would naturally not need the old man in sackcloth to take action, and naturally, they would not have to worry about being taken to the so-called border to guard.
Emperor Tianyuan nodded upon hearing this, but a hint of ruthlessness also appeared in his eyes: "However, if that little thief really takes action, I would also be happy to see it!"
"The strength of that old man in hemp clothes is far beyond our imagination!"
"That little thief has been smooth sailing since he came out of the wild tower, but in front of that old man in hemp clothes, he is like an ant! When he is killed, at that moment, his expression will definitely be extremely wonderful!"
Listening to the confident words of Emperor Tianyuan.
Ji Yan finally couldn't help but speak: "Father, what level of strength does that senior in hemp clothes have reached? Can he really deal with Gu Changqing?"
Although he hated Gu Changqing very much, thinking of Gu Changqing's achievements.
Ji Yan's heart, after all, it was difficult for him to have enough confidence.
Listening to his son's timid words, Emperor Tianyuan smiled mysteriously, looking at the place where the old man in hemp clothes was before, with a pair of eyes flashing with brilliance!
"Don't worry."
"With the strength of this old senior, it only takes a flip of his hand to kill Gu Changqing!"
The Emperor of Tianyuan said slowly: "I am the Lord of the Tianyuan Holy Dynasty, and I can see through all the movements in the imperial capital and even within a radius of 100,000 miles."
"And this old man in hemp clothes can escape from my perception in just a moment."
"What realm do you think he is in?"
The Emperor of Tianyuan's voice was light, but after it fell, it made the eyes of the Jiyan Prince burst into ecstasy!
One thought can travel 100,000 miles in an instant?
This speed of escape is impossible even for a perfect Saint King, even with the help of a magical escape method!
There is only one existence that can do this.
That is the Saint King above the Saint King!
Moreover, one thought can travel 100,000 miles, which is only the limit of the Emperor of Tianyuan's perception.
Even the Emperor of Tianyuan could not imagine how exaggerated the limit of the old man's escape speed was, which was why the Emperor of Tianyuan was so polite to the old man in hemp clothes!
"He is at least a Saint King, and it is even possible that he has reached the perfection of a Saint King or even above the Saint Path!"
There is such a being who is willing to protect the Ji family.
If Gu Changqing really dares to come, what awaits him is the most terrible death!
