Chapter 780 (Kill the Man, Take the Empire)
So, should she kill him right now?
No! She was an elder of the Supreme Spirit Sect. If she were to kill the Emperor directly in this situation, it would certainly be laughed at. After all, the Emperor had invited her up here, and if she killed him, it would seem quite disgraceful since the Emperor appeared weak.
Fang Meiying shielded Mu Ran behind her and watched Ye Hua vigilantly.
Ye Hua calmly said, "Don't be nervous. I won't harm you."
Fang Meiying: "..."
'Considering whether or not to harm you! And you're saying you won't harm me. That's a lot of self-assuredness you've got there!'
"Master, there won't be any problem," Mu Ran chimed in, seeming to trust Ye Hua.
Fang Meiying heard Mu Ran's words and suddenly felt uneasy. Why was Mu Ran speaking up for the other side? Had she fallen under some spell?
Fang Meiying quickly held Mu Ran's hand to check her condition.
Ye Hua didn't intervene, waiting quietly.
"Master, I'm fine, really," Mu Ran said softly.
Fang Meiying was puzzled; Mu Ran was indeed fine, but this was also quite abnormal.
"Your disciple here, I do rather admire," Ye Hua said casually.
"What are you planning?" Fang Meiying asked coldly.
Ye Hua chuckled lightly, "You brought people onto my territory and you're asking me what I'm planning? Your logic is flawed."
"I'm here to find my disciple, of course!" Fang Meiying said sternly.
"I see. So, does that mean that if I allow the person to leave, you will withdraw your troops?" Ye Hua asked calmly.
Fang Meiying's eyebrows slightly furrowed. She didn't answer.
At this moment, Mu Ran quickly persuaded, "Master, His Majesty has promised to let me go. Let's not launch an attack."
"Yes, Mu Ran is right. After all, these are three hundred thousand lives. While it might look beautiful to dye the snow with blood, it's also extremely cruel."
Mu Ran was at a loss for words and quickly explained, "Master, that's not what His Majesty meant."
Having her disciple plead for the Emperor several times in a row didn't sit well with Fang Meiying. At the moment, the most important thing was to get Mu Ran out of here!
"I'm taking the person away. If you want to stop me, give it a try," Fang Meiying said coldly, holding Mu Ran's hand. contemporary romance
"That's fine," Ye Hua had no intention of forcefully keeping Mu Ran.
"Go with your master."
"Wait a moment, Master," Mu Ran quickly said, addressing Ye Hua, "Your Majesty, my..."
Ye Hua knew what Mu Ran wanted to say, "Rest assured, I won't make things difficult for ordinary people."
Mu Ran nodded and looked at Cang Konghong behind her, then extended her hand to grab his.
This action caused Fang Meiying's expression to darken. Who was this muscular man with an iron mask? What was his relationship with Mu Ran?
In Cang Konghong's heart, countless curses floated around. How could Mu Ran... hold his hand in front of so many people? He really wanted to pull away!
But Your Honor had given an order. He couldn't pull away...
"Master, he saved me twice," Mu Ran explained.
Fang Meiying cast a faint look at Cang Konghong, then led the two of them back towards their camp, flying away.
Watching the three of them leave, a smile curved on Ye Hua's lips.
The three hundred thousand strong army saw Elder Fang bringing the person out, and they erupted in cheers of victory. Elder Fang was truly impressive! To take a person from the Emperor's hands, this was the first time they had witnessed such a scene!
Surely, this Emperor was retreating; he didn't dare to offend the mighty Supreme Spirit Sect.
Feng Yun, seeing Mu Ran being brought back, furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly unhappy. Why had Mu Ran been released so easily? Was the Voidless Empire truly afraid of the Supreme Spirit Sect...? This wasn't good at all.
With the Supreme Spirit Sect bringing so many people over, how could they possibly leave easily? Did the Supreme Spirit Sect want to claim this empire for themselves as well?
Feng Yun's speculation was indeed accurate. When they first arrived, the Supreme Spirit Sect hadn't been thinking of occupying the place. They only wanted to eliminate the people.
But now, they were considering taking the city as well. After all, the Voidless Empire was truly magnificent!
Relocating the Supreme Spirit Sect here would also be a face-saving move!
Back in their camp, Mu Ran respectfully called out to Ma Zhi, "Elder Ma."
Ma Zhi smiled faintly, "Mu Ran, I'm just glad you're okay."
"Master and Elder Ma were worried. Mu Ran feels guilty," she replied.
Ma Zhi smiled and then began discussing something with Fang Meiying.
Mu Ran was confused. Wasn't Master planning to withdraw?
"Master, what's this? Aren't we going back?" Mu Ran asked in bewilderment.
Fang Meiying looked at her disciple and said solemnly, "Mu Ran, do you know how your senior brother died?"
Mu Ran nodded and whispered, "Mu Ran heard about it. Senior brother trespassed into the Voidless Empire' airspace and was killed. But senior sister is fine."
Hearing Mu Ran's words, both Fang Meiying and Ma Zhi were somewhat baffled. Was Mu Ran blaming her own senior brother for trespassing on someone else's territory?
"Mu Ran! Do you even know what you're saying?" Fang Meiying scolded coldly.
Mu Ran also realised she misspoke and felt as though she was inadvertently speaking up for the Voidless Empire.
"Master, that's not what I meant. But if there's a battle today, people will definitely die. Mu Ran doesn't want..."
Mu Ran's words were cut off as Ma Zhi's voice grew heavy, "Mu Ran! Today, we're not just here to save you! We're also here to restore the dignity of the Supreme Spirit Sect!"
"But, Master, you already promised earlier..."
"Shut up! Are you their person or mine?" Fang Meiying scolded angrily, her hand twitching as if she wanted to slap Mu Ran, though she ultimately refrained. She was here to protect Mu Ran, after all.
Ma Zhi said calmly, "Mu Ran, do you think we'd have casualties in such a small place? We could crush this place in a matter of minutes!"
"Master! But you just promised His Majesty earlier..."
Smack!
Fang Meiying couldn't restrain herself from delivering a slap. Cang Konghong, standing nearby, twitched slightly, but he stopped himself from intervening. He was here to protect Mu Ran.
Covering her cheek, Mu Ran looked at her master in disbelief. This was the first time her master had hit her.
"Mu Ran! First understand your position before speaking to your master!" Fang Meiying scolded sharply.
Mu Ran fell silent, finally understanding why the Emperor had said what he did.
Everything he said was right. Even if she came out, they wouldn't leave...
Because she was just an excuse for them to take action.
Ye Hua, standing on the city wall, observed everything. Poor little Mu Ran, getting slapped by her master.
She really couldn't read the situation, that girl. She needed to learn much more.
Ye Hua felt he had seen enough, so he began walking down the stairs.
Among the army, Feng Yun stood respectfully before Fang Meiying and Ma Zhi. He cursed inwardly; they were shameless. They actually wanted to use his own people as cannon fodder...
However, at present, there was no other choice but to agree.
Mu Ran, standing on the side, was helpless. The magnificent Voidless Empire was about to be occupied... She couldn't let them withdraw. She had deceived the Emperor. If she remained in his hands, maybe things would be a bit better.
Feng Yun returned to his camp with the Supreme Spirit Sect's intentions in mind.
