228: Chapter 219: Is it an Invitation?
Or a Request?
The Yun Country Royal Family bowed their heads, which didn’t co as a surprise to anyone.
After all, the entourage that Mo Wangchen had brought back was too shocking, and most importantly, he had actually beco the Pill Sect Saint!
This ant that in the future, Mo Wangchen was very likely to beco the Pill Sect Master, one of the three great leaders.
Compared to the Pill Sect, Yun Country seed insignificant.
Soon after, following a mont of silence throughout the venue, a series of disordered footsteps could be heard from not too far away.
Under the escort of a team of Forbidden Guards, Mo Xiaotian and several other high-ranking mbers of the Mo Family arrived at the plaza.
“Chen’er?!”
At first, Mo Xiaotian thought Yun Country was going to execute them, but upon arriving at the plaza, he noticed sothing was off.
When he saw Mo Wangchen and the people behind him, each emitting a terrifying aura, he also understood what was happening.
Mo Xiaotian’s eyes reddened instantaneously, for at this mont, Mo Wangchen had truly grown up in his heart!
The father’s body had thinned out, his wrists and ankles bore several red welts, clearly caused by the long-term wearing of shackles in the Heavenly Prison.
With a pale complexion and his white prison garb stained with traces of blood, it wasn’t difficult for Mo Wangchen to imagine how much his father had suffered over the past two months.
He took a deep breath, his eyes slightly reddened, yet he held back his tears.
Then, he turned around, looked again in the direction of the people of Yun Country, and his gaze grew much colder at that mont.
“The suffering of my father cannot be in vain; this score, I must settle!”
The chilling voice echoed, sending shivers through everyone’s hearts.
“Mo Wangchen, your father has already been released.
Don’t be too presumptuous!” Yun Yi’s face looked very ugly as he stepped out and shouted sternly.
Whoosh!
However, as he spoke, Mo Wangchen’s figure turned into a shadow and dashed forward, reaching Yun Yi in the blink of an eye with such speed that everyone failed to react.
Hum!
The Yuanhong Sword was pressed against Yun Yi’s throat, quivering slightly.
Had it moved even slightly closer, Yun Yi would have already beco a corpse.
“Too presumptuous?”
Mo Wangchen sneered, his gaze cold as he looked at Yun Yi, a flash of icy light passing in his eyes, “When Yun Country unjustly found a reason to imprison my father and the others, did you really think I would let it go after just two months of prison suffering?”
“Such incredible speed!”
Around them, as the crowd processed what had happened, their eyes showed shocked expressions.
Clearly, Mo Wangchen’s strength was no longer what they had imagined.
They rembered when he left Yun Country, he was only at the third or fourth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
But now, the speed he had displayed, not even those in the Returning Ruins Realm could match!
“Since when did he learn swordsmanship?”
Next to Yun Yi, Jun Muqing’s face was also extrely ugly, her eyes full of astonishnt.
The strength that Mo Wangchen had just displayed far surpassed her own.
Today was supposed to be her wedding day with the Crown Prince, a day where dignitaries from all over would attend, and she was one of the main characters.
However, due to Mo Wangchen’s appearance, things had developed to this extent.
Hum!
Suddenly, from the far horizon, a sound of breaking wind approached quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above the plaza.
Without needing a deliberate reminder, everyone’s gaze turned upwards, and then they saw a slender figure slowly floating there.
“Master?”
Jun Muqing was stunned for a mont, her eyes widening in surprise as she was the first to recognize the newcor—it was her ntor, the Dean of Yun Chu Academy, Su Yi!
However, after Su Yi had taken her as a disciple, she had left Yun Country and it had been a year since, and surprisingly, she had now returned unexpectedly.
Moreover, at this mont, there was also a presence upon Su Yi, one that had reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Su Yi didn’t pay attention to Jun Muqing.
After rushing over, her gaze fell upon Mo Wangchen, “Could you do a favor and not harm the people of Yun Country?”
“Are you representing the Xuannv Sect, or are you speaking on behalf of Yun Country?” Mo Wangchen looked indifferent, having recognized Su Yi too.
In the past, during the Alchemy competition, this person had sat next to Xu nglan.
Now, hearing how Jun Muqing addressed her, he imdiately understood sothing.
Su Yi was silent for a mont before saying, “Yun Country.”
“Why?” Mo Wangchen was perplexed.
If the other party had co on behalf of the Xuannv Sect, perhaps there would indeed be so trouble.
After all, just like the Pill Sect, the Xuannv Sect was one of the three great powers of the Northern Region, but unexpectedly, Su Yi was representing Yun Country.
“The Yun Country Royal Family certainly has many contemptible actions, but I am, after all, a person of Yun Country, and I have received the favor of the Royal Family.
You, and the Mo Family behind you, also belong to Yun Country.
Overthrowing an Imperial Dynasty might be very easy with your current status, but do you realize how many citizens Yun Country has?”
“If the Royal Family were to et with disaster, Yun Country would also fall into great chaos, and the common people would be displaced.
This is what I do not wish to see.”
Upon hearing these words, Mo Wangchen was silent, looking at her.
After a mont, he said faintly, “Worldly praise and criticism, the cold eyes of the masses, what do they have to do with ?”
With that said, Mo Wangchen’s sword moved away from Yun Yi’s throat, but its sharp edge remained undiminished as it was placed over Yun Yi’s heart.
Under the gazes of everyone present, his sword trembled slightly, and a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Mo Wangchen!”
Just as the Yuanhong Sword was about to pierce into Yun Yi’s heart, suddenly, Jun Muqing called out sternly by his side.
The sword paused, stopping there, with blood flowing out—the tip had pierced Yun Yi’s skin, but not too deeply.
Turning his eyes, he saw Jun Muqing’s face was ashen.
After taking a deep breath, “Please…
please let Yun Yi go.”
“What right do you have to ask to release him?” asked Mo Wangchen with an indifferent expression.
“Are you asking?
Or begging?”
Upon hearing this, Jun Muqing’s complexion turned a little paler and finally, through gritted teeth, she said, “I’m begging you!
Let Yun Yi go!”
“The high and mighty Jun Muqing, Yun Country’s foremost talent, the pride of the Jun Family, when have you ever been willing to bow down and beg ?
I rember quite clearly, back then, you treated like an insignificant ant, not worthy of your notice.
Why are you willing to set aside your pride now?”
Mo Wangchen responded with a faint smile, his words spreading out.
Jun Muqing’s face turned even paler, laughing bitterly in her heart.
Indeed, she was once the top talent of Yun Country, her brilliance overshadowing her peers, her talents unmatched among the younger generation.
In the future, she was to be one of the foremost figures in Yun Country.
However, due to Mo Wangchen’s sudden rise, that so-called pride of hers beca a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
“Since you’re begging, you should at least look the part.
The way you are now, it doesn’t seem like you’re begging ,” Mo Wangchen said looking at Jun Muqing, his words light.
“You!”
Jun Muqing’s complexion beca even paler, her lips bleeding from the bite, but ultimately, she took a deep breath, stepped back, and was about to kneel before everyone present.
“You kneeling, I cannot accept.”
However, before her knees touched the ground, Mo Wangchen flicked his finger, and a burst of Spiritual Power made Jun Muqing stand upright again.
Clang!
The Yuanhong Sword was withdrawn from Yun Yi’s chest and returned to its sheath.
Mo Wangchen turned his eyes and looked towards Emperor Yun, “Fangtian City, as well as several nearby cities, must be ceded to the Mo Family as territory.
If even one soldier or one foot of Yun Country dares to step in…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but the alarming cold light that flashed past in his eyes caused a tremor in Emperor Yun’s heart.
