Chapter 859 (The Wise Ones)
"Ah, more people are coming to their deaths."
"Yes, who knows what these people are thinking? Can\'t they find something better to do?"
"What else can they be thinking? They must believe our Voidless Empire is easy to mess with."
"Yes, but they never thought they were poking a hornet\'s nest this time."
As this was said, everyone at the tea stall burst into laughter. Even though the city gates were still open, people walked by, seemingly oblivious to the situation outside.
This trust in the Voidless Empire showcased its strength well, a testament to Yue Hua\'s good work. A powerful empire needed its people to have such awareness. If the masses didn\'t have confidence in you, what\'s the point?
However, Mu Xinhai was watching as his disciples returned, his expression growing increasingly grave.
"Master...help..." The disciple didn\'t manage to finish his sentence.
Bang!
The entire person suddenly exploded, and a vivid mist of blood filled the air, shocking everyone.
Mu Xinhai was taken aback. He had initially thought there was no need for anyone to die in this occupation of the Voidless Empire. But now, even before the battle had started, one person had died. It was like slapping himself in the face and making a mockery for others to see!
Lie Gu, standing on the city wall, grinned and shouted towards the opposite side, "Listen up! You people are already surrounded by us! On your right, you\'ll find the spectator area. If you don\'t want to die, you can go stand there. I\'ll consider you an audience!"
After saying that, Lie Gu waved his hand, and two large characters emerged: "Spectator Area."
Lie Gu understood the intention of Your Honor. In a situation like this, the outcome would undoubtedly be total annihilation. However, the news of that total annihilation had to be spread, so they needed to leave some survivors. But you couldn\'t leave survivors after the battle; they had to be announced beforehand.
Because only the smart ones did smart things, and fools only met death.
Lie Gu\'s actions surprised Mu Xinhai, who thought, \'This man is truly audacious! He said such words. It seems like you have no idea of my might! Up to now, we still hadn\'t seen the assembled army. This so-called empire is nothing special.\'
Xiang Liren and Shi Yi quietly stepped back a few paces.
"What should we do?" Xiang Liren felt uncertain. The Voidless Empire was rather unpredictable. He was genuinely afraid that Mu Xinhai would kick a hornet\'s nest, which would be disastrous.
Shi Yi whispered, "Don\'t worry. The Mansion Lord mentioned that Fan Jin is here. As long as there is a Heavenly Venerable inside, we are safe."
"But if he is not an Overlord and there happens to be one in Voidless Realm, what do we do? Do we have to die alongside him?" Xiang Liren was wavering. His gut feeling told him he should not stay here, but he should be on the spectator\'s side.
Shi Yi asked curiously, "What\'s wrong with you today? You seem paranoid."
"Up to now, we haven\'t seen Fan Jin. If he doesn\'t show up, how do we know if he\'s even real? Isn\'t it incredibly hard to invite him?" Xiang Liren was sceptical.
"You\'re not thinking of going to the spectator area, are you?" Shi Yi said in a low voice.
Xiang Liren didn\'t say anything. He was making a decision within himself. Whose side should he listen to? Not only Xiang Liren and Shi Yi but also Yang Yao and Shi Yu were facing a similar situation.
"Yang Yao, I think we shouldn\'t meddle in this," Shi Yu said, feeling uneasy. That disciple who had just exploded had put him on edge. This kind of behaviour was undoubtedly provoking the Prime Yang Mansion.
\'Today\'s bloodshed was certainly unavoidable, but as for the initial massacre... To hell with it! Who knows how they managed to kill one of our disciples? And now we\'re talking about a massacre? If we end up getting massacred in return, it will be our own undoing. So, the question is whether we should seize the chance at survival!\'
This is the real issue at hand.
However, Yang Yao didn\'t share the same thoughts as Shi Yu. He calmly said, "If you want to go, no one\'s stopping you."
Yang Yao still aimed to cosy up to the Prime Yang Mansion. He was gambling, betting on the Prime Yang Mansion\'s victory. If the Prime Yang Mansion won, he could benefit from it as well.
Shi Yu was now lost in thought, remembering that night when that man killed two Gods. He was likely a Venerable. And Mu Xinhai was also a Venerable. If a battle broke out, the outcome was uncertain. Such a battle wasn\'t something he, as an Order, should get involved in, so he needed to make his choice early.
But Shi Yu was still hesitating because he didn\'t know if his choice was correct.
Lie Gu on the city wall was getting impatient. They were all a bunch of daredevils!
"Ten more seconds for you!" Lie Gu shouted.
After hearing this, Mu Xinhai was puzzled. What was the deal with ten seconds?
Lie Gu began the countdown, "10! 9! 8!"
Hundreds of thousands of people listened to Lie Gu\'s countdown, but only two acted on it. Those two were Xiang Liren and Shi Yu. They realised the other side was giving them one last chance to make a choice, forcing them to decide.
"3! 2!"
Xiang Liren and Shi Yu almost wanted to curse. Just a moment ago, he was counting down from 8, and now he suddenly jumped to 2!
How shameless!
Mu Xinhai shouted at Lie Gu, "Stop shouting! No one will go there! We might as well have a good fight and let you all know how powerful my Prime Yang Mansion is! After I sweep your Voidless Empire, I\'ll make you kneel in front of me, counting down your remaining life!"
However, when Lie Gu reached "1"...
Two figures suddenly flew out of the massive crowd.
Mu Xinhai felt it, and his expression darkened instantly. He felt a sharp pain on his face. \'These two bastards! Why didn\'t they come out earlier? Did they have to wait until I had shouted something? They are slapping me in the face!\'
Mu Xinhai leaned over to take a look at who it was. When he saw that one of them was Xiang Liren, his entire body felt terrible. He was the person he had summoned, and now he is running away!
\'Are you out of your mind? Don\'t you know how powerful I am? And yet, you\'ve chosen to run to the spectator area to save your lives!\'
As for the other one, Mu Xinhai had forgotten who he was, just some insignificant person. But even if you\'re insignificant, I\'ll still have to kill you later!
For Xiang Liren and Shi Yu\'s escape, everyone around them burst into mocking laughter. These two losers had been scared away by just two people! It was truly embarrassing.
However, no one knew that Xiang Liren and Shi Yu had made a wise choice.
Shi Yi watched as Xiang Liren ran, feeling somewhat helpless. \'You\'re at the peak level God, and you\'ve been frightened off! If this gets out, how will you show your face? Your Broken Moon Valley will become a laughingstock.\'
