Chapter 2590: Chapter 2564: It’s Me! (Eight updates delivered!)
Behind him, the four people following are the disciples of the main branch of the Mu Family, namely Half-step Calamity Cutting Mu Liu, Great Void Peak Mu Fei, Great Void Eighth Layer Heaven Mu Wan, and Great Void Eighth Layer Heaven Mu Cang.
All the elders, including the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, were drenched in cold sweat, their original anger dissipating considerably due to the strength of these few individuals!
Not to mention there are five people, even just Mu You alone would be enough to crush the now less formidable Nine Remoteness Kingdom into dust!
The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom took a deep breath, forcibly initiating conversation, “Are you guests from the Mu Family?”
Mu You did not reply, but instead sneered with contempt, “Emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom?”
The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom nodded and said: “It is indeed me.”
“Heh.” Beside Mu You, Mu Cang scoffed coldly, his voice suddenly chilling as he said: “Having seen us of the main Mu Family, why doesn’t this mere emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom kneel?”
“Or do you really think you’re still under the protection of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor like in ancient times?”
The people of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom changed expressions upon hearing this!
Asking the emperor to kneel?
Others would kneel upon seeing the emperor, yet these people from the Divine Kingdom Mu Family are asking the emperor to kneel?
Domineering to the extreme!
If the emperor were to kneel, where would the royal authority stand?
This is directly trampling the dignity of their Nine Remoteness Kingdom underfoot!
And it further smears the face of their faith, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor!
Mu You and the others, wearing cold smiles, what’s wrong with the Mu Family being domineering? What can a declining Nine Remoteness Kingdom do to them?
The Lingwu Continent might have been strong in the past, but now is not ancient times!
The Divine Kingdom is growing stronger while the Lingwu Continent has been declining!
The Nine Remoteness Kingdom even more so!
Mu Ye of the branch Mu Family in the Divine Kingdom might not be anything much,
but their main Mu Family has the right to speak up!
In this Lingwu Continent, in this Nine Remoteness Kingdom, the Mu Family is heaven!
Exalt Huang’s face changed dramatically, stepping forward with a flattering smile and said to Mu You: “Are you Young Master Mu You of the Mu Family? There might be some misunderstanding about this…”
However, before he could finish, a man standing next to Mu You with a cold face and sharp features suddenly flashed a stern look in his eyes, and his aura violently burst forth!
This man was Half-step Calamity Cutting Mu Liu!
The fierce aura surged out and instantly hit Exalt Huang, causing him to fly backward like a kite with a broken string, vomiting blood wildly, his body caving in, with countless bones broken!
The entire person collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball, grievously injured and on the brink of death!
Merely with his aura, he blasted a Great Void existence to the brink of death!
“We are speaking to the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, how dare you, a worthless cur, interject?”
Meanwhile, a flicker of displeasure crossed his eyes; his casually released aura failed to directly kill this trash?
“Exalt Huang!” The tributes of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom roared, their eyes wide with shock and fury, their bodies brimming with killing intent, as if they were ready to fight with their lives!
A distinguished tribute in the Imperial Palace, being grievously injured right in front of the emperor, how could they tolerate it?
“Stand down!” Just then, a commanding male voice resonated in the palace.
The tributes hesitated and looked towards the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom.
The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom took a deep breath and said, “By my command, no one is to attack the distinguished guests of the Mu Family!”
Saying so, he actually bent both knees and indeed knelt in front of Mu You and the others!
In an instant, the faces of those tributes turned ashen!
The emperor they admired and obeyed had actually knelt to others!
Shouldn’t the emperor be the symbol of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, one who should die standing rather than kneeling?
With the emperor kneeling, the nation is no more!
Yet, the disciples of the Mu Family were filled with mocking laughter.
“Heh, he really knelt!”
“Impressive, this is the king of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom?”
“Right, if it weren’t lying down like a dog, how could it have lasted so many years? It would have been crushed by our people from the Divine Kingdom long ago, right?”
Those Tribute who previously wanted to fight desperately, at this moment, are powerless to refute…
And the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, at this time, had his head slightly lowered, his face as still as water, and in his tiger-like eyes, flickered a cold fury!
Why did he kneel? Was it out of fear of death, abandoning the dignity of his kingdom?
No!
Of course not!
Although he was opportunist and always tried to please those from the Divine Kingdom, at the end of the day, he was the ruler of a nation, with his own bottom lines and dignity!
The reason he knelt was because he knew this was the only way to protect the Nine Remoteness Kingdom!
The only way to protect the bloodline of the Demon Emperor within the Nine Nether Underground Palace!
He could die, he could be humiliated!
But Mu Yan cannot die!
Otherwise, he would truly have let the Demon Emperor down!
The people of the Divine Kingdom had not divided the Lingwu Continent because of the supervision of the Divine Alliance.
But this time, Mu Ye died in the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, and although it was Ye Chen who killed him, it was inseparably related to the Nine Remoteness Kingdom!
Thus, the Mu Family had the excuse they needed to eradicate the Nine Remoteness Kingdom!
He knew that if he showed even a hint of resistance, not only would he die, but the entire royal family and population of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom would perish!
The Daughter of Demon Emperor would also die!
He knew that if there was still a sliver of hope for the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, it was to delay!
To delay until the moment Ye Chen arrived!
If that meant sacrificing his own dignity and kneeling like a dog before the people of the Mu Family, so be it!
If it meant he would no longer be emperor if the Nine Remoteness Kingdom could survive this calamity, so be it!
The only one disgraced would be Gu Nanfei himself!
He would rather die than suffer such a great dishonor, yet, he would prefer to endure such humiliation to ensure the survival of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom! To secure Mu Yan, the Daughter of Demon Emperor! Even if it just added a glimmer of hope, he was willing.
This was his duty as an emperor!
Mu You looked down at the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom kneeling before him, and coldly uttered, “My little brother, was it you who killed him?”
As he spoke, the formidable aura of the Disaster Slaying realm surged out wildly, suppressing the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom!
Mu Ye had mediocre talent, but he was a soul cultivator after all, and importantly one of the Mu Family. Dying in such a backward place was a disgrace to the Mu Family.
Thus, the Mu Family needed to wash away the dishonor.
The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a puff sound, the Ancient Dragon Sword buzzed loudly, immense emperorial energy rolling up, resisting this endless pressure.
Without the Ancient Dragon Sword, just the aura alone would have crushed him to death, wouldn’t it? Even more, he felt that any thought of deceiving Mu You would kill him.
He spoke with great difficulty, “No.”
Mu You’s gaze flickered; he knew, under the pressure of his own aura, the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom had no possibility of lying.
“Who was it?” His tone colder by a degree.
The emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom’s gaze trembled, his heart already icy, uttering Ye Chen’s name would render them valueless to the Mu Family.
What would their fate be then?
But not to say it? If he died, it would be Ninth Princess or Mu Yan who would suffer!
Just at this moment!
Outside the Imperial Palace, suddenly there came a soft male voice.
“It was me.”
Mu You and the others furrowed their brows, turning around, looking towards the door.
Entering the doorway were two men.
These two were naturally Ye Chen and Zhou Yuanxin!
Only at this moment, neither were dressed in the robes of the Divine Extreme Sect disciples.
Seeing Ye Chen, the emperor of the Nine Remoteness Kingdom became extremely agitated, tears directly welling up in his eyes, his voice trembling, “Young Master Ye! You finally arrived!”
