Chapter 362 Meeting His Majesty
Chapter 362 Meeting His Majesty
我是人吗?
Xiao thought about this problem seriously.
Green Goblin is not a human, he is a fairy beast.
The Red Goblin is not a human either, he is a karmic obstacle... or perhaps, a messenger?
I... I should be a human, right?
Two to one, okay, I'm not human.
Xiao analyzed this randomly in his mind and asked, "Why do you ask?"
Ye Lingchuan looked as if he had expected Xiao to ask this question and replied, "The title 'Phoenix Clan Relic' is not for humans."
Oh, it turns out that it was the mountain god who dug the pit.
"How do you tell if a person is a human?" Xiao asked again.
Ye Lingchuan replied: "The blood concentration has reached 100%."
"Well, I'm indeed not a human." Xiao said lightly.
Although this body could not withstand the full force of the Red Goblin for some reason, it was indeed the Green Goblin's. The blood flowing in its body was the blood of the Golden-winged Roc King, without any impurities, which obviously met the requirement of 100% blood concentration.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Nothing, just making the final confirmation." Ye Lingchuan shook his head. There was no joy on his face that his doubts were answered, but only relief that "it's just as I expected."
He was originally confused as to how Xiao and the others managed to get up there even though his strength as a great emperor was hindered by the wind and snow and he could not reach the top of Baihe Mountain. Now he completely understood.
The benefits brought by blood are sometimes so hard to accept.
"By the way," Ye Lingchuan added, "I will report this matter. His Majesty should meet with you later."
"Um……"
Xiao really wants to ask, can I not see him?
It is rumored that the inheritance of the human emperor has never been cut off, and they know many unknown secrets. Xiao does have some questions that he wants the human emperor to answer, but he is hiding some secrets that are inconvenient to tell others. Meeting him when they don't know each other well, he feels a little uneasy.
If there is a being similar to a inherited divine beast around the emperor, and it sees through his situation, how will the emperor treat him?
Although those who have seen through Xiao's internal condition treat him quite well, there are too few examples after all and they are not representative.
He is the one who possesses the power of the Order. Now the Order has led a tide of beasts to invade the territory and slaughtered countless lives. Will the emperor treat him as an enemy and kill him?
If so, the situation is dire.
Ye Lingchuan read the worry on Xiao's face, thinking he was experiencing stage fright. He forced a smile and explained, "Don't worry, it's just a simple meeting, just to get to know each other. Well... it's like suddenly finding out that the family's direct descendant still has a legacy, and a family member wants to see the world. His Majesty won't make things difficult for you."
Is that true? From the stories I've read, the next development should be that the family members will try every possible means to eliminate this direct lineage, seize the inheritance, and become the new head of the family.
Xiao didn't quite believe what Ye Lingchuan said.
Moreover, the metaphor of the direct line of the family is too strange. I can't possibly have any relationship with the royal family, right?
That's too ridiculous. I'm a time traveler, and I came here wearing and carrying the body of "Xiao" himself.
Xiao finished his inner complaints, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xuan Zu is a top-level expert, but he is still polite to you. Why is that?"
This question has puzzled Xiao for quite some time. In this kind of high-level martial arts world, common sense says that force should be respected, and whoever has the stronger fist and the stronger words should count.
According to his stereotype, people like Xuanzu should be either high and mighty, looking down on everyone as ants, or arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone. However, he turned out to be quite easy to talk to, especially when he cooperated very well with the ceremony of certifying the right to enter the mountain. Even though the ceremony failed in the end, he did not vent his anger on the City Lord Bai who conducted the ceremony because of the loss of face.
Ye Lingchuan replied, "Well, because we are His Majesty's subjects, in the mortal world, the people of the immortal world must respect us and not use force against us. This is the rule."
"rule?"
Xiao was puzzled. What kind of rule had such binding force? Was it a rule that if a person violated the rule, he would be punished by the Rock Eater?
"Yes, the rules are like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and the river flows from west to east."
Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Wow, it’s actually the rules of heaven and earth, this is amazing.
"So, if I join you, Xuanzu and his ilk won't be able to do anything to me in this world?"
Ye Lingchuan said "Oh" and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "What did you do?"
Xiao told the story of how he kidnapped Luoxing, who was sent by Xuanzu to destroy the center of the formation, and used him to attack the messenger.
After hearing this, Ye Lingchuan smiled and said, "The existence of Baihe Mountain was originally the work of the late emperor. What you are doing is also protecting the interests of the royal family. We will protect you."
Hearing Ye Lingchuan's promise, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It is still early to meet with His Majesty the Emperor. Some changes may occur in the middle, making it unnecessary for me to meet him. As for now, I should take this opportunity to resolve the possible troubles.
He took the initiative to change the subject: "How is the battle going?"
Ye Lingchuan began to talk about the battle in a disjointed manner.
The main force of the beast tide was intercepted by the army ten kilometers away from Baihe City. Only a small group of beasts broke in and were stopped by the city defense formation.
After the first battle, the improved formation had not suffered any damage and was in good condition. The casualties among the soldiers were not many. If this momentum continued, it would be no problem to hold out for a few months.
This time was enough for them to find a way to go into the mountains and eliminate Xueying.
The more troublesome thing is that the corrosive force has invaded the city along the water veins, causing some pollution and mutations. The situation is still under control, but the team transporting food and water has been intercepted by the beast tide. If the team is unable to break through, there is a high probability that another accident will occur in the city.
Fortunately, the mountain god took action and quickly ended the war with the power of thunder.
This is the second defensive battle that Xiao participated in.
After listening to Ye Lingchuan's story, he thought to himself that they had been fighting against these disasters for three or four years. Compared with the rapid defeat at the beginning of the war, the current response measures were much more mature. The changes that occurred were also due to the special location of Baihe City, where there was a sleeping god.
A burnt smell wafted into Xiao's nostrils, and he then noticed that the Swift Heron they were riding was flying rapidly across the battlefield.
He leaned out and looked down, only to see the moonlight pouring down, the scorched earth forming a sharp contrast with the white moonlight.
This is the work of the mountain god.
In some places, ashes piled up into small hills several meters high. It seemed that there was an army stationed here, and the pile of corpses they left was burned to ashes by the underground fire caused by the mountain god, leaving only these ashes.
Xiao felt Red Xiao's excitement.
Maybe I slept too long and my hands are itchy?
Xiao thought about it and looked forward.
A towering city stands in the distance, with bright lights on the city walls and inside the city as well, like a luminous pearl embedded in the twilight.
From a distance, Xiao could vaguely hear the cheers and noises of the people in the city.
He suddenly realized that the crisis was over.
At the same time, thousands of miles away, at the Yufeng Gate.
"Master! Master!"
A disciple took a few steps up the long steps in front of the Imperial Phoenix Hall and ran into the hall in a hurry.
A chessboard was placed in the center of the hall. The leader of the Imperial Phoenix Sect, who was playing against a hall master, was twisting a chess piece in his hand. He looked up at the disciple who was running breathlessly, and frowned slightly. "Why are you so flustered?"
"People from Yuanliu are here. They say they have something important to discuss with the Sect Master."
"Yuan Liu?" The leader of the Yufeng Sect narrowed his eyes slightly. "What are they doing here?"
"Disciple, I don't know. They said they want to talk to you in person."
"..."
The leader of the Imperial Phoenix Sect turned his gaze back and met the eyes of the Palace Master opposite him. The latter tilted his head and said, "Let's go and take a look?"
"Okay, let's play this game next time." The leader of the Yufeng Sect nodded, put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess pot, stood up and left the hall.
