Chapter 9: Why Does Your Majesty Harm Me?
Astonishing!
Apart from astonishment, there were no words to describe the shock that Ye Ning’s words brought to people.
He dared to say such things!
Not to mention the entire court officials, even the six kings and Ji Mingyue, at this moment, were stunned!
Ye Ning said, “The Immortal Sect is ruthless, treating ordinary people as pigs and dogs!”
This was true.
The court officials and ministers resonated strongly with this statement.
Although they were all high-ranking officials, they were not detached from the common people.
After all, their so-called nobility was worlds apart from the immortals.
Therefore, they were very clear about the true nature of the Immortal Sect.
The true nature of the Immortal Sect was to be aloof!
Those without cultivation, whether they were scholars, farmers, artisans, or merchants, were nothing but ants.
Not even worthy of being considered a life.
If they were killed, so be it. Who cares?
Not all immortals were equally indifferent, but for most cultivators, once they embark on the path of cultivation, it signified a transformation of the hierarchy of life.
At least in their eyes, ordinary people had lost the qualification to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Ye Ning said, “If immortals do not die, great thieves will not cease!”
The six kings were feeling complex emotions. They leaned on the Immortal Sect and vied for supremacy in the world, appearing powerful, but in reality, they were just pawns.
How much of what they did, how many disputes they caused was out of their own intentions, and how much was at the command of the Immortal Sect?
If there were no Immortal Sect in the world, the gap between people would not be so vast.
Matters of ordinary people would be resolved by ordinary people themselves, instead of being manipulated like pieces on a chessboard by immortals.
Ye Ning said, “The Immortal Sect is the root cause of chaos in this world.”
On this point, Ji Mingyue could deeply relate.
As the Emperor of the Great Zhou, he naturally understood the history of his dynasty.
During the reign of the Great Emperor, the Great Zhou was prosperous, and the people lived in peace. Even the Immortal Sect had to obey the laws of the court and refrain from taking lives.
At that time, there was contention among the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the world was at peace, akin to a flourishing age of fire and oil.
Since the rise of the Immortal Sect, the world had been in turmoil, the people had been suffering, and the immortals had been causing mischief.
The laws of the court became useless.
The Immortal Sect even levied exorbitant taxes, demanding from both the court and the people. The amount required for their daily cultivation was astronomical.
And all these costs were borne by ordinary people.
Sure enough, decisive action when it’s time to act.
When this brother becomes the Heavenly Emperor, I will definitely not forget you!
In Ye Ning’s heart, he admired He Yuan unexpectedly.
Come on, use your most ruthless means. Don’t spare me, come at me!
“Presumptuous! I will never let you harm Ye Qing!”
But at this critical moment, a cold shout was heard.
It was Ji Mingyue stepping forward.
He held an oil lamp!
The oil lamp had no wick, but it burned with a snow-white flame.
With a gentle blow, the flame shattered like fireworks.
When it reappeared, it was already by Ye Ning’s side, rushing up suddenly and obliterating the green light emitted by He Yuan!
“Hmm? Emperor’s Artifact?”
Everyone was shocked.
The so-called Emperor’s Artifact was an object used by the Great Zhou Great Emperor.
Because he was proficient in martial arts, anything he frequently used was imbued with his aura and contained incredible power.
It’s just that such Emperor’s Artifacts had been exhausted over thousands of years.
This was also because of the Immortal Sect. In order to suppress the sects, they forced the royal family to hand over a large number of Emperor’s Artifacts.
Many people thought that the Emperor no longer possessed any Emperor’s Artifacts.
Unexpectedly, there were still remnants!
The Emperor’s Artifact was a trump card. At critical moments, it could save lives. Ji Mingyue, who had hidden it for many years, unexpectedly brought it out at this moment and saved Ye Ning’s life!
This sacrifice was not insignificant!
But everyone could understand. After all, someone like Ye Ning was worth the Emperor’s sacrifice.
“Today, I and Ye Ning, monarch and minister, share humiliation. If the immortal wants to kill him, please kill me first!”
Ji Mingyue’s gaze was firm as he spoke word by word.
If you don’t betray me, I won’t betray you!
To anyone witnessing this, it was a moving scene.
The harmony between monarch and minister like this, passed down through the ages, would surely be an example for countless future generations to follow.
But for Ye Ning, who was involved, his nose was almost twisted from anger.
He stared incredulously at Ji Mingyue, as if encountering the most shameless betrayal!
Should I say FML or not?
I helped you, and you actually harmed me!
