"I didn't expect that he would actually force the Holy Land to such a state!”
In the hall, Chu Hong's expression was solemn as he looked at the eleven vassal kings sitting on both sides.""It's about time for us to put away our little thoughts.”
As soon as he said this, all the vassal kings fell silent and no one refuted.
From the very beginning, when the Li Fire Monarch left and Lin Xiao ascended the throne, they did have some other thoughts.
After all, every one of them was a Life and Death Realm expert, and they had a large army.
It would be impossible for him not to covet that position.
But now, when the news of Lin Xiao leading the army to fight the Holy Land, destroying the enemy and even making the Supremacy retreat returned to the capital...
The illusion in his heart was completely shattered!
After all, this was something that even the Li Fire Monarch had never done during his reign.
After a while, Han Mu's eyes flashed with a strange light.""But what if His Majesty bears a grudge against us for not congratulating the coronation in time a few days ago?”
Seeing the new emperor display such a method, he always had a strong sense of unease in his heart.
It was as if that matter was about to be exposed.
Therefore, no matter what, the most important thing now was to tie the other vassal kings to his chariot as soon as possible.
"Ha, Prince Han, you don't have to play those little tricks in front of everyone!”
The one who spoke was the King of Yunzhou, Marquis Chu Yun.
He glanced at Han Mu and sneered,"You can hide what happened in Lin Province from others, but do you really think you can hide it from us?”
Since everyone present could sit in the position of a prince, they were naturally not simple people.
Han Mu's intentions were too obvious.
As Marquis Chu Yun spoke, the other vassal kings also spoke.
"If it was before His Majesty defeated the Holy Land, I might have considered helping you, but now? Forget it!"
"That's right. Even the Holy Land was defeated. Could it be that a mere vassal king like us can compare to the Holy Land?”
……
Every word was like a hammer that hammered heavily on Han Mu's heart, causing his face to turn even paler.
When Chu Hong saw this, he could not help but sigh and say,""The things we do in private are at most increasing taxes and deducting some resources.”
"Although he is guilty, he won't die.”
"But what you have done has crossed the line.”
"On account of our former comrade-in-arms, we have never reported you.”
"Moreover, a few days ago, I saw with my own eyes that the survivors of a village in Lin Province had already reported to the emperor. Perhaps His Majesty already knows about this!”
"Therefore, don't try to drag us down with you. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!”
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
That Lin Xiao even dared to slaughter the people of the Holy Land, let alone a mere vassal king like him?
If that Han Mu was stubborn, he could only…
However, when Han Mu heard that someone had already reported him, his entire body seemed to be struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.
He thought back to how he had killed the vassal king and defeated the Holy Land.
Fear enveloped him tightly, and he almost couldn't breathe.
After a long while, Han Mu suddenly woke up. He looked at the vassal kings and pleaded,""What…what should I do now?”
He believed that if this scene was spread out, it would definitely shock the world!
He was a dignified Life and Death Realm expert, a vassal king of a state, yet he was frightened to such an extent!
"Before His Majesty obtains any evidence, I advise you to take the initiative to seek an audience with His Majesty and clarify the facts.”
" In that case," Marquis Chu Yun said calmly," His Majesty might spare you on account of your friendship with the Great Emperor."”
"If His Majesty gets the evidence, based on what you've done, at the very least, your entire family will be executed!”
"Think about it yourself!"
As Marquis Chu Yun's voice fell, Han Mu felt his legs go weak.
His breathing was rapid, and his eyes were filled with struggle.
Was he really going to turn himself in to His Majesty?
However, what was the difference between that and seeking death?
But if he didn't go…
"Bang!"
At this moment, the tightly shut door was kicked open!
Chu He strode in from outside the door."Lin Prefecture King Han Mu! Follow me!"
Behind him were more than ten Nascent Soul realm experts scattered throughout the courtyard.
He did not expect Lin Xiao to attack so quickly!
Han Mu…was finished!
For a moment, Chu Hong and the other lords looked at Han Mu with pity in their eyes.
If he had gone to the Imperial Palace earlier to plead with His Majesty, he would not have ended up in such a passive position.
Feeling those strange gazes, Han Mu's eyes could not help but twitch.
His heart, which was originally filled with struggle, suddenly became firm.
His expression was ferocious, and veins popped out on his forehead.
He would die anyway, so he had to fight it out!
Han Mu clenched his fists tightly, and his body swayed as he charged towards Chu He!
His Life and Death Realm aura exploded, causing the entire house to shake violently.
However, facing such an attack, Chu He sneered and did not take it to heart at all.
The true energy in his body flowed. With a flip of his wrist, a long golden rope appeared in his palm like a ghost.
With the influx of true energy, the long rope seemed to come alive.”In an instant, it flew in front of Han Mu.
Before Han Mu could react, he was tied up tightly by the long rope.
His body, which had been charging forward, fell to the ground with a thud.
"You bastard!"
Han Mu cursed as he struggled.
However, his zhenqi seemed to have been sealed. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move at all.
"This is…the Spirit Sealing Rope?"
Chu Hong could not help but stand up, his eyes filled with shock!
The Spirit Sealing Rope was a high-grade Heaven Realm magic treasure! It had always been kept in the Divine Weapon Pavilion of the Lifire Capital.
Its function was to restrict the movements of the opponent. Cultivators below the Celestial Martial realm could also directly seal the true qi in their bodies!
The reason why it could be ranked as a high-grade Heaven Rank was far from enough!
The real reason was that this Spirit Sealing Rope did not have too many restrictions on the user!
As long as one was a cultivator, even if they had just entered the Qi Refining Realm, they could still use this magic treasure to suppress Life and Death Realm experts!
The moment Chu Hong said that, everyone was shocked!
The hearts of all the vassal kings couldn't help but churn.
How could a mere Chu He obtain such a treasure?
"Chu He! This king has never had any enmity with you, so why would you use such methods to deal with this king?”
Han Mu let out a low and hysterical roar.
However, Chu He sneered and said,"The Shengtian Guards have always taken orders from His Majesty!”
"I will take whoever Your Majesty wants me to take!”
