Then, the cultivators on the street dispersed.
Those who had wives and children would escort them out of the city immediately.
As for the cultivators who were alone and had nothing to worry about, they began to lobby on other streets, hoping to persuade more people to stay.
Even though they knew that with their combat strength, they would not be able to affect the outcome of the battle two days later.
However, the rise and fall of the world, everyone has a responsibility.
This was definitely not empty talk.
After an intense struggle, other than a small number of cultivators who were unwilling to stay, the vast majority of the cultivators in the entire Li Fire Imperial City chose to stay.
Even though they knew what kind of danger they would face if they chose to stay.
And a large factor in this was that Lin Xiao had the absolute upper hand in the confrontation with the Holy Land.
Later on, he even suppressed the North Region Holy Land.
It allowed these cultivators to see a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness.
In order to hold onto this ray of light tightly and not let it fade away, they were willing to bet everything, including their lives!
Otherwise, if it had been a year ago, under the suppression of the Holy Land for a hundred years, they would have been disheartened. In the face of such a situation, not even a tenth of them would have chosen to stay.
……
Emperor Palace.
Just as Lin Xiao was discussing with the officials in the court, Wang Meng strode in and bowed to Lin Xiao.
"Your Majesty, you have to help me this time!”
When Wang Meng said this, all the officials could not help but be stunned. Clearly, they did not understand what was going on with Wang Meng.
Lin Xiao raised his hand, indicating for the other party to continue.
Wang Meng laughed bitterly and immediately recounted what had happened just now.
Hearing this, all the officials in the court could not help but feel their hearts burn, and the blood in their bodies began to boil.
Who said that the human race had no heroes?
"If that's the case, this emperor should also toast this group of people!”
Lin Xiao smiled and said,""Minister Situ."
"Your subject is here!"
Situ Qing hurriedly took a step forward and cupped his hands.
"I'll leave this matter to you!"
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Situ Qing immediately accepted the order and turned around to leave the Thearch Palace.
Seeing this scene, Wang Meng could not help but reveal a simple and honest smile.
He knew that His Majesty would not disappoint the world.
Lin Xiao glanced at Wang Meng and said," There's a score that I haven't settled with you yet. What's there to laugh about?"”
Wang Meng's smile froze.
Lin Xiao said to himself," You made a decision without reporting it to me. I'll punish you with three years of salary as a warning."”
"Are you convinced?"
Wang Meng's face almost turned sour, but he did not dare to say anything.
He could only obediently cup his hands."I accept my punishment."
Seeing the other party's appearance, the officials could not help but laugh.
In the entire Li Fire Capital, the only person who could make Marshal Wang so obedient was probably His Majesty, the Firmament Emperor.
At this moment, the jade slip on the table in front of Lin Xiao suddenly lit up.
After sending in a trace of his divine soul, he heard a voice.
"Your Majesty, there's a guy who claims to be King Jiujiang who wants to see you!”
"Let him enter the Emperor Palace!"
After saying that, Lin Xiao casually cut off the conversation and continued to discuss political affairs with the ministers.
Soon, King Jiujiang's figure appeared in front of the Thearch Palace.
Obviously, he also knew his current appearance.
Therefore, he was still wearing that black robe, wrapped tightly.
However, almost as soon as he entered the Thearch Palace, he was so scared that he almost knelt down.
"Who…who are these people?”
There were nearly a hundred people in the Imperial Court, and there were more than a dozen of them who were at the Immortal Martial realm!
As for the rest, they had all reached Life and Death Realm!
Was this still a force that only occupied the North Region?
Ever since he left the mystic realm and was assigned to Wang Meng by Lin Xiao.
He began to understand this era.
Therefore, he naturally knew how terrifying these dozen or so Immortal Martial realm experts were in this era!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he walked into the Thearch Hall with difficulty.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Feeling the gazes of the surrounding experts, King Jiujiang's attitude towards Lin Xiao became even more respectful.
"Who is this?"
Many civil and military officials in the court started discussing in low voices when they saw the Queen of Jiujiang.
However, it was obvious that Lin Xiao did not intend to let them know from the beginning.
After all, the news that the Sovereign Lord from five thousand years ago was about to recover would definitely cause a huge commotion once it spread.
He raised his hand slightly, indicating that the other party should not be polite. Then, he asked,"Why did you enter the Emperor Palace?"
King Jiujiang braced himself and said,"I want Your Majesty to issue a decree to transfer me out of the capital."”
It was also because he had a serious understanding of this era.
Therefore, it was natural for them to fear the power of the Holy Land.
Therefore, after hearing Wang Meng's imperial edict, how could he still sit still?
He rushed over in a hurry, hoping to resign.
At this moment, the curiosity in the eyes of the ministers immediately turned into deep disdain.
So he wanted to escape!
Wang Meng's eyes could not help but twitch violently a few times. He suppressed the thought of fighting in the imperial court and looked at Lin Xiao, waiting for his decision.
Lin Xiao gently knocked on the table twice and said,""If you want to transfer out of the capital, it's not impossible.”
No way, could it be that His Majesty has changed today?
He was actually so easy to talk to?
Just as the officials in the court began to doubt life, King Jiujiang smiled.
Lin Xiao's voice sounded again.
"But you must stay alive!"
As soon as he said that, a cold killing intent instantly swept across the entire Emperor Palace.
King Jiujiang's legs went weak, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.""Your Majesty, I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving!"
The corners of many officials 'eyes twitched.
Where did this guy come from?
At the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, His Majesty was still His Majesty.
"Wang Meng, I'll leave this person to you.”
Lin Xiao looked at Wang Meng and said,"Don't kill him. After all, he can be considered a part of the battle force."”
He might not care about others.
But now, King Jiujiang had become his subordinate.
Seeing that the battle was about to begin, he actually wanted to run away?
If it wasn't for the fact that this person still had some value, he would have long ordered him to be beheaded!
Wang Meng, who had long been unhappy in his heart, could not hold it in when he heard this.
He immediately rubbed his fists and walked to King Jiujiang's side with a sinister smile. He grabbed his ankle and dragged him out of the Thearch Palace.
"Your Majesty! I was wrong! Your Majesty!"
King Jiujiang's pleas for mercy gradually faded away…
