Less than three days after Li Qiye returned to the palace, someone came to report on this day and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Jianyao of Jinglian Temple is standing on a thorn outside the palace to apologize."
"It's interesting." Li Qiye smiled faintly, not surprised.
At this time, outside the palace, a group of people were kneeling there. This group of people were all white-haired, and one could tell at a glance that they were people of the ancestor level.
Those who are interested will look more carefully, and many people will recognize these old people kneeling on the ground. They are all the ancestors of Jinglian Temple.
The one kneeling at the front was the beautiful Qin Jianyao. At this time, she knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and was silent.
Those kneeling behind Qin Jianyao were all the ancestors of Jinglian Temple, and many of them were beings like the Immortal True God. At this time, they knelt there without even daring to take a breath.
Jinglian Temple is one of the top five members of the Nine Secrets Taoism. It can even be said to be the most powerful sect inheritance among the top five. Jinglian Temple, which once had two secrets, can fight against it for a long time. The Holy Dynasty contended.
It can be said that the ancestors of Jinglian Temple are all famous people. They all once intimidated the world and were famous in all directions. But today, they all kneel down outside the palace, bear a thorn and apologize, quietly waiting for the new emperor's death. Feel down.
Seeing Qin Jianyao and the ancestors of Jinglian Temple kneeling down outside the palace, even the bystanders did not dare to say a word. Many people could not help but hold their breath and did not even dare to take a breath.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a commotion, and I don’t know who shouted in a low voice, “Your Majesty is here.”
Everyone looked around and saw Li Qiye coming slowly. Although Li Qiye was not wearing a dragon robe at this time, he was just wearing an ordinary cloth, but in everyone's eyes, he was supreme.
"Your Majesty -" Seeing Li Qiye coming out, everyone outside the palace knelt down and fell on the ground, not daring to take a breath.
"Your Majesty—" After seeing Li Qiye's arrival, Qin Jianyao prostrated herself on the ground. Many of the ancestors behind her also prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to get up for a long time.
Li Qiye glanced at Qin Jianyao and said calmly: "Girl Qin, you are quite fast."
"Your Majesty, this little girl is here to avenge her crime today." Qin Jianyao was not panicked or afraid, her expression was still natural, but her expression and tone were very sincere and respectful.
"Yeah." Hearing Qin Jianyao's sincere words, Li Qiye just responded softly and nodded slowly.
"We at Jinglian Temple are ignorant of the general situation, rebelling against Your Majesty, and using force to rebel. This is a heinous crime." Qin Jianyao said slowly: "The little girl knows that she cannot escape punishment, so today she led the elders of the sect to come to plead guilty to Your Majesty. .”
At this time, the ancestors of Jinglian Temple were lying on the ground, not daring to move, trembling and letting Li Qiye do what he wanted.
The ancestors of Jinglian Temple are all arrogant figures, especially those immortal true gods, who are strong men who have experienced countless storms. They themselves may not be afraid of death, and they can even face death calmly.
However, they could not just watch their sect perish. That day, their supreme ancestor wanted to seize the Nine Immortal Rope from Li Qiye, but he got their support and consent.
Today, the new emperor dominates the world and will definitely destroy their Jinglian Temple, and they are the perpetrators of the destruction of their sect. If the sect is really destroyed, then they will be the eternal sinners of Jinglian Temple, and they are unworthy of Jinglian. The ancestors of Lian Guan have no face to face the underground sages of Jing Lian Guan.
So today, they all followed Qin Jianyao and knelt outside the palace to apologize to the new emperor.
"A bit sincere." Li Qiye glanced at Qin Jianyao and said lightly: "Some capital crimes are inevitable."
"The little girl knows that the death penalty cannot be avoided." Qin Jianyao did not panic and said: "Therefore, the little girl and the elders are here, waiting for your majesty to grant death. The little girl and the elders are willing to die to wash away the treachery of Jinglian Temple. May your majesty Show great mercy and spare the life of the young disciple of Jinglian Temple..."
"...They are just ordinary disciples and cannot decide any strategy of Jinglian Temple. All major sins are caused by us. All major sins originate from us. Therefore, our sins cannot be forgiven and we can only die." Qin Jianyao said slowly at this time Come and apologize to Li Qiye.
Although before this, when the supreme ancestor of Jinglian Temple decided to seize Li Qiye's Nine Immortal Rope, she had strongly advised and persuaded the ancestors to give up such a plan, but the ancestors and the supreme ancestor But he didn't listen to her advice and insisted on going his own way.
Today, their supreme ancestor was defeated, and their Jinglian Temple was about to face disaster. Although it was not her fault, and she was even punished and imprisoned, when facing the survival of the sect.
Qin Jianyao resolutely took on the great responsibility and shouldered the great crime. He led the ancestors of the sect to come to plead guilty, and only asked them to die in exchange for the continuation of Jinglian Temple.
Qin Jianyao knows that today, after their Jinglian Temple is finished, Li Qiye will definitely take action to destroy their Jinglian Temple. Now all she can do is to try her best to fight for a way for the younger generation of disciples to survive, even if she takes advantage of it. She was willing to risk her own life.
"Spare their lives." Li Qiye stood there, unmoved, and smiled faintly.
"Yes, please show mercy to your majesty." Qin Jianyao said: "We at Jinglian Temple are willing to pay tribute to our territory and our sacred treasures. I and the elders will sacrifice our lives to atone for our sins. We only ask your Majesty to let the disciples of Jinglian Temple live. They He is just an ordinary disciple, with a shallow Taoism and weak strength, just like an ant, and will not hinder His Majesty's great cause in the slightest."
Hearing Qin Jianyao's words, everyone around them held their breaths. Jinglian Temple is willing to contribute its territory and its sacred treasure. This means that Jinglian Temple will be wiped out from now on, and Jinglian Temple will never be seen again. exist.
Jinglian Temple, which is the most powerful inheritance of the Nine Secrets Taoist Tradition, is about to be wiped out. Such an end makes people sigh.
However, at this time, everyone also understood that Qin Jianyao had no choice at this time. This approach was already the wisest approach. If he could get the new emperor's mercy, at least the young disciples of Jinglian Temple could escape. Even if Jinglian Temple is really wiped out, at least the lineage of Jinglian Temple still has a chance to continue.
If Jinglian Temple still stubbornly resists at this time, once the new emperor is angered, then Jinglian Temple will really flow into a river of blood, the entire Jinglian Temple will be wiped out, and all the disciples of Jinglian Temple may be killed. After all, the Jinglian Temple has been cut off from its roots.
"The guilty ones should be killed, and the innocent ones should be forgiven." Li Qiye smiled faintly and said: "You didn't disobey me, so why are you guilty?"
"This -" Qin Jianyao, who was still calm, couldn't help but froze for a moment when she heard such words. She couldn't understand Li Qiye's words for a while.
"Well, you are a bit vulgar, but you are still somewhat smart and can see the general trend." Li Qiye waved his hand gently and said: "Since you are not guilty, there is no need to punish you. As for the so-called All ancestors deserve to die, and Jinglian Temple must also be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
"This -" Qin Jianyao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Li Qiye's words. Today, she led the ancestors of Jinglian Temple to come to plead guilty. She never thought about leaving alive. She already had the intention of dying in her heart. Determined, she was willing to die so that the younger generation of disciples of Jinglian Temple could survive.
However, she did not expect that at this juncture, Li Qiye would forgive her.
"Little girl, I am willing to suffer for the sect, to atone for my sins with death, and to wash away the sect's rebellion." Qin Jianyao lowered her head with a sincere and respectful attitude.
"If you are not guilty, why should you suffer death?" Li Qiye waved his hand gently and said: "For the rest, you cannot escape the death penalty, so you can make your own decision."
"I -" Qin Jianyao opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only look back at the kneeling ancestors behind her.
The ancestors kneeling here are both her elders and her masters. It can be said that these ancestors have watched her grow up, and she regards them as relatives, but today they have to take a step ahead of her. Go straight to hell.
"My child, the future of Jinglian Temple will be left to you." The last ancestor nodded solemnly to Qin Jianyao and said, "I deserve my punishment, so take care of yourself." After saying this, he let out a muffled groan, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his body He fell straight to the ground.
Seeing someone taking the lead, the ancestors of Jinglian Temple also took action one after another. They cut off their meridians and destroyed their lives. Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths and their bodies fell to the ground one after another.
In the blink of an eye, all the ancestors of Jinglian Temple died one after another, lying on their bodies on the spot.
Seeing such a scene, everyone fell silent. These ancestors of Jinglian Temple were so powerful. They were once the most powerful figures in the Nine Secrets Tradition, but today they all ended up here. They used their own His death brought about the continuation of Jinglian Temple.
This is the best ending for Jinglian Temple. Not only did the younger generation survive, but Qin Jianyao also survived. As long as they are still alive, there is still hope for the future of Jinglian Temple.
Seeing the ancestors fall, Qin Jianyao's eyes were wet with tears without realizing it, but she did not cry out.
"Go ahead, I will forgive you for being immortal in Jinglian Temple, but you should be severely punished." Li Qiye waved his hand gently and ordered.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Qin Jianyao bowed to Li Qiye and finally collected the corpses for everyone in the sect.
"Mr. Bing." At this time, Li Qiye called lightly.
"Sir, what are your orders?" Li Qiye said, and the sick king appeared. He bowed in front of Li Qiye.
"Take the Eight-Armed Golden Dragon and the others and clean them up. All the people from the Five Legions and the Ten Thousand Formations Nation should be collected and collected by me. I almost forgot about this." Li Qiye waved his hand gently and ordered. said.
"Take your orders." At this time, the four of them, Eight-Armed Golden Dragon, were standing behind Mr. Bing, and they all shouted in unison.
Hearing such an order, everyone nearby took a breath, knowing that the Nine Secrets Tradition would cause another bloody storm.
