"At this time, it would be a shame not to pretend."
It's not that Chen Yuan is being pretentious, but he really feels that it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to pretend at this time.
In full view, in the spotlight.
There are hundreds of thousands of people from the capital and surrounding areas, nearly a hundred thousand martial artists, and there are even unknown number of peerless experts on the Supreme List hidden inside.
There are hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as royal family members, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops.
And today is the day when Jingtai worships heaven and ascends to the throne of human emperor, which will definitely cause huge turmoil in the world. Let me ask, if you don't strive for fame now, when will you wait?
Jingtai must be killed. His luck and blood feud must be avenged.
At the same time, he must create this counterattack, and he has made a lot of preparations. It can be said that everything is ready, all he needs is the east wind that blows!
Originally, Chen Yuan also wanted to lie dormant, accumulate food, build high walls, slowly become king, let others fight for life and death, and be the leader.
But... maybe he drifted away after becoming stronger.
Or maybe there are too many forces gathering around him, and he is no longer as cautious as before.
Or maybe it was because he had been lying low and small under Jingtai for too long, and he couldn't help but want to crush his delusions directly at the most critical moment of his day.
It's more likely that Chen Yuan didn't want to miss this good opportunity.
In short, he... was moved!
Anyway, today is about taking action. Anyway, this battle is going to be recorded in the annals of history, something that countless people will never know and marvel at. Why not... make it bigger?
Chen Yuan has always been cautious and cautious, seemingly reckless, but in fact he is confident most of the time, and this time... this time... is actually no exception.
Several true kings are by your side, and immortals from the Six Realms are with you.
What's he afraid of?
Moreover, it was not just Chen Yuan. He could sense that the energy of the warriors around him had changed. There were also people who wanted to take the lead. Is Chen Yuan a humble person?
no,
So, he was tempted!
Jiang He's eyes narrowed, he took a deep look at Chen Yuan, nodded briefly and said with horror:
"Pretend."
The Shushan master Taoist Lingxu and the Taixu Palace master Tianxu next to him were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect him to be so bold.
But looking at Chen Yuan who was already prepared, the two of them hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
On the top of the Zijin Mountain, Jingtai, with deep eyes, looked down at the tens of thousands of warriors below and continued:
"Why... no one dares to come forward?"
"Since you don't dare, just watch from below and see how I... was promoted to the human emperor and created an eternal peace for the hundreds of millions of people in my Jin territory."
"You...what qualifications do you have!"
As soon as Jingtai finished speaking, a questioning voice resounded between heaven and earth. That voice was filled with the vitality of heaven and earth, and people within dozens of miles around could hear it clearly.
Of course, the main reason for this was that the surroundings were too quiet. When Jingtai shouted those words, the martial arts warriors were a little commotion.
But no one has come forward yet.
A vacuum of time was formed, and it was at this time that Chen Yuan spoke.
Yes, the person who spoke was Chen Yuan.
Many of the civil and military nobles, powerful royals, and concubines in the harem in front turned their eyes to the back, as if they wanted to find out who had such courage.
He actually dared to show his head.
The people in the capital behind stood on tiptoe one after another, wanting to wait and see.
As for the martial arts warriors around him, a vacuum zone was opened around Chen Yuan on the one hand, and there was suspicion and admiration in their eyes on the other.
real man!
There were many people present who criticized Jingtai verbally and in writing, and many people said they wanted to rebel. But at this time, this place, and this situation, there seemed to be no one who dared to stand up... There really weren't any!
Jingtai, who was on the top of Purple Mountain, shrank slightly, feeling that this voice seemed... very familiar.
Chen Yuan didn't give him too long to think. After the martial arts warriors around him gave up a few feet of vacuum, he moved without making any sound.
But with great fanfare.
He stepped into the void step by step, and the light under his feet was overflowing with dazzling light, making the figure in black look extremely majestic.
"Chen...Chen Yuan!"
"Marquis of Wu'an Chen Yuan!"
"It's him?!"
"How could he..."
"this...."
Chen Yuan has never concealed his appearance. He just used some tricks to make himself less conspicuous among the crowd. Now he is in front of millions of people.
He...naturally wasn't going to cover it up either.
And his reputation is naturally very great. Even though his true body cultivation level has not reached the level of Yangshen and has been promoted to the Heavenly Ranking, he has done too many things in the past few years.
He stirs up the world at every turn.
There are naturally many people who know him.
Now, it will naturally be recognized by others.
Chen Yuan stood up and walked toward the top of the Purple Mountain step by step with his hands behind his back. Gu Tianqiong below frowned, with a solemn murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said sternly:
"How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Zhang Yantong's eyes flashed and he sighed softly.
He naturally knew that his daughter secretly left the capital, but when she returned to the capital it was already too late, and he also understood Chen Yuan's thoughts.
Concubine Yang, Sima Ke, Sima You, Princess Pingyang, the great envoys of the Xuntian Division, Xiao Jing, Zuo Tiancheng, Wu Tianxi, Li Kuangxiu, Li Hongshuang...
Everyone who greeted Chen Yuan and recognized him had complicated expressions in their eyes.
Concubine Yang had a look of despair in her eyes, Sima Ke had a look of panic, and Princess Pingyang had a dull look in her eyes, as if she had anticipated this scene.
As for the people from the Tianxuan Division, they were...angry!
The divine envoy of the Xuntian Si Tianzi, who was the Marquis of Wu'an, openly rebelled!
The martial arts warriors had expressions of shock and surprise on their faces. After someone called out Chen Yuan's identity, they were extremely surprised.
There will be people who are going to cause trouble today, and this is something that many people know very well.
But most people didn't expect that the first person to take the lead was Chen Yuan!
!
"But this kid got the better of him."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man carrying a long sword whispered to himself.
If he waits longer and no one comes, then he will.
It's neither a pity nor a joy, just a little surprised.
At the edge of the crowd, an illusory figure in white clothes was thinking a little, and couldn't help but think of what the master said before.
Is this son expected to become the next Taizu of Chu?
In the void, illusory lotus flowers condensed one after another, and then collapsed one after another. Countless heaven and earth energy around them were stirred, and the entire void changed.
Pack....
Naturally, you have to pretend better.
Act bigger.
The scolding voices below sounded one after another, but to Chen Yuan, these were just barking dogs, and they were not taken seriously by him at all. He only had eyes for one person.
That is Jingtai.
And maybe Jingtai had given the order before, or maybe they were afraid of provoking a bigger reaction. In short, no one took action. Everyone quietly watched Chen Yuan climb to the top of the mountain step by step to confront Jingtai.
Chen Yuan's eyes were calm and awe-inspiring, he looked directly at Jingtai and continued:
"What qualifications do you...have?"
"I didn't expect you to be the first to stand up."
Jingtai didn't answer the question, he also stared at Chen Yuan.
I really didn’t expect that Chen Yuan would be the one to stand up today.
When he thought about it, strong men from the Immortal Sect, the Northern Barbarians, and even the Southern Xinjiang Monster Clan might come today, but he did not expect him to come back.
In his impression, although Chen Yuan seems reckless, he is cautious and meticulous. He will consider the consequences before doing things. Now he has laid a foundation in the south.
With his little strength, to be honest, he is not qualified to stand on the general trend of the world.
Therefore, he was a little surprised.
But that's about it.
Without Chen Yuan, there would be others.
Who comes...it doesn't really matter.
"I didn't expect that you would be so bold, risking the disapproval of the world and trying to steal the throne of the Human Emperor."
He didn't address me as a minister, but as 'I'. The meaning is self-evident.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You do not deserve!"
When Jingtai heard this, he smiled very happily, stared at Chen Yuan and asked:
"How...is it possible...that you deserve it?"
"More suitable than you."
"hehe...."
"Jingtai, since you came to the throne, you have been headstrong and vicious, but you are not open-minded. The Northern Barbarians invaded, and the Northern Liang army fought a desperate battle with the people of Liangzhou.
But you took the opportunity to weaken the power of the Northern Liang King. Hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were clearly in front of you, but you deliberately refused to save him. Go and ask the people of Liangzhou... are you worthy? "
"In the great epidemic in Youzhou, you had people seal off the roads, leaving thousands of miles uninhabited, leaving bones exposed in the wild. Not willing to give up your own profits, you collected taxes from the south and spread the pressure on the people.
Buddhism spread to the Central Plains, and with the help of the Sima family, they oppressed the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains. The monks' temples did not collect taxes, and this pressure was also placed on the people.
The demon clan from southern Xinjiang invaded Shushan and watched with eager eyes, but you reduced the power of the imperial court to the four states of the Central Plains, completely ignoring the four states in the south. Go and ask the people of the world.
Are you worthy of sitting on the throne of the Human Emperor? "
"You don't deserve it, and neither does the Sima family!"
Chen Yuan's voice resounded between heaven and earth, like rolling thunder, questioning Jingtai's achievements.
"Since you came to the throne, you have no achievements, no ambition, no kindness, and no humanity. Can such a person be the emperor of my human race? You ask me, am I worthy? I can say in front of everyone in the world, I am more worthy than you!"
"The Japanese barbarians held a challenge in the capital, and the court was unable to hold its head up. It was I who raised the confidence of the warriors from the Central Plains. The northern barbarians invaded, and 700,000 cavalry entered the country.
It's me who is not afraid of death in front of Liangzhou City, and I use my true sword to fight against the barbarian god.
The Jianghu forces in Qingzhou, Shuzhou, and the two states oppressed the people. It was I who led the people to eradicate those forces that brought harm to the people and wiped out the clan. What about you? What achievements have you made that you dare to steal this position? "
The world is shocked and everything is quiet.
The court officials below stopped scolding him because... Chen Yuan was right.
Those Jianghu warriors looked at Chen Yuan who was confronting Jingtai with expressions of reverence.
"This... what Marquis Wu An said makes sense."
"Keep your voice down, or you will die!"
"That's right, that's right..."
The people outside were whispering and discussing.
Jingtai, however, remained calm and smiled:
"Because I am the emperor, I am the lord of the Nine-Five-Year-Old Jin Dynasty, and I have a powerful army, and you are just a usurper who has only achieved some minor achievements.
But here we are talking nonsense.
It’s true that I don’t have any great achievements, but that was in the past. I had to do this under the pressure of all kinds of forces. Now, the world is about to be in chaos, and all forces are watching, and you are just one of them. That’s all, who are you to question me?
Ascension to the throne of Human Emperor is a strategy to save the hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains. You come to stop me because you don't want all the people in the world to live in peace.
For your own selfish desires and your desire for power, you betrayed your father, formed a camp secretly, secretly amassed troops, and harbored evil intentions. What qualifications do you have to accuse me? "
"I gave you your official position, your rights, and your world-famous reputation. If you are a loyal minister or a common people, you should be loyal to the king, serve the country, and assist me in creating peace for the people. , Dingding Jiangshan, let the people of Jin Dynasty live a peaceful life, instead of saying these words today.
Without me, without the court, you are just a commoner in a county under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. Without me, how can you become the Marquis of Wu'an, respected by thousands of people, and the divine envoy of Tianxunsi?
No king, no father, wolf ambition, this is you, Chen Yuan! "
Jingtai's questioning voice sounded immediately.
Chen Yuan laughed, seemingly contemptuously:
"Jingtai, your words seem to make sense, but in fact they are worthless. Relying on you? Haha... You are just a stupid king, how can you make me loyal?
I am where I am today because of my own hard work. It is the fame I have earned through my repeated efforts, not your appreciation. "
"hehe...."
Jingtai wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Chen Yuan, who continued:
"Jingtai, have you forgotten what you have done to me? You bullied me, made me your Sima family's dog, suppressed me, and threw me to the south where the Fourth War was fought.
Monitor me and watch me day and night with the Sky Patrol Siwuwei?
However, what you said makes sense. This official status was given by the imperial court, and the rights were also given by the imperial court. In this case, haha... Then I... won't be an official of your Sima family! "
Chen Yuan waved his hand, and several official robes, official seals, and many imperial edicts appeared around him. They were all destroyed in the void and turned into powder.
"I no longer want the official position I earned, and I no longer want the rights I earned. Now, I am just a charlatan and a commoner in the Central Plains, and I want justice!"
Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
"What justice?"
"Hehehe... Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism was indeed my dream. Wrapping one's body in horse leather and guarding the borders for the country were also my goals. Now... I don't want it anymore. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because you, Jingtai, are not human!"
Chen Yuan pointed directly at Jingtai's nose and cursed.
"presumptuous!"
Jingtai frowned, with murderous intent on his face.
"You keep saying that you are for the people of the Central Plains and for the peace of all people, but in fact, you... are the ancestor of the Wusheng Cult who harms living creatures!"
