After exchanging glances with Nangong Wudi, Dongfang Yingzheng looked at Chu Xiong and said slowly:
"Deputy Sect Master Chu, I told you that the Xia Kingdom only has the general Ye Yun, and there is no murderer who killed the elder of your Tianjian Sect. You should go find the murderer elsewhere!"
Facing Dongfang Yingzheng's answer, the smile on Chu Xiong's face couldn't help but freeze. He never expected that Dongfang Yingzheng would deny it outright.
"King Xia, our Heavenly Sword Sect has already found out the truth about this matter. The person who killed the elder of our Heavenly Sword Sect is the new general Ye Yun."
"King Xia, are you trying to protect this murderer?"
At the end, Chu Xiong's words contained an undisguised hint of threat...
At this moment, in the court hall, after Chu Xiong finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into freezing point.
"You are threatening me!"
Slapping his hand on the table, Dongfang Yingzheng looked at Chu Xiong with murderous intent on his face.
However, at this moment, Shangguan Haoming suddenly walked out and said to Dongfang Yingzheng solemnly:
"Your Majesty, calm down. I think there is nothing wrong with Vice Sect Master Chu's request. I have found out that Ye Yun did kill the elder of the Tianjian Sect in Zhongzhou."
"Furthermore, Tianjian Sect has always been on good terms with our Xia Kingdom, and what Deputy Sect Master Chu said is true. According to Wei Chen, it is better to hand over Ye Yun."
As soon as Shangguan Haoming said this, Lin Tianying and Murong Fuxing immediately stood up and seconded his opinion.
Ye Yun was originally a thorn in the side of the three major families. Not only did he occupy the position of general who originally belonged to the three major families, but he also competed for the quota to enter the secret realm. Now that Tianjian Sect came to ask for someone, they were eager to hand over Ye Yun quickly. .
The Tianjian Sect is a huge force that is not weaker than the Xia Kingdom. By handing over Ye Yun, you can be on good terms with the Tianjian Sect and get rid of Ye Yun. Everyone is happy, so why not!
When Ye Yun heard the argument in the court, he couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face, and he began to think about how to get out.
However, with a Martial King and three high-level martial arts masters, the current situation was extremely bad for Ye Yun at this time.
"It's all bullshit!"
After Shangguan Haoming and others finished speaking, Nangong Wudi stood up and said angrily:
"Ye Yun is your majesty's personally appointed general to control the country. If the Tianjian Sect says he should be handed over, we will hand him over. Then where is the face of our Xia country?"
"Moreover, a martial artist attacked a junior who was one level below him in cultivation, but was killed instead. How dare you, the Tianjian Sect, have the nerve to come to my country, Xia, to kill the murderer?"
Walking in front of Chu Xiong, Nangong Wudi looked at Chu Xiong with no trace of his disdain for the Tianjian Sect in his eyes.
Facing Nangong Wudi's words, Chu Xiong was so angry that his face turned blue and white.
At this time, he gritted his teeth and looked at Nangong Wudi, and said in a cold tone:
"Is this the answer from your Xia Kingdom?"
"Do you want to make enemies of our Heavenly Sword Sect?"
While speaking, Chu Xiong released his aura without hesitation.
For a moment, the terrifying coercion belonging to a strong man in the King of Martial Realm filled the court.
"How presumptuous!"
Facing Chu Xiong who showed off his cultivation, Nangong Wudi showed no trace of fear on his face.
"I think it's your Tianjian Sect who wants to make an enemy of our Xia Kingdom!"
Speaking in a calm tone, Nangong Wudi directly released his momentum.
For a moment, there was a roaring sound in the court hall, and all the civil and military officials in the hall couldn't help but panic.
And Chu Xiong did not expect that because of Ye Yun, the Xia Kingdom would not hesitate to become the enemy of the Tianjian Sect.
He originally thought that after he made the request, Xia King Dongfang Yingzheng would agree. After all, to the two behemoths of Xia Kingdom and Tianjian Sect, Ye Yun was just an insignificant pawn.
Handing over Ye Yun and thus gaining the friendship of the Tianjian Sect was a good deal that was sure to make money.
But Xia Guo refused.
Although Nangong Wudi's words were spoken by himself, it was obviously also Dongfang Yingzheng's thoughts.
Without the support of Dongfang Yingzheng, Nangong Wudi cannot bear the responsibility of starting a war with Tianjian Sect.
After all, Nangong Wudi, as the strongest person in the Xia Kingdom, only has the first level of martial arts training.
The leader of Tianjian Sect has reached the third level of martial arts.
In terms of high-end combat power, the Xia Kingdom is inferior to the Tianjian Sect.
Therefore, the Xia Kingdom naturally did not dare to start a war with Tianjian Sect rashly.
Likewise, the Tianjian Sect did not dare to rashly start a war with the Xia Kingdom.
Although in terms of high-end combat power, Tianjian Sect has the advantage. But in terms of numbers, Tianjian Sect occupies an absolute disadvantage.
The total number of elders and disciples of Tianjian Sect is only a few thousand.
And the Xia Kingdom has an army of one million people!
Relying on the numerical advantage, it is enough to make up for the gap in high-end combat power.
If we really want to fight, it will only lead to losses for both sides!
With his mind spinning, Chu Xiong suddenly had a plan in his mind.
If he came back this time without capturing Ye Yun, not only would he lose face, but the Tianjian Sect would also lose face.
It is better to put forward an offer that Xia Guo cannot refuse and make Xia Guo hand over Ye Yun willingly.
"King Xia, our Tianjian Sect has always been on good terms with the Xia Kingdom. We must not hurt our friendship because of Ye Yun. Why don't we each take a step back."
At this moment, Chu Xiong couldn't help but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. He looked at Dongfang Yingzheng and said sincerely:
"It's better than this. Let's decide by force. If Xia Guo wins, I am willing to give Ye Yun three years. After three years, let Ye Yun go to our Tianjian Sect in person to settle the grudges."
"If our side wins, then let us take Ye Yun away immediately."
"However, I have a condition, that is, Ye Yun must appear in person."
"What do you think, King Xia?"
Chu Xiong's proposal made Dongfang Yingzheng feel entangled for a while. There were many martial arts masters in the Tianjian Sect, and he did not want to be an enemy of the Tianjian Sect if he had to.
However, Ye Yun is a rare genius, and he is also the general of the country he has just conferred. The Tianjian Sect comes directly to ask for him. If he gives him, Xia Guo will lose face.
Perhaps, competition is the best choice now.
Thinking in his mind, Dongfang Yingzheng glanced at Ye Yun, who always had a calm expression, and then said slowly to Chu Xiong:
"I don't know, Deputy Sect Master Chu, how do you want to compete in this martial arts contest?"
After hearing Dongfang Yingzheng's words, Chu Xiong showed a smile on his face.
When he proposed the martial arts competition, he knew that Xia Guo would not refuse.
"Best of three."
"You and I will each send three people to have a one-on-one fair competition."
Looking at Dongfang Yingzheng, Chu Xiong said calmly at this moment. As for the result of the competition, he already had a chance of winning in his heart.
They were all strong in the martial arts realm, and he was even more powerful in the martial king realm.
On the other hand, in the Xia Kingdom, Ye Yun was only at the second level of Zhenwu in the data. He was able to kill the elders of the Tianjian Sect. In Chu Xiong's opinion, he must have used some unspeakable means.
Now in a fair competition, a high-level martial artist is enough to crush Ye Yun, thus winning the round.
And with his level 1 martial arts cultivation, no one in the court except Nangong Wudi was his opponent at this time.
He still knew something about Nangong Wudi's strength. He is confident that he is at least 60% sure that he can defeat Nangong Wudi.
As long as he wins these two games, Ye Yun will be able to capture him!
