Chapter 1198 (Too Scared to Act)
Chang Hen helplessly said, "As long as they don't make a move, we'll pretend we haven't seen anything. Oh, and call back the enforcement team, don't provoke them. We can't afford to lose more Overlords."
"Yes!"
Elder Ming quickly withdrew to handle it, feeling that the situation in the Sapphire Continent seemed to be changing.
Just after Elder Ming left, a chubby figure appeared in the main hall.
"Chang Hen, have you heard? That bone dragon has appeared," said Lun Yan with a shocked tone.
Chang Hen nodded, "Of course, I know."
"If you know, why are you still standing there? Run away!" Lun Yan had a look as if saying, "Why aren't you running? Are you waiting for someone to come and kill you?"
Chang Hen smiled helplessly, "Lun Yan, I am the sect master of the Broken Meridian Sect. If I run away, the people of the Sapphire Continent will break my spine." [The metaphor poke/break my backbone is used figuratively to convey the severity of the consequences.]
"Isn't that better than being killed? If those people are really alive, they must be terrifying. Didn't you feel the recent disturbances a few days ago? The whole South seemed like doomsday. We don't even have the ability to resist!" Lun Yan urged, "Chang Hen, go to Spirit City with me. It's better to explore there. Do you really like being a sect master so much? Going there would be a fresh start, and besides, Overlords are also respected there. Let's go." Lun Yan even grabbed Chang Hen. After all, they were senior brothers then, with a close relationship.
Chang Hen shook his head, "I won't go. If the Broken Meridian Sect is going to perish, I'll perish with it."
"You! Do you like being so traditional? You want to end up like Tai He? Are you happy disappearing without a trace?"
"If it really comes to that, there's nothing we can do." Chang Hen smiled slightly, feeling much lighter after making up his mind.
"I give up on you!" Frustrated, Lun Yan sat aside, turned his head away, and ignored Chang Hen, behaving like a child throwing a tantrum.
Chang Hen also sat beside Lun Yan, "What about you? Aren't you leaving?"
"If I leave, who will collect your corpse? I didn't participate back then."
Chang Hen patted Lun Yan's shoulder, "Senior brother, thank you."
"You still acknowledge that I'm your senior brother. I've never seen such an unruly junior. Master must be driven crazy by you." Lun Yan said, patting his butt and leaving.
Chang Hen smiled wryly, then sighed helplessly. He hoped chaos would not erupt.
At the moment, Ye Hua still had no idea that the actions they took back then had become so ruthless that even if others knew about it, they wouldn't dare to come recklessly.
Even experts feigned ignorance. "A bone dragon? It must be a deception. I still need to go home and boil water."
However, as Ye Hua was preparing to welcome a large number of people eager for death, not a single person had come for several consecutive days. Ye Hua became puzzled. Could it be that these people were planning to secretly withdraw? Or were they assembling a large army to come?
It seemed that he also needed to prepare to respond. He wanted them to know he's not easy to provoke.
No Turning Back!
All the subordinates began to stir, thinking that this time there would surely be a lot of people coming back, and they could have a satisfying kill...
It felt quite comfortable.
However, Ye Hua might not have the chance to wait for these people because they had no intention of coming.
Spirit City...
Since Ye Yuanqing returned to the Spirit City, he began to work on taking the throne.
When Ye Shen heard that his daughter wanted to be the emperor, he was so scared that his legs were trembling. He exclaimed that Ye Hua, this unfilial child, had misled her!
Seeing that even his father was so afraid, Ye Yuanqing shook her head helplessly. Her father, who was so brave back then, was now afraid of everything.
Ye Shen must be afraid. If his daughter failed, the new emperor would first target the Ye family!
He would definitely be dead.
But this time, Ye Yuanqing's brothers were unanimous in supporting her proposal!
Take a risk, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle!
Such days were unbearable!
When Ye Shen heard that his sons were siding with their sister, he exclaimed that Ye Yuanqing was a wicked girl who had been led astray by Ye Hua.
He fainted directly from anger.
Ye Yuanqing was helpless, but things still needed to be done!
This time, with the help of Shan Junren, everything became much easier. After all, Shan Junren was the prime minister, and Shan Yu had no choice but to help Ye Yuanqing ascend to the throne since their father chose a side.
Of course, besides Shan Junren, there was also Qian Yi, the father of Qian Yuqing...
This was also Qian Yuqing's request.
Qian Yi was quite scared when he first heard about it. Ye Yuanqing wanted to be the emperor! Was she crazy?
The emperors at Spirit City were all from the royal family. Besides, there was no precedent for a woman to be the emperor.
It was truly a crazy move. If he didn't help, his daughter might also suffer.
It was really a headache. However, Ye Yuanqing should have consulted her brother. Since he was so powerful, helping her to obtain the throne should be a piece of cake.
In the Ye family, Ye Yuanqing and Shan Yu stood by the pond. Ye Yuanqing held feed in her hand, sprinkling it from time to time.
This was clearly mimicking her elder brother's style. That day, Ye Yuanqing watched her elder brother do this and felt that he looked very powerful.
Standing next to her, Shan Yu also admired this female general. He had never expected her to have the idea of becoming an emperor.
With such courage, she was admirable. Regardless of success or failure this time, she deserved praise.
Looking at the way she spreads the feed, it's really stylish. Coupled with that cold and beautiful face, you can faintly see a bit of the demeanour of an emperor.
'This woman is definitely extraordinary!'
'Father asked me to assist her, it's also... with ulterior motives, right? Isn't it just to pursue her?'
'In the future, being a man of the Emperor, no, one of many gigolos.'
Thinking about Shan Yu made her whole body numb. 'Forget it, I won't become a gigolo. Just assist her well.'
"General Ye, the people in the city have a high appeal for you, surpassing the Fifth Prince, Huang Min." Shan Yu whispered on the side.
Ye Yuanqing placed the feed aside, walked towards the stone pavilion on the side, and then sat down, pouring two cups of water.
"Shan Yu, Huang Min is still a member of the royal family, standing out among many princes. He is not an ordinary person." Ye Yuanqing said in a deep voice. Originally thought she had settled everything, but unexpectedly, Huang Min came out, uniting the entire royal family, and jointly opposing her.
Originally, the royal family was competing for the throne. Now they were united, making it very difficult.
"General Ye, you have the support of the people. Besides a royal title, what else does Huang Min have? Half-hearted strength? What qualifications does he have to sit on the throne of the Spirit City?" Shan Yu said in a low voice, feeling that Huang Min was quite formidable, actually able to unify the chaotic royal family.
