The onlookers quickly scattered around when they saw this situation, fearing they would be implicated.
Only Sister Wu Lian tightly held onto Yu Feng's hand, vowing to stand with him in life and death.
Yu Feng calmly patted his sister's hand, signaling her not to panic.
"Heavenly Monarch, if you kill me, I will reveal the cause of the nation's decline to all mortals."
"My puppets are scattered throughout the continent, and as soon as I die, they will spread the truth about the nation's fortune, letting everyone know its secret."
Yu Feng was blatantly threatening the Heavenly Monarch. He could imagine that when mortals learned the secret of the nation's fortune, they would put themselves in the position of the people in the Celestial Dynasty, and then everyone would aim to become immortals.
What the Heavenly Monarch least wants to see is an increase in the number of cultivators.
