"I dare not."
Ouyang Ming lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of Chu Yuan.
"Regardless of whether you dare or not, surrendering Refining City to our cause has been included in the plans of Great Wu. Those loyal to the emperor will naturally receive rewards; Refining City will be yours, you cannot escape this responsibility. I am doing this not just for you, but for the Great Wu."
Chu Yuan stated indifferently.
Even if Ouyang Ming is a genius, he's ultimately just one man.
What if an entire Refining City surrenders to him? He will gain many Refining Masters.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He knew that his return to Refining City was now secured.
"As for these stone statues, Jiao Wukong, you will lead the members of your Sea Dragon Palace to protect them. Kill anyone who approaches without my command."
Chu Yuan did not ask Ouyang Ming to repair the stone statue army.
How much can he repair on his own?
