Chapter 317: Drinking back from the guards
"Peace talks?How are they Yan Yunguo going to negotiate peace with us?Why don't you go directly to the ghost queen to discuss this matter?" the ghost emperor asked.
I didn't answer the Ghost Emperor, but asked, "I don't know if the Ghost Emperor knows that you have more than 570 cronies who have been imprisoned in the dungeon by the Ghost Queen for hundreds of years now?"
"Oh??" The Ghost Emperor was obviously a little surprised, but he thought for a moment, and then said flatly: "No wonder the Ghost Queen asked me for a decree back then, saying that it was to stabilize the order of the Ghost Clan, so that the Emperor agreed that she could temporarily detain some people who were interested in opposing her. And who from our Glomons brought you in? You can't find it on your own, can you?"
I said, "It's one of your cronies, whom I call the Elder." It was he who found me, hoping that I could prompt peace talks between the two sides of the Ghost Gate and Yan Yunguo. β
"Immortal Elder?" the Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "It is possible for him to do this, so why can you let him pin his hopes on you?"
I replied, "I... I used to be the ruling elder of the Kunlun faction, and I had a relationship with the elder a few years ago, maybe the elder thought my identity was more suitable. β
"Before? That means you're no longer an Elder Commander. If you make a small mistake, the Kunlun faction will not remove you from the position of the ruling elder, and if you make a big mistake, you will generally not live at all. You became the ruling elder of the Kunlun faction at such a young age, and you can still walk in Zhongzhou after making a big mistake, it seems that you are very unusual. So what happened to what you said to Yan Yunguo?" asked the Ghost Emperor.
I said, "Yan Yunguo's side has agreed to peace talks, and it is very sincere... β
The Ghost Emperor suddenly asked, "Hehe, by the way, do you know why this Emperor is here?"
I bowed my head and said, "According to the elder, you were placed under house arrest by the ghost queen because you were too weak. β
"He is only half right, the emperor is too weak now, and he can only keep the original spirit in a warm place, so the emperor asked the ghost queen to place me here. In other words, it's useless for you to come to the emperor, and the emperor can't leave here at all. The Ghost Emperor still said in a calm tone.
I asked, "Then what if the Ghost Emperor has now absorbed the death qi of the Flower on the other side?"
The Ghost Emperor was slightly stunned and said, "It seems that Yan Yunguo is really sincere this time." You are also very powerful, you can actually convince Yan Yunguo to take out the other side flower. Then you can just talk about your conditions. β
I said respectfully: "I hope that the Ghost Emperor, you can swear to the Heavenly Dao with your natal essence blood that after I hand you over the Flower of the Other Side, you will regain control of the Youluo Gate, and collect troops to cease war and negotiate peace with Yan Yunguo." At that time, I will have the United Council of Middle-earth send someone to witness this peace talk between the two of you. Then, when the peace talks between the two of you are over, I would like to ask you to send troops to the Sacred Heart Cult. β
"What is the Middle-earth United Council?" the Ghost Emperor asked.
I said, "The Middle-earth United Council is a joint organization established by various forces in recent years to target the Demon Dao Sacred Heart Sect, including all forces including the six kingdoms of Middle-earth, the seven factions, and the three hidden world sects. β
"Then this Middle-earth United Council was also promoted by you?" the Ghost Emperor asked.
I hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I don't have such a big ability. This is the Central Continent United Council led by Dayu in order to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of the rebellion of the demon country for more than 300 years. β
The Ghost Emperor nodded and said, "Well, with the witness of this Middle-earth United Council, this peace negotiation will indeed be much more credible." However, what if the negotiations cannot be successful, or if Yan Yunguo intends to sabotage the negotiations?"
Speaking from the heart, I really admire the ghost emperor in front of me who makes all the forces in the world scruple about it. He has been tortured by weakness for hundreds of years, and now he is getting closer and closer to death, and when the only way to survive appears in front of him, he can still think so carefully.
Retracting my thoughts, I said to the Ghost Emperor: "I personally think that Yan Yunguo's willingness to negotiate with the other side this time is enough to show their willingness to negotiate peace, and it will never be as simple as a delaying tactic, after all, the Sacred Heart Sect is now too much of a threat to the entire Central Continent." Therefore, I hope that I can restrain the Ghost Emperor, and you will not deliberately sabotage the peace talks. Of course, if this negotiation really can't be successful, then the two of you will have to fight again. β
After hearing my words, the Ghost Emperor did not respond immediately, but pondered for a moment. At this time, Wu Yan shouted to me outside the stone gate: "Engong! We can't bear it anymore! We have retreated outside the door, and Wukong has turned into a giant ape to fight!"
After listening to this, I said to the Ghost Emperor in a little hurry: "Lord Ghost Emperor, please make a quick decision, my people are going to fail." β
The Ghost Emperor took out an old token with rusty stains on the surface from his bosom, handed it to me casually, and said, "Take this out first and let them retreat." β
I took the token, turned and rushed out. I stood outside the stone gate and held up the token given to me by the Ghost Emperor and shouted, "The Ghost Emperor has an order!
The ghost-faced guards stopped when they saw the tokens in my hand, and they all looked at each other and didn't know what to do. I then shouted: "I have something important to discuss with the Ghost Emperor, if you dare to make a move again, it will be a betrayal of the Ghost Emperor!
Hearing my words, the Ghost Face guards all put away their weapons and slowly retreated to the staircase to confront Wu Yan and Wukong. I said to Wu Yan, "Guard this place, don't let anyone in!" I turned around and entered the stone gate and returned to the main hall.
The Ghost Emperor looked at me and laughed softly: "It seems that you are indeed another peerless Tianjiao who can lead the world on this Central Continent. Your Kunlun faction has been able to develop for thousands of years, how can this kind of good thing still be encountered by the Kunlun faction?"
Although I am very happy to be recognized by this ghost emperor, I still have a few catties and taels of my own. I respectfully gave the token to the Ghost Emperor and said, "I don't know exactly what the good thing you are talking about, but in this day and age, there are actually many young people like me. βγ
"Oh, it's rare to have such cultivation, state of mind, and courage at your age, right? This emperor has indeed seen a few similar to you in the past few hundred years, but if you say that there are many more, you would be too modest, right?" the Ghost Emperor looked at me and asked.
I said sincerely, "I'm not being modest, it's too troublesome for many people to talk to you." Let's just say that there is now a person in the Sword Sect who is the same age as me who can fully perform the first form of the Six Heavenly Forms, and there is a person in the Emperor Temple who is younger than me and has already mastered the sΓ©ance. β
