Chapter 267: Choice
At this time, people immediately took the traditional virtue handed down by their ancestors - humility to the extreme, took a step back from the brush, and left the stage to Emperor Xia, who was still standing in place.
Emperor Xia looked at this group of guys who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but there was no way, he couldn't push his own son out, he wanted to do it, but he didn't want to sit firmly on this throne after that.
"Ahem, Lord Nine Winds, I am Xia Yinhan, the current emperor of Great Xia, today is my birthday, and many treasures are searched by the families in the territory to give me birthday gifts......"
Speaking of this, everyone who pretended to be dumb couldn't help but roll their eyes, eager to bite Emperor Xia to death, a bastard, and wanted to pull them along if they wanted to die.
As he spoke, Emperor Xia glanced at his personal palace attendant, and the palace attendant trembled and took the birthday gifts in the space treasure box he had just received and placed them in the center of the main hall.
"All the treasures are here, my Great Xia ancestor has made an oath that he will never harm the creatures of the Infernal Cliff, and our juniors should abide by the oath and never dare to commit it. It's just that the world is so big, it's not something that our juniors can grasp all, and it's really unpredictable for us to have that opportunistic and traitorous person stealing and refining treasures from the creatures of the Infernal Cliff, and I ask Lord Nine Wind to forgive me for the crime of not being noticed! Saying that, Emperor Xia bowed deeply to the nine winds standing on the wall, "There are thousands of living beings in Great Xia, and the younger generations are incapable of protecting them like Lord Nine Winds, but if things happen because of me, it is my sin, and please Lord Nine Winds for the sake of the innocent creatures, don't implicate them." ”
These words are skillful, worthy of being an emperor for so long, if an ordinary person is really fooled by him, it is a pity that it is not an ordinary nine winds, and now the nine winds standing in front of them are born with inheritance memories, the so-called language arts, it plays more skillfully than Emperor Xia.
When there was a howl, the wind howled, and the array disk that protected everyone broke instantly, and everyone was blown by the strong wind, but they didn't dare to make the slightest move, and they didn't even dare to take out the protective array, so they could only let the wind blow their clothes and hair.
"As you put it, you said that the person who extracted the souls of my Infernal Cliff people has nothing to do with you, but the treasure has really appeared in your hands. You said it was a birthday gift, okay, then I'll ask you, who gave you this treasure in your hand! The voice of the nine winds seemed to sound from the hearts of the people, deafening, and when the words fell, everyone's heads couldn't help buzzing, and they barely kept awake when they were running their vitality.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Emperor Xia's hand, and a black-on-dark gold embroidered dragon whip was wrapped around Emperor Xia's arm like a swimming dragon.
How envious people were, how gloating they were at this time.
It was clearly a congratulatory gift from the eldest prince - the dragon rope.
Emperor Xia's forehead instantly sweated, he restrained his gaze from wanting to look at the eldest prince, bowed down again, and said: "This is indeed a congratulatory gift from the younger son, but Xiao'er is not a refiner, and he has never left the imperial capital recently, this dragon rope is also searched by his subordinates from the outside, and please ask Lord Jiufeng to see it!" ”
"I'll give me the treasure ...... Mingjian"
Before Jiufeng's words were finished, Emperor Xia had already offered the dragon rope with both hands.
A gust of wind blew, and the dragon rope fluttered gently.
As we all know, demon beasts whose souls have been extracted cannot be reincarnated, and they are imprisoned in the treasure for life and life, until the treasure is destroyed, and the soul of the demon beast will also dissipate. However, the Nine Winds clan has a way to completely take out the soul that has been refined into the treasure and send it to reincarnation.
Emperor Xia thought that when he saw that the dragon rope was taken away by Jiufeng, he didn't care about losing a holy treasure, and he only had happiness left in his heart, but he didn't spit it out in one breath, and the words below Jiufeng crushed all his happiness.
"By the way, your son's life will also be given away." Nine Winds' voice did not change in the slightest, as if it was already a great forgiveness to ask for a life.
Emperor Xia looked up at Jiufeng in shock, and he couldn't see the slightest change from Jiufeng's face.
"This, this...... Please also ask Lord Nine Winds to forgive the child's negligence! Emperor Xia bowed down again and pleaded.
"But I don't want to forgive, I will give you another chance, and it is very cost-effective to exchange your son's life for the life of the living beings in this imperial capital." There was no emotion in Jiufeng's dark eyes, followed by another roar, the wind above the imperial capital seemed to be stronger, Emperor Xia's cheeks were cold, he raised his hand to touch it, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be blood.
There were blood spots in the wind, and I don't know if it was the innocent creature.
At this time, the eldest prince Xia Ziyin had already trembled involuntarily, facing a Nine Wind Divine Bird that could be comparable to the ancestor of Guiyuan, he couldn't help but be frightened, especially when the other party had already asked for his life.
He looked at his father nervously, like a child seeking protection from adults, his eyes were full of dependence and expectation, and at this time, Emperor Xia's words could decide his life and death.
Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, and in the next second, he raised his head, his eyes were full of guilt and firmness, but this gaze did not fall on Xia Ziyin, but on Xia Zili, who was standing behind Xia Ziming and silently watching all this.
Suddenly locked by Emperor Xia's gaze, Xia Zili was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and what rose in his heart was not sadness and sorrow, but 'Sure enough'.
This man is his father, but the premise is that he is also an emperor, and it is very cost-effective to lose a young son who is still young and has not done much, and to hold a big prince who is already an adult and can balance the court, isn't it?
Looking at the mocking smile on his youngest son's face, Emperor Xia couldn't help but be annoyed, turned his face away and stopped looking at him, and was about to push Xia Zili out of Jiufeng with his fists, but he didn't want to speak yet, standing beside Xia Zili, oh no, to be precise, Rong Yichen, who was standing next to Xia Ziming, opened his mouth with a smile.
His tone was relaxed, as if the conversation was not an eighth-order demon beast, but an ordinary person.
"I heard that the Nine Winds Clan has a memory of inheritance, and can see what happened from the soul, but the juniors are very curious about something, I wonder if Lord Nine Winds can answer for the juniors?"
Jiufeng felt that this kid was very interesting, their Jiufeng clan was very sensitive to the emotional changes of living beings, even Emperor Xia was terrified when he saw him, but this kid didn't have the slightest emotion of fear, and even his heartbeat didn't change a bit.
"You say."
"I don't know if you can see who gave this dragon rope to Your Majesty."
Jiufeng's cold eyes finally revealed a little interest, just now Emperor Xia's series of expression changes and the gaze towards Xia Zili, and Xia Zili and Xia Ziyin and the expressions of others were all seen in his eyes, and seeing this kid and Xia Zili standing so close, it was obviously related to him.
What a funny kid.
Jiufeng looked at Emperor Xia and said in a deep voice, "Naturally." He originally planned that Emperor Xia would lie to him, so he would directly kill Xia Zili and Xia Ziyin together, so that Emperor Xia would steal chickens and rice, but for the sake of this kid's face, he was willing to let Xia Zili die.
Their Nine Winds clan was worshiped as a god by humans in ancient times, although with the prosperity of the human race, the reputation of the divine bird Nine Winds has become a false name, but in the cognition of the Nine Winds clan, human beings are like ants, killing one more person and killing one less person is just a fleeting idea for them.
Emperor Xia's heart trembled, and Xia Ziyin was trembling.
"Nine, Lord Nine Winds......" Emperor Xia didn't know how to reply for a while.
Jiufeng instantly shrunk his body, turned himself into a big bird slightly larger than a human form, and fell into the hall.
The Nine Winds clan is naturally good at the art of transformation, but only by becoming a demon emperor can they turn into a human form.
When Jiufeng shrunk his figure, people really saw his appearance clearly. His whole body was snow-white, except for a wisp of cyan feathers, and his long tail was slender and powerful like a phoenix's tail, half-hanging on the ground, shining in the light of the luminous stone.
The huge Nine Winds' human face will only make people feel frightened, but the smaller Nine Winds, that face makes people see a little handsome, in addition to the mouth has a beak, and the tail of the eyes also has cyan wind lines, which adds a bit of charm.
Jiufeng walked past Emperor Xia with his paws, and walked straight to Xia Ziyin's side, Xia Ziyin trembled, and as Jiufeng approached, the trembling became more and more violent, and finally he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Jiufeng sneered, his wings flapped slightly, Xia Ziyin knelt directly in front of him, Jiufeng leaned over, and his beak was lightly touched in the center of Xia Ziyin's eyebrows.
And throughout the whole process, everyone was motionless, not because they didn't want to move, but because they couldn't.
