"Damn it!"
"If the Yan Kingdom Scholars and my uncle were here, how could they allow you to be so presumptuous in my Imperial Palace!"
Yan Hua looked at the plaza, now in ruins from the fight, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair.
He subconsciously clenched his fists so tightly that even as his sharp nails pierced his palms, he felt nothing!
He felt as though it wasn't the palace tiles that Mu Jinyu shattered, but his own face!
Those who had not intervened before, merely spectators and lucky survivors among the foreign dignitaries, were all filled with dread at the sight of Hong Shitian's death!
They gazed at Mu Jinyu with eyes full of fear and intimidation!
Even if someone was infuriated by Mu Jinyu's audacity to humiliate them, they dared not voice their anger!
Hong Shitian was at the Fourth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, among the top few in their group, few stronger than him, and none could have slapped him to death so easily!
For even Hong Shitian to be easily crushed by Mu Jinyu, should they want to make a move, wouldn't they end up the same way with just a slap or two from Mu Jinyu?
Mu Jinyu killed these clowns, his gaze coldly sweeping the crowd, seeing no one dared to act recklessly, he sneered and said, "Even ants dare to gesticulate at me!"
"Now... is there anyone else who dares to be presumptuous?"
No one spoke.
Mu Jinyu waited for about a minute, then huffed a little impatiently, and prepared to leave with Wen Rou and the others, not bothering to wait for Yan Chengyun's return.
Seeing this God of Killing about to leave, everyone present felt a huge sense of relief!
At this point, someone remained bitter at heart, filled with jealousy and resentment, and just happened to see the new Yan King, Yan Ran, with a livid face standing aside silently, which infuriated them.
So, you invited us to the Jade Emperor City to discourse, and when something happened in your King's City, he doesn't even dare to fart?
Immediately, the person couldn't help but taunt, "Yan Hua, what do you mean by this, inviting us here, yet allowing your people from Yan Kingdom to kill us? Did you do this on purpose? What grudge do we have with you to warrant this?"
"Hmm?" Mu Jinyu heard the voice, initially thought someone else was seeking death.
But soon, he realized this person was challenging Yan Hua, not him.
He pondered if Hong Shitian's earlier audacity was under Yan Hua's instruction, a plot to kill by proxy?
Was it to exhaust him in a battle with them, rendering him powerless against Yan Chengyun upon his return?
Or did Yan Hua find these people an eyesore, fearing they might become a grave threat to Yan Kingdom, thus using him to eliminate them?
Mu Jinyu was unsure of Yan Hua's plot.
So, he paused his steps, not in a hurry to leave.
Yan Hua, hearing the questioning, felt his soul nearly leave his body in fright!
Damn, if you really wanted to question, couldn't you have waited until Mu Jinyu, this God of Killing, was gone?
Questioning me now, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?!
"Yeah, Yan King, aren't you going to say something?!"
"Yan King, what do you mean by this, we were invited by you, yet you set up a Hongmen Banquet to harm us, do you really think the sects behind us are mere vegetarians?"
"..."
With that person's questioning, the crowd responded, emotions riled up, demanding Yan Hua give them an explanation!
Of course, because Mu Jinyu was still present, they dared not speak too directly.
For instance, saying outright that if Yan King wants to prove his innocence, not intending to harm them by proxy, then quickly send people to take down this miscreant Mu Jinyu!
If they dared to say that directly, they had no doubt Mu Jinyu would strike them down on the spot, slaughtering them with thunderous might!
Therefore, they could only subtly hint at Yan Hua to deal with Mu Jinyu.
And they put pressure in their words, if Yan Hua did not give an account, within days, the sects behind them would come all the way to join forces to obliterate Yan Kingdom!
Hearing their words, Yan Hua felt truly overwhelmed by pressure, almost unable to breathe.
In this scenario, even if he did not want to bow his head, letting the dignity of a Yan King be trampled upon by others.
But he had no choice but to bow his head.
Yan Hua glared hatefully at the pallid Yan Ran, sighed lowly, and said, "I do wish to give you all an explanation, but the Yan Kingdom Scholars have all gone to chase Zhao Daoji from the Zhao Kingdom, I have no experts left by my side..."
These words from Yan Hua were tantamount to smacking himself in the face!
The dignified Yan King, after Yan Chengyun and others left, found himself helpless against Mu Jinyu, utterly incapable of resistance!
This is practically giving the vast Yan Kingdom to Mu Jinyu to trample underfoot!
Where is the dignity of the Son of Heaven?
The remaining ten or so Heaven's Pride from other countries, upon hearing Yan Hua's words, no longer pressed him further.
But in their eyes, there was a rush of vengeful joy!
They thoroughly relished the joy of trampling the dignity of a monarch underfoot!
And naturally, they would not let Yan Hua off just because he said something demeaning to himself.
They did not speak further because Mu Jinyu was still present.
Once Mu Jinyu left, they would surely demand Yan Hua promise that when Yan Chengyun and the others return, they must kill Mu Jinyu!
Otherwise, even if they didn't deal with Yan Kingdom, the sects behind those who fell to Mu Jinyu wouldn't let Yan Kingdom off!
Mu Jinyu saw Yan Hua bowing to them like this and felt deep contempt for him!
With himself here to suppress them, would they really dare to be arrogant? Unfortunately, Yan Hua folded under their veiled pressure.
Utterly useless!
Hence, Mu Jinyu couldn't care less about their petty issues, even hearing the endless killing intent hidden in their words, he remained fearless!
If they dared come for revenge, he'd kill them all one by one!
Just as Mu Jinyu was about to leave!
"Whoosh whoosh!!"
Under the blood-red sunset, figures broke through the air, quickly landing in Jade Emperor City!
Yan Hua, full of humiliation and unwillingness, heard the commotion, looked up, and was immediately overjoyed.
The arrivals were none other than Yan Chengyun and Xiao Wudao and others, who had been out chasing Zhao Daoji without return!
"Hmm? What happened?!"
Xiao Wudao looked at the fragmented square below, hesitated for a moment, his expression slightly stern, and asked in a low voice.
Yan Hua could no longer care whether Zhao Daoji was dead or not and quickly recounted everything that had just happened.
Mu Jinyu, hearing the noise, sensed the immense pressure coming from behind, knowing Yan Chengyun must have arrived, had already stopped once again.
After Yan Hua finished his narrative, he simply added a sentence, a mere four words, yet speaking boundless killing intent and majesty!
"Those who insult me, die!"
Upon hearing these four words from Mu Jinyu, Yan Hua's body trembled slightly, his face paled, faintly realizing that under the earlier pressure from foreign dignitaries, perhaps he shouldn't have bowed his head!
He couldn't control the surge of admiration he felt towards Mu Jinyu's domineering approach!
If only he had Mu Jinyu's strength, facing the provocations and questioning from that group just now, why would he need to bow and admit a mistake, degrading Yan Kingdom as deserted?
He'd have just beheaded them all, then said, "Those who insult me, die!"
Wouldn't that be exhilarating?!
