The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 334 I Like It, Win People Over with Virtue!
Chapter 334: Chapter 334 I Like It, Win People Over with Virtue!
At this moment, everyone’s gaze in the Yuanshifang fell upon Yue Qinglan.
Would the Taihuang Holy Land Saint Master kneel or not?
"Taihuang Holy Land Saint Master, Yue Qinglan, pays respects to the Saint Emperor." Yue Qinglan did not hesitate and knelt on one knee, submitting before Yang Yan.
Her expression did not change at all!
At this point, she understood.
The only way to survive was this one path, kneeling!
Anything else?
There was another path, where today Taihuang Holy Land would be flattened by Yang Yan and his men!
Under the union of many sects and an Emperor Dynasty, Taihuang Holy Land stood no chance.
"Yang... Saint Emperor, please do not kill my master.
There is a misunderstanding between her and you that caused her disrespect. I hope you can forgive her!" Su Yunke knelt before Yang Yan at this moment, pleading with him.
Although she knew that most things Moon Saint had taught her were incorrect, there seemed to be secrets.
But the other party was still her master, who had raised her with kindness.
Even though she knew the master before her wasn’t truly the original, she still had to speak for the other party.
"Saint Emperor, please spare the Saint Master’s life!" He Yi’er also knelt before Yang Yan, pleading.
Besides their Saintess, the other female cultivators of Taihuang Holy Land also knelt before Yang Yan to plead for Yue Qinglan.
"Moon Saint Master, your disciples are pleading for you.
Are you still so obstinate, unwilling to say anything?" The Old Sword God said.
He was reminding Yue Qinglan that it was time to lower her head; persisting further would only lead to death!
Moreover, since Yue Qinglan had already knelt, lowering her head a little more wouldn’t hurt.
"Please forgive me, Saint Emperor!" Yue Qinglan finally lowered her head and asked for Yang Yan’s forgiveness.
Yang Yan’s eyes flickered slightly.
"You have offended me and deserve to die.
However, Su Yunke just pleaded for you and explained on your behalf.
Now, considering her pleading and the Old Sword God’s intercession,
I will give you a chance to live!"
His voice carried supreme authority, allowing no doubt.
"Thank you, Saint Emperor!" Hearing that Yang Yan would not kill Yue Qinglan, Su Yunke and He Yi’er looked pleased.
Yue Qinglan, however, did not feel too happy; she suspected Yang Yan wouldn’t let her go so easily!
Because the other party was the Emperor Dynasty’s ruler, once threatened, a simple plea wouldn’t resolve things?
That would be taking the Emperor Dynasty’s ruler too lightly!
"Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. I’m merely giving her a chance to live.
Capital punishment can be avoided, but living sins are inevitable!
Today, the Bell Furnace above her head, I want to take it.
The raw stones in the Yuanshifang, I also want them!
The Moon Saint Master must also promise that Taihuang Holy Land will protect my Emperor Dynasty for a hundred years.
No discontent will be allowed!
And she must swear by the Heavenly Dao, with her Dao Heart.
She must remain loyal to me without the slightest intention of threatening me!
Moon Saint Master, can you accept?"
Yang Yan’s conditions were extremely harsh!
Su Yunke and He Yi’er looked at Yue Qinglan, knowing it was inappropriate for them to persuade further at this moment.
Because the situation was beyond their control!
*As expected!*
Yue Qinglan’s expression darkened.
"To report to the Saint Emperor, I accept!" she said, lowering her head.
She had no other choice but to accept!
Otherwise, Yang Yan would act against her, against Taihuang Holy Land!
Yang Yan’s gaze was deep.
"All right, since you agreed, let’s begin!"
"Yes!"
Yue Qinglan immediately swore loyalty to Yang Yan.
After her oath, she took down the Bell Furnace suspended above her and erased her imprint.
Her blood churned, and her face turned pale.
Because erasing the imprint she left on the Bell Furnace severely hurt her body.
"Saint Emperor, please accept it!"
She held the Bell Furnace in her hands and presented it to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan stored the Bell Furnace in his Four Extremes Secret Realm.
"You may all rise now!" he gestured with a raise of his hand.
"Thank you, Saint Emperor!"
Su Yunke and He Yi’er immediately stepped forward together to help up Yue Qinglan.
"Master, are you all right?" Su Yunke asked with concern.
Yue Qinglan forced a vague smile.
"I am fine. You should arrange for someone to gather the raw stones and hand them over to the Saint Emperor!"
"Okay, Master. I’ll make arrangements immediately." Su Yunke agreed and subsequently instructed a bald man.
The bald man dared not speak a word and carried out the order directly.
"Saint Emperor, what about them?" The Old Sword God glanced at Zhao Xuanyin and the Blind Old Man, asking.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanyin and the Blind Old Man’s hearts skipped a beat.
"Saint Emperor, I have not disrespected you. Please spare my life!" Zhao Xuanyin immediately knelt to Yang Yan, pleading.
His reaction was quick!
Behind him, both the guests who came to buy raw stones and the various managers within Taihuang Stone City engaged in buying and selling raw stones also bowed their heads to the ground.
"Saint Emperor, we revere you. Please spare us!"
Their words were almost alike, all pleading for Yang Yan to spare them.
The Blind Old Man also knelt silently on the ground.
Yang Yan didn’t immediately speak. The Old Sword God beside him communicated with him via Secret Transmission.
"They have overheard my conversation with Yue Qinglan and learned a bit of her secrets.
I’m afraid if we let them go, Yue Qinglan won’t let them leave easily either."
Yang Yan understood.
Yue Qinglan would make a move against Zhao Xuanyin and the others!
*Yue Qinglan’s secrets are quite unusual; I will ask the Old Sword God later!* he thought.
As for the people in front of him...
"Since they are doomed sooner or later, we should not waste the power and treasures on them; I want it all!"
The Old Sword God nodded, refraining from further speech.
"Saint Emperor, this old man has something to say!" After their dialogue, moments of Yang Yan emitting some killing intent,
the Blind Old Man seemed to perceive something and spoke up.
Yang Yan knew this Blind Old Man was not a weak Earth Master and had rather clever means.
"Speak!"
"Yes." The Blind Old Man knelt on the ground. "Saint Emperor, I, the Blind Old Man, have been blind since childhood and stumbled into being an Earth Master.
As of today, it’s been three hundred years now!
Now that I am old, on the verge of death, I have no other desires!
I only wish to follow an enlightened ruler, to walk my final steps, showcasing my last brilliance.
And Saint Emperor, you are the one I wish to follow!
Please accept this old man. I am willing to serve you faithfully, enduring countless deaths!"
Dong dong dong!
He knocked his head on the ground several times.
"Blind Old Man, you..." Zhao Xuanyin beside him was stunned.
The Blind Old Man had support from an organization and was not weak.
Xianyun Sect wanted him to join them, but he ignored them!
Now, Yang Yan hadn’t even said he would execute him, yet he was rushing to pledge allegiance.
That was somewhat ridiculous!
"Saint Emperor, I also have another matter to say." The Blind Old Man suddenly got up.
"Zhao Xuanyin, along with him, him, and him!
They have arranged people outside, planning to intercept and suppress you."
He fervently pointed at the kneeling individuals beside him!
Damn!
Zhao Xuanyin was the first to curse.
The Blind Old Man was trying to get him killed!
"Blind Old Man, don’t talk nonsense!
When did I ever plot against the Saint Emperor!
My admiration for the Saint Emperor is like the endless waters of the Yangtze River, continuously flowing, like the Yellow River flooding out of control!" he shouted angrily.
The Blind Old Man raised his head, his eyes looking at Zhao Xuanyin.
His pale eyes reflected a teasing expression.
"Is that so? I think the Xianyun Sect has already sent people over.
Zhao Xuanyin, do you want the Saint Emperor to accompany you outside for a walk?"
This...
Zhao Xuanyin was rendered speechless, collapsing and kneeling on the ground.
"Saint Emperor, I indeed had thoughts of harming you before, trying to seize the raw stones you purchased!
After all, the raw stones you bought contained treasures of Divine Origin.
But now, I absolutely have no intent of harming you.
Not even a bit!
Give me ten more guts, and I still wouldn’t dare!" he cried out.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The ground trembled as waves of strong Profound Qi surged in.
Zhao Xuanyin trembled all over, lying prone on the ground, frightened out of his wits.
"Saint Emperor, please don’t kill me, don’t kill me!
I can act as bait, leading your people to ambush those from my Xianyun Sect!
I can also persuade my father to submit to the Saint Emperor."
He hurriedly voiced his suggestions, his trousers soaking wet in the process.
Terrifying!
The people around almost annihilated him!
Yang Yan gazed down at Zhao Xuanyin.
"There are always some rebellious subjects who want to harm me!"
He glanced over the people kneeling before him.
"What about you?"
The others wore mournful expressions like those at a funeral.
"I am willing, just like Zhao Xuanyin, to persuade those from my sects to come!"
"I am too!"
"..."
They spoke one by one.
"In that case, I will accompany you all on this journey!" Yang Yan stated.
He then turned to issue orders to the Old Sword God and the others.
"Stay in the sky and wait for my command!"
"We solemnly obey the Saint Emperor’s command!" they replied in unison.
The Blind Old Man wiped sweat from his forehead.
"Saint Emperor, isn’t it too dangerous for you to follow them to meet those ambushers?
For your safety, shall we let the Old Sword God lead his men to sweep through directly?" he advised.
Yang Yan stood with hands clasped behind his back.
"I do not delight in killing and fighting!
I prefer to subdue people with virtue!"
To subdue with virtue!
"What noble virtuous conquest, incredibly wise gloriously, I admire so much; please allow me to compose a poem for you," the Blind Old Man bowed.
"Along the way!"
"Fine, fine!"
