Tian Yuan

Things had developed to this point, and even if Qi Mo didn't send a message back, the top leaders in the imperial city would have already known about it.

This place is very close to the imperial city, which is like being at one’s doorstep.

The sudden appearance of such a terrifying and powerful being shook the Zi Lian Dynasty to its core. They immediately convened a meeting of clan elders to discuss how to deal with the situation.

I thought that even if General Qi was defeated, he could still hold on for a while. But I didn't expect him to be defeated so quickly. The two sides were not on the same level at all, which really scared a large number of high-ranking officials in the imperial city.

"Om-"

In just a few breaths, the void above the ancient city became extremely distorted, and slowly formed a looming human figure, which was slightly blurry and had extremely strong pressure.

"Your Majesty."

Qi Mo suppressed his injuries and called out to the figure in a respectful tone. He quickly lowered his head, feeling guilty and having brought shame to the royal family.

This phantom is the projection of Emperor Zi Lian’s consciousness.

He has been in a high position for many years, and his every move shows his majesty.

"What do you call fellow Taoist?"

The emperor ignored Qi Mo and the others, his empty eyes fixed on Chen Qingyuan. Although his tone was cold, it was polite and respectful.

"List."

Chen Qingyuan only told a last name.

"Friend Chen, today's incident was just a misunderstanding. There's no need to make it out of hand." It's completely acceptable for powerful people to have a bad temper. The emperor lowered his status, hoping to take a step back and have a broader horizon: "I have understood the cause and effect of the matter, so let's just leave it at that!"

These words undoubtedly acknowledged Chen Qingyuan's strength. He did not want to pursue the death of the Seventeenth Prince and was unwilling to let the situation become serious.

"Apologize."

Chen Qingyuan said coldly.

Everyone thought that Chen Qingyuan would go down the stairs, end the matter, and get along in peace. But they never expected him to be so tough and even ask the emperor to apologize in person. He was not afraid of angering the dynasty.

The emperor remained silent. On the surface, he looked indifferent, but in his heart he was burning with anger. However, he did not vent his anger, lest this incident end badly.

If you are not absolutely sure, you should not provoke a powerful enemy with unfathomable strength.

Otherwise, the Zi Lian Dynasty will definitely have a lot of headaches in the future.

"On behalf of the Zilian Dynasty, I express my sincere apologies to Fellow Daoist Chen and your disciple."

After some consideration, the emperor decided to take a step back and apologize loudly in front of everyone.

I really can't figure out Chen Qingyuan's background and I can't see through him at all.

For the sake of the overall situation, there is no way to avoid losing face.

"anything else?"

Chen Qingyuan gestured.

"what?"

The emperor doesn’t understand yet.

"Since it's an apology, how about compensation?"

It would be so embarrassing to force Chen Qingyuan to make it clear.

"..."

The emperor was silent again.

Everyone present was prostrating themselves and trembling.

The conversations and games between the big guys made the little guys tremble all over just listening to them. The chill swept through and spread to every corner.

Inside the imperial city, the emperor sat on the main seat with his hands clasped together and a gloomy face.

The ministers and elders on both sides saw the real-time image of the ancient city not far away through the magic mirror, and they all had a bit of anger on their faces. They really didn't know where this person came from. He dared to confront the dynasty head-on and didn't give any face at all.

"Here you go." After a while, the emperor endured it again, raised his hand and tore a crack in space, and sent a top-grade Qiankun bag to Chen Qingyuan.

There were no restrictions on the Qiankun bag. Chen Qingyuan opened it and saw one million top-grade spirit stones inside.

Seeing this, Chen Qingyuan remained calm and said indifferently: "Not enough."

"Are you deliberately trying to stir up trouble, and are you determined to fight to the death?"

The emperor could no longer hold back his anger, and his mighty power descended upon the world, causing countless buildings in the city to collapse. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and there was a depressing atmosphere as he questioned in a stern voice.

You killed my son and now you want me to apologize.

Okay, this matter is indeed unreasonable, I admit it.

I gave you an apology, but you complained it was not enough.

In front of so many people, he didn't give the Zi Lian Dynasty any face. As the ruler of a dynasty, he had never suffered such humiliation.

"These guys were disrespectful to me just now, but I showed mercy." Chen Qingyuan glanced at Qi Mo and others, and said bluntly: "They have to pay me for their lives! If the Zilian Dynasty thinks they are not important, then I will kill them and I don't have to pay the fee."

The reason why Chen Qingyuan spared the lives of Qi Mo and others was not because he was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, but because he wanted to make money.

Anyway, I can't keep a low profile this time, and I have consumed some spiritual energy. Of course, I have to do something meaningful and not lose anything.

"How much do you want?"

The emperor's tone changed obviously, and it seemed that he was about to lose his temper.

In fact, even if these 800 Tianfu soldiers were rescued, it would be difficult for them to recover as before, so it is better to give up.

However, in order not to disappoint the soldiers and for the sake of the dynasty's reputation, it must not be abandoned, otherwise it will easily shake the morale of the army.

"Give them 10 million top-grade spirit stones, and these people can survive."

Chen Qingyuan didn't want to push too hard, so he gave a similar number.

"You..." Ten million top-grade spirit stones were far from enough to cause any serious damage to the huge Zi Lian Dynasty, but it was a little infuriating, and people wanted to cut Chen Qingyuan into pieces and skin him alive.

"Don't be unconvinced. I'm only doing this because I'm in a good mood. Otherwise, it wouldn't be this price."

Chen Qingyuan was still sitting on the old ox's back, looking lazy.

"I can pay the price you asked." The emperor suppressed his anger and said thoughtfully, "But I have to see if you can afford it."

"I have a big appetite."

Chen Qingyuan heard the deeper meaning in the other party's words. He was trying to test the depth of his own strength.

"Do you dare to take my attack head-on?" The emperor made a decision: "If you can take it, I will give you 20 million spirit stones as an apology; if you can't take it, the result is self-evident."

"it is good."

How could Chen Qingyuan refuse the benefits that were delivered to his door?

"When entering the sea of ​​stars, do not harm innocent people."

Although the emperor was very angry, he was still very rational. This ancient city was his own territory. If it was destroyed, it would cost a lot of material and financial resources to rebuild it, which would only add to his troubles.

"According to your."

The sponsor spoke, and Chen Qingyuan nodded in agreement without refutation.

He rolled over onto the ground and walked slowly forward.

"Master." Even though Tang Wan'er knew Chen Qingyuan's identity and background, she was still worried and whispered, "You have to be careful!"

"Moo..." The old ox also mooed, extremely scared and nervous.

"Well, don't worry!"

Chen Qingyuan looked back and smiled, then strolled leisurely in the garden.

In fact, even if the emperor did not propose to test his strength, Chen Qingyuan would have shown it. Only by making the Zilian Dynasty afraid can he ensure that he will not be disturbed in the future and can live a peaceful life.

As you walk, you suddenly reach a point of no return.

A simple dress could not conceal Chen Qingyuan's extraordinary and otherworldly temperament.

When he stood on a high place, everyone looked at his tall figure, and their souls couldn't help but be shaken.
