Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 5445: Fake it
After walking out of the deck, Bai Mu did not stay on the warship for long, but flew straight towards the Snow Country.
After returning all the way to the border of the Snow Country, Bai Mu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and gathered everyone back to the castle.
After returning to the castle, Bai Mu immediately released the four elders who were imprisoned.
At this moment, everyone gathered at the elders' meeting. Bai Mu sat in the seat that originally belonged to the chief elder Qin Wu with a sad face.
Seeing this scene, the four elders who were released were shocked. They had already predicted the outcome of Bai Mu's trip.
"Elder Bai Mu, what is the situation of the Great Elder?"
The four elders all looked at Bai Mu and asked in a serious tone.
At this moment, they had no intention of worrying about Bai Mu's previous imprisonment of them, they just wanted to know the exact news.
"I'm sorry, elders. I did meet the Great Elder, but he refused to comply with Qingbei Hou's request."
"He even threatened me with his life, asking me not to agree to Qingbei Hou's request."
"The negotiations failed. Although I didn't see the death of the Great Elder with my own eyes, given the brutality of Qingbei Hou..."
Bai Mu sighed and a tear squeezed out of the corner of his eye.
"Impossible! You must have deliberately rejected Qingbei Hou's request in order to seize the position of the Great Elder."
"No matter what the conditions are, the life of the Great Elder is of utmost importance!"
One of the four elders had a bad temper. After hearing what Bai Mu said, he angrily retorted on the spot.
He didn't believe what Bai Mu said and was sure that Bai Mu did it on purpose.
"Hey, Elder Ma, how can you look at me like that?"
"I might as well tell you the truth. The person that Qingbei Hou wants us to hand over is none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Bai Mu looked at Elder Ma in disbelief, then he slammed the table with an expression of having learned his lesson, stood up and shouted.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders present were shocked.
Including the elders who followed Bai Mu, they had never imagined that the person Qingbei Hou wanted them to hand over was actually Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"How can it be!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Elder Ma, but also the other three elders who followed Qin Wu stood up suddenly.
They stared at Bai Mu with serious expressions, obviously not believing what he said.
Everyone in the Council of Elders knew that Great Elder Qin Wu was an absolute pro-prince faction.
At this moment, Bai Mu said these words, clearly intending to use the name of Princess Wan Renxue to cover up the fact that he had harmed the Great Elder.
"I know you may find it hard to believe what I said, but don't you want to know why Her Royal Highness the Princess returned with a group of imperial men?"
"In fact, the reason why Qingbei Hou led the army here was to take away Her Royal Highness the Princess who had caused such a commotion in the imperial city of Tianyu Empire."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess went to the Imperial City to retrieve our clan's secret treasure..."
Bai Mu sighed and told on the spot everything Wan Renxue had done after he went to the imperial city of Tianyu Empire.
Of course, what he knew was merely what the imperial prince had speculated.
For example, Lu Shang died at the hands of the Snow Clan.
"what?!"
When all the elders present heard that Wan Renxue had led people to kill Qingbei Hou's son, they all looked at each other in surprise for a moment.
The capabilities of Qingbei Hou were very clear to the elders who had been fighting against the empire for years.
Now Qingbei Hou has come with a large army, and his purpose is to force them to hand over Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"If what Elder Bai Mu said is true, then we will never hand over Her Royal Highness the Princess no matter what!"
Elder Ma's face was no longer as excited as before, but he spoke in a deep voice.
After all, what Bai Mu said was exactly the same as what happened after Wan Renxue returned.
They also knew Qingbei Hou very well. Unless there were special circumstances, Qingbei Hou would absolutely try his best to avoid a war between the Empire and the Snow Country.
Now that Qingbei Hou has come here in person with his army, something must have happened that has made him furious.
"Yes, I think so too. If we hand the princess over to the Marquis of Qingbei, how can we face our ancestors in the underworld?"
Seeing this, Bai Mu puffed out his chest and shouted loudly, his face full of righteousness.
Upon hearing this, the other elders couldn't help but straighten their chests and show their agreement.
"So, I think you all should now understand why I rejected Qingbei Hou's conditions."
"I admit that during the internal struggle of the Snow Country, the Great Elder and I did have conflicts with each other."
"But what we are facing now is a struggle between nations. How could I put the Great Elder in danger just because of my personal feelings?"
After Bai Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly, with a look of grief on his face.
With such superb acting skills, he immediately gained the trust of Elder Ma and the other four elders.
"I'm sorry, Elder Bai Mu, I was too harsh in my words just now."
Elder Ma showed a sincere look on his face and bowed his head to apologize to Bai Mu.
The other three elders also bowed in greeting, their faces full of apology.
"That's fine. What we need to worry about now is probably how to deal with Qingbei Hou and the army he brought with him."
"I noticed during the previous negotiations that Qingbei Hou can be said to have mobilized his entire army this time."
"The 100,000 Qingbei troops under his command are now stationed outside the border of the Snow Country, ready to attack at any time!"
Bai Mu spoke with a solemn expression, describing in detail the scenes he had seen on Qingbei Hou's warship.
"One hundred thousand..."
Hearing this, the elders present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The Snow Country has only 30,000 soldiers, probably because it is located on an ice field and the fertility environment is very poor.
Even though the Snow Clan members possessed an innate cold energy, it was difficult for them to fight against Qingbei Hou’s army when their military strength far exceeded their own by several times.
Not to mention that in addition to this powerful army of 100,000 soldiers, there are also figures like Qingbei Hou in charge.
After what happened today, I’m afraid the entire Snow Country will fall!
"I don't know what the outcome will be. My opinion is to mobilize all the troops of the Snow Country to fight to the death with the army of Qingbei Hou."
"Qingbei Hou is now blocking the door. It is impossible to escape."
"Not to mention that for the glory of the Snow Country, I will definitely fight until my last drop of blood is shed!"
"Now, if any of the elders want to escape, I, Bai Mu, will never stop them."
Bai Mu said in a deep voice, his face full of determination.
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders present responded immediately.
"Elder Bai Mu, I have had many misunderstandings about you in the past, and even slandered you."
"But today, facing the catastrophic disaster of the Snow Country, I will definitely fight with you until the last moment!"
