Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"Forgive me? You are all descendants of meritorious officials of the Jiuli Dynasty. Do I have the right to punish you?" The Jiuli Emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, and we are all your subjects. Your Majesty is naturally qualified to punish us!" said the famous Lin family member.

No matter what, from the perspective of etiquette and law, the status of the Jiuli Emperor is the highest. Even if the Jiujiang Lin family has a strong foundation, if they are labeled as "disrespecting the emperor", any force in the Jiuli Dynasty can use this as an excuse to send troops to attack their Lin family.

You have to know that within the Jiuli Dynasty, there is more than just one big clan, the Jiujiang Lin family. There are at least fifty other ancient aristocratic families and sects. If they were to be attacked by all of them, it is not impossible for the Lin family to be directly destroyed.

"boom"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the Five Mountains and Four Rivers formed a large seal, which suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the competition arena, causing chaos immediately.

The fighting arena was protected by a unique formation and did not suffer any damage, but Ma Ningyuan, who was standing on it, suffered the consequences. He was smashed into a ball of meat paste by the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and died on the spot.

"Where is King Wuping? Your daughter is in my hands. If you don't want her to die, come out and see me!"

Just when everyone had not yet recovered from their shock, such a voice rang out in the room.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and even the Emperor of Jiuli turned around suddenly, sensing a familiar breath.

A few hundred meters away, a handsome young man stood in the sky, sword in hand. His robe, emblazoned with runes like the Yin-Yang and Eight Diagrams, rustled in the wind. One hand, like a pair of pliers, gripped a young girl's throat tightly. He shouted, "Where is King Wuping? Come out and see me!"

When people looked closely and saw what the girl whose neck was being strangled looked like, they were all shocked.

Isn't that the Ninth Princess?!

"You bastard! Do you know who you are holding? Hurry up and…"

Someone shouted loudly, but before he could finish his words, he was suppressed by a terrible pressure like an abyss and an ocean, and was unable to speak.

The Emperor of Jiuli stood up from the throne, his hands behind his back, and stood in the air. He stared at Gu Chi and said, "Prince Wuping is not here today. If you have anything to say, just speak to me directly."

When Emperor Jiuli heard Gu Chi say that he wanted to meet King Wuping, he had already guessed that this person did not know the identity of the person he was holding hostage.

After hearing the words of the Jiuli Emperor, everyone present was confused.

Who was King Wuping? Was there such a prince in the Jiuli Dynasty? Why have we never heard of him before?

Also, wasn't the person the young man was holding hostage the Ninth Princess? When did she become the daughter of Prince Wuping?

"Are you from Qian Country?" The Emperor of Jiuli stared at Gu Chi with his deep eyes. He had never expected that the person who suppressed and kidnapped his daughter was just a young cultivator from Qian Country who had just reached the tenth level of Qi training.

Gu Chi did not answer this question, but asked the Jiuli Emperor to drive away everyone present and talk to him alone.

"Just tell me what you want." The Emperor of Jiuli took a step forward, trying to find an opportunity to rescue Su Mo.

However, Gu Chi immediately urged Cuo Yuqie to fly back more than a hundred meters and shouted coldly: "If you dare to take another step forward, I will strangle her to death!"

As she spoke, she exerted force with her five fingers, and Su Mo's entire face turned purple due to suffocation. He looked painful, but his magic power was sealed, and his hands and feet were bound by several magic chains, making it impossible for him to break free.

There was murderous intent in the eyes of the Jiuli Emperor, but he still stopped in an instant.

Gu Chi said: "Let those people get away!"

The Emperor of Jiuli shouted, "Didn't you hear me? Get out of here! I want to talk to him alone!"

After everyone left the scene, the Emperor of Jiuli looked up at Gu Chi and said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me now? What exactly do you want to do?"

"I want you to return all the bodies of my Qian Nation monks."

"no!"

The Emperor of Jiuli refused directly and decisively.

In the battle at the border, their Jiuli Dynasty also suffered heavy losses. Only by refining the corpses of the monks who died in the battle of Qian Kingdom into zombie puppets and incorporating them into the army can they make up for the losses as soon as possible.

This matter is of great importance and he cannot make the decision on his own.

"It seems that the legitimate daughter of a prince is of no value to you. If I kill her, how will King Wuping view you, the emperor?"

"How can a human life be compared with national affairs? Even if King Wuping was here right now, I would not agree to your request." The Emperor of Jiuli said in a calm tone.

"That means you don't care about her life or death at all, right?"

"If she lives, you don't have to die. If she dies, you won't be able to leave the capital alive."

"Then give it a try!" Gu Chi's tone suddenly turned cold, and the strength in his hands suddenly increased a bit, and he was about to strangle Su Mo's neck directly.

She was gambling on King Wuping's status in the Jiuli Dynasty and on the fact that the emperor would not let Su Mo be killed easily.

Of course, she had also prepared for the worst. If the Emperor of Jiuli really didn't care about Su Mo's life or death, not only would she not be able to bring the bodies of the Sect Master and others back to Qian Country, but she and the big black dog might also die here.

Seeing Su Mo struggling helplessly in Gu Chi's hands, his face gradually turning pale and bloodless, the Jiuli Emperor finally relented and growled, "Except for those who have been refined into zombie puppets, you can take the rest of the bodies back with you!"

Obviously, Gu Chi made the right bet. She guessed that Su Mo's father, the so-called King Wuping, definitely had a high status in the Jiuli Dynasty. Even the Emperor of Jiuli was wary of him and did not dare to take Su Mo's life on his shoulders.

"I'll wait here. If all the bodies of our Qian Nation monks aren't delivered before dark, she won't survive."

Gu Chi shook his hand and took out a black gold coffin. He slapped the lid open and threw Su Mo in. Then he closed the lid and sat on the coffin leisurely.

In the distance, the eyes of the Jiuli Emperor narrowed slightly. Just after Su Mo was locked in the black gold coffin, her breath disappeared.

The Emperor of Jiuli secretly counted on his fingers. Su Mo was clearly right under his nose, but the result was still the same as before. He could not deduce Su Mo's whereabouts.

Afterwards, he tried to use his spiritual power to transmit a message to Su Mo, but was surprised to find that his spiritual power could not be transmitted to Su Mo through the coffin and was isolated outside.

This coffin must be a special secret treasure that can block the secrets of heaven. No wonder no matter how hard he tried to deduce, he could not figure out the whereabouts of his daughter.

The Nine Li Emperor was filled with astonishment. How could a mere cultivator who had only reached the tenth stage of Qi cultivation and hadn't even established his foundation possess such a precious treasure? What was this person's background?
