Chapter 1 Cursing Jiang Chen to Death?

Ye Yang's words were like a thunderclap, stunning everyone into silence.

Bu Ting was the first to react. "Ye Yang, no, King Qi Jian, think twice! Jiang Chen has rendered meritorious service and cannot be executed casually."

Ye Yang's voice was as cold as ice, "The Emperor promised Jiu Guan Dao Ren that no matter how many times he was reincarnated, whatever his name, as long as he reunited with the Emperor's arrangement, he could order any of the Emperor's subordinates to do three things unconditionally."

"I don't need three things. I only need you to do one: Execute Jiang Chen."

"This…" Bu Ting pleaded, "King Qi Jian, please think twice."

Ye Yang's face was grim. "I can understand if the Emperor's subordinates don't recognize his secret edict. But you, the Supervisor, don't recognize it either?"

I roughly understood that the Emperor had arranged for a spokesperson to execute his secret edict before his death, and that person was the "Supervisor."

Bu Ting held the secret art that could instantly kill all of the Emperor's subordinates.

Before meeting the "Supervisor," Ye Yang wanted to execute Jiang Chen but lacked the power. After the "Supervisor" appeared, Ye Yang had the authority to kill.

Bu Ting said bitterly, "Your subject must naturally obey the Emperor's secret edict."

"But Jiang Chen is a man of great merit. To execute him innocently like this, wouldn't it be… wouldn't it be…"

Jiang Chen sneered before Bu Ting could finish, "Bu Ting, why beg him? Can't you see that he's trying to get revenge for Li Po?"

"He's no longer the Jiu Guan Dao Ren of the past. What's the use of begging him! Do it!"

No one present was a fool. Who couldn't see what Ye Yang meant?

Bu Ting was silent for a moment, still striving to argue. "Your Majesty's will, this subject dare not disobey. However, this subject still has something to say."

"The reason King Qi Jian wants to execute Jiang Chen is simply because he injured Li Po. But has King Qi Jian ever considered why Jiang Chen repeatedly targeted Li Po?"

Bu Ting said sorrowfully, "King Qi Jian, do you know how much sacrifice we made to open up the Jianmu Secret Realm, attacking Tian Hun from two sides? All of the Emperor's subordinates have already given their lives!"

"Let's not even talk about Jiang Chen merging with Jianmu and disappearing upon death!"

"Just say we, the Left Four Guards, will have no more successors. The Di Xiansheng (Earth Master) will become an eternal echo!"

"When I told Xiang Zhennan, Xiang Kai, Bu Youming, those children: the Five Directions Tomb must be guarded by the ghost of Di Xiansheng to ensure that Jianmu is not lost."

"Those children agreed without a moment's hesitation."

"When they agreed to give their lives to protect the Dao, tears streamed down my face!"

"Doesn't my heart ache to see them die?"

"For the sake of righteousness, I can only watch them die one by one before my eyes."

Bu Ting choked with sobs, "If there are any survivors after the great battle here, the heroic deeds of those children will still be spread throughout the art world. If we all die, who will know that there were five young Di Xiansheng who, for the sake of righteousness, did not hesitate to bear infamy and commit suicide in front of everyone?"

"And Nangong Yunmeng!"

"She loved the Emperor all her life and guarded his remains."

"The Emperor's remains were her last remembrance."

"When I told her that the Emperor's remains had to be destroyed, she was utterly devastated."

"She didn't want to see the Emperor's remains dissipate, so she chose to cooperate with us in death to deceive He Lingbo."

"She said: As long as her eyes were not closed, she would watch over the Emperor."

"Nangong Yunmeng's corpse was not staring with unclosed eyes because she couldn't rest, but to send the Emperor on his final journey."

Bu Ting sighed here and said, "The purpose of our doing this is not only to promote Jianmu, but also to deceive He Lingbo into giving the Tian Jing (Celestial Crystal) containing the Emperor's will to the Reincarnation Holy Lord."

"When the Reincarnation Holy Lord comes into contact with the Tian Jing, the Emperor's will will automatically detonate. This is the killing move the Emperor laid for the Reincarnation Holy Lord. Once the Reincarnation Holy Lord dies, he will naturally sever all contact with the Heavenly Prison."

"The Lord of Tian Hun doesn't know that Jianmu has been completed, so Commander Chunfeng's Embroidered Uniform Guards can play a surprise role."

"If Li Po hadn't resisted at the time, our plan would have progressed steadily."

"Unfortunately, Li Po reminded He Lingbo at the last moment, causing our plan to fall short."

"Most importantly, we failed to keep He Lingbo. Our plan was thus leaked, and the Reincarnation Department will inevitably risk everything to attack the Yin Yang Inn and redeploy defenses in the Heavenly Prison."

"What price will we have to pay to reverse the situation?"

"Countless heroic souls, countless heroes, will all be wiped out because of Li Po's words. The grand scheme we have set up at such a great cost has completely collapsed."

"Who wouldn't be angry?"

Bu Ting took a deep breath here and said, "King Qi Jian, forgive me for speaking frankly. Since Li Po was able to reveal the secret of the Tian Jing, he should have guessed our layout."

"Sacrifice one person to save the world! Why not?"

"I believe that even if Commander Chunfeng were here, he wouldn't destroy the Emperor's plan because of Li Po."

"King Qi Jian, do you think Jiang Chen shouldn't be angry, shouldn't have attacked Li Po?"

"If, even now, you still think Jiang Chen deserves to die, I have nothing to say, but I am not convinced."
