Chapter 762: There is nothing to complain about! 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“As the Princely Heir asked me if there were any other Sky-Men, I naturally had to answer truthfully.”When Sect Master Xue Yao of the Long Sword Sect uttered these words, it indeed piqued Cheng Guang’s interest. He examined Sect Master Xue Yao with great interest, as well as the Sky-Man mentioned by Sect Master Xue Yao from the Heavenly Mountain Palace.
The woman shook her head, “Those are not from my Heavenly Mountain Palace, they are just the support we rely on.”
As the woman said this, a trace of arrogance inadvertently appeared on her face, as if the support behind her made her particularly proud.
Even in front of her, even though her life was in Cheng Guang’s hands, that arrogance was still unable to be concealed.
This made Cheng Guang curious.
...
What kind of power could make an old woman, a Sky-Man, feel so proud?
Was it the Great Tang?
Or some other force?
Cheng Guang only thought of the Great Tang or a force similar to the Great Tang, because in his view, it was just impossible for it to be the Heavenly Court or the Western Buddhas.
The reason was simple.
Whether it was the Celestial Gods of the Heavenly Court or the Western Buddhas, they stood too high.
They simply couldn’t look down.
A Sky-Man like the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace wouldn’t even catch the eye of the Heavenly Court.
Thinking this, Cheng Guang felt a bit certain that the power behind the Heavenly Mountain Palace was very likely the Great Tang.
If the power behind the Heavenly Mountain Palace was the Great Tang, then that was very strange.
If it were the Great Tang, why would it command the Heavenly Mountain Palace to ally with other sects and force the Great Zhou to send troops to attack Chang’an City?
Wasn’t this just sending them to death?
At this moment, Cheng Guang still found it somewhat impossible to understand the intentions of the Great Tang.
Or rather.
Cheng Guang still couldn’t quite comprehend the intentions of the Great Tang Emperor.
Sect Master Xue Yao sneered.
“You have so many Sky-Men backing you, and yet you forbid me from speaking?”
“The Princely Heir asked me to converse, and naturally, I must speak clearly.”
As Sect Master Xue Yao said this, he bowed respectfully to Cheng Guang and said with a sycophantic smile, “Isn’t that right, Princely Heir?”
Cheng Guang, long accustomed to the lack of integrity in Sect Master Xue Yao’s demeanor, was hardly surprised.
The longer one lives, the more shameless one becomes.
That is the norm.
After all, Sect Master Xue Yao did not know how many years he practiced to reach his current level of cultivation, and if he were to lose his life over a trivial matter, now that would truly be unworthy.
For Sect Master Xue Yao.
Except for life.
Everything else was trivial.
What sect.
What major affairs of the world.
They were all of no concern.
Cheng Guang did not respond to Sect Master Xue Yao, but his gaze fell on the face of the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace.
“Do you have a way to call the Sky-Men around you?”
“Or rather, are they around here?”
Cheng Guang asked this mainly to clarify if there were any Sky-Men from the Great Tang around.
If there were Sky-Men from the Great Tang present, even if Cheng Guang took great effort, he wouldn’t be able to make them leave.
If they knew that it was he who had moved against the four from the Heavenly Mountain Palace,
then the Great Tang Emperor would also know.
At present, Cheng Guang knew that the four from the Heavenly Mountain Palace were very likely a chess piece laid by the Great Tang Emperor, although he still did not know what the Great Tang Emperor’s purpose was.
But clearly.
Cheng Guang had already disrupted the Great Tang Emperor’s plans.
Regardless.
Cheng Guang was still not very keen on having a direct confrontation with the Great Tang Emperor; he would deal with it later.
At least until Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha arrived here.
With this in mind, Cheng Guang was already preparing to call for reinforcements.
And at this moment.
The Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace shook her head.
“There are none.”
“My backers are not here.”
After the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace finished speaking, Cheng Guang relaxed slightly.
Seeing Cheng Guang relax, the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace’s heart tightened immediately, thinking that Cheng Guang was going to strike her down harshly, and she quickly spoke up: “Even though they are not here, they know of me.”
“If something happens to me, Princely Heir, you won’t benefit from it.”
“They are not beings we can afford to offend!!”
The Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace spoke his last words with utmost seriousness, his expression also tightening.
It seemed as if the support behind him was extraordinary.
Indeed, it was extraordinary.
That was Great Tang.
If there were no Celestial Gods, nor the Western Buddhas.
The emergence of Great Tang could very likely have dominated alone.
But at the moment.
It was not possible.
Cheng Guang was not particularly fearful of Great Tang.
The Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace’s words also slightly eased Cheng Guang’s mood, which he had to admit.
Cheng Guang planned to immediately call over Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.
As for Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang, it would be better not to bother with that small fry.
If it were not for Cheng Guang fearing that Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang might escape while Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha were away, Cheng Guang would not have wanted Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha to bring Dongfang Chiguo Tianwang over.
After pondering for a while, Cheng Guang’s gaze fell upon the four people of the Long Sword Sect Master Xue Yao.
“Do you want to live right now?”
After Cheng Guang spoke.
The Sect Master Xue Yao was the first to step forward.
He knelt directly on the ground.
Without any backbone.
“Please, Princely Heir, spare our lives.”
Cheng Guang was taken aback when he saw Sect Master Xue Yao’s spineless demeanor.
He thought that Sect Master Xue Yao had no shame.
But he hadn’t expected that Sect Master Xue Yao could be so utterly shameless.
The other three, seeing Sect Master Xue Yao act in such a manner, were also momentarily stunned before hastily imitating him.
“Please, Princely Heir!”
“Spare our lives!”
Even the Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace lowered her head.
Even the backing Great Tang gave her was of no use anymore.
Right now, the people of Great Tang were not by her side, and if she wanted to live, she could only depend on Cheng Guang’s will.
Before, Cheng Guang had simply waved his hand and had severely injured all four Sky-Men.
The Master of the Heavenly Mountain Palace did not doubt that if Cheng Guang wished, he could simply move his hand and eliminate them all right there.
Cheng Guang nodded slightly; he did not yet intend to kill them all directly.
“Maintain your current situation, do not trouble the royal family members, and wait for my notification.”
After finishing his words, Cheng Guang slowly walked away.
After secretly informing Wu Ling of his plans, he then returned to Duke Zhen’s Mansion.
Cheng Guang did not kill Sect Master Xue Yao and his group; mainly, he wanted to see what Great Tang was up to.
Now that he had notified Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, there was still some time before they would arrive, so he might as well use this time to see what the Great Tang Emperor planned to do.
Later, as long as Cheng Guang kept control of the situation.
If Great Zhou delayed in sending troops to attack Chang’an City, the Great Tang Emperor would eventually become restless.
At that time, the Great Tang Emperor’s true intentions would be exposed.
Cheng Guang could also use this opportunity to see if he could persuade the Great Tang Emperor to join him.
Thinking this, Cheng Guang felt somewhat certain in his heart.
Meanwhile, as Cheng Guang pondered how to deal with the Great Tang Emperor, pondering what the purpose of having Great Zhou attack Chang’an City was, on another side.
Having just dealt with the four Sky-Men of Sect Master Xue Yao, holding the dangerous grip over the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Wu Ling’s prestige rose once again.
Even if the various Court officials had not yet been able to enter the Imperial Palace.
But within the imperial family, including Empress Dowager Li, Empress Wang, and numerous princes and princesses, as well as the royal family and relatives.
Wu Ling was undoubtedly the best candidate for the next Emperor of Great Zhou.
They were already prepared to make Wu Ling the next Great Zhou Emperor.
Even Empress Wang had no objections.
Other princes, some were a bit reluctant, but they did not say much.
Because their previous performance was indeed not as good as Wu Ling’s!
There was nothing to complain about!
