Chapter 205

Xie Tiao did not let him off.

He gave a heavy, cold snort.

His tone was full of displeasure.

The words had just left his mouth.

Including Xiang Yutian.

Everyone present lowered their heads in shame, not daring to speak out in rebuttal.

A good while passed.

Zhu Yuyan stepped out from the crowd.

She bowed with full reverence and began to speak.

"I implore the Ancestor and the Evil Emperor to lead us in rallying our banners and glorifying Shengmen!"

At these words.

The crowd was instantly stunned.

Then, as if realizing something.

They all shouted excitedly in unison.

"I implore the Ancestor and the Evil Emperor to lead us in rallying our banners and glorifying Shengmen!"

Their voices were perfectly in unison, soaring to the skies.

The gazes they cast upon the two were full of hope.

"Enough. We already know about the Qinglong Token."

"We came back this time precisely to prevent Shengmen from being destroyed!"

"Additionally, the Heavenly Monk of Jingnian Chan Temple and the Earth Nun of Pudu Cihang have also returned."

"And there are two Yunzhou Shaolin monks mixed in with them. Do any of you know who they are?"

Cang Ku waved his hand and spoke up.

If he could not set Shengmen aside.

He would not have come back at all this time.

Let alone having called Xie Tiao along with him.

"If this subordinate has guessed correctly, those two should be Shenxiu and Huineng of Great Song Shaolin."

"Their cultivation is unfathomable!"

Zhu Yuyan furrowed her willow brows slightly in thought and replied respectfully.

Yet a faint trace of wariness inevitably crept into her words.

On careful thought, it made sense.

Shengmen had always been at odds with Cihang Jingzhai.

And Jingnian Chan Temple was of the same cloth as Cihang Jingzhai.

Now with Shenxiu and Huineng added on top.

If a real war were to break out.

Shengmen might not necessarily gain any advantage!

In fact.

It might even be at a disadvantage.

Naturally, this made her feel wary.

"There's no need to worry about this matter."

"On the way back, this Emperor and the Ancestor already detected Cihang Jingzhai's movements."

"Unless something unexpected happens, they should unite with the orthodox sects to resist the Qinglong Society."

"For our Shengmen, this is also a fine opportunity to rise!"

Sensing the wariness between her lines.

Xie Tiao chuckled lightly and said with an air of complete ease.

Hearing this.

The crowd first felt relief in their hearts, then joy.

The relief was.

That way.

They need not worry that Cihang Jingzhai would be the first to initiate conflict.

The joy was.

The Evil Emperor's words showed he had already begun thinking about how to lead everyone in restoring Shengmen!

Thinking of this.

Without the slightest hesitation, the crowd spoke in unison without thinking twice.

"We shall heed the Ancestor's and the Evil Emperor's arrangements!"

"Good."

Cang Ku and Xie Tiao nodded.

Great Tang, Xuanming Sect.

"Damnable!"

"In the past, this Emperor thought his own ways were domineering enough!"

"Who would have thought the Qinglong Society would be even more domineering than this Emperor!"

"You really aren't afraid of pushing too hard and causing trouble in the end?!"

He tightly clenched the secret report in his hand.

The already terrifying expression on Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui's face grew even more terrifying.

His sharp eyes were filled with a cold chill.

The atmosphere throughout the entire hall.

Dropped to freezing point along with his words.

Even the air seemed much more stifling and oppressive.

"Underworld Emperor, calm your anger. This old body believes we can submit on the surface."

"We can even borrow the hand of the Qinglong Society to destroy the Tongwen Hall and the Phantom Sound Workshop!"

"And wait for the right moment to overthrow the Great Tang!"

Meng Po, leaning on her cane with a hunched back, comforted him with a smiling chuckle.

It was only because she was far too aged.

That her smile looked utterly terrifying!

Hearing these words.

Zhu Yougui could not help but fall into silence.

His small hand lightly stroked his chin, his face thoughtful.

Clearly.

Meng Po's words had moved him.

Despite being the Underworld Emperor, one of the three great powers of the Great Tang.

He was still extremely clear in his heart about the strength of his own forces.

If they truly went up against the Qinglong Society.

That would undoubtedly be throwing an egg against a rock.

Even if they allied with the other forces of the Nine Provinces.

He still did not think they could be sure of victory.

Therefore.

Upon suddenly hearing Meng Po's suggestion.

How could he possibly not be tempted?!

Time passed second by second.

He deliberated for a while.
