1909: Spoiler, title at end (1/2)
Meng Wuzhen, with absolute self-confidence, said in a sinking tone, “This is my, Meng Wuzhen’s, promise! But it also is grasping true authority. Under only one person and above ten thousand, the free and unfettered visitor!”
Meng Wuzhen’s eyes were smiling. “I believe that Monarch Ye is an intelligent person, and won’t misunderstand my sincerity!”
So far, Ye Xiao was involuntarily laughing despite trying not to.
Even if it’s Ye Xiao, he couldn’t help but admit that this Meng Wuzhen was still truly a talented person.
His own evaluation just now was clearly too low!
“I believe you’ve already seen my sincerity.” Meng Wuzhen said, “I myself remained here, using the Western Sky Crown Prince’s bloodline and suffering serious injury, sacrificing the Hall of Returning Nature Headquarters’ over 27,000 followers, all those lives, and in addition the promise of the future Sky King, giving you the Prime Minister’s seat, as well as a kingly nobility title. This shows my highest and most genuine sincerity, paying this kind of cost to obtain your cooperation! How’s that?”
Meng Wuzhen’s face had a look of complete assurance on it.
He has all the assurance in the world that this can move Ye Xiao. He was convinced that apart from some of the princes and princesses of the skies, there wouldn’t be any person capable of resisting this kind of enticement!
Ye Xiao was no more than a leader of a Jianghu organization. How many grand scenes could he be capable of seeing? How could he possibly be an exception?!
…
In the strictest sense, if Meng Wuzhen had used these kinds of conditions for roping in the Brotherhood, perhaps the Brotherhood would have already become the subordinates of the Hall of Returning Nature.
It is exactly as Meng Wuzhen said, this kind of enticement is indeed something that the overwhelming majority of people cannot resist its attraction.
So much so that even Ye Xiao couldn’t help but acknowledge this.
Therefore, he laughed.
Hearing Ye Xiao’s clear laugh, Meng Wuzhen’s facial expression turned even happier than before. “Brother Ye is really a person with a clear view of things!”
Meng Wuzhen, hearing this, couldn’t help but stare. “Give too little? Conditions are even lower? It seems that Brother Ye’s appetite is not small, eh, that’s also no matter. I will be the Western Sky King, surveying the whole world, what could possibly be outside my cost to give, say it… what do you want? I’ll promise you whatever you wish!”
Ye Xiao lightly laughed. “You can’t give me what I want, even at that time when you become the Western Sky King, you still can’t give it to me… because what I want is the entire Human Realm Upon Heavens… the supreme dictator’s position. Do you understand?”
Meng Wuzhen’s face immediately changed colors!
At this one moment, he suddenly realized that he was mistaken, that he wrongly regarded one matter, one very frightening thing!
He should have escaped.
He should not have remained there to take that risk.
Meng Wuzhen absolutely hadn’t thought that Ye Xiao… really had this sort of ambition!
Meng Wuzhen took a deep breath, and said, “Since Brother Ye has this sort of hope, I also don’t wish to force you to do anything, but still, from now on our gratitude and grudges are finished business. Again we aren’t involved with each other, green hills unchanging, clear water flowing long, the next time we meet we should regard each other as making friends.”
Meng Wuzhen was also regarded to be a quick witted person. He modified his tone immediately to retain a grasp of the situation and walked back, he really was outstanding after all.
Ye Xiao chuckled. “An idiot’s dream, the biggest fear of his imperial dream is waking up. Meng Wuzhen, your beautiful dream is completely finished and empty, you should be at ease as you go on your way. In any case, I don’t want to say anything else to you, not even one word.”
(TLN: Reminder, the Meng in Meng Wuzhen’s name means dream)
Meng Wuzhen, frightened and anxious, opened his mouth. “You…” His voice had not yet fallen off when his whole body suddenly went stiff in an instant.
He blankly lowered his head to take a look, but looking under his neck, astonishingly there was a lengthy and brilliant sword blade, as well as a river of blood gurgling out. He was suddenly aware that the nape of his neck had become ice-cold…
“Indeed, the sword tip already passed through my throat?” Meng Wuzhen blankly thought.
Was he really mistaken?
Meng Wuzhen’s complexion instantly turned a deathly grey color. His whole person was softly suspended on the blade of Ye Xiao’s sword, and he lost his breath, breathing his last.
At the same time, a white smoke rose out of the top of Meng Wuzhen’s head. Astonishingly, it was a shrunken version of Meng Wuzhen’s figure. Looking at Ye Xiao’s expression, his whole being was afraid, and his eyes looked like he wanted to fade into the wind and leave.
