Ding Meng smiled and said, "Aren't you thinking too highly of me?"
Wen Yang said, "This is the result of compromise and balance. It's the most beneficial to both parties. At the same time, it's also a sign of my sincerity."
Ding Meng pondered and said, "I will consider your proposal, but I need you to answer a few questions before I agree."
Wen Yang said, "Please speak!"
Ding Meng said, "Where's your wife?"
Wen Yang's expression did not change. "She's here!"
Ding Meng said, "I'm not referring to this Second Miss Ji in front of you!"
Ji Chenyu's expression changed. "If I'm not the Chancellor's wife, then who is?"
Ji Chenxue walked up. "In my heart, there's only one true Chancellor's wife!"
These words were rather obvious. She was asking about Zhong Yalin, and Ji Chenxue's words basically represented Ding Meng's intentions.
Wen Yang said in a low voice, "She's very good!"
Ji Chenxue could not help but ask, "How good is she?"
Wen Yang's expression did not change. "As good as you think she is!"
Ji Chenxue said, "Wen Yang, for a commoner like you to be able to climb to the position of Chancellor of the Empire, the Chancellor's wife has given you a lot of support and effort. I can understand that Lin Fei's scandal cannot be leaked, but I just want to know the result."
Ji Chenyu laughed sinisterly. "Big Sister, don't worry. She won't reveal that scandal."
Ji Chenxue's expression darkened. "There's only one kind of person in the world who won't reveal secrets."
Ji Chenyu blinked and smiled. "So I solved this problem once and for all."
Ji Chenxue revealed a shocked expression. "In order to become the Head of State's wife, you would even lay your hands on pregnant women and children?"
Ji Chenyu smiled even more happily. "I learned this from you. When you became the president of Beidou, didn't you also get rid of many dissidents?"
Ji Chenxue gritted his teeth and said, "Among my dissidents, there will never be people who are weak, sick, or pregnant. Previously, I thought you were very foolish and naive."
Ji Chenyu said, "What about now?"
Ji Chenxue said angrily, "Now I think you really deserve to die!"
Before she could finish her words, she had already rushed over and struck out with her palm. Not only did she send out a large amount of ice energy, but three clones also appeared in the air. She had actually used the ultimate move, Solitary Lotus Steps, right from the start. It was obvious that she was furious.
Zhong Yalin had been on very good terms with her when she was alive, but she did not expect her to end up like this. The struggle for power was so cruel, but what she could not accept was that her own sister had actually committed such an atrocious act. At this moment, Ji Chenxue really wanted to kill her.
However, Ji Chenyu was very cunning. When she saw that Zhong Yue was coming at her fiercely, she quickly dodged towards the array and did not want to face her head-on. At this moment, the two groups of people from the Temple of God were already fighting.
Ding Meng did not stop Ji Chenxue. Instead, he asked coldly, "You were the one who laid hands on President Bai Xingfei, right?"
"It was me!" Long Yu took the initiative to speak.
Ding Meng asked in return, "Without his permission, would you dare lay hands on the President of the Federation?"
Long Yu was stunned by the question. The President might not be the strongest, but his status was there. If one dared to lay hands on someone of this status, one had to consider the consequences. Long Yu, you were just Guan Xinqing's bodyguard. What right did you have?
Perhaps even Guan Xinqing did not have the guts to do so.
Ding Meng said, "So there's no difference between you and the Head of State. This debt will be on the Head of State's head!"
Wen Yang's expression darkened. "The President is not an obstacle to our cooperation, is he?"
Ding Meng said, "Indeed not, but he is very different from you. He is respectable, but you are gradually walking towards destruction."
Wen Yang had no choice but to shut up.
Ding Meng raised his head and said, "I have one last question. Where's Han Yan?"
Wen Yang's expression softened. "I got separated from her on the way to the Black Handprint's headquarters."
Ding Meng said, "How did you get separated?"
Wen Yang said, "She left on her own. I don't know the reason!"
"Head of State, your answer is not very clever!" Nanxun, who had been silent in the distance, suddenly spoke.
Wen Yang frowned.
Nanxun said with a smile, "You were ambushed on the way and indeed got separated from Miss Han. But three years later, when Miss Han returned to the Empire, she found that everyone in the Han Family had disappeared. Why was that?"
Wen Yang still refused to answer.
Nanxun smiled. "Let me answer for you. At that time, Lin Fei had already been killed by you, and Ding Meng had been expelled from the Empire. Your marriage with Second Miss Ji was already on the agenda, so you secretly killed all the people and their family members who knew about the Hidden Front incident, including General Ross and the others. Therefore, your loyal subordinate, Han Yan, who had been following you for many years, was actually abandoned by you. Everyone thinks that the Head of State is working hard for the country, but in reality, he has already turned evil. He has become a ruthless person who will do anything to achieve his goals."
Long Yu suddenly said, "That's just your side of the story."
The woman in black who was traveling with Nanxun walked over. She took off her hood and circulated her Origin Energy, revealing her true appearance. This person was actually Han Yan.
Ding Meng smiled. "Old friend, it seems that your sincerity is just lip service. If your heart isn't sincere, then it won't work."
Wen Yang was finally shocked. "I didn't think that you would still be alive!"
"You always thought that I was dead?" Han Yan's tone no longer had the sweetness and adoration from before. Only endless coldness and killing intent remained.
Wen Yang said, "It seems that the Fifth Lord treats you well!"
Han Yan said, "But you don't treat me well. My parents, brothers, and servants are all gone. I heard that you were the one who personally signed the arrest warrant. When I heard this, even I couldn't believe it. When did you become so cold and heartless? You even want to kill people who aren't related to you!"
Wen Yang's expression didn't change at all. "Your brother was in cahoots with the Hidden Front and illegally transported live bodies, and your family secretly covered up for him. I was just following the law."
"Hahahahaha!" Han Yan threw her head back and roared with laughter. "That's the most ridiculous excuse I've ever heard. Following the law?
You're the leader of the Hidden Front, and you still have the face to say something like that? Why don't you just kill yourself? "
Wen Yang sighed. "Little Yan, there's something that you still don't understand. The weak are prey to the strong, and only the fittest survive!"
Han Yan's lips curled into a cold smile. "Fine, then let's see if the law of the jungle is true today!"
Then, she rushed out like lightning and attacked Wen Yang with her claws.
Wen Yang didn't move because Long Xing beside him had already pulled out his long sword and started to parry.
When the two of them started fighting, Ding Meng was a little surprised. When did Han Yan become so powerful?
Nanxun suddenly turned his head. "When did you find out?"
This meant that Ding Meng already knew that Han Yan was here. He deliberately asked these questions to expose Wen Yang's so-called "sincerity". Between the Divine Light warriors and the Devil Sky warriors, there was no real "sincerity" to speak of.
Ding Meng smiled. "Everyone's disguises are very good, and it's not easy to see their true faces. However, when we were on the island in the middle of the lake, I found that she had a habit. She seemed to like smelling things. Then I remembered that Han Yan told me that she was good at distinguishing the smell of different people. As long as she smelled something, she could immediately tell who it was."
Nanxun also smiled. "It was because of this skill of hers that I knew you were ahead of us."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "But I don't know, when did she walk together with you?"
Nanxun sighed. "Now is not the time to talk about this. I will tell you the reason when I have the chance. They can't hold on any longer."
Following her gaze, the internal strife of the Star Rainbow Corporation seemed to be coming to an end. Ling Xingqi was forced to retreat by Ling Tian and Ling Long again and again.
In fact, the battle between the two sides wasn't that intense. Neither side used their trump cards. The reason was there. Now that the situation was unclear, if they used their trump cards, even if they could kill the opponent, it would give the other forces a chance to take advantage of it.
Ling Xingqi's continuous attacks were all neutralized. At this moment, she couldn't care less. Suddenly, she threw out her saber. The saber flew into the air and instantly turned into a twenty meter long saber of light. This was the move she used during the Fengyun Great Assembly.
However, who knew that Ling Tian and Ling Long were extremely familiar with this move of hers. Both of them raised their palms at the same time, and a huge translucent Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Mirror appeared in front of them. Anyone with experience would be able to tell that this was no longer the realm of a shield, but an even more profound secret technique.
"Chi — — —"
As soon as the light blade entered the mirror image, the mirror image began to spin rapidly.
It was as if a layer of water was dissolving the saber with the technique of moving a thousand catties with four taels.
Sure enough, the size of the saber was gradually shrinking, but the pattern of the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams was becoming clearer and clearer.
"Be careful, Big Sister!" The Transit String had good taste and immediately reminded her.
"Whoosh!" The saber bounced back. At the same time, the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams spun like a wall and smashed over.
Ling Xingqi wasn't afraid. She reached out to grab the weapon and slashed at the mirror image.
"Boom!" An earth-shattering explosion sounded. The explosive energy formed a whirlpool that spread out in all directions in the temple. Everyone was shaken to the point that they couldn't hear their footsteps and quickly retreated.
"Thud — —"
The saber sank into the crystal floor, and the floor immediately lit up. However, Ling Xingqi was already kneeling on one knee with the saber in her hand.
Ling Xingqi felt as if there were thousands of insects crawling in her throat. It was extremely itchy. She couldn't take it anymore. She opened her mouth and spat out a large lump of blood. She hadn't recovered for long, and now she was heavily injured again.
Looking at Ling Tian and Ling Long, they were actually standing there unharmed. Both of them were expressionless. No one thought that the true experts of Star Rainbow would be so strong.
Zhu Bihua revealed a sinister smile, "Kill this vile spawn for me. Don't leave a soul behind!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold wind blew past, and a black shadow appeared in front of Ling Xingqi.
Zhu Bihua was stunned, "This is a family matter. What are you doing here?"
Lu Ting said in a low voice, "This is a family matter. Ling Xingqi is a rare talent of the Holy Grail Federation. Do you think you can just kill her like that?"
The Transit String said expressionlessly, "President Lu Ting, Zhu Bihua has committed a heinous crime. Can someone like her be directly convicted in the Federation?"
Lu Ting said, "Of course!"
The Transit String said, "Killing a criminal is everyone's responsibility. I think that as the president, you should set an example. Furthermore, this is for the good of the people. It will also increase your election reputation."
Hearing this, Zhu Bihua was furious, "Vile spawn!
You vile spawn! "
