Both sides were in a stalemate. Tuoba Qin's sword shadow was still locked onto the five of them. With a wave of his hand, Yuan Zhi and the other four would die on the spot!
Whether King Tuoba and Ying Yuan would shed all pretenses of cordiality or pretend to reconcile, it all depended on Ying Yuan's reaction.
Seeing that Ying Yuan was still hesitating, Yuan Zhi could tell that Ying Yuan was about to give up on them. He immediately transmitted his voice to Ying Yuan, "Prince Ying Yuan, we really didn't take away the corpse. This is a matter of life and death. I'm not lying.
As long as you protect us, we're willing to swear a blood oath to serve you with our lives. We'll do anything for you! "
Ying Yuan was moved by Yuan Zhi's words. The blood oath was a very powerful restriction among the Devil Cultivators. Once the blood oath was made, the cultivator would lose all his power if he broke the oath. If he was careless, he might even die from the backlash of the Devil Cultivators!
Since Yuan Zhi was willing to swear a blood oath, Ying Yuan didn't think that they had to lie. He said in a deep voice, "King Tuoba, I think there are still many things worth investigating. Why don't we detain them first? It won't be too late to talk after we find out the truth."
"Prince Ying Yuan, are you determined to protect them?"
This time, King Tuoba was not angry at all. Instead, he said this very calmly.
Although his tone was very calm, it also expressed his attitude!
A few hours ago, he was still serving Ying Yuan. He was just short of serving Ying Yuan tea. His reaction now was equivalent to telling Ying Yuan that he wasn't going to serve Ying Yuan anymore!
Ying Yuan was getting a little impulsive. He thought to himself, "The Tuoba Kingdom isn't even as powerful as the Starfall Dynasty. How dare they put on airs in front of me!
That's good too. This way, this consort won't be marrying that whatever princess. It can be considered as having achieved my goal. "
At least he was a shrewd person. Of course, he couldn't say these words out loud. He shouted at Tuoba Qin arrogantly, "Put away your sword and let them come."
Veins popped out on Tuoba Qin's hands. He almost couldn't control himself. He looked at King Tuoba tentatively, hoping that King Tuoba would say something.
He transmitted his voice, "Your Majesty, this is the Tuoba Kingdom, the royal tomb!
If we let them leave just like that, how can we face our ancestors?
Also, the Patriarch's corpse had not been recovered, and the princess's poison had not been cured. Was he going to let it go just like that?
According to this subject's idea, we should kill four of them and leave the last one alive. Let's see if he will confess or not. This subject is willing to bear all the blame!
Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I can't let the Tuoba Kingdom be humiliated! "
King Tuoba's cultivation was not strong. He was only in the Spiritual Pulse Realm, and this was achieved through the use of elixirs. He could not condense his voice into a thread, so he shook his head slightly.
He could ignore Ying Yuan, but if he really killed Yuan Zhi and the others, then he would completely fall out with Ying Yuan.
No matter how much the Tuoba Kingdom needed the Starfall Dynasty's support, he did not have the confidence to offend the Starfall Dynasty.
Tuoba Qin sighed in his heart. In fact, he had already guessed that this would be the outcome. After all, the Tuoba Country was weak. Weakness was the original sin!
He was already prepared to stop, but one of the Demonic Cultivators knew that he had been saved. He had experienced the terror of life and death in a short period of time, and now he was a little arrogant.
He sneered, "Your name is Tuoba Qin?
Aren't you very powerful and arrogant?
I'm standing right here now. Come and kill me!
If you don't kill me, when you die in the future, I will definitely dig out your corpse and refine it into a refined corpse. I will enslave you for the rest of your life! "
"Ah!!"
How could Tuoba Qin endure such words? His heart was already filled with boundless anger. After being provoked by that person's words, he could no longer hold it back.
He suddenly swung his heavy sword down, and the sword shadow that stood between heaven and earth slashed down at the same time. The violent sword intent and terrifying spiritual highland exploded, and even the night sky seemed to be twisting!
Half of the Royal City was enveloped by the sword intent. Many ordinary people instantly felt a piercing pain all over their body, and they were rolling on the ground in pain.
The five Demonic Cultivators that were targeted by him felt as if they were in a sword prison. The Qi and blood in their bodies were sealed by the invisible sword intent, and they had no ability to resist at all!
Tuoba Qin's sudden attack shocked everyone. The furious Unity of Heaven and Man Realm was too terrifying. Even if Tuoba Hui wanted to save them, it was too late.
"Stop!"
"Don't you dare!"
Ying Yuan and King Tuoba shouted at the same time. Neither of them wanted Yuan Zhi and the others to die. Needless to say, Ying Yuan didn't need to say much. If they died, Ying Yuan wouldn't have any capable experts under him.
If Yuan Zhi and the others were to die here, the Tuoba Kingdom would turn against Crown Prince Ying Yuan. That would be tantamount to falling out with the Starfall Dynasty.
This would only bring harm to Tuoba Kingdom and no benefits!
However, Tuoba Qin had already made his move. Even if he recovered from the shock and withdrew most of the sword intent, the remaining power was enough to instantly kill four Demonic Cultivators!
Only Yuan Zhi was left. Because his cultivation was the highest and he had a strong trump card, he barely managed to survive.
He didn't dare to stay here for a moment longer. Even if Ying Yuan was here, Tuoba Qin still dared to make his move. Since he had already killed them, he didn't mind killing one more. He immediately ignited all the Qi and blood in his body and frantically fled out of the city!
Ying Yuan was also furious. His character was originally a little impulsive. At this moment, he didn't care anymore. He roared, "Good, good Tuoba Kingdom!
You dare to kill my men. Now that you're all mighty, I'd like to see how you're going to withstand the wrath of the Starfall Dynasty in the future! "
After he finished speaking, he left with his men and left Tuoba Kingdom with the diplomatic group in the middle of the night.
King Tuoba looked at the corpses of the four Demonic Cultivators and was stunned for a moment. He was already in despair!
He could already foresee that it wouldn't be long before the Starfall Dynasty cut off all trade routes with Tuoba Kingdom. If the situation was serious, they might even send their troops to take over a portion of the cities!
If this continued, the Starfall Dynasty wouldn't even need to make a move. The other countries in the Western Region would attack Tuoba Kingdom.
"It's dangerous, it's dangerous."
King Tuoba mumbled. Looking at his expression, he seemed to have aged a few years in just a few breaths.
Tuoba Qin walked up to him and knelt down. He said, "Your Majesty, this is my fault. I'll go look for Ying Yuan tomorrow. At most, I'll compensate him with my life."
King Tuoba waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it. You've already come to this point. If you go, you'll just be throwing your life away. Pass down my order. Tell all the borders to pull back their defensive lines and be ready for war at any time!"
In just one night, Tuoba Kingdom, which had always been on good terms with the Starfall Dynasty and flattered them, was about to turn against them!
The initiator of all this was no longer in this world.
Leng Shiqi was currently entangled with the strange corpse in the Mansion of the Dead.
