NOVEL NEXT Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Lu Yunzhou: "I ask you two to kneel."
Time passed quickly, and three days had already gone by.
In the end, under the desperate pleading of Qian Renxue, Lu Yunzhou decided to spare her life.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a poor girl."
As she watched Lu Yunzhou's back, her teeth clenched, and in that moment, Qian Renxue swore a silent vow in her heart.
Originally, Lu Yunzhou had planned to go to the Star Dou Forest to capture the Blue Silver Emperor and return on the same day. Unfortunately, because of Qian Renxue's interference, they had delayed for three whole days. This delay now forced Lu Yunzhou to rushed back and quickly return to Heaven Dou City.
Meanwhile, in the majestic palace of the Heaven Dou Empire:
"Sixth Brother, what exactly is going on? We've been here for three days, and yet the Xue Ye Emperor still refuses to meet us? What's the deal with this?"
Elder Lieyang of the Clear Sky Clan, the seventh elder, asked in confusion.
Three days of requesting an audience with the Xue Ye Emperor had led to no response except for two words: "Not meeting."
This had left Elder Lieyang and the others feeling frustrated.
The Sixth Elder, his lips curling into a subtle smile, gave a confident reply: "Seventh Brother, has it been too long for you to remember Second Brother's advice?"
"Didn't Second Brother say?"
"The Snow Night Emperor wants face! Nothing more, nothing less!"
"Because of that, we had to suffer a little. It's to give him face and allow him to gain some prestige. Don't rush. When he's had enough time to save face, that's when we can meet him."
With this answer, Elder Lieyang's confusion cleared, and he nodded thoughtfully.
As the seventh elder began to regain his composure, another pressing question emerged in his mind. Without hesitation, he asked, "Then Sixth Brother, how long do you think it will take for that old man, the Xue Ye Emperor, to meet us? We can wait a day or two, even three or four days, but if it's ten days or half a month, I can't stand that!"
Elder Six, who exuded an air of calm control, quickly responded: "It won't take long. If we're lucky, it could be today."
"As the saying goes, 'A thing doesn't go on forever.' So, if it's fast, it'll be today. If it drags on, we can't say for sure."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lieyang couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of hope.
Just as the two elders were about to enjoy a meal and savor the local delicacies of Heaven Dou City, a voice suddenly called out, echoing through the palace: "Elder Lieyang and Elder Seventh of the Clear Sky Clan, please enter the palace!"
With this announcement, the Seventh Elder frowned, clearly displeased. He grumbled, "That damn Xue Ye, why does he choose to summon us now? Why not earlier or later? Does he not need to eat? Really! If he doesn't eat, I'll eat!"
As he spoke, a disgruntled expression appeared on his face.
"Man is iron, food is steel. Missing one meal, and you're starving!"
Hearing this, the Sixth Elder responded while reminding his companion, "Seventh Brother, remember where we are. This is the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, not our Clear Sky Clan. Be careful, there might be ears listening through the walls."
The Seventh Elder, now understanding the situation, nodded in acknowledgment. "Got it, Sixth Brother. I'll be careful."
"Good," the Sixth Elder replied. "Let's go. We can't keep the Xue Ye Emperor waiting too long. Otherwise, he'll lose face."
As the two elders made their way to the palace, they were unaware of the unexpected events that awaited them.
Meanwhile, back in the Heaven Dou Palace, Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue returned with Ah Yin, only to learn that the Sixth and Seventh Elders of the Clear Sky Clan had arrived to "pay a visit."
Therefore, Lu Yunzhou immediately commanded the Xue Ye Emperor to summon the Clear Sky Clan's elders to the palace, where he would deal with them swiftly.
The two elders of the Clear Sky Clan had no idea what kind of fate awaited them.
Soon, a voice rang out at the palace gate: "The Sixth and Seventh Elders of the Clear Sky Clan request an audience with His Majesty!"
After hearing this, Lu Yunzhou directed the Xue Ye Emperor to respond, "Let them in."
Moments later, two tall, imposing figures stepped into the palace—the Sixth and Seventh Elders of the Clear Sky Clan.
"Seventh Elder Tang Lieyang and Sixth Elder Tang Hanyun greet His Majesty. May His Majesty live long and in peace! The Clear Sky Clan offers its respects!"
From the shadows, Qian Renxue observed the two elders and, with a hint of displeasure, muttered, "What a pity. The Clear Sky Clan only sent two people. It would have been better if they'd sent more. At least it would have been quicker to deal with them."
Lu Yunzhou responded, "Two is enough. After all, both are Titled Douluo-level powerhouses."
After speaking, Lu Yunzhou, or rather the Xue Ye Emperor, gave the command, "These two esteemed guests have traveled far to visit. I apologize for the poor reception. Please forgive me. Now, I ask you two… kneel and speak."
Once the words were spoken, the Sixth Elder, initially smiling, instinctively responded, "Since that's the case, I must thank His Majesty. However, I…"
Before he could finish, the Sixth Elder realized something was wrong. Kneel? Kneel? Was he being asked to kneel, even as a Titled Douluo?
After thinking it over several times in disbelief, the Sixth Elder's astonished gaze shifted to the Seventh Elder, silently asking if he had heard the same thing.
Before the Seventh Elder could respond, the Xue Ye Emperor spoke again, his tone firm: "Didn't you hear me clearly? Kneel, both of you!"
With a sharp motion, the Xue Ye Emperor raised his hand and slammed it onto the table before him, his voice growing colder. "Seize these two Clear Sky Clan traitors, who have conspired to kill me!"
After the words of the Xue Ye Emperor fell,
A series of squads, already prepared, swiftly moved into action, flooding out from both inside and outside the palace gates.
In the blink of an eye,
The six or seven elders of the Clear Sky Sect realized with shock and disbelief—
They had been ambushed!
