I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

All the dark clouds gradually dissipated.

All the thick fog gradually dissipated!

For a moment, I don’t know how many telescopes were looking at Duke Xia Yan’s army.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Shen family also stood on tiptoe and looked.

The imperial officials in the Marquis of Zhenhai’s mansion also came to the highest point and picked up the telescope to look.

Everyone had only one suspense in their hearts.

How many people will die in the emperor’s army?

50,000? 80,000? Or 100,000?

Even if only 30,000 or 50,000 died, it would be a fatal blow to His Majesty the Emperor.

Once so many people died, the morale of Duke Xia Yan’s army of more than 200,000 people almost collapsed directly.

Not to mention that he had a total of more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops under his command.

Everyone was waiting for a scene.

The corpses were everywhere.

But...

More than an hour later.

When the fog completely dissipated, everyone saw it clearly.

Duke Xia Yan’s 270,000 troops were completely safe and sound.

And in order to let everyone see clearly.

All 270,000 soldiers left the camp and lined up outside in neat rows.

Twenty-seven square formations stretched for more than ten miles.

Murderous and powerful!

Covering the sky and the earth, birds could hardly fly across!

During the performance of the Heavenly Punishment Technique just now, there might have been infinite fear, infinite screams, and infinite panic.

Even if Duke Xia Yan ordered all the soldiers to close their eyes, plug their ears, and stay in the camp without taking a step out.

Even if all the horses were blindfolded and covered their ears.

But there was still chaos, and many soldiers were even scared to pee.

But...

What they experienced was completely different from what they saw outside.

To people outside, it was completely like the end of the world.

Hundreds of lightning bolts struck madly within an area of ​​dozens of miles.

An attack that destroyed the world.

But to these soldiers and horses, nothing happened.

It just felt very dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.

And it was very noisy, but not the kind that destroyed the world.

Because everyone's ears were plugged, cotton cloth wrapped with soil, stuffed deep into the ears.

Wait until everything is over.

The whole army assembled.

So throughout the process, although they suffered tremendous pressure and fear, in fact, the 270,000 troops did not even know what was happening.

It is really: just because you are in this mountain.

………………………………………………………………

But everyone was completely stunned when they saw this scene!

It was totally unbelievable.

This… this… how is this possible?

There were no casualties at all in this devastating attack just now?

What about the imagined corpses everywhere?

What about the imagined countless casualties?

Duke Xia Yan's 270,000 troops were not only safe and sound, but also arranged so neatly, with a fighting spirit soaring to the sky!

Then, Duke Xia Yan led 270,000 troops to the direction of the emperor, knelt down in an orderly manner and said: "Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"

The 270,000 troops shouted in unison: "Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound resounded throughout the sky, deafening.

Instant!

The momentum completely overwhelmed the Mi Army and the Sky Book City Army, and they were also completely stunned.

How could this be possible?

How could this heaven-destroying and earth-shattering Heaven Punishment just now not have even a little casualties?

How powerful is our Sky Book City Heaven Punishment? It should be heaven-destroying and earth-shattering, right?

Is it just a flower stand?

Is it all a lie?

Otherwise, how could Duke Xia Yan's army have no casualties at all?

Whether it is the Mi Army or the Sky Book City Army, they are a little skeptical about life.

The Heaven Punishment Art, which was exaggerated to be extremely powerful, is completely a divine art.

And now it is useless?

At least at this moment, the myth of Sky Book City felt somewhat disillusioned.

Morale suddenly plummeted!

……………………………………

On the Tongtian Pavilion side, from the head of Sky Book City to all the elders, all were silent.

Why is this happening? !

How is this possible?

Why didn't this devastating Heavenly Punishment cause even a little casualty?

In fact, they didn't know that there were still casualties, but they were very small.

How was that done?

Of course it was lightning rods.

When dark clouds and thick fog enveloped the entire army camp, thousands of tall lightning rods were erected to pour these terrifying currents completely into the ground.

All the soldiers stayed in the tents, and the ground was covered with insulating materials.

Some were fur, some were tarpaulin, and so on.

In short, make sure that every soldier can step on an insulator.

After the Heavenly Punishment ended, the dark clouds and thick fog took more than an hour to dissipate.

There was enough time to put away all the lightning rods.

At that time, I was horrified to find that such a thick lightning rod was actually burned and twisted.

It can be seen how amazing the power of these lightning is?

If there were no such precautions, I don’t know how many casualties there would be.

Because all the tents were soaked by the heavy rain.

At this time, the entire Tongtian Tower.

There was only the sound of heartbeats and rapid breathing.

Almost the biggest card was played, but it had no effect.

Not only did it fail to massacre the emperor’s army, but it directly shattered the myth of the Tianzhu technique.

Look at the Sky Book City Legion and the Secret Chamber Legion. After they were frightened, everyone looked towards Tongten Pavilion.

They want an explanation.

Use binoculars to look at every soldier's eyes?

The eyes and expressions of these soldiers were full of doubt and loss.

Morale was low and there was a brief sense of disillusionment.

The first master of Sky Book City fell into complete silence.

Like a sculpture, completely motionless.

There were dozens of people present, but no one said a word first.

……………………………………………………

And this time!

In the castle of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, Ying Que did not show the joy of victory.

He should be happy.

Because he had predicted the scene of the enemy's execution of the Heavenly Punishment very early on, he had made preparations early.

Even Sky Book City was forced to perform the Heavenly Punishment Technique by him.

He should be proud, he should feel joy.

But he didn't.

When the old Prince Lian saw that Duke Xia Yan's army was safe and sound, he jumped up with excitement.

What a huge victory is this?

But Ying Que's expression turned serious.

"I need to see His Majesty the Emperor."

………………………………

Inside the emperor's room.

Ying Que said: "Your Majesty, at this time, I should be proud, proud, and happy. Because with our joint efforts and our strategizing, we have been winning this great struggle. Now, it will be even more... The big name of Sky Bookstore was forced to play out in advance, and the myth of Tianzhu was disillusioned. "

"We should be only one step away from the final victory."

"But now, I am hesitant."

The emperor said: "You say."

Ying Que said: "The Mi Legion and the Sky Book City Legion should be at a low morale moment now. This is because the magic in their minds has been temporarily disillusioned."

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

Ying Que said: "So, this is also the moment when the Sky Book City negotiating team is at its weakest, and it is also the moment when they are most likely to compromise and seek peace."

"Yeah!" The emperor continued to nod.

Ying Que said: "Logically speaking, we should not provoke the Sky Book City negotiation team at this time, nor should we provoke the Sky Book City Legion, otherwise it may be counterproductive. At this time, it will be very, very dangerous to provoke them again."

"We must admit that the military strength in Zhenhai City Sky Bookstore at this time far exceeds ours. They just can't go to war, and they don't want to go to war."

"Once we prod them again, we could really push them to the point of no where to go and end up going to war."

The emperor flipped through the book in his hand, nodded and said, "You continue."

Ying Que said: "According to the original plan, after the Tian Zhu Technique was used in Sky Book City but had no effect, and the myth was disillusioned, I will immediately launch a new round of fatal attacks on them and carry out a new massacre on them."

Then, he took out a map and said: "This is the location of the Mi family's legion. Originally, there were only 86,000 left. Later, Mi Daoyuan came to support another 30,000, for a total of 116,000."

"I buried 19 super bombs and 13,000 kilograms of explosives underground at the Mi Legion's location in advance."

"And now the formation of the Mi Legion is very dense. Once detonated, it can cause fatal damage."

"The most important thing is that we are very lucky. The weapons depot of the Mi Legion is within the explosion range."

"According to the original plan, it should have detonated now. But after everything actually happened, I felt that the whole mood was wrong."

The emperor said: "Are you worried that it will be counterproductive and that once it detonates, it will directly lead to war?"

Ying Que said: "Yes! And I'm even more worried that after forcing the enemy to a dead end, they will take desperate measures and directly use spar bombs to attack the Marquis's Mansion in Zhenhai."

The emperor said: "So, now is the moment closest to victory, and also the most dangerous moment?"

Ying Que said: "That's right."

Right now!

Prince Lian's voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, Elder Leng Wuqian came here secretly and said he wanted to have a secret talk with Princess Liyang and Young Master Yingque."

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Let's talk first! Blow up when it's time to blow up."

Ying Que said: "In case, the opponent really starts to slay the dragon. So please, Your Majesty, move to the underground fortress."

The emperor said: "Okay!"

……………………………………………………

Next up!

Ying Que took the emperor, Mu Hongyu, Mi Yuyi, Nangong Rou, and several children, and all evacuated to the underground fortress of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenhai.

The emperor alone stayed in the deepest, strongest, and safest fortress.

After entering this underground fortress.

His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and gently stroked the wall here.

"Your Majesty, these boxes contain oxygen bottles. If there is a huge accident, the oxygen in them is enough to support you for more than a month."

"There is also fresh water here and enough food."

The emperor nodded.

At the same time, more than six master-level experts came outside the gate.

"Your Majesty, then I'm going to negotiate with Sky Book City."

Then, Yingque used his strength to slowly close the door of this underground super fortress.

The door, which is more than a foot thick, can withstand even a super crystal bomb bombardment.

that's all.

The emperor was alone in this super underground fortress.

Outside, six powerful masters closed their eyes and sat on the ground to protect the emperor.

………………………………

In the study room!

Ying Que, Princess Liyang, and Leng Wuqian were the three of them.

The real negotiations began.

Now that both sides have almost played all their cards, the real negotiations can begin.

The previous grand negotiations with great fanfare, splendor and hundreds of people present were only superficial.

The real core negotiation must be completed by a few people in a private setting.

"First item, we are willing to release 6,000 wounded prisoners of the Shen Gong family and not do anything to them. In exchange, you will also release 1,000 Silver Guard prisoners and not to do anything to them. ." Elder Leng Wuxian said.

Before, they had been saying that even if they wanted to make this exchange, they could never offer it.

Whoever takes the initiative is the weak one.

But now... there is no other way.

Taking the initiative to bring it up is a good way to attract others.

When all hegemons are justified, they must be forced to the point where they have absolutely no choice.

Princess Liyang said: "Okay, we agree to exchange prisoners from both sides!"

Elder Leng Wuqian said: "I am very happy that we have reached a consensus on the first item so quickly. This means that our subsequent negotiations will also go very smoothly."

"The second item, Ying Que can live, but he must give us a substitute. Aren't you good at painting? This shouldn't be a problem for you at all. Hand over a flawless substitute and let us publicly execute him."

"The third item, the Shen Gong family must also hand over 300 people for us to kill!"

"The fourth item is that there is a dark realm in the White Bone Territory and a secret base of the Dark Academy. This is absolutely not allowed by Sky Book City, so it must be handed over. The White Bone Territory must be handed over to Sky Book City. In exchange, other territories of the Shen Gong family Except for Zhenhai City, I can give it to you, because Zhenhai City was originally lent to you by King Mi."

"The fifth item is that the emperor must submit a guilty edict to Sky Book City, and in exchange, we can allow the troops of the Kingdom of Dali to withdraw and completely withdraw from the empire's territory."

As soon as these five conditions came out, both Princess Li Yang and Ying Que became silent.

Because it's extremely rude.

Yingque said slowly: "Elder Leng Wuqian, do you know? I was originally very optimistic about this negotiation, because I strategized and I thought I could win to the end. But now I am pessimistic, I am very pessimistic. ”

"Your conditions make me confused. I don't even know if you are talking like a lion or if you really think so."

"We don't even want to pay back your conditions."

Previously, in a large negotiation with hundreds of people in the hall of the Marquis Mansion, Ying Que spoke fiercely, was extremely sarcastic, and made numerous cruel remarks.

But in the real negotiation between these three people, Ying Que's attitude was very gentle, even sincere.

"My psychological price for an item is only one gold coin, but the other party offered me 10,000 gold coins. This price makes it impossible for me to bargain." Ying Que said: "Elder Leng Wuqing, I am very pessimistic about our future."

Elder Leng Wuqian said: "Yes, I am also very pessimistic."

"But Princess Liyang and Your Excellency Yingque, please put yourself in our shoes and think about it. This is our final concession. We all came with a mission. If these conditions cannot be met, we will return to Sky Book City There is no way to explain to the Holy Lord, nor to the Presbyterian Church, and our future is over.”

"It's really not that I'm asking for a high price, but that we really have no room for compromise. With these five conditions, there is no room for concessions."

Ying Que said: "Are you sure?"

Leng Wuxian said: "I'm sure."

Ying Que said: "Then let's do it."

Leng Wuxian said: "Are you really unable to agree? In fact, your demands have been completely satisfied. Ying Que, you are still alive, and the backbone of the Shen Gong family can also be alive. It's just that you have changed your identity, or even the big brother Part of the Shen Gong family's territory will still be retained. You can retreat to Magic Stone City."

"Master Yingque, this is already the biggest concession for Sky Book City. You are the son of the leader of the Dark Academy. How many of us have you killed by using the Dark Realm? Even so, we still let you live. Isn't this enough? "

"These conditions are a huge victory for you."

"These conditions are unprecedented concessions for our Sky Bookstore."

"Of course, if you feel that I have been too rude to you before, if you want to be greatly satisfied with your dignity, that is absolutely fine."

Then, Elder Leng Wuqian slowly knelt down towards Ying Que and Princess Li Yang.

"I am very sorry for the offense I caused to Mr. Yingque before, and I am willing to apologize to you."

Then, Elder Leng Wuqian bowed deeply.

Ying Que and Princess Li Yang were not at all proud, but their scalps were numb.

Waves of creepiness.

At this time, it really becomes more humble, more decisive, and more terrifying.

"Master Yingque, the five conditions I mentioned just now may sound very harsh to you. But there is really no room for concession. If we give in even half a step, the future of our entire delegation will be over."

"Including the first sect of Sky Book City, there is a high probability that he will be severely punished by the Holy Lord and the Council of Elders, and there is a high probability that he will lose his current position."

"So please consider it very seriously and report it to His Majesty the Emperor, okay?"

"As long as you agree to these five conditions, you can also mention additional conditions, such as which person you want to die."

"For another example, if you want to get Ning Piaoli, etc., you can raise all these additional conditions. As long as you agree to the five conditions I just mentioned."

Yingque shook his head and said, "Elder Leng, it's really not possible."

Leng Wuxian's face turned gloomy and he said hoarsely: "Put aside all the power and all the games, is it really not possible? Is there really no possibility at all?"

Ying Que shook his head.

Elder Leng Wuqian stood up slowly and said, "I understand."

Then he walked out, stooped.

…………………………

There were only two people left in the study, Ying Que and Princess Li Yang.

For a full quarter of an hour, there was silence.

Then……

Princess Liyang said slowly: "In the end, will we have no choice but to start a war? In the end, will the entire eastern world still be torn apart and destroyed?"

Winning fell into silence.

Princess Li Yang asked: "Ying Que, is there any last glimmer of hope?!"

Ying Que looked at Princess Liyang's enchanting face and said, "Your Highness, aren't you prepared for the worst? Aren't you prepared for the ultimate civil war?"

Princess Liyang said: "I thought I was ready, but until now, I realized that I was really not ready for a major civil war. Of course, it's not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but... things have changed."

Ying Que asked: "What change?"

Then, Princess Liyang released all her spiritual power.

Yingque also released all his mental power to ensure that what he said next would not be heard by a third person.

Princess Liyang has been brewing for a long time.

Even she was having her last thoughts, her last hesitations, her last struggles.

Then, she said slowly: "What I'm going to tell you next is top secret, even the most top secret in the world."

"No one in the world knows."

"If I tell you, you'll be the second to know."

Ying Que's mouth suddenly went dry, so he took the cup and took a sip.

Then, he said slowly: "If you have thought about it, then just say it."

Princess Liyang said: "Your Majesty, the same as you."

Ying Que suddenly trembled.

What's the same?

……………………………………………………

at the same time!

Within the deepest underground super fortress of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

The emperor stretched out his hand and touched the wall of the underground fortress.

Close your eyes, as if searching for memories.

Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he seemed to fall into some kind of memory, a very interesting, happy memory.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor came before a mirror.

Look at yourself inside.

Look at your own face.

He raised his head and turned his face sideways.

I looked at this face for a while.

at last……

He reached out his hand and gently fiddled with it on the top of his head.

then……

A little, a little...

He took off the skin from his face.

Little by little.

He took off all the skin from his body.

……………………………………………………

Note: This is the second update. This chapter has been conceived for a long time, so I wrote it late. I'm sorry!

Today's update is in case, the plot has also entered a very critical moment.

Dear benefactors, do you still have your monthly tickets? Please vote for me? Give me a little strength, okay?
