Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

On the star-catching stage, the atmosphere instantly solidified.

Everyone looked at Emperor Chu eagerly, waiting for his next words.

Under the attention of everyone, Emperor Chu said slowly and deeply: "The main reason why we are summoned here this time is to discuss how to deal with the issue of the Northern Territory."

"Persecution from the Northern Territory is approaching, and there is already the momentum to start a war with the Eastern Territory."

"The Eastern Territory's blind tolerance and sue for peace did not win the recognition of the Northern Territory, but instead allowed them to push further."

"The Zhaoxing Division's spies in the Northern Territory have found out that they expect to use troops against the Northern Territory within the next five years."

"The abduction of the Holy Son of the Eastern Region outside the imperial capital this time is just the beginning of the process."

Emperor Chu said in a low voice.

All the warriors in the room waited with bated breath and did not interrupt.

Many saints, including Lin Bai, also listened quietly.

Above the clouds and under the stars, only the rich and gloomy voice of Emperor Chu echoed.

"Everyone knows very well that the Chu State has never been wary. Only because of the approaching pressure from the Northern Territory, the Chu State has to make some preparations for war!"

Emperor Chu's words were very reserved. He did not state that Chu wanted to go to war with the Northern Territory.

It was just emphasized that the Northern Territory "forced the Japanese to advance" and the Chu State had to rise up to resist.

If word spreads, outside warriors will also think that the warriors from the Northern Territory provoked the first provocation, and the Chu State had no choice but to send troops to suppress it.

Isn’t Chu not willing to fight?

indeed so.

This sentence is true.

Not only is Chu State not warlike, but even the sixteen most powerful forces in the Demon Realm are actually not warlike.

They have become the most powerful existence in the demon world. If they still want to start a war, there are only two kinds of war.

The first type of war is a war to expand territory.

For example, in the Eastern Region, the Seven Nights Sect is facing internal strife. If the Chu State is warlike, they can join forces with Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect here to annex the territory of the Seven Nights Sect.

The second type of war is the boundary war.

For example, it is the war with the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory.

Just like the current war in which the Northern Territory wants to invade the Eastern Territory and the Eastern Territory has no choice but to resist.

Only these two kinds of wars could endanger the status of Chu State.

In addition, the small fights within the territory and the turmoil in various major states were not enough to shake the prestige of Chu State.

Chu State is naturally not warlike.

Because he is already one of the most powerful masters in this world.

"Easier said than done!"

The leader of the Silver Moon Sect in the Qitian Sect's territory said gloomily: "Your Majesty, Emperor Chu, everything you have said so far, whether it is about the Holy Son being kidnapped or the Northern Territory's intention to invade the Eastern Territory, Whatever."

"These are just your words."

"The evidence you produced is important, but it doesn't seem that important."

"The Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory have a long-standing feud. With the power of the Chu State, it is easy to get some evidence, but this is not enough to be a reason to launch a war."

idiot!

idiot!

After the Silver Moon Sect leader finished these words, many of the sect leaders present sneered in their hearts.

Even Lin Bai couldn't help laughing out loud when he was drinking from a wine glass.

He turned his head and glanced at the leader of the Silver Moon Sect. He was tall and thick, tall and strong, with a full beard. He didn't look too smart.

Don’t the sect leaders present know that the evidence presented by Emperor Chu does not have much substantive effect?

Everybody knows.

But no one tried to expose it.

Because they all know that if they want to start a war, they must be famous.

Let the warriors all over the world be convinced.

At least the warriors from the Eastern Region must be convinced.

As long as the reason can convince the warriors of the Eastern Region, it doesn't matter what the evidence is.

When Emperor Chu heard this, his expression did not change much. He still kept a smile on his face and asked: "Master of the Silver Moon Sect, what do you want to say?"

The leader of the Silver Moon Sect ignored the gazes of others and said directly: "The North Territory wants to invade the East Territory. We have not seen substantial progress yet, but our kidnapped Holy Son has actually been kidnapped. Taken away."

"I think... His Majesty Emperor Chu, instead of thinking about starting a war with the Northern Territory first, it is better to think of a way to save our Holy Son first."

"This is the most important thing!"

The leader of the Silver Moon Sect finally explained his position.

He believed that starting a war with the Northern Territory was not a wise decision, so he had to rescue the Holy Son first.

"Yes, His Majesty Emperor Chu!"

"The demands of the leader of the Silver Moon Sect are also our demands."

"The Holy Children should be rescued first."

"Since His Majesty Chu Emperor already knows that the Holy Son is in the hands of Beiyu, can His Majesty Chu Emperor find a way to rescue them?"

Many sect leaders present spoke one after another, begging the Chu State to rescue the Holy Son first, and then start a war with the Northern Territory.

Although Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain can use their hegemony to make the top sects surrender, after all, if there is a chance, they will naturally want to rescue the Holy Son first.

Emperor Chu said: "The kidnapped Holy Son will most likely be imprisoned in the Lian Shen Sect, the most prosperous sect in the Northern Territory."

"This emperor has sent spies from the Zhaoxing Division to get close to them, and is also trying to find ways to rescue them."

"But it is impossible to save them just by relying on the power of Zhao Xingsi and Chu State."

"At the same time... not only the Chu Kingdom, but also any prosperous sect in the Demon Realm cannot have the ability to single-handedly rescue the Holy Sons from the Lian Shen Sect."

"This is also one of the reasons why this emperor proposed a war with the Northern Territory!"

Emperor Chu stared at the leader of the Silver Moon Sect and said firmly: "Only if the Northern Territory is frightened will they be willing to release the Holy Son."

The leader of the Silver Moon Sect immediately asked: "Then has His Majesty the Emperor Chu ever thought about negotiating terms with Beiyu? Promise Beiyu some sufficient benefits and let Beiyu return the Holy Son first!"

Emperor Chu sneered and asked, "What kind of benefits are they?"

"Ceding the territory in exchange for the Holy Son?"

When Emperor Chu talked about this topic, Lin Bai clearly felt the sharpness and coldness in Emperor Chu's words.

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for Chu State to cede territory.

The leader of the Silver Moon Sect also heard Emperor Chu's displeasure. He swallowed the words on his lips and said, "If necessary, this is a good choice."

"Haha." Emperor Chu laughed when he heard this and said, "Okay, I promise to cede territory, but it is not the territory of Chu State."

"If you want to negotiate with Beiyu and exchange territory for the Holy Son, you can go to Beiyu and negotiate on your own."

"Ceding away the territory owned by your sect and family, as well as the precious resources on the territory, maybe the Northern Territory is really willing to return your Holy Son."

After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he paused and said to the leader of the Silver Moon Sect: "I remember that in the territory of the Qitian Sect, on the territory of the Silver Moon Sect, there was a territory called 'Ten Thousand Grasses and Thousand States', in which several species of grass grew. There is no clear panacea, or even an eternal king of medicine?"

"If the Silver Moon Sect is willing to cede Wancao Qianzhou, maybe the Northern Territory will really return the Holy Son of the Silver Moon Sect."

Uh... When the leader of the Silver Moon Sect heard this, he was immediately speechless.
