For a moment, Su Luoheng stopped smiling and became as calm as ever.
"What your Majesty said is so good..."
"But... I'm afraid you made a mistake."
"This is not a persuasion to surrender, but an ultimatum."
"Ultimatum?"
Wei Lin felt something was wrong.
His performance was too calm, as calm as the calm before a rainstorm, which was depressing.
Soon, he heard Su Luoheng's voice.
"Five days later, the Sun and Moon Army will launch a full-scale attack."
"But... no matter whether Tianhun Emperor surrenders or not, I will take your life."
"You owe this life to Su Junran."
"Who are you?" Wei Lin stood up, his expression unpredictable.
Golden pupils stared straight at Su Luoheng. Although his appearance and clothing were different, they overlapped with the figure in his memory.
"My name is Su Luoheng." He paused, glanced around, and finally slowly uttered the last three words.
After saying that, the two turned and left.
"You still have five days."
When he walked out of the palace door, Su Luoheng's indifferent voice came, "Your Majesty, cherish the last five days. When Tianhun City is destroyed, you will lose your life."
"presumptuous!"
"I request an order to kill this beast!"
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of guards outside the palace who were loyal to the Tianhun royal family immediately drew their swords and surrounded Su Luoheng and the Snow Emperor in a semicircle in front of the palace hall with murderous intent.
Su Luoheng glanced at the people around him indifferently and continued to move forward.
The blade of the knife flashed with cold light and was pointed at the two of them.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Stand back and let them go!"
Wei Lin's sharp shout sounded.
No one can keep Su Luoheng, not even Lu Chengkun, not even these palace guards.
Su Luoheng's reputation has long spread throughout the continent, even Wei Lin who is far away in the Tianhun Empire is no exception.
【Eleven years old, soul master.】
[Soul fighting competition, kill the Soul Emperor Dai Yaoheng with one arrow.]
【Fourteen years old, Soul King.】
[In the exchange competition, all Shrek’s inner court geniuses were defeated.]
[Sixteen years old, Soul Saint.]
[Evil Forest, kill the Ultimate Douluo Long Xiaoyao.]
【……】
One by one, Su Luoheng has grown from a talented soul master who first appeared in the Soul Fighting Competition to the top powerhouse in the mainland, a existence that no force can ignore.
Even he, the leader of the Heavenly Soul Empire, had to treat him with caution.
Wei Lin thought about keeping Su Luoheng, but for what reason?
He should be lucky that Su Luoheng did not take action now, but moved the time to five days later. Because if Su Luoheng wanted to kill him, no one in the Tianhun Palace could stop him.
It's not too late to let him leave...
The guards looked hesitant, but soon they put away their weapons and retreated to the left and right to make way for Su Luoheng and Snow Emperor. They glared at the two.
Su Luoheng always looked as calm as water, as if these guards did not exist at all, and walked forward without stopping.
Snow Emperor followed him to the left and right, walking side by side.
"..."
Looking at the two people's leaving figures, the previous conversation appeared in Weilin's mind.
[Su Luoheng asked: Is Your Majesty really worthy of your guilt? 】
[He replied: I am worthy of anyone.]
【……】
[While Wei Lin was envious, he couldn't help but wonder why there has never been a genius like "Xu Tianyuan" in the Tianhun Empire? 】
[I don’t know why, when facing Su Luoheng, I always feel familiar with an old friend...]
Because Su Luoheng is the queen of our old friend!
That smile with unknown meaning at that time was laughing at my stupidity, right?
Yes, he was the one who personally forced Su Junran's family out of the Heavenly Soul Empire and made Su Luoheng fall into the arms of the Sun and Moon Empire. But now, in front of Su Luoheng, he lamented that the Sun and Moon Empire was full of talented people...
Haha, Weilin!
How stupid, how short-sighted, how...ridiculous are you?
if……
If he could accommodate Su Junran, give up the deal with White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, resist the pressure from the royal family and nobles, and keep Su Luoheng, would it be different?
Perhaps, the Tianhun Empire will have one of the youngest top powerhouses in the continent. A top powerhouse who is loyal to him instead of the royal family;
Perhaps, it is not Tianhun City that is besieged today, but Mingdu;
Maybe……
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
As the emperor of the Tianhun Empire, it has become his instinct and habit to measure the value and weigh the pros and cons when facing anyone and anything. Therefore, he chose the plan that maximized interests.
then--
He gave up Su Junran and exchanged the life of a titled Douluo for the royal family and nobles of the Heavenly Soul Empire to join him. The blood and killings were buried with him, leaving only a glorious and majestic side.
He gave up Su Luoheng and exchanged a "genius" soul master for the friendship of Duke White Tiger.
【……】
Just two lives can be exchanged for the stability and prosperity of the Tianhun Empire.
But he didn't expect that Su Luoheng's growth and talent would be so terrifying.
Do you regret it?
Maybe……
Wei Lin lowered his head slightly, and there was pain, annoyance, regret, and disappointment in his lowered eyes... But in the end, the complexity in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by coldness.
"Pass on my oral message——"
Wei Lin's cold voice echoed in the empty palace for a long time.
"..."
"Vest, the leader of the Tianhun Royal Knights, has gathered all the soul masters above the Soul King in Tianhun City to break out of the city early tonight and order all cities to send troops to relieve the siege of the Tianhun Imperial City!"
"Te Yue, deputy leader of the Tianhun Royal Knights, you are responsible for informing the two empires of Xingluo and Dou Ling."
"The last one is the Noumenon Sect... Mr. Lu, the most important position is left to you. You must ask Senior Noumenon Douluo to come out to solve the problem of our Heavenly Soul City." Wei Lin said solemnly.
The Noumenon Sect is the key to overcoming this siege. Only they can deal with the titled Douluo in the Sun and Moon Army. Otherwise, no matter how many troops come, it will be useless.
Therefore, this crucial position falls on the strongest Lu Chengkun to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Even if the Royal Knights fail to break out, as long as Mr. Lu succeeds, there will still be hope for Soul City that day.
"Your Majesty, if I leave Tianhun City, your safety will be in danger..." Lu Chengkun reminded from the side.
"It doesn't matter."
Although he didn't know why Su Luoheng made the five-day appointment, Wei Lin believed that he would keep his promise.
Because Su Luoheng＞Long Xiaoyao＞Lv Chengkun.
So if Su Luoheng wanted to kill him now, even if Lu Chengkun was by his side to protect him, he wouldn't be able to stop him.
Wei Lin is gambling.
Bet that Su Luoheng won't take action in advance.
The Sun and Moon Empire didn't know that the Tianhun Empire had secretly formed an alliance with the Noumenon Sect.
Five days.
In his view, this is an opportunity to break the deadlock.
Only a few people in the Tianhun Empire knew about the alliance between the Tianhun Empire and the Noumenon Sect, and all of them were high-ranking officials in the empire.
It is impossible for Su Luoheng and the Sun and Moon Empire to know, absolutely impossible!
