Lu Chen said at this time: "Let the envoy from Tianji Pavilion come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Bai Qingqing finished speaking, she turned around and left the yard. Seeing Bai Qingqing leaving, Ji Qiuyu also quickened her pace and left the yard.
Not long after, Bai Qingqing waited for several people wearing gray yin-yang pattern robes to enter the courtyard.
After everyone entered the courtyard, they immediately saluted Lu Chen and said, "The criminals of Tianji Pavilion pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Lu Chen glanced at these people and found that they were all elders of Tianji Pavilion.
Seeing so many elders, Lu Chen chuckled, and then said: "Isn't it true that all the elders from Tianji Pavilion are here?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will catch you all if you come to your door?"
After hearing this, Shao Yuanjia, the elder of Tianji Pavilion, immediately stood up and said: "We are guilty people. If Your Majesty wants to get rid of us and give justice to the world, we have nothing to say."
"It's just..."
Having said this, Shao Yuanjia paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's just that the guilty people have something to say. I hope your majesty can listen to what the guilty people have to say."
Lu Chen's eyes returned to the map on the stone table, and he said expressionlessly: "Tell me."
Seeing that Lu Chen did not take action against them immediately, Shao Yuanjia felt happy and hopeful, so he immediately said: "The release of the demon is entirely Gongye Liangpeng's decision. We also opposed it at the beginning, but Gongye Liangpeng With his arbitrary actions and the fact that he has attracted all the major forces in Ziyang World, we are powerless to stop him.”
Lu Chen said: "Oh? Do you want to pass all the responsibilities on to the master of your Tianji Pavilion?"
"If my guess is correct, your pavilion master should have escaped from Ziyang World, right?"
Shao Yuanjia said quickly: "Your Majesty has made it clear that we are responsible for the crime. We will never shirk it. As a member of the Ziyang World, we failed to stop Gongye Liangfen. Our sin is still unforgivable."
"And it wasn't until Gongye Liangpeng left that we discovered that Gongye Liangpeng turned out to be a demon envoy. We have followed a demon envoy for so many years and helped him do evil. No matter how His Majesty deals with us, we have no regrets."
"It's just that we really don't dare to bear the reputation of releasing demons."
After hearing Shao Yuanjia's words, Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at Shao Yuanjia again.
【Name: Shao Yuanjia】
[Identity: Great Elder of Tianji Pavilion, candidate for the head of Tianji Pavilion. 】
[Strength: Ninth Level of Yin-Yang Realm]
【Loyalty: 96】
Shao Yuanjia has more than 90% loyalty to him, and it seems that he really wants to be loyal to him.
Lu Chen said: "Gongye's good friend ran away. If your Tianji Pavilion doesn't bear the bad reputation, is it possible that I should bear the bad reputation?"
As soon as the words fell, a wave of coercion was released from Lu Chen's body. In an instant, Shao Yuanjia and the other elders of Tianji Pavilion fell to their knees.
A strong pressure pressed on them, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Shao Yuanjia gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Your Majesty, it is our responsibility to recognize people without knowing them. We are willing to accept any punishment, but Gongye Liangpeng is very powerful. Even if we tried to stop him in the first place, we were powerless. ”
Lu Chen said calmly: "Weak-minded? You didn't do anything, so of course you are powerless." "As long as you tried your best to prevent Gongye Liangpeng from releasing the demon, and you come to me today to beg me, I will not hold you accountable."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Shao Yuanjia and others fell silent.
They did think it was inappropriate to release the demons to fight against the invaders from another world, but Tianji Pavilion had always been a good friend of Gongye. Even if they opposed it verbally, they did not dare to take any practical actions.
Lu Chen removed the pressure at this time, and Shao Yuanjia and the others instantly felt extremely relaxed, breathing heavily.
Lu Chen continued to look at the map on the stone table and said: "I can indeed absolve some of you Tianji Pavilion people from the guilt of their crimes with just one sentence, but why should I do this?"
Hearing this, Shao Yuanjia instantly understood what Lu Chen meant and said quickly: "Your Majesty's prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period will certainly not stop at the Ziyang World. If your Majesty wants to attack other worlds in the future, our Tianji Pavilion can help your Majesty deduce the strength of enemies in other worlds. and planning.”
Lu Chen thought for a while, if these people in Tianji Pavilion could deduce the specific situations of other worlds, then he would be able to spend less time collecting intelligence.
For example, attacking the Ziyang World, gathering intelligence took up too much time. As a result, after they entered the Ziyang World, they only killed one demon, and the Ziyang World almost fell into his hands.
If he can judge the overall strength of a world earlier, then he can send troops earlier, capture that world earlier, and then absorb the world's luck earlier.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said: "Your calculation ability doesn't seem to be very good. You don't even know that your pavilion master is a demon envoy. Even if I save you, I'm afraid you may not be effective."
This...
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Shao Yuanjia and others froze on the spot. Regarding this point, they really had no way to refute Lu Chen.
After a while, Shao Yuanjia defended himself and said: "Your Majesty, a monk with strong deduction ability can block the secrets of heaven. Gongye Liangpeng is stronger than all of us combined. It is normal that we cannot deduce that he is a demon envoy."
Lu Chen said: "Oh? Really? Then I can't block the secret. You can deduce me and see what I will do next."
"If you can deduce it, you will pass."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, the elders of Tianji Pavilion looked at me and I looked at you. They seemed to be communicating with their eyes.
Seeing that they didn't respond immediately, Lu Chen said, "What? You don't have the ability?"
Shao Yuanjia said: "To be fair to Your Majesty, we have jointly deduced everything about Your Majesty when we came to Black Moon City. It's just that His Majesty is a man of great destiny and is protected by the origin of the universe, so we cannot deduce everything about His Majesty."
Lu Chen chuckled and said, "They are indeed a bunch of useless people."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone in Tianji Pavilion suddenly felt extremely sad. It seemed that they were bound to die.
When they jointly deduced the origin of Emperor Xia in Tianji Pavilion, they encountered severe backlash. At that time, they had already guessed their fate, so they decided to fight to the death and come to Black Moon City to serve Emperor Xia.
It now appears that they failed.
Just when everyone thought Emperor Xia was going to get rid of them, Lu Chen said calmly: "I can give you another chance. You can figure out the origin of Nangong Qingya, the leader of Xuehongfang, and what she plans to do next."< br>
"If you can't even figure this out, then you can go back and wait to die."
As soon as these words came out, the elders of Tianji Pavilion quickly surrounded the city as if they were grasping a life-saving straw.
The next moment, a Yin-Yang magic circle appeared under their feet. (End of chapter)
