Chapter six hundred and ninety fourth: coercion
The atmosphere in the hall was tense.
The Tang Dynasty was pressing forward step by step, while the other four countries did not give in.
"Ahem!"
The right sage envoy coughed twice and persuaded him: "My lords, please calm down. Lord Tang and Xiaoyou Zhuo, the unification of the five countries is not as simple as imagined. It involves all aspects of the matter. If there is a slight mistake, it will cause great chaos. Please think twice. "
At this point, the ambitions of the Tang Dynasty are obvious and there is no room for compromise.
The four kings knew in their hearts that regardless of whether they agreed to the unification of the five countries, it would be difficult to be good today, and it would even be difficult to leave here.
Thinking of this, the four kings secretly regretted that this was not the Five Kingdoms Alliance, it was simply a Hongmen Banquet! It was not their carelessness. Who would have thought that the Tang Dynasty, which had always been kind, suddenly became so decisive that it did not even give the right holy envoy's face, caught them off guard and had no preparation at all.
If I had known this, I would not have left the capital if I had beaten to death.
...
After a long silence, Zhuo Yunxian waved his hand, and the invisible pressure dissipated.
Seeing this scene, the right saint envoy and the four kings thought Zhuo Yunxian had figured it out and felt relieved.
Who would have thought that Zhuo Yunxian's voice suddenly changed: "Senior Guan, you are the right envoy of the Pilgrimage Mountain, with a wide range of knowledge and a high-level structure. How long do you think the current situation can Taixuanzhou last? Or how long will the entire Xianqiu Continent last?"
“…”
Guan Dingyue couldn't help but be stunned, lowered his head and remained silent, but did not answer immediately.
The four kings looked at each other, and a premonition arose in their hearts. Zhuo Yunxian obviously had something to say.
"Tang Emperor Master, you...what do you mean this??"
Hearing the inquiry from the Song Dynasty, Zhuo Yunxian said bluntly: "Didn't you notice the changes in the world? Now that disasters are coming, Taixu's illusion is closed, Taixu's Eye disappears, Xianqiu's Continent is already full of holes, and all demons will invade and alien chaos."
After a pause, Zhuo Yunxian said in a deep tone: "Zhuo is not only talking about Taixuanzhou, but also the entire Immortal Dome Continent."
“…”
The more the four kings heard, the more they became more and more anxious. They thought that the disaster in Taixuanzhou had all caused the Tianmen. Now, after hearing what Zhuo Yunxian said, and then recalling the various changes that have occurred recently, even without the Tianmen chaos, Taixuanzhou would not be calm.
Zhuo Yunxian ignored everyone's pale faces and continued to ask: "Senior Guan, do you know what the heavenly signs in the Pilgrimage Mountain are?"
"Uh, you know!?"
Guan Dingyue's heart tightened and his face changed a lot. He and the Four Kingdoms had sent people to investigate more than once, but they found nothing, and the maintenance also damaged many masters.
Zhuo Yunxian nodded and said, "That is a strange sign that the gate of heaven is coming. Zhuo has seen it in Kunlun Sea, and... Zhuo almost pushed open the gate of heaven and ascended to the upper realm, but he stayed in the end."
"What!? The legendary gate of heaven!?"
The four kings of the country were shocked, and they were more excited and desire.
Ascending to the upper realm and becoming an immortal is the dream goal of all immortal cultivators. Few people can resist the temptation of becoming an immortal. But listening to Zhuo Yunxian's tone, it seems that the gate of heaven is inappropriate.
Before the four kings calmed down, Zhuo Yunxian continued: "In fact, the upper realm is not as beautiful as you imagined, and even the living environment in the upper realm is even more cruel and harsh."
"What!? This is impossible!"
The four kings shook their heads and denied them without even thinking about it.
In their opinion, the heaven must use abundant fairy spirit energy, how can the environment be harsh when practicing immortality thousands of miles a day?
Zhuo Yunxian asked without explanation, "Then Zhuo asked you, would you be willing to be enslaved by the superior immortals forever?"
“…”
The four kings thought about it seriously, and then shook their heads solemnly.
They practice immortality for the sake of longevity, not being restricted, or having high power and status. Especially as the king of the country, how can they be willing to become slaves to others?
Zhuo Yunxian said in a deep voice: "In fact, those who are leading the immortals to ascend to the upper realm through the Heavenly Gate will be planted with slave seals, and life and death will be connected to others' thoughts."
Everyone was inexplicably heartbroken when they heard this, especially the right saint Guan Dingyue. His knowledge was far above the four kings, so they naturally understood the harm of the gate of the heavenly realm.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Zhuo Yunxian said in a gentle tone: "Although Zhuo doesn't know what will happen next in the Tianmen, Taixuanzhou has reached a critical moment of life and death... Zhuo and Tang Jiu are not ambitious, but for the future of Taixuanzhou, the unification of the five countries is imperative and no one can stop it."
While speaking, Zhuo Yunxian glanced at Guan Dingyue, and the latter nodded with a wry smile, deciding not to interfere in the matter anymore.
The four kings of the country were unwilling to accept it, but they had no choice but to compromise in the end.
However, Zhuo Yunxian obviously did not intend to let the tiger return to the mountain, and said lightly: "Since you are here to be a guest, it is better to stay in the Emperor Capital of the Tang Dynasty for a while, so that we can fulfill our friendship as a landlord."
"You want to put us under house arrest?"
The four kings looked ugly and felt extremely frustrated.
The Song Dynasty's king burst out in anger and said, "Zhuo Yunxian, we have all compromised. What else do you want? The country cannot be without a king for a day. If we don't go back, the dynasty will lose control. At that time, the world will be in chaos and will be out of control. You will be the eternal sinners of Taixuanzhou!"
"Master Song, you're thinking too much."
Zhuo Yunxian was unmoved: "Actually, you are not as important as you imagined. It is because I don't like to commit more murders, so I put you under house arrest. In fact, killing you is the most appropriate arrangement."
The Ming Dynasty king said dejectedly: "The emperor's teacher, the unification of the five countries is not a matter of a day or a night. When did you start to deploy?"
Zhuo Yunxian said concisely: "Three years ago, the King Dao Alliance."
"What!?" The Song Dynasty's Lord said in disbelief: "The King's Alliance is your pawn!? You have already calculated today three years ago!?"
"Um."
Zhuo Yunxian nodded lightly, his face extremely calm.
The four kings had a numb scalp and felt depressed and weak. They started to make arrangements three years ago, but now they say nothing is useless.
At this time, Tang Jiu slowly spoke: "Don't worry, lords, the unification of the five countries does not harm everyone's interests, but will make us stronger. We can guarantee this."
The Lord of the Ming Dynasty moved: "Oh? What does Lord Tang say about this?"
Tang Jiu said with a smile: "The dynasty will be unparalleled for generations. When the fate of the five countries is connected, they can use the power of the fortune of the country to promote their cultivation."
"This is true!"
"It is true that there is a right envoy to testify."
Hearing Tang Jiu's promise, the four kings were excited and their emotions of being oppressed were relieved a lot.
Of course, if Tianmen is not removed for a day, Taixuanzhou will be unstable for a day. What qualifications does the Tang Dynasty have to unify the five countries and establish a dynasty for generations?
The next priority is to agree on the dispatch of troops.
The four kings dared not object and could only express their support.
If you lose, don't mention everything. The Tang Dynasty has no face to talk about unifying the five countries.
It's a welcome thing if it's done, not to mention that they are powerless to resist.
In fact, they still hope that the Tang Dynasty would win in their hearts, after all, the Tianmen put too much pressure on Taixuanzhou.
At the end of the banquet, Zhuo Yunxian did not forget to mention the Qin Dongwu to the Song Dynasty. The grudges of that year should be settled.
