1257 Persuasion
Xiao Yun looked very miserable at this time. His clothes were stained with a lot of blood, and there were people in the team who were injured. They were barely able to move forward with the help of their teammates.
The passage earlier was too dangerous!
Xiao Yun had spent a lot of effort to escape from the original devouring body’s grasp in the crack in the wall and reach the central region. The entire team had paid a huge price for this.
Seeing the people gathered in front of the round platform, Xiao Yun’s expression changed and he pointed his sword forward.
He found it! The intruders of the underground palace!
But when he saw the face of the leader, Xiao Yun was stunned.
How could it be him?!
He was one of the royal family heirs to the imperial Empire, Tang Wu!
Seeing that the man had raised his weapon, the guards and the knights behind Tang Wu immediately got into formation.
The two sides raised their weapons and confronted each other.
Xiao Yun was shocked.
He had been trying to figure out who had invaded the underground palace in secret and caused a great disturbance in the Imperial City, including the attack on the Empire’s Imperial City with barbarians.
However, he never thought that the person behind all this would be Tang Wu!
The president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, who had come with Xiao Yun, had a dark expression on his face.
This was terrible!
He saw that more than half of the original devouring body on the round platform had already crawled out of the deep hole! The semi-fluid body of the original devouring body had already covered more than half of the round platform.
And those people from the Holy Court!
What were they doing?
Were they helping the original devouring body break free from the seal?
This was crazy! The world had gone crazy!
Ovian quickly stopped him and asked loudly, “What are you guys doing? Quickly stop!”
Tang Wu’s gaze swept across Ovian in disdain. He didn’t answer and ignored him. He then looked at Xiao Yun and said in a deep voice, “Commander Xiao, you’re here just in time. Why don’t you kneel down when you see me?”
A few thoughts flashed through Xiao Yun’s mind, as he gritted his teeth and cupped his fists, “Your Highness.”
“Commander Xiao, do you know about the dirty things Salvador has done?”
Xiao Yun’s expression changed.
Even if he didn’t say everything, he naturally knew a little.
“It seems like you don’t want to tell me. I’ll tell you. Salvador murdered the late Emperor and secretly raised demons in the royal family.” Tang Wu stared at Xiao Yun and continued, “The evidence is right in front of you. This news will spread throughout the Empire very quickly. Salvador will no longer be the king. Do you know what you should do now? ”
Xiao Yun frowned and said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Do you have any evidence for what you’ve said?”
“Hmph! There will be evidence!”
Tang Wu’s expression changed and he snorted, “You’re so close to Salvador that you know what he’s done. I’ll give you one last chance. Do you want to die with him or do something for me? I can promise you that as long as you work for me, I’ll let bygones be bygones, and I’ll even give you heavy responsibilities!”
Xiao Yun’s expression changed several times.
Fang Heng was secretly watching from a distance. When he heard the conversation between the two, he couldn’t help but encourage them secretly.
Don’t agree with it!
Fight!
Hurry up and fight!
He could only find an opportunity to fish when there was a dispute!
Fang Heng was secretly cheering for Xiao Yun in his heart when he suddenly noticed several game prompts flashing on his retina.
[Hint: The player’s current mission-the Empire rebellion mission has changed.]
[Hint: The player has collected a large amount of evidence of Salvador’s crimes. The mission completion rate is more than 200%. The subsequent mission progress has been changed.]
[Hint: The player team has completed the mission-expose Salvador’s true colors. The player team has gained a large amount of Empire reputation and the player team’s friendship with Tang Mo has greatly increased.]
[Hint: The player team has triggered the current mission-Punishment.]
Mission title: Punishment.
Mission description: Salvador has been secretly controlling the royal family and has committed various crimes. He has lost control and entered demonized state. Please help to kill Salvador.
Mission requirement: Kill mutated Salvador.
Mission reward: A large number of reputation points for the Empire, and a large number of reputation points for the Empire’s successor (unlocked in the subsequent missions).
Seeing the task prompt, Fang Heng raised his eyebrows again.
Eh? What was this situation?
Did Ed trigger a mission?
Didn’t they already run away?
Why was he fighting with Salvador?
Wait, Salvador was also in his demonized form?
While he was thinking, Fang Heng saw a white-haired old man from the Council of Elders walking out from behind Tang Wu.
“Xiao Yun, are you still going to be so stubborn?”
Xiao Yun’s face changed when he saw the old man.
“7th Grandpa.”
“Kneel down! I told you to kneel!” The old man shouted at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and knelt on one knee.
Tang Wu felt relieved.
Xiao Yun’s 7th Grandpa was one of the senators, and using the Council of Elders to control Xiao Yun was part of his plan.
“Get up. It’s a great thing to repent. From now on, listen to His Majesty Tang Wu’s orders. His Majesty has already promised the Council of Elders that he will let bygones be bygones.”
“Yes! 7th Grandpa.”
Xiao Yun immediately made a decision and bowed to Tang Wu, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“Good, good, good.” Tang Wu revealed a warm smile, “I’ll still need Commander Xiao’s help in the future.”
The rest of the royal guards that followed Xiao Yun were led by the commander. The rest of the Empire soldiers hesitated for a moment before they followed suit and chose to submit to Tang Wu.
Ovian saw that Xiao Yun had surrendered so easily and was shocked. He took a few steps back and pointed at Xiao Yun, “Xiao Yun! You dare to betray…”
Along the way, Xiao Yun had been extremely unhappy with Ovian. Frowning, he sternly interrupted, “Capture him!”
“Yes!”
The royal guards immediately stepped forward and held Ovian in place.
“You!”
As an alchemist, Ovian wasn’t very strong. He wanted to resist, but dozens of auras had locked onto him. He had no choice but to give up and be controlled by several royal guards.
“Are you all crazy? Do you know what you are doing? You’re all traitors!”
Ovian looked at the royal guards and the Empire sword saint with them, he shouted with his last bit of hope, “Rio Tinto! Do you see them? Hurry up and help!”
Everyone shifted their gazes to the Empire’s sword saint Rio Tinto with caution.
Rio Tinto frowned.
When he was young, he received the favor of the Empire royal family and made an oath to protect the royal family. However, it was obvious that the situation before him was beyond his ability.
“I’ve seen it. Back then, I did promise that I would do my best to protect the royal family for a period of time. As for now, it’s not convenient for me to intervene if your imperial family is facing some problems.”
Rio Tinto shook his head and turned to Tang Wu. He said, “When everything is settled, I’ll keep my promise and continue to be loyal to the royal family.”
Tang Wu was a little upset when he heard that, but he still cupped his hands respectfully to Rio Tinto.
It was not a wise move to have a sword saint as an enemy at this time.
“Thank you, Mr. Rio Tinto.”
