Chapter 13850: A Covenant Not Worth Mentioning
The giant tiger's footsteps echoed on the stone pavement of the palace, as if it were the unyielding battle song of the Tyrant Empire.
Last time, it was the twelve powerful men of the royal family who protected the Dazhen Dynasty.
So this time, who will it be?
After the Demon Suppressor's burly figure gradually disappeared at the end of the palace corridor, and the dust raised by the giant tiger could no longer be seen, Ling Xiao slowly turned around and fixed his eyes steadily on Ji Mingkong.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could penetrate Ji Mingkong's mind, and he said in a deep voice: "I know what you are thinking.
The Demon Sea has been silent for a thousand years. During these thousand years, it has been like a giant beast lurking in the dark abyss, constantly accumulating strength and absorbing the evil and resentment of the world.
Now that it strikes again, it must be more terrifying than last time.
The surging evil spirit and the ferocious demons, each force was enough to change the color of the sky and the earth.
If we stand idly by and allow the sea of demons to wreak havoc, then this land where we have lived for generations will become a ruin.
The once prosperous town will be reduced to ruins, and the people will struggle in pain and despair, and eventually be devoured by the demons and become their bloody food. "
Ji Mingkong listened to Ling Xiao's words, his brows furrowed tightly, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly, as if he was suppressing his inner emotions.
He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with resentment and helplessness: "But you should also know that some people may not think the same way as you do.
The hearts of people in this world are complicated, just like a bottomless pool, you never know what is hidden underneath.
At critical moments, some people are still thinking about killing you and destroying the Tyrant Empire.
They only care about their own interests. For the so-called power and status, they are willing to collude with the Demon Sea, or watch from the sidelines, watching us fight to the death with the Demon Sea, so that they can reap the benefits, instead of dealing with the Demon Sea themselves.
They don’t care about the survival of this land or the lives of the people.”
Ling Xiao looked at Ji Mingkong's excited expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, that smile was somewhat open-minded and calm: "I understand your concerns, your concerns are not unreasonable.
This world is full of intrigue and deception.
However, the Demon Suppressor was not wrong. He had already existed long before the Holy Temple ruled the Bai Ze Continent.
It was an ancient and mysterious organization. From generation to generation, they shouldered the responsibility of protecting this continent and fought countless brutal battles with the sea of demons.
In other words, the Demon Sea has a history older than that of the Demon Sect and the Holy Temple. It is like an eternal nightmare, shrouding this continent.
If the Demon Suppressors had not fought to the death time and time again, using their blood and lives to block the attacks of the sea of demons, how could this place be so intact?
The prosperity and peace we see today are all gained through the sacrifices of countless predecessors.”
“You should know that I have made a great wish to unify the Xuan Realm.
This Bai Ze continent and this Dazhen Dynasty are a footprint of my ambition and a place I swear to protect with my life. Naturally, I will not ignore it.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, no matter what the price is, I will not back down."
Ling Xiao's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a sharp sword, piercing through the dull air in the palace.
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Ji Mingkong's eyes flashed with complex emotions, including admiration and helplessness.
He let out a long sigh, and that sigh seemed to carry too much worry and emotion: "I am just complaining. In fact, I also know in my heart that those so-called covenants have nothing to do with us.
The alliance they made was made ten thousand years ago, when the Tyrant Empire had not yet been established.
Today, our Tyrant Empire has just been established, just like a seedling just broken through the ground, it still needs time to grow and become stronger.
The life and death covenant they signed ten thousand years ago has no binding force on us.
But I am worried that if we rashly participate in this battle with the Demon Sea, we will be in an irretrievable situation. "
"Are you really not going to reconsider it?" Ji Mingkong stared at Ling Xiao's eyes, trying to find a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
At this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard outside the palace, and a figure flew over like lightning and instantly landed in front of Ling Xiao and Ji Mingkong.
This person was none other than Crown Prince Liu Heng. He was dressed in gorgeous brocade robes and had a purple gold crown on his head. There was a heroic and majestic air between his brows.
Liu Heng looked at Ling Xiao and Ji Mingkong and said solemnly, "You two should stop thinking about keeping out of trouble.
The Tyrant Empire is no longer small now. It is like a giant ship sailing in the rough sea, carrying the hopes and destinies of countless people.
If you intend to keep yourself out of trouble and choose to retreat when the sea of demons attacks, the consequence will be the destruction of the Tyrant Empire.
The sea of demons will not let us go just because we retreat. They will destroy everything on this land like a swarm of locusts.
By then, what we will lose is not only the territory and people of the Tyrant Empire, but also our dignity and mission as a strong country.
Therefore, we must unite and fight against the sea of demons together. This is our only choice."
Liu Heng looked solemn and stared at Ji Mingkong with a sharp gaze. His voice was steady and powerful, as if it was carrying a heavy weight. He reminded him, "Resisting the Demon Sea is not something that any one force can undertake alone. It is the common responsibility of all forces in the Dazhen Dynasty.
The surging demonic energy of the Demon Sea is like dark clouds covering the sky and the sun. Wherever it goes, lives are destroyed and mountains and rivers are shattered.
What they bring is destruction and doomsday.
At this critical moment that concerns the survival of the dynasty and the safety of the continent, no force can stay out of it.
If at this moment, you not only do not participate in the resistance, but also try to take advantage of the chaos to seek personal gain and disrupt the overall situation for your own selfishness, then all forces will put aside their deep or shallow, obvious or hidden grudges, and unite to eliminate you first! Even our royal family will not be an exception.
Because at this moment of life and death, there can be no room for any internal strife. Even the slightest spark could set off a prairie fire and drag the entire dynasty into an abyss of no return."
When Ji Mingkong heard this, his expression, which had originally been somewhat stubborn and unwilling, instantly froze and he fell into silence.
His brows were tightly furrowed like two small hills, and several deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead. His eyes were full of solemnity and thought.
In that silence, it seemed as if countless thoughts were surging and colliding in his mind. He knew very well that what Liu Heng said was not alarmist. The interests behind it were like an intricate net that tightly enveloped him.
