Chapter 1130 Do you want to rebel?

Young Master Shangguan’s words just now were still echoing in everyone’s ears.

Not only do many people in his family serve as officials in the court, the highest official position is even as high as the second rank!

You must know that in the official system of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, a second-rank official is already a powerful official in the court, in charge of the administrative or military affairs of a region, and a stomp of his feet can shake an entire star field.

Looking across the entire Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who dare to provoke a minister of this level!

For a moment, the eyes of everyone present looking at Master Shangguan were filled with awe and a bit of timidity.

Many people even subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at Master Shangguan again.

They were afraid that if they gave this "noble man" an inappropriate look, they would offend him and bring disaster to their own forces.

Even those who were amazed at Ye Chen before now quietly shut up and pondered in their hearts.

Now Ye Chen might have to compromise. After all, no matter how strong his personal strength is, he cannot withstand the power of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom!

"Oh? Someone from the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his cuffs, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

No wonder the guard in front of him dared to be so arrogant. It turned out that he had the powerful Wuxiang Divine Kingdom as his backer.

But on second thought, this makes sense.

Anyone who has any connection with the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom and has such a background would probably be arrogant and act like they are the boss.

"It's good to know!"

The guard took a step forward, pointing his rough palm at Ye Chen's nose, and his voice exploded like thunder, "My master is willing to let you join our camp, it is a great honor for you! If you know what's good for you, please accept it quickly, otherwise, you will be a dead corpse without a burial place!!!"

Although he was just an attendant guard beside Master Shangguan, he followed the nobleman around every day and was used to the flattery of others.

Over time, I also felt that my status had become more noble.

The look he gave Ye Chen at this moment was as if he was looking at an insignificant ant, full of condescending contempt.

"Even the Holy Emperor Wuxiang has arrived, yet he doesn't dare to speak to me like that." Upon hearing this, Ye Chen paused for a moment, then chuckled softly. The laughter grew louder and louder, and finally turned into a hearty laugh. "A mere Shangguan family, whose name I've never even heard of, dares to shamelessly ask me to be their younger brother? Hahaha!"

Not to mention the unknown Shangguan family, even if the founder of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, the legendary Wuxiang Holy Emperor who could move mountains and fill the sea with a wave of his hand, came in person, Ye Chen might not give him any face.

As soon as he said this, the whole audience fell into silence, and the next second, an uproar broke out!

Everyone present, whether standing or sitting, looked as if they had seen a living ghost. The blood drained from their faces, replaced by fear.

Everyone subconsciously opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with disbelief.

How dare someone offend the Formless Saint Emperor so openly!

That’s the Formless Saint Emperor!

He is the founding monarch who created the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom and is the undisputed strongest person in the entire Divine Kingdom!

Countless people have been looking up at his back all their lives, and everyone lives under the order and glory he created. Who is not in awe of this truly invincible strong man and dares not even call him by his name?

No matter whether they are princes or nobles, or hermit masters, they must be respectful in front of the Formless Saint Emperor, and no one dares to offend him in the slightest!

But the person in front of him actually opened his mouth and said, "Even if the Formless Saint Emperor came, he wouldn't dare to talk to him like this"?

This is simply treasonous and he thinks his life is too long!

"Is he, is he crazy? That's the Formless Saint Emperor!"

In the crowd, a blue-robed monk covered his mouth, his voice trembling. "Even if you don't want to join Master Shangguan, you can just refuse directly. Why are you so fearless as to drag His Majesty the Saint Emperor into this?!"

"In the land of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, no one has ever dared to disrespect His Majesty the Holy Emperor like this!"

A white-haired old man beside him stamped his feet heavily, his face filled with anxiety. "If His Majesty the Holy Emperor gets angry about this, even if the Shangguan family steps in, they won't be able to save him!!!"

"Have you forgotten? His Majesty the Holy Emperor has long since cultivated supernatural powers. It is said that as long as someone mentions his name within the Divine Kingdom, he can sense it!"

Another monk's face was pale, and he lowered his voice but couldn't hide his panic, "With your majesty's ability, even if you are far away from billions of galaxies, you only need a thought to make this kid die countless times!!!"

"I think he really doesn't want to live anymore!" Someone shook their head and sighed, their tone complicated. "If he had offended the Shangguan family, he might have had a chance to survive. But using the Holy Emperor as an accusation is enough to grind his bones to dust, and he'd die countless times over!"

"Oh, what a pity."

At the back of the crowd, a bearded man looked in Ye Chen's direction, his face full of regret. "This senior's strength is unfathomable. He just confronted the official guards, and he shares my hatred of evil. He's a rare straightforward person. But he insisted on mentioning the Holy Emperor, and said it so offensively! He's finished now. I think he's truly hopeless!!!"

Everyone started whispering to each other.

The eyes looking at Ye Chen were divided into two camps.

Some people thought he was crazy and dared to challenge the majesty of the Holy Emperor with his own life.

Others feel regretful.

After all, Ye Chen's demonstrated strength is there, and his character is upright. If he is willing to follow Master Shangguan and help him accomplish things, his future will surely be limitless.

But not only did he refuse, he even insisted on touching the taboo of "offending the Holy Emperor". This was too much!

This time, even if Master Shangguan had no intention of taking his life from the beginning, he would never let him go in order to show his loyalty to the Holy Emperor and to appease his possible anger!

Even Master Shangguan, who had always been arrogant and pretentious, was completely stunned at this moment. His pupils shrank slightly, and the fingers holding the folding fan tightened unconsciously.

He never expected that there would be someone in this world who was even more arrogant than himself, so arrogant that he even looked down on His Majesty the Holy Emperor!

In the entire Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, from the kings and nobles to the peddlers and porters, who doesn't respect His Majesty the Holy Emperor?

Even those old monsters who had been in seclusion for many years had to be respectful when mentioning the Holy Emperor, and would never dare to show any disrespect. This kid in front of him was simply too audacious!

"You...you dare to offend His Majesty's majesty?!"

Young Master Shangguan rushed forward two steps, pointing his finger directly at Ye Chen. His voice trembled slightly with fear, and even carried a hint of barely perceptible panic.

The guards behind him also tensed up instantly, their hands on the weapons at their waists, staring at Ye Chen vigilantly, as if they were about to rush up and take him down in the next second.

Ye Chen still stood there, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and there was even a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.

He brushed off the nonexistent dust on his clothes and said calmly, "What's the big deal about being offended? Let alone just a casual remark, even if the Formless Saint Emperor were standing before me, I would still say the same thing."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and then a series of "hissing" sounds were heard one after another.

The sound of people gasping for air was as dense as the wind blowing through the trees.

Everyone's face was even paler than before, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Ye Chen was not only filled with fear, but also with a bit of despair as if to say "as expected".

This kid is really crazy!

How dare you utter such outrageous words? Aren't you afraid that the Holy Emperor's divine sense will lock onto you in the next second and turn you into ashes?

A fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Master Shangguan's forehead, flowing down his temples and soaking his collar.

He had indeed thought of recruiting Ye Chen just now - Ye Chen's calm and composed appearance when facing the guards just now showed that he was obviously a tough guy with considerable strength.

He originally thought that by recruiting such a person into his own camp, he would have a powerful helper in the future, whether he was fighting for family power or dealing with other forces.

But now, the idea of ​​surrendering in his heart had been completely extinguished by Ye Chen's words, without even a spark left!

After Ye Chen had so openly offended the prestige of the Holy Emperor, if he still dared to bring him under his wing, if the news got out, he would not only be accused of "disrespecting the Holy Emperor", but in serious cases, he would even be charged with "association with the traitor" and "intending to rebel"!

By then, he wouldn't be the only one in trouble.

The entire Shangguan family will be implicated. At the very least, their titles will be stripped away and their property will be confiscated. At the worst, the entire family will be executed!

Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would not dare to bear the consequences.

Win over Ye Chen?

Now he just wanted to stay as far away from this "troublemaker" as possible!

"You're really looking for death!"

Young Master Shangguan suddenly raised his hand and said savagely, "Whether you are talking nonsense or are truly treasonous, you must die here today! I will eliminate this evil for the people!!!"

After hearing this, Ye Chen almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm.

People from harm?

This hat is really big.

He thought carefully about his past actions. He had never done anything to harm the people. How could he become a "harm" that needed to be "eliminated"?

If we really want to talk about "eliminating harm for the people", then this young master Shangguan who relies on his family's power to act tyrannically and lets his guards order others around is probably the one who better meets the standard of "harm", right?

If we really want to take action and kill Master Shangguan, it would be considered as getting rid of a harm to the people.

Upon hearing that Young Master Shangguan finally agreed to kill Ye Chen, the person who was most delighted among the people present was Elder Situ, who was standing not far from Young Master Shangguan.

His cloudy old eyes lit up instantly, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning blue and white due to the force.

There has long been a deep blood feud between him and Ye Chen, and there is no possibility of resolving it at all.

Ye Chen almost wiped out the entire Situ family.

Every time he thought of this, he felt like a huge rock was blocking his heart. As long as Ye Chen was still alive, he would be restless day and night and couldn't even sleep well.

Previously, Master Shangguan was determined to recruit Ye Chen. Even though he was full of resentment, he could only suppress his temper and obey orders. He was forced to "coexist peacefully" with this enemy who had wiped out his clan, and did not even dare to say a word about fighting and killing.

That feeling was simply torture for him.

Watching my enemy swaying in front of me but unable to take revenge, my chest felt so suffocated that it almost exploded.

But it’s different now!

I don't know what's wrong with Ye Chen. It would have been fine if he just refused Master Shangguan's offer of amnesty, but he actually dared to speak rudely to His Majesty the Holy Emperor and say such outrageous words!

Patriarch Situ was so happy that he almost laughed out loud, with the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.

If the occasion wasn't so serious and there weren't so many people watching, he really wanted to throw his head back and laugh out loud three times to vent the resentment that had been pent up for so long.

Now, not to mention that Master Shangguan will no longer protect him, even if the Jade Emperor came, he would not be able to save Ye Chen!

He hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed to Master Shangguan, and spoke with an urgent yet deliberately serious tone, "Master! How dare this man speak nonsense and slander the Holy Emperor in public? In my opinion, he must be a rebel lurking within the Divine Kingdom! He must be killed on the spot today, and his life must not be spared! Otherwise, if he colludes with foreign enemies in the future, there will be endless trouble!!!"

As he spoke, he secretly observed the expression of Master Shangguan, hoping that he would give the order quickly so that he could watch Ye Chen die in front of him and relieve his hatred.

Young Master Shangguan is so smart, how could he not see the selfish intention in what Patriarch Situ said?

He glanced at Patriarch Situ coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

He just wanted to use his own hand to take revenge, but he made it sound so righteous.

But he didn't expose it. After all, killing Ye Chen was a foregone conclusion, and what Patriarch Situ said was just going with the flow.

He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the several guards in black uniforms around him. His voice was as cold as iron: "Kill this man!!!"

"Yes!!!"

Several guards responded in unison, their voices loud and deafening.

They didn't hesitate at all. The long swords at their waists were unsheathed with a "swish", and the cold light instantly cut through the air.

The leading guard rushed towards Ye Chen like an arrow, and the rest followed closely behind, encircling him from the left and right sides respectively. Their swords were sharp, and it was obvious that they intended to end the battle quickly and kill Ye Chen on the spot in one fell swoop.

These people are all very powerful, and they are all masters at the peak level of the Divine Emperor. In the entire Shangguan family, they are ranked among the best!

The fact that they can follow Master Shangguan and serve as his personal bodyguards is enough to prove this point!

When they each used their weapons, the sword lights flashed between heaven and earth, as if countless cold lights were swaying back and forth in front of everyone.

The whole world seemed to have become cold and oppressive!

Just now, Patriarch Situ lost to Ye Chen because he was not as skilled as the other.

Now, the strength of these guards is not inferior to that of Patriarch Situ. Although they do not have Chaos Saint Emperor-level weapons, relying on their numbers is still a great advantage.

Countless sharp sword lights instantly surrounded Ye Chen!

This situation will be extremely dangerous no matter who comes, and they may pay the price with their life at any time!

Ye Chen was surrounded by them, and countless sword lights were already slashing at his body!
