Chapter 1238 Mo Family's Pei Yanzhou, Pressing Forward with Momentum
"Pei Yanzhou!"
Seeing the Mo family's half-saint, dressed in a blue robe and carried by a mechanical beast resembling a giant butterfly, flying through the sky yet still unable to conceal his brilliance, the Wuwei City Lord's face darkened to the extreme:
"How could the foremost figure of the Mohist school, the master of the non-aggression path, commit such a despicable act, secretly bringing so many sacred wax stones into my Wuwei City to threaten me?"
"The situation is dire. Your strength is too great, City Lord. I cannot save my companions on my own, so I have no choice but to resort to this measure," Pei Yanzhou, a half-saint of the Mo family, replied calmly.
"Your so-called worst-case scenario is using the fifty million people of Wuwei City as leverage?" The Wuwei City Lord's eyes were filled with rage.
"Using the Sacred Wax Stone is a major taboo in the Purple Palace. Your Mo family has millions of disciples, yet you use such a method to force people to submit. Are you really not afraid that the twelve cities of the Purple Palace will join forces and raze your Mo family temple to the ground?"
He was really angry.
Although it was already known that the Mohists would definitely send more people.
For this reason, Duke Wuwei had made many preparations in the past few days to deal with other Mohist masters, but he did not expect that Pei Yanzhou would come, and he did not expect that Pei Yanzhou would use such dishonorable means.
Not only did he come, but he also secretly brought in a large number of holy wax stones and silently brought the mechanical beast within ten feet of the core of the holy light.
With just a cursory glance, Duke Wuwei discovered at least ten sacred wax stones held by mechanical beasts. He knew very well that if he could easily see ten sacred wax stones with his naked eye, it meant that there were probably more mechanical beasts lurking in places he couldn't see.
This method is utterly disgusting.
Faced with the Duke of Wuwei's anger, Pei Yanzhou simply shook his head: "This is a temporary measure. If you, Lord of Wuwei, return Senior Sister Gu, whom you have captured, I will not open any of the Sacred Wax Stones."
"Just that?"
"Of course, I will also take that magic weapon called Shattered Star to Treasure City."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Wuwei City sneered, "Do you know that it belongs to someone else?"
"I know."
"You know? Everyone praises you, Pei Yanzhou, as upright and the most reasonable person in the Mo family. But now it seems you're nothing more than a covetous rat who covets other people's magical treasures, and you even resort to such means. It's despicable!"
“That magical artifact is extraordinary. My Mo family needs it very much. Even if it means going against all odds, we must bring it back. We hope that the Lord of Wuwei City will grant us permission.”
"Stop dreaming." The Lord of Wuwei City shook his head directly: "Not to mention that it is the magic weapon of my Wuwei City's benefactor, just looking at your sanctimonious appearance, I would never agree to it."
"If the Lord of Wuwei City doesn't consider his own interests, does he also not consider the interests of the fifty million people in Wuwei City?" Pei Yanzhou asked coldly, his gaze icy.
As he was asking questions, one of the tiger-shaped mechanical beasts opened its blood-red maw and bit into a piece of sacred wax stone. With just a little force, its sharp teeth would crush the fragile sacred wax stone on the spot.
This is a threat.
A naked threat.
More importantly, Pei Yanzhou made no attempt to hide his presence this time, which naturally attracted a lot of attention. His conversation with the city lord of Wuwei was also overheard by many people in the city.
"Holy Wax Stone, it's actually Holy Wax Stone! How dare the Mo family do such a thing?"
"Does the Mohist school want to kill us all?"
"The Holy Wax Stone was agreed upon ten thousand years ago, and it cannot be used no matter how great the grudge is. How dare they bring out such a thing!"
"..."
Worse still, after this chorus of exclamations, many city residents knelt down in fear before the city lord of Wuwei, begging him to promise that the other party must not actually open the Sacred Wax Stone.
Although the Duke of Wuwei has not publicly acknowledged the reforms in Wuwei City these past few days, most people are speculating that the Holy Light Core of Wuwei City will not last much longer.
This is the situation now.
Opening the wrong piece of sacred wax stone could destroy Wuwei City!
Faced with such a life-or-death crisis, even family members might turn against each other, let alone mortals whose emotions are constantly affected by the power of the Sea of Sin. Even if discerning people could see that this was a tactic Pei Yanzhou used to coerce the Lord of Wuwei City, he might not actually dare to activate the Sacred Wax Stone.
Can……
Faced with life and death, who dares to gamble?
"Your Excellency has certainly played a clever trick." The City Lord of Wuwei's face was filled with cold light, but as the lord of a city, even if he saw through the other party's open scheme, he could only grit his teeth at this moment:
"I can give that old hag back to you."
"But that shattered star is a magic weapon of the benefactor of Wuwei City, and I cannot give it to you."
Seeing Pei Yanzhou's dissatisfaction, the Duke of Wuwei, going all out, added again:
"If you really dare to break the Sacred Wax Stone in my Wuwei City, then go ahead and try. The deaths of fifty million people in Wuwei City will all be attributed to your Mo Family Divine Path and to you, Pei Yanzhou."
"And I, though I may not be able to protect these fifty million people, I can swear here."
"After Wuwei City is destroyed, I will spend the rest of my life slaughtering all your Mohist disciples and overturning all the Mohist temples in your Twelve Ziwei Cities!"
If the other party uses the people in the city to threaten, then the city lord of Wuwei can naturally turn the tables and threaten in return.
You want to die together with me?
Row!
Let's see who's afraid of whom!
As it turned out, Pei Yanzhou indeed dared not open the Sacred Wax Stone. The crime of causing the deaths of an entire city was too great for him to bear, nor could the Mo Family Temple, not to mention the pursuit of a half-saint from the Military Strategist Divine Path.
“I can promise you that if you return Senior Sister Gu first, I will not use the Sacred Wax Stone again. As for that magic weapon called Shattered Star, I will not ask you to give it to me, but you must not stop me from taking action.”
"No..." Just as the City Lord of Wuwei was about to refuse, Pei Yanzhou said again:
“I know that you, Lord Wuwei, are a man of great loyalty and righteousness, but I hope that you, the city lord, can think about the people in the city. Is a magic weapon more important, or are the lives of fifty million people in the city more important? I believe that this choice is not difficult.”
"Moreover, I don't expect you to hand it over voluntarily. I just hope you won't interfere. This condition is already very sincere. If you, Duke Wuwei, still refuse, then I'll have no choice but to fight you."
His resolute attitude left Duke Wuwei speechless.
He wanted to help Gu Xiu protect Sui Xing.
Can……
As Pei Yanzhou said, which is more important, the fifty million people in the city or a magic weapon?
Choose Shattered Star.
Fifty million people will become wronged souls. Even if Pei Yanzhou dares not activate the Sacred Wax Stone, the fifty million people in the city will likely no longer obey his orders and will no longer trust him.
But if we give up Shattered Star...
Duke Wuwei was somewhat hesitant to act. His protection of Gu Xiu was not only due to his inherent sense of righteousness and gratitude for Gu Xiu's help, but also because he had always believed that Gu Xiu was the key to breaking the deadlock and saving Wuwei City.
Although this feeling came out of nowhere, as a half-saint of the divine path, he knew very well that such a feeling could not have come out of nowhere, and there must be a reason for it that he did not know.
just now.
Two choices were presented to him, leaving the Lord of Wuwei City in a difficult position to decide.
"Hey, I'm talking about that guy up there who's dressed up as a birdman." But at that moment, Sui Xing suddenly spoke up: "Your grandpa Sui is still alive, do you really think your grandpa Sui is a pushover?"
These words were anything but polite, causing Pei Yanzhou to frown. He glanced at it and said, "If you know what's good for you, you should surrender now and not provoke me, lest you suffer when you fall into my hands later."
"You'd better hurry up and be arrogant, otherwise you'll end up like your companions when I get my hands on you." Sui Xing replied nonchalantly, while taking out the old woman's head again.
"Senior Sister!" Upon seeing the old woman's head, Pei Yanzhou's indifferent expression finally changed slightly.
However, as soon as he uttered the word "senior sister," his face was instantly filled with anger.
Because he saw it.
Shattered Star was extremely arrogant. He stepped on the old woman's head, and without saying a word, he conjured a huge, dark iron hammer and smashed it down on the head without hesitation.
The clanging of blacksmithing rang out again, accompanied by the old woman's screams.
And look at that old woman.
He's no longer the unruly person he was three days ago.
no way.
Although her head was incredibly hard, even Shattered Star couldn't break it, she could only passively take the blows. Moreover, although she couldn't die, she could still feel pain. Over three days, Shattered Star truly treated her like a magical artifact, forging her into something extraordinary.
The pain was so intense that she even contemplated suicide, and she dared not utter another provocative word.
"you wanna die!"
Pei Yanzhou's elegant demeanor finally crumbled, and he roared furiously, his eyes blazing with anger. At his roar, the mechanical beasts closest to the Shattered Star suddenly charged forward.
It was obvious that they wanted to take back the old woman's head.
The mechanical beasts that could get this close were basically carrying sacred wax stones. He didn't intend to use the sacred wax stones to threaten Suixing; he just wanted to use the power of his mechanical beast to teach Suixing a lesson.
As for the sacred wax stone carried by the mechanical beast, he wasn't worried at all, since he really didn't believe anyone would dare to break the sacred wax stone at this distance.
It's just that he doesn't know.
At this moment, looking at the mechanical beasts charging towards him, Sui Xing's eyes shone brightly, especially when he stared at the holy wax stones carried on the mechanical beasts, which were burning with desire.
The goal of shattering stars has always been clear.
Others may not know how strong Gu Xiu's fortune is, but how could he not know?
Meanwhile, Duke Wuwei's eyes lit up as well, sensing an opportunity to seize the Sacred Wax Stone.
If the robbery is successful, Pei Yanzhou will lose his means of threatening him.
this moment.
Each of the three had their own thoughts and ideas.
only……
Something unexpected happened at that moment.
