C4541 The Situation Was Grim(part I)
This caused Sicheng Anle's heart to suddenly turn cold. He subconsciously took a step back, and the Spiritual Energy began to operate. It carefully wrapped around all the meridians in his body.1
"Lin Hao..." He cautiously asked, "What do you mean?"
"Is my meaning not clear enough?" Lin Hao smiled and patted his clothes. He stood up and stretched.
"As you said, I am just an outsider. Whether it is you or the Canglan Empire, it has nothing to do with me." Lin Hao pulled out his sword. The blade slowly slid down from the sky and rested on Sicheng Anle's neck. "Why should I listen to you and gain the trust of trash like you?"
His blade was terrifyingly cold. It slid across Sicheng Anle's neck like torture. His voice even had a hint of a smile.
"Even if I kill you and throw myself into the Demonic Beast, you won't be able to care about what I do, right?"
The Imperial Emperor suddenly frowned. He took a step forward and pressed his powerful palm on Lin Hao's shoulder. He couldn't help but shout softly, "Lin Hao, that's enough. Don't say anymore."
"They were wrong, but you are not someone who can be scolded. Don't let others feel dissatisfied with you anymore."
Indeed, Lin Hao didn't have any official position. If he really killed the people of Canglan Empire, it would be no different than declaring war with Canglan Empire. He would be blacklisted and hunted by the experts of Canglan Empire all over the continent.
However, Lin Hao would not do it. After all, Gu Qingming and the others had never done anything to him. Even though he was determined to stop the sacrificial ceremony from happening, his subordinates would still give him some leeway.
He was not a person who would repay kindness with ingratitude. He would not let go of the face of the Emperor and kill Sicheng Anle in front of him.
"Imperial Emperor, you worry too much. The blood of such trash will only pollute my sword. It's not worth for me to make a move."
Lin Hao withdrew his sword and cupped his hands towards the Imperial Monarch with a smile, then turned around and walked down the mountain, leaving behind a carefree figure for everyone. However, the expression on his face suddenly withdrew, and it transformed into an icy cold smile.
He'd remembered Sicheng Anle's name, and once the matter of the Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony was over... Heh.
The Imperial Emperor in the distance didn't stop Lin Hao from leaving. Instead, he sighed lightly and supported Sicheng Anle who was kneeling on the ground.
"I know all of you have grudges against Lin Hao, but don't forget. If it wasn't for his help, all of you might not have been able to live until now." The Imperial Emperor's tone was extremely sincere, causing Sicheng Anle's heart, which was filled with hatred, to tremble. He felt a trace of guilt that he had not felt for a long time.
However, when he thought of Lin Hao's actions, he suppressed the guilt in his heart and pretended to bow to the Monarch respectfully. He shouted sternly, "This subject understands that this is not the time to be entangled in personal grudges!"
"I, Sicheng Anle, am willing to lead three thousand elite soldiers as the assault team of Canglan Empire. We will go down the mountain and lend a helping hand to the Great Confucians. We will let the Emperor know that there are still talents in Sicheng's clan that can be used!"
"Alright." The Emperor praised in a deep voice, "As you said, I will give you three thousand elite soldiers. Follow Great Ru to defend the first line of defense!"
"Everyone, don't decline anymore. Scout has already returned to the imperial capital. Very soon, there will be experts from the dynasty coming back to help. On the other hand, it's a pincer attack from the front and back. Even if there are ten million Demonic Beasts, my Canglan Empire will not be afraid!"
Sicheng Anle waved at him and respectfully left everyone's line of sight. His originally sincere expression had already turned sinister with just a twist of his body.
