Chapter 649: Visitors from Daqian Palace
Mu Zi looked towards a certain place in the void with an indifferent expression, as if he had already noticed that someone was hiding there.
"Haha, your perception is really admirable!"
Hearing Mu Zi revealing his whereabouts, the man simply stopped hiding. A faint laugh was heard, and then the space slowly fluctuated, and a middle-aged man appeared.
The man was wearing a sky blue robe with a palace pattern on his cuffs, shining brightly. After he appeared, he faced Mu Zi and bowed slightly, saying:
"I am Han Xuan, the steward of Daqian Palace, and I am honored to meet Wu Zu."
There was a look of amazement in Han Xuan's eyes when he looked at Mu Zi.
As a steward of the Great Thousand Palace, Han Xuan carries with him the "Hidden Divine Mark" that can conceal the fluctuations of his aura. This holy object refined by the Immortal Emperor has a very good effect. Even though Han Xuan's strength is only at the late stage of the Spiritual Rank, if he does not take the initiative to show up, it will be difficult for the Immortal Rank Heavenly Supreme to detect him.
It is precisely relying on this powerful stealth ability that the deacons of Daqian Palace can roam around the world and their concealment when performing tasks is guaranteed to the greatest extent.
However, the beautiful woman in white in front of him was able to see through his whereabouts easily. This ability was worthy of a powerful existence that could defeat the "Emperor of a Hundred Battles".
"It turned out to be Deacon Han."
Hearing the man introduce himself, Mu Zi's eyes fluctuated slightly. She had just suppressed the War Emperor not long ago, and now people from the Daqian Palace came to her, it was hard not to make some associations.
"Are you here to fight the Emperor?" Mu Zi asked straight to the point.
Seeing this, Han Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to be so direct. This straightforward style made the remarks he had prepared before useless.
"Haha," Han Xuan chuckled, and then nodded indifferently under Mu Zi's gaze.
"That's right. I came here this time to convey a message to Wu Zu on behalf of Da Qian Palace, hoping to mediate the conflict between you and the War Emperor."
"I think the conflict should have been resolved." Mu Zi said this without changing her expression. Hearing this, Han Xuan's mouth twitched a few times. Yes, now that you have captured the person, the conflict must have been resolved.
"Da Qian Palace hopes that you can handle it with care. After all, the War Emperor is a powerful Heavenly Supreme. It would be a waste to suppress him in this place."
Han Xuan glanced at Mu Zi cautiously, and seeing that she looked calm, he continued:
"Right now, the evil tribe outside the domain is strong, and it is the time to use people. It is better to let the War Emperor go and let him fight against the evil tribe outside the domain, and he can also contribute to the results of the battle."
When Han Xuan said this, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He turned his head and saw a little girl in black clothes not far behind Mu Zi, looking at him expressionlessly.
"You want to let him out?"
Ling'er looked at the middle-aged man in blue robe with an unhappy expression. Sparing the life of Emperor Zhan was already letting him off the hook. Now he actually wanted to go a step further and cancel the limited-term prison sentence. This was a bit too much.
Being stared at by Ling'er's calm eyes, Han Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure, causing a trace of cold sweat to appear on his body. He immediately opened his mouth and said:
"It's just a suggestion, haha. I hope you can show some mercy for the sake of Daqian Palace."
"Then why don't you just do my mother's thing and not care about this matter?" Seeing Han Xuan moving out of Daqian Palace, Ling'er snorted softly.
Now that the words have been spoken, everyone in the world knows that the Martial Ancestor fought and suppressed the War Emperor for ten years. How could he change his orders overnight?
What? Daqian Palace's face is face, but Wu Zu's face doesn't need to be considered?
Facing the little girl's sharp gaze, Han Xuan was speechless. From his point of view, he certainly didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the War Emperor was registered in the Daqian Palace after all, otherwise he might not have come today.
"I am just conveying the advice of Daqian Palace. You can decide whether to accept it or not. Daqian Palace will not interfere." Han Xuan said in a calm tone, neither hurried nor slow.
In fact, Daqian Palace's attitude towards this matter was not tough, otherwise it would not have sent only Han Xuan, a deacon at the spiritual level. To put it bluntly, he was just a messenger, and the outcome of the matter had nothing to do with him.
Mu Zi calmed the somewhat dissatisfied Ling'er with a glance, and then moved her eyes to look at Han Xuan. After a moment of silence, she asked a question:
"Has the War Emperor ever fought against the evil tribes from outside the border?"
"How many Demon Emperors have you killed?"
Listening to Mu Zi's questions that went straight to the point, Han Xuan's eyes changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he slowly shook his head and told the truth:
"After being promoted to Heavenly Supreme, the War Emperor has never been to the border, let alone killed a Demon Emperor."
Han Xuan spoke the truth. During relatively peaceful times, although Daqian Palace would occasionally issue some conscriptions, they were not mandatory. In fact, the War Emperor had never responded to a conscription, so his contribution in fighting against the extraterritorial evil races was almost negligible.
"If that's the case, how can Daqian Palace expect such a person to fight a bloody battle with the evil tribes from outside the domain on the battlefield?"
Mu Zi said calmly that, in fact, although Zhan Huang was known as "undefeated in a hundred battles", the value of his record was not high.
"Over the years, the War Emperor has repeatedly challenged the Heavenly Supreme of the Great Thousand Worlds, earning him the title of the Emperor of a Hundred Battles. But if he is really capable, why doesn't he go to the battlefield outside the domain and fight those Demon Emperors?"
"By defeating one demon emperor after another, won't he be able to gain the reputation of a hundred fighters?"
"Could it be that the so-called War Emperor is just a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak?"
Mu Zi's voice was so powerful and her words were so to the point that it was difficult for anyone to answer.
It takes a lot of skill to challenge opponents who can surely win in the back of the world and make a great name for himself. However, why didn’t he bring back the head of the Demon Emperor?
If the War Emperor had really defeated a hundred extraterritorial Demon Emperors, Mu Zi would have admired him and perhaps would have ignored the latter's slight verbal offense, but unfortunately, the War Emperor did not have that ability, and his pride was not forged with blood and fire.
"Your Excellency has a point."
Han Xuan said frankly. After hearing what Mu Zi said, he didn't have much of a good impression of the War Emperor to begin with, and now there is not even a trace of good impression left.
Being domineering in the world is only effective among your own people and is not a real skill.
Even if we let this kind of person out, we probably can't expect him to take the initiative to fight a tough battle with the evil tribes from outside the domain.
Some people even think that if they encounter any special circumstances and surrender to the evil tribe from outside the domain, it will bring greater damage to the world.
However, Han Xuan was not familiar with the War Emperor after all, so he did not make any rash judgment. Perhaps the latter had other reasons.
