"Isn't your Yun'ao Kingdom afraid of provoking a war between our two countries?"
"Hahaha, you want to start a war between our two countries?" Emperor Yun Ao's tone was full of contempt. "Your Holy Kingdom stole our Qiankun Sword at the Divine Summoning Conference and caused us to suffer a crushing defeat. How much better can you be?"
"The Divine Summoning Tournament is based on individual ability, why should we give way to you?" Shi Zai Ren said weakly.
He may be the lowest in rank here, but he absolutely cannot lose in terms of presence!
"You lost, and you blame others for not letting you win? Did others let you win before?"
"You—" Emperor Yun Ao was unable to utter a single word.
Seeing that His Majesty was quite angry with them, Baili Tang immediately whispered a reminder from the side.
"Your Majesty, please don't fall into their trap."
"Right now, the Qiankun Sword is the most important thing. As long as we capture one of them and threaten him with his life, they will definitely hand it over!"
Emperor Yun Ao nodded after hearing this.
"You're the one who has a solution."
"You've been to the Holy Kingdom, who do you think we should arrest?"
Baili Tang had been waiting for His Majesty to say those words, and now that he heard His Majesty ask him, a cunning smile spread across his face.
His gaze then fell on Xiao Wanwan, who was standing next to Yao Qianshu.
Back when he went to the Holy Kingdom, he was teased by this child all night, and later the Qiankun Sword even listened to her.
I thought she could really control the Qiankun Sword, but who knew that the Qiankun Sword would just fly away in her hands.
Thinking of this, he sneered inwardly.
The youngest person with spiritual roots in Kyushu?
The pride of the Holy Kingdom?
"Your Majesty, the youngest child is the most favored among them. If you capture him, you will surely be able to retrieve the Qiankun Sword."
"are you sure?"
"Confirmed." Baili Tang's eyes were full of contempt.
He was determined to avenge himself and his son. He couldn't swallow the memory of how he had been humiliated in front of so many of his countrymen in the Holy Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yun Ao turned to Eunuch Huai beside him and said, "Bring the youngest child here to me."
After scanning the area, Eunuch Huai exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty... he's right in front of you..."
Everyone was suddenly startled.
Only then did they realize that Xiao Wanwan had already gone up the steps.
Ye Lanyin gasped in fright and cried out, "Wanwan, come back quickly!"
The child is only two years old and is usually mischievous. Although Wanwan is different from other children, she is still a child after all.
Ye Lanyin's journey to the Dragon Clan was fraught with difficulties, and she was filled with anxiety.
Although the little guy has spiritual roots, who knows if they will be effective at crucial moments.
Her eyes reddened, and she vowed that after returning this time, she would never let Wanwan go on a long trip again.
Xiao Wanwan called out to Ye Lanyin, "Don't worry, Mother."
Then he was dragged to Emperor Yun Ao's presence.
When Emperor Yun Ao saw that Xiao Wanwan showed no fear upon seeing him, his gaze grew even colder.
As the king of Yun'ao Kingdom, everyone from children to the elderly knelt down in awe of him.
"Tell me, where is the Qiankun Sword?" His voice carried a stern warning and murderous intent.
Xiao Wanwan pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
She genuinely didn't know that the Qiankun Sword had been lost after the Divine Summoning Tournament ended.
She didn't like such an ugly sword.
"You didn't know?" Baili Tang was shocked. "You didn't protect the Qiankun Sword properly?"
"I lost it," the little guy confessed honestly.
Lost?
Everyone present spoke in unison.
The loudest voice belongs to General Yao, who has admired the Qiankun Sword for many years.
He had been drooling over the Qiankun Sword in Yun'ao Kingdom back then, but now Wanwan says it's lost?
Baili Tang thought he had misheard. He rubbed his ears and asked somewhat timidly, "Say it again, where did you say the Qiankun Sword went?"
Xiao Wanwan thought they hadn't heard her clearly, so she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Lost!!!"
The sound echoed in the hall for a long time.
Emperor Yun Ao's fist was clenched tightly beneath his sleeve.
The Qiankun Sword was his last asset in his struggle against the Ouyang family. Without it, his throne might not be secure.
Now, this damn child is saying he's lost?
"Guards! Tie this child up and drag her outside. I want to use her as a sacrifice!"
Boom!
Ye Lanyin had just finished her previous thoughts when Yun Aodi's words once again stirred up her fear.
Ye Lanyin's face was as pale as paper, and she blurted out without thinking.
"No, arrest me! Use me as a sacrifice!"
"You?" Emperor Yun Ao glanced coldly at Ye Lanyin, who had no value whatsoever except for her pretty face.
"Don't you even know what qualifications you have to be a sacrificial offering in the Yun'ao Kingdom?"
"I arrested her... because she has spiritual roots. Do you have them?"
Ye Lanyin grabbed the Regent's hand, "What should we do? My husband, Wanwan can't die, she can't!"
The regent clenched his fists, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Put her down!"
Emperor Yun Ao slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the soldiers and landing on the Regent.
This man was aloof and exuded an undeniable aura of royalty; his every move was something no ordinary minister could achieve.
He guessed...
"You are the Regent of the Holy Kingdom?!"
The regent glanced at him indifferently without saying a word.
Baili Tang then realized that he had not yet told Emperor Yun Ao about the identities of these people.
Seeing that the Regent did not respond to Emperor Yun Ao, he immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, that person is the Regent."
"The other man standing next to her is their general, while the woman beside her is a divorced woman from the Holy Kingdom, the first woman in the Holy Kingdom to dare to divorce her husband."
