No one spoke, and the silence lasted for a long time.
suddenly.
An old man with a long beard suddenly stood up. It was Zhao Chongyang.
His hair was gray and his body was covered in blood, but he gave off a chivalrous air. He said in a clear voice:
"Everyone, some of you may not know me. My name is Zhao Chongyang. When I was young, I was the leader of the Taoist Yuxu Palace. People still give me some face and call me the Taoist Master. Of course, more people call me a traitor!"

If I sacrifice the blood of an emperor to heaven today, I can slaughter all the people tomorrow to fill the pit—this is the devil's way, unworthy of the name 'righteousness'!"
"I don't care about the 'last will of the late emperor' or the 'secret plan of the royal family'. If anyone dares to sacrifice the human emperor and open some bullshit treasure, then first ask the Immortal Execution Sword in my hand, Zhao Chongyang!"
