Immortal Emperor!
Upon hearing those two words, everyone gasped, their faces filled with deep fear.
Everyone present knew what the Celestial Emperor represented.
Thump!
Liu Likun was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Father...Father, you're not joking, are you? That person is...is the Celestial Emperor?"
Snap!
A slap landed hard on Liuli Kun's face; it wasn't Liuli He who slapped him, but the Madam.
"You unfilial son, you dare to offend even the Immortal Emperor! The Liuli family is going to be destroyed by you!"
No one would question Liulihe's words; a powerful being at the Celestial King level wouldn't lie.
A high-ranking member of the Liuli family asked in a trembling voice:
"Master, is there any way to salvage this situation?"
Liulihe remained silent for a long time, and the entire hall was deathly quiet. No one dared to make a sound, except for the sound of Liulikun's body trembling and his teeth chattering.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. He never imagined that his arrogance and ignorance would bring about the destruction of the Liuli family.
When the Celestial Emperor is enraged, a single glance from him can instantly annihilate the entire Glazed Universe.
The difference between an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal King is not just a matter of a single word.
"Dad! You have to think of something!"
Liu Likun said anxiously, "I'm even seeing a vision in my mind, where a giant hand crushes the entire Liuli Universe."
He was so frightened he almost screamed.
After a long silence, Liulihe made a decision. He stood up and said solemnly:
"Apologize as soon as possible!"
After saying this, he gave a few instructions and then, carrying Liuli Kun, led a group of high-ranking officials to Tangyu as quickly as possible.
...
At this moment, Ling Yun and his group, along with Nangong Chen and his group, finished their braised rabbit meat and left the restaurant satisfied.
Standing in the city center square, Ling Yun gave the instructions:
"The Great Wall of Stars is of paramount importance. Its function is not only defense, so construction must not be stopped."
Although the construction of the Starry Sky Great Wall is currently concealed by the Celestial Bottle, there's no guarantee that the Demon-Subduing Starfield won't discover it. We need to speed things up!
Nangong Chen said solemnly:
"We will strive to complete the construction of the Starry Sky Great Wall within one year."
A year is far from enough to see Lingyun. The Starry Sky Great Wall is easy to build, but the difficult part is to inscribe formations on it, which is a huge project.
"We're short-handed right now. Half of the cultivators have already gone to the stars to build the Great Wall, but that's the limit!"
Nangong Chen sighed.
Ling Yun patted his shoulder, comforting him:
"It's all about human effort; just do your best."
Just then, nine dragon roars rang out, and the imperial carriage sped towards them from afar.
Upon seeing the Kowloon palanquin, everyone narrowed their eyes slightly.
"Liuli Kun probably called his father over!"
"Golden Lion said in a deep voice."
Qiongqi and the Great Sage showed disdain:
"At worst, we'll beat up his dad too."
Nangong Chen immediately summoned the powerful figures of the Tang Domain to mobilize.
As the Kowloon palanquin landed, Liuli He and his son, along with the high-ranking members of the Liuli family, all jumped off.
Liuli He was carrying Liuli Kun in his hand.
"This...is this an apology?"
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, unable to detect any murderous intent from the Liuli family. Instead, their eyes were filled with flattery, especially when the Liuli family members looked at Ling Yun, as if they were mortals looking at a god.
The glass crane trotted up to Ling Yun, dropped the glass jar on the ground, and bowed deeply.
"Junior Liulihe greets Lord Lingyun!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Chen silently put away his carving knife, while Abao and Shangguan Hong put away their respective weapons.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that the head of the Liuli family would come to apologize in person.
Liulihe kicked Liulikun hard, then looked at Lingyun:
"Lord Lingyun, it's all my fault for not disciplining him properly, allowing this rebellious son to offend you. Now I don't want this son anymore, you can do whatever you want with him. If you don't want to dirty your hands, I'll take care of him for you!"
After saying that, he raised his palm and slapped Liu Likun on the forehead.
However, he deliberately slowed down, wanting to wait for Ling Yun to persuade him.
But even as his palm was about to strike Liu Likun's brow, Ling Yun remained silent, watching coldly.
Liulihe sighed inwardly and withdrew her hand, ultimately unable to bear killing her only son.
He looked at Ling Yun with a pained expression and said:
“Lord Lingyun! This is the only heir of my Liuli family. I know he has offended you and committed an unforgivable sin.”
"Please, I beg you, give him a chance to live. If you're still not satisfied, I'm willing to die in his place. My son is guilty, so I, his father, will take the punishment."
"Patriarch, you mustn't! You are the backbone of the Glazed Universe. Without you, the Glazed Universe is finished!"
"Patriarch! I'll die in place of this rebellious son. Anyway, I'm just an old man with no more years to live!"
"We are all willing to die, please Lord Lingyun spare the Liuli family!"
"..."
A group of high-ranking members of the Liuli family shouted that they would volunteer to die in their place.
"Lord Lingyun!" Liuli Kun knelt before Lingyun, tears streaming down her face.
"My lord! I was blind and didn't recognize your true identity. I deserve to die. I don't ask you to spare me, but I beg you to spare the Liuli family."
I, Liu Likun, take full responsibility for my actions!
If there is an afterlife, I will surely serve you as a slave to atone for my sins!
"Alright!" Ling Yun said impatiently.
"You're all acting as if I'm bullying your Liuli family!"
Liulihe was overjoyed. As long as Lingyun was willing to speak, there would definitely be room for discussion.
Immediately, the glass crane said solemnly:
"To show the sincerity of the Liuli family, I am willing to send 200 billion troops to aid Tangyu. From today until the end of the war, these 200 billion troops will be at the command of Tangyu."
No cost is required.
In addition, I will send over another 10 billion array masters and talisman masters. Do you think that's enough, Lord Lingyun?
Ling Yun didn't answer, but instead asked Nangong Chen:
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Nangong?"
Nangong Chen couldn't hide his joy; they were short of people.
"Enough! Enough!"
Ling Yun nodded slightly and looked at the glass crane:
"This matter ends here. I know you are interested in the origin of thunder magic in the Thunder Pool."
"Judging from the performance of the Liuli family, if their army performs well after the war, I will consider whether or not to share the essence of thunder magic with you."
Upon hearing this, Liulihe breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was overjoyed. The opportunity to obtain the origin of thunder magic was an incredible stroke of luck.
"Lord Lingyun, rest assured, our Glazed Universe Legion will absolutely cooperate fully and protect Tang Domain as we would protect the Glazed Universe itself!"
As he spoke, he picked up Liuli Kun and said seriously:
"Lord Lingyun, let this rebellious son serve you like a slave for a while!"
Liu Likun immediately spoke up:
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely serve you like a slave!"
Ling Yun glanced at Liu Likun and knew that Liu Lihe wanted to place Liu Likun in Tangyu as a hostage to show his determination.
However, Ling Yun couldn't possibly keep such a guy around.
He then looked at Nangong Chen and smiled:
"Dean Nangong is best suited to educating people, so let Young Master Kun be your servant."
Nangong Chen smiled slightly, "I promise to teach Young Master Kun a good lesson!"
