Now the pressure is on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu wanted to unite the entire martial arts world to resist foreign enemies, but now you've gone mad.
Even if you are the emperor, once you go mad, you're mad. What right do you have to command the heroes?
"Who said the Human Emperor has gone mad? No! You're talking nonsense!"
Feng Jiu stood up angrily to defend Lin Yu.
"Heh, you won't admit it?"
The man with the goatee sneered, "Do you really think we're fools? The night you went mad, you almost killed Liu Jingwu, the president of the martial arts association! He was your student, and you didn't even spare your own student. What else could it be but madness?"
Everyone nodded in agreement; they had heard the news as well.
To be honest, they hesitated about whether to come, partly because they didn't want to get involved in worldly disputes, and partly because of Lin Yu's condition.
A mad emperor is truly terrifying.
Once he goes berserk, who can escape his clutches?
Even without the lizardmen taking action, the entire Great Xia Dynasty would likely be engulfed in bloodshed.
"I can vouch for Teacher Lin; she's not insane! That's a rumor!"
However, at that moment, an old man arrived at the scene with a proud and imposing air.
"Liu Jingwu!"
Everyone was surprised, because the newcomer was none other than Liu Jingwu, the president of the Martial Arts Association.
"President Liu, so you've come too. You've come at the right time. Tell me, what exactly happened that night? Who beat you so badly?"
The man with the goatee squinted and said, "You are the president of the martial arts association. You should prioritize the interests of all factions in the martial arts world. You must be realistic!"
Liu Jingwu's face was still somewhat pale. The injuries he sustained that night had indeed had a significant impact on him, almost ruining his entire martial arts career.
If Feng Jiu hadn't sent him the precious medicine from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, he would have been dead long ago. Furthermore, the fruit pit Lin Yu gave him years ago proved effective. It at least ensured he didn't die; otherwise, he would have been instantly killed.
He didn't hate Lin Yu. Although he was also wary of madness, a teacher is a teacher, and he couldn't betray his teacher. On the contrary, he couldn't stand idly by if someone challenged his teacher.
Furthermore, he believed that Teacher Lin was definitely not a madman; he was an invincible man, like a god, how could he be defeated by a demon?
"That night, Teacher Lin was indeed a bit off, but at the crucial moment, he managed to control his temper and didn't kill me!"
Finally, Liu Jingwu uttered these words.
Lin Yu looked at Liu Jingwu, feeling guilty towards this student. He was deeply moved that the student had forgiven him. In the face of matters of principle, some people can withstand the test, and Liu Jingwu clearly had.
"President Liu, thank you for your kindness. I know you are speaking up for me, but I am also a person who seeks the truth, and there is no need to hide anything!" Lin Yu said calmly.
Liu Jingwu's old eyes widened in surprise, "Teacher Lin, you..."
He was very anxious. If Lin Yu admitted to being insane, it would be a huge disadvantage here. It might even attract a group of people attacking him.
After all, there's always been a rule in the martial arts world: whoever goes mad must be killed without exception. Madmen are everyone's common enemy!
Sure enough, everyone's expressions changed after Lin Yu said that. Many people slowly clenched their fists.
People only care about their own interests. The Emperor's madness is far more dangerous than the Japanese invasion of Great Xia, because even if Great Xia falls, they will be fine, but if the Emperor goes mad, they will all die.
"As you all heard, the Human Emperor himself admitted that he is a madman. What do you all say? If we let this continue, his demonic nature will only deepen. We won't be as lucky as Liu Jingwu; we'll all probably die a violent death. Since that's the case, why don't we go all the way and follow the example of the six major sects, besiege Bright Peak, bury Lin Yu's head in Heavenly Pool, and send him to reincarnation! Hahahaha! It won't be too late for the Human Emperor to bring blessings to the human race in his next life! Ahahaha!"
The man with the goatee laughed wildly, pleased with his verbal victory.
boom!
Lin Yu made his move.
An invisible hand grabbed the goatee by the neck, silencing him abruptly.
"You, what are you doing? You are the Human Emperor, how dare you attack in public!" The goatee panicked. The reason he mocked so recklessly was because it was in front of everyone, and he was certain that Lin Yu would not dare to attack him in front of everyone.
But he was wrong. Lin Yu showed him no mercy and choked him so hard his neck was almost broken. A suffocating, near-death feeling enveloped his entire body.
"Moral blackmail?"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. "You instigated everyone to attack me in public, clearly intending to kill me. Now that I'm going to kill you, what's the point of your whining?"
"Then, if you kill me, wouldn't that confirm that you've gone mad?!" the goatee roared.
Lin Yu sneered, "I've never denied that I'm insane, but whether I'm insane or not, I'm still a citizen of Great Xia. Whether they submit to me or not is Great Xia's own business. What does it have to do with your little life? Today, I'll tell you right now, I've never indiscriminately killed innocent people since I went insane. Today, you're the first one! *snap*"
A crisp sound rang out, and the goatee's pupils widened in surprise.
It seemed that even on his deathbed, he couldn't believe that Lin Yu dared to kill him in public.
Doesn't he care about his reputation? Does he...?
There aren't so many "whys" or "what ifs".
He died with regret and resentment; that was his final fate.
The scene was completely silent.
This guy with the goatee is no ordinary character; he's at least at the Profound Realm level. For a Profound Realm expert to have his neck twisted like that is truly terrifying.
However, since it was a Japanese man who died, they didn't feel much about it.
The problem is that these Japanese are too arrogant and conceited, daring to provoke the Emperor in public.
Lin Yu glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "I hope you understand that people are divided by nationality. Even if there is no nationality, there must be a stance! Great Xia and Japan are nationalities, huge differences in ideology that have existed for a long time. These differences cannot be bridged, and the only way to resolve conflicts in the end is through war. As a contemporary soldier, I will only say one thing: We must die for our country! Furthermore, resisting the lizardmen is a stance, because if we do not resist the lizardmen, we will be gradually devoured. Even if some sects survive, they will eventually be reduced to an inferior race! Don't expect the invaders to treat you as human beings; this is a stance!"
Lin Yu coldly swept his gaze across the crowd and continued, "You are all pampered and detached people. Now that the nation is in peril and life and death are at stake, I hope you have thought this through!"
"Those who agree with me can stay; those who disagree, leave now! From this day forward, you are no longer a citizen of Great Xia, nor will you be under my, Lin Yu's, protection!"
Lin Yu said calmly.
He lured various sects to Changbai Mountain mainly for this purpose.
Filter out those with a stance!
Those who have no principles are not worthy of being called human!
