Chapter 589: 272, even a true dragon has to lie down for me_3
Hou Yuxiao's words could very well be understood in reverse. His true thoughts naturally placed the Hou Clan at utmost importance; as for the life and death of these two individuals, it had nothing to do with him, nor did he care, but at this moment he was indeed attempting to persuade them with kind words, thus he switched to a different set of arguments in hope of convincing them.
Regrettably, his kind persuasion seemed to have had no effect.
A terrifying palm wind suddenly struck from in front, Jiang Yuyun had previously suppressed the Red Flame Army, and the three brothers faced a great enemy; their cultivation burst forth in an instant, each dodging in different directions. However, their strength was still too weak. Despite avoiding the palm, their bodies took a solid hit, their internal organs shaking, and they all sustained some injuries, more or less.
After landing, Jiang Yuyun relentless, the powerful aura emanating from her quickly overpowered them, and soon after, her ominous words followed one after another.
"It seems you still don't understand the situation. I am of high birth from the Great Yu Royal Family, in my veins flows the true blood of the dragon. Kindly, I offered you to serve me, and yet you dare to disobey? Could it be that you think, with the fall of Great Yu, you can show such disrespect to this Prince?"
Hou Yuxiao looked up at Jiang Yuyun without speaking, but a hint of coldness flashed deep in his eyes.
Jiang Yuyun failed to notice the chill in his pupils, and after a cold laugh, her expression grew more haughty as she continued, "I had originally thought you were a wise man, but it turns out you're but a short-sighted fool. Do you really believe that with the destruction of Jin by Great Yu, you will thereafter be able to rest easy in peace?
Great Yu has been ingrained in the hearts of people for more than three thousand years since the Divine Dynasty. You don't actually believe that 'Supreme Sovereign of the World' is just an empty title, do you?
The Eight Great Sacred Lands covetously forced Great Jin into making a heart demon oath to eliminate demons on behalf of 'concern' for the common folk of the world?
The moment Great Jin conquered the Divine Capital, it had become the target of public criticism, not far from its demise. The Eight Great Sacred Lands are currently using them to deal with the three Great Demons, and the moment this troublesome issue is settled, they will immediately turn and attack together."
"I, the last of the true dragon bloodline, need only to raise my arm, and not to mention Yangzhou, even within the ranks of various Sacred Lands, many loyal followers of Great Yu will appear. At that time, Great Yu will rise once more, reclaiming its dominion over the world!"
It was clear that Jiang Yuyun had held these words in for a long time, and now that she finally had the opportunity to express them, she spoke with fervor and animation. Hou Yuxiao, of course, understood her intentions and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and he began to reassess Jiang Yuyun's intelligence.
"By then, even ten, a hundred Hou Clans coming to pledge loyalty will not even merit a glance from me. But now, I am in need of people, so, I will give you one last chance. Tell me your answer!"
Hou Yuxiao watched the golden Holy Light slowly gather in Jiang Yuyun's hands, recognizing the threatening intent in her eyes. He took a deep breath, did not speak, and chose to reply with a bodily gesture, gently shaking his head.
This shake of the head also caused Jiang Yuyun's last bit of patience to dissipate completely. The golden Holy Light in her hand abruptly hurtled towards Hou Yuxiao's face, thereby definitively signaling the breakdown of their discourse.
"He who does not drink a toast will drink a forfeit. In that case, go to your death!"
At this moment, Jiang Yuyun's strength could conservatively be estimated at the peak of the Qiányáng realm, while Hou Yuxiao, merely a Heaven-level Great Grandmaster, even with those twenty thousand soldiers of the Red Flame Army, faced her had only the road to death. She never took Hou Yuxiao seriously, her plan was to kill him and then find another Family Head afterward; all she valued was the Red Flame Army.
However, before her golden Holy Light took effect, a terrifying aura erupted from within Hou Yuxiao's body, instantly changing the expressions of both Jiang Yuyun and nearby Jiang Yuli, while the expressions on Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuduan's faces froze for a moment, then were filled with ecstasy and excitement.
The Red Flame Army below, having yet to react to the drastic changes, along with the Hou Clan's more than hundred thousand soldiers watching the transformation happening to Hou Yuxiao's body in midair, their pupils also filled with excitement and exhilaration.
"Great Yu Royal Family, true dragon bloodline, even if you were a true dragon today, upon Hexi, within my Hou Clan's territory, you'd still need to lie down and submit!"
What do you think?
