If I Don’t Die, I’ll Truly Be Invincible

Chapter 9 - Why Does Your Majesty Harm Me?

Chapter 9: Why Does Your Majesty Harm Me?

Astonishing!

Apart from astonishment, there were no words to describe the shock that Ye Ning’s words brought to people.

He dared to say such things!

Not to mention the entire court officials, even the six kings and Ji Mingyue, at this moment, were stunned!

Ye Ning said, “The Immortal Sect is ruthless, treating ordinary people as pigs and dogs!”

This was true.

The court officials and ministers resonated strongly with this statement.

Although they were all high-ranking officials, they were not detached from the common people.

After all, their so-called nobility was worlds apart from the immortals.

Therefore, they were very clear about the true nature of the Immortal Sect.

The true nature of the Immortal Sect was to be aloof!

Those without cultivation, whether they were scholars, farmers, artisans, or merchants, were nothing but ants.

Not even worthy of being considered a life.

If they were killed, so be it. Who cares?

Not all immortals were equally indifferent, but for most cultivators, once they embark on the path of cultivation, it signified a transformation of the hierarchy of life.

At least in their eyes, ordinary people had lost the qualification to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Ye Ning said, “If immortals do not die, great thieves will not cease!”

The six kings were feeling complex emotions. They leaned on the Immortal Sect and vied for supremacy in the world, appearing powerful, but in reality, they were just pawns.

How much of what they did, how many disputes they caused was out of their own intentions, and how much was at the command of the Immortal Sect?

If there were no Immortal Sect in the world, the gap between people would not be so vast.

Matters of ordinary people would be resolved by ordinary people themselves, instead of being manipulated like pieces on a chessboard by immortals.

Ye Ning said, “The Immortal Sect is the root cause of chaos in this world.”

On this point, Ji Mingyue could deeply relate.

As the Emperor of the Great Zhou, he naturally understood the history of his dynasty.

During the reign of the Great Emperor, the Great Zhou was prosperous, and the people lived in peace. Even the Immortal Sect had to obey the laws of the court and refrain from taking lives.

At that time, there was contention among the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the world was at peace, akin to a flourishing age of fire and oil.

Since the rise of the Immortal Sect, the world had been in turmoil, the people had been suffering, and the immortals had been causing mischief.

The laws of the court became useless.

The Immortal Sect even levied exorbitant taxes, demanding from both the court and the people. The amount required for their daily cultivation was astronomical.

And all these costs were borne by ordinary people.

Without the Immortal Sect, would the world be in such chaos?

Ye Ning only said three sentences, but these three sentences directly clarified the essence of the matter.

“This man is not only unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, willing to die without regret, but also has a sharp insight seeing through the flaws of this world. He is truly a remarkable talent. If he was born in the era of the Great Emperor, he would surely be a great Confucian of his time!”

“It’s a pity, he was born in the wrong era!”

“With these words, he is bound to anger the Immortal Sect. He is seeking his own death!”

Everyone was in awe.

For many people, they had never admired someone so much in their lives.

How dare you say such things? Then what else can I not accept?

They knew many of these truths but dared not speak them.

One must know when to feign ignorance, sometimes it’s better than being too clear-headed.

But in this world, there always needed to be someone to be a beacon in the fog, someone to be a firefly in the darkness.

A little warmth brought light.

Such people often died tragically.

Perhaps death was the prerequisite for becoming a hero.

“Outrageous!” He Yuan’s beard was trembling with anger.

He never expected Ye Ning to be so “rebellious”!

To criticize the civil and military officials and to criticize the six kings was one thing, but to slander the Immortal Sect!

The words spoken by Ye Ning could resonate with others, but could only provoke his anger!

Because he was an immortal, how could an immortal empathize with ordinary people?

In his eyes, killing ordinary people was like stepping on an ant. Who would care about the life or death of an ant?

If immortals collected taxes, it was justified. It was a blessing to be able to contribute to the Immortal Sect.

As for the state of the world, what did it have to do with them?

As long as the Immortal Dao prospered, it was a prosperous era!

“Spouting nonsense, die!”

He pointed his finger like a sword, directly sweeping towards Ye Ning.

A green light burst forth, exuding bone-chilling coldness and heading straight for Ye Ning’s throat!

This blow was fatal!

He wanted to use Ye Ning’s blood to demonstrate the majesty of the Immortal Sect!

“It’s coming, I’m finally going to die!” Ye Ning trembled with excitement.

Finally!

After so many twists and turns, immortals are reliable after all!

Sure enough, decisive action when it’s time to act.

When this brother becomes the Heavenly Emperor, I will definitely not forget you!

In Ye Ning’s heart, he admired He Yuan unexpectedly.

Come on, use your most ruthless means. Don’t spare me, come at me!

“Presumptuous! I will never let you harm Ye Qing!”

But at this critical moment, a cold shout was heard.

It was Ji Mingyue stepping forward.

He held an oil lamp!

The oil lamp had no wick, but it burned with a snow-white flame.

With a gentle blow, the flame shattered like fireworks.

When it reappeared, it was already by Ye Ning’s side, rushing up suddenly and obliterating the green light emitted by He Yuan!

“Hmm? Emperor’s Artifact?”

Everyone was shocked.

The so-called Emperor’s Artifact was an object used by the Great Zhou Great Emperor.

Because he was proficient in martial arts, anything he frequently used was imbued with his aura and contained incredible power.

It’s just that such Emperor’s Artifacts had been exhausted over thousands of years.

This was also because of the Immortal Sect. In order to suppress the sects, they forced the royal family to hand over a large number of Emperor’s Artifacts.

Many people thought that the Emperor no longer possessed any Emperor’s Artifacts.

Unexpectedly, there were still remnants!

The Emperor’s Artifact was a trump card. At critical moments, it could save lives. Ji Mingyue, who had hidden it for many years, unexpectedly brought it out at this moment and saved Ye Ning’s life!

This sacrifice was not insignificant!

But everyone could understand. After all, someone like Ye Ning was worth the Emperor’s sacrifice.

“Today, I and Ye Ning, monarch and minister, share humiliation. If the immortal wants to kill him, please kill me first!”

Ji Mingyue’s gaze was firm as he spoke word by word.

If you don’t betray me, I won’t betray you!

To anyone witnessing this, it was a moving scene.

The harmony between monarch and minister like this, passed down through the ages, would surely be an example for countless future generations to follow.

But for Ye Ning, who was involved, his nose was almost twisted from anger.

He stared incredulously at Ji Mingyue, as if encountering the most shameless betrayal!

Should I say FML or not?

I helped you, and you actually harmed me!
