Chapter 2154: Chapter 2154: This Must Not Happen

“How could those people possibly be from Demon Heart Hall?” The Emperor of Beikun scorned with a twitch of his lip.

In his heart, he had always told himself that those people were charlatans, purposely invoking Wulong Mountain, Demon Heart Hall, and High Priest Demon Heart to scare him, so that he would stop setting his sights on the Yiinn Family.

“Those people are truly laughable, among them is one who even claims to be High Priest Demon Heart, surely a fraud, no doubt. How could the real High Priest Demon Heart possibly come to such a minor plane to advocate for a small aristocratic family like the Yiinn Family?”

State Scholar Qing: “…”

The Yiinn Family was truly the representative most able to speak for Demon Heart Hall within the Plant Plane. How could it be that the High Priest Demon Heart couldn’t personally come to advocate for them?

He was almost certain that if those people weren’t the High Priest Demon Heart himself, they must be his subordinates.

“Your Majesty, I believe you should prepare in advance. Those people should be the ones representing the Yiinn Family from below Wulong Mountain. If Your Majesty does not handle this matter well, it is very likely that the fate of Beikun Kingdom will be affected.”

He spoke out, wanting to warn the Emperor of Beikun.

With the power of High Priest Demon Heart, obliterating a kingdom would be as easy as lifting a hand.

And upon hearing his words, the Emperor of Beikun’s expression instantly turned sour.

“State Scholar Qing, what is the meaning of your words? Are you unwilling to take action? Just a few impostors, a simple gesture from you all could eradicate them. Why are you instead advising me? ”

He did not believe that those people were truly from Wulong Mountain, no matter what anyone said.

“Those people are just deceivers, I trust that once State Scholar Qing takes action, you will definitely be able to expose their true colors. How about this, State Scholar Qing, why not lead a few State Knights to the Yiinn Family now?”

“Your Majesty, this is not advisable,” State Scholar Qing shook his head.

What now? What else should they do now?

Over the years, they had done quite a few things for the Emperor of Beikun. Of course, even as powerful individuals who had become State Knights, they had never done anything utterly heinous or unjust.

He felt that he had already repaid the Late Emperor’s kindness to him sufficiently.

“We have yet to ascertain who the other party really is, Your Majesty must not act rashly,” he advised.

“It is precisely because we have not ascertained who the other party is that I want you, State Scholar Qing, to take action–to first figure out where they come from before striking them down, ensuring the Yiinn Family has no chance to recover,” the Emperor of Beikun stated directly.

The Yiinn Family was on the verge of falling into his hands; how could he possibly give up?

Those people wanted to use the reputation of Wulong Mountain to snatch away the Yiinn Family he had nearly secured; he didn’t need to think twice. How could he possibly agree to that?

“Your Majesty!”

Mentioning the Yiinn Family, State Scholar Qing felt even more outraged in his heart.

“I have long told Your Majesty that no one can touch the people of the Yiinn Family, lest anyone from the planes set their sights on them, or else it would inevitably draw the attention of the people from Wulong Mountain!”

Not even two years had passed and now the people from Wulong Mountain had learned of the affairs of the Yiinn Family and had sent people over.

How could the Emperor of Beikun still feel he has done nothing wrong even now?

“Now that the people from Wulong Mountain have truly arrived, Your Majesty should be contemplating a retreat, considering how to extricate yourself and Beikun Kingdom from this affair with the Yiinn Family, rather than continuing to confront head-on.”

“State Scholar Qing, that’s just a stunt by the Yiinn Family; those few people, they cannot possibly be from Wulong Mountain!” The Emperor of Beikun remained in denial, convinced that those people were actors hired by the Yiinn Family, and not worth mentioning at all.
