The Purple Phoenix Sect is unwilling to give up

The assassination crisis in Zixuan Imperial City has not yet passed, but another disturbance occurred in a distant place.

Located in a magical realm thirty thousand miles away from the Zixuan Dynasty, there is a flaming fairyland and a divine realm of Chongli. This is where the Purple Phoenix Sect is located, and there are countless jade pavilions scattered throughout the mountains of this divine realm.

The Purple Phoenix Sect, as the top force in the Shenwu Human Clan, has more than tens of millions of disciples.

The highest peak in the divine realm is the supreme Zifeng Palace within the sect.

Gu Lu, the leader of the Purple Phoenix Sect, and the senior elders of the Martial Emperor were discussing matters behind closed doors.

The atmosphere in the palace was dull.

"An important news came from Elder Zhou of the Zixuan Dynasty. The assassins of Tianzhu Pavilion failed. Twenty assassins launched the Tianzhu Revolving Blade Formation to besiege Ye Fan. In the end, four died, one was imprisoned, and fifteen people escaped, unable to It won't hurt Ye Fan at all."

Gu Lu sat high on the sect leader's throne, looking deeply at the senior elders of the Martial Emperors.

"Hmph, what a bunch of trash! Twenty Martial King-level assassins can't kill one Martial King!"

"If we had known this, why would we have paid a lot of money to hire the assassins from Tianzhu Pavilion! We didn't even eat the mutton, and we got into trouble. If anyone knew that we had a deal with the assassins from Tianzhu Pavilion, our reputation would be ruined. "

The Purple Phoenix Sect wanted to kill Ye Fan, but they didn't want to do it themselves to avoid a direct conflict with the dynasty.

It just so happened that the Nanzhou Beast Alliance also had this intention and had been keeping an eye on Ye Fan for a long time. However, it was difficult for them to take action because they did not have enough intelligence cooperation in the Dongzhou Dynasty.

Although the Beast Alliance and the Purple Phoenix Sect are incompatible enemies between humans and beasts, they are highly consistent in eradicating Ye Fan. They hit it off immediately. One side provided money and information, and the other provided people. They dispatched assassins from Tianzhu Pavilion to plan this incident. Assassination operation.

"You can't blame Tianzhu Pavilion for its incompetence. Ye Fan is known as the legendary King of Martial. He once defeated fifteen imperial guards in Void Mountain. Everyone knows it. King Wu wants to deal with him. It is really difficult for King Wu to deal with him with just this number of people. A little more. Unless he is the Martial Emperor, it will be difficult to kill him in a short period of ten breaths. However, no assassin organization is willing to send out a Martial Emperor to assassinate a Martial King. This is too shameful. Unless our Purple Phoenix Sect dispatches My own Martial Emperor——However, this may cause the Zixuan Dynasty to fall out with me and the Purple Phoenix Sect, which requires taking huge risks. Now is the time of the Millennium War, and if there is obvious internal strife between the two major forces of the human race, I am afraid that it will not OK!"

"It doesn't make much sense to say this now. We must find a way as soon as possible to bring Gu Xinyue back to the sect!"

"Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue, one is Yinzu Martial King and the other is Fengzu Martial King, both have extremely noble blood heritage. If the two of them stay in the Zixuan Dynasty for a long time, once one of them is promoted to Martial King , then it would be difficult for our Purple Phoenix Sect to bring Gu Xinyue back to the sect. Gu Xinyue's Phoenix Ancestor bloodline is very beneficial to strengthening our Purple Phoenix Sect's bloodline, and we must do everything possible to bring her back .There are two plans now. One is to kill Ye Fan and make Gu Xinyue give up. We have plenty of time to find a way to persuade him to return to the sect. The second is to send someone to force Gu Xinyue back to the sect. But The first option has failed and the cost is too high. At present, we can only consider the second option."

The elders of the Purple Phoenix Sect were talking about it, but they all felt a strong crisis.

The Purple Phoenix Sect has never suffered defeats one after another at the hands of a Martial King. In addition, when Gu Huo went to the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods to invite Gu Xinyue to return to the sect, and when Gu Nanyang led a large team of King Wu to intercept the Beast King Pavilion, things never went smoothly.

If they continue to do nothing, the Purple Phoenix Sect is afraid that they will eventually lose Gu Xinyue and a precious high-concentration Fengzu bloodline inheritance.

"Do you think they have any chance of becoming the Martial Emperor within a few decades?"

"Under normal circumstances, the probability of a Martial King becoming a Martial King is less than one in a thousand. But the blood potential of the two of them is too great, and the possibility of advancement is more than a hundred times higher than that of an ordinary Martial King, at least more than a 10% chance, and maybe even more High. It is estimated that there is a 30 to 40% chance that one of the two will become a Martial King. Moreover, the speed of cultivation of the two is also very amazing and cannot be judged based on the experience of ordinary Martial King."

"In this case, we can't delay it any longer. Gu Xinyue must be returned to the sect within three years! Implement the second plan and find a way to bring Gu Xinyue back to the sect."

Immediately, Elder Wuhuang said loudly.

"Will the Dynasty make friends?"

Elder Wuhuang was also confused.

If it were someone else who didn't matter, Zixuan Dynasty might agree. But this matter involves an important person named Ye Fan. If the Zixuan Dynasty does not want to offend Ye Fan, the possibility of making contact with him is extremely slim.

"We, the Purple Phoenix Sect, signed a criminal extradition agreement with the Zixuan Dynasty, and handed over each other's prisoners. Do the dynasties want to tear up the agreement?! In the name of our Shenwu Zihuang Sect, we will make formal representations to the Zixuan Dynasty to use the 'Gu Xinyue Rebellion' Zong, seriously injured my Purple Phoenix Sect young sect Gu Huo' in the name of asking the dynasty to hand over Gu Xinyue! I am the majestic Purple Phoenix sect, one of the seven divine martial sects. Doesn't the dynasty know our weight? We uproot our hair, and also Thicker than that kid Ye Fan!"

An elder came up with an idea and snorted coldly.

"Forget it, let's give it a try. According to the order of the sect leader, Zhou Mi will be given 10 million yuan stones as funding to lobby in the dynasty to persuade the courtiers to support him. And bring the extradition negotiation documents to see Emperor Zixuan Ji Xin."

Gu Lu pondered for a long time and nodded in agreement.

But in his heart, he still felt that the chance of success was not high.

That kid is not a simple person. How much price can the Purple Phoenix Sect pay to compare with a Mammoth Corps, a legendary Martial King, or even a legendary Martial King in the future? !

Once Ye Fan becomes the legendary Martial Emperor, I am afraid that the entire Purple Phoenix Sect will not be able to compare with his value.

…

A few days later, Elder Zhou Mi of the Purple Phoenix Sect stationed in the imperial city received an important secret letter from Gu Lu, the leader of the Purple Phoenix Sect, instructing him to act according to the plan. He immediately felt confident and rushed to the palace.

royal palace.

Above the Forbidden Palace.

Emperor Ji Xin summoned all ministers to discuss government affairs.

Zhou Mi, as the special envoy of the Purple Phoenix Sect, ascended to the palace and conveyed a negotiation document from the Purple Phoenix Sect to Emperor Zixuan Ji Xin face to face. He listed Gu Xinyue's several major crimes such as "treason against the sect and hurting others" and demanded that the dynasty proceed according to the bilateral agreement. An agreement was made to hand over the prisoner to the Purple Phoenix Sect.

The ministers couldn't help but talk about it.

Zhou Mi bowed to the ground, handed over the negotiation documents with both hands, raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor! Because over the years, criminals from the dynasty have fled to the sect, and criminals from the sect have fled to the dynasty. There are still people from the dynasty in the sect. Commit crimes, abscond back to the dynasty, etc. Therefore, there was an extradition agreement between the Zixuan Dynasty and the seven major sects of Shenwu. If the sect commits a crime and escapes to the dynasty, or a member of the dynasty commits a crime in the sect, he must be handed over to the sect for disposal. We, the Purple Phoenix Sect, request that the felon Gu Xinyue be extradited to the Purple Phoenix Sect for trial in accordance with the extradition agreement. Please allow the Emperor's permission!"

Ji Xin's face was deep, and she looked coldly at Zhou Mi, the special envoy of the Purple Phoenix Sect who was prostrate on the ground, without saying a word.

He was extremely angry.

The assassination of Ye Fan is closely related to the Purple Phoenix Sect. He is either the mastermind or an accomplice. It's just that there is no direct evidence of the Purple Phoenix Sect, and there is nothing that can be done about the Purple Phoenix Sect.

The assassin's case has not yet been closed.

Unexpectedly, the Purple Phoenix Sect went even further and openly asked the dynasty to hand over Gu Xinyue.

Gu Xinyue was related to Ye Fan, and handing him over would completely offend Ye Fan.

Regardless of this point, Gu Xinyue is still the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion. It is related to the Mammoth Corps plan that the Beast Emperor Pavilion is forming. How can it be handed over so easily!

Immediately, a minister sneered and said: "Humph, the Purple Phoenix Sect is quite beautiful. They want to send people away for a simple crime! If I say that a certain elder of your sect committed something in my dynasty, then the Purple Phoenix Sect is Don't you want to hand over someone right away?"

However, the forces in the court are complex and never monolithic.

Zhou Mi had paid a lot of money to many courtiers in advance, and some courtiers spoke on Zhou Mi's side, believing that the extradition agreement between the two parties should be abided by.

"Your Majesty, Gu Xinyue's crime of betraying the sect is unmistakable. Gu Xinyue's crime of seriously injuring Gu Huo is also unmistakable. According to the extradition agreement, such sinners must be handed over to the Purple Phoenix Sect for processing!"

"Ridiculous! She is so important, how can she be handed over!"

"When the emperor breaks the law, he is also guilty of the same crime as the common people! Gu Xinyue committed a serious crime, how can we still protect him? In the long run, our dynasty will be full of criminals."

All the ministers in the court were talking incessantly, their faces red and their ears red, and they kept talking for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the extradition agreement signed between our dynasty and the Purple Phoenix Sect is related to the reputation of the dynasty and must be abided by!"

Suddenly, Kong Jianqing stood up.

As soon as these words came out, the court hall immediately became silent.

Many courtiers looked at Kong Jianqing in surprise.

It's just others.

You should know that Kong Jianqing is a cabinet scholar, but he is a close confidant of His Majesty and works exclusively for the emperor. Why did he side with the Purple Phoenix Sect this time?

Ji Xin's face also darkened, wondering what Kong Jianqing meant by this move.

"But! According to Article 173 of the extradition agreement signed by the Imperial Dynasty and the Purple Phoenix Sect, criminals who have committed crimes in the local area must be investigated first before they can be transferred."

Kong Jianqing was unhurried and added, "Recently, I have received a large number of reports from the people of the Imperial City. In recent months, the Beast Emperor Pavilion has been involved in seventy-eight cases of indulging in beasts, trampling and destroying surrounding farms and rice fields, and maliciously owed merchants fifty-fifty dollars." Seven cases, thirty-seven cases of malicious tax arrears, wanton illegal construction, etc., more than thirty cases of mammoth damage to roads and houses...' and hundreds of other crimes, Gu Xinyue herself has an unshirkable responsibility as the master of the pavilion. I am deeply abhorred by such acts. The Beast Emperor Pavilion is so arrogant and domineering, and has committed so many crimes in such a short period of time. It must be strictly investigated. As a cabinet scholar, I request the Ministry of Justice of the Imperial Court to report hundreds of cases reported by the people of the Imperial City. Each case will be investigated one by one and verified one by one. She shall not be handed over to the Purple Phoenix Sect for extradition until all the crimes committed by the Zixuan Dynasty are investigated."

Kong Jianqing smiled at Zhou Mi and said, "Special Envoy Zhou, I'm sorry, I have to keep you waiting for a while. It may take a little long!"

There was dead silence in the court.

Kong Jianqing's sap was so cruel that all the ministers were speechless. Gu Xinyue committed a crime in the Purple Phoenix Sect, but it was also a crime committed within the dynasty!

"this..."

The special envoy of the Purple Phoenix Sect, Zhou Mi, opened his mouth wide and was suddenly stunned.

Kong Jianqing actually used this trick and listed hundreds of crimes to Beast King Pavilion and Gu Xinyue in one breath. One crime would take a month to investigate, but even if it took decades to investigate, it would not be completed.

Wait until the investigation is completed before handing it over? …Don't be naive. Thousands more crimes will surely be committed during this period, endlessly. It would be easy for a force with tens of thousands of people like the Beast Emperor Pavilion to find fault.

Extradition?

Let's mention it a hundred years later, if the Purple Phoenix Sect has the patience.

Ji Xin's icy face almost burst into laughter, and she said seriously: "Zhunzou, the Ministry of Punishment has to work harder. After verification, report it to me for review. I also want to see how many crimes the Beast King Pavilion has committed in my territory." !Retreat from the court!"
