I will definitely protect you

"Well said!"

Ji Mingyue praised loudly.

His tone was filled with joy and emotion.

The emperor had not mistaken Ye Ning.

He was a true gentleman and hero!

There was nothing that could compare to sacrificing one's life to gain sincerity.

Ye Ning's choice made Ji Mingyue feel heavy, but it also made him feel a little ashamed.

In Ye Ning's words, he would repay the emperor's grace and die for the emperor.

But in reality, Ji Mingyue had long forgotten about Ye Ning.

This was not his fault either.

For the emperor, who was high above, selecting talent through imperial examinations, how could he remember them all?

Although Ye Ning passed the imperial examinations, he did not rank highly, and did not come from a noble family, so it was normal not to be remembered.

"He served and forgot himself for me, yet I don't even know his name until today."

Ji Mingyue bit his lip, his emotions becoming even more complicated.

He made an important decision.

"He did not let me down, and I will not let him down. Even if it means risking everything and not needing the imperial throne, today I will definitely protect you!"

The decision was reckless.

As the Emperor, Ji Mingyue was obligated to consider the interests of the empire, and personal feelings should not have been amplified.

However, he made the decision anyway, letting his emotions win over reason.

In his mind, if he couldn't protect someone as loyal as Ye Ning, then what was the point of his sitting on the throne?

"Truly wise words."

Cao Meng murmured, looking at Ye Ning with respect.

He sheathed his sword and returned to his position, closing his eyes.

He had no intention of participating any further in today's affairs.

Together, the immortal sects divided the Great Zhou, this was the common situation.

But it did not mean that there was no internal strife within the immortal sects.

There also were many grievances and border conflicts among the six kingdoms.

The Ascension Sect wanted to support the seventh kingdom, which was initially not a big concern for them, because behind the six kingdoms, each had their own immortal sect as a support.

Therefore, helping the Ascension Sect was only for the sake of the overall situation.

Now that they have done what they should do and said what they should say, the remaining issues were not their concern.

It was the Ascension Sect's matter, so let the Ascension Sect solve it themselves.

"My sword truly cannot bear to kill a righteous person!"

Cao Meng closed his eyes tightly, but feeling complicated inside.

Today, he met a genuine hero and felt relaxed.

Among the six kingdoms, the Wei Kingdom had the strongest military force, and the position of the Wei Kingdom's King was also the highest.

The other kings also saw him retreat and followed suit, without needing anymore words.

After all, they had all tried their best and even provided an explanation to the Ascension sect.

Whether this matter could be resolved or not couldn't entirely rely on them, right?

Moreover, deep down, they were not necessarily willing to see the appearance of the seventh kingdom.

One more kingdom meant one more competitor.

The atmosphere was silent and heavy.

The six kings remained tight-lipped.

Ye Ning was completely confused.

"What's going on?"

He blinked his eyes, not understanding what was happening.

"Aren't you guys all officials with the same disease in your heads?"

"I've tried my best to pressure you, showing off my authority like that, but why didn't you draw your swords and attack me? How can you endure this?"

"Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with you?"

Ye Ning was puzzled.

This couldn't be happening.

In this whole hall, was there really no one who could kill him?

Wrong!

There was still one person!

He thought of He Yuanyi.

It was true that civil and military officials are merely a group of insects bowing their heads and unable to do anything.

Although the six kings were arrogant, on the surface, the six kingdoms still obeyed the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the immortal of the Ascension sect didn't have any scruples!

The Immortal Sect is the most arrogant and proud group in this world.

Others might be able to tolerate it, but the immortal sect couldn't bear it!

"It seems that in order to kill me, it still has to be the Immortal Sect making a move!"

Ye Ning sighed inwardly.

As he had thought, the Immortal Sect was indeed unbearable.

At this moment, He Yuanyi was extremely angry.

The six kings fell silent, transmitting a signal of unease to him.

These six people also did not want to see the Ascension sect getting involved.

It was probably normal for the Immortal Sect behind them to think the same!

Anyway, with one more kingdom, the cake would have to be divided into one more piece!

"Don't try to stop my sect's plan!"

He Yuanyi was furious.

He approached Ye Ning.

The plan was going smoothly at first, but only because of this insignificant ant in front of them did it cause a risk!

"But even an ant wants to stop us?"

He Yuanyi made a direct threat.

What he did was just a simple matter, but if it failed, how could he raise his head in the sect in the future?

"Insignificant ant, hand over the seal jade, and I can spare you. Otherwise, your soul will be scattered!"

Each character was like a sword, extremely sharp, making everyone here feel cold all over.

Some were scared, even their teeth were chattering, and their legs were shaking.

"It's over!"

Liu Jin was desperate.

"Lord Ye should not resist like this. How can you resist the immortal sect?"

"Calm down, don't hurt him!"

Ji Mingyue was tense, suddenly stood up and tried to stop them.

But He Yuanyi acted as if he had not heard anything.

He stood high, observing Ye Ning, who did not seem to have any cultivation at all, and was nothing in his eyes.

"I will give you three seconds to think, if you dare to refuse, I will show you the high price of rejecting the immortal sect!"

As a immortal, he had many torture methods that mortals couldn't imagine.

It was enough to permanently trap others!

"Unfortunately, the arm still cannot twist around the thigh."

"If you offend the six kings, there is still a way out. If you offend the immortal sect, you will definitely die!"

"The prestige of the immortal sect cannot be violated!"

The thoughts of everyone in the palace were complicated.

Although they had previously taken a stance against Ye Ning, seeing him die still left them with some regret.

The real heroes in this world were still scarce!

"Haha!"

However, facing the pressure of the immortal sect, Ye Ning not only showed no fear, but appeared even more excited.

"The immortal sect is indifferent, treating mortals like pigs and dogs!"

"The immortal never dies, and the bandit never stops."

"The immortal sect is the root cause of chaos in this world! You still want me to submit to you?"

His voice was serious and powerful, every word he spoke made the earth shake and the sky tremble!
