Chapter 111 110. Castle in the Sky!

Ye Qingcang doesn't like killing.

It’s just that killing is inevitable on the road to becoming stronger.

Due to various factors including Kong Deming's rebellion, the Holy Spirit Church's surrender, Mingde Hall's inaction, and several soul guide groups stationed in the surrounding areas being either wiped out or disbanded, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, only lasted less than an hour before it completely prostrated itself at Ye Qingcang's feet. This included the current old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, several princes who had survived the fight for the throne by taking the right side, and thousands of royal family members of different identities, all prostrating themselves at Ye Qingcang's feet, looking at him with different expressions.

There is anger and resentment.

There was shock and confusion.

But more of it is fear, also known as terror.

Next to these royal family members were a large number of captives who had obeyed the orders of the Worship Hall, laid down their weapons, and were captured by the Faceless Men. Among them were guards and soul masters. Like the royal family members, they stood there at a loss, looking up at Ye Qingcang in front of them.

Around these captives, the outermost layer.

A person standing on the ruined city wall guarding the important road.

The faceless man.

Kong Deming and all the Sun and Moon royal family priests who chose to surrender were also in this group, but they were at the front of the team, standing between Ye Qingcang and the Sun and Moon royal family, acting as a barrier.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all understand the current situation..." Ye Qingcang didn't have a long speech to introduce how thorough Orange's plan was, nor did he want to explain to these defeated men how they failed. He just wanted an answer now, because if nothing unexpected happened, it would take a long time to get the answer: "With Kong Deming's hard work for you, you are lucky to have another way..."

"Submit to you?" The old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire sneered. If he hadn't been wearing the imperial robe, no one would have thought that this old man was the ruler of a country. "I was blind and misjudged you. This is the biggest mistake I have made in my life..."

Poof! ! !

The hot blood spurted out from the neck for a full three feet!

It fell on the ground, making everyone feel cold to the bone!
Boom! ! !
Heads fell to the ground and bodies fell to the ground!
Like hammering a drum, shaking everyone to the point of collapse!

"First: Don't interrupt others without permission. It makes you look uncultured, especially since you and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Second, be careful with your tone. Indiscriminate words will only give you a reason to die. You must always be mindful of your status."

"third……"

Ye Qingcang's expression remained unchanged as he folded his bracelets, as if he had just killed not the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, but a chicken to scare the monkeys: "Since you want to die, there is no need to waste words. Time is a precious thing, and I don't want to waste it on a bunch of worthless things; however, since you have set this example for others, I will make it short: those who are willing to live, offer everything you have, and those who are unwilling to live, stand up now, and I will give you a quick death!"

Below, all the royal family members of the Sun-Moon Empire shrank their heads silently when they saw the old emperor die before he could even finish his words. Even the Queen of the Sun-Moon Empire, the old emperor's nominal wife, did not dare to fart when she saw her husband die in front of her eyes. She even dared not to scream to vent her fear. She did not lose control of her bladder, but her legs were weak, which was her last bit of stubbornness.

However, among the many people in the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, there are always a few brave ones. Even if the emperor died in front of them, they were more concerned about their own fate: "What does it mean to offer everything we have?"

"Literally, everything."

"Body, soul."

“And thoughts, too.”

"This is the price you have to pay if you want to survive."

If it was just a question, Ye Qingcang still had time: "In fact, there is no difference between living and dying with all your heart. Compared with the so-called slaves, you at most look glamorous... I even hope that you don't live with all your heart, because I don't like leaving myself with trouble. If you choose to die for your country, I believe my friends can worry less and don't have to guard against the remnants of you who may rebel."

"I want to live!"

"..."

"I do too!"

"..."

"Please spare my life, sir!"

"..."

"I'd give it everything!"

"..."

There are those who are not afraid of death, and naturally there are also those who are afraid of death. It is precisely because these royal members live a life of luxury that they are more reluctant to give up their lives and are more afraid of death, so they all kneel down and beg for mercy.

In sharp contrast to these royal members who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, there were a few royal relatives who stood there in silence. There were both men and women, young and old, but they were all mentally prepared to die, intending to use their lives to preserve the last bit of integrity for the Sun and Moon royal family, although such an action was meaningless.

However, not all of these royal family members who knelt down and begged for mercy were truly surrendering, and many of them actually planned to make a comeback.

Xu Tianran is one of them.

However, as a human being, you have weaknesses.

"This is a tube of nutrient solution that can completely repair body injuries." Ye Qingcang never does things that are both right and wrong. He has always believed that: human nature is more trustworthy than human heart, human heart is more trustworthy than interests, and interests are more trustworthy than friendship; three theories: "Even if the heart is broken and the brain is lost, as long as this tube of nutrient solution is dripped on the wound, any physical injury can be repaired as before... Xu Tianran, if you can persuade your sister Xu Tianzhen to surrender, this tube of nutrient solution will be regarded as my reward to you. In other words, anyone who can persuade Xu Tianzhen to surrender and let her give me everything before I take action can get this tube of nutrient solution; in addition, Xu Tianran, if you are still willing to give up everything you have, you can get the throne of the Sun and Moon Emperor. This condition also applies to others. Do you want to try?"

Xu Tianran has only two obsessions in his life.

One is the obsession with physical imperfections.

That's why he pursues power madly.

Another is the obsession with power.

That's why he uses all means to become stronger.

Ye Qingcang accurately grasped his needs and human nature. Even though he knew that Ye Qingcang might be teasing him, in the face of his obsession, he could only choose to believe Ye Qingcang, not to mention other royal members who were willing to submit to Ye Qingcang.

What, an emperor died?
Damn it, the sky is falling! What, re-elect the emperor?

Good thing the old emperor died!

This is human nature, something ridiculous and pathetic!
Even many royal relatives who were planning to die for the Sun-Moon Imperial Family were somewhat shaken. To put it bluntly, they were all diehard fans of the Sun-Moon Empire. Instead of letting a puppet who was a tyrant sit on the throne, it would be better to let those who truly cared about the Sun-Moon Empire sit on it. At least they could do something practical for the Sun-Moon Empire.

Besides, if you can’t beat them, just join them.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

It’s better than the demise of the Sun and Moon Empire.

So, when Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Feng Ling were escorted back by a dozen Angel Douluos in the Impure World State carrying the heads of a dozen Titled Douluos of the Holy Spirit Church, and when Juzi and Jiang Nannan arrived at the scene with Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Jing Hongchen, and two other ninth-level soul mentors from Mingde Hall, what they saw was this scene: a group of members of the Sun and Moon royal family who were willing to surrender used various means to persuade Xu Tianzhen to surrender. They were obviously their own people, but they were even more ruthless to Xu Tianzhen. They tried every possible means, even using moral kidnapping, just to fight for the throne of the emperor... But for Xu Tianran, he valued the nutrient solution more.

"See?" If Jiang Nannan learned the goodness of the world from Ye Qingcang, then Juzi learned the evil of the world from Ye Qingcang. Maybe Juzi couldn't beat Jiang Nannan in a serious business war, but she could definitely control Jiang Nannan's human nature. Although she was very reluctant to use such dirty means, the more she understood the dirtiness, the more she yearned for the ideal light. She patted Jiang Nannan's shoulder, saw through Ye Qingcang's means at a glance, and pointed out: "This is the ugly human nature!"

"Sister Orange..." Jiang Nannan pursed her lips: "I seem to have never really understood him. I want to be a friend who can help him, not a friend who is well taken care of and protected by him..."

"Silly sister..." Orange laughed dumbly. Stupid people always want to make themselves smarter, but smart people want to make themselves stupider. "What's wrong with standing in the light? Remember, no matter whether you are in the light or in the shadow, as long as you want to help him, as long as you are willing to help him, there is no distinction between high and low in any help. Just like the first time he sent me the nest of the faceless man, he told me the theory of yin and yang more than ten times: yin and yang complement each other, don't let reality sway your beliefs. You are you, and only you can decide what kind of person you want to be. He is afraid that I will be swallowed by excessive darkness, entangled in myself, questioning myself, and falling into endless and meaningless internal consumption. Therefore, no one is absolutely good or evil."

What Orange said was a bit confusing and unclear.

But Jiang Nannan is an educated person.

Business wars also involve a lot of human nature.

However, the human nature involved in business wars is not so much human nature as it is the gains and losses and pros and cons of choices covered with a layer of disguise. Compared with the dirty tricks that Juzi and Ye Qingcang learned, which are to manipulate people's hearts, to use open schemes from the first move, and to use human nature to check and balance human nature, it is much cleaner and brighter than pure.

But no matter what, Jiang Nannan has seen dirty people before!

A glimpse of the whole picture reveals the whole picture!
He nodded thoughtfully. Although he did not fully understand the darkness in Orange's eyes, he understood Orange's meaning and advice. He quickly reached a reconciliation with himself and did not fall into the trap of internal friction again.

But for others.

Their ability to accept things is not as strong as that of Juzi and Jiang Nannan.

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were relatively calm.

Jing Hongchen and others were not so calm.

When he saw the old emperor's corpse, he was stunned.

It was not until he saw Ye Qingcang walk up to him, accept the kneeling requests of Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Feng Ling, as well as the nods of the Impure Earth Titled Douluo such as Chen Jianjun, and the chat and laughter between Ju Zi and Jiang Nannan and Ye Qingcang, that the head of Mingde Hall finally controlled his emotions. He looked at Ye Qingcang with red eyes, bloodshot in the bottom of his eyes: "Did you kill His Majesty with your own hands?"

"I don't hate loyal ministers, but the premise is that he is loyal to me..." Ye Qingcang patted Jing Hongchen on the shoulder. Instead of comforting him, he poked his heart directly: "The dead cannot be resurrected. Sometimes, living requires more courage than dying. Think about your grandchildren and the billions of people in the Sun-Moon Empire. If you kill me, the Sun-Moon Empire will be completely unbalanced. Compared with this price, are you willing to risk the displacement of billions of people in the Sun-Moon Empire to avenge the people you are loyal to?"

Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth.

He felt the same vibe from Ye Qingcang as from Juzi. Although he was obviously not as strong as him, he used layer upon layer of humanity to manipulate him and forced him to be led by the nose.

I ask you to kill, do you dare?
You do not dare!
Because you are a smart person!
He is a smart person who knows the overall situation!

You are not restricted by me, but by yourself!

You have all the strength but you can't use it!
"People should look forward. Don't care about temporary gains and losses, and don't be impulsive." Ye Qingcang patted Jing Hongchen's shoulder again. Jing Hongchen didn't get angry on the spot. In fact, it meant that Jing Hongchen surrendered. He was not a person who liked to kill everyone. He took out a collar from his pocket and put it on Xu Tianzhen, who looked reluctant. Then, he threw the nutrient solution in his trouser pocket to Xu Tianran, who was so scared that he caught it with both hands. Then he waved his hand and asked all the other royal members who were willing to surrender to wear this collar. After the collar was hidden in the body to lock the soul, he took out a gem and threw it to Juzi: "This is the second-level control right, and the one above is the first level. You can leave a mental imprint on it and decide the life and death of these people at any time. If you die, the mental imprint will dissipate, and everyone will die."

Xu Tianran: "?"

Xu Tianzhen: “?”

The rest of the royal family: “???”

Ye Qingcang's move blocked all their escape routes. They had thought about pretending to obey, or even killing Orange, but if Orange died, all of them would die too. This meant that they could not use any tricks against Orange. In other words, if anyone among them wanted to overthrow Orange's rule, all the others would become this person's enemy!
You want to die, but none of us want to die yet!
Should they betray you and let you die alone, or not betray you and let everyone die? They believe that any normal person will make the right choice!

"You can also pay extra soul power to tamper with their memories." Ye Qingcang pointed to the sky. The Sky Chamber of Commerce is not a small chamber of commerce. Ten years of savings, one-third of the total income each year, are invested in building his branch base in this world, a branch base that is no worse than the Blue Tyrant Academy: "You can also activate special permissions and summon a skyfire strike... However, the disadvantage is that the flying stone in your hand can only provide one strike traction. If you want to restore this ability, you must go up and recharge at the largest flying stone; the sky city has optical invisibility, and the coordinates are crucial."

"Castle in the Sky?" Ju Zitui had put on his glasses again without knowing when. He looked soft and cute, and had returned to his harmless look. "It should be related to Nan Nan's Sky Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"That's right." Ye Qingcang nodded, activated the flying soul guide behind him, spread his wings, and gestured, "Shall I take you up to have a look?"

"Okay!" Juzi laughed, but did not forget to ask Jiang Nannan's opinion: "Nannan, can I go up and take a look?"

"of course can!"

Jiang Nannan spread out the soul guide light wings.

The bright yellow chip wings are so beautiful that they don’t look like a soul guide device at all.

As his own masterpiece.

It is also his own secret base.

The Castle in the Sky represents a lot of her hard work.

Juzi can chat with her and is Ye Qingcang's friend. Although Juzi claims to be Ye Qingcang's subordinate, no matter what, Juzi is one of Ye Qingcang's family members. It is not excessive to give her permission to go up and have a look. She is not so selfish as to do that.

"Xu Tianran?" Watching Ye Qingcang and Jiang Nannan taking off, Juzi took out a flying soul guide from the storage soul guide, installed it on his shoulder, and while spreading his wings of light, he took over the Sun Moon Empire and arranged the specific division of labor in the Sun Moon Empire clearly: "The appeasement work is handed over to you; Kong Deming is responsible for defense issues; Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, Feng Ling, the three of you, stand by for the time being and assist Kong Deming. I will give you a list of disloyal people later, and you go and kill everyone on it; Jing Hongchen, stabilize the emotions of the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy; Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen... If you two are interested, you can follow, otherwise, assist Jing Hongchen."

After that, he rose into the sky.

All that was left was a ruined imperial palace and the completely changed Sun and Moon Empire.
