Chapter 27: Eternal Love
"How dare you! You are just a mere immortal? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Bai Zhi's expression was distorted, and he looked at Tang Yue sternly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Tang Yue was not afraid at all, her heart was filled with hatred.
Seeing the murderous look flashing across Bai Zhi's eyes, Ling Xi protected Tang Yue behind him.
Tang Yue has a fierce temper, so don't let Bai Zhi target her.
Before Tang Yue continued to speak, Ling Xi continued, "Fox Lord, my sister is right. Bai Qian and Li Jing are in love with each other. This is an indisputable fact. And, it's not just this crime. Bai Qian committed so many sins before she went to Kunlun Xu to learn martial arts. Fox Lord, you must know that. If Fox Lord wants Bai Qian to inherit Donghuang, then I'm here to tell you that my Su Jin clan absolutely disagrees."
Ling Xi emphasized the word "Mr. Fox" so that others could hear it clearly.
Only then did everyone remember that, yes, only Emperor Donghua could be called the Emperor, but in recent years, everyone in the world would call Bai Zhi the Fox Emperor when he was mentioned.
What does Mr. Fox want to do?
"Yeah, we don't agree either." The other combat units all spoke up, agreeing with Ling Xi.
Why do the foxes occupy such a large territory, leaving their thirty-six tribes with no place to train their troops?
At this point, Ling Xi paused, looked at Bai Zhi with a subtle expression, and continued: "Also, for tens of thousands of years, the Fox Clan has relied on its control over the Five Wastelands to bully others, act recklessly, and suppress other clans in the Five Wastelands. I'm sure the Fox King doesn't know this."
Ling Xi smiled, very understanding: "It's okay, Fox Lord doesn't know, I sorted it out for you."
As he spoke, Ling Xi took out a booklet from his sleeve, two copies in total.
She handed the booklet to Chonglin, and then gave one copy to the Emperor and one to the Heavenly Lord.
Donghua didn't know that Ling Xi had prepared this thing, which was indeed a huge harm to Bai Zhi.
However, Bai Zhi was afraid that he would hate her.
Donghua was right. Bai Zhi started to panic when he heard what Ling Xi said.
How could he not know what the fox clan had done? It was just that he had long regarded the Five Wildernesses as his own territory, otherwise others would not call him the Fox Emperor instead of the Fox Lord.
He looked at Ling Xi viciously. He should have gotten rid of the two women from the Sujin clan earlier.
Donghua opened the booklet and was shocked when he saw it.
Little did he know that this group of foxes had made so many mistakes.
Relying on their status as a fox clan, they think others are superior to them, wantonly rob the territories and resources of other clans, bully others, and privately kill talented and capable young people from other clans.
What's even worse is that Bai Qian often uses ignorance as an excuse to cause trouble everywhere.
Either she picked other people's life-saving elixirs before they were mature, resulting in them being incurable, or she accidentally broke into someone's retreat, causing them to fail in their breakthrough and make no further progress. Or else, she stole other people's things, took a look at them, and then threw them away at will. However, the things she stole were all vital to others.
Donghua finally understood why Zheyan's merits were consumed so quickly.
All these sins and causes and consequences fell on Zheyan because of Bai Qian's words "Zheyan is the God in the Ten-mile Peach Forest".
Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise Zhe Yan’s merits would be exhausted sooner or later, and he would become a demon sooner or later.
The more pages he read, the angrier Donghua became.
The Heavenly Monarch was also filled with anger. Without his knowledge, the Fox Clan actually ignored the Heavenly Rules and Regulations. They did not take his Heavenly Clan seriously and did not take him, the Heavenly Monarch, seriously.
"Bai Zhi, you are a Fox Lord, you are really dedicated to your duties. I dare say that the Five Wastelands are all your Bai family's personal land? Where do you put me, the Emperor?"
Donghua's voice was very calm, but the pressure from him was getting heavier and heavier, and this pressure was specifically directed at the Bai family.
Bai Zhi felt as if the pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him, making him unable to move.
The gap in cultivation and the complete suppression made Bai Zhi feel as if he had returned to the days hundreds of thousands of years ago when he felt powerless and inferior.
At that time, Donghua, Mo Yuan and Zheyan were the three most dazzling people in the entire Water Swamp Academy. Mo Yuan was the legitimate son of the Father God, Zheyan was the adopted son of the Father God, and Donghua was the first disciple of the Father God. They didn't have to do anything and could easily gain the respect of everyone.
Only by studying hard in class can one get a good ranking, but Donghua missed classes all day long, and he could easily get the first place in the exam by just borrowing other people's notes and reading them. Some of the things he had worked so hard to get, they could get easily.
Only by following them can you get some attention from others.
Bai Zhi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said to Donghua, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is Bai Zhi's fault for not taking good care of these things. Please forgive me."
"Father." Bai Qian didn't expect that her father would be so afraid of Emperor Donghua. They had six supreme gods in Qingqiu and didn't have to be afraid of other clans at all.
"Father." Bai Zhen also looked at Bai Zhi in surprise.
Only Bai Yi remained silent, with a hint of shame flashing across his serious face.
Donghua tapped the table with his fingers. "So, you admit all these crimes? You also admit your daughter's fault?"
Bai Zhi's face turned red and then green, complex and twisted emotions flashed across his face quickly and continuously, and finally turned into false shame.
"Yes, Emperor."
Bai Zhi seemed to have accepted his fate, and his whole body showed a dejected look.
All the evidence is here, Bai Zhi knows there is nothing he can do unless they admit it.
He could see that these people wanted to take back some territory, fearing that Qingqiu's long-term occupation of the Five Wildernesses had made them feel threatened.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the things he did in secret are not discovered, and as long as he has future plans, this world will eventually belong to their Bai family.
"But, Your Majesty, I wonder if you can spare my daughter's life. From now on, I will lock her up in Qingqiu and not let her go out at will."
Bai Zhi looked at Bai Qian with "heartache" and put forward his request to Donghua. The father and daughter looked so affectionate that anyone with rich emotions would shed a few tears.
Donghua twitched the corners of his mouth, trying not to laugh in order to maintain his image.
Why act like a father and daughter are about to be separated forever? He won't kill them.
At least not now, but not necessarily in the future.
This was the first time Donghua experienced the concrete meaning of the word "exaggeration".
Or did Bai Zhi think that he would soften his heart when he saw the deep love between father and daughter?
That's how naive he is, he's a rock.
"Bai Zhi," Donghua said, "tell me, how do you plan to compensate the Celestial Clan?"
Bai Zhi bowed his hands and said sincerely: "We will agree to any request of the Emperor. This time it is Qingqiu's fault, and we will take responsibility."
Hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Donghua and Ling Xi both raised their eyebrows, with very similar reactions.
At this moment, the two people's thoughts were surprisingly consistent: Old fox, you said this yourself, you can't blame anyone else.
Donghua had already thought of what he wanted, and he was merciless at this moment. He said: "For the soldiers of the Celestial Clan who died this time, Qingqiu will compensate them twice the pension, and also compensate them with various cultivation resources. In addition, the East Wasteland, the North Wasteland, and the West Wasteland will be separated. From now on, they are no longer the territory of your fox clan. In addition, all the fox clans in these three wastelands will leave. From now on, all foxes can only stay where you are supposed to be. So, do you have any objection to my request?"
Donghua thought he was quite generous, as he left Qingqiu, Southern Wasteland and Southeastern Wasteland to Bai Zhi. Otherwise, he would have taken all the Five Wasteland and would not even leave Qingqiu to the fox.
Bai Zhi: “.”
This is not just asking for his opinion, this is asking for his life.
Bai Zhi never expected that Donghua would be so cruel.
But he had already said it himself and couldn't take it back.
Bai Zhi could only endure the frustration of wanting to vomit blood and accepted the compensation: "I have no objection."
