Chapter 462

"State Preceptor Shen, you are a great scholar, so you naturally have an understanding of etiquette and rules."

Gu Chen sneered and glanced at Yao Yufei. "Since she's here on behalf of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, she should have some manners. Do you think it's appropriate for her to call me by my name?"

"This …"

Shen Xudong was speechless for a moment. The current Gu Chen was different. His status in the Five-Race Alliance was equivalent to Huangfu Wuji's status in the court of the Central Plains, and it was indeed disrespectful for Yao Yufei to call him by his name as an envoy.

"The Gu Clan has really produced a Qilin's son."

Shen Xudong looked at Gu Chen's aggressive appearance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

On the surface, Gu Chen was dissatisfied with Yao Yufei's behavior, but in reality, he had a deeper intention.

The conditions that Yao Yufei had just proposed could be said to be poison to the Five-Race Alliance. It could achieve the goal of dividing the alliance, and this was also one of the reasons why the Man with a Bamboo Hat had sent them here.

However, Gu Chen had easily dispelled the illusions of the leaders of the alliance and made them face reality again.

Not only that, he was wantonly humiliating Yao Yufei, and she was representing the Man with a Bamboo Hat, so she was actually humiliating the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

Although this child was only eighteen years old, his intelligence was already monstrous.

"How good would it be if we weren't in this kind of environment?"

Shen Xudong lamented in his heart. The other party was his grandson, and he was also extremely intelligent. If they weren't enemies, he would definitely teach him everything he knew!

If this child's intelligence and ability were used to help the common people, he would definitely bring great contributions to the Central Plains and even the entire human race!

"Your Majesty the Sky Emperor is right. It was indeed Saintess Yao who was rude first."

Shen Xudong sighed and didn't dare to plead for Yao Yufei anymore.

"State Preceptor Shen is indeed reasonable, and I'm not a bloodthirsty person. Since Yao Yufei is the envoy of your army, I'll spare her life and just give her a little punishment."

Gu Chen said indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the many envoys changed again.

Weren't those two slaps considered punishment?

"This Gu Chen is getting more and more ruthless."

Mu Ziyu secretly clicked her tongue. Although she didn't like Yao Yufei, she didn't expect Gu Chen to be so ruthless.

"Hong Ying, cut off her hair as punishment."

Gu Chen looked at Ji Hongying, who was holding Yao Yufei, and said coldly.

"Understood!" Ji Hongying immediately made her move. Her hands turned as red as branding iron as she grabbed the back of Yao Yufei's head.

"No! No! Gu Chen, you can't! "

Yao Yufei panicked and struggled with all her might, but she couldn't move at all.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air in their hearts. Shaving her hair sounded like a very small punishment, but Yao Yufei had the ultimate organ, the Snake Demon Hair. All her abilities lay in her hair!

What Ji Hongying was doing now was clearly not as simple as cutting off her hair. She was digging out her organs!

"Oh no! Yao Yufei, that idiot. She had to provoke the Overlord in his territory! "

That Dark Guard really wanted to save Yao Yufei because she was one of the sacrificial children that the Man with a Bamboo Hat thought highly of. If she was crippled, the Man with a Bamboo Hat would definitely blame him.

But he was being watched by a group of death gods. What could he do? He could only curse Yao Yufei for not knowing how to appreciate favors and taking the initiative to provoke trouble!

In front of everyone, Yao Yufei's Snake Demon Hair was forcefully pulled out. Not only was her beautiful appearance gone, but even her head was riddled with holes.

After the punishment, Gu Chen let her go and looked at Shen Xudong again.

"State Preceptor Shen, envoys, do you have anything else to say here?"

Gu Chen's words caused everyone to fall silent. Yao Yufei, who had just spoken, had ended up in such a miserable state. Who would dare to say anything that didn't appreciate favors?

Many of them were originally asked by the Man with a Bamboo Hat to come and persuade Yao Yufei to surrender. Actually, they were not willing to do so, so they might as well not say anything.

"Your Majesty Sky King, I hope you can carefully consider the proposal just now!"

However, Shen Xudong was a stubborn person. Knowing that it was not the right time, he still stubbornly said.

"The Old Man knows that empty words are no proof, but if Your Majesty Sky King can put the people of the world first, the Old Man promises to do my best to make my Emperor abide by the promise!"

He gritted his teeth. Facing his grandson, his eyes revealed a pleading look.

Such an old man was looking at him with a pleading look, and he was also his grandfather. Even if Gu Chen had a heart of stone, his heart couldn't help but ripple a little.

"The Old Man heard that after Kun City of Youzhou suffered an unexpected disaster, Your Majesty Sky King mourned for the people of the city for a whole night. It can be seen that Your Majesty still has a benevolent heart."

"Now that you and I are evenly matched, if the war continues, it will only be the people of the world who suffer! The Old Man doesn't want to see the world become a river of blood and starving people everywhere. I can only beg Your Majesty Sky King to accept the surrender agreement! "

After Shen Xudong finished speaking, he made a deep bow, which shocked many people in the military camp.

They had long heard that the great scholar Shen Xudong loved the people as his own children. He was already 15 years old, but for the sake of the people of the world, he was still willing to be so humble to his own grandson.

Gu Chen appeared beside Shen Xudong almost instantly, preventing him from bowing to him.

A look of pain flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he felt respectful and sad for Shen Xudong.

"Grandfather."

It was the first time that he called Shen Xudong like this, which shocked him.

"Do you think that all this is caused by me? Do you really think that as long as I withdraw my troops, there will really be peace in the world? "

Gu Chen's two simple questions made Shen Xudong's heart fluctuate.

He remembered that Huangfu Wuji had said that he would rather betray the people of the world than the people of the world betray him. He remembered that in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to join forces with the evil cult …

"Grandfather, you are indeed wholeheartedly thinking for the people of Nine Regions. In order to maintain your belief, it is understandable that you choose to stand on Huangfu Wuji's side. But in my opinion, that is just pedantic benevolence and righteousness! "

Shen Xudong was silent. He did not know how to refute Gu Chen's words.

"Even if I withdraw my troops, this war will not end. On the contrary, it will cause my comrades to suffer an even greater disaster."

"Only when Huangfu Wuji is dead will this war end! That's all I have to say. All of you can leave! "

Gu Chen waved his hand. He could no longer communicate with Shen Xudong.

There was no right or wrong between the two sides. It was just that they had different standpoints and different ideologies!

Mu Ziyu went forward to support Shen Xudong. After this great scholar was criticized by his own grandson, he suddenly felt like he had aged a lot.

Shen Xudong's eyes revealed a perplexed look. In fact, he had also thought about what Gu Chen said. He had always doubted whether his insistence was right.

But if he did not do this, what else could he do?

"Brother Gu, I'm sorry. For the sake of my master, I have no choice but to become your enemy."

Before the group of envoys left, Qi Zeyan looked at Gu Chen and said solemnly.

His master, who was also the Sacred Lord of South Flower Sacred Land, Luo Haicheng, had been captured by Huangfu Wuji, and his whereabouts were still unknown.

For the safety of his master, the South Flower Sacred Land had no choice but to stand with Huangfu Wuji.

"Gu Chen, my grandfather was also captured, and so was Dean Ge. So …"

Mu Ziyu also revealed an apologetic look. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
