Chapter 1381: Aromatic Blood (3)
Inwardly, Liu Hong was lamenting the advantage of having a powerful backer. It felt incredible. He was now Su Yu. And this massive battle had erupted because of Su Yu. Numerous ancient Pseudo Emperors had appeared. How exciting.
However, it was clear that the battle had progressed as far as it could. At this point, either Tiangu or Empyrean Cloud could take on the tribulation. It wouldn't matter much. Tiangu had simply refused for the sake of saving face.
He was the Immortal Pseudo Emperor. He couldn't give in so easily. As for Empyrean Cloud and Heavendoom, they had merely refused out of fury. In truth, the forty-four crimson tokens had largely solved the crisis.
Liu Hong did not shrink from all the gazes. In truth, he was quite a brazen one as well. Any other person would have died from sheer terror under the scrutiny of so many super experts. Meanwhile, Liu Hong was still able to smile brightly in front of everyone. In a way, he was just as fearless as Su Yu.
"Us holy cities exist for the sake of suppressing the Death Realm. I believe nobody wants us to give up on our duties, right? The immortals and divines have provoked the holy cities, nearly bringing calamity upon the Myriad Realms. That is the main reason for all that has happened today.
"Of course, I understand that the immortals and divines are the pillars of the Myriad Realms. They are still needed in case of a Death Realm invasion in the future. Thus, we still need to ensure peace between us."
With a wide grin, Liu Hong continued, "I doubt Dao King and Divine King Tianjue are deliberately targeting the holy cities. Perhaps Immortal Emperor Tiangu and Divine Emperor Jiwu were unaware of this before the attack. This is all probably a big misunderstanding.
"Dao King lost two tri-life bodies. Divine King Tianjue lost one. They have been punished for their actions. Now, we are left with only one question. Who shall bear the tribulation targeting Lord Empryean Cloud? In my opinion, the responsibility shouldn't fall on Immortal Emperor Tiangu and Divine Emperor Jiwu. Perhaps we should have the other seven Invincibles who had participated in the attack earlier take on the tribulation instead."
With the same gentle smile on his face, Liu Hong continued, "When you do wrong, you naturally need to be punished. You are no children. You can't have everyone paying for your mistake, right? Some of you are probably thousands of years old. You should act like an adult. There are seven of you. Each of you can take a tri-life body out and face the tribulation alongside Lord Empryean Cloud. When the tribulation is over, this matter shall end. Why bother talking about compensation? When you do wrong, just take the punishment. It's as simple as that. Am I right?"
"..."
The seven Invincibles had unsightly expressions. That was especially true for the immortal king who had lost a tri-life body to Empyrean Cloud. If he agreed, he would be reduced to only one body. As of late, one-bodied Invincibles, also known as single guys, had been increasing in number among the myriad races.
