"It's easy for the Lord of Qingqiu to say. The people of Qingqiu are all living beings. Then the people of Chang'an and the disciples of Tianji City are not living beings? Who should compensate for their lives?" Lu Huaming asked coldly.
"Since I am the ruler of Qingqiu, I should die to atone for my crime." The ruler of Qingqiu said calmly, without any abnormality in his expression, as if he was discussing the life and death of someone else.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this answer.
"Lord, some things cannot be solved by death, and it concerns the fate of the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan. Why doesn't the Great Elder and Master Su show up?" Shen Luo's expression was slightly condensed, and he said with some reluctance.
His voice was quite loud, and with the blessing of his spiritual power, it spread throughout the entire Qingqiu City.
The foxes who had previously been criticizing and scolding the King of Qingqiu in the back also had the same question in their minds at this moment: why was Master Su, the great elder, so reluctant to show up
"The king is about to die to apologize. Perhaps he didn't show up in time because he really had some unspeakable secrets?" someone said hesitantly.
"The Great Elder has previously denied that our Qingqiu Fox Clan was involved in the Chang'an Fox Rebellion, saying that various tribes coveted the treasures of our Qingqiu Fox Clan and deliberately made excuses to cause trouble in order to mobilize us to protect our homes and country, while the King has been trying to resolve the dispute through dialogue. Now that we have all come out to fight, why is the Great Elder nowhere to be seen?" an elder spoke up.
"Yes, please invite the great elder to come out and take charge of the situation." Another elder shouted loudly upon hearing this.
The elders around looked at each other and shouted, "Please ask the Great Elder to take charge of the situation."
"Please ask the Great Elder to take charge of the situation..."
At this moment, the Qingqiu fox tribe members gathered inside the city gate started shouting loudly, and their voices echoed over and over again throughout the entire Qingqiu city.
Unfortunately, no one answered and no one showed up.
People outside the city waited for a long time, and people inside the city also waited for a long time, but in the end they were all disappointed.
The Great Elder had Su Mouzhu and had no intention of showing up at all.
The King of Qingqiu seemed to have expected this. A bitter smile appeared on his face and his eyes fell on Shen Luo.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I blame myself for not finding out the truth earlier. Now that things have developed to this point, there is no way to save the situation. The Great Elder deliberately put me in the fire, and she will not show up. I only ask that after I die, you can stop the various factions from slaughtering Qingqiu City, can you?"
The voice of the Lord of Qingqiu echoed in Shen Luo's sea of consciousness, and a struggle arose in his heart.
"Lord, I can try to persuade them to allow you to go to Chang'an City to apologize and thus suspend the war. What do you think?" Shen Luo replied in a voice transmission.
"It's useless. As soon as I follow you to Chang'an, the Great Elder will plan more attacks to make the fire burn even more fiercely. Only if I die to apologize can the anger of various factions be calmed and she can take power completely. When Qingqiu Kingdom falls into her hands, she will not continue to use the lives of the Qingqiu fox people as bargaining chips for gambling." The King of Qingqiu continued to transmit the voice.
"What exactly does she want to do? Just to force you to die and seize power?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
“When it comes to political schemes and scheming, I am really not as good as her. I cannot see her more intentions, but right now, all I can do for the Qingqiu Fox Clan is to face death calmly.” After the King of Qingqiu finished speaking, a look of loneliness emerged on his face.
