When facing death, dignity and other things are bullshit. As long as you survive, no matter what evil things you have done, you will be famous throughout the ages. When you die, only a pile of bones and a handful of earth will be left. Who will remember your past glory
Take Wu Tian for example. If he was wiped out in the Great Confucian Dynasty, in the Beast King Mountain, and in the Gutuo Temple, he would be buried forever in the long river of time and would soon be forgotten.
Perhaps one day, someone will remember a man named Wu Tian, but they will only say that he was a demon who had killed countless lives.
Now he is still alive, and has survived step by step. All the things that were considered evil and unmanageable in the past, the world now basically does not mention them at all. The only thing people talk about is his strength, his glory and brilliance.
"Cough!" Dongfang Xiao really couldn't stand this atmosphere and coughed lightly. Yan Weiyu and his daughter shuddered slightly and suddenly came back to their senses.
Yan Weiyu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, hurriedly stepped down from the throne, stood aside, bowed, and said respectfully: "Master Wutian, please take a seat."
"No problem." Wu Tian said calmly, and sat down on the seat next to him. He said, "I'm sure you all already know the purpose of my visit this time, so I won't waste any more time. Just name a price! How much essence do you need to sell the Imperial Killing Forbidden Order?"
"Well!"
Yan Weiyu and his daughter were stunned. This was really direct. They started talking about business without saying anything. However, Wutan had a fierce reputation, so they did not dare to be negligent.
Yan Weiyu sat back on the throne trembling with fear. To be honest, the pressure in his heart at this moment could not be described in words. Wujit's vicious reputation, his various battle achievements and methods were like towering mountains, which directly pressed him to the point that he could hardly breathe.
I had only heard about it before and didn't take it too seriously. But now that I have seen it in the real person, I realize that it is even more terrifying than the rumors said.
Sitting firmly on the golden throne, Yan Weiyu calmed down a little and sighed, "Lord Wutian, you are too serious. You have seen it today. Keeping the Imperial Killing Ban in the Great Yan Dynasty will only bring disaster. In fact, I also want to send this source of disaster out as soon as possible. The essence is not important, but my daughter has always been unwilling. And the Killing Ban has always been kept by her, so she still needs to make the decision."
Hearing this, Wu Tian looked directly at Yan Yu and asked, "What are your conditions?"
"Haha! I don't have any conditions. As long as Dongfang Xiao is willing to marry me, I will offer myself to him immediately." Yan Yu smiled lightly and spoke decisively.
"Nonsense!" Yan Weiyu was furious when she heard this and shouted, "How can a girl like you say such things? It's really unreasonable."
"Father, girls are also human beings! They also have the right to pursue their own happiness! Didn't you always teach us to dare to love and hate? Why don't you support me now?" Yan Yu said aggrievedly.
"It's not that the emperor doesn't support you, but..."
Yan Weiyu originally wanted to say that being able to love and hate depends on the person. Now you are facing the evil star Wutan. If you do anything too outrageous, he might just give an order and send people to destroy the Great Yan Dynasty.
But when he realized that Wutan was right next to him, he didn't dare to say these words even if he had a hundred courage. The Great Confucian Dynasty was a lesson for him!
"I don't care. I'm going to marry Dongfang Xiao anyway." Yan Yu was determined. She hugged Dongfang Xiao's arm, pouting, and refused to let go.
Dongfang Xiao's face was full of embarrassment.
Wu Tian's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Although Dongfang Xiao and I have known each other for a short time, we have a good relationship from the moment we met, and our relationship is better than that of brothers. I can make the decision on his affairs. Since you are so infatuated with me, then okay, I agree."
Dongfang Xiao glared at Wutan immediately after hearing this, but Yan Yu got the upper hand. She looked at Wutan and said with a smile, "This princess is also very straightforward. As long as we are officially married, I will give you the Imperial Killing Ban."
"You're quite a smart woman! But I'm not the one you want anyway, so it doesn't matter." Wu Tian muttered to himself, and then made a decisive and quick decision: "Okay, it's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let's set the date for your wedding as today."
Dongfang Xiao and Yan Weiyu were dumbfounded. This efficiency was too fast! In just a few breaths of time, a marriage was finalized.
"That's great. I'll tell someone to do it right away." Yan Yu finally let go of his hand. Dongfang Xiao, as if he had escaped death, flew a hundred feet away and immediately shouted, "Wait!"
"You are not allowed to talk!" Wutan and Yanyu glared at each other and shouted in tacit understanding.
But after that, Wu Tian continued to send a message: "Brother Dongfang, don't worry. This is just a fake marriage. We will leave as soon as we get the killing ban."
"You're not fooling me?" Dongfang Xiao asked in a voice transmission.
“Of course, don’t you know what kind of person I am, Wutan? I can do anything, including murder and arson, but I will never deceive my brothers.” Wutan vowed and guaranteed.
After thinking about it, Dongfang Xiao felt that it made sense. Although Wutan was not a good person, he was still very loyal to his friends. Besides, as long as he performed a play, he could get one million earth element essences. So he gladly agreed. He even took advantage of the situation and increased the amount from one million to two million.
And Wutan did not refuse, so the marriage was settled.
As the bride and groom, Dongfang Xiao and his wife of course had a lot of things to prepare. What's more, Yan Yu was a princess, and there were a lot of complicated things involved in the ceremony, so after making the decision, the two began to get busy.
Dongfang Xiao worked very hard and was very efficient in everything he did. He looked as if he couldn't wait to marry Yan Yu, but in fact, he just wanted to finish the job quickly and leave as soon as possible.
As for Yan Weiyu, although it was a bit abrupt for him to be a father-in-law, it was a good thing to find a son-in-law who was the head of the Wanbao Pavilion branch. It would also be beneficial to the Great Yan Dynasty. Yan Weiyu quickly agreed and helped to arrange it.
As for the issue of the letter, Yan Yu also explained that this was premeditated. After learning about the relationship between Wutan and Dongfang Xiao, Yan Yu sent people to hide in the surroundings of Shura City and keep an eye on them. As soon as Wutan showed up, they would immediately report to her, and then things would happen afterwards.
Everyone was busy except Wutan, who had nothing to do. Finally, he simply walked out of the palace and wandered aimlessly in Yancheng. After an unknown amount of time, he found a pretty good restaurant and walked in.
However, his appearance has changed slightly. After all, he is famous now and will cause a sensation wherever he goes.
When Wu Tian found an empty table and sat down, a boy dressed as a waiter, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, immediately came forward and said in a flattering tone, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Just give me a pot of good wine." Wutan said lightly.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be there soon."
After the young man left, Wutan glanced around casually. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly turned his head and fixed his gaze on a certain place, and his brows furrowed.
In a corner of the hall, three people were sitting around a table. Two of them were middle-aged men with quite good cultivation base, who were in the initial stage of divine transformation. The other one was Wujit’s old acquaintance, Cang Zheng!
Moreover, the table in front of the three people was filled with a large number of dishes, but they were almost cold, and they did not move their chopsticks. They lowered their heads, as if discussing something, but their voices were too soft and it was too noisy in the place, so Wutan could not hear them.
"Sir, here is the wine you requested. Please enjoy it slowly."
The young man put down the wine pot and wine glass and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wu Tian, who took out an essence from the mustard seed bag and placed it on the table, smiling faintly, "Do you want it?"
The young man didn't say anything, but just nodded continuously, like pounding garlic, with green light flashing in his eyes.
Pointing at Cang Zheng and the other two without leaving a trace, Wu Tian whispered, "Go and help me find out what they are talking about. This essence will be yours."
Looking back, the young man's face changed and he shook his head, saying, "Forget it. They are of noble status and I, a fellow, cannot afford to offend them."
Wu Tian flipped his hand, took out another ten essences and placed them on the table, and said jokingly: "What about this?"
The young man, who wanted to leave, stopped immediately and stared at the eleven shining essences on the table. In the end, greed overcame his fear and he grabbed the essences and said in a deep voice, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I can find out."
"It's okay, just do your best!" Wutan nodded.
The young man nodded, turned and walked towards the counter, looking thoughtful. Gradually, he seemed to have thought of a solution. He held a jug full of wine and walked towards Cang Zheng and the other two.
He didn't look panicked and looked very calm. Seeing this scene, Wutan couldn't help but nodded in appreciation. Facing someone he knew he shouldn't offend, he could still remain so calm. This boy has a pretty good character.
So, Wutan drank while paying attention to the young man unnoticeably, his eyes filled with curiosity.
However, when the young man got within ten feet of Cang Zheng and the other two, his speed suddenly slowed down a lot, and his ears fluttered slightly, as if he was trying to catch the faint whispering sound.
Suddenly, Cang Zheng looked up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. The young man trembled physically and mentally, and hurriedly ran forward, presented the bottle with both hands, and said flatteringly: "This is the best Yulu wine in our store. I specially sent it here for the three guests to taste. If it suits your taste, you must remember to come often in the future!"
The young man's voice was not concealed deliberately, so Wutan caught it clearly. He immediately shook his head and laughed. It seemed that he had underestimated the boy's ability to respond.
Faced with this sudden situation, especially when Cang Zheng looked at the young man, there was still a little bit of pressure. If it were any other mortal, he would have been scared and ran away.
And yet the young man was able to deceive the public so easily. His eyes were calm and his expression was composed. He didn't reveal any clues at all. His calmness was beyond imagination!
