As Lide expected, the appearance of the sandworm parent body is just the beginning, and a new crisis is coming in an instant.
Just after leaving the Weeping Night Plain, seven territories jointly put pressure on the Lingwu lord to expel Li De from the team.
The reason they gave was simple: under his suggestion, everyone chose to go to the Plain of Weeping Night, but what they encountered was a huge sandworm mother body. If the giant worms were not so old, or if there were more of them, I am afraid that everyone would die in the Weeping Night Field. Thinking about it carefully, in so many territories, no one has heard of the existence of the Weeping Night Sandworm, but Lide, a person who came to the north for the first time, knows all about it...
There are various indications that he probably wanted to lead everyone to a dead end from the very beginning.
As for his motivation for doing this, no one can say clearly, but who knows that he has no deal with the giants? If people like them really died in the Plain of Weeping Night, then it would be like killing three birds with one stone for the giants: severely injuring the original overlord thousands of years ago like the sandworm, and preserving the assembly in the cold abyss corridor. The giant army of the army cleared away the main hostile forces heading north.
Of course, these are just excuses put forward publicly.
There are many real reasons behind it. For example, in this battle, many masters died in each territory. Although the dead are basically the best, it is also the painstaking efforts of each territory. After all, this matter needs to be blamed by one person, and Lingwu definitely can't bear the blame, so he can only find the person who proposed the plan to be held accountable.
Another example is that when Garberd leaned on his sword and forced their masters to go up to fight, Lingwu's army was preserved intact. Although this seemed reasonable at the time, it was essentially the result of the Lingwu lord's use of force. Way to force their men to charge ahead. If she didn't protest now, if she did something like this again when she was beating the Jinyao giant, there might not be many people in other territories who would be able to go back alive.
Therefore, it is very appropriate to bombard Lide at this time. On the one hand, Lide himself is a public enemy, and other territories generally think that he is a useless drag; Taking care of him, using him to operate can be a good test of the attitude of Lord Lingwu.
The initiator of this pressure is unknown, and the "rebate alliance" is also involved. The leader is a young master who doesn't know whose family, he looks a little capable, but unfortunately he is still three points short when he sees the Lord of Lingwu, his voice is a little unconfident, and it took a lot of effort to put forward the demands of these people: Let Lide go, otherwise these people will withdraw and head north.
Lord Lingwu wore a veil, and no one could see her expression, but Lide vaguely felt that she smiled.
As a result, the surrounding temperature suddenly became a little colder.
The people in the Qijia territory held their heads high and refused to back down. It is related to the interests of each family, and no one is willing to back down at this time. Although they are not the most core members of each territory, since they can be sent to the north, it means that they are definitely not dead bodies. Even Li Neng is relatively shrewd among the young masters of Yunyang, but he is too self-confident.
Lord Lingwu didn't speak, which was in stark contrast to the young masters who kept speaking. But the more people talk, the more panicked they are. The silent Lord Lingwu is the source of the pressure.
When the Son of Heaven was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles. These few people were not enough to kill them. It's just that they believed that Lord Lingwu would not kill them at this time, so they dared to operate like this, frantically probing on the verge of death.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
At this moment, Li De, who was the person involved, stepped forward slowly, walked up to the leading young master, and kicked him on the knee without saying anything or asking anything.
Brother Gongzi fell to his knees on the ground without reacting at all.
Lide put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile:
"Hey, you mean I'm to blame for this? You're too thick-skinned, why don't you walk through the cold abyss corridor again now to see if there are more people who died in the weeping night plain? Really I am ashamed to ask, if I don’t leave today, what can you do to me, is it possible that you really dare to quit heading north now and go home by yourself? Can you go back.”
Li De folded his arms and looked at the seven young masters present, and said with a sneer:
"And you guys, don't always hold the group there to force Lai Lai, have the ability to touch me, and see if I do it or not, you will be done. Tell you, if I want to stay here, no one can Chase me away!"
After the words fell, the seven young masters widened their eyes and raised their heads suddenly, but they were not looking at Lide, but at Lord Lingwu.
Lord Lingwu stared at Lide's back, narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and said coldly:
"Are you making decisions for me?"
Li De didn't seem to feel the coldness coming from behind him at all, and he still spoke nonsense to the sons of the seven territories:
"Hey, did you hear that? Don't say which one of you, even if you all quit heading north, I won't leave here for half a step! Do you know why? This is called three thousand beauties in the harem, Three thousand favors in... "
Before Lide could finish speaking, the air trembled a bit, and the huge coercion suddenly crushed all the people present.
The young masters of the seven territories fell to their knees in an instant. Li De frowned slightly, but still stood without looking back.
Lord Lingwu said lightly:
"After the last hunt, I specially approved you to enter the Lingwu high-level to go with Zhan Gui and others. If you stay there honestly and keep your mouth shut today, I will naturally let you stay. But now it seems that I will give you some If you trust you, you will become arrogant and do not know how to advance or retreat. If this is the case, you should leave by yourself."
Li De just turned his head, a pair of dark eyes looked at Lord Lingwu, and Lord Lingwu was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other for a short moment, and the world was silent at this moment.
The next moment, Lide's shrewd and powerful aura dissipated in an instant, and he suddenly threw himself at the feet of Lord Lingwu and cried bitterly. While crying, he tried to hug her thigh and beg her, but was kicked away by Lord Lingwu. Alaya and Hilo drew their swords and stood in front of Lide and Lord Lingwu, but were stopped by Lide himself.
He said to Lord Lingwu:
"Okay, I'll go. But my people, can you stay?"
Mu Risheng moved his mouth, wanting to take advantage of the situation and say a few words to let Alaya and Hilo go with Lied. After all, in this environment, one more walking is equal to one more death, and killing the roots is the best choice.
But before he could speak, he heard Lord Lingwu say:
"Your crime is disrespect and has nothing to do with them."
Mu Risheng closed his mouth instantly.
Lid got up from the ground and rubbed his chest that was sore from being kicked. Alaya and Hilo cast worried glances in this direction. Lid turned his back to the people in other territories, shook his head slightly at them, and then said Lord Lingwu said:
"Thank you very much."
After the words fell, Li De turned around and walked into the wind and snow step by step.
People in other territories breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought today would be a more intense conflict, but I didn't expect that Lide would kill himself with a single operation, and took the initiative to give away the head. This made them lose a lot of sense of accomplishment, but it did feel a lot easier. When they confronted Lord Lingwu just now, the feeling that their blood was going to be frozen was simply unbearable for ordinary people.
— But the lord of the Yuxi City is indeed a fool.
He thought he could do whatever he wanted by hugging Lord Lingwu's thigh, but he didn't know that someone like him was nothing more than a knife in someone else's hand. A knife cannot actively injure someone, otherwise it will not give the owner face, even if the owner does not give face, it will not be far from being discarded.
