Young Master Shangguan's words just now are still echoing in everyone's ears.
Not only do many people in his family serve as officials in the court, the highest official position is even as high as the second rank!
You know, in the official system of the Formless Divine Kingdom, second-grade officials are already important ministers in the court who hold real power. They are in charge of the administrative or military affairs of a party. Stamping their feet can make a certain star field shake.
Looking at the entire Formless Divine Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who dare to take the initiative to provoke ministers of this level!
For a moment, everyone present looked at Young Master Shangguan with awe and timidity in their eyes.
Many people even lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look at Young Master Shangguan again.
They were afraid that with a wrong look, they would offend this "noble man" and bring disaster to their own power.
Even those who were still marveling at Ye Chen before quietly closed their mouths at this moment, thinking secretly in their hearts.
Now Ye Chen may have to compromise. After all, no matter how strong his personal strength is, he cannot withstand the power of the Formless Divine Kingdom!
"Oh? People from the Formless Divine Kingdom?"
Ye Chen His eyebrows were raised slightly, his fingertips unconsciously rubbed his sleeves, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
No wonder the guard in front of me dares to be so arrogant. It turns out that he has the mountain of the Formless Divine Kingdom as his backer.
But after thinking about it, it makes sense.
If it were anyone else, as long as they were affiliated with the Formless Divine Kingdom and had such a background to back them up, they would probably have their nostrils turned upward like this, looking like they are the boss of the world and I am the second child.
"It's good to know!"
The guard man took a step forward, pointed his rough palm directly at the tip of Ye Chen's nose, and made a loud voice like Rolling Thunder, "My young master is willing to let you join our camp. It is a great honor for you! If you are wise, you should agree quickly, otherwise, you would have been a corpse without a burial place!!!"
Although he is just a bodyguard beside Young Master Shangguan, he follows the nobles every day and is used to the flattery of others.
As time goes by, I also feel that my status is more noble.
The eyes he looked at Ye Chen at this moment were like looking at an insignificant ant, full of condescending contempt.
"Formless Saint Emperor is here, and you don't even dare to talk to me like that." Ye Chen heard this, paused for a moment, then laughed softly, the laughter got louder and louder, and finally turned into a hearty laugh, "Shangguan Household, who has never even heard of his name, dares to brazenly ask me to be his little brother? Hahaha!"
Not to mention the unknown Shangguan Household Clan, even if the founder of the Formless Divine Kingdom, the legendary Formless Saint Emperor who can move mountains and reclaim seas with just a raise of his hand, comes in person, he Ye Chen may not give him any respect.
As soon as he said these words, the whole place fell into dead silence for an instant, and an uproar broke out the next second!
Everyone present, whether standing or sitting, looked as if they had seen a living ghost. The blood on their faces had drained away, replaced by a look of full horror.
Everyone opened their mouths subconsciously, and their eyes were full of "disbelief."
How dare someone dare to offend Formless Saint Emperor so blatantly!
That's Formless Saint Emperor!
He is the founding king who single-handedly created Formless Divine Kingdom, and is the undisputed strongest person in the entire Kingdom of God!
Countless people have been looking up to his figure throughout their lives, and everyone lives under the order and glory he created. Who is not in awe of this truly invincible strong man, and does not even dare to call him by his name?
No matter whether they are princes, nobles or hidden masters, they must be respectful in front of Formless Saint Emperor. No one dares to offend in the slightest!
As a result, the man in front of me actually opened his mouth and said, "Even if Formless Saint Emperor came, I wouldn't dare to talk to him like that"?
This is simply treason, because I think my life is too long!
"Is he, is he crazy? That's Formless Saint Emperor!"
In the crowd, a monk in green covered his mouth and his voice was trembling, "Even if you don't want to join Young Master Shangguan, you can just refuse directly. Why are you so fearless in dragging His Majesty Saint Emperor into it?!"
"In the world of the Formless Divine Kingdom, no one has ever dared to be so disrespectful to His Majesty Saint Emperor!"
An old man with white hair next to him stamped his feet, his face full of anxiety, "If His Majesty Saint Emperor gets angry because of this, even if Shangguan Household Clan comes forward, he won't be able to save him!!!"
"Have you forgotten? His Majesty Saint Emperor has already established the Heavenly God Pass. It is said that as long as someone mentions his name in the Kingdom of God, he can sense it!"
The other monk's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice but could not hide his panic, "With your Majesty's ability, even if you are hundreds of millions of galaxies away, just one thought can make this kid die countless times!!!"
"I think he really doesn't want to live anymore!" Someone shook his head and sighed, with a complex tone, "If he offends Shangguan Household, maybe he can still have a way to survive; but if he makes an issue with His Majesty Saint Emperor, this crime is enough for him to break his bones and spread his ashes, even if he dies countless times!!!"
"Oh, what a pity."
In the back row of the crowd, a bearded man looked in the direction of Ye Chen, with regret on his face, "This senior has unfathomable strength, but he just criticized the temper of Shangguan Household's guard.", he also hates evil as much as I do, and he is a rare happy person. But he insisted on mentioning His Majesty Saint Emperor, and said it in such an offensive way! Now it's over, I think he is really hopeless!!!"
Everyone said something to each other and started whispering.
The eyes looking at Ye Chen were also divided into two groups.
Some people think he is crazy and dares to risk his own life to challenge Saint Emperor's majesty.
Others feel regretful.
After all, the strength shown by Ye Chen is there, and his temper is upright. If he is willing to lower his head and follow Young Master Shangguan to help him achieve success, his future prospects will be limitless.
But not only did he refuse, but he also wanted to touch the taboo of "offending Saint Emperor". This is too much!
Now, even if Young Master Shangguan didn't intend to take his life at first, in order to show his loyalty to Saint Emperor and to calm down the possible anger, he would never keep him alive again!
Even Young Master Shangguan, who had always been putting on an airs and looking arrogant, was completely stunned at this moment. His pupils shrank slightly, and the fingers holding the folding fan tightened unconsciously.
He never expected that there would be someone in this world who was more arrogant than him, even so arrogant that even His Majesty Saint Emperor didn't take him seriously!
Throughout the territory of the Formless Divine Kingdom, from the princes and nobles to the traffickers and footmen, who does not respect His Majesty Saint Emperor?
Even those old monsters who have been hiding in the world for many years must be respectful when mentioning Saint Emperor and never dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. This kid in front of me is simply audacious!
"You... you dare to offend His Majesty's majesty?!"
Young Master Shangguan rushed forward two steps, pointing his finger directly at Ye Chen, his voice trembled slightly with fear, and even contained a trace of imperceptible panic.
The guards behind him also tensed up their nerves in an instant. They put their hands on the weapons on their waists and stared at Ye Chen with vigilant eyes, as if they were about to rush up and take it down in the next second.
Ye Chen was still standing where he was, with a tall and straight posture, and even a relaxed smile on his lips.
He brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes and said in a calm tone, "What does it mean to offend? Don't say it was just a casual mention. Even if Formless Saint Emperor is really standing in front of me, I will still say that."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present seemed to have their throats strangled by invisible hands, and then there was a series of "hissing" sounds.
The sound of gasps was as dense as the wind blowing through the woods.
Everyone's face was paler than before, and when they looked at Ye Chen, in addition to fear, there was also a bit of despair that said, "Sure enough, this is true."
This guy is really crazy!
Why do you dare to say such treacherous words? Aren't you afraid of being locked by His Majesty Saint Emperor's spiritual thoughts in the next second and being turned into ashes?
A thin layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Young Master Shangguan's forehead, dripping down his temples and soaking his collar.
He did have the idea of recruiting Ye Chen just now - the way Ye Chen looked calm and composed when facing the guards just now, it is obvious that he is a strong opponent.
He originally thought that by bringing such people into his camp, he would be a powerful helper in the future, whether he was fighting for family power or dealing with other forces.
But now, the thought of recruiting someone in his heart has been completely extinguished by Ye Chen's words, not even a spark is left!
After Ye Chen so blatantly offended Saint Emperor's reputation, if he still dared to bring him to his side, if word spread, he would not only be accused of "disrespecting Saint Emperor", but more seriously, he might even be charged with "collaborating with the traitor" and "intending to commit rebellion"!
By that time, he won't be the only one unlucky.
The entire Shangguan Household Clan will be implicated, ranging from deprivation of title and confiscation of family property to execution of the entire family!
Even if he had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to bear the consequences.
Win over Ye Chen?
Now he just wants to stay as far away from this "troublemaker" as possible!
"You are really looking for death!"
Young Master Shangguan raised his hand suddenly and said in a cruel tone, "Whether you are talking crazy words or you are truly rebellious, you must die here today! I will kill you for the sake of the people!!!"
Ye Chen almost couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this.
He raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm.
To eliminate harm for the people?
This hat is really big enough.
He carefully recalled his past actions. He had never done anything harmful to the people from beginning to end. How could he become a "harm" that needed to be "eliminated"?
If we really want to talk about "removing harm for the people", the Young Master Shangguan in front of us, who relies on his family's power to run rampant and let his guards yell at others, would probably be more in line with the standard of "harm", right?
If you really have to take action and kill Young Master Shangguan, you can actually eliminate harm for the people.
Hearing that Young Master Shangguan finally relented and wanted to kill Ye Chen, the most elated person among everyone present was Ancestor Situ, who was standing not far from Young Master Shangguan.
His cloudy old eyes suddenly lit up, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned blue and white from the exertion.
There has been a blood feud between him and Ye Chen for a long time, and there is no possibility of a partial separation.
Ye Chen almost wiped out Situ Household Lineage.
Every time he thinks about this, his heart feels like a huge stone is blocking his chest. As long as Ye Chen is still alive in the world, he will have trouble sleeping day and night, and he won't even be able to sleep well.
Previously, Young Master Shangguan was determined to recruit Ye Chen. Even though he was filled with resentment, he could only suppress his temper and obey the orders. He was forced to "coexist peacefully" with this enemy who had wiped out his entire clan, without even daring to say a single word about shouting about beating or killing.
That feeling was simply torture for him.
Seeing the enemy dangling before my eyes, but unable to take revenge, my chest felt so tight that it almost exploded.
But it's different now!
I don't know where this Ye Chen went wrong. He just refused Young Master Shangguan's recruitment, but he actually dared to be rude to His Majesty Saint Emperor and say such treasonous words!
Ancestor Situ felt so happy that he almost laughed out loud, and the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation and the fact that there were so many people watching around him, he would have wanted to throw his head back and laugh three times to express the resentment he had been holding in for a long time.
It's okay now, let alone Young Master Shangguan no longer protecting him, even if the King of Heaven comes, there is no way he can save Ye Chen!
He quickly took two steps forward, bowed to Young Master Shangguan, and said in an urgent and somewhat solemn tone, "Young Master! This person dares to talk nonsense and slander Saint Emperor in public. Your Majesty, in my opinion, he must be a rebel lurking in the Kingdom of God! He must be killed on the spot today, and his life must not be spared! Otherwise, if he colludes with foreign enemies in the future, there will be endless trouble!!!"
As he spoke, he secretly observed Young Master Shangguan's expression, hoping that the other party would give the order quickly so that he could watch Ye Chen die in front of him and relieve his hatred.
Young Master Shangguan is so smart, how could he not see the selfishness in Ancestor Situ's words?
He glanced at Ancestor Situ coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
He just wanted to use his own hands to avenge himself, but he said it so grandly.
But he didn't expose it. After all, killing Ye Chen was already a certainty, and Ancestor Situ's words were just a push-over.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the guards in black attire beside him. His voice was as cold as iron. "Kill this man!!!"
"Yes!!!"
Several guards responded in unison, their voices loud and deafening.
They didn't hesitate at all. The long swords at their waists came out of their sheaths with a "swish" sound, and the cold light instantly cut through the air.
The leading guard rushed towards Ye Chen like an arrow, and the remaining few people followed closely behind, outflanking him from the left and right sides. The swords were sharp and they obviously planned to kill Ye Chen quickly in one fell swoop.
These people are quite powerful, and they are all masters of the Peak God Emperor Stage Realm. In the whole Shangguan Household Clan, they are all ranked among the best!
The fact that they can follow Young Master Shangguan and serve as his personal bodyguards is enough to illustrate this point!
When they each used their weapons, the sword light flickered between the sky and the earth, as if countless cold lights were swaying back and forth in front of everyone.
The whole world seems to be getting colder!
Just now, Ancestor Situ lost to Ye Chen. That was because his skills were inferior to others.
Now, the strength of these guards is not inferior to Ancestor Situ. Although they do not have Hundun Saint Emperor-level weapons, they still have a big advantage due to their large number of people.
Countless piercing sword lights instantly surrounded Ye Chen!
This battle, no matter who comes, will be very dangerous, and they will pay the price of their lives at any time!
Ye Chen was surrounded by them, and countless sword lights were already slashing at him!
