Half-Emperor Hanqiu's words were extremely sharp and also extremely ruthless.
Upon hearing this, the gazes of all the powerful figures from various forces immediately fell upon Half-Emperor Qianye.
After all, it's not impossible.
Xuan Ye can even create those strange Sealing Realm; who knows if he might have ways to hide them from them?
Furthermore, so many Saint Realm experts perished, yet Qian Xunyi of the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association miraculously survived.
This is really abnormal.
It is possible that, as Half-Emperor Hanqiu said, all of this was orchestrated by the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association, and that Xuan Ye was merely an incarnation of Qian Xunyi.
" Hanqiu, you're utterly slanderous!"
Upon hearing this, Half-Emperor Qianye was enraged. His body shone with divine light, and his aura surged to its peak in an instant, his power Gai Shi and earth-shaking.
Gai Wudi also looked coldly at Hanqiu, his aura exploding, his eyes icy, and his killing intent had solidified into a tangible form, boiling in the void.
Hanqiu's words were absolutely cruel.
They won't stop until they've completely ruined the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association.
If everything is really Hanqiu said, perhaps the two of them can still endure it.
The problem is, Hanqiu is just talking nonsense.
How could they possibly tolerate this?
Most importantly, while it's true that all the other factions suffered heavy losses, the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association suffered the most.
How many Saint Realm have fallen in total?
"What, do you intend to attack me?"
Hanqiu showed no fear whatsoever when facing the enraged Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi.
Her aura was equally cold, but it instantly turned violent.
As she spoke, she looked directly at Kui Tiancheng of the Caesar Palace and said, " Emperor Kui, I request a holy war—a holy war between us and the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association. I hope Your Emperor Kui will grant my request!"
Upon hearing this, Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi were even more enraged.
The expressions of the other powerful figures also changed.
Kui Tiancheng also frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, " Emperor Hanqiu, the Holy War is not child's play, nor is it a joke. It cannot be started casually. I hope you will be cautious."
Upon hearing this, Half-Emperor Hanqiu was somewhat annoyed and said firmly, " Emperor Kui, do I look like I'm joking?"
"We, the Hundred Flowers Alliance, request to initiate a holy war with the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association, and we hope that Caesar Palace will grant our request!"
After she finished speaking, she added:
"Regardless of the circumstances, this matter originated from the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association. Since the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association denies it and cannot provide an explanation, then I do not need their acknowledgment, nor do I need any further explanation from them."
"I am now directly requesting a holy war. Does that not seem to be overstepping the rules?"
"Moreover, even if Xuan Ye was framing someone, why didn't he frame my Hundred Flowers Alliance? Why didn't he impersonate a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Alliance or the Great Sword Sect? Why did he specifically impersonate a disciple of the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association?"
"Could there be something fishy going on here?"
Although Half-Emperor Hanqiu was a woman, her pretty face held a fierce look, exuding unparalleled domineering aura.
Even though the Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi on the other side were furious, she showed no fear and remained assertive and uncompromising.
Seeing Half-Emperor Hanqiu's unwavering resolve, Kui Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It has to be said that this is indeed somewhat strange.
He hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to speak, when Baiye Emperor suddenly spoke first, " Emperor Kui, my Hundred Leaves Imperial Dynasty has also decided to start a holy war with the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association."
"This matter remains unresolved, and I am unwilling to accept it. If I do nothing, I cannot face the spirits of those powerful figures of the dynasty in heaven."
To make matters worse.
Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi were trembling with rage.
The fact that the Hundred Flowers Alliance and the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association have started a holy war is already enough to give the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association a run for its money.
Now that the Hundred Leaves Imperial Dynasty has joined in, it's absolutely adding insult to injury.
It would be difficult for the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association to survive.
"Our Great Sword Sect requests a holy war with the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association!"
"We, the Divine Spear Sect, request a holy war against the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association!"
However, this is by no means the end.
As Baiye Emperor finished speaking, the Sect Master of the Divine Spear Sect and the Sect Master of the Great Sword Sect followed suit.
The tone was firm and left no room for argument.
When Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi saw this scene, their faces turned dark.
It's so dark it's unbearable to look at.
Kui Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
However, just as he was about to speak, Baiye Emperor spoke up again, " Emperor Kui, do not try to persuade me. If you wish for my Hundred Leaves Imperial Dynasty to avoid launching a holy war, it is not impossible."
"If Caesar Palace can hand over Xuan Ye, the Sealing Technique, and enough resources to nurture three Saint Realm experts, then my Hundred Leaves Imperial Dynasty can withdraw."
"Otherwise, I would have no face to face the millions of people in the Baiye territory, nor to face the thousands of powerful warriors who sacrificed their lives for the Hundred Leaves Imperial Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, the Great Sword Sect Master and the Divine Spear Sect Master also spoke up.
"My Great Sword Sect is no exception."
"Our Divine Spear Sect is no exception."
When Kui Tiancheng saw this, he was immediately at his wit's end.
This is really difficult to handle.
He couldn't help but glance at the Half-Emperor Qianye and Gai Wudi, who were already furious to the point of exploding, before finally speaking, "This matter is of great importance, and even I cannot make a decision on it."
"In that case, I will immediately report this matter to the Caesar Palace and await a decision from above. What do you all think?"
He was also quite helpless; this kind of thing shouldn't have happened, and shouldn't have been possible.
However, this time is different. The matter involves many forces, and most importantly, those Saint Realm experts died under mysterious circumstances. The murderer has not been caught, and the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association cannot provide an explanation.
He had no choice but to report it and let his superiors decide.
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures, Half-Emperor Hanqiu, did not press the matter too hard. They immediately nodded and then each broke through the void and departed.
In a short time, all the powerful figures disappeared without a trace, leaving only Half-Emperor Qianye, Gai Wudi, and Qian Xunyi.
"Bastards, a bunch of bastards!"
After all the powerful figures had left their mouths, Half-Emperor Qianye finally couldn't help but curse aloud, his angry voice shaking the heavens and earth.
He was absolutely furious; he was about to explode.
A bunch of bastards, a bunch of cunning old foxes, they clearly want to destroy the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association.
Gai Wudi remained silent, but his expression was equally cold.
Once the holy war begins, the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association will definitely be doomed, and most of its members will either be killed or taken prisoner.
He and Half-Emperor Qianye might be able to save their lives and be recruited as elders by the Caesar Palace.
However, this is only the general case.
If all the forces were to participate in the Holy War, both of them would be in grave danger of falling.
They had no chance against more than ten Emperor Realm.
Even if Half-Emperor Qianye is incredibly powerful.
Unless a powerful figure from the Caesar Palace intervenes to protect them.
Half-Emperor Qianye roared a few times before gradually calming down.
He suddenly looked at Qian Xunyi and said coldly, "What exactly is going on? Who is Xuan Ye? Is he really your incarnation?"
