Chapter 26: Want to Die? In Your Dreams!
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the dungeon, everyone looked at Ye Xuan and knew that it was definitely not as simple as a simple chat. He was hiding a dagger behind his smile. He must be holding it in again.
Ye Xuan came in front of Shi Xiangxiang. "Let's have a deeper understanding first... I hope you can be honest, otherwise, my small whip and big bat are very cruel."
"Kill me," Shi Xiangxiang said.
Ye Xuan nodded. "You want to die? In your dreams!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he came to Long Hua's side and asked, "What about you? Do you want to have a chat with me?"
Long Hua replied, "No comment. Just give me a quick death!"
Ye Xuan's expression changed slightly. "Do you all want to die so much? I'll fulfill your wish."
With a sword cry, the Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed, and it cut his throat, and blood splattered. Long Hua looked at Ye Xuan in shock as if to say you're being serious.
Ye Xuan returned to Shi Xiangxiang. "What are you not going to talk about? Miss Shi's beauty is extraordinary, it's a pity to kill you. If I cripple your cultivation and send you to the Hundred Flower Inn..."
"Hmm, that's a good idea."
Shi Xiangxiang's expression changed. "Ye Xuan, I can be killed but not humiliated!"
Ye Xuan said with a smile. "Zhao Gao, cripple her cultivation."
Zhao Gao accepted the order and walked toward Shi Xiangxiang. The latter's face turned pale. "You can continue humiliating me. Ye Xuan, what do you want to know?"
"Why did the Nine States Alliance send you here?" Ye Xuan asked. "Where is the Nine States Alliance's headquarters? And where is the Empress Dowager?"
Shi Xiangxiang's face was ashen. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that death would be such a luxury to her. "The order I received was to overturn Great Xia. The Nine States Alliance's headquarters is in Nine States City. As for the Empress Dowager, she was killed by me ten years ago."
Subverting Great Xia.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Buzz.
The Xuanyuan Sword cut across Shi Xiangxiang's body. Blood gushed out, and the wound was so deep that one could see her bones.
Cold sweat broke out on Shi Xiangxiang's forehead. "Ye Xuan, I've told you everything I know. Just give me a quick death."
Ye Xuan gave Zhao Gao a look. "Arrange it. I hate it when people lie to me."
Zhao Gao stepped forward and crushed Shi Xiangxiang's Dantian with his spiritual Qi. "Your Highness, I'll send her to the Hundred Flower Inn now."
The Six Sword Slave was about to leave with Shi Xiangxiang when a weak voice came. "Ye Xuan, will you kill me if I tell you?"
"That'll depend on whether your information is valuable or not," Ye Xuan replied.
"The Ninth Prince, I'm here on his orders to overturn Great Xia and take the throne for him," Shi Xiangxiang said.
He didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest.
The Ninth Prince was in charge of the Southern Kingdom, which was the richest place in Great Xia. He did not expect him to be interested in the throne.
"The Ninth Prince is also a member of the Nine States Alliance."
"Yes, he has a very high status in the Nine States Alliance," Shi Xiangxiang said weakly.
"Your performance was very good, so I will grant you death." Ye Xuan watched as Zhao Gao was leaving with her. "You three, are you going to confess, or do you want me to interrogate you?"
Li Lingxiao, Li Chuntian, and Yan Yong were all terrified. It was only at this moment that they realized they knew nothing about Ye Xuan.
Grand Preceptor Li Chuntian hurriedly said, "Your Highness, on the account that I have been preparing the rations, please give me another chance."
Ye Xuan said, "Preparing rations. How much money have you embezzled that was used to buy rations over the years? Just this alone is enough to kill your entire family. Xuan Jian, write down everything they say. If they don't say anything, kill them all."
After saying that, he walked out of the dungeon.
In the house, Zhao Gao followed Ye Xuan closely. "Take Dragnet to the Southern Kingdom and bring the Ninth Prince back."
"Yes, Sir!" Zhao Gao bowed.
....
The Eastern Palace.
In the study, Ye Xuan stared at the map in front of him and raised his hand to circle the Nine States City with cinnabar. This city was thousands of miles away from Great Xia, but they could reach the Xia Palace. They were definitely not just here to assist the Ninth Prince in his ascension.
The Nine States Alliance's true scheme was to control the world.
"Your Highness, Patriarch Xuanyuan has arrived."
Ye Xuan turned to look at Gao Ying and put down the brush in his hand. "Let him in!"
Xuanyuan Tuo entered the main hall. "I, Xuanyuan Tuo, pay my respects to Your Highness."
"Patriarch Xuanyuan, you have entered the palace. Are you planning to submit?"
Ye Xuan knew that the Xuanyuan family would surrender when the news of the northern victory spread, so he had expected Xuanyuan Tuo to come.
"Your Highness, the Xuanyuan family shall submit!" Xuanyuan Tuo replied respectfully. "I came to the palace because I want Your Highness to take a look at the Xuanyuan family's property."
Ye Xuan replied with a smile, "I'm free today, so lead the way, Patriarch Xuanyuan."
After leaving the palace, Xuanyuan Tuo led them to the Xuanyuan family's slave market. "Your Highness, there will be a slave fight later. Are you interested in watching?"
"Sure!"
Anyway, there was nothing to do in the palace for the time being, so he can stay in the slave market and watch.
Xuanyuan Tuo explained, "Your Highness, the slaves here come from all over the world. There are swordsmen from the Great Han Empire, elves from Tianyu Empire, barbarians from the Northern Barbarian Empire, and fox men from the Green Hill Forest. The fox women are especially popular, and they are even more priceless now."
Ye Xuan nodded, and with his hands behind his back, he walked over to where the slaves were displayed. "Patriarch Xuanyuan, besides participating in the fights, are these slaves also for sale?"
"Barbarians, fox men, and elves are easier to sell," Xuanyuan Tuo responded. "But it's hard to sell the swordsmen of the Great Han Empire because they're cultivators. Ordinary people can't control them."
At this moment, a low roar was heard, like that of an angry beast. Ye Xuan looked in the direction of the sound. "Patriarch Xuanyuan, this is..."
"Your Highness, this is a barbarian. Ever since he was bought, he would go crazy from time to time. He would be like this every time, and his destructive power is extremely terrifying. I can't do anything, so I can only lock him up."
"Oh, really? Take me to see."
"Your Highness, this person is extremely powerful and brutal. For your safety, it's better not to go."
"It's fine!"
Xuanyuan Tuo saw that Ye Xuan was determined to go, so he could only lead the way.
A figure appeared in the huge black iron cage. He was shaped like a tower and his muscles and bones were bulging. It was as if there was a volcano in his body that could erupt at any time. Ten dark iron chains bound his body, but every time he roared, the cage would move.
"Patriarch Xuanyuan, what's his name?"
"Your Highness, he doesn't have a name. I gave him the name Iron Slave."
"Open the cage. I'll go in and take a look!"
Ye Xuan knew that Iron Slave was a fierce person. If he could take him under his command, he would be an expert with a little training.
"Your Highness, you can't. If Iron Slave is enraged, I'm afraid it will hurt you."
Ye Xuan walked to the front of the cell and looked at Iron Slave. "I'll take you out of here, how about it?"
Iron Slave looked at Ye Xuan quietly, and the manic aura on his body was restrained a lot. "Open the door."
Xuanyuan Tuo gestured to the old man beside him. "Hurry up and open the door!"
Ye Xuan entered the cage and stood in front of Iron Slave. "Do you want to go outside? I know you want freedom. I can give you all of this."
"I don't believe you," Iron Slave replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly launched an attack on Ye Xuan in a frenzy, and the sound of dark iron chains clanking against each other was heard...
"Your Highness, it's dangerous!" Xuanyuan Tuo was shocked. If Ye Xuan was injured in the slave market, the Xuanyuan family would be doomed. "Hurry up and invite Elder Wu here."
"Patriarch Xuanyuan, tell everyone to leave. I have something to say to Iron Slave. This is an order," Ye Xuan said lightly. His body flashed and he dodged Iron Slave's violent attack. "You can't hit me."
Iron Slave glared at Ye Xuan as if to say, "I'll let you run, but when I catch you, I'll... Hehehe..."
