Chapter 1453 The Final Negotiation
The crowd was wavering, and the team seemed to be on the verge of copse.
Ke Zhan looked at Zi Yan with a wry smile and said, “Moon Empress, do we still have any hope?”
“Hope…” Zi Yan was silent for two seconds. She spoke as if she were talking to herself, “Yes. My husband will pick me up. Yeah.”
She came to her senses and said in a determined tone, “We still have hope. Although I’ve never said it, that’s the truth. My husband wille to pick me up.”
“May I know who your husband is? What cultivation level is he at?” The others’ expressions changed slightly.
Even those who wereining had stopped.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ziyan.
No one saw the expression on her face under the ck robe, but her tone gave people hope. “I don’t know the specific realm, but when my husband was cultivating, an ident happened. The space was torn apart. I was teleported a long distance toe here…”
Zi Yan was telling the truth, but what she said was ambiguous.
However, everyone present was a little shocked. “He created spatial rifts during cultivation? What kind of strength does he have?”
“He can’t be a Supreme Expert, right?!”
“Moon Empress’s husband is definitely not ordinary!”
“Does this mean that… we still have a chance?”
Zi Yan nodded and said, “Yes. As long as my husband gets here, we will be safe.”
They had some hope in despair. It shut theints of those who wereining.
“Call for all the aircraft. I’m Ke Zhan. We’ll escape to the surface. We still have reinforcements and hope. Moon Empress’s husband is on his way here. When he arrives, we’ll be safe!”
Ke Zhan sent the message to many aircraft.
They had hope again.
In this ce, although some people formed alliances quickly, there were still some people who were loyal.
The moment they heard the news, they allughed. Someone joked, “So our Moon Empress has a husband.”
“Moon Empress’s voice is particrly pleasant to the ear. She should be a beautifuldy. I used to believe the rumor that Moon Empress is ugly.”
“How powerful is Moon Empress’s husband? She didn’t say what realm he was in.”
“Anyway, we have reinforcements. Let’s buy some time on this.”
“…”
Everyone’s idea had changed from “no way to escape” to “how to buy time on this”.
The fleet was vast and mighty.
On the way, everyone was worried about whether the enemy’s fleet wouldunch a bombardment.
Unexpectedly, they came to the surface of the very smoothly.
The fleets in the void of the universe looked at them quietly as if they were deliberately letting their prey escape first before continuing the game of hunting.
Some people also noticed that the enemy’s fleets were sending out a lot of aircraft to seal off the.
Five hours passed.
“Your Majesty, the blockade isplete.”
One of the Fifth Heavenly King’s subordinates reported.
The Fifth Heavenly King didn’t even raise his eyes and said in a t tone, “Begin the bombardment and force them to a continent.”
Several of his subordinates were already used to his means. Bombarding a could totally destroy it. The Fifth Heavenly King had bombarded many Barren Stars as well as civilizeds before.
When Emperor Ao of the ckhill Empire heard the news, he burst outughing.
“Send out all the king vessels to assist in the bombardment.”
In the void of the universe where the was located, king vessels were lined up in a certain area.
“Ion Energy Cannons are prepared to charge.”
The countdown for the bombardment began. 60, 59, 58…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Huge light beams began to fall from the sky to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Arge-scale bombardment wasunched.
The ground cracked, huge stones flew in all directions, and ashes began to wreak havoc on the ground.
“They’ve begun bombarding the.”
Many people around Zi Yan began to speak.
“As expected, their first wave of attacks is to bombard us and force us to a certain ce.”
“We still have a few choices. First, go to a cave under the cier. Second, go deep into the sea. Third, go to an underground cave that’s deep enough. Fourth, stay on the surface and wait for them to finish bombarding the continent. Then, we’ll go back and forth to hide. No matter which way we use, we’ll be able to buy some time.”
“I suggest that we divide into several teams and hide separately. Except for a few people like the Fifth Heavenly King, we don’t need to be afraid of most of them.”
They analyzed and considered all kinds of situations.
However, to their surprise, the bombardmentsted for a whole day and night. The enemy blew up the three times.
After the bombardment of the king vessels was over, some KW3019 bombers got to the surface one after one.
“Alert. Underground Energy Bombs detected.”
...
This time, many people’s expressions changed. “They’re going to bombard the further? Aren’t they afraid that the will explode?”
If they really blew up the, they would also suffer heavy losses, and even most of them would not be able to escape.
Under normal circumstances, even if they were chasing after enemies, they wouldn’t blow up a so decisively. Moreover, they were clearly aware that Moon Empress still had the legendary Roc in her possession. So, how could the Fifth Heavenly King possibly make such a bad decision when he had taken a fancy to the Roc?
Many people knew that even if the other party bombarded the like this, it was just their means. Before the Fifth Heavenly King got the Roc, it was impossible for him to kill the people of the Purple Moon Empire.
However, they were still scared.
“What should we do?”
Many of the people from the Purple Moon Empire were at a loss.
Many of them were injured by the explosion, and those who were unlucky even died directly.
“It can’t go on like this.”
An old man, one of the core members who couldn’t hold it in any longer, suggested, “Since the Fifth Heavenly King wants us to gather, let’s just do it. We can take this chance and negotiate with him. Moon Empress’s husband is not an ordinary person. The Fifth Heavenly King would be more or less wary of him.”
“That’s right. Let’s gather. If this goes on, no one can take it.”
...
“We can indeed negotiate with the Fifth Heavenly King.”
“We have no choice. When our spaceships ran out of Energy Stones and couldn’t move forward, we had already lost. Even if we lose, we have to see the reality.”
These words resonated with the crowd.
It was true that when their spaceship couldn’t move forward, they had lostpletely and simply.
The only and most important bargaining chip they had now was Moon Empress’s Roc.
Ke Zhan was silent.
The general trend could not be stopped. Judging from the reactions of the dozens of high-position officials present, almost 90% of them agreed with this decision.
It was as if they were forcing Moon Empress to abdicate. He knew very well that the ultimate price might be the sacrifice of Moon Empress alone, but how could they, the high-position officials, escape?
“This won’t work.”
Ke Zhan did not say anything. He did not have much of a say in any decisions in this group.
“Inform all the teams to gather in the in area here.”
Some people overstepped their boundaries. They didn’t even ask Zi Yan, Ke Zhan, and a few other decision-makers before directly giving the order.
The others did as they were told and informed their subordinate teams one after another.
Around the, many teams began to rise to a low altitude and quickly gathered in the in area where Zi Yan was.
“Your Majesty, they’ve assembled!”
One of the Fifth Heavenly King’s subordinates reported.
“So soon?” The Fifth Heavenly King finally opened his eyes, which were shining. “When they gather together, send out everyone to seal off the area.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The men of the Fifth Heavenly King began to take action.
Countless aircraft densely flew to the ground and began to set up an encirclement.
After hearing the news, Emperor Ao of the ckhill Empire immediately stood up from his seat.
He stared at the screen and waved his hand, saying, “Drop the Hurricane Bombs at the gathering ce to blow away the dust. Next, I want all the forces in the Star Area to witness what will happen to the Purple Moon Empire!”
Just as the Fifth Heavenly King’s men took action, dozens of artillery shells exploded in the sky.
The violent wind howled and blew in all directions from the explosion point.
A clean ce appeared on the with foul air.
However, thisnd seemed to be about to face an even greater disaster.
Just six hourster, the people on Zi Yan’s side gathered on the in.
There were too manybat aircraft around, and the enemy forces were gathering there.
It was as though a great battle was about to begin.
“With the Fifth Heavenly King here, we have no chance to escape.”
Even a few core subordinates of Zi Yan thought of this.
“I thought I could buy some time, but the Fifth Heavenly King’s means are too fierce. For us, the safest way is to hand over Moon Empress.”
“As long as the restrictions are appropriate, nothing will happen to us. We’ll see if Moon Empress can…”
“No one wants to die,” someone rejected. “Moon Empress is very decisive in the killing.”
“Haha, after such a long time, we have also figured out Moon Empress’s cultivation realm. It is nothing more than the Void-refining Realm. To tell you the truth, Emperor Ao of the ckhill Empire is a master in the Integration Realm.”
Everyone seemed to have their own thoughts. They formed cliques and waited for the arrival of the Fifth Heavenly King.
“Start the live broadcast now!”
Before Emperor Ao of the ckhill Empire was about to depart, he gave his subordinates the order.
On their special website, a live broadcast was on.
“What kind of live broadcast is this? The destruction of the Purple Moon Empire? Is this happening?”
“It seems to be a barren on the camera.”
The number of viewers gradually increased. Even some of the noble families in the Star Area where the ckhill Empire was located couldn’t help but gasp when they saw the Fifth Heavenly King on camera.
“It’s been a year, and the Fifth Heavenly King is still hunting those people down. What did the ckhill Empire do to win the Fifth Heavenly King’s favor?”
“Looks like we’ll have to have apletely new appraisal of the ckhill Empire’s power.”
The effect was not bad. It was almost the same as what Emperor Ao had expected.
But at this moment, Emperor Ao was standing beside the Fifth Heavenly King, looking very well-behaved.
The group of people flew through the void, with the Fifth Heavenly King leading the way. Behind him were a few of his core subordinates, as well as Emperor Ao and the others.
Behind them were many aircraft.
It was a vast and mighty army pressing down.
From the sky, they could see the Purple Moon Empire’s aircraft legion and the core members standing in the center.
“Hahaha. Purple Moon! How do you feel now?”
Emperor Aoughed out loud. From a distance, he said arrogantly, “How dare you challenge our ckhill Empire? The Purple Moon Empire hasmitted a grave crime. The so-called Moon Empress, your leader, has not been recognized. Even the three magnates have agreed to destroy her. As the remaining evils of the Purple Moon Empire, you’ll die today! The Fifth Heavenly King is here. Why aren’t you kneeling yet?”
He was extremely arrogant.
However, in the eyes of Ke Zhan and his men, the winner had the right to be arrogant.
Even so, no one paid any attention to Emperor Ao.
They all knew that the decision-maker was the Fifth Heavenly King, so Emperor Ao had nothing to do with this.
“I really didn’t expect that a small force could keep escaping under my nose for a whole year.”
The Fifth Heavenly King suddenly spoke.
He looked at Zi Yan and said tly, “It is said that no one has ever seen the face of the Purple Moon Empire’s Moon Empress. Now that you have be a prisoner, take off your tattered ck robe and show me your face.”
“There’s no need for this. Fifth Heavenly King, just tell me what you want,” Zi Yan said calmly.
She was very calm at this time. In the face of such a situation, she knew that she had to be calm.
“It’s simple. Hand over what I want,” the Fifth Heavenly King said bluntly.
“What if I don’t hand it over?” Zi Yan said.
“You don’t?”
The Fifth Heavenly King smiled. His smile was a little yful, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
He flicked his sleeve.
Rumble!
He grabbed a mountain from a distance and threw it into the air. The invisible energy magnified the mountain dozens of times and smashed it into the crowd of the Purple Moon Empire.
“AAAAH!”
More than ten thousand people were killed or injured in a single strike.
Many people began to panic.
No one had expected the Fifth Heavenly King to be so ruthless and make a move as soon as he spoke.
“Will you hand it over now?” the Fifth Heavenly King asked again.
“No.” Zi Yan’s palms trembled slightly.
This feeling was simply too terrible.
Rumble!
Another powerful attack killed thousands of people.
“Will you hand it over now?”
“No.”
Zi Yan closed her eyes.
There were already a lot of words lingering in her ears.
“Moon Empress, hand it over! We won’t die if you hand it over!”
“Many people have died. They are all your brothers who have fought with you for your empire!”
“Moon Empress, everyone’s lives and deaths are in your hands.”
Some high-position officials even said, “Fifth Heavenly King, don’t kill us. We can persuade Moon Empress.”
“Hmm?”
The look on the face of the Fifth Heavenly King became more yful. He smiled faintly and said, “Okay. I’ll give you 10 minutes.”
At this moment, the Fifth Heavenly King was like a god that controlled life and death.
What he didn’t know was that a series of fleets were speeding over from the secondary space not far away.
