Chapter 550 Star Ape Incident
The unexpected turn of events made the expressions of the King of Jin and Shi Tianze turn much more unpleasant.
In that case, he wouldn't be able to kill Ye Ru here at all.
Moreover, the people from the National Academy haven't come yet, which means they want to protect Ye Ru.
"Do you want to raze the capital of Jin to the ground, or let us go? Choose one."
Seeing the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, Long Hai smiled and said something, but the chill beneath his smile made them all somewhat angry.
After all, if this matter were to spread, their Jin Kingdom would become a laughing stock for all time.
Although this matter will be erased from the history of the Jin state, historians from the other nine states will certainly not give up on it.
But now, even if they were given another great Confucian scholar, they probably still wouldn't be able to defeat Ye Ru's side.
"What should we do, Your Majesty?"
Ji Ling turned her head and looked at the Jin king, whose face was ashen, and said.
"What else can we do? Our people are no match for them."
The King of Jin said coldly, then raised his head and looked at Ye Ru:
"Ye Ru, you killed 100,000 soldiers of my Jin Kingdom and just left like that. How am I supposed to explain this?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's lips curled into a mocking smile:
"Explain? When you killed 100,000 of my heroic souls, why didn't you ever think about asking us to explain?"
"When you ambushed me, did you never think I would have to confess?"
"If you insist on giving an explanation, then I'll fight to the death. Even if I, Ye Ru, die in battle, I'll take a few of you down with me. At the very least, I'll kill your King of Jin."
"Good! Ruthless enough!"
The King of Jin took a deep breath, suppressing his rage. Just as he was about to say something, the sky suddenly darkened, followed by a golden light that flashed by, and a figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Half Saint!
Only a demigod could remain calm under such pressure.
"My Lord Half-Saint, you must stand up for us!"
'This Ye Ru thinks too highly of himself. Not only did he kill people from my Jin state, but he also stirred up trouble in the capital. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to be punished by heaven and earth.'
When the ruler of Jin saw that it was his own semi-saint, he immediately knelt on one knee and prayed.
The demigod is finally going to get involved in this matter.
Ye Ru and the others looked at the half-saint from the Jin Kingdom with somewhat solemn expressions.
He didn't know which side the other party was on, so it was always better to be cautious.
"Let's leave it at that. Ye Ru, you should have already obtained the ashes of those 100,000 heroic souls, right?"
The half-saint of Jin pondered for a moment, then spoke.
'Yes, I've received it.'
Ye Ru nodded and said.
Upon hearing that the Jin Kingdom's semi-saint wanted to protect Ye Ru, the expressions of the Jin Kingdom's ruler and Shi Tianze and others became even more unpleasant.
"Since that's the case, then go back. And Shi Tianze, as the head of the Shi family, you not only failed to set a good example, but you also acted like a child, causing so much trouble for my Jin Kingdom. What is your crime?"
“This boy killed my son, an irreconcilable feud. I am merely giving him a taste of his own medicine. What crime have I committed?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianze gritted his teeth and then continued speaking.
"Take a look at this."
The Jin Kingdom's half-saint was not angry. He simply waved his sleeve, and a light screen opened up, revealing the scene of Shi Yu and Ye Ru's battle, as well as Shi Yu's hidden murderous intent to kill Ye Ru.
"Do you understand now?"
The half-saint of Jin spoke slowly, his voice soft yet resounding like thunder, echoing in everyone's ears.
"call……"
Taking a deep breath, Shi Tianze closed his eyes, as if using all his strength, and said:
"Understood, I will now depart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Tianze glared at Ye Ru with resentment, then stepped on the rain and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Ji Ling, you have taken things out of context and instigated the king to kill my human scholars. What is your crime?"
After dealing with Shi Tianze, the Jin Kingdom's half-saint looked at Ji Ling, who was pale-faced, and then said coldly.
As his words fell, the sky suddenly turned extremely cold, and snowflakes began to fall, landing on everyone and making them feel extremely cold.
"I……"
Ji Ling lowered his head, his body trembling uncontrollably. Then, he knelt down with a thud and said:
"I am ignorant and blinded by hatred. I beg you, Your Excellency, to have mercy and spare my life."
"Spare your life? Do you expect me to instigate the king in the future?"
The half-saint of Jin glared at him and questioned him.
The snow fell even heavier.
"Since...since the Half-Saint will not forgive me, then I should commit suicide to atone for my sins..."
Summoning her courage, Ji Ling revealed a hidden killing intent in her eyes, then suddenly leaped up and fiercely slammed towards Ye Ru.
"Stubborn to the end! Stop!"
The Jin Kingdom's half-saint's eyes flashed, and with a light tap of his finger, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and Ji Ling was also suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
This move greatly surprised Ye Ru, who once again witnessed the terror of a half-saint.
With a mere gesture, he could easily annihilate a scholar; such power was simply too domineering.
"In the name of a semi-saint, I declare that Ji Ling instigated the ruler of Jin to kill my human scholars, a capital offense."
"Secondly, Ji Ling has shown no remorse, so the Ji family is sentenced to be barred from taking the imperial examinations for three generations for a hundred years, and his family members are exiled to Hanzhou for thirty years and are not allowed to return to the country."
"Execution!"
After the Jin Kingdom's half-saint finished speaking, he clenched his fist, and the surrounding air pressed down on Ji Ling once again. The powerful force directly pulverized Ji Ling into blood foam.
When the King of Jin saw this scene, his face turned pale. Now he finally understood why Ye Ru dared to act so recklessly.
Because behind him are the All Saints' Council and the National Saints' Council!
"The students are willing to accept the punishment."
Then, the ruler of Jin knelt down and said in a deep voice.
"To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. Go to your father's grave and reflect for a year until you comprehend one of the classic texts. During this time, your second brother will take over the administration of the court."
Nodding, Jin Guo's semi-saintly way.
"Yes!"
After dealing with these people, the Jin Kingdom's semi-saint turned his attention back to Ye Ru, Long Hai, and the others:
"The matter has now been resolved. This whole affair was caused by my Jin state. Fortunately, it did not escalate into a major disaster. I hope you will not pursue this matter too much and will obediently return to your Yanhuang state to report back."
Hearing this, Ye Ru had no reason to disobey. Besides, the National Academy of Jin Kingdom hadn't even intervened when the Dragon Army entered the city. If they were to pursue the matter further, they would be considered tactless.
With Ye Ru's intelligence, he would naturally have thought of this.
"Very well, thank you for your arbitration, Half-Saint. I will take my leave now."
Ye Ru bowed to him, then addressed the crowd:
"let's go."
"Ah."
"Thank you, Half-Saint."
"Thank you, Half-Saint, for opening up the air defenses of Jin Kingdom, allowing us to enter this place and welcome Young Dragon Lord home."
After thanking the half-saint from Jin, everyone left.
Countless dark shadows flew across the sky, drawing everyone's gaze upwards.
These scholars looked up at the sky and gasped when they saw that it was filled with giant dragons. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the dragon race was invading the human race.
However, when they saw that the dragons showed no signs of attacking, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, though they had no idea why the dragons had come here.
"Young Dragon Lord, what do we do next?"
On the dragon, several people sat cross-legged, gathered together, with a young man in the center.
After a moment, the boy opened his eyes, and Long Hai asked in a low voice.
"We need to go to the Star Ape Clan. Aren't you going back to the Dragon Clan?"
Ye Ru asked in confusion.
Logically speaking, if dragons don't have any missions, they usually return to their garrison.
"We don't need to. The Dragon Clan has its own Dragon Clan Army to guard us. We've already disappeared for so many years, what's a few more days of disappearance?"
Long Hai smiled and said.
They were originally abandoned by the dragon race, and because the dragon lord who was supposed to protect them had scattered, they no longer had a place in the dragon race.
"Then you'll follow me for now. After I leave the Star Ape Clan, I'll head to the Dragon Clan and ask them something..."
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Ru continued, "Also, ask about my mother."
"Alright, then let's set off for the Star Ape Clan. I wonder if the previous Star Ape King is still around."
Long Hai nodded, then changed course and headed towards the Star Ape Clan.
"Star Ape King, how far is this place from your Star Ape clan? Can you get here before nightfall?"
Ye Ru turned his head and asked.
"It should be possible. I haven't been back to my homeland for a long time, and I don't know how things are in my tribe."
The Star Ape King raised his head and looked into the distance, seemingly reminiscing.
"Let's go then, and try to get there before dark."
Ye Ru nodded, and the dragons all sped up, like streaks of light.
He didn't know if the Jin Kingdom still had any pursuers. As long as he reached the territory of the Yanhuang Kingdom or the Star Ape Clan, he would be safe.
In a forest, countless monkeys appeared to be seriously ill, on the verge of death, adding a touch of ferocity to this blessed land.
Swish!
In a grove of trees, amidst the rustling leaves, several monkeys darted out, appearing quite frightened, as if something was chasing them.
"You can't escape!"
brush!
Three tiger-headed men followed closely behind, leaping out and grabbing at a monkey.
Judging from their appearance, it seems they intend to kill these monkeys!
The monkey, having exhausted its strength, eventually stopped and waited to die.
boom!
However, just as the three tiger-headed men were getting closer, a burst of energy came from afar. The energy directly pierced through the three tiger-headed men, who were struck as if by lightning, crashing through more than a dozen large trees before finally stopping.
"who!"
The last remaining tiger-headed man stared intently at his surroundings, a chill creeping into his heart.
However, just as he finished speaking, a figure rushed over and grabbed his neck tightly.
