Cui Heng’s envoy?
The huge county office was instantly filled with a strange atmosphere.
These Deity Realm experts, Angels, State Overseers, and Family Heads looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.
Now that a war was imminent and the world was watching, it was impossible to stop the
war.
What was the use of sending an envoy over at this time? Could it be that he wanted to beg for an intact corpse?
“What do you think we should do with this envoy?” Xie Tianxing was the first to speak and looked around at everyone.
He was the Upper World Angel of the Xie family.
As the Xie family’s influence in the Upper World was the strongest among everyone present, his words naturally carried the most weight.

He could be said to be the nominal leader.
Of course, it was only when he was dealing with matters that he had such authority.
When they actually distributed the benefits, they still had to argue with each other.
“We might as well just kill him!”
The State Overseer, Tao Zheng, said concisely.
He was a retainer nurtured by the Wang Family of Langya in secret. He listened to Wang Donglin and stayed behind to specially stir up trouble.
“I think he deserves to be killed too!”
This time, the person who spoke was an Upper World Angel from the Ye Clan of Jiangnan. His name was Ye Hui, and he was a Deity Realm expert who had unlocked eight Divine Treasures. He was the strongest expert in the Alliance.
He was the one who had arranged for Wang Donglin to be excluded.
“Although armies usually don’t kill the envoys when they fight, that’s because they want to have room to maneuver,” Ye Hui said in a low voice. “And there’s no possibility of reconciliation between us and Cui Heng. It’s better to kill him directly.”
“I don’t approve.”
Shen Yu spoke. He stood up and was about to say something.
However, seeing that the gazes of many Deity Realm experts, State Overseers, and Family Heads were focused on him, Shen Yu immediately shrank his neck. “What I mean is that even if we want to kill this envoy, we have to hear what he wants to say first. It won’t be too late to kill him after hearing it.”
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
“Yes, that’s true.”
“Let’s hear what he has to say first before we kill him.”
“What if there’s some important news?”
It was often easier to obtain the approval of most people by giving a slightly more moderate opinion after a more radical opinion.
This was a very common thing.
Xie Tianxing and Ye Hui looked at each other. After thinking for a moment, they seemed to have reached an agreement with their eyes and nodded.
“Then let that envoy in first.”
“We can listen to what this envoy has to say first.”
….
Liu Litao was still outside Changxing County.
A total of 30 armored and armed soldiers surrounded him, their long sabers pressed against his neck.
If he dared to act rashly, they would kill him on the spot.
“Do you know what you’re doing?” Liu Litao’s face was calm as he glared at these soldiers coldly. He shouted sternly, “I’m the envoy of the Fengzhou State Overseer. How dare you be so rude!”
When these soldiers heard his roar, they felt a little puzzled.
This was the first time they had seen such a fearless envoy.
They had an army of two million and many cultivators with unbelievable power. It would be easy for them to sweep through the entire Fengzhou with such force. That Fengzhou State Overseer, Cui Heng, would definitely die.
Cui Heng’s side was naturally at a disadvantage. Their side had the absolute advantage.
But under such circumstances, how could this Fengzhou envoy still dare to be so arrogant?
Could it be that he was really not afraid of death?
Was Liu Litao afraid of death?
Of course he was afraid of death!
That was why he had wanted to give up the position of Governor of Lu County in the first place.
However, he was not afraid when facing a situation where he could not die.
Cui Heng had promised to protect his life.
Then there was no danger.
He could let himself go.
Moreover, his mission here was to read the death list.
In Liu Litao’s opinion, this group of rebels in Changxing County City were already people who would die.
There was no need to be polite with a group of dead people.
“Who is Fengzhou’s envoy?” At this moment, the messenger’s voice came from the city gate. “The two Angels have allowed Envoy Liu to enter the city.”
The soldiers put down their long sabers and made way.
“That’s more like it.” Liu Litao straightened his clothes and was about to walk forward when he suddenly stopped. He looked at the messenger and frowned. “Why is there only one messenger?
“I’m a State Overseer’s envoy. Don’t you even have a ceremony to welcome me? Is this an alliance of preeminent families, or an alliance formed by a group of uncivilized savages?
“I won’t enter the city unless you follow the rules and welcome me properly!”
Since ancient times, the attitude of the envoys represented the ability of the main official.
The stronger the envoy, the more confident the person behind him was.
If the envoy was obsequious, it meant that the main official behind him was not confident.
Liu Litao’s goal was very clear.
As an envoy, he had to display the might of the main official.
The messenger was stunned.
The surrounding soldiers were also dumbfounded.
Was this envoy really not here to court death?
However, they did not have the guts to really kill Liu Litao. The messenger could only return to report.
In the Governor’s Office.
When everyone heard Liu Litao’s words, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a
fly.
However, there were also people who were surprised.
Could it be that Cui Heng had obtained something to rely on? But what kind of reliance could make him not fear two million troops and numerous Deity Realm experts?
“This fellow is too arrogant. We should just skin him alive and dismember him!” Tao Zheng jumped out again.
“No!” Shen Yu hurriedly dissuaded him. He did not want to fight to the death.
“It’s indeed not appropriate.” Xie Tianxing thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Since he wants etiquette, let’s do as he says and prepare to welcome him.”
“I have no objections.” Ye Hui nodded.
Although they also hated Liu Litao to the extreme, they had just issued an order to meet the envoy. How could they go back on their word now?
It might even affect the final distribution of benefits.
Wasn’t it just some etiquette?
It was not like it would hurt them.
Just like that, under the dumbfounded expressions of the city guards and messengers, Liu Litao swaggered into Changxing County.
He was walking on a bright red carpet. On both sides stood beautiful young women who bowed.
There was also music coming from behind.
A high platform had already been set up in front of the county magistrate’s office.
The 27 leaders of the Battle Cui Alliance were all on it. They looked at Liu Litao, who was slowly walking over, with different expressions.
Xie Tianxing and Ye Hui were both Upper World Angels and did not know much about the etiquette of the mortal world, so they did not feel much about it.
However, the State Overseers had ugly expressions.
How was this like receiving an enemy envoy?
They were completely welcoming the envoys of the Heavenly Court!
This was too ridiculous!
This was absurd!
“You’re Fengzhou’s envoy?” Xie Tianxing stood on the platform and looked down.
“That’s right, I am.” Liu Litao nodded, but he did not stop. He continued walking forward, intending to ascend this platform.
“Stop right there!”
“Stop!”
The guards below the platform immediately stepped forward to stop him.
“What is the meaning of this?” Liu Litao’s face was filled with confusion. He frowned and said, “I’m the envoy of Fengzhou. I’m here as if I’m the State Overseer himself. Why do I have to be below when you’re standing on the platform? This is an act of rudeness that only uncivilized barbarians would do.”
Uncivilized barbarians…
Xie Tianxing was so angry that he almost wanted to kill someone on the spot, but it was already too late to back down. He could only wave his hand and say, “Let him come up!”
“Heh, that’s right.” Liu Litao nodded and continued to swagger up the platform. He stood in front of the leaders of the chaotic army and slowly took out a note. He smiled and said, “Everyone, listen up. This is what the Lord Overseer wants to tell you.”
His attitude was still very arrogant, as if he did not take the 27 people on the platform seriously at all.
At this moment, this group of people was suppressing their anger in their hearts. They glared at Liu Litao coldly, planning to skin him alive after he finished speaking.
Otherwise, it would not be enough to vent their anger.
“Xie Tianxing, Upper World Angel of the Xie Family of Pingshan, Upper World Angel of the Ye Family of Jiangnan, Ye Hui… Upper World Angel of the Bai Family of Quzhou, Bai Songnian, State Overseer of Yuzhou, Qin Kang… State Overseer of Yanzhou, Tao Zheng, and State Overseer of Youzhou, Shen Yu!”
csee
Liu Litao read out the names of the 27 leaders of the Battle Cui Alliance. Just as these people were confused, he continued
“The 27 of you have mobilized an army and gathered friends to harm the people of Fengzhou. Your sins are monstrous. From today onwards, I will draw three people’s name every day and take all your heads in nine days!”
With that, he put the piece of paper back into his sleeve and laughed loudly. “This is the message from the Lord Overseer. Goodbye!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Litao had already walked down from the platform.
His footsteps were fast.
No one stopped him at all because everyone was still stunned. They almost thought that they were hallucinating.
How bold must one be to dare to provoke an army of two million and 17 Deity Realm experts like this?!
Liu Litao wanted to walk out quickly, but he felt his heart thumping in his chest. He could not help but turn around to look at the stunned crowd, his heart filled with extreme excitement.
This feeling was too damn exciting.
“Catch him! Don’t let this fellow escape!”
But at this moment, Xie Tianxing finally reacted to what was going on. He roared and ordered, “Capture him and hang him on the city gate tower. Cut him into pieces and execute him!”
He felt like he’d been played.
An Upper World Angel like him, one of the leaders of the Battle Cui Alliance, was played by a fellow who was not even at the Xiantian realm in front of everyone!
It was extremely hateful!
The densely packed soldiers quickly surrounded Liu Litao and placed their weapons on his neck again.
However, he was still fearless as he sneered. “Do you not believe my words, or do you not believe Lord Overseer’s words? Accept reality. From today onwards, three of your heads will be taken away every day!”
“Nonsense!” Xie Tianxing was furious and shouted, “Drag him away!”
Clang!
At this moment, a sword cry suddenly came from the sky. It was as if a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and arrived in the sky above Changxing County.
Three bamboo sticks fell from the sky.
They landed on the platform.
“Hahaha, the Lord Overseer’s Divine Sword has arrived!” Liu Litao laughed loudly. “Hurry up and take a look. Which three of you are so lucky?”
“Shut him up!” Xie Tianxing ordered the soldiers, but he felt a wave of fear in his heart. He could not help but pick up the bamboo slip on the ground and look at the words on it. He muttered, “Xie Tianxing, Ye Hui, Bai Songnian… there’s my name?!”
This made his heart skip a beat.
Immediately after, this almighty Angel from the Upper World suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
The world spun around him.
In the next moment, he saw his own headless body, and blood poured out of his neck like a fountain.
He also saw a sword light circling around Ye Hui and Bai Songnian’s necks like a nimble snake.
Their heads also fell to the ground!
“What that fellow said just now was actually… true?!”
This was Xie Tianxing’s last thought. What followed was endless darkness.
At the same time, the expressions on everyone’s faces froze.
They felt their limbs turn cold, and a bone-piercing chill rose from their feet to the top of their head.
An unprecedented fear filled their hearts.
At this moment, be it the Deity Realm experts, the Upper World Angels, the heads of the preeminent families, or the State Overseers, their faces were pale.
It was true!
It was actually true!!
