"you!!!" Facing Ximen Qingyan's questioning, Chu Yao's face became extremely ugly. Although she firmly believed in her heart that nothing would happen to Ye Qing. Even the ancient descendants of the Immortal Mountain couldn't do anything to him, so how could something go wrong during his retreat? But now, she can no longer suppress all kinds of rumors from the outside world. Today, Ximen Qingyan brought so many ASEAN members here and brought up this matter in public. Her intentions are naturally self-evident. "Ancestor Linglong, as a senior of the Seven Sacred Lands, we in ASEAN have always respected you very much." Chu Yao's face darkened and she said in a cold voice, "However, whether my husband is seriously injured or not, this is our ASEAN's internal affairs." "As a senior from the Holy Land, why do you insist on interfering?" "Today, I am here to preside over this matter at the invitation of Lord Gongsun of the Wansheng Dynasty." Facing Chu Yao's questioning, Linglong Patriarch was even more proud, shrugged and smiled, "Lord Gongsun and I have been friends for many years. Isn't it right for me to stand up for my best friend?"
The more anxious Chu Yao was, the more confident she felt, and she was sure that Ye Qing must have been seriously injured. Therefore, Patriarch Linglong became more and more fearless and boldly handed over the right to speak to Gongsun Wuji. As long as it is confirmed that Ye Qing is seriously injured, no matter how far the discussion goes today, she will take action directly, slaughter the Great Chu Dynasty, support Gongsun Wuji to take the throne, and become the new actual controller of ASEAN. In addition, the most important thing is that Ancestor Linglong wants to seize the immortal sword Taibai left by Ye Qing. Not only does she want to take away Ye Qing's position as one of the Four Emperors, she also wants to replace Ye Qing and become the new Master of Taibai Sword. "Deputy Alliance Leader Chu, I am here today because I am worried about the future of ASEAN." Gongsun Wuji walked forward slowly and sneered, "It has been a whole year since Ye Huang showed up. No one can tell whether he is alive or dead, injured or disabled." “However, ASEAN, as the hope of the Eastern Province, cannot be without a leader for a day.” "Everyone knows that although His Majesty Chu Yao holds the position of deputy leader, he did not obtain this position by relying on his strength, but by relying on the identity of Madam Ye." "Now that Emperor Ye is gone, if His Majesty Chu Yao continues to occupy the position of deputy leader, I am worried that the people will be dissatisfied and cause trouble within the family." "So, I came here today to save His Majesty Chu Yao and the Great Chu Dynasty." When Gongsun Wuji said this, the meaning was clear. He wants to replace Chu Yao, become the leader of Dongzhou, and control the entire ASEAN. Chu Yao took a deep breath and said calmly, "Everyone, I, Chu Yao, am not someone who covets official positions. It doesn't matter to me whether I become the deputy leader or not." "However, the position of ASEAN's deputy leader was the position entrusted to me by my husband." "No one except my husband is qualified to replace me." "At the same time, I can assure you that Ye Huang is only in seclusion for training and will be out soon." "When my husband comes out of seclusion, those who are taking advantage of the situation today will surely be punished." Although Chu Yao's words were sincere, they were obviously not very convincing.
After all, over the past year, most ASEAN members with ulterior motives have conducted countless attempts, both overt and covert. But no matter how they tried, there was no news from Ye Qing, not even a hint of movement. Most people believed that Ye Qing must be seriously injured and could not protect himself. Therefore, those ASEAN members who harbored ulterior motives gathered here today at the invitation of Gongsun Wuji and Ximen Qingyan to force the emperor to abdicate. "Your Majesty Chu Yao, all the earnest words I just said were for your safety." Gongsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty Chu Yao has been in charge of ASEAN for a year. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work." "If you step down now, you can still save yourself." "If you continue to be stubborn, then for the sake of ASEAN's future, I will have to resort to some extraordinary measures." At this time, those ASEAN members who had ulterior motives also spoke up and echoed. "Alliance Leader Chu Yao, His Majesty Gongsun said this out of consideration for your safety." "Please accept His Majesty Gongsun's advice and don't be reluctant to leave." "Without Emperor Ye in charge, do you think Alliance Leader Chu Yao can still hold on to this position?" "If we don't make a decision soon, things will change." Of course, there are also a small number of people who support Chu Yao, but they came here because they were bewitched by Gongsun Wuji. Seeing Chu Yao being attacked by a group of people, these people naturally spoke up to help. "You are so ungrateful. Have you forgotten that without Emperor Ye here for the past year, Deputy Alliance Leader Chu worked so hard to handle ASEAN affairs and resist the counterattack of the demon tribe?" "If it weren't for Vice Alliance Leader Chu's hard work, ASEAN would have already been shattered. How could it have persisted until today?" "That's right. Vice Alliance Leader Chu has spent so much effort on ASEAN. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard!" "You took advantage of Emperor Ye's absence to bully Deputy Alliance Leader Chu." "If Ye Huang returns one day, he will make you pay the price!" Originally, Ximen Qingyan had a joking look on her face as she watched the ASEAN members biting each other in a mocking way. However, when she heard one of the sect leaders mention Ye Qing, her expression suddenly turned gloomy. A ball of spiritual power gathered in his palm and he suddenly blasted it out. The sect leader who mentioned Ye Qing was directly killed and turned into ashes on the spot. Seeing Ximen Qingyan actually committing the crime, the whole place suddenly fell silent and solemn. Everyone had a look of fear on their faces, with beads of cold sweat on their foreheads. "Ye Qing is a thing of the past. Do you still dare to use him to threaten me?" Ximen Qingyan sneered, "Chu Yao, whether you are willing or not, you must give up this position today." "Today, I, Ximen Qingyan, am here to recommend Gongsun Wuji to take over the position of ASEAN leader."
"If anyone is dissatisfied, use this person as an example." Faced with Ximen Qingyan's threat of force, those members who had just dared to speak for Chu Yao instantly shut their mouths in disappointment. Gongsun Wuji appeared to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely happy. Chu Yao, who was sitting on the throne, felt angry and unwilling, but also felt deeply powerless. The year without Ye Qing's protection made her feel pressure from all sides, and she seemed to have aged ten years. Originally, Chu Yao believed that no matter how difficult or dangerous the situation was, she could grit her teeth and hold on to protect the foundation created by Ye Qing. However, in front of a truly powerful person, his own strength is too weak. So meager that even if one is right, one has no say. (End of this chapter)
