“Your Highness, have you forgotten your ident.i.ty? Open your eyes and take a good look. You keep saying that you want to kill them. They’re just ordinary people. You’re the Crown Prince. In the future, you’ll inherit the throne. The people you want to kill are all your people.”

Daoist Yun Guan was wearing a black Daoist robe. With a gentle wave of his silver horsetail whisk, the imperial guards surrounding him were pushed away. He seemed to be walking on clouds as he briskly arrived in front of Liu Sanniang.

“I’m Daoist Yun Guan, the sect master of Nebula Temple.”

Daoist Yun Guan looked at Liu Sanniang indifferently and turned to speak to the commoners.

Now, almost all the infected people in the capital were here. Some of the people who were taken away by the soldiers would come over sooner or later after they heard the resistance.

Some people with symptoms of infection would also come. In order to survive, there was nothing people would not do.

As the chosen one, Liu Sanniang should sacrifice herself for the sake of these people. Her death was insignificant compared to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

This was his trap, a trap that he prepared for a long time. Xia Hongming sent people to bring Daoist Yun Guan over. He intended to come over anyway, so when the imperial guards came for him, he followed without hesitation.

Daoist Yun Guan looked at Xia Hongming with a stern and cold expression. “Your Highness, have you told your subjects the truth?”

The commoners were furious. “The truth? What is the truth?”

Daoist Yun Guan said coldly, “The truth about the origin of the plague.”

Xia Hongming gritted his teeth and was furious. He clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress his anger. “You still have the cheek to say that? You were the one who caused this plague. Do you want to blame Miss Liu?”

Daoist Yun Guan looked away. “Since ancient times, the Cloud Breaking Sect has been the number one sect.”

“The Cloud Breaking Sect has countless followers, but the Xia Dynasty was abandoned by the Cloud Breaking Sect. Because of Liu Sanniang, the Star Reaching Tower collapsed less than two months after Cloud Breaking Sect’s departure. Now that the plague is spreading, isn’t it in line with the prediction of the Cloud Breaking Sect that wars will break out and people will be displaced.”

Xia Hongming was so angry that he took off his helmet, got off the horse, and rushed into the crowd. “It’s precisely because of demons like you that the Xia Dynasty is in danger.”

“If this country is really going to fall, it will be because the people are cowards. The war has never disappeared. It’s precisely because elite soldiers guarding the border fight with their lives that we can enjoy stability. If my people are no longer brave, it’s only a matter of time because this country falls.”

“Look at how selfish you are. Look at how sinister you are. You are worse than animals. You are letting down the soldiers who died in the battle.”

Xia Hongming’s face was red like an angry beast. He didn’t even know why he was so angry, but when he thought of the b.l.o.o.d.y battle on the border, he couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart.

How could they blame a woman for the downfall of a country?

The commoners were all frightened by him. From the moment he dismounted, he was no longer a high and mighty member of the royal family. He took off his helmet and stood side by side with people suffering from the plague.

The commoners were shocked. They only had one thought in their minds, and that was that he would definitely be infected.

Elder Ge’s voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said slowly, “With such a wise ruler in the future, we have nothing to be afraid of.”

Xia Hongming paused for a moment. There was blood in his mouth and his throat was in extreme pain. He said with difficulty, “I’ve known Miss Liu for a long time. It’s all thanks to Miss Liu that we can get rid of Miao Yin, Hui Zhen, and Yuan Hui. If she’s evil, then there will be no good in this world.”

“You’re all infected, and so will I. If Miss Liu can’t save people, 1’11 die with you.”

Xia Hongming’s eyes were firm. Wherever he looked, the commoners lowered their heads and did not dare to look him in the eyes. At this moment, Xia Hongming already had the regal aura of an emperor.

People believed him.

Even if some still had objections, they were too frightened to speak.

Whoosh!

The soldiers took off their helmets and knelt on one knee. “I’m willing to follow Your Highness to the death.”

Looking at these unyielding soldiers who followed the crown prince loyally, the commoners could not help but feel touched.

They knelt down. “We are willing to believe Your Highness.”

Elder Ge knelt on the ground. “With such a crown prince in the Xia Dynasty who loves the people like his son, even if we die, we have no complaints.”

Xia Hongming looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please set up the array.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Okay.”

Daoist Yun Guan’s face darkened and his voice was cold. “Hahahaha… You’re really hopeless. What a pity. What a pity. What awaits you is destruction.”

Xia Hongming looked at Daoist Yun Guan coldly. “Demon, I won’t let you off.”

Daoist Yun Guan mocked coldly, “Your Highness, you chose to believe in demons. The plague will not subside. If Liu Sanniang sacrifices herself, she might be able to get rid of the plague.”

“It’s a pity that Liu Sanniang is not willing to die for you. If she doesn’t die, all of you will die. Her body is indestructible. The flesh that’s eaten away will grow back. Will Liu Sanniang tell you this?”

Daoist Yun Guan looked at Liu Sanniang and smiled coldly. “She won’t tell you this because even the chosen one is selfish.”

Daoist Yun Guan stared at Liu Sanniang like a poisonous snake. If Liu Sanniang didn’t die, he would. He wanted to live.

He had spent so much effort to get to where he was today. How could he be willing to give up? He was the one who would win until the end..
