The Check-In System, Starting with the Sunflower Martial Art for Eunuchs

Chapter 34: Kill or Be Killed

Asking the mysterious grade-9 master in Changmen Palace to take up the task?

When the Emperor heard this, he fell silent.

Indeed.

If the Grand Xia Dynasty was still able to send out grade-9 masters at the combat arena tomorrow, even if they lost, it would still reflect slightly better on them.

However, if they did not even have a grade-9 master in the arena, then… the imperial court would truly lose all face.

However, when he thought of Chun Fei’s haughty expression, as well as his recent thoughts on how to wipe out Changmen Palace, the flames of rage in the Emperor’s heart surged forth as if oil had been poured on them.

“I’m not going!”

The Emperor waved his hand. In the end, he chose to reject this suggestion. Instead, he said with eyes full of murderous intent, “I will pass this matter on to Xie Feihong and Feng Bao. If they make a mess out of this matter, don’t blame me for my cruelty. I will not care about what they have done in the past!”

As the Emperor, he also had his own dignity.

Going to the Changmen Palace and actively lowering himself was already his limit.

However, Chun Fei did not appreciate his kindness.

Even then, was Little Guizi asking him to go a second time?

Did Little Guizi see him as the Emperor or a beggar?

Of course, most importantly, even if they invited the mysterious grade-9 master from Changmen Palace to come out from seclusion, that master could not possibly be a match for Moragu.

Even if the master went to battle, he would be killed by Moragu in two attacks. What was the point of inviting him then?

Furthermore, he would have to go to Changmen Palace and obsequiously invite the master.

He would rather tone down the airs of an emperor and appear more modest when he met the barbarian envoys the next day. He could even actively show his weakness.

This way…

Perhaps he could trigger the compassion of the barbarian envoys and prompt them to cancel the martial arts exchange. They might not even make things difficult for the imperial court!

If they stepped back, at the very most, they would only have to cede their territory and pay indemnities!

…

…

At Xiangmanlou.

After Shi Chengtian and Dugu Xiong escaped, Bo Ri and Moragu did not chase after them.

Firstly, if grade-9 masters were fully focused on escaping, it was not easy to catch up to them. Secondly, they had achieved their objectives. Thus, there would be no significance in chasing and killing them.

Moreover.

To Moragu, it was not easy for him to display his third attack, Divine Extermination. He would also be injured to a certain extent.

However, since Shi Chengtian had escaped, he did not need to display his third attack.

“It’s a pity… Killing Shi Chengtian would definitely have been very satisfying,” Bo Ri scratched his head and said this with some remorse.

Even though he had been defeated by Shi Chengtian, he still wanted to beat Shi Chengtian to death.

Furthermore.

He had many new realizations from this defeat. When he returned, he would cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. Perhaps his cultivation base and strength that had stagnated for a very long time might improve.

“That’s right!” Bo Ri had suddenly changed the topic and asked, “According to the information I obtained, the Grand Xia Dynasty only has two grade-9 masters this time, Shi Chengtian and Dugu Xiong. Since both of them have fled in defeat today, do we still have to fight tomorrow?”

“Of course!”

Bo Ri thoughtfully said, “Senior Brother, do you mean that the Grand Xia Dynasty has a plentiful society and might not just have these two grade-9 masters? Will new experts appear tomorrow?”

Moragu laughed and shook his head. “That might not be the case. The cultural accumulations of the Grand Xia Dynasty have been depleted over the past century of difficulties and hardships. Perhaps new grade-9 masters might not show up tomorrow. Even if they manage to barely send any, they are probably old and wounded troops that are no match for us today.”

Bo Ri asked, “Then, Senior Brother, what do you mean?”

Joy flashed in Moragu’s gaze as he slowly said, “We should test what the bottom line and the trump card of the Grand Xia Dynasty are! Thus, tomorrow, Junior Brother, not only do we have battles to fight, you have to kill a few more people. It is best if you can drive the Emperor to the end of his patience and force him to expose all his trump cards!

“This way, when we return to the north, we can report this to the Khan. Then, the barbarian army can infiltrate this fertile territory to our heart’s content!”

Bo Ri continued to scratch his head and racked his brains for a while.

In the end, he still could not understand the meaning behind this. Instead, he flashed a natural smile and said, “Senior Brother, I will just do whatever you tell me to do! I can’t do anything else, but I can kill people! Relax, I will definitely kill more Grand Xia Dynasty experts tomorrow!

“Even if they don’t have any more grade-9 masters, I won’t mind killing more grade-7 masters! For every master we kill, the barbarian army will have one fewer enemy to face in the future.”

Moragu laughed heartily.

Then, the two brothers confidently left the destroyed Xiangmanlou.

Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd looked at them with panic and fear in their eyes.

When they left, Moragu glanced at the restaurant that was across. His gaze fell directly on Feng Bao and Xie Feihong.

It was very obvious that…

He had realized that the identities of these two people were not ordinary. In the eyes of a martial arts practitioner, they could barely be considered as experts.

However, to him, they were two small and unimportant shrimps.

No matter how impressive their grade-8 cultivation bases were, they did not have the qualifications to stand even one attack from him!

…

…

In the blink of an eye, the next day had arrived.

It was the day when the barbarians would enter the imperial compound and visit the Grand Xia Emperor.

On this day.

The entire imperial compound had started preparations early as countless imperial maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth. They could not make any mistakes and had to show the highest standards of etiquette.

The Imperial Dining Room had also prepared many ingredients and strived to cook the best delicacies of every kind for the barbarian envoys and serve them well.

Yesterday, the Emperor had even invited people to the Imperial Dining Room specially to change the menu and add some valuable dishes.

It was said that this was to make the dignified manner and extraordinary nature of the Grand Xia Dynasty more conspicuous.

However, only a small portion of people knew that he had done so to curry favor with the barbarian envoys. They absolutely could not allow these envoys to be dissatisfied or find fault with them.

Originally, the barbarian envoys were supposed to fight in the morning.

However, it was almost ten in the morning when the barbarian envoys slowly entered the imperial compound, led by the two grade-9 masters, Bo Ri and Moragu.

It was as if they had taken a nap!

However, this laziness had caused the Emperor, as well as the civil and military officials of the Grand Xia Dynasty, to wait anxiously for almost two hours!

Thus, shortly after they met, it was time for lunch.

The Emperor laughed and said, “It’s already so late. I believe that you two must be hungry, right? The Imperial Dining Room has prepared exquisite dishes. Let’s go eat first and talk slowly after our meal.”

When the lethargic Bo Ri heard this, he immediately answered, “Okay! I’ve been so hungry! Even though the Grand Xia Dynasty experts are not particularly good, the dishes that you make are rather delicious.”

Moragu also nodded and said, “Then let’s go and eat.”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor was not angry either. On the contrary, he silently heaved a sigh of relief.

These two barbarian experts seemed much better-natured than he had expected. It did not seem as if they intended to find fault with him or launch an attack.

After eating, he would treat them slightly better and have them watch a performance or the like. Then, perhaps they would actually cancel today’s martial arts exchange!

That would be the best situation!

However, Emperor Xia Jianshen never thought that…

When they were eating lunch, regardless of whether it was Bo Ri or Moragu, they both seemed very good-natured. They simply cared about tucking into their meal and left the table in a mess.

However, once they finished eating and wiped their mouths…

Before Xia Jianshen had the opportunity to speak, the burly Bo Ri stood up and simply walked to the middle of the room. Then, he went straight to the point. “Now that we’ve eaten, we can start the martial arts exchange. Where are the experts from the Grand Xia Dynasty? Call them out to exchange blows with me! Please don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any other intentions.”

Bo Ri paused, and his gaze swept across the room. Then, he flashed a foolish smile and said, “I simply want to kill everyone here, or be killed by everyone here…”
