Chapter 336: What Is Your Crime?

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: What Is Your Crime?

The newcomer was none other than the Chancellor of Malaysia, Kong Wei.

Kong Wei looked at Luo Jiang and ordered directly, "Open the pass and welcome the alliance army inside!"

At this, all the defending soldiers were stunned.

Luo Jiang looked at Kong Wei, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Chancellor, what did you say?"

Kong Wei looked at Luo Jiang and said calmly, "The alliance army has come in force this time for no other reason than to forge a marriage alliance with the Queen.

But the Queen refuses. For her own selfish gain, she’s willing to sacrifice every soldier in Malaysia. What’s the point of protecting someone so cruel?

The civil and military officials of the court have already reached a consensus with me: we will welcome the alliance army into the pass and hand over the Queen.

This way, Malaysia will merely have a new ruler, while our soldiers and all the people of Malaysia can remain unharmed. Therefore, surrender is the wisest choice!"

Luo Jiang looked at Kong Wei, his expression turning serious. "Chancellor, as subjects of Her Majesty the Queen, we should share her burdens and defend her to the death. I believe we should unite to fight the alliance army. Surrender is utterly shameful!"

Kong Wei looked at Luo Jiang and suddenly chuckled. The next moment, with a flick of his wrist, a dagger appeared in his hand. He lunged forward and plunged it straight into Luo Jiang’s heart.

"You... you..." Luo Jiang stared at Kong Wei, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

Kong Wei looked at Luo Jiang and said with a sinister smile, "If you don’t obey, then you die!"

With that, he kicked Luo Jiang in the abdomen. Luo Jiang was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out mouthfuls of blood!

Kong Wei looked at the pass’s defenders and said in a cold voice, "Who else wants to resist? Step forward! Who else wants to oppose me, Kong Wei? Step forward, and I’ll exterminate their entire clan!"

The hundreds of thousands behind him roared in unison, "Exterminate their clans!"

Not another one of the pass’s defenders made a sound.

They could disregard their own lives, but they couldn’t disregard the lives of their families.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Kong Wei nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Open the city gates immediately and welcome the alliance army into the pass."

Someone complied and started walking toward the city gates.

But just then, a black shadow flashed, appearing instantly before Kong Wei and delivering a resounding slap to his face.

With a loud CRACK, Kong Wei was slapped to the ground, and half of his face swelled up instantly.

Then, a cold voice rang out, "As a subject, instead of thinking about your duty and serving the Queen, you seek to betray her for your own gain. A creature like you is worse than a pig or a dog!"

The newcomer was none other than Ouyang Qiu.

Kong Wei got up from the ground, looked at Ouyang Qiu, and said with a sinister smile, "I recognize you. You’re one of that bastard Ye Feng’s lackeys.

Ye Feng made me lose everything. He’s my enemy, which makes you one too. I was just about to deal with all of you, but I never expected you to run over here and offer yourself up to die. Excellent. In that case, I’ll grant you your wish today!"

With that, he looked at an old man in a green robe beside him and ordered coldly, "Duan Guardian, go and take her head for me!"

The green-robed old man nodded, his body flashed, and in an instant, he was in front of Ouyang Qiu. He raised his right palm and brought it down fiercely toward her heart.

Ouyang Qiu wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

With a deafening BOOM, the green-robed old man’s right palm struck Ouyang Qiu squarely in the chest.

Ouyang Qiu let out a muffled groan and was knocked to the ground, endlessly coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

Kong Wei looked at Ouyang Qiu and sneered, "Do you know what my great guardian’s cultivation level is? I’ll tell you: he’s a Tier Eight Martial God. An ant like you, a mere Tier Four Martial God, wants to act presumptuously before him? You’re not worthy!"

With that, he roared at the green-robed old man, "Do it! Twist her head off for me!"

The green-robed old man nodded, walked over to Ouyang Qiu, and reached for her head.

Ouyang Qiu wanted to struggle, but the next moment, she coughed up another large mouthful of blood. Grievously injured, she was completely powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the old man’s hand reached for her head.

Ouyang Qiu closed her eyes weakly and murmured, "Xiaofeng, it was not meant to be in this life. Let’s meet again in the next!"

But just then, a deafening BANG erupted in front of Ouyang Qiu, followed immediately by a blood-curdling scream.

Then, a cold voice rang out, "If you want to touch Miss Ouyang, you’ll have to get through me first!"

Ouyang Qiu opened her eyes in confusion and saw a tall figure standing before her:

Wei Qinglong.

"Thank you!" Ouyang Qiu said, looking at Wei Qinglong.

Wei Qinglong quickly helped Ouyang Qiu up, his face full of guilt. "Miss Ouyang, I have failed the Marshal. I didn’t protect you properly. Please go and rest. Let me deal with them!"

Just then, Yang Hai arrived and arranged for someone to help Ouyang Qiu away.

Wei Qinglong turned to Kong Wei, his face ashen, and said, "You old bastard! To collude with the enemy and betray your country... you deserve to die!"

Kong Wei looked at Wei Qinglong and said with a sinister smile, "A little punk like you dares to act so insolently before me? Believe it or not, I’ll destroy you!"

Wei Qinglong said coldly, "You’ll find out soon enough who destroys whom. Stay right where you are, old man!"

With that, he shot toward Kong Wei like a lightning bolt. A few men behind Kong Wei moved to intercept him but were knocked aside by a single palm strike from Wei Qinglong. In an instant, Wei Qinglong was before Kong Wei, raising his palm and bringing it down fiercely on his head.

But in the next instant, a figure flashed and blocked Kong Wei, swinging a right fist that smashed directly into Wei Qinglong’s palm.

With a loud BANG, Wei Qinglong let out a muffled groan and staggered back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His right arm was trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Qinglong looked up and saw an old Daoist priest blocking Kong Wei. The priest looked at him and said indifferently, "An ant at Tier One of the Martial Immortal realm wants to act presumptuously here? You are not qualified!"

Seeing the old priest, Kong Wei quickly bowed. "Kong Wei pays his respects to Liao Guardian!"

Then he turned to Wei Qinglong and chuckled. "Let me introduce you. This is one of the four great guardians serving His Highness the Prince of Yue Country, Guardian Liao Yong. His cultivation has already reached Tier Two Martial Immortal. You’re nothing before him!"

He turned his head to Liao Yong and said coldly, "Liao Guardian, do it. Kill him!"

Liao Yong nodded and advanced on Wei Qinglong.

But just then, an angry shout came from behind, "Stop this at once!"

As the voice faded, a group of people on horseback came rushing over. At their head was a peerlessly beautiful woman dressed in yellow robes.

The moment the woman appeared, the imposing aura of a superior instantly filled the air.

It was the Queen of Malaysia, Xia Xingyu.

Seeing Xia Xingyu, Yang Hai and the others quickly came forward and bowed. "We greet Your Majesty, the Queen!"

Xia Xingyu nodded slightly, then looked up at Kong Wei opposite her and said in a cold voice:

"Kong Wei, as a high minister of Malaysia, you have colluded with a foreign power. What crime should you be charged with?"
