If I Don’t Die, I’ll Truly Be Invincible

Chapter 10 - Who in This World Can Escape Death?

Chapter 10: Who in This World Can Escape Death?

Ji Mingyue had no idea that Ye Ning would have such bizarre thoughts. Seeing Ye Ning’s face filled with disbelief and a complex expression, he automatically interpreted it as being moved.

“Ye Ning, a righteous man like you, is comparable to the sages of old. For you, even if it means revealing the Emperor’s Artifact, it’s worth it!”

Ji Mingyue didn’t say these words out loud, but the meaning was clearly conveyed in his eyes.

In his opinion, this moment was to be recorded in history, to be passed down through the ages. Many years later, people would remember that there was such a pair of emperor and minister, trusting and protecting each other.

Ye Ning felt his intention.

Because he felt it, he felt more inclined to curse!

Are you, the incompetent ruler, crazy?

I helped you, yet you actually want to save my life!

Is there such a malicious person in this world?

Indeed, in Ye Ning’s eyes, anyone who killed him was a good brother, and anyone who wanted to save him was an enemy.

“Well, I didn’t expect Your Majesty to have the Emperor’s Artifact hidden on hand. This is beyond the expectations of our Immortal Sect!”

He Yuan was burning with anger.

Ye Ning’s audacity exceeded his imagination.

Ji Mingyue’s persistence was even more unbelievable to him.

He suddenly realized that perhaps this ruler, who was viewed as incompetent by the people of the world, might not be so unbearable after all!

At least from the aspect of hiding the Emperor’s Artifact, it could be seen that he was not as submissive as he appeared.

“Please, spare him!”

Ji Mingyue’s expression was firm as he tightly held the oil lamp in his hand.

What Ye Ning displayed today was the spirit of the ancient sages.

These were the characters recorded in the books of sages!

How could he witness such a character die before his eyes?

For this reason, even if it meant exposing the Emperor’s Artifact, arousing the vigilance of the Immortal Sect, it was worth it!

“This child has slandered the Immortal Sect and must be punished with death, with no room for negotiation!” He Yuan’s brow furrowed as he spoke coldly.

“But since Your Majesty has spoken, I must give some face. How about this. If Your Majesty agrees to the enfeoffment, and then let this child kneel facing the direction of the Feather Transformation Sect for seven days, I can spare his life!

“However, if not, even if Your Majesty protects him in the palace, he will eventually leave. At that time, I cannot guarantee his safety.”

He Yuan was not stupid.

Regicide was something he dared not do.

Although the Great Zhou was declining, it was still orthodox, with the mandate of heaven and national luck.

To dare to commit regicide would surely incur divine punishment.

Not to mention him, even the Feather Transformation Sect behind him would be finished.

The only way to deal with the Great Zhou was to gradually weaken its strength, bit by bit, until the Emperor lost the support of the military and the people, and the national luck naturally collapsed.

By then, they could do whatever they wanted.

So when Ji Mingyue staked his life to protect Ye Ning, even He Yuan felt the situation was tricky.

But he wasn’t bothered by this. Instead, he cleverly thought of a way to break the deadlock.

You are willing to pay such a high price for Ye Ning, indicating that you care deeply about his life and death, right?

If so, then Ye Ning becomes your weakness!

Using Ye Ning’s life to threaten Ji Mingyue might have unexpected effects.

This move, let’s call it “changing roles”!

Sure enough, Ji Mingyue was suddenly stunned, his face showing panic as he looked at Ye Ning blankly.

He never expected He Yuan to be so shameless, actually using Ye Ning’s life to threaten him.

Through the gap in the crown, Ye Ning saw a pretty face resembling that of a white fox.

This emperor, with his fair complexion and watery eyes filled with confusion, appeared quite pitiful.

Looking at him, there was a feeling of heartache.

“Hiss, this ruler’s appearance…” Ye Ning shuddered.

Is this a joke? I was actually shocked by the appearance of a grown man.

Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with him?

Is this ruler effeminate, or is he the rumored “male with a female appearance”?

Ye Ning shook his head.

Something’s not right!

This ruler is not right.

I’m not right either!

Whether he’s effeminate or not, what does it matter to me? My goal is to seek death!

What happened to killing me?

How come you’re talking about terms now?

Ye Ning was angry. He felt disrespected.

Have you ever asked for my opinion before not killing me?

Why should you kill me sometimes and not kill me other times? Aren’t you just playing with me?

I won’t allow it!

With a turn of his mind, he didn’t give the two of them a chance to negotiate. He laughed heartily, looking up at the sky with a mood of recklessness that disregarded life and death.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry about it. There’s nothing to discuss about this matter. Once I’m enfeoffed, and the foundation of the country is shaken, how can my life compare to the foundation of the country? If Your Majesty really agrees to this villain’s request, I will die with unfulfilled wishes!”

At these words, Ji Mingyue burst into tears.

“But by doing so, you will die.”

Ye Ning smiled faintly.

From his eyes, there was no trace of fear, only an excited light.

He was determined to die.

But in the eyes of others, this was the light of the sage, the light of the idealist!

“Confucius said ‘Achieve benevolence’, Mencius said ‘Take righteousness’. The Great Zhou has been passed down for ten thousand years. If it is really going to perish, how can there be no loyal subjects willing to die for the country?”

Ye Ning walked step by step toward the throne.

He raised his neck, as if offering it to be beheaded.

“Someone must bleed. Let my blood be the first to flow!”

What determination!

What spirit!

All those who still had a conscience immediately became teary-eyed.

The light of humanity was awakened at this moment. Many people forgot their fear and stepped forward nervously, saying, “Lord Ye, don’t!”

Ye Ning cursed inwardly.

Why do people always want to stop me?

With a warm smile on his face, he waved his hand, motioning for everyone to step back.

At this moment, he had already reached the jade steps.

“Master, please make your move!” he said calmly.

“Don’t do it. I forbid you to die! You’re still so young!” Ji Mingyue cried out in despair.

“Since ancient times, who in this world can escape death? Leave behind a dauntless heart to illuminate history!” Ye Ning said calmly.
