"It's naturally the Son of Heaven who is greater!"

w.a.n.g Chong smiled and answered as if he didn't know what was going on .

"Good! Since Your Highness knows this, why have you done that which disregards the sovereign? We were all invited by the Great Tang's Son of Heaven and are guests, but what has Your Highness done to these guests? Are you going to arrest us all? Is this how the Great Tang treats its guests? Or is it that the Son of Heaven's words have no effect on your Highness?

"Amongst the Eastern Turks, when a master has a guest, but a servant ignores the master's orders, knocking over the guest's cups, plates, and utensils, they are completely ignoring the master . The Eastern Turks execute servants like these . Your Highness, are you this kind of servant? Or are you like that other kind of servant, having no regard for the sovereign and striking against your superiors!?" Pusan Tuoye said harshly .

The foreign Princes and Princesses behind him brightened at these words as they inwardly shouted out in glee .

There were naturally reasons Pusan Tuoye had so quickly become the leader of the foreign royals in the capital . In terms of bearing and intelligence, none of them could compare to him .

If not for so many Public Order Squad cavalry watching them, they would have cheered out loud .

But just when Pusan Tuoye was feeling smug and satisfied, w.a.n.g Chong smiled and gave his reply .

"As expected, nothing but barbaric countries!"

w.a.n.g Chong's response immediately made the face of the foreign royals freeze .

"The Great Tang is a country of 'courtesy', and when a host treats a guest with courtesy, the guest must reciprocate . When a guest comes, the host treats them to fine wine and delicacies, then, once the guest eats and drinks their fill, the guest will thank the host for their generous hospitality and then leave in a refined and unhurried manner . Perhaps it is because Your Highness is inexperienced or this is the custom of the Eastern Turks, but when guests in the land of the Eastern Turks go to a host's house, they don't thank the host for their hospitality but instead cause a scene and block up the entrance to the host's house?"

w.a.n.g Chong raised his head and glanced at the magnificent Imperial Palace .

Pusan Tuoye and the other foreign royals instantly understood, and their faces and ears went red . w.a.n.g Chong was clearly jeering at their complete lack of grat.i.tude in blocking up the palace gates .

This was the capital of the Great Tang, the heart of the empire, and the Imperial Palace was where the Emperor discussed matters of state with his officials, an extremely critical location . For more than forty thousand Hu to gather here and block the gates so tightly that not even a drop of water could get in was truly rather excessive .

Although the Hu had also found it rather out of line, they believed in the protection of the crowds, that the Great Tang could not arrest all of them . Adding on the fact that they had the Confucian Sect's support, they had believed that there would be no problems . But who would have expected a development like this?

Not only that, they had even provoked the great demon, the King of Foreign Lands .

"Seize them!"

w.a.n.g Chong ended his conversation with Pusan Tuoye and waved his hand . Su s.h.i.+xuan immediately dismounted and led a group of Public Order Squad members over to tie up Pusan Tuoye's group .

"Release me! Release me now! I'm a prince of the Eastern Turks! King of Foreign Lands, you even dare to arrest me?! This will cause a major incident!"

Pusan Tuoye finally panicked and began to struggle .

"Hmph, let's wait until that happens first!"

w.a.n.g Chong coldly sneered .

After going through so many wars, why would he be afraid of the 'major incident' Pusan Tuoye spoke of?

This Eastern Turkic Prince had no idea who he was talking to .

"Milord, what do we do?"

Seeing w.a.n.g Chong sending men to arrest Pusan Tuoye after only exchanging a few words, the foreign spy captains turned pale and broke out in cold sweat .

"If the royals are imprisoned, we'll all be punished for failing in our duties . If there's any mishap, we might even be executed!"

They were filled with regret . If they had known that the King of Foreign Lands was so iron-fisted and vicious, they would have never listened to Mochi Xiangyang and invited the royals over .

Mochi Xiangyang was more shocked than anyone else . He had only wanted to exert pressure on the Great Tang imperial household through protests, but the moment the Public Order Squads had intervened, he had completely lost control of the situation . Although he had heard of w.a.n.g Chong's many deeds, only when actually exchanging blows with him did Mochi Xiangyang realize that he had deeply underestimated the eighteen-year-old Great Tang War G.o.d .

There were no rules to his behavior, and Mochi Xiangyang's conjectures and plans that would have worked on normal people were completely useless against him . w.a.n.g Chong was fearless and unbridled, not restrained by any apprehensions .

No wonder the Great Minister told me to be cautious when I was leaving and to not provoke the King of Foreign Lands . I miscalculated!

Mochi Xiangyang felt a bitterness in his heart .

Any sort of argument felt weak and useless in the face of w.a.n.g Chong's forceful seizures . Mochi Xiangyang's face was pale and he began to wonder if he should retreat .

"What do we do? Young Master still hasn't appeared, and if this continues, Pusan Tuoye, the other foreign royals, and all the other Hu gathered around the gate will be arrested . Young Master might come too late . "

Bamboo Mirror and the other Confucian Sect experts could only watch the Public Order Squad's ma.s.s arrests and worry .

Their young master had disbanded the prefectural armies and suppressed the militarists, upon which the King of Foreign Lands had set up his Public Order Squads and arrested the foreign royals and more than ten thousand Hu . Such a major incident would deal a ma.s.sive blow to the Harmonious World that the Confucian Sect longed for .

"There's nothing to be done . We can't deal with him . We have to wait until Young Master comes out . "

Elder Song had a nasty scowl . He naturally understood the effects of this incident, but no matter how unbearable the situation was, they had to bear it .

"Everyone, listen to me . No matter what, you have to bear it! Don't let your emotions make your decisions!"

Elder Song's greatest concern was that everyone would be provoked into a conflict with w.a.n.g Chong by this sight . That would be the true disaster . But just after Elder Song spoke, his worst fears were realized .

"No, I can't bear it! No matter what, we can't let him take away Pusan Tuoye and the others!"

Sword Ghost clenched his teeth and charged forward .

Elder Song paled and instantly called out, "Sword Ghost, come back!" But Sword Ghost was too impulsive and had already shot into the crowd like a lightning bolt .

"w.a.n.g Chong, stop right there!"

A furious roar resounded over the Imperial Palace gates and Sword Ghost fearlessly charged at w.a.n.g Chong .

"Stop him!"

Xu Keyi and the others were in the middle of arresting Hu, and when they saw Sword Ghost charging over, they immediately moved to intercept .  Bang! Bang! Bang! Before the Public Order Squad members could even get close, a shockwave of energy sent them flying away together with their horses .

"Impudent!"

Su s.h.i.+xuan's face darkened, and he immediately pulled out his Wootz Steel sword and went to stop Sword Ghost . However, w.a.n.g Chong soon stopped him .

"Let him come over," w.a.n.g Chong said in an unconcerned tone .

Those Public Order Squad members immediately began to withdraw, but Sword Ghost didn't care and charged straight to w.a.n.g Chong .

"w.a.n.g Chong, just what are you thinking? Are you intentionally breaking the peace the Great Tang has with the other countries to take revenge against our Confucian Sect?"

Sword Ghost stopped six feet away from w.a.n.g Chong, and his eyes were so burning with rage that it seemed like he wanted to swallow w.a.n.g Chong in one gulp .

Sword Ghost had long ago grown sick of seeing w.a.n.g Chong . He had developed a poor opinion of him at their first meeting in Drunken Moon Pavilion and had proposed several times that they needed to be more vicious against this major obstacle for the plans of the Confucian Sect and end his fleshly existence . Alas, his young master and Elder Song had refused to listen, resulting in this disastrous consequence .

It seemed like even the peace talks with the various foreigners would be destroyed at the hands of the King of Foreign Lands .

You finally couldn't restrain yourself?

w.a.n.g Chong instantly recognized Sword Ghost . This man and his sword dance in Drunken Moon Pavilion had left a very deep impression on w.a.n.g Chong .

If he's here, the other Confucian Sect members can't be far .

w.a.n.g Chong subtly shot a glance into the distance, a light gleaming in his eyes .

It would be far stranger if the Confucian Sect was completely unaware of such a major uproar .

"Hmph, where did this small character come from? In front of this king, you still dare to act so impudently?" w.a.n.g Chong coldly asked .

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

Sword Ghost's eyes went red in anger .  Boom! In a flash of light, he unsheathed his sword and instantly vanished into the void .

"Shao Music Dance!"

An ancient voice accompanied by the sounding of bells began to resound through the air . The Public Order Squad cavalry around w.a.n.g Chong, including Su s.h.i.+xuan, were instantly dazzled by this sound . It was like their souls had been pulled into another world, and looks of intoxication appeared in their eyes .

Shao Music was the music created by Emperor Shun, the music of the sages . But the Shao Music Dance was one of the ten great a.s.sa.s.sination techniques of the Spring and Autumn Era . A top-cla.s.s martial artist of that era who had worked as an a.s.sa.s.sin comprehended this technique from Shao Music1 after joining the Confucian Sect .

Each time the sword struck in the Shao Music Dance, it was like a musical note being played, and each musical note was a sword technique . This sword art attacked both the flesh and the soul . Even those experts of formidable will who had reached the Saint Martial realm would still be affected by the Shao Music .

Because Shao Music was the music that embodied the hearts of the people!
