When Zhang Yuan followed Wan Chang'an and Ning Wuwei back to the Great Wall, news came from the front that the Abyss had withdrawn, and the whole city was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Zhang Yuan did not participate in the celebration. He and Wan Chang'an stepped into the teleportation array together and disappeared in the brilliant light.
Ning Wuwei looked at the empty teleportation array, sighed, turned around and left the teleportation room silently.
In the Great Wall, no one knew why the Abyss withdrew this time. They only knew that they had once again kept the peace of Daxia.
Ning Wuwei walked to the city wall, looked at the barren land outside the wall and the celebratory atmosphere inside the wall, and looked back at the territory of Daxia.
"Zhang Yuan, you will be fine."
……
Kyoto, at the top of the Central Trial Tower.
Zhang Yuan sat calmly in front of a door, waiting for the"judgment" that was about to fall on his head.
In the room behind the door, five old men with terrifying auras sat on chairs respectively. Wan Chang'an, who was wearing a military uniform, stood in front of the five old men and reported Zhang Yuan's situation.
The old man with the most terrifying aura, who was sitting in the middle of the five, said lightly:"Wan Chang'an, we already know the situation. The contract signed between Zhang Yuan and the Curse King is indeed of great importance. Our next decision will determine the future development direction of the Great Xia Empire and the fate of all people."
Clang! As soon as the old man finished speaking, a giant scale was suspended in the air, and five soul flames of equal weight flew out of it and fell in front of the five old men respectively.
"Left: Zhang Yuan is innocent. We will fully support Zhang Yuan's growth, allow the Curse King to revive, and make arrangements in advance. If Zhang Yuan fails to fight against the Curse King, we will use the whole country's strength to kill the Curse King."
"On the right, Zhang Yuan was found guilty and sentenced to death, strangling the Cursed King in the cradle and preventing the Great Xia Empire from falling into the cursed abyss again."
""Elders, start voting."
After the middle elder finished speaking, one of the elders pushed the soul flame in front of him to the right side of the scale without hesitation,"The Cursed King has brought heavy losses to the Great Xia Empire. Great Xia has not recovered yet. We cannot bear the coming of the Cursed King again."
"I second the motion."Another elder also pushed the soul flame in front of him to the right side of the scale,"Zhang Yuan is a genius, but we should put the safety of the people of Daxia first, and we cannot let hundreds of millions of people fall into danger because of one person."
Clang!
As the two soul flames flew to the right, the scale immediately tilted to the right.
Seeing this, Wan Changan clenched his fists.
If another elder voted to the right at this time, Zhang Yuan would definitely be sentenced to death, and no one could save him!
"Humph, you two cowards, you actually want to kill a top genius of our Great Xia just because of a dead demon bastard. You are so weak in the face of the abyss. Sooner or later, the Great Xia Empire will be conquered by the abyss!"
"What if the Cursed King returns? Then I will personally cut off his head!"
An old man with a hot temper slammed the table and pushed the soul flame in front of him to the left side of the scale.
The old man sitting in the middle also said at this time:"Wan Chang'an once said to me, today I will cede five cities, tomorrow I will cede ten cities, and then I can sleep peacefully for one night. I got up and looked around, and the abyss came again. To retreat to the abyss is like adding fuel to the fire. If the fuel is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished."
"There is more than one Curse King in the Abyss, but we only have one Zhang Yuan. His talent... is worth a gamble with our national destiny."
After saying that, the old man in the middle also sent the soul flame in front of him to the left side of the scale.
Bang!
The scale regained its balance, and finally everyone's eyes fell on the old man sitting in the corner, with white hair and a youthful face, who had been resting with his eyes closed.
Since the beginning of the meeting, the old man has not spoken... and now, the key vote that determines Zhang Yuan's fate has also fallen into his hands.
""Old Li, it's time to vote." The old man in the middle said.
The old man surnamed Li opened his eyes slightly and smiled,"Of course I support Zhang Yuan."
After that, the old man surnamed Li directly sent the soul flame in front of him to the left side of the scale.
Clang!
The scale completely tilted to the left.
Seeing this, Wan Changan's heart finally settled down.
"The result is out, Zhang Yuan is not guilty."
The old man in the middle pronounced the result calmly, and then said:"The next topic is how to train Zhang Yuan, and what we should do if Zhang Yuan fails."
"Pause for a moment."
At this time, an elder who advocated that Zhang Yuan was guilty interrupted the meeting and looked at the old man surnamed Li,"Old Li, I have no objection to the result of this vote, but can you tell me why you want to protect Zhang Yuan? Aren't you the one who hates the Curse King the most?"
The old man surnamed Li smiled and replied,"Of course I hate the Curse King. I wish I could peel off his skin myself, drink his blood, and then go into the abyss to kill all the demons of the Curse."
"Then why do you still vote left?"
"Because... I recently learned something." The old man surnamed Li laughed,"Zhang Yuan, he may become my grandson-in-law, how can I kill my grandson-in-law?"
The other four elders:"What do you mean?"
The old man surnamed Li felt the unfriendly eyes coming from the surroundings, and immediately laughed:"Haha, this is my Li family's family affair, it has nothing to do with today's meeting, let's get to the point quickly"
"How is it irrelevant? Lao Li, you have to make this matter clear today. We haven't even discussed who should train Zhang Yuan. Why is Zhang Yuan your grandson-in-law?"
"Lao Li, this is not fair of you. We should compete fairly. How could you take the initiative?"
"That's right! Your family has already produced several legendary professionals, and now you want to snatch Zhang Yuan? If you don't make things clear today, the meeting can't go on!"
Suddenly, several old men in the room began to quarrel over a strange issue, and the content of the meeting of elders unknowingly changed in a strange direction.
Wan Chang'an looked at the old men arguing over Zhang Yuan, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
No matter what can be discussed in the end of this meeting, Zhang Yuan is at least safe.
Zhang Yuan waited outside the door for several hours, and finally saw Wan Chang'an walking out of the room. He immediately stood up,"Chief, what's the result."
Wan Chang'an smiled and said,"The elders decided to take a gamble on you. Zhang Yuan...that cursed king, it will be left to you to solve from now on."
Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up,"Yes!"
"You don't have to feel too much pressure, just improve your strength step by step."
Wan Changan patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder,"Let's go, the elders still have a lot to discuss, I'll take you to Kyoto University to live, and give you a reward by the way."
Zhang Yuan was startled,"Reward?"
"You have made great contributions in defeating the Abyss Army this time, but due to some special reasons, we cannot publicly commend your contribution, so we plan to give you a substantial reward."
"Let's go."
