This was her first time summoning the spiritual energy of the space aside from dealing with Tianjizi, in order to intimidate the Great Khan before her. She had to bite the bullet and consolidate some of the space’s spiritual energy, ready to give him an eye-opener.
Tuoba Kui stepped back two paces, his face white as a sheet. That tremendous force just now wasn’t aimed at him, but he had clearly perceived its power. Even his desk, his seat mat, and his candlestick had been overturned, and this woman, she merely waved her hand slightly!
The remaining few guards looked at each other, then suddenly raised their knives and charged over with expressions of certain death, yelling, "Ahh!"
However, before their curved knives could fall, their faces changed simultaneously. They...they couldn’t move! A feeling of cold and numbness permeated their legs, their bodies weirdly stiffened, uncontrollable, and no matter how much they wanted to move, they simply couldn’t.
This feeling was even stranger than being pressed down by a ghost!
Cai Wei swept a glance over a few soldiers whose faces were as pale as dirt before she leisurely turned to look at Tuoba Kui, "I am from a world that those in your eyes who only regard power as the ultimate cannot see." She whispered with a smile, waved her hand, and these few people drifted up like paper tossed about by the northern wind, falling behind Tuoba Kui.
The expressions on Tuoba Kui’s face changed again and again, splendidly. Everything was so peculiar that he felt as if he were dreaming, and he simply couldn’t believe the reality before his eyes. What in the world was happening?"
Cai Wei bypassed the fallen guards, walked directly to Tuoba Kui, and looked him straight in the eye, "I want to talk to you about the surrender and peace proposal. I hope the Great Khan won’t refuse!"
She smiled charmingly, her tone caroling, and although her voice was soft and sweet, it exerted an indescribable pressure, no, a threat, in the ears of the Khan of the Mengs!
At this point, even if Tuoba Kui didn’t wish to talk, he didn’t have a choice. He bit the bullet and sat down, his face dark, and listened to her.
"The Great Khan has seen, if I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as flipping over my hand, but, as long as the Great Khan agrees to my conditions, you can continue to live, continue being your Great Khan."
Though Tuoba Kui was forced to negotiate with her, his bottom line couldn’t be crossed. Upon hearing Cai Wei’s words, he horizontally grinned and fearlessly laughed: "Woman, just use your evil sorcery to kill me. Our Mengs have only warriors who die in battle, not cowards who surrender!"
"Hehe, well said, ’only warriors who die in battle, not cowards who surrender!’
Cai Wei smiled coldly, her eyes full of mockery: "Having submitted to the Great Jin, you can still live on this land, still lead a peaceful life like you do now, nothing will change. Moreover, since you will be the children of the Great Jin, if any other tribe or ethnic group wants to bully you, they will have to ask the Great Jin if they agree to do so first. Whoever dares to bully you, the Great Jin will surely do everything to protect you. You will still be the Great Khan here, and your lineage will inherit your position, nothing will change except that you will need to pay a small tribute to the court every year. You rejected such a good thing, and instead, chose to lead your entire tribe to death."
"Nowadays, King Qin’s army is already under your city walls, and I believe it will take them very soon. You are willing to die for your national righteousness, but what about others? Do you think everyone is like you? Those elders, children, and women, they all want to survive, to live a peaceful life. Yet you, want to drag them along to die. As the leader of the Mengs, you have the responsibility of protecting your people, and allowing your ethnic group to survive for generations. But you, for the sake of holding your ground, are willing to let everyone in the tribe die with you, to let your ethnic group vanish from this world. Can a Great Khan like you be a worthy leader of a tribe?"
