She could live with the idea of sacrificing seven Spiritual Saints, but why would Emperor Wu do that?
"Because…" Emperor Wu smiled bitterly.
Because he recalled what Feng Wu told him once.
He finally knew that the Dayan Empire didn't want the seven Spiritual Overlords but the entire Junwu Empire.
He didn't want to live to see such a cruel thing happen.
"Take me." Emperor Wu smiled bitterly. "If you have to take someone."
Young General Yi looked at Emperor Wu in surprise. It had never occurred to him that the emperor of the Junwu Empire would sacrifice himself to save other people. That was unbelievable.
However…
"If that's the case, I can do it." Young Master Yi nodded at Emperor Wu.
"No!" The empress dowager rushed to Emperor Wu's side and spread out her arms, protecting him like a mother hen. "We can't sacrifice the emperor! Never!"
The others also knelt down and pleaded not to take Emperor Wu away.
