Chapter 216: Chapter 156, 3rd Life: What, do you also want to die?
Great Spirit Imperial Palace.
The entire Imperial Court officials, civil and military alike, bowed their heads in silence, not a single one daring to speak up.
Only the Spirit Emperor’s furious roar echoed throughout the hall.
"Rebellion, rebellion!"
"What exactly does this rebellious Seventh Generation Human Emperor want? In broad daylight, he dares to skin the Royal Family and exhibit them!"
"Does he have any regard for the law? Does he still see me as his emperor?"
"If this continues, will this Great Spirit still be my world?"
A man of extraordinary bearing, clad in a Five-Clawed Dragon Robe, was furiously raging.
Just yesterday.
Urgent messages for help from all directions came flooding in like snowflakes, nearly filling the entire Imperial Study.
The contents of the letters were shocking, scaring him into sleeplessness for the night!
In the Thirty-Six States, hundreds of counties, tens of thousands of court officials, tens of thousands of Royal Family members, and countless Noble Race clans and families.
All were wiped out in just one day, without leaving a single survivor!
And the mastermind of all these was the Seventh Generation Human Emperor!
Now he’s daring enough to kill the Royal Family, so wouldn’t he dare to kill me in a few days?
Thinking of this, the Spirit Emperor’s rage grew even fiercer, and for a rare moment, he felt a fear that pierced his bones!
He still had three thousand beauties in the harem he hadn’t enjoyed, and endless luxury and glory.
He absolutely could not let a common rebel ruin all of this.
Thus, he stayed up the whole night and urgently convened the early morning court session, attempting to solve this matter with the full power of the civil and military officials.
After venting, the Spirit Emperor’s anger somewhat subsided.
Immediately, an official suddenly knelt to the ground with a thud, expressing his grievances tearfully.
"Your Majesty! That Seventh Generation Human Emperor is insane, slaughtering two hundred of my family members without hesitation."
"By the grace of Heaven, I was serving in the court, and by sheer luck, avoided disaster!"
"Your Majesty, please stand up for me!"
The over-eighty Youzhou Prefecture Lord wept bitterly, his heartache bleeding.
In fact, there was something he didn’t say in his heart.
His family and friends were dead, and that was that.
But the mountains of gold and silver in the treasure vault, wealth he had accumulated through a lifetime of toiling,
the Seventh Generation Human Emperor, that heartless killer, gave away all his white silver to a bunch of peasants, wasn’t that a sin?
"My son has always cherished the people like his own children, this time he went to Xuzhou to relieve disaster, but unexpectedly fell victim to wicked hands, he was my only heir!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a white-haired man sending off his black-haired son, almost sobbed to death on the spot.
However, he remained silent about his son colluding with local noble officials, embezzling court disaster relief funds, leading to millions of disaster victims dying in the wilderness.
Among the officials who were tragically doomed,
Those who were not implicated adopted an attitude of detached indifference.
Each with eyes downcast, noses tucked, heads bowed even lower.
The most important trait for a court official was to know the timing and context. f.(r)eew ebnov\
Those who could stand here were all well-informed and cunning individuals.
The Seventh Generation Human Emperor, decisive in killings and actions, was already trending towards replacing Great Spirit.
However, the Great Spirit Dynasty, having experienced ups and downs, still stood firmly with an undisputable foundation.
At this critical moment.
Even with extensive court experience, one dared not easily take a stance.
Otherwise, standing on the wrong side meant an irreversible catastrophe.
Therefore.
The best current strategy was not to offend either side, nor to get involved with either.
"Your Majesty, this is a calamity shaking the foundations of the nation."
"In my humble opinion, I suggest calling on the National Guardian Martial Saint to emerge and slay this beast!"
A few senior officials boldly suggested, filled with indignation.
Upon hearing these four words,
The pupils of the attending officials constricted, all drawing a cold breath.
Though they hadn’t witnessed the National Guardian Martial Saint personally, they were well-versed in his legendary feats. NovelBin)
It was said he was a follower of the founding ancestors, surviving from tens of thousands of years ago to the present.
Nobody knew how powerful he actually was, but it was known that the Great Spirit Dynasty’s continued existence was largely thanks to him!
Moreover, whenever the Great Spirit Dynasty faced tumultuous times, this National Guardian Martial Saint would personally come out and eradicate all dangers and threats!
It was precisely because of the National Guardian Martial Saint’s presence that successive Spirit Emperors could rest easy, indulging in decadent pleasures.
"National Guardian Martial Saint?"
The Spirit Emperor was quite moved upon hearing this suggestion.
Yet the former emperor had sternly warned him that this National Guardian Martial Saint was both righteous and demon-like, and unless it was a matter of life and death, he should never disturb his seclusion hastily.
Otherwise, if he displeased the other party, great terror would follow!
Just as the Spirit Emperor hesitated.
"Bang!"
The grand gates of the Imperial Palace suddenly shattered into countless pieces.
A young figure burst through the doors and strode directly into the hall.
"Insolence! Who dares intrude upon the sacred grounds of the palace..."
The many ministers turned to look, sternly reprimanding.
Only when they saw the figure, their expressions changed drastically, as if seeing a ghost, their words stuck in their throats, unable to be spoken for half an afternoon.
For the figure’s gaze was deep, his aura stern, moving with the majesty of a dragon and tiger, as if bringing a storm of blood with his presence.
It was none other than the Seventh Generation Human Emperor who had set off a cataclysmic massacre!
"Who is it?"
"Oh no! His Majesty is in danger, where is the Imperial Army? Quickly enter the hall to save the emperor!"
The moment Lu Yuan appeared,
hundreds of powerful auras rose from all directions of the palace, rushing towards this place immediately.
