Chapter 768 Attitudes of All Parties

The events in Black Moon City quickly spread throughout the Purple Sun World. There were simply too many witnesses to Lu Chen easily killing the Demon Envoy despite being above his level, so it was impossible to keep it a secret.

In addition, many forces had already heard that Lu Chen possessed the Exorcism Sword Technique, so they sent many spies to Black Moon City to investigate the situation. Those spies witnessed what happened, and before the next day, they had already relayed the news back to their respective forces.

The Great Chu Dynasty.

in the hall.

The Chu Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face pale and devoid of any color.

At this moment, the ministers in the hall dared not speak. They had always thought that the Chu Emperor was a useless emperor who could not even maintain the territorial integrity of the Great Chu Dynasty.

After the events in Black Moon City were exposed, the ministers realized that they had underestimated the Emperor of Chu. The Emperor's advisor was actually a demon envoy at the Myriad Laws Realm, and even the head of Blood Rainbow Workshop was no match for him.

If it weren't for Lu Chen, who was even more extraordinary, the Chu Emperor would probably have been able to eliminate all those who opposed him much sooner.

Unfortunately, this happened suddenly. This was a great thing for the ministers of the Great Chu Dynasty, but they did not cheer because they realized that the Chu Emperor was hiding his true abilities.

If a demon envoy is always by the side of the Chu Emperor, then who could the Chu Emperor be?

Could the Chu Emperor have also become a demonic cultivator? Or even a demonic envoy?

Without any external forces attacking the Chu Emperor, the ministers and separatist forces of the Great Chu Dynasty suddenly became obedient.

The Emperor of Chu glanced at the ministers in the court, then gritted his teeth and said, "Deputy City Lord Lu has vanquished a demon for Great Chu, preventing widespread bloodshed. What do you suggest I do to reward him?"

The Chu Emperor's tone was clearly filled with resentment. Although he had always wanted to break free from the control of that old devil Xiao Chenghua, he did not expect that Xiao Chenghua would be eliminated so quickly. The key point was that his identity as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Chu Dynasty was also exposed.

Now, all the major powers in the Ziyang World probably already know that Xiao Chenghua, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Chu, is a demon envoy. Perhaps next, some forces will use the pretext of exterminating demon cultivators to attack the Great Chu Dynasty.

At this moment, the Chu Emperor wished he could personally kill Lu Chen. Of course, he also knew his own limitations. Even Xiao Chenghua, that old devil, was not Lu Chen's true identity. In front of Lu Chen, he would most likely only be killed.

He now strongly suspects that Lu Chen also came from the Zixiao Dynasty. Although the Zixiao Dynasty is in turmoil, it has always been quite concerned about the situation in the Sealed Demon Forbidden Land. Perhaps the unusual activity in the Sealed Demon Forbidden Land has attracted the attention of the Zixiao Dynasty, so it specially sent Lu Chen here.

After the Emperor finished speaking, the ministers in the hall remained silent. The entire hall was incredibly heavy. They could hear the resentment and hatred towards Lu Chen in the Emperor's tone, so none of them dared to step forward and provoke him.

The hall was incredibly quiet and oppressive; you could hear even your own breathing. Beads of sweat streamed down the ministers' foreheads and necks.

After an unknown amount of time, a minister finally stepped forward and said tremblingly, "This old minister believes that Deputy City Lord Lu is powerful and has made such great contributions, eliminating a major threat to the Great Chu Dynasty and making a huge contribution to the entire Ziyang World. He should be granted the title of King."

Upon hearing the words "bestowing a title of king," all the ministers' eyes turned to this minister, and people couldn't help but think, "This old fellow really dares to speak his mind."

King?

Didn't you see that the Emperor of Chu was furious? His tone clearly showed that he wished he could kill Lu Chen. How dare you say that Lu Chen should be made a king?

Just when almost all the ministers thought that the minister who proposed the title of king was going to be in trouble, the Chu Emperor spoke up and said, "Minister Zheng is right. Deputy City Lord Lu has made such great contributions, he is indeed qualified to be a king."

At this point, the Emperor of Chu said to the eunuchs below the Dragon Platform, "Draft an edict: Lu Chen is extremely powerful..."

When the Chu emperor actually granted Lu Chen the title of king, the ministers were stunned.

However, people quickly realized that the Chu Emperor did not really want to reward Lu Chen, but had no choice but to do so. Rewarding Lu Chen was merely a show for other dynasties and other forces.

Now that the Grand Preceptor of the Great Chu Dynasty is a demon envoy, the people of the world will surely suspect that the Chu Emperor also has some kind of relationship with demonic cultivators.

Since Lu Chen is a hero who eliminated the demon envoy, the Great Chu Dynasty must reward him. If there is no reward, wouldn't that confirm the relationship between the Great Chu Dynasty royal family and the demon cultivators?

Rewarding Lu Chen was merely a gesture to other dynasties and powers.

at the same time.

Zixiao Dynasty, Council Hall.

Dressed in a bright red phoenix robe and wearing a phoenix crown, Nangong Yuehua sat on a huge phoenix chair and glanced at the silent ministers in the hall.

After a moment, Nangong Yuehua spoke, "I believe that all of you ministers have heard about what happened in Black Moon City."

"Regarding what happened in Black Moon City, what do you, my esteemed ministers, believe the Purple Cloud Dynasty should do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister stepped forward and said, "Since the Grand Preceptor of the Great Chu Dynasty is a demonic envoy, then the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty must also have some intricate relationship with demonic cultivators. I believe we should immediately send troops to attack the Great Chu Dynasty, wipe out those demonic cultivators, and prevent them from bringing greater chaos to the world."

"I agree with General Qin's words. Before the demonic cultivators cause even greater trouble for this world, we should send troops as soon as possible. Moreover, the Great Chu Dynasty and the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land are right next to each other. If we do nothing, the Great Chu Dynasty will collude with the Heavenly Demons and will eventually release the Heavenly Demons. By then, it will be too late for us to send troops to destroy the demonic cultivators."

Subsequently, many ministers also stepped forward and expressed their desire to send troops to attack the Great Chu Dynasty, but Nangong Yuehua did not immediately say anything.

Her red eyes swept over the ministers in the hall, as if she were pondering something.

When she received the message from Blackmoon City, like most people, her first reaction was shock.

She knew that Lu Chen possessed the ability to suppress demonic energy, but she never expected that Lu Chen would be able to kill a demon envoy of the Myriad Laws Realm who possessed the power of a Heavenly Demon with his own strength.

She remembered that when she last went to Black Moon City, Lu Chen was only at the early stage of the Creation Realm. How could he have broken through to the Yin-Yang Realm in such a short time?

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Realm cultivator was able to kill a Demon Envoy of the Myriad Laws Realm, which is far beyond what is expected of him.

Is this person really just due to a special physical condition?

According to eyewitnesses, even the head of the Blood Rainbow Workshop, along with her sister, was no match for Xiao Chenghua, yet Lu Chen was able to crush Xiao Chenghua as soon as he appeared.

Lu Chen's control over demonic energy has reached such a terrifying level?

If Lu Chen were to deal with the Heavenly Demon, would the effect be just as obvious?

At this moment, the discussion in the main hall was still about sending troops to the Great Chu Dynasty. After regaining her senses, Nangong Yuehua spoke up, "This Lu Chen destroyed a demon envoy at the Myriad Laws Realm. Although he was not from the Zixiao Dynasty, he has indirectly contributed to the Zixiao Dynasty. What do you, my esteemed ministers, think I should reward him?"

Upon hearing Nangong Yuehua's words, the ministers looked at each other, still undecided about sending troops. Suddenly, the Empress proposed to reward a rogue cultivator who was not from the Zixiao Dynasty.

What's there to reward? Although this rogue cultivator did make contributions to the Ziyang World, it was also for his own sake. Besides, Black Moon City isn't even part of the Zixiao Dynasty's territory.

At this moment, a minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that this Lu Chen possesses the Demon Exorcism Sword Technique. He was able to kill a demon envoy at the Myriad Laws Realm with his Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, which must have been achieved with this sword technique."

"The seal on the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land has loosened, and the Heavenly Demon could break through at any time. Lu Chen's Demon-Exorcising Sword Technique is very important to us. If we want to seal the Heavenly Demon again, we must have this sword technique. I think we should send someone to invite Lu Chen to the Zixiao Dynasty and force him to hand over this sword technique."

Nangong Yuehua coldly glanced at the minister who had demanded that Lu Chen hand over the Exorcism Sword Technique, then said in a chilling voice, "I was asking you all to discuss how to reward him, but you want me to forcibly bring him to the Zixiao Dynasty and force him to hand over the Exorcism Sword Technique. You want me to force a hero who just slew a demon envoy? What will the world think of me in the future? You are trying to put me in an unjust position!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yuehua unleashed her overwhelming power, and the minister instantly knelt on the ground, crying, "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me! I have only ever thought of the Zixiao Dynasty!"

Nangong Yuehua snorted coldly, and was about to continue speaking when suddenly, a maid appeared on the Phoenix Terrace, defying Nangong Yuehua's imposing aura, and whispered something in Nangong Yuehua's ear.

Nangong Yuehua immediately withdrew her oppressive aura and said, "I have other matters to attend to today. Go back and write a memorial about rewards and submit it. The Zixiao Dynasty has always been the leading force in the world's cultivators to fight against the Heavenly Demons. Don't let the people of the world lose heart."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yuehua stood up and strode away from the council hall, her red phoenix robe trailing behind her.

After Nangong Yuehua left, the ministers in the hall finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still very dissatisfied with Nangong Yuehua.

"A reward? What's there to reward? He's just a rogue cultivator."

"That's right. That person was just lucky to have a set of exorcism sword techniques. If our Zixiao Dynasty's soldiers also had exorcism sword techniques, they might also be able to kill the demon envoys of the Myriad Laws Realm."

"What a woman's sentimentality. The Zixiao Dynasty is the first dynasty, why should we care about what the world thinks? I said from the beginning that it is not suitable for a woman to rule."

……

These ministers seemed to completely disregard Nangong Yuehua, and immediately began discussing her in the main hall.

At this moment, Nangong Yuehua had arrived at the Imperial Garden. In the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, an old man was sitting, holding a teacup and savoring the tea.
