Chapter 768 Attitudes of All Parties
What happened in Black Moon City spread quickly throughout the Ziyang World. There were too many witnesses to Lu Chen's easy killing of the demon envoy, so it could not be concealed.
In addition, many forces had heard that Lu Chen had the exorcist sword technique, so they sent many spies to Black Moon City to inquire about the situation. Those spies also witnessed what happened. Before the next day, those spies had sent the news back to their respective forces.
The Great Chu Dynasty.
In the court.
The Chu Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face pale, without a trace of blood.
At this time, the ministers in the hall did not dare to speak. They had always thought that the Chu Emperor was a useless emperor who could not even maintain the integrity of the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty.
As a result, after the Black Moon City incident was exposed, the ministers realized that they had underestimated the Chu Emperor. The national teacher beside the Chu Emperor was actually a demon envoy of the Wanfa Realm, and even the owner of the Blood Rainbow Square was not his opponent.
If it were not for Lu Chen, who was even more against the sky, it would not take long for the Chu Emperor to clear out all those who opposed him.
It's a pity that this happened suddenly. It was a great thing for the ministers of the Great Chu Dynasty, but they didn't cheer for it because they realized that the King of Chu was hiding his abilities.
A demon envoy has been following the King of Chu. Who can the King of Chu be?
Will the King of Chu also become a demon cultivator? Or even a demon envoy?
In the absence of external forces to conquer the King of Chu, the ministers of the Great Chu Dynasty and those separatist forces became honest all of a sudden.
The King of Chu glanced at the ministers in the court, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Deputy City Lord Lu killed a demon for the Great Chu and prevented the people of the Great Chu from suffering. How do you think I should reward him?"
The tone of the King of Chu was obviously full of unwillingness. Although he had always wanted to get rid of the control of the old demon Xiao Chenghua, he didn't expect Xiao Chenghua to be eliminated so quickly, and the key was that he also exposed his identity as the national teacher of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Now all the major forces in the Ziyang world probably already know that Xiao Chenghua, the Great Chu State Master, is a demon envoy. Maybe some forces will attack the Great Chu Dynasty in the name of a demon slayer.
At this time, the Chu Emperor wanted to destroy Lu Chen with his own hands. Of course, he also knew his own weight. Even Xiao Chenghua, the old demon, was not Lu Chen's identity. He would probably be killed in front of Lu Chen.
He now suspected that Lu Chen was also from the Zixiao Dynasty. Although the Zixiao Dynasty was in civil strife, the Zixiao Dynasty had always been more concerned about the situation of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land. Maybe it was because the unusual movement of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land attracted the attention of the Zixiao Dynasty, so Lu Chen was specially sent here.
After the Chu Emperor finished speaking, the ministers in the hall still did not speak. The whole hall was extremely dull. They also heard the unwillingness in the Chu Emperor's tone and the hatred for Lu Chen, so they did not dare to stand up and touch the bad luck.
At this time, the hall was extremely quiet and dull. Even the sound of breathing could be heard. The ministers' sweat kept flowing from their foreheads to their necks.
After an unknown amount of time, a minister finally stood up and said tremblingly: "This old minister believes that Deputy City Lord Lu is powerful and has made such great contributions. He has eliminated a major threat to the Great Chu Dynasty and has made great contributions to the entire Ziyang World. He should be crowned king."
Hearing the word "crown king", all the ministers' eyes were focused on this minister. People couldn't help but think that this old guy was really bold.
Crown king?
Didn't you see that the King of Chu was angry and his tone was obviously that he wanted to kill Lu Chen, and you actually said that Lu Chen should be crowned king?
Just when almost all the ministers thought that the minister who proposed the title of king was going to be in trouble, the Emperor of Chu said: "What Zheng Aiqing said makes sense. Deputy City Lord Lu has made such great contributions and is indeed qualified to be crowned king."
At this point, the Emperor of Chu said to the eunuchs under the Dragon Platform: "Draft an edict. Lu Chen is very powerful..."
Seeing that the Emperor of Chu actually crowned Lu Chen as a king, the ministers were stunned.
But soon people realized that the Emperor of Chu did not really want to reward Lu Chen, but had to reward Lu Chen. Rewarding Lu Chen was just for other dynasties and other forces to see.
Now that the national teachers of the Great Chu Dynasty are all demon envoys, people in the world will definitely suspect whether the Emperor of Chu has any relationship with demon 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 it be confirmed that the relationship between the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty and the demon cultivators?
Rewarding Lu Chen is just to express an attitude to other dynasties and forces.
At the same time.
Zixiao Dynasty, Council Hall
Nangong Yuehua, wearing a bright red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, sat on a huge phoenix chair and glanced at the silent ministers in the hall.
After a while, Nangong Yuehua said: "I believe that you have heard about what happened in Black Moon City."
"What do you think the Zixiao Dynasty should do about what happened in Black Moon City?"
As soon as the voice fell, a minister stood up and said: "Since the state teacher of the Great Chu Dynasty is a demon envoy, the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty must have some inextricable relationship with the demon cultivators. I think we should immediately send troops to attack the Great Chu Dynasty and destroy those demon cultivators to prevent them from bringing greater disasters to the world."
"I also agree with General Qin's words. We should send troops early before the demon cultivators bring more trouble to this world. Moreover, the Great Chu Dynasty and the Demon-Sealed Forbidden Land are close to each other. If we do nothing, the Great Chu Dynasty will The Chu Dynasty colludes with the demons, and sooner or later the demons will be released. By then it will be too late for us to send troops to destroy the demon cultivators. "
Then many ministers also stood up and expressed their intention to send troops to attack the Chu Dynasty, but Nangong Yuehua did not say anything immediately.
Her red eyes scanned the ministers in the hall, seeming to be thinking about something.
When she received the news from Black Moon City, like most people, her first reaction was shock.
She also knew that Lu Chen had the ability to restrain demonic energy, but she did not expect that Lu Chen could use his personal strength to kill a demon of the Ten Thousand Magic Realm with the power of a demon.
She remembered that the last time she went to Black Moon City, she saw Lu Chen's strength at the early stage of the Creation Realm. How could he break through to the Yin-Yang Realm in such a short period of time?
Moreover, the Yin-Yang Realm can kill the demon envoys of the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm across levels, and the number of enemies it can kill at higher levels is too much.
Is this person really just because of his special physique?
According to eyewitnesses, even the owner of Xuehongfang, including her sister, was no match for Xiao Chenghua, but Lu Chen was able to crush Xiao Chenghua right out of the gate.
Has Lu Chen's control over demonic energy reached such a terrifying level?
If Lu Chen were to deal with the demon, would the effect be as obvious?
At this time, the main hall was still discussing the sending of troops to the Chu Dynasty. After Nangong Yuehua came back to his senses, he said: "This Lu Chen killed a demon envoy of the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm. Although he was not from the Zixiao Dynasty, but He has indirectly contributed to the Zixiao Dynasty. How do you think I should reward him? "
After hearing what Nangong Yuehua said, ministers, look at me and I look at you. The matter of sending troops has not been discussed yet, but the Queen suddenly proposed to reward a casual cultivator who was not from the Zixiao Dynasty.
What is there to reward? Although this casual cultivator has indeed contributed to the Ziyang world, it is also for himself, and Black Moon City is not the territory of the Zixiao Dynasty.
At this time, a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that this Lu Chen possesses exorcism sword skills. He was able to kill a demon envoy in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm with his cultivation in the Yin and Yang Realm. He must have relied on this set of sword skills. "
"Now that the seal of the Demonic Forbidden Land has been loosened, the demon may break through the seal at any time. Lu Chen's exorcism sword technique is very important to us. If we want to seal the demon again, we must have this sword technique. I feel Someone should be sent to invite Lu Chen to the Zixiao Dynasty and force Lu Chen to hand over this sword technique."
Nangong Yuehua glanced indifferently at the minister who asked Lu Chen to hand over the exorcism sword technique, and then said coldly: "I am asking you to discuss how to reward him, but you want me to force him to Zixiao Dynasty, force him to hand over the exorcism sword technique. If you let me force a hero who just killed the demon envoy, what will the people of the world think of me in the future? You are trying to trap me in injustice!"
As soon as the words fell, the pressure on Nangong Yuehua was released instantly, and the minister instantly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I only serve the Zixiao Dynasty and have no other thoughts!"
Nangong Yuehua snorted coldly and was about to continue saying something. Suddenly, a maid came to the Fengtai despite Nangong Yuehua's pressure and whispered something in Nangong Yuehua's ear.
Nangong Yuehua immediately put away the pressure on his body, and then said: "I still have something to do today. Let's go back and write a letter about the reward and hand it over. The Zixiao Dynasty has always been the number one force leading the world's monks to fight against the demons. Don't let this happen. The whole world is heartbroken."
After the words fell, Nangong Yuehua stood up directly, walked out of the political hall, dragging his red phoenix robe.
After Nangong Yuehua left, the ministers in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still very dissatisfied with Nangong Yuehua.
"Reward? What's there to reward? Just a casual cultivator."
"That's right, that person is just lucky and has a set of exorcism sword skills. If our soldiers from the Zixiao Dynasty also have exorcism sword skills, they may also be able to kill the demon envoys in the Ten Thousand Magic Realm."
"It's really a woman's kindness. The Zixiao Dynasty is the first dynasty. Why should we care about what the world thinks? I said from the beginning that it was inappropriate for a woman to rule."
…
These ministers seemed not to take Nangong Yuehua seriously at all, and started talking about Nangong Yuehua directly in the main hall.
At this time, Nangong Yuehua has arrived at the Imperial Garden. In the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, there is an old man sitting. The old man is holding a tea cup and savoring the tea carefully.
