Chapter 374: Just Death

The Imperial Palace. Reading

After the announcement of the edict of the demon court, the people spontaneously gathered outside the palace wall.

In a short period of time, more than thousands of people, a black mass of people kept approaching the gate of the imperial palace.

The soldiers in charge of the garrison were the personal soldiers of Emperor Longqing, who had followed His Majesty to the Qingqiu expedition and were fierce soldiers who could tear tigers and leopards apart and fight demons.

At this time, facing the gradually approaching people, they could only shout loudly and try to persuade them to retreat.

"The imperial palace is a sacred place, no approach! You don't challenge the law, you will bear the consequences..."

Standing in the front was a young scholar, shouting loudly at the imperial palace.

"We want to ask His Majesty, from now on, whether you will kneel down to the demons, and whether your parents and wives at home will be eaten by the demons?"

As the voice fell, the noise outside the palace wall shook the sky.

The hatred between the human race and the demons is not only a racial difference, but also a real blood feud.

Counting the three generations and three clans, it is rare that there has been no experience of demons harming people.

The impression of the people on demons is just two bloody words, cannibalism!

"Calm down! Calm down! The court will definitely protect the people from the harm of demons!"

The commander of the imperial army circulated his true qi, and his voice spread several miles away: "As for kneeling to demons and feeding demons, it's all nonsense to confuse the people. You have to believe in the court..."

"If that's the case, why doesn't the court issue a notice to reassure the people? Do you want to surrender to the demons?"

Questions came from outside the city. The person who spoke stood in the air, stepping on the magic light, but he was a Qi-refining cultivator. .

"Don't talk nonsense!"

A fierce light flashed in the commander's eyes. If it were normal times, he would have killed this person with a knife.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 people outside the palace wall. If he really took action to suppress them, it would definitely lead to unpredictable consequences.

"I don't know about the court's affairs, but..."

The commander took off his armor and was naked, revealing countless crisscrossing scars. One of them was from the shoulder to the waist, almost splitting the whole person in two.

"This general has killed 300 small demons and dozens of big demons. I will never reconcile with demons in this life. Demons treat me the same way!"

"Kill!"

The imperial guards roared in unison, their bodies expanded rapidly as their true energy circulated, their armor burst, revealing hideous and terrifying scars.

The evil spirit rushed to the sky, as if they were all evil spirits.

The people outside the palace wall saw this scene, not only were they not afraid, but they felt much more at ease.

The commander of the imperial guards was relieved when he saw the noise gradually subside. If the people really wanted to attack the palace, the consequence would be a river of blood.

Guarding the palace is the duty of the soldiers!

...

Outside the Dragon Guarding Division.

Emperor Longqing and all the officials have been kneeling for several days, but they still cannot be summoned by the ancestor. Instead, they see the real immortal reading the imperial edict with their own eyes.

The people gathered outside the palace wall, and the voices questioning the court were clearly heard by all the officials.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

Minister Dong stood up and asked, "Has the Sword Saint True God sent a message? We are kneeling here, but it is already too late to save the situation?"

"My dear Dong..."

Emperor Longqing turned pale when he heard this. Yesterday, the ancestor personally sent a message to him, asking him to be under the demon court.

The Protector of the Nation True God Zhang Cheng also sent a message, saying that the immortal gods of the human race have other plans, and in order to avoid the suffering of ordinary people, he temporarily gave in.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything. I understand."

Minister Dong bowed and said, "I have overstepped the bounds by asking questions. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Longqing said, "Your Majesty, you are devoted to the country. What crime have you committed?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Minister Dong said, "I would rather die than be of the same race and dynasty as the demons! Before I die, I have something to say. I hope Your Majesty will listen to it."

"My dear Dong..."

Emperor Longqing signaled to Du Si and Cui Yongnian with his eyes that with their first-class strength, they could stop Minister Dong from committing suicide.

"Seeking benevolence, I will get it. I yearn for it!"

Du Si said, "I would like to help Lord Dong carry the coffin and see him off to show my respect."

Minister Dong looked ashen and his voice was as soft as a mosquito, but everyone in the field was a cultivator and could hear clearly.

"Your Majesty, Taizu established the law to expel the demons, Zhongzong established the Demon Slaying Department to cleanse the evil demons, and the country has been established until now. Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the national policy! This is the law of our ancestors. If it is changed, what is the difference between it and the destruction of the country?"

After the voice fell, the breath was cut off.

Emperor Longqing and all the officials bowed to Minister Dong.

"Faced with such a dramatic change in the world, I am like a tiny ant, and I can only go with the flow."

Du Si murmured, "I just realized today that if I want to open the world of peace, I must prove the strongest in the ages. If I were a saint, I would go to the demon court and ask questions now, instead of sighing helplessly here and watching my colleagues commit suicide!"

"I also have this feeling!"

Emperor Longqing said: "If the demons are not eliminated, even if there are thousands of policies to govern the country, they are castles in the air!"

All the officials were silent when they heard this. The fame they sought for the ages was all in vain in front of the immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons.

During the reign of Emperor Longqing, no matter how much he loved the people and how prosperous the dynasty was in the future, the history books could not avoid a sentence: surrendering to the demon court!

"My dear ministers, come to court!"

Emperor Longqing said loudly: "My reputation in history books is even lower than that of Emperor Li. In this case, what is there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is death!"

Eunuch Chu hurriedly led the way, and the officials followed closely.

In the Fulong Hall, several officials knelt on the ground, not daring to make any movements.

Li Long's eyes were red like fire, and his breath flickered, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

"I lost the fairy lotus first, and then surrendered to the demon court. I have no face to face my ancestors!"

...

Kang Wangfu.

After failing to fight for the dragon, the gate became increasingly deserted.

The concierge was bored and drank tea. Since there were few visitors, he went from the top-grade Longjing tea to tea foam.

"Brother, please let me know."

Suddenly, a voice came: "Yunqizi, a hermit from Deyang Mountain, is here to visit His Royal Highness King Kang."

This was the first time the concierge heard someone claiming to be a hermit, but he quickly agreed after seeing the banknote.

"Hermit, wait a moment!"

A moment later.

The door of the palace opened, and King Kang went out to greet him in person.

"I have heard of Yunqizi's reputation for a long time. Today I finally meet him. It is really a great honor for me!"

"Go away, my reputation is not worth mentioning."

Yunqizi nodded slightly, with pride in his eyes.

Deyang Mountain has been writing books and educating people for 70 years, and has finally waited for the opportunity to rise to the top.

In the study of the palace, Yunqizi chatted with King Kang for a while. Seeing that he always talked about other things, he finally couldn't help but tell him his purpose.

"Your Highness, the establishment of the Demon Court is a great opportunity for you!"

King Kang immediately asked, "Please tell me clearly, sir?"

"Now that Dagan is under the rule of the Demon Court, the Lord of Yunzhou should be appointed and dismissed by the Demon Court, just like the governor of a state."

Yun Qizi said, "I have sought the support of the demon fairy and can help your Highness ascend the throne as emperor!"

"So that's it!"

King Kang showed excitement and said, "I have long disliked that side branch bastard. If the true god had not intervened, he would not have been able to sit on the throne. If you can help, you will be the chief assistant after I ascend the throne!"

"Your Highness, now the world belongs to the Demon Court, which is in accordance with the will of heaven."

Yun Qizi persuaded, "As long as your Highness is loyal to the Demon Court, let alone the throne of Dagan, you may become the master of the human race in the mortal world in the future!"

King Kang was surprised and paced back and forth in the study, saying.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will contact several brothers and join forces with them. We will surely succeed in one fell swoop!"

"Your Highness, please do as you wish."

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Yunqizi sent a message to the demon fairy Zhu Yan after King Kang left.

Huodou contributed his ancestral land, Xuanyu Mountain, and was refined into the Baoguang Palace in the Demon Court. He was appointed to guard the East Heaven Gate and enjoyed immortality.

With no worries about his life span and the support of the Demon Court, he naturally wanted to take revenge and have grievances.

When he incarnated to attend the Dragon Palace Banquet, he was killed by Zhou Yi. Even if he didn't dare to fight in person, he had to find a way to retaliate.

Not long after.

Yunqizi heard the movement of the door, but he didn't see King Kang. Instead, several pale-faced eunuchs came in.

The leader was Eunuch Chu. He looked Yunqizi up and down and said coldly.

"Old man, come with me to the Eunuch Department!"
