20demayo Chapter 1317 His Majesty's Decree
Chapter 1317 His Majesty's Decree
Gudong.
The patriarch of the Li family swallowed hard, his dry throat making a straining sound like a broken bellows.
He wanted to beg for mercy, to explain himself, to say something more.
But faced with that absolute threat of death, he couldn't utter a single word.
The area in front of the imperial city gate was deathly quiet.
The hundreds of holy emperors who had been so agitated and clamoring for justice were now all speechless.
They looked at the Li family patriarch, whose face was ashen and who was trembling like a leaf, then at the severed finger at his feet, and finally, their gazes fell on the man who stood like a mountain.
General Xiang!
This man really dares to kill them!
And it was done by imperial decree!
His Majesty's exact words...
Used as a chamber pot...
These words echoed wildly in each of their minds, crushing their pitiful dignity and sense of luck to dust!
Finally, one of the old monsters couldn't stand the extremely oppressive atmosphere any longer and began to communicate cautiously within a small area using divine sense.
"What should we do? What...what exactly is going on? Why is His Majesty so biased towards an outsider?"
"Favoritism? Is this favoritism? This is trying to kill us!"
"General Xiang is absolutely not lying! Look at the imperial city! There hasn't been the slightest movement! If we were all killed by him here, His Majesty wouldn't even blink!"
These words awakened everyone!
Yup!
This is the Imperial City! The pinnacle of the Forbidden City!
This is where His Majesty the Holy Emperor reigns supreme!
No matter how much favored General Xiang is, he is still just His Majesty's dog!
If he dares to falsely convey the imperial edict here and act arrogantly, how could His Majesty, with his profound knowledge, not know?
If His Majesty shows even the slightest dissatisfaction, General Xiang will be reduced to ashes in an instant!
But now?
The imperial city was quiet.
What does this mean?
This proves that every word General Xiang said was true!
This means that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is watching them indifferently from the heavens above!
Staring at this group of... clowns!
The moment they realized this, a chill more terrifying than death shot straight from the depths of all the old monsters' hearts to the top of their heads!
They weren't afraid of General Xiang.
What they feared was the person behind General Xiang, the one who truly held their lives in his hands!
That outsider...
That young man in white...
Who is he?
What is his identity?
How could His Majesty the Holy Emperor be willing to trample on the dignity of all his noble families in this way just to stand up for him?
fear!
Boundless fear overwhelmed all anger and resentment.
They finally realized that this time, they seemed to have really kicked a brick wall that they didn't even have the right to look up at!
No, that's not a metal plate!
That's the sky, capable of crushing the entire universe!
"Pfft!"
A muffled thud broke the deathly silence of the scene.
Everyone stared in horror.
The Li family patriarch, who had been shouting the loudest before, suddenly collapsed to his knees and knelt down!
He lay sprawled on the ground, his forehead pressed firmly against the cold earth, his aged body trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind.
"Your subject... Li Zhaofeng..."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
These three words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth!
Every word is stained with blood and endless humiliation!
His kneeling triggered a chain reaction.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
A series of muffled thuds rang out.
The hundreds of Chaos Saint Emperors who were once high and mighty and invincible are now kneeling down in front of the imperial city gate like dumplings being dropped into a pot!
"I...obey the order!"
"Your Majesty, we... obey!"
The thunderous response was filled with despair and fear.
Their last shred of dignity was trampled into the mud by their own hands.
Faced with this scene, General Xiang's face remained unchanged.
He merely stared indifferently at this group of old bastards who had been swaggering one moment and were now as servile as dogs the next, a deep, unyielding contempt flashing in the depths of his eyes.
He slowly sheathed the black battle sword.
"Click."
A single, soft sound determined the fate of hundreds of holy emperors.
"roll!"
General Xiang uttered a single word from his throat.
Then he turned around and stood like a statue at the palace gate, never looking at those people again.
It was as if even glancing at him would taint his eyes.
What a shame!
This is a humiliation that is even more unbearable than killing them!
The old monsters kneeling on the ground trembled violently. They could feel the undisguised mocking gazes from all directions cast by the Imperial Guards.
They wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground!
But they dared not.
The patriarch of the Li family was the first to get up from the ground, trembling.
He dared not raise his head, dared not look at General Xiang, and dared not look at the majestic imperial city.
He simply hunched over, like an old dog with a broken spine, and silently turned away.
The others also stood up one after another.
No one speaks.
The entire space was deathly silent, filled only with their heavy, suppressed breathing.
They arrived in numbers of several hundred, looking very aggressive, and wanted to file a complaint with the emperor.
Now, they still number in the hundreds, but they have to slink back and kowtow to beg for forgiveness!
This huge contrast almost caused their Dao hearts to collapse!
Finally, this "army of apologies," composed of hundreds of Chaos Saint Emperors, began its heavy journey.
They walked back step by step in the direction they had come from, towards the Wind and Rain Tower.
Every step felt like stepping on my own face.
……
at the same time.
Inside the top floor hall of the Wind and Rain Tower.
"puff--"
Feng Wanli spat out the top-grade divine tea he had just drunk, spilling it all over the ground.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the water mirror in front of him.
The water mirror clearly reflected everything that happened in front of the imperial city gate.
From the Li family patriarch's clamor to General Xiang drawing his sword, and finally to hundreds of emperors kneeling in unison!
Not a single scene was missed!
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
Feng Wanli was so excited that his face turned red, his whole body was trembling, and he was swearing incoherently.
"Chamber pots! Hahahaha! His Majesty actually said he'd twist their heads off and use them as chamber pots!"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Feng Wanli laughed so hard that tears almost streamed down his face. He clutched his stomach, completely lacking the demeanor of a Saint Emperor.
"Let you old geezers show off!"
"I'll teach you to look down on me!"
"Isn't that great? Everyone's going to kowtow to Senior Ye and admit their mistakes! Hahaha, I could laugh for an entire epoch!"
He laughed so hard he could hardly breathe, and it took him a long time to recover.
Looking at the reflection in the water mirror, where the group of Holy Emperor Ancestors walked dejectedly towards the Wind and Rain Tower like stray dogs, he revealed an expression of immense satisfaction and anticipation.
