LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
407. THE FAILED DECREE.
The Demon Cleansing Decree was an act of seven houses, which held as much power as the emperor's decree. However, it was much more cruel.
Even if the emperor were to be subjected to some offense, his decree would involve seven houses, at most, in dealing with offenders.
But the Demon Cleansing Decree gave a constant killing order to the target, whereby, the seven houses would deploy all their assets, including His Majesty, in hunting him down.
The target will be annihilated with extreme prejudice. It was not limited to the target as well, as it included the place he was visiting, be it a village or a city. They're all burned out.
Driven by fear, everyone would start hunting down targets as well, until he had nowhere to hide in the entire Tianyu Empire.
In this way, the target will slowly become tired, unable to cope, and eventually perish.
As this was a drastic action, the Devil Cleaning Decree was issued only if it was unanimously chosen by the seven hosts.
If one house failed to participate, it would be tantamount to betraying the imperial family and being branded as a traitor.
However, Tan Wen Hong had only killed people from four houses, becoming their sworn enemies.
Even if he made the seven of them breathe on his neck, it still did not guarantee such a cruel and cruel act as the Demon Cleansing Decree.
Because this act implies the slaughter of innocent people in cold blood.
Three centuries ago, seven houses would refrain from using it as well, but the little monster was too difficult to deal with. While this time, it was used on a mere Tempering Bone cultivator!
Everyone frowned, immersed in their thoughts.
“What does everyone think?” Huangpu Tianyuan smiled.
Yan Bogong, You Wanshan, and the others nodded, “We agree with the decision of the Estate Lord. The boy must be dropped immediately! ”
Long Yifey muttered, “However, using the current Demon Cleansing Decree is excessive.
This implied the cry of weapons throughout the empire and an explanation had to be given to the imperial family.
Furthermore, Tan Wen Hong was barely at the level of that little monster three centuries ago.
It makes no sense to use the Demon Cleansing Decree just for this.”
Xie Xiaofeng nodded.
“Huh, of course you will say that, Pavilion Lord Long. At that moment, the Shrouded Dragon Pavilion was willing to take the blame for the child.
You should practically join at the hip with that demon right now. ” You Wanshan grunting.
Long Yifey roared, “You Wanshan, stop your unfounded accusations!
Would you trust us if we had just told you it wasn't us?
We better settle this now so that rumors don't spread that say that the Qianlong Pavilion is afraid of you.
How now, your story has turned into us falling in love with Tan Wen Hong?”
“He-he-he, you know very well who is to blame. Did you tell me that you were unaware of what was happening in your own backyard? Windgaze City is your domain!”
“Ha-ha-ha, you know very well that it is our territory, but you sent the elders. They seek death!”
“Tell that again!” You Wanshan slapped the table and jumped to his feet. Long Yifey did the same to answer his challenge.
Huangpu Tianyuan snorted furiously.
Which shook the whole place. You Wanshan and Long Yifey felt their ears ringing and a heavy force pressing down on them.
Shock also occurs. Huangpu Tianyuan's strength was incredible. Although all the peak Heaven Profound Stage experts were here, they were cut beneath him.
The two were reduced to just glaring at each other as they sat down.
Staring at them coldly, Huangpu Tianyuan said, “Remember, this is Regent Estate!”
Both apologized but remained vigilant.
“Lord Chu's building, what's your decision?” Huangpu Tianyuan smiled.
After a short reflection, Chu Bijun replied with a smile, “I fully agree to the decision of the Estate Lord. This demon destroyed the Floating Flower Building and had to be destroyed.”
Long Yifey and Xie Xiaofeng looked at each other in confusion.
Hey Grandma, we're allies here. Don't kick us to the curb!
Huangpu Tianyuan was surprised by his casual response.
But then Chu Bijun showed a worried expression, “Master of the Plantation, we can issue the Demon Cleansing Decree, but you must move like lightning and destroy it.
You should know that he has Bodhi Root, the greatest treasure of Drifting Flowers Edifice.
If he is pushed into a corner and eats it, it will increase his strength and will destroy us.”
Chu Bijun's words touched the tone. Huangpu Tianyuan sighed, “After some thought, it is best that we do not let go of a disaster like the Demon Cleansing Decree on people. “
En... wait, what?
