LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
444. EMPERORS.
“Home master, Your Majesty called you!” After six hours of long waiting, a guard finally came to this secluded room.
The three sighed as if going to their funeral and following the guards without any dissent.
Soon they arrived at the palace gate. The guard bowed and gestured for them to enter. With a deep breath, the three slipped into the hall.
They saw the dignified emperor on his throne, with Sima Hui next to him.
At the end of the stairs, in front of the throne, stood the high and mighty Marshal Dugu.
The three gulped, feeling as if their hearts were in vise when the gazes of these people landed on them.
“Valley Lord You, Hall Lord Yan, House Lord Lin, greet Your Majesty!” They showed great respect to the emperor.
The Emperor nodded with a triumphant smile, “Home master, can you guess why I called you?”
“Uh ..” They all shook their heads, “Your Majesty, we are not.”
Bam!
With a clang, three jade slips landed in front of them. The emperor's tone dropped lower, though,
“Huh, so you don't know? Then do you at least know this jade slip? ”
The three of them began to sweat like pigs as they nodded.
“Then tell me why you explicitly opposed my decree,
going to an area I consider off limits? Even you, the seven houses, the founder of the empire do not have such rights! ”
Emperor slapped his throne armrest, made the three slump to the ground on their knees, “Let us go, Your Majesty!”
This has never happened before. The seven houses, the host, for the first time, knelt before the emperor.
The emperor raised an eyebrow, feeling freer than ever. It was as if going back to the time of ascension, when all the officials respected him the most.
In fact, he was much more touched than before.
When had there ever been a case in Tianyu Empire's long history of an emperor that made the seven masters kneel before them? This may be the first time since the nation has united.
Such an honor raised him above all the other emperors before him.
However, he could not let her appear, or these three men would milk her again!
So the emperor kept a hard and cold face, even though his tone sounded softer,
Please share with me your motives so that I can judge whether your actions are indeed unintentional mistakes! ”
His third eye sparkled.
Did the emperor give us a way out? All we did was because of that Tan Wen Hong! As long as that fool died, the Tan clan and Windgaze City were insignificant.
But before they could explain, Dugu Zhantian barked, “Speak, who is behind you all?”
Shivering, the three choked on their words. They peeked at the emperor, only to see him showing the same cold and calm face.
It was tantamount to saying Dugu Zhantian voiced the emperor's intentions. Since he could not immediately say it, he had Dugu Zhantian play his representative.
It means very clear. The Emperor did not care why they went to Windgaze City, only curious by whose order they marched.
The Emperor was eyeing the Regent Estate and they were a means to an end, only pawns.
They immediately broke out in cold sweat.
The emperor, a tiger who had been confined to the palace all his life, was ready to go out and persecute someone.
But the thing was, the Regent Estate was also not an easy target, a ferocious tiger alone!
The three houses are now in the middle of the Regent Estate and the imperial family's power struggle. Their only fate, sacrifice!
Cursed to the high heavens! How do we end up in this mess?
If only we hadn't listened to the Regent Estate and attacked Windgaze City. The imperial family will have no reason to look for us.
They now faced a heavy burden of choosing to let the emperor persecute them or to be used to persecute the Regent Estate.
But will the Regent Estate let them go afterward?
All three are filled with regret. They bite their lips, not sure what to say.
“Speak, who is behind you?” Dugu Zhantian barked and suppressed them with his powerful soul.
If it was another chance, the three Heaven Profound pinnacle experts could stand firm, as they were on the verge of advancing to the Radiant Stage.
But now, however, they were terrified, their spirits shaken. And this show of force pierced through their mental walls, making their clenched jaws relax.
But then, a loud shout echoed.
“Regent Estate Lord, Huangpu Tianyuan and Prime Minister Zhuge Changfeng request an audience!”
