Chapter 775 - - 561 How can the fire that burns in the heart be easily extinguished_2?

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“The Prime Minister speaks the truth,” declared Great General Qiu Shiwang, his Martial Gall having been awakened, “Apart from the Human Emperor, no one can command us, the civil and military officials. If they dare to make a move, we will resist unto death.”

“Lost in the cold stars and insensitivity, I devote my blood to Xuanyuan. What the ancient sages could achieve, so can we,” said a Vice Minister as he stood up. He glared angrily toward the direction of Jinluan Hall, clenched his fist, and swung it forcefully as he shouted.

The echo of his voice had not faded.

A blue light descended from the sky, enveloping him, and then, three feet of Literary Heart appeared above his head—he awakened his Literary Heart on the spot.

The Vice Minister was stunned, but then he was overjoyed: “Esteemed colleagues, the Human Emperor still protects us; the Human Race will not perish.”

“The Human Race will not perish,” the crowd responded, invigorated.

“Yes, the Human Race will not perish,” Chi Muzhi, appreciating the Vice Minister, then turned to Yan Zian and said, “Zian, you have the stature of a Literary Saint and a crystal-clear heart. During this crisis, it should be you who steps forward to command the hearts of the people.”

Damn!

This is putting me on the spot!

Just as Yan Zian was preparing to keep a low profile, he was suddenly stunned. He looked at Chi Muzhi and others, and internally groaned. Yet, he knew that retreating now would be as tough as scaling the heavens.

Recalling his keyword ‘generosity’ and thinking about Duge’s long-standing invincible image, Yan Zian took a deep breath and decided to gamble on Duge once more.

Generously tragic is still generous.

Having figured it all out, Yan Zian stood up and said with a hearty laugh, “That is indeed my desire; I dare not claim competence, but I ask my mentor to lend me his strength.”

…

Jinluan Hall.

Heavenly Masters Xu and Zhang heard the noise outside, but they didn’t pay much attention. The whole Eastern Polar Continent was in a mess right now. The Human Emperor’s inheritance had nearly brainwashed the mortals, and they needed to devise a suitable decree to make decisions.

Killing people wouldn’t solve the problem; it might just make the resistance fiercer.

Moreover.

They were, after all, Immortals, and indiscriminate killing of mortals would taint them with karma.

“Heavenly Master Zhang, how should we respond?” Heavenly Master Xu asked.

“We should start from the root, rebuild the royal house, and use it to quell the rebellion and denounce the Human Emperor’s inheritanc,” after some thought, Heavenly Master Zhang said.

Hearing their conversation, Feng Xuan shook his head secretly. The fire of the Human Emperor had already been kindled; Literary Heart and Martial Gall now touched everyone’s interests. Dreaming of extinguishing the fire with the support of the old royal family? How difficult would that be?

With that level of competence, soon enough, Duge would play them all!

Perhaps, he should fan the flames a bit, help Duge maintain the situation; maybe he could even gain some benefits from it…

“Ancestor Master, please think thrice,” Xu Jinkui suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling, “The Ancestor is not an Evil Demon…”

The immortals brought away by Xianyou True Monarch were divine; the cultivators of the Mortal Realm were not yet qualified to be summoned to the Heavenly Court for judgment, thus, Xu Jinkui and other cultivators were all left behind.

“Xu Jinkui, hold your tongue,” Heavenly Master Xu interrupted him angrily, “You fool, I haven’t settled my accounts with you yet. You almost destroyed my Dragon Tiger Mountain’s lineage with your hands, how have I treated you badly that you heed the words of an Evil Demon and think to establish another sect?”

“Ancestor Master, establishing another sect was indeed an oversight led by my personal desires,” Xu Jinkui said, “But if the Ancestor insists on antagonizing the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, I fear our Dragon Tiger Mountain’s lineage may indeed be severed.”

“Nonsense!” Heavenly Master Xu raised his hand, a surge of Spiritual Power sent Xu Jinkui flying with a roll, before he turned to Heavenly Master Zhang, and said apologetically, “Heavenly Master Zhang, excuse my lapse.”

“No matter,” Heavenly Master Zhang smiled, “Brother Xu, please stay calm; we might as well listen to him for a while, maybe we can find a strategy.”

“Indeed,” Heavenly Master Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“Ancestor Master, how could an Evil Demon so easily awaken the Human Emperor inheritance? How could he easily persuade two Emperors?”

Xu Jinkui knelt again, his face full of sorrow, “In just over ten days, he ascended from a commoner through the Ninety-Nine Tribulations? At the Nascent Soul Cultivation Level, he was already capable of remodeling foundations for others. Many disciples of our Dragon Tiger Mountain had their foundations improved by him…

Each of these deeds, which one could an Evil Demon possibly achieve? Xianyou True Monarch’s eyes were blinded by power; can you truly not see the problem here?

Perhaps he is not the Human Emperor reincarnated, but there is absolutely no doubt about his identity as the Heavenly Demon. Ancestor Master, only the Heavenly Demon could trigger such massive upheaval in merely a month!

Even if we don’t ally with him, we should avoid making him our enemy. Plus, if the chaos was so simple to resolve, would the Daoist Ancestor and Immortal Emperor have taken the issue as seriously as they did to arrange things?”

“Nonsense,” Heavenly Master Xu rebuked, yet his tone was no longer as confident as before.

“Ancestor Master, the Evil Demon was also summoned by the old ancestor as part of the scheme; he spent a million years on this plan…” Xu Jinkui said, “Within the Heavenly Court, who knows how many are his pawns blindly involved in the struggle between the Daoist Ancestor and the Heavenly Demon; are you truly not afraid, Ancestor Master?

Even if it were just an Evil Demon, why would Xianyou True Monarch not dare to go to the Southern Zen Region, but instead return to the Heavenly Court to ask the Immortal Emperor for troops? Could it be that he just wanted to deal with the Longevity Emperor?”

“…” Heavenly Master Xu was stunned, his expression complex for a moment.

“You tell me,” Heavenly Master Zhang shook his head, pointing to Feng Xuan, “Could an Evil Demon achieve what Duge has? I want the truth.”
