Chapter 797: Chapter 236: Your Majesty, What Should We Do Now? (Please Subscribe)_2

“Tianji, you didn’t foresee this scene?”

“How could the Great Tang Emperor suddenly take action against the Great Yan Dynasty?”

Upon hearing Jiang Luojing’s words, the Heavenly Machine Elder shook his head, “I do not know of this matter either.”

“However, I believe the Great Tang Emperor most likely had no profound intentions, and it should not have too much impact on our plans.”

“You need not worry excessively, after all, the Great Yan Dynasty ultimately has little to do with you.”

Jiang Luojing slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this, but indeed said nothing more, only nodding slightly.

“There is but a month left until the Heavenly Dao revives, by which time, all awakened Immortals and Deities, Buddha Sect leaders, will make their appearance. If we wish to take the lead, we can only lay out our plans within this month.”

“How are your preparations coming along?”

The Heavenly Machine Elder smiled and nodded, “Naturally, they are almost complete.”

“Ever since the issue arose with my cultivation, I’ve discovered the root of the problems that have afflicted everyone’s cultivation stems from beyond our world, beyond the familiar Three Realms and the Five Elements. There is a more powerful place, the mere trace of its aura is unbearable for us.”

“When the Heavenly Dao fully awakens, our time to act will come. Even if we cannot seize all of the Fate of the Heavenly Dao before the Celestial Gods or the Buddha Sect, the moment of the Dao’s revival, I can exhaust all of my accumulated merits from past and present lives to calculate the exact location of that more powerful place.”

“If we can ascertain its location, there is no issue for us, even if we do not contend with the Celestial Gods or the Buddha Sect in this shattered land for that scant Fate of the Heavenly Dao.”

Jiang Luojing listened to the Heavenly Machine Elder, nodding again gently.

She then said nothing further.

Her gaze shifted towards the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as though she could see someone she yearned for day and night.

Following that, the figures of Jiang Luojing and the Heavenly Machine Elder vanished once again from the spot.

A lone leaf drifted over from afar, then gracefully fell to the ground.

The appearance of the Heavenly Machine Elder and Jiang Luojing did not stir the slightest ripple in this place.

…

After the arrival of the Heavenly Machine Elder.

The Great Tang Emperor no longer continued to pay attention to his surroundings, instead focusing all of his attention on the actions of Zhou Qingxu and others.

It wasn’t long before.

The Great Tang Emperor noticed that Zhou Qingxu and his people had taken complete control of the Great Flame Imperial Family.

And it was only after they had killed those within the court that needed to be killed, and controlled the rest, that the Great Tang Emperor descended from the skies above the Capital of the Great Flame Dynasty.

His every step deliberate,

He walked leisurely into the main hall of the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Inside the main hall of the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty,

The aged Great Yan Emperor sat despondently in a chair aside, while the Royal Family, a multitude of princes and princesses, including the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Zhongxin, stood to one side.

Zhou Qingxu and a group of Tang People stood before the Dragon Chair, indifferently observing the assembly of the Great Flame Imperial Family, as well as the civil and military officials below.

Although the main hall of the Great Yan Dynasty’s Imperial Palace could still be seen as clean and neat, devoid of bloodstains,

The heavy stench of blood lingered within the hall, unable to dissipate for the time being.

Moreover, inside the main hall, including the Great Yan Emperor himself, the Crown Prince Li Zhongxin, nearly all of the Imperial Family, and the officials wore extremely pale, unsightly faces.

Some of the less mentally stout officials trembled continuously, shaking unceasingly.

They had been frightened into pallor by the formidable strength and ruthless methods of Zhou Qingxu and his people.

Those who were originally capable of resistance were now nowhere to be found.

It wasn’t that their remains had been cleaned up; rather, after being struck by Zhou Qingxu and the others, those who were killed left behind neither bones nor remains, turning into blood and ash, vanishing into the air.

Even those close to the Sky-Man within the Martial Emperor Realm could not withstand a single breath in front of Zhou Qingxu’s group, so how could the people of the Great Yan Dynasty not be shocked and chilled to the bone.

Many civil and military officials were already terrified out of their wits.

Yet there still remained a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Because they saw that after Zhou Qingxu and others appeared, they only killed some disobedient troublemakers, and there was no intent to eliminate those who surrendered actively.

This allowed many ministers in the main hall of the Great Yan Dynasty’s imperial palace to breathe a sigh of relief.

Loyalty to the royal family, when one’s life was guaranteed, was certainly possible.

But.

When one’s own life, and even the life of the Emperor, was no longer assured, blind loyalty lost all meaning.

Understanding this, all ministers of the Great Yan Dynasty lowered their heads, showing a submissive demeanor, not daring to raise their heads or look directly at Zhou Qingxu and the others.

They certainly did not want to catch Zhou Qingxu’s attention and become an example used to warn others.

It wasn’t just now that ministers, both civilian and military, dared not show their faces or lift their heads.

They feared a misunderstanding would cost them their heads.

Members of the Great Yan Dynasty’s royal family, including princes and princesses, behaved similarly.

Even the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, the old and frail Sovereign, who was already weak, collapsed to the ground in fright at the sight of Zhou Qingxu and the others, emitting an unsavory smell beneath him.

This putrid odor quickly spread throughout the main hall of the Great Yan imperial palace.

In the past, such incidents did occasionally occur, as the Great Yan Emperor was but a mortal who hadn’t cultivated to the level of Sky-Man, avoiding all natural bodily functions was impossible.

When such incidents happened before, there would immediately be someone to dismiss the ministers so that the Great Yan Emperor could be cleaned up.

But now.

No one cared about the dignity of the Great Yan Emperor.

The previously pale face of the Great Yan Emperor, caused by the sudden appearance of Zhou Qingxu and others, was now covered in cold sweat, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

At first, the Great Yan Emperor didn’t realize his embarrassing state beneath him.

And when he did.

His face, originally filled with fear of Zhou Qingxu and the others, instantly changed to a helpless panic.

The Great Yan Emperor clearly could not accept his present state.

This kind of exposure seemed to be more bearable than death.

At that moment, Zhou Qingxu’s gaze fell upon the Great Yan Emperor, he frowned and then waved his hand, causing the Great Yan Emperor’s body to instantly roll away, flying from near Zhou Qingxu to the entrance of the great hall.

The strong odor that emanated from near the throne now spread among the civilian and military officials.

Everyone’s complexion changed slightly at the scent.

Then, with varying expressions, they looked toward the Great Yan Emperor, who had that morning been seated high on the Dragon Chair, looking down upon them all.

Some wanted to help hide the Great Yan Emperor’s disgrace, but they dared not, instead carefully lowering their heads again, daring not say more.

The stench that entered their noses and mouths also gave them the urge to kick the Great Yan Emperor out.

The once-revered Great Yan Emperor, in an instant, had become an object of everyone’s disdain.

Simultaneously.

Among the civilian and military ministers, some thought that the sudden appearance of Zhou Qingxu and his entourage in the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty was perhaps aimed at replacing the Great Flame Imperial Family and becoming the new rulers of Great Yan.

Just as some ministers were ready to express their willingness for Zhou Qingxu to ascend the throne.

There was a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the main hall of the Great Yan imperial palace.

Step…

Step…

Step…

Outside the imperial hall, a figure slowly emerged.
