Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 832 - 230: The Stolen Fortune of the Great Yan Kingdom! The Imperial City Trembles!_2
"That’s the Situ Family’s residence over there, isn’t it?"
Only after the Great Yan Emperor asked such a question
did the old eunuch dare to speak, "Your Majesty, yes."
The Great Yan Emperor furrowed his brows even more tightly as he looked at the twisted form of the Demons and Devils, feeling the scorching sensation in the air and the faint demon breeze that met his face, he said with a heavy tone, "We must not allow that Demons and Devils to leave that place!"
As the emperor of a dynasty, both his strength and insight were top-notch. Therefore... he was well aware of the kind of devastation that a Demons and Devils could wreak upon his Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty.
And... given that the Situ Family’s residence was so close to the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty, should that Demons and Devils set its sights on his Imperial Palace, the entire palace might well be reduced to rubble! He believed in the Demons and Devils’ power to do just that.
"A very strong oppressive force," the Great Yan Emperor lamented with a weighty tone, "If it were just me fighting it one-on-one, I fear that in the end, the one to die would be me."
"Perhaps it wouldn’t even reach the end; it’s likely that in just an encounter, I would already be no match for it. It is even more powerful than any certified Demons and Devils!"
The weak voice of the eunuch behind him chimed in, "Your Majesty, with the national fortune of the Great Yan at your disposal, how could you not be a match for a mere Demons and Devils? Your Majesty, you’re overestimating that Demons and Devils."
"Ha!" The Great Yan Emperor laughed derisively and shook his head, "At a time like this, there’s no need to offer such flattering and sycophantic words."
His eyes were fixed intently on the colossal body of the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable, "It’s also unclear who is fighting that Demons and Devils."
As an emperor of a dynasty, he could perceive many things that others could not.
For instance, he could tell that the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable was in combat!
This was somewhat shocking to the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
After all, he truly could not think of any expert within his Great Yan Dynasty who was strong enough to fight such a Demons and Devils? There were indeed many experts he could recall, but surely, they weren’t that formidable, were they?
Could it be... an ancestor from the Situ Family had emerged? That shouldn’t be the case either, for if an ancestor of the Situ Family had crawled out from the Netherworld, he should have been able to sense it.
Now that he, the Great Yan Emperor, could not sense it, then it could only mean that the person fighting the Demons and Devils was an outsider, and moreover, a powerful cultivator he did not recognize! He didn’t even know whether the cultivator was from the Great Yan Dynasty.
If this were a small county town within the Great Yan Dynasty, then as the Emperor, he would dare to assert that the cultivator was from the Great Yan Dynasty.
After all, within a small county town, it would be rare to encounter cultivators from other dynasties.
But the problem here was the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty, where cultivators from other dynasties were exceedingly numerous.
Out of a hundred cultivators... it was feared that twenty would be from other dynasties.
If it were someone from the Great Yan Dynasty, it would be good, but if they were from other dynasties...
"It’s a strong dragon indeed!" the Great Yan Emperor muttered under his breath.
Whether the person was friend or foe, who could say for certain?
"Your Majesty, it seems that many big fires have been ignited within the Imperial Palace," the old eunuch inquired, "If we let these fires spread, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they engulf the entire palace, and by then, putting out the fire will be very difficult. Should we mobilize some cultivators to extinguish this mysterious blaze?"
"There’s no need to bother, just let those little eunuchs put out the fire, and if they can’t, it doesn’t matter," the Great Yan Emperor spoke gravely, "If such fires continue, it would mean that the person fighting the Demons and Devils has lost."
"By then... the Demons and Devils will rampage through the Imperial City incessantly, and sooner or later they will come to the Imperial Palace. What difference would it make if the Imperial Palace burned to ashes or was leveled to the ground? There’s no point in hoping that the Immortal Gods from the heavens would descend to help."
The Great Yan Emperor took a deep breath, "The Immortal Gods won’t descend to help with matters that aren’t to their advantage. In the years of my reign as Emperor, I have seen through the deities above."
"After all, they are not human... They will not think from the perspective of humans, nor will they consider issues from the human standpoint."
"To put it unpleasantly, they don’t differ much from the Demons and Devils."
"It’s just that they are much more powerful than the Demons and Devils and slightly more orderly."
"The difference between the deities and the Demons and Devils is simply this and nothing more!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"We can only rely on ourselves for everything."
The words spoken by the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty were indeed shocking to the point of causing great unrest. If such words were to spread, it would likely provoke verbal attacks from countless cultivators. After all, this was a display of irreverence towards the Immortal Gods above.
The old eunuch standing behind him also felt that the Emperor’s remarks were somewhat inappropriate, but he did not dare to voice any objection. Who would dare to refute the words of their current sovereign of the Great Yan Dynasty?
From the emperor’s words, it was evident that the Great Yan Emperor held a pessimistic view regarding facing a Demons and Devils. The strength of the Demons and Devils surpassed what the Great Yan Dynasty could tolerate.
