Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 850 - 233: The Great Yan Emperor’s Shock! The Lifesaver is a Wanted Criminal?_2
His face involuntarily took on a wry smile, "It really is... such a sorry state! The Imperial Court nurtured me with such Power and cultivation, for the purpose of resolving incidents like this. Yet, when such an incident occurs, I find myself... so utterly powerless."
Not only did he harbor such thoughts, but those cultivators within the Great Yan Imperial Palace... essentially all shared his sentiments. It could only be said that each of them felt a sense of defeat in their hearts, and began to doubt if their Dao hearts were truly steadfast.
A high-ranking general within the Imperial Palace, gazing at the scene not far off, said with a complex expression, "Help this old man take off his armor... It seems there is no need for this old man to fight to the death."
A Minister from the court wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "The Dynasty’s fate has not yet run its course, the Great Yan’s fate has not yet run its course!"
Even such individuals of special status reacted in this way, not to mention the ordinary maids, guards, or eunuchs. The reactions of these commoners were even more exaggerated.
Should one observe carefully, they would notice that beneath them, it had long been soaked. They had been frightened out of their wits by the terror of the Demons and Devils, wetting themselves early on.
Some were even scared into fainting and hadn’t yet come to.
Many people looked bewilderedly at their surroundings, at the Imperial Palace where buildings had collapsed everywhere, feeling everything was so surreal, yet it was indeed happening to them. Who could imagine... that in less than half a day, their Great Yan Dynasty’s Imperial Palace would be nearly razed to the ground by the war.
Those still alive felt they had narrowly reclaimed their lives. To survive in the devastating aftermath of such a terrible war, it was as if their ancestor’s graves were furiously smoking!
"Mother... I... I’m not dead..." A little eunuch from the palace couldn’t get up from the ground for a long time, his hands and feet numb as mud.
It was not because he was injured, but because that terrifying vision had scared him into this state.
The little eunuch had originally thought that after managing to enter the Imperial Palace and becoming an eunuch, he would live without worry. If, in the future, he could become a senior eunuch, he would live even more without worry, even be considered above the masses.
But who could have predicted that inside the Imperial Palace, there would also be such grave danger? Today, he almost lost this frail life.
Moreover, he felt a constant buzzing in his ears, as if he could not hear anything at all.
This left his expression in utter panic.
Within the Imperial Palace... everyone had their own state of mind.
Meanwhile.
In the loft.
The Great Yan Emperor looked up at the national fate golden dragon as it broke free from its bindings and disappeared into the sky. After that national fate golden dragon vanished, he felt the peeling pain from his body also disappeared with it.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Demons and Devils have been extinguished! They have been slain by that person!" The old eunuch behind the Great Yan Emperor excitedly almost danced with joy, his wrinkled old face filled with thrilled emotion.
"I have seen it," the Great Yan Emperor said with emotion, "In the end, when the devil rises one foot, the Dao rises ten feet! It also shows that my Great Yan Dynasty’s fate has not yet reached its limit."
"But Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace now..." Snapping out of his excitement, the old eunuch looked at the sorry state of the palace and reminded the Great Yan Emperor.
"The Imperial Palace can be rebuilt if it is gone, but if the Dynasty is gone, then it’s truly over," the Great Yan Emperor waved his hand.
Then.
He continued, "Let’s go... follow me to see, the noble person who has slain the Demons and Devils, just who they might be."
"Yes... Huh?" The old eunuch instinctively nodded, then realized something was amiss.
His murky old eyes couldn’t help but widen, "Your Majesty, this will not do, Your Majesty!"
He hurriedly advised, "We do not yet know whether the person who has slain the Demons and Devils is friend or foe. What if he is an enemy of the Great Yan Dynasty? If you go now, wouldn’t it be extremely dangerous? Your Majesty, would you allow this old servant to go alone to take a look?"
"If there happens to be any danger, ultimately, the only one to die would be this old servant alone. I am but a lowly, rootless body, utterly insignificant. But you, Your Majesty, are the true Son of Heaven. You cannot afford any mishap!"
The Great Yan Emperor shook his head, "If the other party is an enemy of the Great Yan Dynasty, then even if I hide within the Imperial Palace, they would seek me out. Given that, it’s better to meet them openly."
"In doing so, even if they are enemies, it would demonstrate my complete fearlessness. If they are not enemies, then it would show that I, as the Emperor, treat esteemed individuals with due courtesy."
"Let’s go, no more words."
An Emperor leaving the palace ought to have some fanfare, but the problem was... the Great Yan Imperial Palace had already fallen into such chaos, and there was no longer any fanfare to speak of. Moreover, under these circumstances, the Great Yan Emperor had no intention to fuss over such pomp and circumstance, and he simply left the palace with just the old eunuch.
Even others within the Imperial Palace were unaware that their Emperor had already left the palace. When some of the guards and eunuchs in the sky finally came to their senses, they realized they had neglected their Emperor. By the time they rushed to the loft, they discovered that their Emperor had vanished.
