Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1382 - 487: Rumors Shake the World

Zhuang shook her head: "However, the Imitating Heaven Skill of our clan is not omnipotent. They cannot simulate the full power of your three subordinates, and it is unlikely to fool those experts in the top thirty of the Heavenly List. It can only suffice for a moment; don’t hope for long-term reliance."

Emperor Jianyuan thought that this would be enough.

All he needed was a moment to stabilize the court and implement the Ten Big Coins.

※※※※

As Emperor Jianyuan emerged from the ’Divine Illusion Temple,’ he saw a crimson Thunder crossing the sky from a distance.

It was the Heavenly Court Commander Xiaao Hongchen. After dissolving the tunneling light, he noticed Zhen Tianlai, Bu Chaowu, and Zhu Xue behind Emperor Jianyuan and his two companions.

At the sight, he was momentarily stunned, his emotions surging violently.

Xiaao Hongchen immediately suppressed his emotions, his face cold as he handed a thick booklet, half a finger thick, to Emperor Jianyuan.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest issue of the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual, released two days early."

He knelt on the ground, his face pale: "I have failed the task entrusted by Your Majesty, and I beg your forgiveness!"

Emperor Jianyuan took the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual, glanced at it for a moment, and immediately understood the reason.

"Seventh on the Earthly List! Wanxiang Star Plate, Star Authority Seal—"

Emperor Jianyuan let out a sneer: "Get up, you have already done well, what fault is there? Who is Elder Tianji? How could he completely obey the court’s orders? If he doesn’t stir up some trouble for me, he wouldn’t be named Elder Tianji. I believe that soon, the entire Martial Arts world will be shocked by this Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual, and countless people will laugh at my foolishness and stupidity."

Emperor Jianyuan then squinted, his eyes revealing a chilling intent: "Since the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual ranks him so high, the Debating Martial Arts Tower cannot fall behind. Let them publish another special issue, ranking Chu Xisheng at the hundredth position on the Heavenly List."

"One hundredth on the Heavenly List?" Xiaao Hongchen was taken aback, his expression puzzled: "Your Majesty, isn’t this too exaggerated?"

"Precisely because it’s exaggerated and absurd, few will believe it. You can inform the Divine Mechanism Scholars at the Debating Martial Arts Tower to praise him as much as they can."

Emperor Jianyuan chuckled and then reduced the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual in his hand to powder: "It’s just an empty reputation, neither beneficial nor harmful, so why not give it to him. I am quite looking forward to seeing him bask in glory and splendor."

Xiaao Hongchen’s expression had settled: "I will comply!"

Emperor Jianyuan had already walked past him: "From tomorrow, you will take over as the Police Pool of Blood Commander! Do you have any recommendations for the Heavenly Court Commander?"

He borrowed the consort’s subordinates but would not entrust key positions like the Police Pool of Blood, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor to them.

Xiaao Hongchen’s face immediately showed signs of great joy, as he lowered his head reverently: "Your Majesty, my Left Wing Commander of the Heavenly Court, Luo Long, has cultivation at the upper Second Grade, with exceptional abilities, sufficient to take over the Heavenly Court."

Emperor Jianyuan gave a cold smile upon hearing this.

This Xiaao Hongchen was usually clever, but sometimes his simplicity was laughable.

With hands behind his back, he said: "I need Luo Long transferred to the Direct Palace Supervisor for more important tasks. How about this, your Fifth Leader Wan Qi Luohou, has recently been promoted to the lower Second Grade, correct?

This person repeatedly warned that Ji Qianqian might have betrayed the court, and Chu Xisheng harbors rebellious intentions, showing that this person is loyal and honest. Let him be promoted to the Heavenly Court Left Wing Commander, temporarily overseeing the duties of the Heavenly Court Commander. Although his cultivation as a sorcerer is slightly lacking, you can often assist him."

Xiaao Hongchen’s body trembled, and he bowed his head even lower, seemingly somewhat fearful.

Yet, a trace of joy blossomed in his eyes.

Wan Qi Luohou was indeed his ideal successor.

Wan Qi Luohou was the weakest among all the Second Grade Martial Cultivators in the Heavenly Court.

Precisely because of this, he would be easier for him to control.

The position of Police Pool of Blood Commander was high and powerful, but without support, it could easily be undermined by subordinates.

Meanwhile, as the conversation between the ruler and his minister unfolded, the entire Wang’an City was already in turmoil over this issue of the "Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual."

At that moment, Fang Bu Yuan stood at a tavern, watching a group gathering around a storyteller inside the building.

They all held gold and silver or silver notes, their expressions frenzied as they shouted.
