Chapter 1403: Chapter 890: What Do You Have to Be Disgruntled About?_2

Those who are deeply entrenched in resentment and refuse to enter reincarnation shall be captured by the Netherworld Disciples and cast into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, never to be reborn!

It is my mother, the Ying Ji Empress! She spilled her blood onto the earth, her spine raising mountains and rivers to form an empire, establishing the Central Netherworld realm.

Resentful souls that would not dissipate in the world were purified by Houtu’s power, washing away their malice, thus giving birth to Heroic Spirits, and in them carried the longevity of mountains and seas.

She established borders, demarcated territories, collected lonely souls, making it so that wild ghosts could no longer roam in the Mortal World, but provided a haven for deceit cultivators who everyone sought to destroy.

So, I cannot understand... What dissatisfaction do you all have."

Baili An turned halfway, gazing distantly at the throne above the ninth step, saying: "Do you truly think she covets this position?

Whatever Ying Xiu says, you all take as truth.

How? My mother created such a sheltering nation with her own hands, and now, having borne the name of Heroic Spirit and ruling the world in glory for so long, you believe you can demand from her willy-nilly.

Saying it’s all for personal attachments, disregarding the greater picture, neglecting the Central Netherworld!

Saying she is crazy, unfit to be Empress or King!

Ying Xiu claims he brought ghosts into the Mortal World and yet harmed not a single life from the Central Netherworld, which you are glad to accept.

Let me ask you all! My mother, as Empress, should she have sacrificed her entire life for the Central Netherworld, and not be like any ordinary woman to marry and have children, then marrying into Tianxi is considered selfish disregard for her people!

Her divorce from Baili Yu is deemed willful and reckless! Failing to secure the future of the Central Netherworld during Tianxi’s prime!

You’ve said all the good and bad things, and in the end, you still find my mother useless, thinking she ought to be replaced!

Is it truly that my mother is too useless, or that you lot are utterly incapable without her support!

That official was so intimidated he was speechless, mouth agape, unsure how to respond.

"I hope you all understand one thing, the world is not a realm of one person, but the Central Netherworld... is indeed one person’s domain!"

Baili An looked down coldly at the crowd: "The Central Netherworld is not your sanctuary of peace.

This power, given by me, can naturally be taken back by me!

If you disagree, you can with your proud bones, take a trip to that Purgatory! Look at the scenery on the Nine Nether Roads and experience the tools of punishment in the hands of the Netherworld Disciples.

Then you will realize what kind of divine days you think are unsatisfactory now."

That official’s eyes turned red from the pressure: "Crown Prince, is it fair for you to speak this way to us!"

"Those who only seek benefits, how could they have the face to speak of fairness?

The Central Netherworld never harbors two ministers, nor should you use national fortune or righteousness to pressure me. If you truly still wish to remain on Central Netherworld’s land, then sincerely pray for your Majesty’s peace and joy, untroubled by the mundane."

Baili An’s gaze was indifferent: "I am mild-tempered, but I am not an easy person to talk to.

You comfortably enjoy the achievements my mother created, yet you forget the rules she established.

Lord Man speaking against it three days ago meant he listened well to my mother’s words. If he can’t be granted the Xu Seal, who else can?"

The crowd before the hall was questioned into silence.

The Crown Prince was evidently serious this time.

Everyone plainly saw this as a show of emotion, unable to bear seeing his own mother being wronged, stepping forward to defend her.

The calm yet fiery demeanor genuinely frightened them, making everyone in the hall dare not speak lightly again.

Fearing they might infuriate this Crown Prince, causing him to unhappily bring the Empress back to her family’s home, they would truly be left with nothing but helplessness.

The assembly was held in a manner that left everyone trembling with fear, doing justice to punishment, rewards, and demotions as necessary.

No occurrence of the envisioned scenario where the Crown Prince monopolized power to stabilize the position of regent.

Yet, everyone’s heart was as clear as a mirror.

The one most satisfied with today’s meeting was King Shen Tu in the Royal Hall.

The brightness of a hundred stars cannot compare to the radiance of the moon.

The opening of ten windows does not compare to the light of one door.

Today, although His Highness’s actions left many court officials feeling uneasy, he successfully won over the heart of the great Lord of the Royal Hall.

The court assembly began like child’s play, yet concluded with a heavy atmosphere.

After this scene, no one dared to hold any grievances against Ying Xiu.

Two hundred years ago, they truly underestimated this unassuming Crown Prince.

There are countless people in the world with unyielding spirit.

On that day, even if his arrogance grew from his bones, never yielding, what of it? With weak strength, such spirit is seen as insignificant in the eyes of these great figures.

His opposition before the National Governance Hall was considered a self-humiliating joke.

But he believes if he can grasp this opportunity given by the Crown Prince.

One day, his words will be greatly valued, and he will no longer be insignificant with a fragile fate!

Who could have guessed that the Crown Prince, seemingly the most gentle and easily manipulated, possesses a nature more inscrutable and uncontrollable than the Emperor’s.

The Empress bears a profound love for Central Netherworld, caring deeply for her people and ministers.

But they could see that the Crown Prince’s affection for Central Netherworld stemmed solely from the Empress.

As for them, the Heroic Spirits, their emotions were more about loving someone by association.

If they were ungrateful, demanding from the Empress, or even betraying her, they believe the bloodbath at the National Governance Hall would surely happen again.

After the assembly, people gradually left the National Governance Hall.

Only the two who had received the Xu Seal remained in the hall.

The young Heroic Spirit, Lord Man, never thought he would become one of the trusted aids of the Crown Prince.

Even standing beside the great Lord of the Royal Hall of Central Netherworld, alone, inside the National Governance Hall.

All of this felt like a dream until he saw the Crown Prince walking forward with a bright lamp.

He was suddenly brought back to reality, shivering slightly as he knelt down in fear and trepidation: "Your Highness... Your Highness’s recognition is the greatest fortune of my life, but my experience is shallow, my cultivation weak, I fear... fear I am not up to such a great task!"

The bright lamp in Baili An’s hand tilted slightly, clearly illuminating Lord Man’s pale face due to excessive nervousness.

He said calmly, "That day before the National Governance Hall, facing Shen Tu King’s murderous intent, you had the courage to voice opposition; now, with the Xu Seal in hand, how can you lose confidence and courage? Can it be that the Xu Seal is more terrifying than facing death?"

Lord Man opened his mouth, filled with shame.

Shen Tu King said, "Some might have strong cultivation, but their bones are soft. The Xu Seal is useless even if given to them. Though your cultivation is weak, your unyielding spirit in the face of the mighty is truly rare.

Experience can be gained through trials, cultivation can be improved, but some things cannot be changed by time.

Since His Highness entrusted the Xu Seal to you, it naturally means no one is more suitable than you. You can doubt your own abilities, but you must not question His Highness’s decision."

Lord Man never imagined that three days ago he was a mere ant under Shen Tu’s feet, now being recognized and praised by the renowned Lord of the Royal Hall.

Lord Man understood that Shen Tu King’s attitude had nothing to do with whether his bones were soft or hard.

Even in the face of death, the once bewildered Lord Man suddenly had an epiphany, understanding the significance of the Xu Seal.

He bowed his head deeply, his eyes no longer evasive and self-deprecating: "I will not betray the trust of His Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tu seemed slightly satisfied, he continued: "His Highness left the two of us alone because he has something to instruct."

Baili An said, "How much does Lord of the Royal Hall know about Ying Xiu’s collusion with the Wandao Immortal Alliance?"

Shen Tu pondered for a moment, not hiding anything, said: "The Six Paths Spirit Root within Ying Xiu was given by the Alliance Hierarch Gu Sansong of the Wandao Immortal Alliance, this scheme was also orchestrated by Gu Sansong.

The Wandao Immortal Alliance has grown rapidly in recent years, their ambition far exceeds the Heavenly Dao Three Sects, and their alliance has many dealings with various countries.

If I’m not mistaken, this time the Wandao Immortal Alliance’s plan is to use Ying Xiu to seize the Thirteen Cities of Central Netherworld, expanding their business in the Underground Dark City.

On the surface, the Wandao Immortal Alliance seems to want to cooperate with our You Dynasty, offering great benefits for the Thirteen Cities.

But once the Underground Dark City, this malignant tumor, is rooted within our Central Netherworld’s borders, the important earth veins and Heroic Spirits of Central Netherworld might be farmed like livestock, used for their secret technique experiments.

Further, they could exploit the connections and resources of Central Netherworld at will, thus becoming the first external force in history to pierce into our Central Netherworld!"
