Chapter 126 Reward
"Hmph, don't you see that it is possible for a mortal to possess the powers of a human, a demon, and a monster at the same time. Back then, my eldest brother talked about combining the demon race and the human race. Now, not only has he done it, he has also mastered the magic skills. Is there anyone in the world who can compare with our eldest brother?" The King of Ten Thousand Monsters flattered him out as usual.
Ajiu and Qingling could only roll their eyes, while Caiyi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Cangming then understood why the King of Ten Thousand Demons and others would follow the emperor of the mortal world. It turned out that they were the reincarnations of his eldest brother. Then everything made sense.
He suddenly knelt down, burst into tears and shouted, "Seventh Brother, I'm sorry, although my master locked me up and didn't allow me to interfere in your affairs, he didn't seal my meridians, I could have escaped.
But I was also afraid at that time because Qianyuan Zhengdao was involved, and there were three powerful people intervening in secret.
Master said that if I went, Yu Lan Fairy Island would definitely be implicated, unless I left Yu Lan Fairy Island. I hesitated at that time, and by the time I made up my mind, Seventh Brother had already died.
I have been feeling guilty about this for years, and my inner demons have long been growing. I will definitely become a demon after the ninth heavenly tribulation. I was originally planning to dissolve into the world and start over, but my master told me about the Conferred God Platform, so I came here.
Brother Qi, please forgive me. As long as you say so yourself, I will immediately die. I don’t want to carry this guilt with me anymore. I have been tortured by this guilt for so many years.”
Zhou An knew that they had recognized the wrong person. It was obvious that this person had feelings for the Seven Illusion Demon Lord, otherwise he would not have felt so guilty that he developed a demon in his heart. And the way he cried was like a younger brother who had suffered a great injustice outside and was crying in front of his eldest brother.
Ajiu and Heitian saw the hum, but didn't say anything else.
Caiyi said, "Brother, why don't you let Cangming be your minister and let him work for you for life to atone for your sins?"
The Ten Thousand Demon King then said, "Brother, I think Cangming's problem lies with the island owner of Yulan Fairy Island. He is also a congenital great perfection. There must be other hidden reasons behind your brother's death in battle."
Zhou An frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Cangming and said, "The court is short of people right now, Cangming, are you willing to work for me?"
Cangming showed a delighted expression and said quickly: "I will follow your lead, brother. Brother, have you forgiven me?"
Qing Ling and the others had expressions that showed they were just as they thought. This guy and the King of Ten Thousand Demons were a perfect match.
Zhou An smiled and said, "This time, because of your attack, most of our ministers rebelled. If you help me deal with this matter, we can write it off."
"No problem. This is a small matter that I was able to handle when I was an ordinary emperor. Moreover, now that I have reached the ninth level of the innate realm, I can finish it in one month."
Cangming said this with confidence. It is true that he has enough talent in this area, otherwise he would not have been able to develop from a small border country into the Canglong Empire that rivals the Qianyuan Empire.
"Return to the court." Zhou An said, and turned into a stream of purple-gold light and flew away. Everyone else used their escape skills to follow him, leaving behind a scorched earth.
In the Qianyuan court, Shangguan Rong saw that the battle was over and more than three million coalition troops were destroyed in an instant. She stretched out her hand and the treasure flew back, and the phantom in the hall disappeared.
She stood up and said, "My Lords, follow me to greet the Emperor."
The ministers finally reacted and hurriedly followed the queen respectfully, waiting outside the hall, their minds filled with the scene of the confrontation between the two major formations.
They could not see the scene inside the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation, but only saw the devastating scene after the formation appeared. Three million troops disappeared in an instant, making these ministers sweat coldly with fear.
Thinking of those colleagues who used to be in the court, the families behind them were no worse than his own, and many were even stronger than his. Now, all the military forces of the family were gathered, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.
This was a huge shock to them, and they felt deeply how ridiculous the power struggles in the court were in the eyes of the emperor.
I also truly understood why Zhou An never attended court unless there was something very important.
Soon, several streams of light flew in from outside and landed in front of the hall. The queen saluted and said, "Your Majesty."
All the officials immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Welcome to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, and destroy the enemy."
"Get up." Zhou An said, and took the lead to walk into the court and sit on the dragon throne. The queen and Hua Wu Yue sat on both sides of him.
"From now on, Hei Tian, A Jiu, Qing Ling, Cai Yi, Xiao Wu, Bai Yan, Jin Peng, and You Ji will be promoted to the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Generals of the Demon Department, which is equivalent to the rank of general. They will hold the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Cauldron and protect the safety of Qianjing. As for the generals who are not here, you, Demon Commander Si Chen, will be in charge of appointing them."
After Zhou An finished speaking, several demon generals present immediately stepped out to salute.
Hua Wu Yue, Mi Luo, Lao Bai, and Rosa took out the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Cauldron and handed it to the Demon Commander Si Chen, asking him to distribute it.
"Demon Commander, select thirty-three demon generals who have made contributions and promote them to lieutenant generals. They must be demon cultivators who have passed the sixth level of heavenly tribulation." Zhou An continued.
"Yes." The King of Ten Thousand Demons immediately responded in his heart.
"Cangming, follow the left prime minister to deal with the issue of the rebellious families. All the families on the Jinyiwei list will be confiscated and beheaded in public. If there is resistance, they will be executed on the spot. Any sect that dares to hinder will be regarded as treason and will be punished by the Jinyiwei. If the Jinyiwei can't do it, you can notify the demon department to execute it."
"Yes." The King of Ten Thousand Demons, Zhou Lingsha, Zhou Di, and Cangming responded.
"You gentlemen must select talented people to fill the positions of the rebellious officials within seven days. The Queen will supervise them. Anyone who dares to use nepotism will be severely punished."
After Zhou An finished speaking, the queen and the ministers all accepted his orders.
After Zhou An bestowed the award, all cultivators would receive merits from heaven to increase their blessings or offset their previous bad karma.
The demon generals and the Jinyiwei present were all secretly happy, and Cangming was shocked again. The emperor's reward was actually for merit, which was simply unheard of. In his heart, the status of his eldest brother's reincarnation was once again elevated, and little stars appeared in his eyes.
"Zhou Yang." Zhou An called out.
"Your Highness is here." The Third Prince walked out immediately. He was shocked by the experience, but at the same time, his heart was filled with joy and expectations for Qianyuan's future. He also ignited the dream of building the Qianyuan Empire. He wanted to personally lead the Qianyuan Empire to an era that no one in the world could imagine.
"As an envoy of the empire, you are going to Feng Kingdom. Are you sure you can conquer Feng Kingdom?" Zhou An asked.
"I will definitely complete the task." Zhou Yang said loudly.
"Okay, as long as you do it well, I will definitely grant you a marriage with the Queen of Feng Kingdom and announce it to the world." Zhou An said.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty." Zhou Yang was secretly delighted. Being a son-in-law was not as prestigious as marrying the queen. This feeling was completely different. After all, he was the third prince of the Qianyuan Empire. Marrying into the family of a small country would damage the reputation of the royal family.
"My lords, please get ready now. Miro, Lao Bai, Rosa, Lingsha, Si Chen, you stay." Zhou An said, and the ministers in the court left with reassurance.
After they left, Zhou An asked, "Old Bai, in this battle, your cultivation and swordsmanship were good, but you never had a weapon that suited you. I have here the Demon Slaying Sword, one of the Seven Treasures of Heavenly Dao. It is a treasure left by the ancients. As the head of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Seven Treasures of Heavenly Dao can only be left to the Heavenly Dao Sect, so I want you to join the Heavenly Dao Sect and become an elder. Are you willing?"
Bai Lao said without any hesitation: "I am the master's servant god, everything is up to the master's arrangement."
Zhou An nodded, stretched out his hand, a white light flashed on his palm, and the demon-slaying sword appeared and flew into Bai Lao's hand.
Old Bai is a white ape demon. He never expected that the ancient demon-slaying sword would be destined to be with him. Looking at the demon-slaying sword flying into his hands, the sword body emitting white light actually resonated with him, which made him happy.
"Thank you, Master." Old Bai held the sword in his arms. The long sword that was refined by the sacred tree had a long crack on the sword body during the battle with Yufeng because the power was too strong. If it were not for the characteristics of wood, it would have broken long ago.
"Lingsha, you are a disciple of Tiandao Sect. You have performed very well during this period. I will record your merit. Jinyiwei's work is prone to danger. I will give you the Void Wheel to protect you."
Zhou An waved his hand and the Void Wheel flew in front of her.
Zhou Lingsha had long coveted this treasure that could travel through space, and after getting it, she happily shouted, "Thank you, Brother Emperor."
"Zhou Di, Zhou Yang." Zhou An called out.
"I'm here." The two men stepped out and saluted.
"You two also join the Tiandao Sect. The Tiandao Seven Treasures Bright Moon Wheel and the Star Sword will be given to you. From now on, practice the Tiandao secret techniques. In the future, I will give the Fiery Sun Divine Pearl to Zhou Yuan, and the three of you can form a great formation of the sun, moon and stars to protect my Daqian." Zhou An said.
The two were surprised, but the emperor had given the order and they could not refuse even if they didn't want to, so they accepted it and thanked him.
"The Conferred God Platform is a scam by the powerful. They will definitely not give up. We have already been chosen as their target for attack, in order to let more monks die in this war.
In the future, there will definitely be more monks sent down the mountain to deal with us. They call this the Battle of Conferred Gods. I believe that Miro and Bai Lao know about this battle. The reason for the war among all races back then was this Conferred God Platform.
The Jitian Sect Leader is just an important chess piece in their hands. Everyone, please remember not to be fooled by the lies of the Conferred God Platform." Zhou An said.
"Understood." Everyone responded.
Zhou An stood up and said, "Everyone can go back if you have nothing else to do."
