Oh, it's an imperial edict. I thought it was something else entirely.
Junlin curled his lip, "It's not interesting."
But just as he turned to leave, he turned back to look at the imperial edict.
What would happen if he took this thing off?
Would recklessly declaring an imperial edict result in the execution of nine generations of one's family?
Junlin pondered to himself, "What if he were a little tougher then and said something like, 'What if you exterminate my entire clan?'"
Will it implicate Master and Senior Sister?
Or, what if that were to happen, would it lead to a fight between the Wuyang Sect and the Qingluan Emperor?
One is one of the two great empires in the Eastern Region.
One is the strongest martial arts sect in the Eastern Region.
If a fight breaks out, it will definitely be a huge spectacle!
However, upon closer reflection, Wuyang Sect is, after all, his own little haven, and it's not really suitable for doing this kind of thing.
if you can.
It would be best to let the Heavenly River Sect confront the Azure Phoenix Empire.
"Speaking of which, this imperial edict has been here for almost three months now, why hasn't anyone taken it down yet?"
Some people in the crowd were curious, and soon someone explained it to them.
"What a joke! Who would dare to reveal this at this time? You know, the new emperor has only been on the throne for a short time."
"Isn't this perfect opportunity? We might be able to gain the new emperor's favor by taking advantage of this chance."
"Laughable. Risking your life? There are plenty of people who are dissatisfied with the new emperor. If you don't have the strength, you shouldn't be looking for death."
"You can't say things like that carelessly, or you'll lose your head."
"I think I've already put it very tactfully."
"I think you're already good enough to lose your head. Maybe tomorrow you'll be stabbed multiple times at home and ultimately judged to have committed suicide."
"Oh... this can't be that bad, can it?"
The crowd was in an uproar, discussing the imperial edict before them, but no one dared to tear it down.
Junlin squeezed in and glanced at the contents of the imperial edict.
Okay, there's nothing there.
There are only two words.
Seeking talented individuals!
In short, everyone understood what the new emperor wanted, but they also knew that they didn't have the ability to be the virtuous ruler!
The Azure Phoenix Empire is in chaos right now.
In the imperial court, there was both open and covert struggle.
Below the imperial court, it's hard to dodge open attacks or defend against hidden arrows.
It's no joke that someone who died from multiple sword wounds was ruled a suicide.
Who knows, someday.
New emperors often overwork themselves and die from illness.
Junlin listened to the discussions around him, and what had initially held little interest suddenly became interesting.
This is damn interesting.
He's never been an official in his life, never experienced what it's like to attend court, and has never even seen what the emperor looks like.
And I've heard from these people that the court is in chaos right now?
This imperial edict was practically tailor-made for him!
Without further deliberation, Junlin tore down the imperial edict in front of everyone!
Suddenly, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone retreated several meters away as if to avoid suspicion, leaving only Jun Lin, who held the imperial edict in his hand, standing in place.
"Hey guys, what do you mean by this? Believe me or not, I'll acknowledge you as my brothers right now, and then I'll get the emperor to exterminate my entire clan, including you all!" Junlin said, pointing at the crowd.
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Is this even possible?
But then they were immediately alarmed; they didn't want to have anything to do with this man who was destined to die.
Immediately, everyone scattered and went home to find their mothers.
Junlin curled his lip, "What kind of martial artist is someone with such a cowardly heart?"
However, on the other hand...
What should be done next after the imperial edict is published?
Junlin not only doesn't understand court politics, but he's also completely ignorant of the laws of the Qingluan Empire.
But that doesn’t stop him from having fun, does it?
Just as Junlin was considering whether he should go directly to the palace and tell the emperor that he was the one who had answered the imperial edict.
A middle-aged man with a stern face walked over with a group of soldiers.
Upon seeing Junlin, he coldly asked, "Was it you who took down the imperial edict?"
Junlin glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, then at the middle-aged man in front of him who had an extremely poor attitude and was asking questions he already knew the answer to.
He retorted directly, "Are you blind? Or are you pretending not to know? Didn't you see the imperial edict in my hand?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "You little brat, you've got some nerve. Since you've taken up the imperial edict, then come with me."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned and left.
Junlin didn't hesitate at all and followed immediately.
He was eventually taken to a tavern, where the middle-aged man thoughtfully arranged a room for him and assigned soldiers to protect him.
Before leaving.
The middle-aged man reminded him, "Tomorrow, I will come here to take you to court. Be prepared."
Junlin nodded and went straight back to his room, ignoring everything else.
Are you mentally prepared?
What a joke! He'll go to court tomorrow for a bit of fun, and he might run away the day after. What's there to prepare for?
...
next day
As dawn broke, the middle-aged man led Junlin to the palace.
"Be careful later, don't offend too many people," the middle-aged man said, glancing at Junlin.
Junlin raised an eyebrow. What's up with this guy? Cold on the outside but kind on the inside?
The middle-aged man didn't care whether Junlin replied or not.
Instead, he looked towards the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, the person who accepted the challenge has been brought here!"
"Announce!"
A voice immediately came from inside the hall, sounding both excited and expectant.
Junlin was slightly taken aback. Why did that voice sound like a woman's?
After being pulled into the hall...
