"This..." Commander Xu and the Fat City Lord both looked at the longsword in Yu Kai's hand, covered in dragon-shaped patterns. It emanated a faint imperial aura. Commander Xu's hands trembled as he tried to touch the Human Emperor Sword. However, the sword vibrated slightly, and a powerful force knocked him backward.
He immediately bowed respectfully, his face filled with fear. "Your humble servant, Xu Yiqiao, Commander-in-Chief of the Fentian City Defense Force, pays homage to the Human Emperor's Sword!" He lowered his head, forehead touching the ground, as if he couldn't bear to look directly at this legendary sword.
"Your humble servant Huang Xin, the Lord of Fentian City pays homage to... to the Human Emperor Sword!" Huang Xin's entire body was shaking, cold sweat pouring down, and his voice became intermittent.
The generals and soldiers who had been there before had already collapsed to the ground. The soldiers around them all bowed respectfully, shouting, "Greetings to the Sword of the Human Emperor, greetings to the Special Envoy!"
"He...the sword in his hand is really the Human Emperor Sword! He is really the Human Emperor's special envoy!" The captain who previously concluded that it was the Danxiao Sect's lost holy sword was so scared that he pissed himself and pointed at Yu Kai, trembling.
"Xu Yiqiao, listen to my orders!" Yu Kai shouted loudly, his voice full of unquestionable majesty.
"I am here!" Xu Yi Qiao responded respectfully, his body trembling slightly, but his voice was extremely firm.
"Catch all of them and send them to the imperial capital! At the same time, take the Human Emperor Sword to the Ministry of Justice, release Luo Shunli, and let him take full responsibility for this matter!" Yu Kai handed over the Human Emperor Sword.
"I obey!" Xu Yiqiao spread his hands and respectfully accepted the Human Emperor Sword. This time, the sword didn't vibrate, but was remarkably stable.
He immediately stood up and shouted to the city defense troops, "Capture them all and take them to the imperial capital!"
"Yes!" The soldiers rushed forward and captured everyone.
"Special Envoy, I will arrange accommodation for you right away!" Xu Yi Qiao carefully put the Human Emperor Sword into his arms, stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Don't worry about us, just go and get busy. If you're late and the news leaks out, both you and Luo Shunli may be in danger!" Yu Kai waved his hand, his tone serious and concerned.
"Deputy Commander, please take good care of the two adults. I will leave now and go to Beijing as quickly as possible!" Xu Yi Qiao instructed the deputy commander beside him.
When he and the deputy commander reunited, Yu Kai and Xuan'er had vanished. A voice rang out, "Have Luo Shunli investigate thoroughly. I'll be heading to the Imperial Capital soon!"
"Yes!" Xu Yiqiao accepted the order respectfully. Taking advantage of the night, he rushed towards the imperial capital with the Human Emperor Sword.
…
News of the Human Emperor's special envoy appearing in Burning Heaven City spread instantly, and word of the incident quickly reached the Danxiao Sect as well. On the ninth floor of the Dan Pavilion, the six Grand Elders were alarmed. They sat cross-legged and quickly discussed the matter. Ever since the death of the ancestor Tang Pingcheng at the Iron Blood Pass, the affairs of the Danxiao Sect had been managed by these six individuals, known as the Six Danxiao Elders.
Old Continent Jiuxiao frowned and asked, "Is this your Majesty's intention? Or is it an accident?"
The second oldest, Su Xue, was indignant. "I've told you all along that we should just focus on refining the elixir and not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. And now look what's happened! His Majesty has taken action!"
The third elder, Lin Xiuzhu, frowned. "It's pointless to say this now. The Human Emperor Sword has been revealed. If Luo Shunli wields the Human Emperor Sword, he will definitely retaliate against us. I wonder how many disciples and elders in the court will die!"
The fifth brother, Chu Xuanyang, suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the Ministry of Justice prison to kill him!"
"Then I will go and kill Xu Yi Qiao!" The sixth brother Jiang Wuya said coldly.
The old Dalu Jiuxiao looked at the fourth brother Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Fourth brother, you have the most ideas. Tell us."
The fourth brother, Ye Zhiqiu, remained calm. "Everyone, don't panic. Whether this is His Majesty's intention or Li Dong's, they can't do anything to our Danxiao Sect! We hold the lifeblood of the dynasty in our hands."
"Luo Shunli wants to be killed, but he doesn't want us to do anything. If it's really His Majesty's intention, we can get rid of it completely. He has been hurt so badly by us. If he gets the Human Emperor Sword, we will be in a very passive position."
"Xu Yi Qiao has the Human Emperor Sword. Let alone killing him, I'm afraid we can't stop him. Let's just forget it!" The third brother Lin Xiuzhu said helplessly.
"But this special envoy of the Human Emperor must die. We must find a way to find him. Anyone who dares to touch my Danxiao Sect must pay the price! Let the world know that even His Majesty's men cannot act rashly against us!" Old Continent Jiuxiao gritted his teeth.
"Okay! I'll make arrangements right away and let the people from the Dark Pavilion take action!" Old Dalu Jiuxiao immediately stood up.
"Notify our people at the border to be prepared. If things get out of control, we will fight back!" The fourth brother Ye Zhiqiu continued.
"Isn't this appropriate?" said the second sister Su Xue in a deep voice.
"If your life is in danger, what's the harm in surrendering to the Three Emperors? Now the ancient descendants don't know about the vast fairyland. When they find out, there will be no Shengying Dynasty!" The fourth brother Ye Zhiqiu continued.
The others remained silent, their faces serious.
"Things haven't come to that point yet. I'm just leaving a way out. I'm afraid that if His Majesty gets rid of the people in the court, he won't let us go!" The fourth brother Ye Zhiqiu spoke again, "After all, we have stolen many spiritual veins that are strictly prohibited by the court over the years. Otherwise, how could we have reached the peak of the Heavenly Venerable realm so quickly!"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
"Don't worry too much, everyone. After all, without our supply of elixirs, the imperial court would not be able to develop so quickly! Without high-level alchemy masters like us, the Danxiao Sect would be in name only!" The fourth brother Ye Zhiqiu comforted.
After hearing what the fourth brother said, everyone felt relieved and left to make arrangements.
…
At the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Imperial Capital, Li Dong also summoned the five War Kings. They had all been recovering from their injuries in the Imperial Capital over the past few years, and their injuries were now much better. After all, the Imperial Capital was a gathering place for dragon veins, and its spiritual energy was richer than anywhere else.
The Iron-Blooded War King spoke first: "Old Li, did you arrange for the Human Emperor's special envoy?"
Li Dong waved his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"His Majesty has come out of retreat? Has his injuries recovered?" Qingfeng Zhan Wang stood up directly, his tone full of surprise.
"I went to Luoyao Mountain Range, and both His Majesty and the Demon Emperor were not there! The Human Emperor's special envoy must be His Majesty!" Li Dong stroked his beard and smiled slightly.
"I never thought that my eldest brother, at the cost of his own death, actually created the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor!" The Netherworld War King sighed.
"The people of Danxiao Sect have been really arrogant these years. I wanted to wipe them out. But now they have run into Your Majesty's hands. They deserve to die!" The Iron-Blooded War King was indignant.
"The Danxiao Sect is not easy to take down, otherwise I would have done it long ago. Let's see how His Majesty handles it this time! You arrange people to protect Luo Shunli. Since His Majesty has asked him to investigate, let him make trouble! You also have to go back and guard the border in person to prevent the three emperors from taking advantage of the situation. It's time to clean up the Shengying Dynasty!" Li Dong looked into the distance and spoke lightly.
The War Kings all knew that this time, blood would flow like a river. They bowed to Li Dong and walked out.
