Tianwu City, Imperial Palace.
The emperor sat lazily on the dragon throne, quietly looking at the small piece of paper in his hand.
"Tang Zhentian?"
"This guy is really surprising."
Gently crushing the paper in his hand into powder, the emperor's face curled up with an amused arc.
"Go down!"
The Emperor waved to the kneeling Jinyiwei spy and turned his attention to the screen beside him.
"There's news from Sikong Xun."
A familiar voice sounded, and Emperor Jiu, dressed in black brocade clothes, slowly walked out from behind the screen.
"It seems that Emperor Shitian is still a little worried about Sikong Xun."
Hearing Emperor Jiu's voice, the Emperor smiled slightly.
It is obvious that this was a test by Emperor Shitian on Sikong Xun.
"What's so strange about this? He doesn't even fully trust his own son, so how could he possibly trust Sikong Xun?"
Pulling over a chair nearby, Di Jiu sat down without hesitation.
"oh?"
"What do you mean?"
As soon as Emperor Jiu's words came out, the Emperor instantly became interested.
"You've taken his entire family under your wing. How could he possibly believe that you didn't touch his son?"
"The killing plot he set up against you might also be intended to help his son eliminate the hidden danger."
After taking a look at the excited Emperor, Emperor Jiu glanced upwards and said unhappily.
To be honest, not only Indra had this doubt, but even he also doubted whether Di Yi had practiced the Emperor's Sacred Heart Sutra.
"The Sacred Heart Technique is not invincible. The more people I control, the greater the backlash I will have to endure."
"With my current cultivation level, I can only control 6,000 people at most."
"Therefore, apart from the more than 5,000 people in the Shenji Camp and some chess pieces with special functions, no one else has practiced my secret techniques."
As if knowing what Emperor Jiu was thinking, the Emperor shook his head gently at him, denying his guess.
"Besides being limited to the number of people you control, your method of controlling people's hearts also has the potential for backlash?"
When Emperor Jiu heard the Emperor say that the Sacred Heart Art had limitations, he immediately thought of his Sacred Soul Art.
"Of course there are restrictions. If there were no restrictions, I would just spread the Sacred Heart Sutra's sub-practices throughout the Tianwu Continent as a basic practice."
Glancing at Emperor Jiu, who seemed to be thinking about something, the Emperor silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
If the Sacred Heart Sutra had no restrictions, how could the old guy have allowed himself to rule the Tianwu Dynasty for fifty years.
"By the way, you haven't told me when they plan to assassinate me."
Glancing at Emperor Jiu who was still thinking about something, the Emperor suddenly remembered that he had not yet asked about the specific time of the assassination.
"Three months later, on the night of the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival."
Hearing the Emperor's question, Emperor Jiu finally raised his head slowly and put aside his thoughts about the Holy Soul Art.
"Flower Festival?"
"These guys really know how to pick a good day."
Shaking his head gently, the Emperor picked up the pen on the table and began to write.
“Snap!”
As the emperor pressed down hard with his hand, a large seal suddenly appeared on the imperial edict.
"I don't know what you're thinking. Although the overall strength of the Zhenwu Army is good, for people of our realm, they are completely dispensable."
"There are only a million warriors in the Xiantian realm. As long as they don't escape, I can kill them all within a day."
He casually threw the imperial edict with the seal in his hand to Emperor Jiu, who leaned back on the dragon throne with his hands resting his head, looking a little domineering.
"Although the Zhenwu Army is not strong now, it does not mean that they will not be strong in the future."
Reaching out to take the imperial edict thrown by the Emperor, Emperor Jiu carefully put it into the storage ring.
"Whether they will become powerful in the future, I don't know. I only know that they consume hundreds of millions of spirit stones from me every year."
Speaking of spirit stones, the corners of the emperor's mouth twitched.
Although the Tianwu Dynasty has relatively abundant cultivation resources, hundreds of millions of spirit stones are not a small number.
The most important thing is that this is just the normal consumption of the Zhenwu army in one year.
You must know that in addition to the Zhenwu Army, the Tianwu Dynasty also has other armies stationed in major cities.
In addition, he also had to maintain the Jinyiwei, Liushenmen, Dongchang and Shenjinying.
"It's only more than 10,000 spirit crystals a year. I can still afford it."
Emperor Jiu was not surprised to hear that the Zhenwu Army consumed hundreds of millions of spirit stones every year.
More than 100 million spirit stones a year does sound like a lot, but if it is distributed to a million-strong army, the average person would only get about 100 spirit stones per year.
"More than 10,000 spirit crystals a year? That's all?"
"Tell me the truth, what role do you play in the underworld?"
"No matter how I look at it, I don't think you're just a Yinlu deacon in the underworld."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked Di Jiu up and down. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He stood up from the dragon throne abruptly and stared at Di Jiu with incredible eyes.
"Underworld, Secret Realm, Sunset City, Sikong Nan, Fu Taosheng!"
"You have obtained the inheritance of the underworld from the very beginning?!!"
As words continued to pop out of the emperor's mouth, his mind suddenly became like the peaks of the mountains, undulating.
"Were they finally discovered?"
Looking at the Emperor's incredible eyes, Emperor Jiu immediately curled his lips.
Emperor Jiu had never thought that he could hide the fact that he had obtained the inheritance of the underworld from the Emperor.
