Chapter 1918: Chapter 1937: Killing to Offer Sacrifice to Heaven
Yusuf Zuck had no way to deal with the dead demoness, after all, who made her a prince of equal standing by his own decree? So he couldn’t be bothered to argue with her any longer and instead shouted, “Everyone, rise! No need to kneel!”
The people in the hall were still kneeling, listening to the two bicker!
“Your Majesty, this old minister has sothing to say, though I’m unsure if I should!” As the officials rose, Parker Berger clasped his hands directly.
“What’s there to be unsure about? Hurry up and speak!” Yusuf commanded.
Parker thought for a mont, “Our Longevity Empire has already been established, but the harem has always been without a host. This minister observes that Lady Ning, the prince of equal standing, is remarkably refined and exceptionally wise, possessing the deanor of an empress. Why doesn’t Your Majesty consider joining with Lady Ning…”
“Stop, stop right there!” Yusuf’s eyes nearly popped out when he heard this. Others didn’t know the relationship between him and the dead demoness, and he had never explained why he made her a prince of equal standing.
So these officials misunderstood, seeing the dead demoness flirting and bantering with him and then wanting to match them together!
“Ah, Chancellor Zhou, I love you so much, yes, yes, yes, I could be the master of the harem, this is feasible!” The dead demoness, who revels in chaos, started clapping her hands and jumped up!
And just as she jumped, Yusuf kicked her hard, his foot landing on her buttocks, sending her sprawling into the center of the great hall, almost making her perform a “dog eating dirt” fall!
“If anyone dares ntion this again or joke about it, don’t bla for being unkind. And none of you are to ntion this again, Miguel Crane can only be my sister, not my Dao companion, and you don’t understand why. Also, dead… Miguel Crane, rember, this is the last ti. If you act out again, I’ll skin you alive!”
“Holy crap, what’s the big deal, blowing up like that? I was just trying to liven things up…” The dead demoness realized Yusuf was serious and very angry, causing her voice to trail off, and she no longer dared to approach him, standing in the hall like everyone else!
“Fine, how about I get you a chair? You’ll be the only one allowed to sit in front of the hall, alright?” Yusuf was also helpless with her, having to offer a sweet deal after the kick, as she was helping him selflessly, which was an enormous favor!
Imdiately, a guard brought over a chair to the front of all the ministers, and the dead demoness unceremoniously sat down.
“Alright, now there are a few matters I want to ask you about. First, I heard that our Sky River, Blue Mountain, and Black Wind regions have all been occupied? Who did it?”
Parker imdiately stepped forward, “To reply, Your Majesty, strictly speaking, they haven’t been occupied. It’s just that soone claims these three regions belong to them, but in reality, the regions are still under our control!”
“Who claims this? And where is the person?” Yusuf asked curiously.
“It’s Truet Petty, who has just achieved immortality. He’s not affiliated with any power or sect, just a lone wanderer, so although he claims the three regions belong to him, he can’t accomplish anything on his own!”
“Truet Petty? Is he human, demon, or so other spirit?” Yusuf asked.
“He’s human!”
“Oh!” Yusuf nodded, “So there are humans who have achieved immortality now too!”
“Indeed, many humans are continually erging in the realm of immortality!”
“So where is he?” Yusuf asked again.
“He should be in one of the cities in the three regions, but the exact location hasn’t been found yet.”
“Then find him for , I want to make an example of him!”
“Yes!” Parker nodded.
“Alright, let’s continue. I’ve also heard of soone ordering that our Longevity Empire is not to cross the Wei River? Or else what? Prince Ning, you know about this?” Yusuf looked at the dead demoness who was picking her nails.
“Yes, it’s the Immortal Alliance!” The dead demoness sneered, “It should be six or seven people who just stepped into the realm of immortality, and these six or seven people should have backing forces.”
“What’s the specific situation? Why aren’t we allowed to cross the Wei River?”
“What specific situation?” The dead demoness rolled her eyes, “They’re just showing off after becoming immortal, telling us that crossing the Wei River ans death, daring us to try it? They treat us like chickens, viewing us as soft persimmons to squeeze, and letting the world see how powerful their Immortal Alliance is!”
“I didn’t really care, but for the sake of your ministers and citizens, I stopped for now, wanting to see if those bastards would co!”
“They have no specific purpose? Just to oppress us?” Yusuf raised his eyebrows.
“Perhaps there will be later, but now it looks like they’re just trying to suppress our Longevity Empire, to let everyone know how powerful their Immortal Alliance is!”
“Hmm, is there anything else?” Yusuf looked at Parker.
“There is the matter of the Four Wastelands’ demonic plague, which seems to be organized. Additionally, various places have people declaring themselves kings, including city lords and force leaders, all claiming they want to seize fortune and luck!”
“In short, the Transit Realm is in utter chaos, and our plan to unify it may have to be postponed, as we cannot wage war on all fronts and in all directions!”
“Oh, and there’s one more thing.” Parker suddenly rembered sothing else and reported, “Diego Jacobs of the Cloud River Area achieved immortality alongside his dear friend Gracie Sweeney. It’s said that these two are uniting forces everywhere in Transient City, also recruiting armies, ready for a decisive battle against us!”
“Diego Jacobs? The Diego Jacobs who doesn’t care about his wife and children?” Yusuf sneered, “Alright, I’m burning with anger as it is, pass down the order, tomorrow at noon the army will cross the Wei River, and before crossing, there will be a sacrifice to heaven, using the Jacobs Clan as the offering!”
“What?”
“This…”
When everyone heard Yusuf wanted to use the Jacobs Clan as a sacrificial offering, all the ministers’ faces changed, and Parker took a step forward, shaking his head, “Your Majesty, this kind of sacrifice is against the Heavenly Dao and does not benefit our Empire, as the world will see us as bloodthirsty and coldhearted, making fewer willing to join us!”
“Hehe.” Yusuf smiled and looked at Parker, “Are you the king, or am I the king?”
“Uh?” Parker was taken aback but quickly replied, “I am rely a minister, faithfully serving His Majesty!”
“Then that’s that, as king, you follow my orders. I tell you, the potential consequences you can think of, I have also considered, but I don’t need anyone to rely on us, nor do I fear defying the Heavenly Dao. Haven’t you heard, which king or emperor doesn’t laugh arrogantly over the bones beneath their feet?”
“If we don’t kill, others won’t fear us; if we don’t kill, they’ll always see our Longevity Empire as easy prey!”
“Of course, also spread the news about crossing the river at noon tomorrow and the killings. I want to see if Diego Jacobs dares co, and also if this so-called Immortal Alliance dares to show up?”
“If we don’t kill, they won’t know that I am the old devil Yusuf!”
