The civil and military ministers and all the officials continuously arrived.
They respectfully ca to pay their respects to the Red Emperor, and then, almost with tears streaming down their faces, persuaded His Majesty the Red Emperor to consider the great trends of the world for the sake of the future, as the empire is fragnted and the Red Emperor’s lineage no longer holds its forr status.
The great trend of the world, fragnted for three hundred years.
Now it is finally the ti again for the long-separated to reunite.
Your Majesty should conform to the tis and hand over your noble position.
Retire after achievents, to calm the hearts of the people under heaven, to stabilize the realm, wouldn’t you be a sage and wise ruler of one domain?
The civil and military officials, so weeping sorrowfully, others sincerely loyal, pleaded:
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Grand Protector Yan, who taught Ji Zichang calligraphy, was waiting by Ji Zichang’s side today, watching the ministers and officials co and go continuously. From the side door of the palace, he saw that the night was as dark as ink, the lanterns looked like dragons.
These were the red lanterns lit on the carriages of the ministers and officials. At this mont, they seed to show no hint of celebration, appearing like stains of blood wantonly spread, staining the night, like fresh blood coughed up from a human mouth.
The carriages ca and went incessantly. These people, after visiting Ji Zichang, did not return to their residences but instead changed their route upon convenience to pay a visit to Ying Country’s Great Emperor Jiang Wanxiang, with lanterns on both sides resembling dragons and daylight, continuously passing by.
Grand Protector Yan watched this scene, sadness and anger in his eyes.
The high-ranking officials throughout the ages have eaten from the court’s bread.
The country is in great difficulty now, yet they act like this!
Ji Zichang observed this scene and rely said calmly:
"Teacher, there’s no need to be angry..."
Grand Protector Yan turned to look at Ji Zichang, seeing this disciple, this emperor instead composed and calm, but with sadness in his eyes: "Your Majesty..." He wanted to say a lot, to comfort him, to encourage him, but the situation was already so rotten.
Just opening his mouth, saying these two words, he could not continue speaking.
He could only choke with sobs, his face stread with tears, unable to form words.
At this mont, suddenly soone’s voice was heard, the door opened, revealing an elderly man who appeared here with a gentle expression, his white hair well managed, ticulously grood, with martial skills at the peak of the Seven Heavens, his Inner Qi was robust.
He was Ji Yanzhong, from the lineage of the Red Emperor of Central State.
This old man was considered the last face of the Red Emperor’s lineage, but the Grandmaster Realm, during peaceful tis, could still be sothing to talk about. Now in this chaotic world, with the heroes vying, the top ten in the world start from the Eighth Layer Heaven, while the top five are above the Nine Heavens.
The old man’s Grandmaster Realm of the Seven Heavens seed sowhat insufficient now.
"Your Majesty..."
Ji Yanzhong called softly, extracting a box, which contained the item Ji Zichang had sent him to retrieve. Upon opening it, there was a seal, precisely the representative of the Red Emperor’s dynasty, the Great Seal of the Red Emperor.
Ji Zichang reached out his palm, gently brushing over this seal, his expression calm.
He unfurled a scroll, dipped his brush in ink, and began writing with strokes resembling dragons and serpents, wielding it leisurely with imnse grandeur, reaching a level even Grand Protector Yan, who taught him calligraphy, marveled at, where only the alignnt of ntal state and characters could achieve such a Divine Charm.
Ji Zichang took the seal, fully pressed it into the inkpad, and firmly stamped this great seal of the Red Dragon on the Imperial Decree, then rolled the seal of the Red Emperor along with the Imperial Decree together and handed it to Ji Yanzhong.
Abdicating was rely a future he had already foreseen.
However, he still had a second choice.
"The Imperial Decree and this Great Seal, I entrust them to you, Royal Uncle."
"Please leave this place, leave Central State, go to Jiangnan."
"Deliver these two items to my friend—"
"Pharmacist Li."
