Chapter 1166: Chapter 715: Incompetent Ruler! Tyrant!

"..."

Seeing Shen Yi hesitated for a long time without making a salute, Feng Xi gently nudged him with a shoulder.

No matter how different the image of the Human Emperor was from what he imagined, he was indeed the ruler of Shen Zhou, the supreme being who co-governed the Human World with the Immortal Court.

"If you don’t want to, then forget it, you’re not that lucky."

The man soaking in the pool didn’t insist, casually scooping some wine into his mouth, smacking his lips, and mumbling unclearly, "Good wine... good wine..."

After he finished savoring it, he finally waved his hand.

From the dense forest beside the pool, an elderly man, dressed as a court official with a serious expression, stepped out quickly, walked up to the Human Emperor, and took a Jade Token from his sleeve, handing it over.

The man accepted it, too lazy to even take a glance, and threw it directly to the distant Shen Yi.

"Perhaps it’s not quite the promotion you imagined?" He smiled with his back to everyone.

"Indeed, it’s not quite the same."

Shen Yi looked at the Jade Token in his hand, and apart from the material, its shape was no different from the Demon Slayer Iron Token.

The reverse side was similarly engraved with the Nanyang Floating Pattern, representing identity.

Obviously, this was the token of the General of Southern Defense.

From a Titled General, he suddenly became the Commander of the entire Great Nan Continent’s Demon Slayer Bureau, yet Shen Yi felt little joy in his heart.

"It seems somewhat hasty."

The man lazed even more, resting his neck on the edge of the pool: "But it doesn’t matter, after all, this is not a gift, but a tool."

As soon as he spoke, many of the generals of the Demon Slayer Bureau were puzzled.

But it didn’t take long for their expressions to slightly change, and they quickly took out their respective tokens.

In the emerald translucent Jade Tokens, a hint of yellow light suddenly emerged, like ink staining rice paper, soon turning the entire token into the appearance of yellow jade.

The change did not stop there.

Shen Yi held the Yellow Jade Token, and on the front of the token was a character slashed by a blade mark, symbolizing demon slaying.

At this moment, the blade mark slowly faded, and the character, like a sprouting young bud, began to gradually heal.

What fell into everyone’s eyes, however, was not the imagined "demon."

Instead, it was a mysterious "immortal" character.

These people were the Generals of State, considered the most senior in the Demon Slayer Bureau, with a much deeper understanding of this government office than others.

But at this moment, as they stared at the tokens, their pupils slightly constricted.

The blade mark from the beginning was slashing not the demon, but immortal, which meant, from the inception of the Demon Slayer Bureau, the assumed enemy was never demons.

That explains why the Divine Dynasty ended up in today’s situation, not without reason.

After all, who could have thought, the Human Emperor, who already ruled the Divine Land, would also harbor thoughts of rebellion.

The opponent he wished to overturn was the grand Immortal Court behind the sky curtain!

In other words, it was the Human Emperor who first broke the agreement of co-governing the Human World with the Immortal Court... And this action had begun long ago with the establishment of the Creation Immortal Department.

No wonder the attitude of the Immortal Court was so ambiguous, even those Earth Spirits who had overseen Shen Zhou for endless ages, ceased to assist the major Prefecture Cities.

"Hoo."

Shen Yi felt the familiar yet altogether different force coming from the Jade Token, momentarily falling silent.

This thing was none other than an Immortal Seal.

A Third Grade Immortal Seal, yet it maneuvered not immortal power, but Human Emperor Qi.

"Please, gentlemen, wield this formidable tool, and with this Emperor, suppress this group of Evil Immortals!"

From an unseen angle, a few hints of violence surfaced on the face of the man with drunken eyes, entirely lacking the neutral and majestic awe of an emperor; against the backdrop of the raucous liquor, he appeared more like a gambler, mad with frenzy.

Erect the Creation Immortal Department, establish the Demon Slayer Bureau, had long prepared this similar to an Immortal Seal item.

The intent of this Human Emperor to overhaul the heavens was completely exposed at this moment, without any further pretense.

Yet, countless Generals of State hesitantly stood there.

Even in the direst situations, they harbored a sliver of hope in their hearts, that this scenario was all due to a misunderstanding between the Immortal Court and the Divine Dynasty.

If they could hold out, wait until one side was willing to bow down and compromise, the misunderstanding cleared, everything would return to its original form.

But now, the Human Emperor blatantly declared these treasonous words.

No misunderstanding! What remains is only a fight to the death!

"..."

Among the crowd, Shen Yi casually pocketed the Jade Token.

At this moment, surrounded by foes on all sides, any useful means must be set aside first, for you never know when it might save a life.

The others looked over with strange expressions.

Even Feng Xi was somewhat helpless.

Once someone set an example, the rest, even with worries in their hearts, struggled to say anything more, all bowing their hands in salute, clenched the Jade Token tightly in their palms.

Splish.

The man, just moments ago full of murderous aura, suddenly soaked back into the pool, sipping wine into his mouth, then let out a long belch: "Burp—"

As if nothing had happened just moments ago.

"His Majesty is weary, please gentlemen, take your leave."

The man dressed as a court official walked slowly over, making a gesture to see them off.

"We take our leave."

Seeing that the situation was settled, many Generals of State said no more, their intention in coming to the Imperial City was to appeal for aid from all the continents in crisis.

Now, holding a Third Grade Token similar to an Immortal Seal, the situation temporarily eased, and this token’s change likely wasn’t exclusive to the Generals of State, if the Demon Slayer Bureau from top to bottom, all officials held orders transformed into this type of "Immortal Seal."
