Chapter 348: Imperial Court Meeting (3)

“Insolence!!” Yu Qian and Yang Jiye barked back at the same time. The polearm hanging behind Yang Jiye’s back trembled slightly, and instantaneously appeared in his hands.

Liu Yu truly lives up to his name. I nearly had him. Unfortunately, he’s snapped back to his senses in the nick of time.

You want to fight?

Gao Changgong and Chaghan practically spoke at the same time, “You three, Lord of Hanyang isn’t wrong. You’re all established heroes in the eyes of the mortal realm. How could you be blinded by what you’ve just seen? Think about it. Hell has already lost control of the East Continent. Something like that could remain concealed for fifty years, but we’re talking about a hundred long years of complete inaction! Why did you think Izanami went to war in the Strait of Tsushima? If the old Hell were still around, do you think she’d even dare to step a single foot outside of her abode?!”

This imperial court meeting had already begun to see the convergence of many interests and the manifestation of ambitious hearts. The balance of the situation was incredibly delicate and treacherous, tilting from side to side at the moment’s notice. Not only did each faction have to react with great speed and adaptability, they also had to possess… sufficient leverage to tilt the balance in their favour.

This shouting match between a king and his high officials bore some measure of semblance to the uprising led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Neither of them knew back then that their initial revolt would eventually spearhead the series of rebellions that eventually caused the downfall of the second Qin Emperor.

Nobody knows what the future holds!

This was his leverage! This was his bottom line!

Chang Yuchun, Guo Ziyi and Han Qinhu grew taciturn once again.

But, right at this moment, Qin Ye suddenly spoke up, “I give you my word.”

“Lord Qin, the words of King Yanluo shall be taken as the law!” Liu Yu’s eyes glistened brightly.

“Yes.” Arthis bowed slightly and turned to the twelve envoys, “We’ll be rendering a report on the development of Hell in the afternoon. Each of you will be given a copy of the detailed report for your reference. As for tonight…”

“I sincerely hope that everyone… can let your hair down tonight…”

“Why?” Arthis asked as soon as they sat down, “The situation was already leaning in our favour, so why did you give your word for the four feudal officials in Lord of Hanyang’s faction to break away from us?”

“Do you really think that the forces arrayed outside of Hell right now are merely for show?!” Seconds later, he gritted his teeth and glared at Arthis, “Didn’t you sense their will for war earlier? Are you aware that when Han Qinhu and the others were hesitating, they practically bore down on me with an overbearing wave of palpable murderous intent?!”

He paused for a moment to take a deep breath, “This imperial court meeting might very well spell the commencement of a great war on the East Continent.”

“I can accept them trampling on my face for now, but… I’ll at least have to take some benefits in exchange.”

Zhou Gongjin sat in the lounge, tapping gently on the gold-lacquered teacup in his hand as a dark wisp of Yin energy drifted out from the tea. He held a document in his other hand and stared intently at its contents. If one looked closely enough, it would be apparent that his fingertips were pinching at this sheet of paper so tightly that they had already turned pale and white.

That said… he couldn’t justify any feeling of contempt for how the new Hell looks right now.

“What’s this supposed to be?” Wang Meng finally asked after a long period of silence, “These words are completely foreign to us. Zhou Gongjin, you’re the only one among us twelve envoys who’s straddling both the mortal realm as well as the underworld. Do you… understand what’s stated over here?”

After a long time, Zhou Yu sighed wistfully and gazed out of the window and into the distance. He slowly set down the itinerary on the table.

“6.10 p.m. Opening Ceremony. Music accompaniment: Battle Without Honor or Humanity.”

If you guys insist on attending the event, then… be my guest, and have a good taste of what modern strokes taste like. I sincerely believe that you’ll personally want to immerse yourself in the brand new world in the mortal realm after this stumbling experience tonight. That’s all I have to say. Lu Liu, show our guests out.”
