Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 48

Ch 48: Deterring Qian Capital

The Demon Suppression Agency is now in chaos. Zhu Zihai was captured by Hua Wuyue, and there is no leader here. The Emperor’s execution of five hundred cultivators has already made the Demon Suppression Agency panic.

They used to do too many things that violated the national law, insulting and mocking the Emperor, which were all minor matters. Now they are all worried about the Emperor pursuing them, and it is feared that most of the Demon Suppression Agency will be executed.

The officials of various departments are already flustered and have no intention of working. Most of them are gathered in the Great Hall talking about their worries, using this to vent their inner panic.

The entire Great Hall is noisier than a vegetable market. At this time, hundreds of figures flew down from outside. Zhou An walked in wearing the Great Ancestor Mask, followed closely by the Ten Thousand Demons King and Hua Wuyue.

Now there are no guards at the gate of the Demon Suppression Agency, and this group of people walked in directly.

As soon as they entered the Demon Suppression Agency, the system prompted a check-in to obtain the Demon Suppression Tower. This is a check-in of the internal environment of the Demon Suppression Agency, and opening the map of the entire Qian Capital only requires reaching the location, without entering it, so what you get are ordinary items.

The demon hunters at the door saw the Great Ancestor Emperor arriving in person, and their hearts tightened. They were so nervous that they were sweating.

But the next glance at the Ten Thousand Demons King, and a large group of Greater Demons behind him, scared these people out of their wits.

Some clever ones quickly knelt down and shouted: “Greetings, Great Ancestor Emperor.”

The people who were talking behind them all turned to look at the door, and were all stunned at once.

The entire Great Hall suddenly became quiet, and then they all knelt down to salute. If it were in the past, let alone kneeling, it is estimated that most of the people would not pay much attention to the Emperor.

Zhou An scanned these people, and after seeing that they had all knelt down, he said: “From today onwards, the Ten Thousand Demons King will serve as the Demon Suppression Chief.”

Hearing this, many people raised their heads in shock, with unbelievable expressions on their faces.

The Ten Thousand Demons King stepped forward and chuckled: “Little ones, no need for self-introduction, right? Zhu Zihai is just a servant of mine. Is there anyone who has any objections to me being your Commander?”

The people who had just raised their heads immediately lowered them, and at the same time they were shocked. This Great Ancestor Emperor is too terrifying. Hua Wuyue appeared, and now there is an even more terrifying Ten Thousand Demons King. Who else will dare to move the Qianyuan Empire in the future?

If the Ten Thousand Demons King leads the demons of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest to fight, what country can resist? Unless the Immortal Cultivators in each country’s own territory participate in the war.

Such a large-scale battle of Immortal Cultivators, the power that erupts is enough to change the climate and bring about natural disasters.

There has always been an unwritten rule that Immortal Cultivators cannot participate in wars between countries, otherwise they will be spurned by Immortal Cultivators all over the world. Everyone is also thinking about the safety of their living environment.

Moreover, who can bear the responsibility for causing natural disasters and killing millions of people because of their own wars? Do you still want to undergo Heavenly Tribulation?

At this time, a man stood up and shouted: “I have an objection.”

Everyone was surprised, and looked at this person with an expression as if looking at an idiot. People who knew him sighed, with an expression that said, “As expected.”

The Ten Thousand Demons King chuckled, and black smoke appeared on his hand. This demon hunter quickly took out two talismans from his waist pocket and threw them out, then quickly formed a hand seal. The talismans danced in front of him, forming a square barrier.

Zhou An stopped the Ten Thousand Demons King and asked with interest: “What’s your name? What are your opinions? How dare you disobey the Imperial Decree?”

“I dare not. My name is Tianzong. It’s just that the Demon Suppression Agency captures demons who are harming the human world. The Ten Thousand Demons King himself is a Demon King. How can he convince the people of the world?” Tianzong said neither humble nor arrogant, but he was also nervous in his heart.

“The Demon Suppression Agency’s duty is to capture demons who do not follow the rules, not to convince the people of the world. That is the job of the Imperial Court,” Zhou An said.

Tianzong was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: “This is not in accordance with the rules. The Demon Suppression Agency is all humans. How can demons be allowed to join, let alone manage it?”

“This Emperor’s words are the rules. This Emperor will not force anyone. Anyone who disagrees can hand over their identity token and leave the Demon Suppression Agency. Of course, the crimes you committed in the past can be forgiven, but if anyone commits them again in the future, the crime will be increased by one degree,”

Zhou An said loudly, walked up to Tianzong and said, “Do you have any more objections?”

Tianzong untied the token hanging on his waist, threw it on the ground, and strode away.

The Greater Demons behind the Ten Thousand Demons King revealed their killing intent and blocked Tianzong’s path, wanting to attack.

“Let him go. The same goes for the others. Remember one thing, today is the only chance. Those who stay, if you dare to gossip behind my back again, I will never let you off lightly,” Zhou An shouted.

Tianzong glanced at him and strode away. At this time, someone else stood up, dropped their identity token, and followed him away.

After a while, nearly half of the people here chose to leave.

Zhou An said: “Ten Thousand Demons King, I’ll leave the rest to you. You have the final say on everything in the Demon Suppression Agency. This treasure will be handed over to you for management, and will be the exclusive Spiritual Treasure of the Demon Suppression Agency from now on.”

The Ten Thousand Demons King took a pagoda-shaped treasure. After sensing it with his Primordial Spirit, he nodded in amazement and said, “Good treasure. This thing is simply the nemesis of the Demon Race.”

“This Demon Suppression Tower will be used to imprison the criminal demons in the Demon Suppression Agency from now on,” Zhou An said.

“Okay.” The Ten Thousand Demons King scanned the demon hunters and said, “From now on, everything here will be based on merit. Whoever has the highest merit will be the leader, whether human or demon, will be treated equally.

Also, I’m not in a good mood. Anyone who dares to violate my rules will be taken directly to refine pills and rewarded to those who have made meritorious service. Do you understand?”

“Understood.” All the demon hunters answered loudly.

Zhou An nodded. It was too simple for the Ten Thousand Demons King to deter this place. Just the name of the Ten Thousand Demons King was enough to shut everyone up.

He bid farewell to the Ten Thousand Demons King, asked him to arrange the personnel, and agreed to drink together in the evening.

Back at the Imperial Palace, Zhou An and the Empress and Hua Wuyue hosted the Ten Thousand Demons King and his disciples in Changle Palace.

A group of Demon Kings scared the Empress again. Although she is not an Immortal Cultivator, she has heard of the name of the Ten Thousand Demons King.

A series of personnel changes in the Imperial Palace completely suppressed the Empress’s ambitions. In this situation, how could she have any other ideas? She would be thankful if she could protect the Empress’s position.

In order to prove her value and keep her position, she can only work harder to manage the country well and let the Great Ancestor Emperor have no worries, so that her position can be stable.

Zhou An had already seen through the Empress’s little thoughts, but he didn’t expose them. Shangguan Rong is smart and can clearly position herself, knowing what to do is most beneficial to her.

The news that the Ten Thousand Demons King was appointed as the Demon Suppression Chief shocked the world again, but even if there were more people discussing it this time, no one dared to openly object.

The cultivators in Qian Capital could only sigh in shock when they heard the news. How dare they interfere with the Imperial Family’s affairs again?

And the evil organizations hiding in the city were the most impacted. They all planned to watch the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path fight, and they would secretly take advantage and seize the Sun Moon Universe Pearl.

Now that the Ten Thousand Demons King suddenly intervened, many people panicked. There are only a handful of people in the Qianyuan Empire who can fight against the Ten Thousand Demons King.

In fact, what really scared them were the demons hiding in the city. The Ten Thousand Demons King’s reputation is the most resounding in the Demon Realm. It can be said that within the scope of the Qianyuan Empire, the Ten Thousand Demons King is recognized as the strongest.

This is also Zhou An’s biggest goal, to deter the Heretical Path and the Demon Race, so that they dare not mess around in Qian Capital.

Sure enough, in the next period of time, no Immortal Cultivators caused trouble in Qian Capital, and the whole city was peaceful. In some restaurants, the arrogant posture of the Heretical Path cultivators was also gone.

Those demons who took the opportunity to mingle with the crowd and absorb the essence of living people also disappeared. Suddenly, the homicides related to Immortal Cultivators and the Demon Race stopped. Since the Immortal Cultivators gathered in Qian Capital, several people disappeared or died every day, and even dozens of people in a family were wiped out.

All of a sudden, it seemed that the world had really become peaceful. The Ten Thousand Demons King also cleared a space behind the Demon Suppression Agency and placed the Demon Suppression Tower here, turning it into a nine-story pagoda.
