Ch 20: Dragging the Demon Emperor Through the Streets in Humiliation!

“And another thing!” Chu Mo stepped forward, grabbed the Demon Emperor’s head, and slammed it hard against the floor. Once, twice, three times, the floor nearly shattered.

“You just said… that the defense on your body is related to the Qing Dynasty’s rule over the world? Heh…”

Chu Mo smiled. Did this guy really naively think he was just a brute with raw strength?!

“How dare you, traitor!!!” Fu Kang’an’s eyes were bloodshot. If what happened before could be called a fight, this was pure humiliation.

He was utterly loyal to the Emperor; a subject should die for the Emperor’s humiliation. How could he stand by and watch?!

However, just as he charged toward Chu Mo, Chu Mo casually reached out and grabbed his long demonic braid, yanking it hard against the floor. With a loud bang, smoke billowed, and Fu Kang’an’s face and body were instantly covered in blood.

“You… you actually…”

Before Fu Kang’an could finish speaking, Chu Mo, like a certain unnamed green giant from a past life dealing with the god of mischief, grabbed the braid and violently yanked it left and right, smashing the floor tiles to pieces.

In the end, Fu Kang’an was directly knocked unconscious!

“Another grandmaster gone!” Chu Mo sighed and ran his hand over Fu Kang’an’s body. He, too, followed in Heshen’s footsteps…

Under the gaze of the civil and military officials, the Demon Emperor, and Liu Yong, who barely managed to turn his head, Fu Kang’an left behind only a Northeast tiger skin.

A deathly silence fell.

Especially when they saw Chu Mo casually pick up the demon seed and toss it into his mouth like a snack, then look around at the many demons present with great interest…

The demons all shuddered.

Since the Qing Dynasty, they had only heard of demons eating humans, never of humans eating demons!

And in such a bizarre and brutal way that sent chills down their spines!

Chu Mo released his grip, and the Demon Emperor slumped to the ground, his chest heaving violently. Though not fatally injured, he remained motionless, his gaze dull and lifeless, as if his heart had died…

Chu Mo stepped on the Demon Emperor’s head and lightly ground it twice. This was undoubtedly humiliating, but the Demon Emperor still didn’t resist.

He was utterly terrified, still thinking, anxious, and worried that Chu Mo would really starve him to death.

“Are there any demons or human officials willing to surrender?” Chu Mo asked casually. “If you surrender now, at most, I’ll judge you and your families based on your crimes and imprison you for life! I won’t kill you, let alone eat you!”

“I’ll count down, three, two…”

Chu Mo spoke very quickly, as if afraid that any demons might surrender.

“I’m willing to surrender, this servant is willing to surrender!” A tall man quickly crawled forward, prostrating himself before Chu Mo. “This servant, Fu Long’an, is willing to surrender! Willing to obey all orders from the Sage… Human Emperor!”

The Demon Emperor’s body stiffened, and he barely managed to turn his head, staring intently at Fu Long’an with a ferocious gaze that could devour demons. So, this was the Human Emperor?

Chu Mo’s expression flickered strangely for a moment. Fu Long’an’s name sounded very familiar… because he had loved watching Princess Pearl in his past life. After growing up, he had specifically looked up information…

He eventually learned that Erkang, one of the main characters, was likely based on this Fu Long’an, Emperor Qianlong’s son-in-law. Of course, some said that Erkang was based on Fu Kang’an…

“Then, please tell me… the locations and information of all the demons inside Kyoto.” Chu Mo grabbed the Demon Emperor’s braid, dragging him like a dead dog.

“Oh… ah?!” Fu Long’an was dumbfounded.

Everyone present, whether human or demon, could be considered the cream of the crop. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gained the Demon Emperor’s trust… This elderly Demon Emperor was known for his love of grand achievements and his volatile temper.

Therefore, they instantly realized… this God of Slaughter was preparing to do what he always did! Kill from the top down!

Although Fu Long’an had surrendered for his life, making him make this decision… making the decision to betray all the demons in Kyoto… this was too much…

Just as he saw Chu Mo place his hand on his shoulder and saw Fu Kang’an’s tiger skin beside him, Fu Long’an was almost scared out of his wits, and he said with a terrified expression, “I know where they are… this servant knows everything!”

◈◈◈

“Near the Imperial Palace… I, I, I, is there a map in the Grand Council of State?”

“Very good, then please bring it over!” Chu Mo lightly patted Fu Long’an’s shoulder. Suddenly remembering something, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “By the way… you wouldn’t run away, would you?”

Fu Long’an shuddered and quickly shook his head. To say that he had no thoughts of running at all… that would be a lie! But the problem was, after what had just happened, seeing how the person in front of him had directly arrived at the entrance of the Palace of Heavenly Purity in just a few seconds…

Clearly, the person in front of him was entering the Forbidden City for the first time… yet his target was so clear! It was hard not to suspect that the other side had some ability to lock onto qi… after all, this was a Celestial Human!

If he dared to run, wouldn’t that be courting death?!

“Go.” Chu Mo removed his hand and nodded with a smile. Fu Long’an understood implicitly and bowed deeply again. “This servant obeys the Human Emperor’s order!”

Then, he scurried away toward the entrance of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

“Anyone else willing to surrender?” Chu Mo scanned the remaining people.

With the first one, seven or eight human officials instantly knelt down. It couldn’t be said that the Demon Dynasty had no backbone… but because of the Demon Dynasty’s special nature, the proportion of human officials with backbone and integrity was significantly lower than in orthodox human dynasties.

Moreover, even the demons had surrendered… wasn’t it only natural for them, these humans, to surrender? They had no psychological barriers at all!

“Oh, after I’m done killing, please maintain the stability of Kyoto!” Chu Mo nodded casually. “I’ll give you full access to power during this time. You can control all the power structures in Kyoto and do whatever you want… I only have one request: don’t affect the common people!”

“If I hear news of civilian deaths or injuries… if I hear even one piece of news, I’ll randomly send one of your nine generations to join you on your journey! If I hear too much, then you eight people, along with your nine generations, can all go together…”

The human officials: “…?!”

Wait! They had surrendered… and you’re still making such unreasonable demands of them???

You… you’re more tyrannical than the Demon Emperor!!

But after their faces turned green for a moment, the officials didn’t pause or argue. They fled toward the door in a panic, clearly already preparing to issue orders and stabilize Kyoto…

After about fifteen minutes, Chu Mo obtained the map and had a rough idea of what to do. He dragged the Demon Emperor, like a dead dog, and slowly walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

On this day…

The people of Kyoto saw a scene that surpassed their imagination and understanding.

The Demon Emperor, who was high above and regarded the human people as mere grass, was being dragged through the streets in humiliation… If not for that lofty dragon robe, they wouldn’t even have dared to believe that the dead dog was the Emperor…

Also on this day…

Rivers of blood flowed within Kyoto.

The Eight Demon Banners and the vassal demons who had fled to Kyoto from various places were all wiped out by Chu Mo in one fell swoop!

The only thing that could prove they had ever existed…

Was the thousands of extra demon seeds in Chu Mo’s hands.
