These questions weren’t meant to go against the Prime Minister, but were asked sincerely.
It was necessary to ask, and I dared not avoid them. The current situation was clearly beyond everyone’s expectations, and the biggest question remained: since you’ve set such strict rules, I must get a clear understanding. Otherwise, how can I manage my troops?
As long as I get clarity, facing the consequences won’t be an issue. If there’s a slip-up, it could lead to disaster, and dealing with the fallout is better than facing complete ruin…
By the time General Lan finished asking his questions, he had already been showered with spittle by the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister had worked with him for many years and had never held the upper hand like this before. He was feeling quite pleased: “Are you done asking?”
“I’m done.” Now that he had finished asking, General Lan felt more confident and didn’t bother with pleasantries. The shift from 'your excellency' to 'I' was incredibly swift, truly worthy of being the General of Eastern Sovereign Heaven.
“Hmph! If you’re done, then take your men and get lost!” The Prime Minister waved his sleeve, “Set off immediately!”
With a whoosh, he vanished from sight.
This left General Lan, who was about to unleash a torrent of curses, swallowing them back down.
“Set off!”
General Lan’s purple face turned black from anger as he waved his hand and left in a huff.
Little did he know that the Prime Minister, who had just hurried away, no longer felt relaxed but wore a heavy expression, muttering to himself: “That guy is indeed restless after coming up… In just a few days, he’s stirred up such a big fuss… Since His Majesty has personally rushed over, this incident must have been caused by him without a doubt…”
“Only he could earn such special treatment from His Majesty. Sigh…”
“This guy really knows how to cause trouble… In just a few days, he’s managed to break a Soul Suppressing Stone, such a rare thing! How could he possibly have destroyed it with his meager cultivation level?… Truly a troublemaking spirit… How did His Majesty end up bringing him to Eastern Sovereign Heaven? Couldn’t he have sent him somewhere else to wreak havoc on other forces instead…”
“Now it’s all gone wrong, leaving a mouse with a gun. Letting this little brat run rampant. What a mess…”
“Sigh…”
With a heartfelt long sigh, the Prime Minister finally disappeared from sight.
…
The lightning grew more and more intense.
It seemed to be pouring down incessantly.
Chu Yang and Brother Tiger bore witness to this might of heaven and earth, utterly stunned, mouths agape, speechless…
Chu Yang increasingly realized that this time, he had likely stirred up a monumental trouble.
Looking at the current situation, his initial intention of attracting several sects would undoubtedly succeed. They would arrive like sharks sensing blood!
Moreover, the impact of this incident would definitely extend far beyond Eastern Sovereign Heaven!
He believed that all the major sects in the Nine Heavens Pavilion would converge for a grand gathering because of this!
His plan was coming to fruition.
But who would end up cleaning up this mess?
How to clean it up?
He had only wanted to provoke a few sects to come over. Who would have thought it would escalate to such a scale…
Gaining from the fishermen? Damn it, gaining from the fishermen!
Not to mention the major sects that hadn’t arrived yet, just looking at those few from the Hua Family earlier was enough to make a certain King of Hell’s heart chill. Any one of them would surpass the current Chu Yang, and one or two were even at the heavenly level with strength at least on par with Cat Nini.
Such characters, upon contact, were left with nothing because of that sinister aura. Could he harness something so terrifying? Even the dreadful heavenly tribulation couldn’t destroy it. What support did he have to dare provoke that gain from the fishermen?!
Chu Yang felt somewhat depressed, once again feeling the frustration of inadequate strength.
