Chapter 3: When Plans Fail, a Group of Treacherous Officials Come

Is this the Immortal Sect?

Ye Ning browsed through his memories, just a spectator, not feeling particularly strong emotions.

But witnessing it with his own eyes now, naturally, his heart surged.

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person in his past life, never experiencing such a scene before today.

No matter who saw it, they would be awed by the demeanor of these immortals.

Officials bowing, the Emperor bowing in respect, what a majestic sight?

But if viewed from another angle, placed in the shoes of Emperor Zhou, it would probably be endless frustration and helplessness.

Ye Ning couldn’t be bothered to ponder what the emperor was thinking, since it didn’t concern him anyway.

When he becomes the Heavenly Emperor himself, he would surely be infinitely more majestic than this so-called True Immortal of the Feather Transformation Sect.

He Yuan, the True Immortal of the Feather Transformation Sect, flashed a hint of disdain in his narrow eyes.

He appeared lazy, deliberately ignoring, wanting the Emperor to bow a little longer.

Having cultivated for many years, he had just broken through to the realm of True Immortal three years ago, and today was his first time leaving the mountain gate.

Seeing the supreme ruler bowing before him, he felt infinite satisfaction in his heart.

“Is this the Great Zhou Emperor?” He snorted disdainfully with a lazy tone.

Ten thousand years ago, how domineering was the Great Zhou Emperor, sweeping away all kinds of beings, suppressing the Immortal Sect, and creating an immortal dynasty.

Could he have imagined that thousands of years later, his descendants would be groveling at our Immortal Sect’s feet?

Those participating in today’s occasion were all astute people.

How could they not hear the sarcasm in his words?

But no one stepped forward to speak for the Emperor.

They lowered their eyes, as if they hadn’t heard anything.

And the Great Zhou Emperor remained respectful, showing no signs of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ning felt a bit inclined to stir up trouble.

But after some thought, he restrained himself.

“The grand show has just begun. It’s a bit of a loss to die immediately. If I’m going to die, I have to die heroically!”

His mind was filled with wild ideas.

Death could be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai.

Since death was inevitable, he must choose a badass way to die.

The timing wasn’t ripe enough yet. He would wait a bit longer!

“Your Majesty need not be so polite,” He Yuan deliberately waited for a while before speaking casually.

He was a bit embarrassed.

But more importantly, he was afraid.

Not afraid of others, but afraid of Ye Ning.

Is this Lord Ye a madman?

Rebuke the Immortal Sect and the Six Kings?

Just say you want to die early.

Ye Ning shrugged, somewhat uninterested.

I thought this Liu Jin was someone with courage... no, they were all eunuchs, where would the courage come from?

With this thought, everything seemed to make sense.

Probably many of the officials in the court today had the same thoughts — filled with inner sorrow and indignation, but outwardly they dared not say anything, afraid of inviting trouble upon themselves.

But this was a good thing in Ye Ning’s eyes. The more others feared death, the more he could stand out.

Offending the Immortal Sect, even if it was to establish his authority, the True Immortal of the Feather Transformation Sect would never let Ye Ning off.

The court meeting continued.

The grand performance had already begun, but those in the court were all seasoned players in politics, lacking neither patience nor savvy. They first discussed the major events of other countries, deliberately avoiding the main point.

“Why isn’t the matter of establishing a new kingdom being mentioned? Could it be that the Immortal Sect has given up on the idea?” Liu Jin harbored illusions, with a hopeful look in his eyes.

“It’s impossible. Changing the topic is not a long-term solution. Look, that True Immortal of the Feather Transformation Sect is already getting impatient...” Ye Ning sneered.

The stage had already been set. How could they not perform?

As expected, even though the officials were discussing other matters passionately, a light cough from He Yuan immediately silenced everyone.

He waved his feather duster, showing impatience in his eyes.

“These trivial matters are of no interest to me.”

He glanced at Ji Mingyue sitting on the dragon throne and said,

“The intentions of our sect are clear. Your Majesty should know. The Li family of Jinyang has served as three lords over four generations, with a high reputation in the county. They have done countless deeds beneficial to the country and the people. Based on their merits, they should be ennobled as kings!”

One sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Everyone’s brows twitched, holding their breath, as silent as cicadas in winter.

Here it comes.

When plans fail, a group of treacherous officials come!

Ye Ning was very curious, how would the Emperor on the stage respond?

Silence.

After a full dozens of breaths of silence, a voice finally came from the dragon throne.

“What if, I refuse?”
