Seated high upon the Golden Throne Hall, Yi Chen’s fingers gently tapped on the carved dragon armrest, his presence solemn.
“Let’s hear it~ What’s the situation now?”
As the Horde of Demons exchanged glances, Ma Zouri stepped forward:
“Reporting to the Holy Venerable, we have now essentially taken over the major Demon Cities and many core strategic locations of the Eastern Demon Kingdom.”
“Holy Venerable’s Demonic Might is vast, sweeping across the Six Harmonies and enveloping the Eight Desolations, captivating the hearts of the demonkin, and is respected from all directions.
Now, numerous old Demon Noble families have already presented their submission.
I dare to ask the Holy Venerable, how should we deal with these Demon Nobles who have shown subservience?”
“Shall we kill or placate?”
“If we are to both kill and placate, what criteria should we use to decide who to kill and who to placate?”
“Also, regarding the offspring from the Royal Families within the Three Great Demon Kingdoms, in accordance with the Holy Venerable’s wishes, how should we handle them?”
Ma Zouri posed these critical issues facing the Demon Righteous Church with clear logic and articulate speech.
Many eyes converged on Yi Chen, some with deeply hidden investigative glances.
All the demonkin knew that any decisions made here today would deeply affect the direction of the Demon Realm.
As for these tricky questions, Yi Chen had already prepared his draft answer.
When the Sacred Devil converged under the public eye, there were not a few demonkin pointing out various doubts.
During the course of half a day, a very reliable piece of gossip spread like wildfire.
“All demonkin in the Demon Realm have been deceived by the Holy Venerable Jia Loulan, who is actually a member of the Human Race hiding among the demonkin.”
“He came to bring disaster to the Demon Realm, not for so-called fairness.
Today he abused his power over the weak, shamelessly pursuing and killing many experts from the Eastern Demon Kingdom who clearly wanted to surrender, which is the most convincing evidence.”
All demonkin from the Demon Righteous Church were looking forward to Yi Chen’s response.
Yi Chen gave a faint smile, stopping his light tapping on the armrest abruptly, causing the hearts of some senior members of the Demon Righteous Church to skip a beat.
“This seat has also heard some whispers from outside.
It seems that the Demon Realm is concerned whether I will wield the slaughtering blade again.”
“Today, I can clearly tell everyone here, and declare to the world, that the decision to kill or not, to placate or not, is not made by this seat, nor by you all, but by the ‘Fair Demon Code.'”
“Anyone who violates the ‘Fair Demon Code’ will be dealt with in accordance with it, except for those who receive special amnesty from this seat.”
“If some demonkin die, it is not because I, Gyalou, want to kill them, but because the ‘Fair Demon Code’ and the billions of demonkin who support it cannot tolerate them.”
Yi Chen smiled gently, slowly conveying his first decree to the senior leaders of the Demon Righteous Church.
The killer is not me, it is the law.
But when Daoist is hungry, it’s alright to legislate strictly, majority violates, enforce the law with specificity, huh.
The demonkin aren’t fools.
If they truly slay experts indiscriminately across the world, even an idiot could see through Yi Chen’s true colors.
But after the roundabout through the ‘Fair Demon Code,’ couldn’t the demonkin and Demon Nobles accept it?
After all, the right of interpretation of the Fair Demon Code is in his possession, so there’s absolutely no need to panic.
Following that, the second shocking decree was delivered, causing an uproar among the horde.
“For the second issue, regarding the royal bloodline of the Demon Dragon Clan, I will not kill a single one, and will even give them a small piece of land, as long as they do not violate the ‘Fair Demon Code,’ I will not touch any of them.”
“Under the heavens, all is the Emperor’s land; at the edge of the land, all are imperial subjects.
The youthful offspring of the Demon Dragon Clan are innocent and free from Holy Judgment; let’s give them some land to settle them down.”
“To show my gratitude for their respect towards the Blood Dragon…
no, I mean His Majesty the Eastern Pole Demon Emperor, I hereby permit the young bloodline of the Demon Dragon Clan to take away ten percent of their clan’s treasures.”
“After all, the Old Demon Dragon once promised me that if defeated, their lives would be spared.
I was a bit impulsive yesterday, and later, Selena will issue an Edict of Self-accusation on my behalf, to be distributed along with today’s decisions.”
The Demon Realm has always practiced exterminating to the roots, so Yi Chen’s words were particularly startling, especially the part about the Edict of Self-accusation, which was so full of sincerity that it could swell the faces of any conspiracy theorists.
The Edict of Self-accusation, that’s the declaration of the one who had just killed the terrorizing power of the Fifth Realm, the Eastern Pole Demon Emperor.
You claim the Holy Venerable is a thief who deliberately came to wreak havoc on the Demon Realm; do you still have the will to believe it?
Of course, in Yi Chen’s eyes, the Edict of Self-accusation was nothing more than toilet paper.
He always focused on practical benefits, and this mattered not at all.
In the past, a certain peerless Emperor orchestrated the Xuanwu Gate coup; was he afraid of the world’s gossip?
No, because he truly had the strength, with most of the land conquered by his own hands.
“Holy Venerable, this cannot be!
Remember, if you don’t remove the roots, the weeds will regrow come spring.”
Suddenly, the many inquiring gazes within the hall disappeared, only to be replaced by voices advising Yi Chen.
The Holy Venerable is far too kind.
“Haha, cut them all, with no treacherous subjects left, without Deep Red Points, am I supposed to pick you apart to make it up?”
Yi Chen mocked in his heart, immediately silencing all opposing voices.
While watering chives can make them grow, fertilizing can make them grow even faster.
This is all the Holy Venerable’s love~
Well done, Yi Chen had even thought of the future scenario where the old Demon Nobles would exploit bugs in secret before handling major affairs by isolating their excellent offspring, absolutely not violating the ‘Fair Demon Code.’
Not to mention the inevitable ‘Holy Judgment’ scene where they would mock Yi Chen to his face for shooting his own foot, with endless descendants determined to overthrow you, the Demon Head.
