Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Gong Jue, who was fighting with the enemy, suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

"Gong Jue, I have to go to the Imperial Capital for business. Master Huai will lead you to eliminate the remnants of the Poseidon Alliance."

After hearing the message, Gong Jue used all his strength to clear a large area in front of him. Looking back, he saw Gu Yan flying towards the north.

"As ordered!"

Normally, this battle would take seven or eight days to complete, but now Gu Yan directly attacked with all his strength, coupled with the bombing of the powerful cannon at all costs, it took less than three days to break through the Poseidon Alliance headquarters.

But even if I hurry up and hurry up, it's still a little late.

Now that Emperor Qin was on his deathbed, Gu Yan did not dare to waste any time and flew towards the north at full speed. If it was too late to go back and the funeral had been held, then...

Gu Yan kept his promise. Since he had promised Emperor Qin at the beginning, he would not break his promise.

Even if he doesn't have the position of king, Gu Yan will still help him. When the ninth prince called Gu Yan "teacher", Gu Yan would help him ascend to the throne.

……

A few days later, in the imperial palace, the gray-haired Emperor Qin was lying quietly on the dragon bed.

The eight princes knelt in the palace, clasped their heads on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, and sobbed.

"Send my father to heaven!"

The ministers kneeling behind the eight princes also knelt on the ground, crying and shouting sadly.

"Send your majesty to heaven!"

Qin Wudao, the king of Mount Tai, who was standing next to the dragon bed, looked at Emperor Qin lying on the bed with a sad look in his eyes.

"Hey, this kid, Lao Shi, has been tired all his life. It's time for him to take a rest."

King Taishan is the uncle of Emperor Qin and the younger brother of Emperor Qin’s father.

It's just that King Taishan was obsessed with cultivation and had no intention of fighting for the throne. He went to the border of Huangzhou to fight against evil spirits early. Therefore, the relationship between the two brothers has always been good, and he also took good care of Emperor Qin, his descendant.

Several royal princes behind King Taishan comforted him softly.

"Seventh brother, don't be too sad. Lao Shi has done a lot for the human race in his life. At the end of his life, he also allowed me to expand the territory of Daqin a little more. It is enough to be called a hero of the generation. I must have seen it before. He will also be very satisfied and pleased."

"Yes, Brother Qi, these eight children, Lao Shi, are all excellent, and he can leave with peace of mind."

King Taishan was a strong man at the pinnacle of the Tongxuan Realm, with a persevering mind. After a short period of sadness, he returned to normal, looked at the Minister of Rites kneeling in the crowd, and said in a deep voice

"Qu Yuan, prepare for His Majesty's funeral immediately. It must be grand, do you understand?"

Qu Yuan, the Minister of Rites, who was kneeling in the crowd, raised his head, cupped his fists at King Taishan and said

"King Taishan, don't worry, your majesty is a great leader of the generation, and he will definitely let him go in glory."

King Taishan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Chen Hai, Minister of Industry, and asked

"Chen Hai, can the construction of the imperial mausoleum be completed?"

Chen Hai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said with fists in his hands

"Go back to your lord, the imperial mausoleum was completed three days ago, and everything is ready."

"Well, I will send someone to send the Kunlun sacred tree to the Ministry of Industry in a while, and let the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry build a coffin for His Majesty. There is only one Kunlun sacred tree, so remember not to make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will personally supervise you and there will never be any problems."

King Taishan nodded slightly, then looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and said

"Xiang Ke, today you will prepare His Majesty's funeral objects. Remember, this is His Majesty's funeral. Change your stingy habits."

When Xiang Ke heard what King Taishan said, he looked dumbfounded.

Is he being stingy? As the Minister of Household Affairs, he is in charge of the national taxation and treasury, and is the veritable God of Wealth in the court.

However, the entire imperial court, from military pay to official salaries, to all financial expenditures of the country, etc., all come from other households.

What's more, since Emperor Qin ascended the throne, he has launched a large-scale attack on evil spirits, and the national treasury's money has been consumed crazily. If he hadn't been stingy, all the money in the treasury would have been lost long ago.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."

King Taishan ordered a few more officials, and after arranging all the funeral arrangements for Emperor Qin, he looked at the eight princes and said

"You all go back and prepare. From today on, you will take turns keeping vigil for His Majesty."

King Taishan knew that these eight princes had long been unable to bear it any longer. They all wanted to get rid of their brothers and ascend to the high throne. But now that Emperor Qin had just passed away, no matter how ambitious they were, they had to be honest first. Really send Emperor Qin away

After Emperor Qin sent them away, they would fight as much as they wanted. King Taishan didn't care at all.

The eight princes raised their heads, showing their tear-stained faces, and bowed their fists to King Taishan, saying

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is retiring."

After the princes left, King Taishan waved to the ministers in the palace and said

"You guys should also go back and prepare."

"We retire"

After everyone in the hall left, waves suddenly appeared in the air, and Shen Tongxuan's figure appeared in the hall.

When King Taishan and other royal princes saw Shen Tongxuan appear, they cupped their fists and saluted him, saying

"I've seen Wu Xian"

"Free gift"

Shen Tongxuan walked slowly to the dragon bed, looked at Emperor Qin who was lying on the bed and had lost his breath, and sighed softly.

"The world is about to change greatly. It will not be a good thing for the human race if you leave at this time."

King Taishan glanced at several princes, and they immediately understood and quickly left the hall.

King Taishan walked to Shen Tongxuan and said in a deep voice

"Is the power outside the boundary about to dissipate?"

"Well, I guess I won't be able to hold on for a few more years."

"Then did you get the method to break through the first realm from the mouth of the golden Buddha?"

Shen Tongxuan nodded first, then shook his head and said

"His breakthrough method is not suitable for me. I am taking a path that no one has ever tried before."

Shen Tongxuan's martial arts is completely different from that of the world, otherwise he would not have been able to block the second-level demons in Liang Kingdom and protect the human race for so many years.

If Shen Tongxuan uses the method of Golden Light Buddha, he can indeed break through to the first level now, but if he does that, his upper limit in the future will definitely be limited to the level of Golden Light Buddha.

This is not what he wants. He wants to change the world, kill evil spirits, go to the end of martial arts, and see the scenery at the top, so there must be no shackles on him.

After hearing Shen Tongxuan's words, King Taishan's brows suddenly knitted together.

"If you don't step into the first realm, after that power dissipates in the future, monsters from outside the realm will invade in large numbers. How will the human race save itself?"

Shen Tongxuan's slightly ordinary face showed a soft smile and said

"When demons from outside the territory invade, I will naturally step into the first realm."

Although Shen Tongxuan's tone was gentle, he revealed unparalleled confidence, as if the shackles that had trapped the world's warriors for five thousand years were nothing more than a blank piece of paper in front of him and could be easily broken.

King Taishan had no doubts about Shen Tongxuan's words. He believed in this patron saint of the human race.
