A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators

Jiang Ding followed King Shenshan and walked towards the imperial palace step by step, as if walking into the bloody mouth of an ancient beast.

This imperial palace, said to be an imperial palace, is actually an extremely vast and majestic palace complex. Many high-ranking kings of the Yanshi family, as well as many blood relatives of the emperor, live here.

It has the best concentration of spiritual energy in the Flame Stone Star Territory and the most excellent body training treasure land. Countless strong men from the Flame Stone Star Territory spent their youth here.

As for the Great Emperor, he is not here. The Small Thousand World is too small for him. Although it is bearable, it is not a suitable place to live.

The emperor's true residence is in the starry sky.

After walking for a while, Jiang Ding showed a look of surprise.

"This direction doesn't seem to be where the Prince's Palace of the Flame Emperor's son is located?"

he said unexpectedly.

"King of Blood River, you should call the emperor your lord."

The Demon Mountain King didn't know when he would arrive, so he said coldly: "The Emperor doesn't want to see you right now. You have been arranged to stay in the household hall, waiting for the time when the Emperor wants to summon you."

"As for the time, it depends on the emperor's mood."

"Yeah?"

The Blood River King smiled.

The kings were very fast, and in just a moment, they arrived at a small, cramped, and very old palace. It was called a palace, but it was actually just a three-story building. It looked very shabby in every aspect.

This is the household hall of the Yanshi family, an organization in charge of the financial and taxation management of more than ten small worlds. It has great powers and responsibilities, but at the same time, its status is low and it has been artificially suppressed, forming a certain balance.

The main personnel of the Hudian are all slaves of the seventh, eighth or ninth grade. The members of the Yanshi family are only supervisors and have no actual duties.

This was a change brought about by King Blood River when he was in charge of the Zhenghu Palace. The reason was that only slaves would be absolutely loyal to the emperor. The sons and daughters of the emperor would not be corrupt and could create the most benefits for the emperor.

The result was indeed as he expected.

The slaves have the slave mark and can be killed at any time. Unlike the members of the Yanshi family who hold themselves to the emperor's relatives and have the confidence to use their hands, resulting in low efficiency and a lot of waste.

During the reign of King Blood River, various industries of the entire Yanshi family flourished, and taxes soared by 30%.

This is 30% of the eleven small thousand worlds!

This was a huge amount of wealth, and the Blood River King rose to prominence because of it, being promoted to a god, and even reached the peak of god transformation.

The price is to offend all the kings of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan, and the kings of the Slave Clan are truly lonely ministers.

The Blood River King's fake death that year was not only because he really wanted to spy on the emperor's territory, but also the crazy plotting by many kings of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan and the kings of the Slave Clan. It can be said that the world is full of enemies.

Now, it is appropriate for a Blood River King to be placed in a narrow and cramped household hall.

For an invincible king in the Flame Stone Star Territory, being placed here is obviously humiliating and does not suit his status.

"Hudian..."

Jiang Ding showed a nostalgic look, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he found that many of the office staff inside had become members of the Horned Demon Emperor clan. The slave clan was just serving people and did not participate in tax work. There was some kind of counterattack by the old forces. , couldn't help but smile slightly: "Has my reform been abolished?"

"Relying on blood relatives and cultivating blood relatives is the way to go."

King Shenshan sneered and said: "You evil devil, you just succeed with your treachery for a while, but you still want to continue to bewitch the emperor?"

"Haha, that's true."

Jiang Ding laughed: "However, according to me, this should be just a temporary compromise for Emperor Yanliu to appease him. When he gets a firm footing, he will probably restart my reforms. You are so upright. Empty words about righteousness are of no use.”

"No matter how upright and majestic it is, it is too vain compared to the watery spirit stone."

"Besides, you are weak and unable to stop it."

The so-called constraints of the bureaucracy are of no use to the strong man who possesses great power. If a group of people refuses to obey, just kill a group of them. It is really too much to think about using seniority and righteousness to suppress the other party.

There was a reason why the Blood River King was able to successfully reform back then.

"You are a slave and short-sighted. How can you guess the emperor's thoughts?"

King Shenshan looked gloomy and scolded.

At some point, after entering this palace, he became more and more courageous, and even dared to scold the Blood River King, even though he had always been cautious outside the palace.

"Haha! Interesting!"

Jiang Ding laughed louder and louder.

"The Blood River King."

"The Emperor orders you to hand over Emperor Cangkong, hand it over immediately!"

King Shen Shan became impatient, and said in a commanding tone with a sullen face, "No more politeness, what are you talking about?"

The Cangkong Emperor's son is still captured by the Blood River King. It is impossible for him to die, because he has the protection method of the Cangyan Ancient Emperor and cannot be killed by living beings other than the emperor's son.

The Blood River King can seal, humiliate, defeat the Cangkong Emperor, and even cut off his arm, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of the Emperor, these are all necessary training and he won't care about anything.

But this does not include the life of Emperor Cangkong.

Only the emperor's son can kill the emperor's son.

The Emperor of the Blue Sky is now only sealed, not dead yet, which means that the battle between the Emperor and the Son is not over yet, and the Emperor of Flame Stream cannot truly take the crown of the Emperor.

"What if I don't pay?"

Jiang Ding asked.

Wisps of murderous intent bloomed unknowingly.

King Chenshan and King Moshan shuddered subconsciously, surrounded by fear and surging blood waves in their hearts, just like mortals facing a fierce tiger, as if they would die in the next moment, without any resistance.

The gap between them was so terrifying!

When they really faced an invincible king, a king comparable to the king-level emperor, they knew how the dozens of kings of the Horned Demon Emperor clan died.

"You can try."

King Chenshan spoke in a cold tone, emphasizing each word.

Even in this situation, he dared to threaten so strongly.

"... Is that so?"

Jiang Ding was silent, and understood something.

In the battle of the emperor's son, the emperor would not intervene, and many emperor-level formations would not appear. This is the rule of the Horned Demon Emperor clan.

However, there is no rule in the world that is iron law and can never be shaken.

The implementation of all rules and laws must be based on force, otherwise it is just some words written on paper, without any meaning.

The same is true for this battle of the emperor's son.

The smooth progress of the battle between the sons of the emperors depends entirely on the confrontation and balance between the ancient emperor Cang Yan and the great emperor Yan Shi, as well as the traditions of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan and political correctness, so as to ensure the fairness of the battle between the sons of the emperors.

They are the makers and leaders of the rules, not the followers.

In this case, a slave wants to rely on the so-called rules to fight against the emperor and restrain the emperor?

This is really a joke.

If you want the emperor to abide by the rules, you must also have a great emperor to support you!

And now, the ancient emperor Cang Yan behind the son of the Cangkong Emperor is impossible to support the Blood River King, so the so-called rules are no longer rules.

This is not a program, you can just find loopholes.

"Take it."

Jiang Ding smiled and took out a blood cocoon as tall as a person and handed it to the two kings.

The only hope for the Blood River King from beginning to end is his own value, which may become the slave emperor of the Yanshi family.

That's all, nothing else.
