'Jiexing' was Emperor Taizong's old name in Tianliang County.
Ever since the Heavenly Tome Monoliths descended upon the world, there was no one who could ever surpass this man's status in history.
For this reason, everyone on this continent, whether they were born before or after him, would always pay him the highest honor and respect.
Neither human nor demi-human, nor even those demon dukes in Xuelao City that hated him to the bone, would ever directly address him by his name.
But today, Black Robe had called it out, and he had even called him 'little boy'.
Anyone could hear that his hatred for Emperor Taizong extended straight into the marrow of his bones.
”If time could forget all things of the past, what meaning would there be in our existences?”
Black Robe sneered at Wang Zhice, ”You once said that you did not care about worldly affairs, but it looks to me like you still can't let them go.”
Wang Zhice said, ”Since you collaborated with people from the other race, this is no longer a worldly affair, but an affair that is beyond this world.”
Black Robe asked, ”And so what?”
Wang Zhice replied, ”As long as you are willing to give up on this insane way of thinking, I am willing to do anything for you.”
”Anything?”
Black Robe ridiculed, ”I've seen your shameless cruelty. Did you think I would be fooled by you another time?”
After saying this, he turned and stalked toward that metropolis deep within the snowstorm.
The Demon Commander and the Demon Generals followed, while those massive figures in the black mists gradually faded away.
Wang Zhice gazed at Black Robe's figure, an extremely complicated expression on his face.
……
……
The Demon Lord silently left White Emperor City, the entire process so peaceful that nobody noticed.
There were many human experts that wanted to kill the Demon Lord within the city, but nobody could touch him, as the White Emperor had loudly proclaimed a decree.
This decree was the exact same as Madam Mu's, a word-for-word copy.
'One who has come from afar is a guest.'
Anyone could understand what this meant.
Everything in the world needed to be in equilibrium.
In order to guard against the Human race becoming too strong on its own, the Demon race could not be weakened too much.
The Council of Elders remained silent, as did the Demi-human Court and experts like Xiaode, because this was His Majesty's will. Only Jin Yulu, just like he did several hundred years ago, entered a fierce quarrel with the White Emperor, after which he was driven out of the Imperial City to continue his life tilling the fields.
Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six stood on the observation platform, looking into the hall.
The sun was extremely bright and the hall was extremely gloomy. It was difficult to clearly see anything within, only the ministers, generals, and elders prostrating on the ground in a dense wave.
Tang Thirty-Six recalled the bloody battle that had taken place around the courtyard. In a terrible mood, he sneered, ”Is that what 'the weak are reasonable' means?”
Chen Changsheng said nothing, only sighed.
It didn't take long for the court to conclude its session.
The ministers, generals, and elders began to file out. From a distance, they respectfully bowed at Chen Changsheng, then dispersed. No one dared to come forward and speak with them, not even the Bear tribe elder or the Shi clan leader. The circumstances today were completely different from the circumstances several nights ago in the Daoist church.
After several years, the White Emperor had finally returned to his city. There was no need for him to attempt any politics or strategy for the entire Demi-human race to unite under his will.
Moreover, the only person that could threaten his status, the Xiang clan leader, had died a violent death, and the Xiang clan itself was very unstable.
Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six entered the hall.
There was no seat for Chen Changsheng to sit on, but Tang Thirty-Six could not call this disrespectful, as the White Emperor was also not sitting.
”How is your grandfather doing?”
The White Emperor asked Tang Thirty-Six.
No matter how many silent curses he had, Tang Thirty-Six still responded very calmly and appropriately. There was nothing to criticize in either his courtesy or bearing.
But in the end, he still could not help but say a few words.
”I really can't understand why he still loves to stir so many storms, even though he's this old.”
He was clearly speaking of the Tang Old Master, but the object of his ridicule was the White Emperor.
The White Emperor ignored him. Turning to Chen Changsheng, he said a few words.
