Dominating Martial King

Chapter 1824 - 599: Countercurrent

The Emperor’s three decrees today truly came as a surprise to them all.At the founding ceremony, three empresses standing together is unprecedented throughout history.

Only a few infamous emperors in history had ever done such absurd things, like having five empresses, or three empresses at once.

However, among the officials attending the founding ceremony, most were extremely wise and exceptionally capable.

They were all aware of the implications and understood that these three decrees were crucial to whether the Dalv Dynasty’s court would remain stable. Not a single person stepped forward to contradict or advise against them.

Behind the officials stood a few hot-headed individuals whose fiery temperament was evident, yet they too were cautious because this was the founding ceremony of the Dalv Dynasty, and they dared not speak easily.

Jian Cangfeng had anticipated this but couldn’t help but click his tongue.

"Only through the original heavens and earth, can the dry beginning rely on the earth to form" — his junior brother did not bother to hide his disdain. He felt that this ’Dalv Dynasty’ was established thanks to his two women.

Be that as it may, Chu Xisheng truly had no need to worry.

In today’s world, who doesn’t know that he alone, with his blade, can resist ten thousand armies and make all gods bow their heads? Who dares to underestimate this Primordial Emperor?

The more confident a person is, the more straightforward their actions.

Ding Cangsheng, on the other hand, relaxed his expression amidst surprise.

Chu Xisheng’s method of handling the situation didn’t completely resolve the problem, yet it postponed the conflict for decades.

He didn’t have to worry about the newly founded Dalv Dynasty collapsing overnight.

Ding Cangsheng couldn’t help but admire Chu Yunyun, "With a gentle disposition, embodying benevolence, she truly lives up to her name as a virtuous empress!"

Jian Cangfeng felt envious upon hearing this.

He knew that Chu Xisheng had paid a price for today’s affair of establishing the three empresses.

It was said that three days ago, Chu Xisheng had been fiercely beaten by Chu Yunyun.

Nonetheless, Chu Yunyun eventually consented to Chu Xisheng’s absurd action.

Jian Cangfeng couldn’t help but think of Ye Zhiqiu.

If he could enjoy the favor, even if Ye Zhiqiu beat him a hundred times, he would be willing!

Jian Cangfeng’s thoughts drifted to Ye Zhiqiu, who was wearing the armor of a Third Grade Forbidden Army General, standing on the left side of the imperial steps.

She looked up at Lu Luanti above, admiring in wonder and whispering quietly through a secret communication, "I really didn’t expect Luanyi had such a lineage. Qianqian, she should count as your cousin, right?"

Ye Zhiqiu felt slightly puzzled, noticing Lu Luanti’s expression seemed a bit off, somehow appearing absent-minded.

Ji Qianqian, however, was looking at the front of the imperial steps, nodding slightly, "I’m not sure yet, but if Luanyi truly is the late Crown Prince’s orphan, then she should be my cousin."

Her rank in the imperial guards surpassed that of Ye Zhiqiu, serving as the Deputy Commander of the new dynasty’s Second Grade Inner Palace Imperial Guards, concurrently leading the Heavenly Court Commander.

However, she was now more focused on the ministers and officers inside this hall than Lu Luanti.

Her instincts from the Police Pool of Blood alerted Ji Qianqian to the undercurrents moving inside the hall.

Ji Qianqian’s gaze gradually sharpened.

If Lu Luanti’s lineage were true, then she ought to be Ji Qianqian’s only relative in this world.

Yet Ji Qianqian did not feel much about it.

Ji Qianqian cared more about her Emperor, her master.

She would not allow anyone to plot against the Emperor! Nor permit anyone to shake the Emperor’s great endeavors!

Since over two years ago, when Chu Xisheng took the great risk to rescue her from Emperor Jianyuan’s watchful eyes, Ji Qianqian’s heart has held only one person.

Beside the two, standing were Liu Ruoxi, Zhoou Liangchen, Zuo Qingyun, and Chu Ming.

Liu Ruoxi and Zhoou Liangchen wore expressions of excitement, their eyes fixed devotedly, gazing up at Chu Xisheng on the platform.

Zuo Qingyun also appeared focused as well.

Yet, he harbored a strange feeling amidst admiration and contemplation.

Zuo Qingyun still couldn’t adjust to the fact that his friend had become the founding monarch of the new dynasty, finding it quite incongruous.

However, given Chu Xisheng’s character and conduct, he would surely be a wise ruler, surpassing the predecessors.

His friend ascended as the ruler of the Divine Continent, truly meeting the expectations of many. For the common people, it was indeed a marvelously good thing.

Chu Ming was clad in full Iron Armor, even her face masked beneath a face mask.

Her mood was terrible.

After Chu Xisheng’s return, he didn’t make things difficult for her.

He even arranged for her to be a Deputy Commander of the Second Grade Inner Palace Imperial Guards.

Yet every time she thought of Chu Xisheng as the invincible Infinite Blade Lord of this era, ascended as emperor, while she herself not only had fallen to being an evil corpse but was also under his control, her life and death no longer free, Chu Ming couldn’t help but feel utterly bitter.

Aside from this, she also felt inferior, believing herself to be an outcast in this hall.

All their gazes upon her were invariably filled with curiosity, sarcasm, and scorn.

The grievances between the Primordial Emperor and the Chu family were notorious, while she, Chu Ming, was undoubtedly the laughingstock in everyone’s eyes.

Only a very small portion of people harbored some respect and fear toward her battle prowess.

Chu Ming couldn’t help casting her gaze toward the Iron Madman, who stood as the leader of the ministers, secretly feeling envious.

According to what she knew, this Duke was actually, like herself, an evil corpse.

He was at most a half-beast and half-corpse, an abnormal being from the fusion of a Divine Beast and an evil corpse.

Yet in the Daning Dynasty, his status was worlds apart from hers.

Because when Chu Xisheng was weak in the past, this person had offered some assistance, now he occupied the highest ministerial position.

Not only was he the contemporary ’Duke Ning,’ but he also served as the Left Capital Imperial Censor of the Imperial Court of Supervision, honorable as the Constitution Platform, overseeing all officials under heaven.

Chu Ming couldn’t help but secretly mock herself.
