Chapter 1134: Eastern Desolation
"Shut up!"
Jin Yuan was furious. He stood up, looked around, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone.
He was truly angry. As an old minister of the Human Emperor, based on his understanding of the Human Emperor, he thought the Human Emperor seemed injured, but in fact, it probably wasn't that simple.
If he dared to lead others in rebellion, he would likely be suppressed by the Human Emperor immediately.
"Short-sighted fools, do you know how terrifying the Human Emperor is?"
Jin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone and finally, he dared not continue. He feared saying too much and being found out by the Human Emperor, "Never mention rebellion again. If anyone dares to rebel, don't let me know, or I will be the first to take him down and seek credit with the Human Emperor."
"But, Elder Jin..."
Yan Ming was unwilling in his heart. If they didn't rebel now, would there be another chance later? He wanted to persuade Jin Yuan.
Jin Yuan waved his hand, using his demeanor to stop Yan Ming from continuing.
Yan Ming reluctantly shut his mouth.
For a moment, in the meeting hall, the expressions of the eight Grand Elders were unusual, and for the moment, no one knew what to say.
The scene fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive.
After a while, Xiong Jin couldn't help but speak, "If we don't rebel, what do we do tomorrow? Impeach Xiao Mu?"
Talking about impeaching Xiao Mu, everyone fell silent again. They wanted to impeach, but this time, what fault did Xiao Mu have, and on what grounds could they impeach?
Jin Yuan suddenly felt a surge of powerlessness, and he waved his hand, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
※※※
Early the next morning, Xiao Mu stopped meditating. Because he was to meet the Human Emperor, he felt a bit nervous and uneasy.
The Human Emperor was unpredictable, putting immense pressure on him.
At this time, the sound of the jade bell rang, and Xiao Mu came out of Tai Mie Mountain, riding a cloud of the Five Elements toward Floating Sky Mountain.
"Greetings, Lady Shenfeng, Senior Zhou, Senior Zun, Elder Lv."
When Xiao Mu arrived, he found that Lady Shenfeng, Zhou Xuanmen, Zun, and Lv Liangping had already arrived, and he greeted everyone with a smile.
"Xiao Xiao, join the ranks!"
Lady Shenfeng instructed with a smile, so Xiao Mu stood in the line behind Lv Liangping.
"Hmph!"
At this time, a cold snort came from the opposite line, and Xiao Mu turned his head to find Yan Ming glaring angrily at him.
"Haha!"
Xiao Mu chuckled, intentionally raising his eyebrows at Yan Ming, with a provocative undertone in his action.
"You!"
Yan Ming was furious and was about to explode.
"Old Yan, stop!"
Jin Yuan's reproving voice came from the front, immediately halting Yan Ming.
"We'll see about that!" Stopped by Jin Yuan, Yan Ming, unwilling, threw a line at Xiao Mu and then turned his head.
At this moment, celestial music played, flowers bloomed everywhere, and the Human Emperor arrived at the Grand Hall in the ancient chariot.
"Long live the Human Emperor!"
Led by Jin Yuan and Lady Shenfeng, everyone saluted the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor, riding the Eight Directions Ancient Chariot, quickly ascended to the Throne, stretched his hand, "Rise!"
"Human Emperor!"
Jin Yuan stepped out from the ranks, intending to speak immediately.
However, before he could say anything, there was a sound of cloud mist unfolding from outside, as someone riding on clouds flew into the Grand Hall.
"Poof!"
The person landed and immediately spat blood.
Xiao Mu looked over at this person but found he didn't recognize them.
However, this middle-aged person, appearing about forty years old but already reaching the mid-True God stage in power, bowed to the Human Emperor, "Zhu Ke pays respects to the Human Emperor!"
"Rise, Minister Zhu, what has happened?"
The Human Emperor waved his hand, sending a ray of governing light into this mid-True God stage strongman Zhu Ke's body.
Zhu Ke's injuries seemed severe, but under this governing light, he quickly recovered.
"Thank you, Human Emperor!"
Zhu Ke bowed in gratitude to the Human Emperor and then reported, "Reporting to the Human Emperor, Minister Wang Yuan and I were ordered to guard the Eastern Desolation. However, starting last month, many powerful beings from the Heavenly Court suddenly descended and invaded the Eastern Desolation. Minister Wang Yuan and I collaborated in resistance, but in the end, we were defeated. The Heavenly Court even dispatched a powerful being who injured me. Now, the Eastern Desolation is at risk of being lost. Please, Human Emperor, dispatch more strongmen for support."
Eastern Desolation?
Upon hearing this, there was a flurry of discussions among the people.
Only Xiao Mu did not recognize Zhu Ke and another person named Wang Yuan, and upon hearing Eastern Desolation, he was at a loss.
"Has the Heavenly Court invaded Eastern Desolation?"
The Human Emperor showed a contemplative look. After a moment, he looked at the crowd, particularly at Jin Yuan and Lady Shenfeng, and inquired, "Lady Shenfeng, Jin Yuan, do either of you have someone in mind who could go to Eastern Desolation? To assist Wang Yuan and Zhu Ke in resisting the Heavenly Court's invasion?"
"This..." Jin Yuan hesitated.
He clearly did not want to go. Recently, due to Xiao Mu repeatedly achieving merit, coupled with frequent conflicts with their faction of the eight Grand Elders, their strength was considerably weakened.
If they were to send someone to Eastern Desolation, could Floating Sky Mountain here still contend against Lady Shenfeng's faction?
Lady Shenfeng suddenly thought of something, and she turned to look at Xiao Mu.
She did not speak but directly transmitted her voice, inquiring of Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, aren't you preparing to advance to the late True God stage? The Eastern Desolate Land is suitable for your body refinement. Why not take a trip?"
Upon hearing Lady Shenfeng's transmission, Xiao Mu felt a stirring within.
He did need a place where he could smoothly advance to the late True God stage, but the idea of heading to Eastern Desolation made him anxious, as he knew nothing about the so-called Eastern Desolation.
"Lady Shenfeng, wouldn't the Heavenly Court's strength be too overwhelming? If I'm not strong enough, how could I guard Eastern Desolation? Moreover, Emperor Taija is probably sending people to search for me. If I enter Eastern Desolation at this time, wouldn't it..."
