The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 209: Buhao! He’s an Undercover Agent!

"Honorable Illidan Demon Emperor, may I have a word."

After a long silence, it was time for the influential demon race elites, unable to accept such tyrannical rule, to prepare to voice their protest.

"If it’s an objection, then there’s no need to say it, I won’t listen."

Even though the demon speaking showed respect, and his tone was calm, like a good student raising his hand to speak in class, Lynn still gestured downward with his hand, indicating that different opinions would not be accepted.

"But... you want money, power, beautiful witches, control of the army — none of that is wrong, but you can’t have it all in one gulp. The Demon Realm is under your rule, but it is not your backyard!"

The demon race elite, enduring Illidan Demon Emperor’s gaze, forced these words out of his mouth. While he spoke, Illidan Demon Emperor didn’t lash out at him but his gaze had turned icy.

"Very well, you have courage, have you finished speaking?"

"Not yet, Demon Emperor, you..."

"Even if you haven’t finished, you can be on your way."

"Uh..."

After a brief dialogue, the demon race elite wanted to say more, but he could not speak anymore.

At some unknown point, Illidan Demon Emperor, standing proudly on the blood sacrificial altar in his dragon robe, had a broadsword in his hand, the blade glinting with a chilling light, sharp beyond measure.

And below the altar, the demon race elite who had spoken out in protest was clutching his head but could not weep, because his head was now held where his chest was, not on his neck.

"Next one."

Shaking the blade which had no blood on it, Lynn said coldly.

"His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, how can you publicly... uh!"

"Next one!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider... uh!"

"Next one!"

"Illidan Demon Emperor, you... uh!"

"Next one!"

...

"Next one!"

"Next one!"

...

His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, though merciful, would allow each demon questioning him to utter a soft "uh" before losing their heads, but at least they did not die in silence.

For those equipped with life-saving demon artifacts or substitute death demon artifacts, he thoughtfully provided value-added services to ensure they died swiftly.

In just three minutes, twenty bodies lay dead below the blood sacrificial altar, the weakest at level 550 and the strongest at level 810.

Lynn felt it was somewhat lacking; in the Miracle World, such carnage would mean the sky was falling, but in the Demon Realm, it didn’t even make the demon race flinch.

"Why are there no more? Where’s the next one?"

After the twentieth body was created on-site, Lynn waited a full thirty seconds, but no more from the demon race stepped forward.

"Those unwilling to sacrifice wealth, die!"

"Those unwilling to relinquish power, die!"

"Those defying military orders, die!"

"Those defying imperial orders, die!"

"I’ve said it, you must obey absolutely, there’s no other choice!"

With the broadsword still unstained with blood, the new Demon Dragon Emperor’s cold voice echoed in the venue, shaking the hearts of all demons.

"Let me tell you, this Demon Realm is now my backyard; I get what I want when I want it. All objections should be directed to the previous Dragon Emperor, I can send you to meet it for free!"

"Listen carefully, you have just one day to present your wealth, transfer power — everything must be completed within one day! Out of kindness, today is not counted, the day after tomorrow we’ll see results, any non-compliance will be executed without mercy!"

With his final words, Lynn plunged the broadsword into the blood sacrificial altar heavily, the "thud" sounding like a death knell, deafeningly loud.

Countless demon race elites remained silent, but most demons had only one thought.

Once we return, let’s rebel against him!

Not now, rebelling now would only lead to immediate death without even making a ripple.

The Guardian Demon God really chose the wrong demon this time. Illidan as a Demon Emperor might win the faith conflict, but before winning this war, the Demon Realm would have already collapsed!

Plundering wealth, hoarding power, seizing beauties...

Uh, is the last one included?

It should be included. Anyway, this Demon Emperor only gains respect through strength, the rest is incomparable to previous Demon Emperors, and clearly shows signs of a short life!

level is indeed invincible, but this is the start of the faith war, not even the early stage. Over eighty percent of the Demon Realm is still under Destruction Demon God’s influence, seizing power without progression, trying to grab it all at once, is that even possible!

Especially military power, immediately wanting to replace all legion commanders and vice-commanders, what a joke? Who will sit still for this?

Moreover, even if you manage it, can your close aides be accepted by the masses? Is it so easy to subdue a legion of tens of thousands of demons?

You, Illidan, may be an invincible existence, but such actions are detrimental, ultimately leading to self-destruction.

This realm’s billion-strong army, trillion demon race, can one demon oppress them all?

This faith war, Destruction Demon God is likely to win again, and the greatest contributor might just be Illidan...

Hmm? Could he be doing this on purpose?

On the surface acting as Guardian Demon God’s demon, but actually serving Destruction Demon God, using this ascension to forcibly stir public anger, not giving the Seven Great Demon Kings any time or chance to develop and launch the Guardian Demon God’s plan prematurely...

He...

A traitor! A mole!

The demon race elite, self-proclaimed as wise, suddenly realized, as if they’ve uncovered everything.

Then they should go along with it, return and raise the banner of rebellion, inside and outside liaison with Illidan Demon Emperor, overturn all Guardian Demon God’s arrangements!

Uh, those seven demon kings can be kept, allow Illidan Demon Emperor to try and win them over, after all, the 888-level demon kings are formidable forces, useful for Destruction Demon God breaking the world.

Even if they refuse to change their faith, rendering their magic power useless and keeping them as playthings, their distinct beauty as witches is rare for a millennium, directly killing them would be too wasteful.

"I’m weary, going to retreat to the Imperial Palace for rest, disperse. Remember to fulfill the imperial orders upon your return."

Meanwhile, part of the demon race elite were pondering, when Illidan Demon Emperor’s voice once again echoed from the blood sacrificial altar.

This time it was not a dominating declaration but a notice to adjourn, allowing them to leave.

Yes, yes, yes.

Time to coordinate well; after all, not every demon race has a brain. Better not to make mistakes in cooperation later, giving the opposing side opportunities, otherwise Illidan Demon Emperor’s meticulous plan and performance would be wasted.

And so, the demon race elites dispersed dramatically, but some went off calling friends, seeming to plan a gathering post-ceremony.

But...

Wasn’t there supposed to be a banquet at the Demon Emperor Palace after the coronation ceremony?

Oh... must hurry and inventory the assets, organize documents?

Otherwise, within a day and a half, time would indeed be quite tight.
