Chapter 865: The existence who commands the Tianhe Water Army

The eunuch standing beside the Emperor, seeing the Emperor's expression change, immediately understood his intent and spoke in his shrill voice:

"Lord Li, this is slander; this is measuring a gentleman's belly with a petty man's heart."

"The arrival of Marshal Tianpeng represents the imminent restoration of our dynasty. Even such a powerful centipede demon has been exterminated. Now, not to mention the capital, even in the surrounding counties, is there anywhere that does not show signs of demons retreating?"

"All these things signify that our humanity is gradually flourishing, and our Emperor is the very monarch of restoration for our dynasty, a wise ruler who will leave his name in history..."

As the eunuch spoke, he kept observing the changes in the Emperor's expression from the corner of his eye.

The current Emperor, upon hearing the eunuch's words, not only saw his expression relax, but even his coughing stopped.

Seeing the change in the Emperor's face, the eunuch's tone became even more firm.

"If not for Marshal Tianpeng descending to the mortal world, we would have long since been... our flesh and blood devoured by that centipede demon, and even the fortune of our nation would have been mostly seized by it."

"Fortunately, Marshal Tianpeng descended, not only killing the centipede demon that harmed our dynasty but also restoring our nation's fortune."

"Under such circumstances, facing a benefactor who saved our dynasty from collapse, and is even more so your and my savior, not only do you not think of gratitude, but you dare to speak such rebellious words—you deserve to die!"

"Deserve to die..."

The white-haired old man, hearing these words, could not help but smile bitterly, preparing to say something.

However, he was tugged by the hem of his robe by a friend beside him.

"Li Qingyun, say no more."

Li Qingyun looked at his friend, who was full of worry for him, and could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

Yet after this, Li Qingyun took a step forward, bowing to the Emperor again and again, even knocking his forehead until it bled.

His tone was choked with emotion: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the imperial court, for the sake of the people of the world, this humble official has long since disregarded his own life."

"If my life alone can restore Your Majesty's will, then this life of mine is not worth keeping."

"I only hope that when Your Majesty governs the world, you will not be played in the palms of any demons or immortals, leaving the people of the world to their fate..."

As soon as Li Qingyun finished speaking, he charged directly toward the large pillar beside him.

However, this death-defying collision of Li Qingyun's did not have any effect.

Instead, it was as if he had hit cotton, and he did not suffer the slightest injury.

"Old Li, you care for the nation, why seek death..."

At this moment, outside the main hall of the imperial palace, a majestic and extraordinary man walked in; it was none other than Marshal Tianpeng.

Although Marshal Tianpeng had restrained his aura, the temperament he possessed—that temperament of commanding a thousand armies—was such that one could not forget it after a single glance.

Although Marshal Tianpeng was a minor character in the Primordial World, he was still the existence who commanded the Tianhe Water Army. ===== CHAPTER 867 =====
