Chapter 867: An immortal descended from the Immortal Realm

Not to mention anything else, let us just speak of the time after Marshal Tianpeng killed the centipede demon Cihang Pudu.

Within the imperial court, the officials were divided into two factions; one faction believed that Marshal Tianpeng was no different from the centipede demon Cihang Pudu.

The reason for exterminating the centipede demon Cihang Pudu was merely that he had set his sights on things like the dynasty's fortune.

This faction was led by Li Qingyun.

The other faction believed that Marshal Tianpeng was an immortal descended from the Immortal Realm and was as different from the centipede demon Cihang Pudu as heaven and earth.

Not to mention how much more powerful Marshal Tianpeng's strength was compared to the centipede demon Cihang Pudu, the very temperament Marshal Tianpeng possessed was not something the mortal world could possess.

Moreover, the two factions were not evenly matched; rather, the side supporting Marshal Tianpeng held the upper hand.

Therefore, after Marshal Tianpeng killed the centipede demon Cihang Pudu, the Emperor even dragged his sick body and led the civil and military officials to pay respects to Marshal Tianpeng.

Regarding the mortal Emperor, Marshal Tianpeng originally did not want to see him, but upon second thought, his mission was to protect a portion of the human race.

So, wanting to obtain more exchange points naturally meant that Marshal Tianpeng had to put more effort into this mission.

Only in this way could he be judged by the system to have sufficient contribution points in this mission.

Then, wanting to achieve this naturally meant needing to protect more of the human race.

However, Marshal Tianpeng was only one person, and he had a special mission to investigate, so it was impossible to focus entirely on protecting the human race.

So, under these circumstances, Marshal Tianpeng naturally thought of joining forces with mortals.

The best choice among them was the mortal kingdom; therefore, under these circumstances, Marshal Tianpeng changed his mind and met with the Emperor and the civil and military officials in the capital.

After this, Marshal Tianpeng put forward two requests: the first was to have the Emperor issue an order to report any news of demons, ghosts, or monsters appearing within the dynasty's jurisdiction.

In this way, Marshal Tianpeng would be able to free up sufficient time to investigate the special mission, and he would not neglect one thing while attending to another, leading to low contribution points for protecting the human race.

As for why Marshal Tianpeng did not let the imperial court order an investigation into the special mission?

How could a mere mortal imperial court possibly know about the special mission?

As for the second request, it was that there be enough good wine and meat.

Marshal Tianpeng was also very gluttonous in the original Primordial history, although there was the reason of being reincarnated as a pig demon.

But it was more because Marshal Tianpeng himself was like that.

So now that the mortal Emperor respected him so much, Marshal Tianpeng would not be polite.

Regarding Marshal Tianpeng's requests, the Emperor naturally satisfied them without any conditions.

After this, Marshal Tianpeng even took action to save the Emperor, who had been on the verge of death.

However, Marshal Tianpeng's action was merely to sustain the Emperor's life so that he would not die in such a short time.

It was not that Marshal Tianpeng lacked the strength to restore the Emperor's body, but because Marshal Tianpeng knew very well that to make the Emperor work for him wholeheartedly, he had to keep the Emperor's appetite whetted.

That was why Marshal Tianpeng did not let the Emperor's body fully recover.

"Ah! Marshal Tianpeng has arrived in person, this little Emperor... this little Emperor..." ===== CHAPTER 869 =====
