Chapter 181: The Tyrannical Theory of the King of Double Happiness

Hearing the voice, Li Yu and the other Demon Star Order holders looked toward the entrance in unison.

Standing there was an old eunuch, his body reeking of filth, shouting at the group.

Since the Order holders present had been chosen to participate in the "Faction Slaughter" mission, none of them were weak or foolish.

Each had their own intelligence channels and already knew that the leader of this Faction Slaughter mission was the Eastern District hegemon, King Xi, who had entered the Weird Domain ahead of time, possessed a powerful native, and forcibly seized the initiative.

Before entering this Immortal Qin Fragmented Realm, everyone had also thoroughly researched the history relevant to this point in time.

Now, upon hearing the words "Grandpa Zhao Qian-sui," they exchanged glances and instantly understood who the person was.

"In the final days of the Immortal Qin, because the Lord of Immortal Qin fell into madness, the power of both the inner palace and the outer court was gradually seized by a eunuch called 【Zhao Qian-sui】."

"Ultimately, after the Lord of Immortal Qin died suddenly, in order to deceive the public and continue to rule the Immortal Qin in his name, it was this person who decided to stuff the corpse of this generation's hegemon into rotting, stinking fish to cover up the truth."

"Of course, those were no ordinary rotten fish, but a massive pile of corpses of the kin of the powerful True God, the 【Ming God】."

"Therefore, the target King Xi possessed must be this Zhao Qian-sui; otherwise, a high and mighty Grand Eunuch of the Immortal Qin inner palace would not have had a sudden whim to see this batch of so-called fledglings."

"But is possessing an ancient person really that simple?"

"That Zhao Qian-sui was able to reap the fruits of victory in the end, so he surely cannot be a mortal; he must be a high-sequence powerhouse of some path."

Harboring many doubts in his heart, Li Yu and the other Demon Star Order holders, who were also disguised as young eunuchs, walked out of the room together.

Just as they stepped out, they saw dozens of people walking out one after another from the neighboring large communal eunuch dormitories.

The Demon Star Order sent a notification: all were of the same faction.

"What a grand display; that's already over a hundred Demon Star Order holders."

"Judging from their Qi, everyone is very strong; they shouldn't all be citizens of Wanfu City."

"Although the 'Demon Star Descent' is a grand festival in Wanfu City, it does not mean the Demon Star Order only recruits holders in Wanfu City; there are many holders in other territories as well."

"In this world, besides the Three Kingdoms and the territory of Wanfu City, there are also quite a few human territories."

"Half are Sequence 7, half are Sequence 6."

"There are even a few at Sequence 5."

Li Yu stood at the doorway, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

It was indeed terrifyingly abnormal!

On this Immortal Qin inner palace corridor before him, the hundred-plus "fledgling eunuchs" who looked different in the eyes of others were, to Li Yu, clearly an extremely terrifying army of cultivators.

And, there was not a single low-sequence one among them.

The weakest were all Sequence 7.

As for the strongest, although Li Yu could not yet fully determine their paths, sequences, or what kind of supernatural abilities they possessed.

But judging solely from the strength of their Qi, a few had definitely entered the level of "Sequence 5."

One must know that the current Li Yu was still only a Sequence 6 Daoist Physician.

"Playing for such high stakes this time?"

"No buffer, no plot, just using this Immortal-Demon version of the late Qin as a venue, and we are about to enter the slaughter phase?"

"If over a hundred genius powerhouses from both the righteous and evil factions were to fight to the death, wouldn't they be able to smash this 【Immortal Qin Nest Capital】 to pieces?"

As if to refute this thought of Li Yu's.

No sooner had the thought arisen than a series of terrifying roars erupted from deep within this palace, which was luxurious to the extreme, towering and complex, yet permeated with gloom everywhere.

It was a voice that was incomparably overbearing, as if it were an absolute ruler.

Anyone, or even any living creature, had to undergo a check upon hearing it.

If they could not pass, they would suffer the terrifying impact of this demonic sound.

"Longevity! No, it is immortality."

"I am the Lord of Immortal Qin, the master of an eternal hegemony; I must attain immortality."

"I must also ascend to godhood; even the gods must bow before me."

"Lu Sheng, that shameless liar under the Spirit Venerable, one day I will surely flay you alive, not one left, not one left..."

Following these overbearing demonic sounds came waves of evil Qi that were violent to the extreme.

Like a storm, it swept through the entire palace.

For a time, no one was spared; all were affected.

Even the hundred-plus Demon Star Order holders who had just arrived here had to undergo the check.

And, almost no one passed.

Every person's expression changed from calm to terrified, and their bodies swayed unsteadily.

In their minds, a violent and filthy kingly figure appeared, roaring at them; above his head, a scarlet blood star representing death and disaster flickered, and behind him were endless black demonic soldiers, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood—a demon god in the world could be no more than this.

This sight caused the souls of the hundred-plus Demon Star Order holders to be crushed.

The old eunuch who had come to call them, however, was clearly very experienced.

As soon as the roar came, he knelt down on the spot to steady his body, prostrating toward a certain direction of the palace, muttering: "Your Majesty, calm your anger; Your Majesty will surely last for ten thousand generations, live forever, and enjoy immortal blessings eternally."

Of course, it was not as if no one passed the check.

For instance, Li Yu!

Even a proper Evil God found it difficult to corrupt him, let alone a failed god-ascender.

However, he was also startled; the phantom of the "Lord of Immortal Qin" that appeared in his mind was indeed shockingly powerful.

Comparing their souls, the Lord of Immortal Qin was like a towering mountain, while he was but a small mound.

"So powerful!"

"Worthy of being a Sequence 2 【Fluorescent War Immortal】, even if he is insane."

"Without even showing his face, just by roaring, he has placed the entire palace under his shadow."

"It seems that as long as he does not die, the fight between the two sides cannot enter that unmasked, white-hot stage."

"Otherwise, if either side were to annoy the Lord of Immortal Qin and he were to rush out from the deep palace and slaughter them, it would be no different from seeking death."

"The predecessors were ruthless enough in their actions, and their methods were mysterious; how did you manage to play such a powerhouse to death? How was it done?"

"You have all heard the holy voice of His Majesty; there will be plenty of opportunities to pay your respects in person later, and if you are lucky, you might even be left with a whole corpse."

"Now, follow me to see Grandpa Zhao Qian-sui."

While Li Yu was marveling in his heart, the old eunuch, whose body was covered in all sorts of filthy Qi, took advantage of the storm subsiding to quickly stand up, pat the dust from his knees, pinch his fingers into an orchid gesture, and say in a shrill voice.

The hundred-plus Demon Star Order holders, still shaken, followed subconsciously.

Very quickly, Li Yu and the others understood why this old eunuch had so much filthy Qi on him.

Nothing else!

Being in a shop of abalone, it was simply unavoidable.

Within this palace now, there was not a single clean or peaceful place to be found.

Walking along the way, every detail showed luxury and solemnity, but all were polluted by large amounts of filth.

Calling it "filth" did not seem quite appropriate.

It should be described as large quantities of powerful, strange objects of unknown origin and severe pollution being continuously transported by armies, eunuchs, and palace maids in various queues, like an assembly line, into the palace at the very center, which was completely shrouded in foul, bloody, and fleshy mist.

Li Yu had seen a similar scene in his first Weird Domain. The creator was, with high probability, also the corpse of a predecessor of the Spirit Venerable path.

But compared to the scene before him, that was naturally a minor matter.

It was not just Li Yu who was shocked; the other Demon Star Order holders were equally horrified. A holder suspected to be Sequence 5 could not help but mutter to himself upon seeing this:

"History records, the final days of the Immortal Qin."

"That Lord of Immortal Qin was completely insane, recklessly consuming all kinds of immortal elixirs and heavenly treasures, eventually burning himself to death; after he died suddenly, Zhao Qian-sui stuffed him into a pile of rotting corpses of the Ming God's kin, and a generation's hegemon was tragically humiliated."

"I didn't understand before; a Sequence 2 Fluorescent War Immortal, even if he ate divine-natured pollutants raw, shouldn't have died suddenly."

"Now it seems that he was able to hold on for a month; his cultivation base can be considered profound."

The words of this holder could only be heard in full by Li Yu and the other holders.

As for the old eunuch, perhaps due to the shielding of the Demon Star Order, he only heard a few words and assumed this young eunuch was horrified by the scene he saw.

He gave a sinister smile, then, with extreme malice and schadenfreude, said to the crowd:

"Don't panic, don't rush!"

=9+Shu_ba

"You lot, you are all going to join in."

"If you are lucky, you can die suddenly with a whole corpse."

"If you are unlucky, you will become snacks for His Majesty."

"If it's even worse, you'll be like me—neither human nor ghost, unable to live and unable to die, hahaha... a blessing, this is all a blessing for serving His Majesty."

The old eunuch seemed to laugh too excitedly, and a mutation immediately occurred on his body.

Pustules and tumors were born in the blink of an eye and burst directly; amidst the spraying pus, evil eyes filled with pain opened all over his body, and the clothes on him were torn apart by bone spurs.

Because of the unbearable itching, he had to extend a pair of mutated beast claws and scratch himself frantically.

Before long, the old eunuch had scratched himself into something no longer human.

The ground was covered with the foul, rotten flesh that had fallen from his body.

Seeing this scene, how could everyone not understand.

Everyone in this palace—palace maids, eunuchs, guards—had served the "Lord of Immortal Qin" for so long that they were all polluted.

If the Lord of Immortal Qin succeeded in his ascension to godhood!

Then these people would all be the kin of the dragon.

Those who were lucky might even ascend to the heavens in a single step.

It is a pity that the Qin Qin Zhizhu failed, and so these people ended up in such a state.

"Compared to that first main quest, 【Seize the Seal】, I would rather do the second one."

"Hunting down those fellows from the Orthodox God faction is indeed better than stealing the Immortal Qin Jade Seal."

After these two sentences were uttered by a certain Order Master, they quickly gained the approval of the crowd.

Even the few Sequence Five Order Masters, after witnessing and feeling it, all fell into silence.

Now everyone knows!

Within the Immortal Qin Jade Seal, there is a high probability that a large amount of divine origin is hidden, as well as an incomplete path to godhood.

After stealing it, whether it is sacrificed to the Demon Star Order or taken away from the Weird Domain to be kept for oneself, there are unimaginable, huge benefits.

But the problem is, how to steal it?

Can one survive after making a move?

That is a Sequence Two 【Fluorescent Ice Immortal】 who has gone completely insane.

If one truly angers him, every living creature in the entire Weird Domain will be wiped out.

Even the "Joy King" who just possessed Zhao Zhao Qiansui, this old Prince from the present world who possesses the royal bloodline of the Qian Kingdom, likely would not be a match for the Qin Qin Zhizhu in a single exchange.

Thinking of him, it was not long before they saw the person.

It was in a palace far from the Qin Qin Zhizhu, located in a corner of the imperial palace, yet equally exceptionally luxurious.

Including Li Yu, over a hundred Demon Star Order Masters met their faction leader for this campaign mission together.

At the same time, he is also a legendary figure of Wanfu City.

The master of the East District Joy King Mansion, the Zhao family's Joy King.

Among the rumors, this person Zhao Xi is an old pervert known to everyone in Wanfu City, and even the entire Qian Kingdom.

He loves to eat brains and livers, and views human life as mere grass.

There are not a few cultivators with such behaviors and concepts.

But there are not many who advertise it as blatantly as he does.

Using the words he said himself when he fled the Qian Kingdom's imperial capital, in front of the Qian Kingdom's Founding Emperor and a crowd of commoners:

"I, Zhao Xi, am born noble; although I have a human body, I am superior to the human race, not to mention that you commoners are my Zhao family's subjects, receiving the Zhao family's grace and enjoying the Zhao family's protection. So what if this Prince occasionally eats some brains and livers?"

"My actions are just like commoners usually slaughtering pigs and sheep for food, and perhaps even better."

"Because I have peerless culinary skills; if there are excellent livers and brains, this Prince does not mind cooking them myself, and preparing them well."

It is said that when Zhao Xi uttered these words back then, it not only stunned the people of the whole city and the Qian Kingdom's Founding Emperor, but even the Earth Mother Sect experts who came to hunt him down were stunned for a moment.

"Shameless" can no longer be used to describe him; one can only say he is a "born pervert."

Because of these rumors!

In everyone's subconscious impression, the Joy King should be an old man with a gloomy appearance, exuding a violent and disgusting aura.

Since he possessed Zhao Zhao Qiansui, he should be an old Eunuch with such a temperament.

Coincidentally, in historical records, this Zhao Zhao Qiansui was indeed described as having such an appearance.

However, when everyone entered the palace and saw the so-called "Zhao Zhao Qiansui," looks of surprise and shock appeared in their eyes.

At the head of the hall, there was a luxurious square table.

A middle-aged man was dining in front of the table; his appearance was extremely handsome, and although he was fair-faced and beardless, it did not make one feel disgusted at all; instead, one felt that this person was elegant and charming.

And his movements while dining perfectly matched this impression.

Every move was like an elegant immortal.

Even though everyone could see clearly that the dishes he was eating were some incredibly fresh brains and livers that had only undergone simple processing.

As for the source?

Perhaps the beauty's head placed in an exquisite ice box at the corner of the table could serve as evidence.

When those pieces of raw-cut liver and brain entered his mouth, drops of bright red blood spilled out, staining his lips red and adding a trace of demonic, weird temperament to him.

Elegant as an immortal, yet his actions were more demonic than a demon.

Should one say he is worthy of being the Joy King!

After the other Order Masters were surprised, their impressions of the Joy King changed one after another.

And Li Yu sighed quietly in his heart:

"It is exactly as I imagined!"

"I don't need to know what the Joy King originally looked like, but I know exactly what a cultivator of the Forbidden God path looks like after entering a high sequence."

"More elegant and charming than almost all humans in the world, and at the same time, feeding on humans—this is the powerhouse of the Forbidden God path."
