" What did you say?!"
Emperor Qian's eyes were filled with confusion.
This news came too suddenly, and he didn't even know how to react.
"Your Majesty, it should be an immortal.”
The Imperial Army soldiers also gritted their teeth.
"Forty-seven criminals were all beheaded. Everything went smoothly.”
"However, there was one person who did not die after being beheaded. His human body broke free from the rope and reattached his head.”
"This scene is extremely similar to the legendary decapitated rebirth technique…If you aren't an immortal, how could you have such a strange technique?”
As they spoke, their voices became softer and softer, as if there were thorns on their backs. They could only feel a heavy pressure pressing down on them.
Emperor Qian's gaze turned colder and colder as they recounted the story. A bone-piercing killing intent had already appeared in his bloodshot eyes.
" You dare to lie to me?!"
Obviously, he didn't believe it.
Seeking immortality was naturally what he had always been doing.
However, after more than ten years of failure, he had already lost all hope.
As the supreme being in the mortal world, he even began to doubt the existence of immortals. If it existed, why was there no lack of people in this world who could see immortals, but he was the only one who could not?
Now, killing people continuously was more like a way to vent and take revenge.
If the Taoist immortals don't give me longevity, then I will kill all your descendants!
Emperors in their twilight years were the most brutal.
He was like an old lion that still had to show off its claws and teeth more fiercely than when it was young to intimidate the world.
But now, what did he hear?
The immortals had really appeared?
How could he believe this so easily?
Even the servants present looked at everyone in disbelief.
They obviously didn't believe it either.
A few years ago, many people had sought out "True Immortals" in order to gain favor, but they were all proven to be unworthy of their reputation. In the end, those people were all implicated, exiled, or killed.
By now, no one dared to "offer immortals" anymore.
A mere official and a few Imperial Army soldiers dared to commit such a great taboo?
"Your Majesty, everything we say is true!”
The execution supervisor hurriedly bowed, his head hitting the ground with a heavy thud. His voice was urgent and sincere.
"There are witnesses for this matter!"
"The executioner was the witness. He witnessed the whole incident and even talked to the immortal.”
"The people in the city are also witnesses. When the immortal used the special technique, many people were there…This matter is absolutely true.”
The Imperial Army soldiers also cried out for injustice. Their words were firm and did not seem to be lies.
Emperor Qian's expression wavered.
The coldness in his eyes grew stronger, but within that coldness, there was a fervent hope.
Could it be that an immortal had descended?
How could these people dare to lie to him?
How would he dare to say such a lie that could be exposed with a single poke?
He immediately gave her a look.
Immediately, a eunuch walked out of the palace to investigate.
He came back very quickly, giving people the feeling that he had just left the palace gate and ran back.
The eunuch knelt on the ground and said in disbelief.
"What they said is indeed true. The entire city is discussing this matter. Many people claim to have seen it with their own eyes!”
Hiss!
Emperor Qian gasped.
Then, his breathing became heavier.
His aged face flushed red as he asked with a trembling voice, as if he was pinching his throat.
"There really is an Immortal…He, where is he? When can I see him?"
The few of them fell silent.
This made Emperor Qian feel uneasy.
The executioner was extremely nervous, but at this moment, he could only answer truthfully even if he gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, the immortal left after receiving the head…"
What?
Emperor Qian couldn't hold it in any longer. He stood up abruptly and kicked the table in front of him away as he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Do you know that I have been seeking immortality for more than ten years, but I haven't seen any trace of him? Now that he is here, you actually didn't stop him…"
"Could it be, could it be that all of you are traitors and do not want me to live forever?”
"Do you really think I'm not good at this?"
Emperor Qian had never been so furious before. At this moment, he was already looking for his emperor's sword.
He was filled with killing intent and was no longer willing to rely on others. He even wanted to personally kill these idiots with his sword!
That was the immortal he had painstakingly searched for, but he had actually let him escape just like that!
This crime should be exterminated!
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses fell on the ground and blood flowed thousands of miles.
How could the few of them withstand such killing intent?
The Imperial Army soldiers were already lying on the ground, their teeth chattering. The executioner could only speak in a broken voice.
"Immortal, Immortal wants to leave. We can't stop him. Before we can do anything, he's already gone…"
Here, he lied a little.
Ye Yuan left in front of them. As for them, they did not stop him at all. At that time, they were all shocked and no one dared to make a move.
But he definitely couldn't report it like that, so the supervisor changed his words slightly.
However, because of his guilty conscience, he immediately added after saying this.
"But before the Immortal left, he left behind a message…"
Emperor Qian's blood-red eyes widened.
"Speak!"
The supervisor swallowed his saliva.
"Immortal, the immortal said that he came to Plentiful City because he had a fate with His Majesty…But, but His Majesty had already personally cut off this fate…The immortal also said that the fate has been destroyed and the fate has been empty…Since the Son of Heaven personally cut off the immortal fate, why force him to meet again?”
Hearing this, Emperor Qian became even angrier.
" Nonsense. I have never met him. When did I cut off my fate with a knife? I…"
As he spoke, his face suddenly turned pale as he realized something.
"I understand, I understand…"
After all, he was once an emperor with great talent and strategy, so he had a certain amount of wisdom.
He immediately realized what Ye Yuan was talking about.
In other words, when the immortal came to him, he was pushed to the entrance of the market and beheaded.
This slash was neither painful nor itchy to the Immortal, but in fact, it had already broken the fate between the two parties.
In an instant, Emperor Qian felt a mix of emotions. He sat down dejectedly, his head buzzing and his gray beard trembling. There was nothing more devastating than hope coming and then being destroyed.
He had never felt so lost in his life.
"This, how can this be blamed on zhen? Since he has celestial spells, why didn't he show them earlier? Why…"
After a long time, he muttered to himself as if he was trying to explain something, but he felt more empty.
At this moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.
No one dared to speak.
The golden palace fell into absolute silence.
"I understand. The immortal is dissatisfied with me killing the innocent…"
Finally, Emperor Qian seemed to understand something. He smiled bitterly and said,"
"Could it be that this is the revenge of the immortals? Ha, haha, hahaha…"
He felt like the heavens were playing a joke on him.
He was close to getting it, but then he lost it forever.
"Your Majesty, fate can be broken or renewed. Everything depends on one's efforts…If Your Majesty is sincere, there might be a turning point.”
When Emperor Qian was at his most desolated, perhaps the executioner was lucky enough to have the courage to comfort him.
However, this sentence had its effect.
It was like a drowning man who had found a life-saving straw.
"Yes, there might still be a chance!"
Emperor Qian woke up from his dream and quickly stood up.
"Immediately send out the Imperial Army, the infantry yamen, and the black-robed envoys…pass down orders to all the yamen to search for the Immortal at all costs!”
"In addition, prepare the Four Treasures of the Study for Zhen. Zhen will immediately write a self-reproaching edict and issue it to the world as soon as possible.”
"Also, find the families of the Daoists who were killed and give them compensation. Those who don't have family members should be buried as lavishly as possible.”
" Right, release the group of Daoists who were pushed out of the palace gate. Don't hurt them at all…"
"And…"
Everyone present was dumbstruck. They had never seen Emperor Qian so flustered.
He was like a child who had made a mistake and wanted to make up for it at all costs.
