Chapter 436: Time to Wrap it Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Your Majesty, Marshal Quilin’s fleet has returned.”

In the palace of the Blue River Imperial Planet, Emperor Zhou Yan received a message.

Zhou Yan was tall, and his gaze was spirited, as if he was filled with energy. Originally, the technology of the Blue River Empire could allow people to live up to 500 years, but it could not stop people from aging.

However, Zhou Yan had ascended to the throne for more than a hundred years, but he had not aged at all. This made everyone in the empire very curious. They even suspected that there had been new breakthroughs in certain technologies.

“Marshal Quilin defeated the Nokis?” Zhou Yan asked in a low voice.

“According to Marshal Quilin’s report, the fleet has already occupied Planet Noki now.”

“Very good. I’ll celebrate Marshal Quilin’s success when he returns.”

A smile appeared on Zhou Yan’s face. He was clearly very satisfied with Quilin.

The many ministers below kept their mouths shut. Ever since Zhou Yan succeeded the throne, his performance had been very domineering. He had even used various methods to eliminate some ministers who opposed him, and even their clans.

His methods were very ruthless. Hence, the current Blue River Empire had long been under Zhou Yan’s control. No matter what decision Zhou Yan made, no one would dare to object.

About half an hour later, a tall old man strode in from outside. It was Marshal Quilin!

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Marshal Quilin bowed to Zhou Yan, followed by Lin Feng and Chen Feng. When some ministers saw Chen Feng, their eyes suddenly narrowed. They clearly knew Chen Feng’s identity.

However, they did not say anything. Just the thought of Marshal Quilin bringing wanted criminals of the empire to the palace so openly was chilling.

There would be no peace to be found today.

Zhou Yan did not notice Chen Feng. He was a high and mighty emperor. Naturally, he would not care about a mere wanted criminal.

Hence, Zhou Yan was still saying with a smile, “Marshal, you’ve worked hard. I heard that the battle against the Nokis went very smoothly?”

“Your Majesty, the Noki people have been defeated. We have also occupied Planet Noki. However, I encountered this young man on my return.”

“Young man?”

Zhou Yan frowned slightly. His gaze went straight past Quilin and landed on Chen Feng.

Even though he did not know Chen Feng’s identity, the people around him knew it very well. Hence, they discreetly reported it to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan’s expression changed slightly. Then, he said in a low voice, “Quilin, why did you bring the wanted criminal Chen Feng here?”

“Your Majesty, I just want to ask you one thing!”

“How dare you, Quilin. I think you have ulterior motives. Hmph, men, take down Quilin and the wanted criminal, Chen Feng!”

Zhou Yan shouted. Although he appeared full of confidence and very angry, anyone who looked closely could see that there was a hint of fear in Zhou Yan’s eyes.

“Who dares to move?”

Marshal Quilin’s guards immediately charged forward. Due to Marshal Quilin’s high status in the army, his guards could also follow him inside. However, no one expected Marshal Quilin to defect.

For a moment, the entire palace hall was surrounded by Quilin’s men.

Zhou Yan was so furious that his entire body was trembling. He said sternly, “Quilin, you want to rebel?”

“Your Majesty, this old official’s loyalty to the empire is verifiable! However, this old official has a question, and would like Your Majesty to answer it.”

“What question?”

Quilin immediately said loudly, “The 23rd to the 69th territorial planets have all become dead planets. What’s going on?”

At the same time, Quilin immediately presented the actual situation of the dozens of territorial planets to everyone.

Boom.

Everyone was stunned.

Dead planets? How was this possible?

Those territorial planets were the achievements of the empire over a hundred years. They had conquered planet after planet. Why had they all become dead planets now?

They believed in Marshal Quilin. Anyone could betray the empire, but not Marshal Quilin. Moreover, there was a video apart from the photo. Everything was presented clearly before their eyes. There was no mistake.

Those bare patches were shocking to look at.

If all the planets in the territory had become dead planets, what was the purpose of the empire spending countless resources and wealth and sacrificing hundreds of millions of soldiers every year?

Could all of it just be for those dead planets?

Impossible!

All the answers lay with Zhou Yan. If Zhou Yan could not answer, even if he was the emperor, it would probably be the end of his reign.

Zhou Yan’s face was stark white. He pointed at Marshal Quilin. His lips were trembling, but he could not say anything.

It was over. Everything was over. He knew that from now on, everything was over.

“Zhou Yan, tell me, why? What exactly did you do?”

Marshal Quilin almost roared. His identity as emperor aside, Zhou Yan was actually still his junior. Quilin was furious and only wished he could capture Zhou Yan and interrogate him carefully.

Zhou Yan’s face was pale, but suddenly, as if he had received a message, his entire body stopped trembling. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

“Heh, Marshal Quilin, and you ministers who are even more foolish than pigs, you haven’t discovered it for a hundred years. So what if you discover it now? I can live forever, and I can always be the emperor of the Blue River Empire. Then, I will always wage wars and conquer planets.”

“As for those planets, so what if they’re dead? They’re just contributing planets. Those lowly natives on them are not citizens of our Blue River Empire. What did I do wrong? Haha, I will still be the emperor. I will be the emperor for a thousand, no, ten thousand years. I will lead the Blue River Empire to become a powerful empire!”

“Therefore, everyone in my way must die!”

Zhou Yan pointed.

Swish. Swish. Swish.

Streaks of gray light flashed. Then, many ministers in the hall clutched their chests, as if in extreme pain. They gradually fell to the ground, without a trace of life.

Marshal Quilin was trembling all over. He was furious to the extreme.

“Fire, fire now!”

As Marshal Quilin roared, many of his guards immediately fired at Zhou Yan without hesitation.

Streaks of lasers shot at Zhou Yan, but there seemed to be an invisible protective shield around him, protecting him firmly.

Quilin felt even more despair. At this moment, he already believed that their emperor was no longer the intelligent, studious, and ambitious emperor of the past.

Instead, he had become the puppet of the fiend!

That’s right, a puppet. Emperor Zhou Yan was not a fiend. Everyone could tell.

“Haha, you can’t kill me. No one can kill me!”

Zhou Yan threw his head back and laughed aloud.

“Is that so?”

Lin Feng walked out. He had watched the show for long enough. It was time to wrap it up.
