Chapter 125: Shamelessly Stealing Credit

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Shamelessly Stealing Credit

The Nine Dragon Celestial King was panicking!

He was truly panicking.

He drew the Celestial King Sword from his waist and pointed it at Qin Tianxuan and Wutian. "You... you’re still laughing!"

Qin Tianxuan stood up coolly. With a flick of his finger, the Nine Dragon Celestial King’s sword flew from his grasp with a BUZZ.

Staring at the clowns before him, Qin Tianxuan’s expression was calm as he stated, word by word, "The Celestial Demons are annihilated!"

The Celestial Demons are annihilated!

Five words!

Enough to shake the entire room!

Everyone shot to their feet.

"Night Emperor, if you... if you dare to file a false military report, it’s an executable offense!"

"That’s right! You... don’t spout nonsense!"

The Ye Celestial King scrambled up from his sickbed and rushed frantically before Qin Tianxuan. "Are the Celestial Demons really annihilated? You... you better not be lying to me!"

After their initial shock, these clowns were all in disbelief.

"Night Emperor, that was the Celestial Demon allied army! Our two great families and six Celestial Kings have exhausted ourselves, yet we couldn’t even find the location of the enemy’s headquarters. And now you’re telling me you wiped them all out? Who would believe that!"

"Yeah! Intel said there were at least forty thousand Celestial Demons! Even if you were slaughtering forty thousand fucking pigs, it wouldn’t be this fast!"

Qin Tianxuan stood proudly, seeing no need to explain.

At this moment, even the Celestial Pavilion Elders and the War Gods of the Battle Department wore expressions of doubt.

"Ah, Night Emperor, we’ve always supported you, but you just arrived at the Battle Department and you’re already claiming to have annihilated the Celestial Demons. This... this is just too far-fetched."

Qin Tianxuan scoffed. "I’ll say it again: The Celestial Demons are annihilated!"

Everyone exchanged glances. Before they could speak, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Strategy officers from the various Battle Departments of the Northern Domain burst in, looking like they had gone mad!

"Reporting! The Celestial Demons have been annihilated! All forty thousand remnants have been wiped out!"

"Reporting! The Celestial Demon Headquarters has been taken! We’ve discovered the Night Emperor’s Nine Armies cleaning up the battlefield!"

"Reporting! The threat in the desert is gone! It was the Night Emperor who eliminated the Celestial Demons!"

There was no doubt!

Qin Tianxuan had truly annihilated the Celestial Demons’ army of forty thousand.

With a THUD, several of the Celestial Pavilion Elders collapsed onto the floor in joy. They hugged each other, laughing and crying.

The Twelve War Gods of the Battle Department, however, had fervent looks in their eyes. They came before Qin Tianxuan in perfect formation.

They dropped to their knees in unison, raising the longswords from their waists. "Seven hours! It only took you seven hours, Night Emperor, to wipe out the Celestial Demons! An enemy that plagued us for over a hundred days... you completely annihilated them in less than seven hours! You are truly worthy of being called the invincible Night Emperor!"

They kowtowed with devout reverence. At this moment, in their eyes, the man before them was already a god!

Behind them, Wutian of the War Pavilion unceremoniously collected the twelve War God swords.

’This can be a small reward for our master. It’ll be a fine addition to his collection in the warehouse.’

Qin Tianxuan glanced at the War Gods and made a gentle gesture for them to rise. "For the country and its people, a swift victory was necessary. The Northern Domain is where my brothers and I once shed our blood. So, there is no need for this. Even if you hadn’t summoned me, I would have come all the same!"

At that moment, the Celestial Pavilion Elders were all moved to tears.

They hadn’t put their faith in the wrong person. Their persistence had been right!

In the critical moment, in the time of crisis, only Night Emperor Celestial Profound could step forward.

He truly is a pillar holding up the heavens, an Unrivaled National Hero!

"Night Emperor, we old men kowtow to you! We will report to the Imperial Capital Celestial Hall at once and request commendation for your achievements!"

Qin Tianxuan said nothing. He didn’t place much importance on merits and accolades.

But at this moment, the expressions of the two Qin Family Elders changed.

’We went to so much trouble to finally suppress this Night Emperor, we even announced to the world that he had been sacrificed. And now they suddenly want to request a commendation for him?’

’Wouldn’t that allow the Night Emperor to make a comeback and once again become the War God of Da Xia?’

’No!’

’This must be stopped.’

"Wait, I believe there’s a problem with this matter!" one of the Qin Family Elders said with a sinister smile. "Just before the Night Emperor went into battle, our family’s Qin Wuhui was leading thirty thousand men and had already defeated the main force of the Celestial Demons!"

What?!

Wutian and the others trembled with rage.

They were actually trying to steal the credit!

The other members of the Ye and Qin Families also snapped to their senses, all clamoring at once, "The Defender General at the front wasn’t the Night Emperor, it was Ye Tianlong! In fact, if the Ye Celestial King hadn’t beaten the Celestial Demons into full retreat, how could the Night Emperor possibly have defeated them in just seven hours?"

For a moment, the scene descended into chaos.

Everyone was scrambling to claim the credit.

Wutian and his men looked on with burning fury!

Just then, a message suddenly arrived from the Intelligence Hall.

"Reporting! The Celestial Demon King has appeared near the Battle Department with his last remaining forces! It seems he’s looking for revenge!"

The power of a Demon King was not to be underestimated.

A glint flashed in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. "Wutian, now is not the time to be asking for commendations. What is ours, no one can take away. You all deploy defenses immediately. Be wary of a sneak attack from the Demon King!"

Wutian and the others accepted the order, knowing this was the more important matter!

They were all the Night Emperor’s subordinates and trusted their leader. Knowing the credit wouldn’t be stolen from them, they immediately withdrew.

Seeing that Qin Tianxuan’s men had all left, the people from the Qin and Ye Families grew even more frenzied.

They argued incessantly, conferring in secret, and finally produced a list of merits.

"In this battle, Qin Wuhui’s army of thirty thousand defeated the main Celestial Demon force. This is the first-class merit!"

"The Ye Celestial King’s staunch defense is a second-class merit!"

"The Nine Dragon Celestial King and the others providing reinforcements is a third-class merit!"

"As for the Night Emperor’s division, for cleaning up the remnants on the battlefield, that can also be considered a contribution. Let’s make it a fourth-class merit!"

The Celestial Pavilion Elders and the War Gods of the Battle Department simply couldn’t watch any longer. They roared in unison, "That’s not how you steal credit! We’ve all seen the front-line reports clearly! From start to finish, you were the ones losing the battles! If you continue to be this shameless, we will report this to the Imperial Capital, even if it costs us our lives!"

These old, meritorious officials from the Imperial Capital absolutely held authority.

The eyes of the Qin and Ye Family members darted about, and they wrung their hands anxiously.

Just then, the two Qin Family Elders suddenly smiled at Qin Tianxuan. "Night Emperor, how about we find a place to have a private chat?"
