Chapter 1240 - 1238: Monarch Court’s Blueprint—Subduing the King of Assassins and the Future Master of the Dark Department

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1238: Monarch Court’s Blueprint—Subduing the King of Assassins and the Future Master of the Dark Department

The visitor had long blood-colored hair, and his clothes were antiquated.

There were faint signs of the Blood Demon Ring surrounding him.

Although he didn’t actively release that aura.

But the faint Emperor’s Might still caused a slight tremor in this place.

This figure was unmistakably the Master of Blood Slaughter, the King of Assassins in the Emperor Realm, Gou Sheng.

This is the Jun Family Ancestral Land. His presence here is evidently permitted by Jun Xiaoyao.

After the Immortal Battle against the Three Great Assassin Divine Dynasties ended.

The King of Assassins also returned to the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm with the Monarch Court’s entourage.

Even the Jun Family cannot ignore such a Great Emperor.

However, fortunately, he has been suppressed by the Mother of the Other Shore Flower, with a Destruction Mark inside him, monitoring his every move.

If he makes the slightest reckless move, he will immediately perish.

The Destruction Mark left by a Supreme Emperor is not easily removed.

Now, only Jun Xiaoyao can command the King of Assassins.

At this moment, the King of Assassins finally regained some of his Emperor demeanor.

After all, earlier, he was nearly driven mad by the Nine-headed Lion, losing all of his Great Emperor dignity.

Now, seeing Jun Xiaoyao, the King of Assassins’ eyes showed a trace of surprise.

"Besieged by Three Quasi-Emperors, finally self-destructing; rumors outside said you were seriously injured, but it seems you fooled everyone."

The king’s deep blood-red pupils then shifted to look at Xiaoxue, who was sleeping beside Jun Xiaoyao.

His pupils suddenly contracted, sensing an aura that even he was somewhat afraid of.

"No wonder..."

The King of Assassins thought to himself.

Jun Xiaoyao looked at the King of Assassins.

Facing a Great Emperor, he remained calm and serene, saying: "I heard that earlier, my mount, the Nine-headed Lion, nearly drove you insane?"

The King of Assassins’ cheek twitched slightly.

This was hitting the sore spot.

He suspected he might soon hear the name Shit Pit Emperor.

"Humph, if it’s just to humiliate this Emperor, then forget it."

"I really didn’t expect a Supreme Emperor could make a move for you."

"But if the rest of my life is just humiliation, I’d rather all burn."

Though the King of Assassins had a strong will to survive.

He wouldn’t stoop to living ignobly.

"Haha, you definitely overthought it." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

"Honestly, I admire people like you, King of Assassins. Better to live poorly than to die well."

"The living can be a Great Emperor, but the dead have nothing but dust and reputation."

"Being adaptable reveals a hero’s true nature."

Jun Xiaoyao’s words made the King of Assassins somewhat uncomfortable.

He thought Jun Xiaoyao would humiliate him as a means to tame him.

Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mean that at all.

"Do you think that with a few words, this Emperor would become your slave, utterly devoted to you?" the King of Assassins said.

"Now to you, I may just seem like a slightly talented and influential junior."

"But trust me, it won’t take long. In this world, there will be one more who proves their Dao."

"In the near future, following me will be an honor, not your dark history."

Jun Xiaoyao spoke with calm confidence, causing even the King of Assassins to take notice.

If others said such words, it would certainly sound like boasting.

But when Jun Xiaoyao said it, it somehow felt inevitable.

"I have plans for the Monarch Court, to establish Six Departments."

"Among them, one is called the Dark Department, dedicated to assassination, the dagger in the shadows."

"If you join, you will be the Master of the Dark Department."

Jun Xiaoyao’s words made the King of Assassins show a different expression.

He laughed coldly: "This Emperor won’t be the Master of Blood Slaughter, and now you want me to be your Master of Dark Department?"

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and laughed: "I promise, the Monarch Court will be billions of times stronger than Blood Slaughter, and even... could replace the Immortal Court!"

Jun Xiaoyao’s words left the King of Assassins stunned.

The Monarch Court could replace the Immortal Court?

The King of Assassins found it laughable, yet couldn’t laugh.

Because at that moment, Jun Xiaoyao’s demeanor and power truly felt like that of the Lord of the Imperial Court, seemingly able to make all beings bow!

For some reason, the King of Assassins couldn’t muster any words of rebuttal.

Jun Xiaoyao continued: "A hero doesn’t care about origins, King of Assassins, make your choice."

"If you don’t agree, I won’t force you; you can leave directly, but the Destruction Mark inside you will remain to prevent revenge."

"If you agree, you will be a part of the Monarch Court, with all the dignity and treatment you deserve; no one will dare see you as a servant."

Jun Xiaoyao’s words were firm.

He didn’t need insincere people.

Regardless of being a Great Emperor.

If forced, even if accepted into the Monarch Court, problems would arise later.

Not to mention the King of Assassins, whose temperament is somewhat cruel and twisted.

Upon hearing this, the King of Assassins first stayed silent, then laughed aloud to the sky.

"Haha, a hero doesn’t care about origins, what a hero doesn’t care about origins!"

"I, Gou Sheng, my entire family was exterminated, survived the Shit Pit, was ridiculed, mocked, oppressed by others."

"But in the end, I slaughtered my way through, proving the Dao with killing."

"What birth means nothing, a hero doesn’t care about origins, I like this phrase!"

"Jun Xiaoyao, you are an interesting person. Why not play this round with you!"

For a long time, the King of Assassins’ mental block was his origins and tragic past.

So whenever someone mentioned Gou Sheng or Shit Pit Emperor, he would become enraged.

And now, Jun Xiaoyao’s phrase, a hero doesn’t care about origins, completely untangled his mental block!

What of the past, the future decides everything!

"It’s a deal." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"It’s a deal!" The King of Assassins laughed heartily.

Who would have thought.

The Monarch Court’s Dark Department, which later incited dread across all heavens and realms like a ferocious tiger, was established under such circumstances.

And this Master of the Dark Department, the King of Assassins, would become a senior leader of Monarch Court, known as the living King Yama who makes the cosmos tremble!

This King of Assassins was thoroughly subdued.

Watching the departing figure of the King of Assassins, Jun Xiaoyao smiled contentedly.

In matters of manipulating hearts, Jun Xiaoyao was astute, with deep thoughts.

"Next is the Forgotten Realm, what clues does Wuzhong’s Desolate Emperor hold?"

...

Several months have passed.

On this day, within the Chaos Celestial Immortal Realm.

The enigmatic Yinghuo Demon Star suddenly radiated bright, blood-like crimson light.

The vast blood-red radiance flashed into the depths of the cosmos, crafting a brilliant streak of red.

It seemed to open up a world.

A hazy and indistinct world suddenly reflected within the blood-red radiance.

Extending endlessly, ancient beyond measure, as if it had slumbered for numerous eras, finally awakened.

"It’s appeared, the entrance to the Forgotten Realm is about to open!"

"This is one of the Seven Great Wonders of the Immortal Realm, truly curious to know how unbelievable it is!"

Countless cultivators were marveling.

But many could only observe from outside the Chaos Celestial Immortal Realm.

Suddenly, the resounding sound of a bell rang out.

It was the Immortal Court’s Immortal Bell ringing.

It declared that the Nine Great Immortal Dynasties would gather, and the Forgotten Realm expedition was about to commence.

Amongst them, were the Ancient Immortal Court relics.

The Celestial Prides of the Nine Great Immortal Dynasties, along with their followers, will engage in intense competition!
