Chapter 948 (Reason: The Deadline Has Arrived)
Within the Voidless Empire! I am the heavens!
If you dare to challenge the heavens, you are courting destruction!
It seems my benevolence has made you think I am easy to bully, hasn't it?
Look at Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi, they are now completely submissive to me. After all the trash talk they threw at me, they now understand the extent of my retaliation.
Wei Chang and Lie Gu, who are following behind Ye Hua, sense a scent of blood.
This feeling is truly delightful. It brings back memories of the good old times, when the air was filled with the scent of blood, like the fragrance of burning heat. It's intoxicating, and one can't help but be immersed in it.
At this moment, those sitting in front of the palace gates are unaware of what is about to happen. They still wear an arrogant expression, seemingly fearless of authority. Their expressions are well-maintained, and their aura is not bad, but they only dare to sit quietly.
But they know that the Emperor will not kill, as he follows a policy of appeasement.
Having sat for several days without the Emperor appearing, they must be getting anxious.
The Voidless Empire is formidable, but this Emperor lacks decisiveness in matters of life and death.
In other countries, faced with such a situation, people would have been arrested and executed long ago, but here... there's no need to be afraid.
Moreover, there's a large crowd marching; they don't believe the Emperor dares to kill them all.
If he dares, he'll be labelled a bloodthirsty tyrant.
As these thoughts cross their minds, the palace gate emits a muffled sound, creaking and groaning...
A slender shadow appears first.
The Emperor is coming out!
Everyone is surprised that the Emperor chose this moment to make an appearance.
What does this mean?
Feeling the majesty of the imperial power, everyone lowers their heads slightly.
Ye Hua looks at the broad square, where hundreds of people are sitting quietly, banners overhead expressing dissatisfaction, claiming that the support faction is allowed to stay within the empire.
Seeing these banners, Ye Hua is enraged. He provides them with food, drinks, entertainment, and even ensures their safety, yet they are still ungrateful, demanding more!
"I, as the Emperor, ask you, why are you sitting here?" Ye Hua stands with his hands behind his back and asks calmly.
People look at each other, feeling a bit unsure. When the Emperor comes out, they realise they should be afraid!
What is this imperial authority!
"I ask you again!" Ye Hua's tone becomes heavier, and everyone feels their hearts pounding, as if they are about to explode. They can't utter a word.
At this moment, a person who seems to be the leader stands up, even raising his head high: "I believe that the Voidless Empire needs an upright Emperor, not one who tolerates the existence of the foreign race!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone changed. If they were to face death, it would be all because of this man.
Ye Hua squinted his eyes slightly and then said casually, "Arrest them all."
"Yes!" Wei Chang waved his hand, and countless black-armoured soldiers poured out from the palace. The small square in front of the palace immediately erupted in cries, and some people even started hurling insults.
"Tyrant! Incompetent ruler!"
"The Voidless Empire is doomed to perish in your hands!"
"You useless Emperor, you're not worthy!"
Ye Hua chuckled, turning to face them. "You might not know, but in this world, the only one who can destroy the Voidless Empire is me!"
After saying this, Ye Hua continued walking with Wei Chang and Lie Gu, while the hundreds of people sitting were escorted to the execution platform.
The execution platform was also established by Ye Hua, and it was enormous, even the size of a few football fields.
When Ye Hua designed it initially, it was meant to be intimidating, so the bigger, the better. Never did he expect to use it in just a few months. Humans seem to struggle with peaceful days, always causing trouble and attempting to seize control of his empire.
Where did you find the courage? Ye Hua was curious, wondering if someone was scheming from below. But that didn't matter for now.
In the eastern city of the Voidless Empire, considered the "wealthy district," where celebrities reside, the protest marches always pass through. They chant slogans claiming that the imperial power protects the foreign race, highlighting the number of children from the opposition faction who are still detained and allegedly subjected to daily beatings.
The richest man's son was even beaten to death on the spot. Such atrocities would surely face divine retribution, demanding an explanation from the Emperor.
Ye Hua walked onto the main road of the Voidless Empire, and as soon as people saw him, they all knelt down in greeting.
It seemed to be the first time they witnessed the Emperor walking on the street. Seeing his complexion, not looking too well, they understood. The events of the past few days had taken their toll on him, and the Emperor was beginning to worry, not to be underestimated.
Ye Hua quite enjoyed this form of reception, indicating that being an Emperor still held some influence. Otherwise, being an Emperor seemed nothing special.
Gradually, Ye Hua caught up with the marching procession. Upon hearing the words from the crowd, his expression soured. What a group of unruly people! And there were quite a few in the procession, tens of thousands. It seemed that only a guillotine flowing with blood could teach them a lesson.
The sudden appearance of the Emperor didn't seem to bother these marchers. They pretended not to have seen him and continued shouting.
Ye Hua thought these people were not bad; they were ambitious young people with courage and spirit! He hoped they would remain steadfast when faced with the guillotine.
"Arrest them all."
"Yes!" Wei Chang respectfully received the order.
Countless black-armoured soldiers appeared, surrounding the marching crowd of thousands. The whole scene was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Ye Hua slowly approached the front of the procession. Everyone watched the Emperor, wondering what he was going to do. The atmosphere was frozen, and no one knew what would happen next.
"Take them away!" Wei Chang coldly ordered.
This was a team of thousands, not a hundred, and they were more formidable, with some resisting arrest.
"Where are you taking us? What crime have we committed?" Some of them began shouting, resisting desperately, knowing that they wouldn't dare to kill them.
Lie Gu shouted coldly, "What crime have you committed? Do you have no sense of reality!"
"We don't know! We seek an explanation from the Emperor!"
"Emperor, what crime have we committed?"
"That's right, Emperor, you can't just randomly arrest people."
Ye Hua looked at these defiant people and said in a low voice, "I'll give you a crime: the crime of death! The reason? Your time of death has arrived!"
The scene fell silent. The reason for the crime was that their time of death had arrived?
Could it be any more unreasonable?
Is this Emperor out of his mind? He's actually planning to kill so many people. Isn't he afraid of divine retribution?
Lie Gu felt a sense of admiration, thinking, "Respected Emperor, how imposing!"
