Chapter 442

Boom!

The sky above the imperial palace was filled with dark clouds. Huangfu Wuji's killing intent soared into the sky, causing the souls of everyone in the imperial palace to tremble!

This extremely shrewd new emperor was enraged. Several eunuchs in front of him were implicated and turned to dust, not leaving a single trace behind!

Allying with the four great races, instigating Underworld Tower to rebel, annihilating Underworld God Palace, issuing a declaration of war, forcing him to abdicate …

Gu Chen was pressing forward step by step. Everything he had done had completely driven Huangfu Wuji crazy.

He had exhausted his entire life's effort to reach his current achievements, but they were gradually being destroyed by a brat!

He managed to control his temper with great difficulty, and in a few steps, he had already stepped into the Political Pavilion.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

With Shen Xudong in the lead, the officials of the imperial court had already been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Huangfu Wuji, they all became somewhat nervous and restrained.

Everyone had sensed the terrifying killing intent from before, and they knew that this emperor was currently angry.

"Where is the declaration? Let me see it! "

Huangfu Wuji sat on the dragon throne and said coldly.

Hearing this, Shen Xudong walked out. Among the officials present, he was the calmest. He handed over a jade slip with both hands to Huangfu Wuji.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this declaration of war was issued by the Celestial Court and the four great races at the same time. According to this subject's estimation, it has already spread throughout the nine provinces through the Celestial Court's information network."

Shen Xudong said expressionlessly. Huangfu Wuji only took the jade slip and casually glanced at it.

The contents of the declaration were shocking to the eye, causing the flames of anger in his heart to burn even more.

The other party listed his three major crimes in the declaration, accusing him of being disloyal! Heartless! Unjust!

The words were as ugly as they could be, saying that he was plotting to usurp the throne and was cruel and heartless. In short, it completely tarnished his image.

The other party's intentions were very vicious. They clearly wanted to occupy the moral high ground and give him a good reason to fight!

"What an overlord, what an overlord!"

Huangfu Wuji was so angry that he laughed, and he looked at the officials below.

When the officials saw such a declaration, they didn't know what to think. Did they agree with the Celestial Court?

He inexplicably felt guilty because he didn't have much room to refute the crimes on the declaration.

"Shen Xudong, you really have a good grandson!"

Huangfu Wuji looked at Shen Xudong and sneered. His face was filled with killing intent.

Shen Xudong didn't show any fear and just calmly replied. "I am ashamed to have such a traitorous grandson. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Humph! This declaration wants me to abdicate and return the throne to the Ji family. What do you think? "

Huangfu Wuji's eyes flickered.

The civil and military officials looked nervously at Imperial Advisor Shen, worried for him.

Right now, the Emperor was in a fit of anger, and Imperial Preceptor Shen had an unclear relationship with the Celestial Court's Celestial Emperor. If he answered incorrectly, he might lose his life.

Usually, the Imperial Advisor was of noble character and unquestionable integrity. He loved the people as if they were his own children and often spoke up for them, so the officials did not wish for anything to happen to him.

"The Ji Clan no longer exists. What abdication?"

Shen Xudong's first sentence made Huangfu Wuji's expression ease up a little, but the next sentence made him explode.

"But now that the Celestial Court is powerful and has the assistance of the four races, Your Majesty, please think of the people of the world and send someone to negotiate with them. Peace is the most important and prevent a war from breaking out."

"You want me to compromise with that Gu Chen?"

Huangfu Wuji stared coldly at Shen Xudong. A terrifying domineering aura spread throughout the Political Pavilion.

"If it can bring peace to the world, Your Majesty can give it a try."

Shen Xudong straightened his back. He clearly knew that his words would infuriate Huangfu Wuji, but he still said it.

"Preposterous! You pedantic scholar who only talks about benevolence and morality! "

Huangfu Wuji immediately berated. His eyes were cold and terrifying. "Let me tell you, I will definitely not compromise with anyone. If you want a war, then we will fight! As long as I am happy, what do the people of the world count for? "

Huangfu Wuji even said such words. The officials fell silent for a moment. They knew that he was so angry that he didn't even want to pretend anymore.

Pain flashed in Shen Xudong's eyes. The ruler of a country said such words. The people of the Nine Provinces were destined to be plunged into misery and suffering!

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Shen Xudong bowed solemnly. He knew that it was impossible, but he still did it. "Your Majesty, please think of the people of the world!"

Huangfu Wuji looked at Shen Xudong, this stubborn person who didn't know how to be flexible. His face was distorted from anger.

If it wasn't for the fact that he needed Shen Xudong and the Confucian Faction to stabilize the internal situation, he would definitely kill him for his repeated rebuttals!

"Do your own thing. My army will defeat the Five Races Alliance and capture that Gu Clan survivor alive! At that time, I will chop him into pieces and make him into buns for you to eat! "

Huangfu Wuji said ferociously.

Shen Xudong was shocked. He knew that Huangfu Wuji didn't want to talk to him anymore. If he continued talking, his life would be in danger.

"Your humble servant understands."

Shen Xudong took a deep breath and endured the humiliation.

He still had to keep his life. Only by staying in the imperial court could he do something for the people of the world.

"All military officials, step forward!"

Huangfu Wuji ordered Shen Xudong to retreat. He quickly gathered the commanders of the army and began to deploy troops.

When news of the Overlord's breakthrough came from the Northern Region, he had already begun to recruit troops from all over the Nine Provinces. Now, he was beginning to see results.

He had already made up his mind to gather an army and accomplish the task in one fell swoop. He would completely defeat the Five Races Alliance and unify the entire continent!

...

In the Heavenly Palace, Gu Chen stood in front of the information pool with his hands behind his back. Images appeared in front of him one after another.

"Reporting to the Celestial Thearch, the Western Desert Underworld Deity Palace branch has been completely purged!"

A golden assassin said from the void. Behind him stood several Stone Race clansmen.

"Gu Chen, Gu Chen, I've taken care of everything on my side!"

Xu Huahua was also in the image. She smiled at him excitedly. Behind her were the corpses of the Underworld Deity Palace assassins. Her puppet army was counting the spoils of war.

As Gu Chen listened to the reports of victory from all over the continent, he couldn't help but smile. "Thank you for your hard work."

For half a month, the Celestial Court attacked the Underworld Deity Palace with all its might. Although there were some casualties, compared to the huge gains, the losses were negligible.

The Underworld Deity Palace's forces in the four major regions had all been disintegrated. Now, only a portion of the important forces from the Central Plains remained by Huangfu Wuji's side.

This was the first time Gu Chen had achieved such great results since he set foot on the path of revenge against Huangfu Wuji!

After discussing with the various races, a declaration of war against Huangfu Wuji had been sent out. It had probably caused a huge uproar in the Nine Provinces by now.

He was trying his best to create an atmosphere of righteousness so that he could prepare for the upcoming war.

"The declaration of war has already been sent out. Next, as long as Lanchu comes to my side, she can use the name of the Ji royal family to suppress Huangfu Wuji. That way, we can avoid even more casualties."
