Chapter 2197: Chapter 2197: First to Bear the Brunt!

The St. John Flower has been stolen, and the poison and antidote in St John’s possession have been stolen as well.

He doesn’t even have a secret poison to threaten this old pest anymore!

Thinking of this, he was truly furious!

"This matter is entirely unfounded; the Phoenix Vein is the most critical asset of the Ziyan Kingdom. How could I possibly mishandle it?"

At this moment, he could only vehemently deny his actions.

He had already planned that once this matter settled, he would find another Dragon Vein in a different country, replicate the process, and cultivate another demonic entity.

He simply couldn’t believe it; those people managed to ruin one of his creations, could they really ruin a second one?

It must have been a mere coincidence that the imperial tomb was destroyed this time, right?

About the demonic entity, he had seen it in ancient remnants. Others could not possibly have seen it.

"Moreover, what demonic entity? I have never heard of such a thing!"

He denied it, and denied it again.

"Is the emperor really unaware of what a demonic entity is?" An official looked up into the emperor’s eyes and asked loudly.

Everyone had heard of the demonic entity; a monstrously evil being formed into a human shape, though no one knew how it was created.

Now, the news about the emperor creating a demonic entity on top of the Phoenix Vein has spread widely.

Emperor Ziyan, do they really think he is that gullible?

Emperor Ziyan: "..."

Are these people interrogating him? He is the emperor of the Ziyan Kingdom!

"Elder Bai, are you questioning me?" He glared, fiercely questioning the elder who stepped forward.

"Yes, I am indeed questioning the emperor!"

Facing Emperor Ziyan’s wrath, Elder Bai did not deny, and spoke directly.

At this point, should they pretend they know nothing?

Should they really wait until Emperor Ziyan creates a demonic entity and present it before their eyes before they regret not stopping his mad actions?

"Your Majesty, there is no need to deny it. Elder Bai has already interrogated the Tomb Guards previously in the tomb using some Truth-Seeking Powder, and they revealed everything. Emperor, should you not explain this to us?"

"Indeed, your Majesty."

Listening to Elder Bai, another elder stood out.

"That demonic entity, who does not know of it? It is an extremely evil thing, how can your Majesty create such a monstrous creature in the Illusion Continent for personal gain?"

"Your Majesty, are you trying to destroy the Ziyan Kingdom!"

"Emperor, please reconsider, that demonic entity is uncaring even of family relationships. If you truly cultivate one, sooner or later, even you might die at the hands of this demonic entity."

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to harm the Ziyan Kingdom and even all the people of the Illusion Continent for your own selfish desires?"

Once a demonic entity is nurtured, who then has the power to kill it?

Fortunately, it was accidentally discovered, and then exploded and burned; otherwise, they of the Ziyan Kingdom would bear the brunt!

"Your Majesty, if the Lord of Sky City becomes aware of this matter, he might immediately come to the Ziyan Kingdom."

"You... you all..."

Emperor Ziyan looked at those people, none of whom took him seriously.

Everyone was questioning him, opposing him, showing him displeasure as they pleased, just like now.
