Chapter 2198: Chapter 2198: Whose Life is Longer

It is precisely because these people do not regard him as the emperor that he has to create some things that only he himself can control, to use as a counterbalance to these undying creatures!

Otherwise, although the land of Ziyan Kingdom may bear the surname ’Yin’, who truly holds the power remains uncertain!

"I have my own reasons for doing this, what do you people understand?" he said impatiently.

Upon hearing this, the ministers’ faces turned even uglier.

Was the Emperor not denying the fact that he had nurtured a demonic entity?

They had previously thought that this matter was just nonsense spoken by Elder Bai and a few others. It was because of Elder Bai’s prestige that they followed his words and sought to inquire into the truth.

They truly had not expected that the Emperor would actually dare to raise a demonic entity!

"I would like to hear what reason the Emperor has that he even dares to raise a demonic entity," Elder Bai’s voice, already full of disappointment, turned colder as he asked.

If he had only been disappointed in the Emperor before, now he truly felt that this Emperor was beyond hope.

To nurture a demonic entity, and to show no sign of remorse even after its discovery?

And to still proclaim so self-righteously in the court that he has his reasons?

He really wants to hear what these reasons are that even justify raising a demonic entity.

"I can nurture a demonic entity because, of course, I have methods to make it obey my commands!" Emperor Ziyan stood up, raising his chin proudly as he addressed the ministers.

If he can’t even subdue a demonic entity, then what is the point of being an emperor?

Decades ago, he had already thought of a way; as long as the demonic entity is properly nurtured, it will certainly obey his commands.

In this, he is confident.

"Really?"

Elder Bai looked at Emperor Ziyan with eyes as if watching a joke.

"Your Majesty, may I listen to how you plan to make it obey?"

He asked.

"This..."

Emperor Ziyan was momentarily stunned, opened his mouth as if to speak, but quickly closed it again.

"This matter is top secret, how could I discuss it with all of you?"

He would be insane to reveal his method for controlling the demonic entity to so many people.

To reveal it and allow them all to control the demonic entity, and then compete with him for the throne? He would never do such a thing.

"Hmph."

Elder Bai let out a cold laugh.

"Then, Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?" he asked.

"Please ask, Elder Bai."

Hearing Elder Bai’s words, Emperor Ziyan thought Elder Bai was giving him an out, ready to brush past this matter.

He smiled and spoke politely to Elder Bai.

"Should this demonic entity truly come to fruition, I wonder whether it will be Your Majesty’s lifespan that’s longer, or that of the demonic entity?" Elder Bai asked, his face cold and his tone unfriendly.

"Uh!"

Emperor Ziyan choked on Elder Bai’s words.

The ministers also realized the implication.

Indeed, the demonic entity is inherently a being of great malice. It is unknown whether it can be controlled or not.

Even if the demonic entity can be controlled by Emperor Ziyan for a while, what happens after Emperor Ziyan passes away?

"Elder Bai, aren’t you meddling a bit too much? When the time comes, there will surely be a way,"

Unable to answer Elder Bai’s question, Emperor Ziyan could only respond with a laugh.

When the time comes... By then, he will no longer be around. Why would he care what happens to the rest of them?
