CHAPTER 393: CHAPTERS 164 TO 165 URGENT NEWS (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)_4

In front of Qianzhan, he simply opened it. After a moment, anger flashed across his face.

"The Myriad Buddhas Sect’s audacity is astounding!" he seethed. "Does Shimohe really think that because he is a Great Grandmaster, he can be invincible in the world? Daring to establish the Heaven Alliance and openly commit such an act of rebellion!"

Fury! This was even more infuriating than the news of the Martial Emperor’s betrayal! The Martial Emperor’s betrayal was merely the action of one man; at worst, it meant stripping him of his position and expelling him from the Demon-Subduing Division. The subsequent impact could be forcibly smoothed over with the power of the Demon-Subduing Division. But the Myriad Buddhas Sect was different. By establishing the Heaven Alliance and openly attacking Baiyue City, committing acts of rebellion, they implicated the entire South Nether Prefecture. If this matter was handled improperly, the consequences could be much more severe. It had to be understood that Great Qin itself was already riddled with countless woes: the Barbarian Clan causing trouble in the forefront, Great Zhou clinging on relentlessly at the back, and the Demon Evil wreaking havoc within. And now, the Myriad Buddhas Sect was meddling, straightforwardly establishing the Heaven Alliance. The slogan they shouted essentially amounted to raising a banner of revolt.

Dongfang Zhao’s expression was icy cold. "I originally thought that the Myriad Buddhas Sect would stay low for a while, but I didn’t expect Shimohe to harbor such wolfish ambitions, attempting to overthrow the foundation of Great Qin by leveraging the power of the jianghu within South Nether Prefecture. Such an act is simply courting death!"

The news of the three major Demon-Subduing Divisions’ defeats had also reached him quite early on. But at that time, the Capital City didn’t have the spare power to deal with it, so he hadn’t concerned himself too much with it. After all, even if the Myriad Buddhas Sect decisively defeated the Demon-Subduing Division of South Nether Prefecture, it couldn’t possibly disrupt Great Qin’s current situation. Especially since the Myriad Buddhas Sect didn’t make any moves afterward, Dongfang Zhao had planned to let them run wild for a few days before slowly settling the scores later. But unexpectedly, after things had been calm for only a few days, the Myriad Buddhas Sect directly rebelled. If this matter was not suppressed, the nine prefectures of Great Qin would all fall into chaos. Where there is one, there will be another. If the other prefectures saw the Myriad Buddhas Sect’s rebellion go unsuppressed by Great Qin, then before long, rebellious banners would be raised everywhere. At that time, the very foundation of Great Qin would be thoroughly shaken.

After seething with rage for a long time, Dongfang Zhao finally suppressed the fury in his heart.

"Martial Hall Master Martial Emperor has betrayed the Demon-Subduing Division, aligning with the Demon Evil Clan to become the Eternal Alliance Master, and is now officially expelled from the Demon-Subduing Division. Anyone from our Demon-Subduing Division encountering him must fulfill their duty to execute him.

Furthermore, Martial Pavilion Elder Shen Changqing has meritoriously slain enemies, and his cultivation is profound. He is now officially appointed as the Martial Hall Master."

He looked at Qianzhan and said slowly, "Then, Shen Changqing is appointed as the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture, with authority over the three major Demon-Subduing Divisions. He will have the right to make decisions on any matters within South Nether Prefecture!"

As his words fell, a change finally appeared on Qianzhan’s indifferent face.

"Lord Defender, are you appointing Shen Changqing as the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture?"

Being the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture was not something a simple Defender Envoy could compare to. For example, the other Defender Envoys in South Nether Prefecture were, strictly speaking, classified under a particular Demon-Subduing Division, such as the Defender Envoys of Mountain-Breaking City, Baiyue City, and the like. Their jurisdiction was limited by territory. However, if Dongfang Zhao directly appointed Shen Changqing as the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture, that would be completely different. The Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture—as the name implied, all of South Nether Prefecture would fall under Shen Changqing’s jurisdiction to defend. With this, Shen Changqing’s status would be tantamount to that of the Prefect of South Nether Prefecture.

Such a status and position could not be decided with just a few words. Even for Dongfang Zhao, the Dominator of the Capital Demon Suppression Division, directly granting a position equivalent to that of a prefect was not so easy.

Understanding Qianzhan’s concerns, Dongfang Zhao said calmly, "I will discuss the matter of the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture with His Majesty, and I believe His Majesty will not refuse. Just carry out my orders as they are. Don’t worry about the rest."

"Yes!" Qianzhan bowed his head, saying nothing more.
