The Demonic World I designed

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1140: The Only Ally…..

“In that case… I will take my leave.”

The Imperial Palace of the Capital City, after the major situation had unfolded, King of Qin and Ziyue officially bid farewell to the Emperor.

The Buddha Light in the Capital City dimmed. The city, previously teeming with crises, was now unusually calm.

The Emperor looked at the two, his mood complex.

To be honest, he never thought that one day he would actually collaborate with Chen Qing to stage such a performance, but there was no alternative—his army was stationed in Jiangnan. Without cooperating with Chen Qing, it would be an utterly lost scenario.

“Your Majesty, one-third of the families in the Capital City have already prepared to leave, but most remain profoundly grateful for Your Majesty’s benevolence and are willing to stay and continue following Your Majesty…”

Kneeling in the palace was Weichi, the old Family Head. This former Imperial Army Commander, even though he was possessed by Yin Spirit and had been ostracized by various Noble Families to the point of silence in ordinary days, was ultimately still the Emperor’s most loyal follower.

“You have worked tirelessly, my loyal subject.” The Emperor smiled lightly, “You may leave now. I wish to speak privately with these two old acquaintances.”

Weichi, the old Family Head, glanced at the pair before finally complying and leaving. He understood that his strength now, in this chaotic era, was worth almost nothing—so much so that even a soldier of the Emperor’s army could easily surpass him. He himself hadn’t anticipated the consequences of being behind the curve—how the gap would be so vast.
