Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1161 605: Imperial Court's Fury, Murder by Proxy

The Great Yan Imperial Family.

The very instant Lu Yuan obliterated the imperial decree.

Within the Royal Family's Ancestral Land, an elder clad in a purple-gold Dragon Robe seemed to perceive something, a surge of potent fury instantly manifesting upon his countenance.

"What impudence this individual displays, to openly defy a royal command, and to even shatter my decree?"

The elder garbed in the Dragon Robe was incensed, his voice booming like thunder as he voiced his outrage.

Had King Wuwei been present, he would undoubtedly have recognized him instantly.

This elder, adorned in the regal purple-gold Dragon Robe, was none other than the Great Flame Ancestor!

As his wrath ignited.

The sky, which had been clear for ten thousand miles, suddenly plunged into absolute darkness, rendering sight impossible.

And within that pitch-black celestial expanse, thunder roared, lightning crisscrossed, causing every powerful figure within the Imperial Palace to quiver in apprehension, a suffocating pressure descending upon them!

"What is occurring? Why has the Ancestor suddenly been provoked to such rage?"

"Could it be that some foolish person inadvertently offended the Ancestor?"

"When an Immortal becomes enraged, the very heavens and earth undergo a transformation. The Ancestor's contributions to Creation have already ascended to a Realm that we could never hope to achieve in our lifetimes!"

The other experts of the Royal Family, sensing this immense and boundless aura akin to an ocean of rivers and seas, felt their scalps tingle and could not help but cry out in astonishment.

Beneath this fearsome pressure that obscured the sky, they were like vulnerable vessels in a tempestuous storm, appearing as though they could be shattered by a world-altering tsunami at any moment.

Even the legendary figures spoken of in myths would likely pale in comparison, wouldn't they?

"What did you say? That brat Lu Yuan actually dared to act against the Ancestor's wishes? Is he actively seeking his own demise?"

"For the Ancestor to have focused his attention on Wuyou City is the greatest honor bestowed upon it during its existence, yet not only is this youth unappreciative, he openly opposes the Imperial Court?"

"This child is utterly reckless and presumptuous; he must face the most severe retribution without any leniency!"

Before long.

The news of Lu Yuan's defiance of the imperial decree rapidly disseminated amongst the numerous Royal Family experts.

Upon learning of this transgression, every single one of them was filled with a fury akin to thunder, practically yearning to eliminate Lu Yuan on the spot.

It was imperative to remember that the Great Yan Royal Family stood as a co-ruler of the world; even immensely powerful existences like the Ancient Emperor were compelled to show deference before the throne of His Majesty Dayan.

Yet Lu Yuan, a mere nascent junior, actually dared to oppose the Imperial Court as well?

The Great Flame Ancestor was also incensed beyond all measure; with a mere flicker of thought, he promptly convened the assembled Royal Family powerhouses to deliberate on this grave matter.

The other Royal Family experts dared not falter in their response and hastened to the Ancestral Land without delay.

"I trust you have all been apprised of the current situation. Regardless of how one perceives it, Wuyou City remains an integral part of my Great Yan's dominion."

"Yet this individual, Lu Yuan, occupies Wuyou City exclusively and already harbors intentions of rebellion. Inform me, how ought we to address this person?"

The Great Flame Ancestor's countenance was grim as he surveyed the assembly gathered below the grand hall, his voice carrying a hoarse resonance.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the circumstances are currently volatile. The various Kings adhere to military directives but disregard imperial mandates, and among them, this Lu Yuan exhibits the most flagrant insubordination."

"Lu Yuan demonstrates utter disrespect towards the Imperial Court and affronts the dignity of the Royal Family. He warrants the most stringent punishment to serve as a deterrent to other major powers."

"This humble official boldly suggests that we deploy the Royal Family's Forbidden Army to obliterate Wuyou City in a single decisive action and thereby showcase the latent might of the Imperial Court!"

A high-ranking minister of the Imperial Court presented his report with utmost respect.

However, the moment his pronouncement concluded, an individual repeatedly shook his head and promptly voiced an objection.

"That proposal is flawed. The Dark Alien Race is steadily advancing, poised to be at our very thresholds. Should we deploy the Forbidden Army at this juncture, who then will bear the responsibility of safeguarding the Imperial City?"

A middle-aged Civil Servant, attired in white robes, wielding a feather fan, and exuding the aura of a seasoned strategist, spoke slowly.

"Then, according to your counsel, how should we proceed with this individual?"

Feeling his suggestion publicly rebuffed, the high-ranking Imperial Court minister could not contain himself; he glared with fierce anger and retorted with palpable impatience.

"Minister Li, I urge you not to be so hasty. Kindly permit me to elaborate first."

The Civil Servant, still holding his feather fan, spoke without haste.

"Based on the knowledge available to this humble official, the Dark Alien Race possesses an unnatural fixation on living flesh and blood that defies conventional understanding."

"The reason they frantically besiege cities and seize territory is that they are drawn by the aura of flesh and blood from the common folk within the cities."

"And even knowing the Imperial City is guarded by a Grand Array, they still linger outside the city for months, unwilling to leave, precisely because the Imperial City holds hundreds of millions of Simulators and hundreds of trillions of ordinary citizens."

"For the Dark Alien Race, this is an unimaginable temptation!"

The Civil Servant with the feather fan spoke leisurely.

"You mean…"

When everyone heard this, their eyelids suddenly twitched; they vaguely understood his intentions.

"Exactly. Since this Lu Yuan dares to openly oppose the will of the Imperial Court, why not cede Wuyou City to the Dark Alien Race!"

"In this way, we can both break the siege of the Imperial City and let the world see the fate of those who stand against the Imperial Court!"

As the Civil Servant with the feather fan spoke to this point, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

In this Gu Cultivation Field that is the Imperial Court, to stand out and become a high minister of Great Yan, one is naturally no kind soul.

Only, when the crowd heard his proposal, even the most ruthless among them couldn't help but shudder.

Too vicious!

One must know Wuyou City holds tens of trillions of citizens!

Every citizen is a living, breathing life.

But with a few light words, this feather-fan Civil Servant decided the Life and Death of those tens of trillions. Such a heart and such methods were far too ruthless!

"Indeed, your words are not without reason. Originally, in consideration of them being of the Human Race, I still wanted to leave them a path to survival."

"But since they don't know what's good for them and insist on courting their own destruction, they can't blame me."

Hearing this, the Great Flame Ancestor's eyes brightened slightly, a gleam flashing through them.

The Dark Alien Race had come on fiercely, besieging the Imperial City for many years already.

Although the Imperial City was guarded by the Deities' Array and had stockpiled vast resources and supplies, enough to maintain order even if the Dark Alien Race besieged it for hundreds of years.

But the Great Yan Imperial City was the central city of the entire Empire; any minor disturbance would draw the attention of the great powers.
