Emperor’s Domination

o steal glimpses, they tried to be as quiet as possible as if disturbing him was a great offense.

Jianyao wasnt surprised at this outcome. Everything has been determined; Ma Mingchuns resistance was simply futile.

“Anyone else got something to say?” Li Qiye lazily asked.

Given his current lackadaisical and sleepy appearance, no one would believe that this dispirited man was the one who killed Tang Hexiang, Ma Mingchun, and an entire legion. Yes, a useless king fitted his current image much more.

No one dared to utter the word, “no”. Existences like them were insignificant insects. Just one stomp of his would crush them in totality.

“In that case, start kneeling.” Li Qiye glanced at the crowd and said.

This made them exchange glances. Many people actually wanted to kneel, but being the first to do so was a bit embarrassing.

“Long live the king.” Jianyao broke the hesitation by bowing her head, her clear voice comforted the crowd.

Though she got on her knees to kowtow, she was still a perfect fairy, a visual feast.

“Long live the king.” Everyone quickly prostrated to show their submission.

Even Jianyao had shown her allegiance, so why should they bother maintaining their face? They paled in comparison to her prestige and status anyway.

They kneeled with bated breath, waiting for him to make a decision.

Previously during his coronation, some of them have come to the imperial palace to greet him. Of course, they werent actually convinced by him and did so out of fear of Sun Lengying and Silver Secret Legion.

This was no longer the case today. This showing of reverence was all due to the king himself.

Furthermore, they trembled with fear, afraid of the kings fury. This might end with a massacre and the end of their sects.

They felt as if they have returned to Lucidity Kings era. No, even worse.

The whole thing felt like a dream. When the king was chased out of his throne, so many people looked down on him, calling him a piece of trash. Today, they prostrated, afraid of invoking his wrath and punishment. This sudden change seemed surreal and unbelievable.

“This is the feeling of being shown disdain.” Li Qiye looked at them and chuckled: “I gave you all a chance to be independent, an era of self-rule, but all of you didnt cherish it. It looks like your fate is to be ruled by others.”

This was a cruel slap on everyones face, causing them to feel hot. Of course, they didnt show any anger any were actually thanking heaven that the king wasnt angry.

“Rise, I pardon your crimes.” Li Qiye waved his hand and said.

“Thank you for your benevolence.” The crowd heaved a sigh of relief and realized how much they were sweating during the wait.

That wave of his hand could have made heads roll on the ground. Moreover, they wouldnt be able to resist at all.

The lack of punishment made the crowd ecstatic. Some on the ground even kowtowed several more times to show their gratitude for this imperial kindness.
