Chapter 733 - 546 Fight for the Human Race_2
But once the protection of the Dragon Vein was lost, he was nothing more than an ordinary man, facing these cultivators who could threaten his life at will, he had no means at all.
Stretching out the time, perhaps he could think of other ways.
But in two days, he couldn’t even send out a message...
...
The abdication was of great significance.
It wasn’t something two people could finish just by handing over the Jade Seal.
At Duge’s request, He Yan convened all the civil and military officials in the court to Jinluan Hall ahead of schedule, explaining the matter of the abdication to everyone.
The court erupted into uproar at once.
Chancellor Chi Muzhi stepped forward, furiously accusing Duge, "This is utterly absurd. Since ancient times, there has never been political intervention by cultivators. Is Emperor Donghua not afraid of divine retribution?"
"The chancellor speaks the truth, cultivators have long lives, if cultivators rule, where shall we mortals stand? If this continues, will there be a place for the Mortal Realm?" General Qiu Shi Wang echoed.
"Immortals to immortals, and ghosts to ghosts, why does Emperor Donghua meddle in the affairs of the Mortal Realm?" the Minister of Rites stood out and said loudly, "Your Majesty, should we burn incense and pray to the heavens for the Immortal Emperor to preside over justice for us?"
Jinluan Hall was noisy and crowded, just like a vegetable market where the civil and military officials were arguing forcefully for their own interests.
