The Saint Martial Emperor nodded, his expression complex. "I do not have much time left. The longer I can watch, the more I will see. This is my only path to survival. After I die, I too will return to that place. If I can emerge from it, I can lead the Great Zhou Country to even greater prosperity and offer its people better protection."
"How could his path possibly influence me? My will is already unshakable. It will not be swayed."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen sighed but said nothing.
The Saint Martial Emperor retracted his gaze and asked, "How is Shen Bai? I have been so occupied with state affairs these past few days that I have neglected him."
A rare smile appeared on Eunuch Chen's face. "All the Demonic Forces in Lingyun Dao have been completely eradicated. The traitor from the Celestial Pride Salvation Society who escaped is also dead. However, Lingyun Dao lost the populations of three counties."
