Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522: Chapter 523: In Times Without Heroes, Even the Insignificant Rise to Fame [Fifth Update]

That night, Liu Tianji and the Sword Control masters departed from Yang City. They headed to various cities across Dragon Country—the Demonic Capital, Jinmen, Lin’an, and beyond.

The branches of the Sword God Company became slaughterhouses. Martial Practitioners stood no chance against the Immortal Seekers. By dawn, they were all wiped out.

「Longjing」

The Lord of the Four Seas and his associates had been escorted to Jinluan Hall, where the Sword Demon now sat upon the Dragon Throne, savoring every moment.

"You call yourself the Sword Demon, even Dugu Qiubai, the Unbeatable, but your actions dishonor the very name of the sword!" the Lord of the Four Seas declared. Despite being a prisoner, he remained dignified and unyielding.

The Sword Demon laughed dismissively. To think someone who didn’t understand martial arts would presume to lecture him on the sword. "I dishonor the sword? What do you know? City Lord Ye also harbors ambitions for the throne, so naturally, I must aim just as high! I seek to be the supreme among swordsmen and the Monarch among men!"

"HAHAHA..." With those words, the Sword Demon burst into uproarious laughter. He could hardly believe his grand ambitions were only a step away.

First, defeat Wu Tian. Then, pressure the Lord of the Four Seas to relinquish his title as Monarch. By that time, he would be alone at the top. Abroad, he would form an alliance with the United States of America. At home, he would increase tax revenues. All wealth would belong to the Imperial Court! All companies would be nationalized! Dragon Country would be renamed Sword Country!

The Sword Demon believed that under his ingenious rule, the people of Sword Country would live better and better lives. Every citizen of Sword Country, when abroad, could proudly declare with their head held high, "I am from Sword Country!"

By then, the Sword Demon believed, the people would understand him. They would all willingly identify as citizens of Sword Country, not Dragon Country.

Imagining the brilliant future, envisioning how history would remember him as a great emperor for the ages beyond even the legendary founders of old, the Sword Demon, perched upon the Dragon Throne, laughed even more wildly. "HAHAHA..."

But just at that moment, an army General who had already submitted to the Sword Demon’s rule rushed into Jinluan Hall, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

"What’s the matter? Why the panic?" the Sword Demon snorted. With the Lord of the Four Seas present, he didn’t want to show any weakness. "No matter what has happened, state it calmly. I consider nothing in this world to be of any great significance. You should learn to be as calm as I am. Do you understand why you can only be a General, while I am destined to become a great Monarch? It is because you lack my composure!"

The General was taken aback for a moment. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "Report! An urgent message from Jinmen! The Sword God Company’s Jinmen branch has been annihilated by an unidentified individual!"

"Urgent message from the Demonic Capital! The Sword God Company’s branch there has been annihilated by an unidentified individual!"

"Urgent message from Lin’an! The Sword God Company’s Lin’an branch has been annihilated by an unidentified individual!"

"Urgent message from Jinling! The Sword God Company’s Jinling branch has been annihilated by an unidentified individual!"

"Urgent message from the Grasslands! The Sword God Company’s Grasslands branch has been annihilated by an unidentified individual!"

"..."

One dire report arrived, then a second, a third, and a fourth. The Sword Demon’s face grew darker and darker. Finally, by the time the General reached the report from the twenty-ninth city, he could take no more.

"Enough! ENOUGH!" the Sword Demon roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

The General nodded fearfully. Weren’t you the one telling me to learn your composure? Where is your composure now?

"Wu Tian... This must be related to Wu Tian!" The Sword Demon clenched his teeth. All his branch offices were his blood, sweat, and tears, yet they had all been annihilated overnight. How could such a thing not enrage him?

"I suggest you run," the Lord of the Four Seas said, looking at the Sword Demon’s state and sighing. "Once he arrives, your corpse won’t even be left intact. You have no chance against him!"
