Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

On the wide streets, the bustling pedestrians were much sparser than before, and the market that was originally noisy and crowded now seemed deserted.

Looking at the somewhat bleak scene before my eyes, the doubts in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help muttering to myself: "How strange! I think of the capital city in the past, with bustling traffic and blooming flowers, it was so lively. Why is it so deserted today?" Although I was full of doubts, my feet did not stop. Instead, I quickened my pace and hurried towards the direction of the palace.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of the palace.

When the guards standing at the door saw him, they immediately shouted in unison, "Greetings, Lord Zhan Huang."

"Well, excuse me." He thought of something and said directly, "Apart from me, have all the other guardian gods arrived?"

"Your Excellency, they have arrived. Several adults have been waiting for a long time, and now only you are missing. Please follow me." The guard on the side responded quickly, and then signaled to another guard to lead my horse to the stable and put it there properly.

The guard led the way, and I followed silently behind. Along the way, I remained silent, just observing the surroundings.

Before long, he and I were walking side by side, passing through numerous palaces, and finally arrived at the door of a house deep in the imperial palace.

Before I even got close to the door, I could faintly hear some subtle noises coming from inside the house.

The sound was sometimes high, sometimes low, and intermittent, as if many people were discussing something important fiercely.

Two burly guards stood at the door, their expressions serious and their eyes sharp as hawks.

Upon seeing us coming, one of the guards immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said directly: "Sir, please come in." Before he finished speaking, he reached out and slowly opened the closed door.

As the door was fully opened, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted into the air.

I calmed myself down and walked in without hesitation. As soon as I stepped over the threshold, the scene inside the house instantly came into view.

In the spacious and bright room, in addition to the other six guardian gods sitting around a huge round table, there was also a man dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern sitting on the main seat.

This man was tall and straight, with an imposing bearing, and he exuded an innate noble aura that made people dare not look directly at him - there was no doubt that this man was the Emperor of the human race!

He walked forward quickly, first looking around at everyone present, then with a smile on his face, he politely greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, I'm really sorry, I live a little far away, so I'm a little late today. I hope you don't mind."

After saying this, he turned to the emperor who was not far away, knelt on his knees, and respectfully shouted: "Your humble servant pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The emperor tilted his head slightly, and glanced at him calmly with his eyes as deep as cold stars. Then, with a slight smile on his face, he replied calmly, "Stand up and take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He kowtowed in thanks, then quickly stood up, walked steadily to a vacant seat, and sat down carefully.

The whole process was smooth and natural, without any sense of dragging.

At this moment, as the heavy door slowly closed with a dull sound, our group quickly gathered around the huge and quaint table and sat down.

Suddenly, the god spoke in a deep and majestic voice: "Everyone, everyone is here, so we can officially start this meeting."

His eyes scanned everyone present, revealing an unquestionable determination.

"I have specially gathered you here today because there is a matter of vital importance that needs to be discussed and decided with you all." The god paused for a moment and then continued.

At this time, Lei Di, who was sitting next to me, couldn't wait to interrupt and asked, "Boss, are we about to have a big battle with the demons?" His words were full of eagerness and anticipation.

The Celestial God nodded slightly, agreeing with the Thunder Emperor's suspicions. He then replied solemnly, "Indeed, that's exactly what happened. After several days of observation and intelligence gathering, we've discovered that the Demon Clan has lost three demon generals. Right now, the Demon Clan is at its most vulnerable, vulnerable to any attack. Therefore, we must strike decisively and seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart and felt a little surprised.

Apart from the extremely powerful Mosha and Momei, are there other powerful demon generals who also died?

Although my heart was filled with doubts, I wisely chose to remain silent. After all, asking questions rashly in such a situation might not be a wise move.

At this moment, the god frowned slightly, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, as if to deliberately emphasize the imminent tension and vital significance of this war.

However, as the god was speaking incessantly, I, who had been listening attentively, couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in my heart.

This doubt was like a spider's thread, gently entangling my thoughts, making it impossible for me to suppress my curiosity and confusion.

Finally, he mustered up the courage and asked, "Boss, since this matter is so important and has such far-reaching implications, why don't you discuss it openly in the court, in front of so many ministers? Instead, why do you hold a secret meeting in a relatively secluded room like this?"

Before he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone who was originally lost in thought or talking in low voices were all focused on him like lightning.

In an instant, I felt as if a thorn was on my back and my whole body became uncomfortable.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, the god was momentarily stunned, then he sighed deeply and spoke slowly, "Alas! We still don't know how many demonic spies are lurking within the court. If we discuss this matter openly in court, those demonic spies will undoubtedly pass the news back immediately. In this way, the demons will know our plans and deployments in advance, and the outcome of this war will be unpredictable... Therefore, discussing this here is the safest strategy."

After saying this, the god looked around at everyone present with a serious expression, as if warning everyone to be careful with their words and actions.

After listening to this explanation, I nodded in sudden enlightenment, and secretly felt lucky that I had raised that key question.

The god's gaze was now solemn as he continued, "We must make up our minds. This matter requires careful consideration. Once the war between humans and demons begins, those pedantic and conservative ministers will likely vehemently oppose it. After all, they only care about enjoying their own prosperity and wealth, without even considering the well-being of future generations."

The emperor's face was filled with sorrow. He sighed helplessly and said, "My dear minister, you are absolutely right. Those old ministers have used their power to amass wealth and have already made a fortune. They are naturally worried that a war will cut off their source of income, so they are inevitably reluctant to participate."

Feng Sheng, standing nearby, immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, your words are quite reasonable. These old ministers are not only rigid and stubborn, but also extremely greedy. They are merely content with their current wealth and status, and have never considered the long-term development of humanity. They are only concerned with how to plunder more wealth and indulge in a life of luxury. As for whether the world can be unified, they have no interest in it at all."
