Chapter 665: Dongdu Demigod, Lord Heavenly Emperor!
Eastern Capital City, Ninth Layer天阙, Professional Association Headquarters.
Yun Chenyu summoned several vice presidents of Eastern Capital City to discuss matters related to the Image Stone.
Originally, several vice presidents of Eastern Capital City did not want much interaction with Yun Chenyu, at least for the time being.
However, after Yun Chenyu solemnly explained the purpose, they still gathered together.
The images displayed by the Image Stone immediately stirred up a huge wave among the top executives of the Professional Association.
A prestigious Rank Nine powerhouse was threatened by an unknown figure.
The possibilities that the Intelligence Department could analyze, the top executives of the Professional Association could naturally as well.
Similarly positioned at the pinnacle of power in Eastern Capital City, the President of the Professional Association fell, and the Inspector Ambassador was threatened, both incidents hinting at the trace of a mysterious unknown force.
It was hard not to link the two incidents together.
In the meeting room, Yun Chenyu sat upright and solemnly said, "Everyone, I understand your concerns. You want to rely on your own strength to uncover the truth behind the President's fall."
"However, this is exactly what those elusive rats hope to see."
"They are weaving a huge conspiracy that, once successful, could imagine what kind of unacceptable damage it would cause to Eastern Capital City and the Empire!"
"Yesterday it was the President, today the Inspector Ambassador, then what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? How many more will fall into their traps?"
"The more they expose, the more alarming it becomes."
"Can each of you present here guarantee absolute safety?"
Several vice presidents looked at each other.
If the President's fall was an accident, the two incidents that occurred in recent days made them shudder.
First, after the forbidden powerhouse Lord Huangqiu was wanted, he had contact with an unknown force hidden in Eastern Capital City, and the Intelligence Department caught a clue.
Then the Inspector Ambassador, Lord Ziyanyan, was threatened and even incited to treason.
The entire upper structure of the Soaring Dragon Empire, apart from being founded on ideals and beliefs, was essentially a huge community of shared interests.
The security and influence of the powerhouses themselves were naturally the core interests of this community.
No powerhouse wished to live in constant fear and danger every day.
Even if they had more resources and greater power, they still wouldn't want that.
Now, this unknown force repeatedly targeting high-level powerhouses in Eastern Capital City had clearly crossed the red line of the Soaring Dragon Empire and touched the psychological bottom line of all powerhouses in Eastern Capital City.
"President Yun," Zhou Zhaolong said solemnly, "I will contact Emperor Monarch immediately to report this matter. Please wait."
"Good." Yun Chenyu nodded.
Emperor Monarch, the semi-divine powerhouse reigning over Eastern Capital City.
Officially not holding any position in Eastern Capital City and hardly involved in its management.
But he was the pillar of Eastern Capital City, and all major affairs had to be approved by him.
Not long after, Zhou Zhaolong looked surprised, "Emperor Monarch said... he will be here soon."
"What?"
The other vice presidents, along with Yun Chenyu, had not reacted yet when they saw faint streams of water slowly condensing into a figure.
It was a young man with a resolute face, dressed in military attire, exuding a commanding aura.
"Emperor Monarch!"
The five vice presidents immediately stood up and bowed to Emperor Monarch.
"Greetings, Emperor Monarch."
Yun Chenyu also bowed to Emperor Monarch along with the five vice presidents.
Emperor Monarch's solemn expression softened into a smile as he nodded at Yun Chenyu, "Greetings, Saint Spirit Throne."
"The name of the Saint Spirit Throne, even if I am secluded, I have heard of it."
"Today's meeting truly proves your exceptional talent!"
"I believe in the near future, our empire will have another pillar."
"Thank you for your guidance, Emperor Monarch. Your remarkable achievements and renowned reputation have greatly contributed to the empire."
"We, the younger generation, should follow in the footsteps of Emperor Monarch, governing with culture and securing the nation, winning the hearts of the people and enhancing the country's prestige!"
"Haha! Excellent! Excellent!" Emperor Monarch laughed heartily, nodding in approval.
Zhou Zhaolong and the other vice presidents were almost wide-eyed.
Emperor Monarch's lavish praise for a junior like this was unprecedented for them.
Yun Chenyu's calm and composed demeanor in response was truly impressive.
After all, this was a semi-divine being!
The most powerful and influential existence in the entire world.
If any of them were in Yun Chenyu's place and received such praise from Emperor Monarch, they would have been overwhelmed and speechless long ago.
What they didn't know was that Yun Chenyu, who had witnessed the fall of a semi-divine being, no longer held the same mystery and awe towards semi-divine beings as others did.
In Yun Chenyu's eyes, Emperor Monarch was just a "regular" semi-divine being.
Respect was due, but there was no need for fear.
After the pleasantries, Emperor Monarch's expression turned serious.
"Saint Spirit Throne, the Image Stone you brought has indeed exposed a serious issue in Eastern Capital City."
"However, I must confirm the authenticity of the image data."
"Where did this Image Stone come from?"
The audiovisual data recorded by the Image Stone could be forged.
With skillful manipulation and advanced face and voice-changing technology, it was possible to create a convincing fake.
Especially since Lord Ziyanyan was a Rank Nine powerhouse, the likelihood of being secretly filmed without noticing was low.
"Let me answer that question."
Chen Yu walked into the meeting room from outside.
Initially, he did not attend Yun Chenyu's meeting because it seemed boring.
After the vice presidents arrived, he separated from Yun Chenyu and wandered alone in the headquarters of the Professional Association.
Only when he sensed the arrival of a semi-divine being did he return.
When Emperor Monarch saw Chen Yu, his eyes involuntarily widened.
He quickly approached and tried to lead Chen Yu to the main seat in the meeting room.
"Why are you here? Please, have a seat!"
During the recent event of the arrival of the Demon God in Nine Peaks City, Emperor Monarch was one of the semi-divine beings who participated in the Soaring Dragon Empire's intervention.
Although he didn't exert much effort, he witnessed the entire event and naturally knew who Chen Yu was.
To put it bluntly, all the semi-divine beings on Blue Star combined were not a match for Chen Yu.
This was the consensus among all the semi-divine beings who participated.
Due to Chen Yu's clear growth trajectory on Blue Star and his high level of recognition within the Soaring Dragon Empire, the semi-divine beings directly revered Chen Yu as an ancestor, conducting family worship ceremonies regularly to ensure that their subordinates knew who he was and to prevent any arrogant juniors from offending Chen Yu.
Even Chen Yu's relatives and friends were labeled as untouchable.
