Chapter 423 At This Moment, The Pressure Comes To Dongfang Xi
"Hmm, this shop looks good. Shall we go in and take a look?" Chen Yu stopped in front of a café and said to Lan Bumu.
"Hmm? Oh, sure!" Lan Bumu instinctively gave a positive response.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of Chen Yu, and the matter of the cult had long been forgotten.
For someone with a severe case of love-brain, nothing was more important than the person they liked.
When she looked up and saw the café sign, and then glanced at the interior decor, steam seemed to rise from her head.
This was not an ordinary café, but a couple's café.
The booths had a gentle color scheme, and the decor was filled with an ambiguous and romantic atmosphere. Some couples were even kissing as if no one else was around.
Chen Yu didn't notice, he had never been in a relationship, so how would he understand these things?
He just wanted to find a place to sit and relax.
After entering the café with Lan Bumu, he finally noticed the atmosphere around him.
But he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Lan Bumu blushed the whole time, either absentmindedly biting her spoon or staring at Chen Yu with a silly smile.
After leaving the café, Chen Yu took Lan Bumu on a shopping spree.
Lan Bumu was ecstatic, immersed in the joy of the date, and had long forgotten why she had originally sought out Chen Yu.
It wasn't until evening, when they reluctantly said goodbye to each other, that she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something.
The next day, she had originally planned to focus on her tasks, but when she saw Chen Yu, she couldn't help but invite him again, and naturally wasted another day.
Compared to Lan Bumu's happiness, Yu Wujian was in a state of anxiety.
After reporting the situation, she had expected the higher-ups of the empire to take action quickly.
But to her surprise, there was no response from the imperial headquarters for a whole day.
This was unbelievable in the Emergency Response Department.
The Emergency Response Department, with the word "emergency," represented that almost all of the department's work involved urgent matters.
There was no need to go through cumbersome procedures for everything, and they even had direct contact with Transcendent Level beings.
If necessary, the head of the department could report to the Heavenly Court within ten minutes.
How could there be no news when it involved the imminent arrival of a Demon God's true form?
Not only on the first day, but also on the second day.
And still no news on the third day.
Yu Wujian urged multiple times, but the response she received was always "under discussion."
"What on earth are they doing?"
In the office, a teacup was slammed hard on the ground.
If it weren't for the fact that the decision-makers were all Transcendent Level beings, Yu Wujian might have burst into curses.
"I've heard some information through my channels," Miao Zhangyue, who was equally anxious, said.
"It seems that the important figures in the Heavenly Palace have some disagreements about this matter."
"What?! Disagreements?!" Yu Wujian's face was full of disbelief. "At a time like this, they're still arguing about something?"
"The Abyss Demon God's true form is about to descend, what is there to argue about?"
"Do they have to wait until Cloud River Province and several surrounding provinces are destroyed before they can make a decision?!"
"We are the Soaring Dragon Empire, not the White Eagle Empire. How could it come to this?!"
"Azure Wave Monarch, be careful with your words!" Miao Zhangyue exclaimed in shock.
Daring to criticize Transcendent Level beings, that was asking for trouble.
Although the Transcendent Level beings of the Soaring Dragon Empire wouldn't punish those below them for such matters.
But as long as any Transcendent Level being found out about this, if they were unhappy, even a small amount of trouble would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble.
Meanwhile.
Above the city of Kyoto, in the Heavenly Palace Lingxiao Hall.
Just a few days ago, a meeting of demigods was held, and today nineteen demigods gathered together.
In the past hundred years, the demigods of the Soaring Dragon Empire have never gathered so frequently.
Compared to the spirited atmosphere a few days ago, all the demigods present today wore anxious expressions.
"Emperor Monarch Huayuan!"
A middle-aged man who appeared to be a demigod stood up abruptly.
"When are we going to wait until?!"
A few days ago, when Yu Wujing reported the situation, it alarmed the majority of the Soaring Dragon Empire's demigods.
The intention of the Abyss Demon God to descend in its true form is something that has rarely happened in the history of the entire Blue Star world.
Soaring Dragon Great Emperor immediately decided to issue a mobilization order nationwide, mobilizing all forces to stop the opening of the descent ceremony.
However, Emperor Monarch Huayuan suppressed the order, citing "it is not appropriate to mobilize troops and cause panic among the people."
And he promised to handle the matter himself.
At first, due to the recognition of Emperor Monarch Huayuan's prestige, everyone did not discuss it much and simply agreed.
But now, after a few days have passed, Emperor Monarch Huayuan has not taken any action, but instead restricted the large-scale operations of the Imperial Strategy Department and the Intelligence Department.
Not issuing a nationwide mobilization order is one thing, as it could easily cause panic and even disorder.
But suppressing the Strategy Department and the Intelligence Department, what does that mean?
After several days, all the demigods couldn't sit still.
Sixteen of the more impatient demigods forcibly brought Soaring Dragon Great Emperor and held a demigod meeting.
"I have my own way, you don't need to worry."
Emperor Monarch Huayuan still had a confident look, as steady as Mount Tai, without a trace of anxiety.
"But you have to come up with a plan!" one demigod said, "We are in a dire situation, how can we not worry?"
"That is the true form of the Abyss Demon God! It is not something that can be easily dealt with by weak avatars!"
"That's right, Emperor Monarch Huayuan, what plans or means do you have? Please explain to us." Another demigod spoke.
More than ten demigods present, including Soaring Dragon Great Emperor, all spoke up.
Even the Four-Direction Emperor Monarch, who has always had a close relationship with Emperor Monarch Huayuan, could only remain silent, with a hint of curiosity.
Dongfang Xi was speechless at this moment.
What could she say?
To explain to the demigods present that they should allow the seven Abyss Demon Gods to descend?
And then have Chen Yu kill them all?
Even the Four-Direction Emperor Monarch would think she had gone mad.
But now that things have come to this point, Dongfang Xi can only find reasons to justify her actions.
Regardless of whether this reason is reliable in the eyes of the demigods.
Any explanation, no matter how forced, is better than no explanation at all.
Due to Dongfang Xi's identity and strength, the demigods could only continue to wait.
However, even a fool can see that they have great dissatisfaction with Emperor Monarch Huayuan.
Even some demigods who are not close to Emperor Monarch Huayuan have begun to have doubts.
After the meeting ended, Dongfang Xi left confidently amidst the complex gazes of the demigods, maintaining her calm demeanor as if everything was under control.
"Chen Yu, oh Chen Yu, you have really given me a big problem!"
At this point, Dongfang Xi can only pray that Chen Yu doesn't mess things up.
At the same time, she closely monitors the situation in Cloud River Province and keeps the summoning seal of the higher gods in her hand at all times.
If Chen Yu can't handle the situation, then she can only ask the higher gods to come and clean up the mess.
"But I hope it doesn't come to that!"
