Chapter 1495 - 1487: Attitudes of All Sides

Chapter 1495: Chapter 1487: Attitudes of All Sides

Remnant Sword Universe.

This is a universe ruled by sects, where the governance of the Remnant Sword Sect is powerful, boasting over twenty Molding Dao Realm martial artists residing.

But now, this universe has become the territory of the Han Country.

The Remnant Sword Sect has also become a force within the Han Country.

Inside the Sect Master’s hall.

The high-ranking members of the Remnant Sword Sect gather together, and in front of everyone, a stone of heritage is placed, recording the Qin Dynasty’s new laws.

"Abolish the slave system!"

"The Qin Dynasty’s court is too excessive!"

"No way, the Qin Dynasty’s new laws must absolutely not be implemented in the Remnant Sword Universe, otherwise our power will be halved!"

The many elders of the Remnant Sword Sect discuss amongst themselves, their expressions gloomy, expressing their discontent with the Qin Dynasty without a shred of respect for the court.

The Sect Master of Remnant Sword sits in the high seat, expressionless, his thoughts unknown to anyone.

"Sect Master, what shall we do next?"

After a while, the hall quiets down, and one elder steps forward, saluting respectfully to the upper seat.

"The Qin Dynasty can unify the lower and middle level universes, which isn’t simple!"

The Sect Master of Remnant Sword looked around and spoke sternly.

The many elders furrowed their brows.

Filled with anxiety.

To be honest, they only dared to complain within this hall, but outside, they dared not show any dissatisfaction towards the Qin Dynasty’s court.

It’s known that the lower and middle-level universes have been divided for trillions of years.

The Qin Dynasty’s ability to unify the two shows its formidable strength.

They absolutely dare not defy the Qin Dynasty.

Yet...

They are reluctant to give up immediate interests!

Because the Remnant Sword Sect governs the universe through the slave system.

Throughout the entire universe, aside from disciples of Remnant Sword Sect and their families, everyone else is a slave. For ease of management, they even divide slaves into five levels.

First-level slaves are the followers of the Remnant Sword Sect; they are a class of people sworn to loyalty, forming the foundation of rule in the Remnant Sword Universe.

Second-level slaves are merchants and specialized professionals; they pay taxes to the Remnant Sword Sect and only receive meager gains...

Third-level slaves are ordinary people...

As for the fifth-level slaves, they have no human rights and can be killed at will without any punishment!

It’s no exaggeration to say that the abolition of the slave system will dismantle the foundation of the Remnant Sword Sect’s rule.

"Sect Master, shall we suppress the Qin Dynasty’s new laws first, then try to engage the Han Country’s court, or even ally with the King of Han to resist the Qin Dynasty’s court?"

At this, a middle-aged man stepped forward to speak.

The Sect Master of Remnant Sword remained silent.

Suppressing the Qin Dynasty’s new laws is a capital offense.

"Sect Master, I’ve studied the Qin Dynasty, and its conquest of endless universes relies on dukedoms, meaning the Qin Dynasty has strong local forces but weak central power!"

"As long as we can align with the King of Han, we can disregard the Qin Dynasty’s court!"

"After all, we adhere to dukedom laws!"

The middle-aged man continued.

"That’s just your assumption!" the Sect Master of Remnant Sword said.

"Sect Master, do we still have a retreat? The new laws of the Qin Dynasty are literally pushing us to death..." the middle-aged man said anxiously.

"Enough!"

The Sect Master of Remnant Sword raised his hand to interrupt the middle-aged man.

Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Deliver the order to suppress the Qin Dynasty’s new laws and delay the announcement. This sect will make a trip to the Han Country!"

After speaking, his figure gradually faded!

The middle-aged man was correct, the Qin Dynasty is forcing them to death, and the Sect Master of Remnant Sword didn’t know if, after these new laws, the Qin Dynasty had other means.

If it did!

Then it’s like boiling a frog in warm water!

But in any case, he must struggle.

The future is carved out by effort.

What if he gambled and won?

Two days later.

The Sect Master of Remnant Sword arrived at the Royal City of Han Country, met Liu Che, and paid respectful homage saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Stand," Liu Che glanced at the Sect Master of Remnant Sword with some recognition and asked, "Did the Emperor’s new laws get implemented in the Remnant Sword Universe?"

"Your Majesty, I’ve suppressed the new laws, awaiting your command!" the Sect Master of Remnant Sword said softly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Che’s expression immediately darkened, and with a wave of his hand, a sword qi pierced through the Sect Master’s skull.

Boom!

Blood splattered.

The Sect Master’s body shattered, leaving only a soul.

Moreover, a sword qi was embedded in the soul, dissipating rapidly.

"Why?"

The Sect Master looked at Liu Che in bewilderment. He didn’t understand why, considering the heart he put into Liu Che’s considerations, he fell to a deadly fate.

"Suppressing the new laws, deserves death!"

"Instigating between Han Country and the court, deserves death of nine generations!"

Liu Che said calmly, "Isn’t life good? The court has never cared about you; as long as you follow the laws, you can keep your legacy. Why jump out?"

After speaking, he waved his hand to erase the Sect Master’s soul.

Before death, a hint of regret showed in the Sect Master’s eyes. He realized the Qin Dynasty wasn’t specifically targeting them, and the relationship between dukedoms and the court was more robust than he thought.

Being too clever brought about his own doom!

"Next comes a storm of bloodshed!"

Liu Che stood up, walked to the window, looking out at the boundless starlit sky.

The starry river is beautiful!

The stars shining brilliantly!

But beneath the beauty, how much filth is hidden, and how many are superficially submissive with alternative thoughts internally.

But he knows, in the forthcoming timeframe, many will be exposed.

...

Sculpture Universe.

Inside a certain hall, the rulers of this universe gather, revealing strong dissatisfaction and resistance on their faces.

The reason they resist the Qin Dynasty’s new laws isn’t only because it harms their interests but also because it affects their daily practice.

Their method of practice is absorbing faith power!

Yet the new laws explicitly state that all beings under the Qin Dynasty must worship the Emperor.

If new laws are announced, their followers will drastically decrease, rendering them unable to produce faith power, and thus unable to practice.

"No way!"

"We can’t announce the new laws!"

An old man clothed in a red robe, with red hair and beard, suddenly rose, slapping the table furiously, surrounded by flames, incinerating vast stretches of the starry sky.

"Silence!"

At the highest seat, an elderly man in a white robe spoke softly, "Fire God, do not act rashly; the Qin Dynasty’s strength is beyond our resistance, and don’t even think about resorting to deviant ways under absolute power, any tricks are futile!"

"Shall we just watch as the court takes away our followers?" Fire God said angrily.

"Or not?"

The elder in a white robe retorted, "Can you make the Qin Dynasty’s court change its mind? Or have the ability to fend off the Qin Dynasty’s attack?"

"Must we at least try!" Fire God said defiantly.

"No!"

The white-robed elder’s face changed suddenly, hurriedly raised his hand saying, "If you dare act carelessly, don’t blame me for being unforgiving; I don’t want to be implicated and face the execution of nine generations!"

Fire God: "..."

The rest in the hall: "..."

But hearing the white-robed elder’s words, they also dispelled the idea of resisting the Qin Dynasty.
