Indestructible God King - Chapter 135
Chapter 135.1 The Very Thoughtful Wang Ke (1/2)
Qing Capital—at the royal palace!
The group of powerful cultivators pointed their swords at Zhu Yan. The latter wrote the edict to officialize the transfer of his throne. He also wrote down an authentication piece to validate his father’s imperial edict.
Not once did he dare any signs of retaliation. He wore a fake smile, but his heart was beyond sour.
Damn it! Didn’t I come here to stop Wang Ke’s relative from becoming the emperor? Why am I helping him instead? I’ll be in deep sh*t if Parlor Lord Zi Bufan learns of this!
It’s been a good while since I called for help. Why haven’t my fellow demons showed up? What’s taking them so long!
Zhu Yan ran out of choices. And so, he was about to finish the imperial edict—
“Stamp it with your imperial seal! Quick!” Zhao Si urged with staring eyes.
“Haa!” Zhao Si’s juniors raised their swords.
Zhu Yan’s face twitched in fear. He quickly took his imperial seal and stamped the two edicts he wrote.
“Baaam! Baaam!”
The two edicts were effective immediately. It was also a sign that Wang Ke’s big cousin-brother had officially succeeded to the throne.
The process wasn’t merely something agreed between Wang Ke and the old officials; it had also been authenticated as an orthodox succession.
What was the most important thing when it came to the succession of emperors in the Mortal Zone? Orthodoxy!
“We salute our Emperor!” an old official bowed respectfully to Wang Ke’s big cousin-brother.
“We salute our Emperor!” all the other officials followed.
Big cousin-brother was in a daze. I was still thinking about the possibility mentioned by our Clan Lord yesterday. And today, it’s already settled? Our Clan Lord is awesome indeed!
Wang Ke looked at his big cousin-brother and asked, “Okay, we now have a legitimate imperial edict. We don’t have to teach you about the rest, do we?”
“Thank you, Clan Lord!” Big cousin-brother bowed at Wang Ke.
I’d be a fool if I were still unsure about what to do at this point!
Wang Ke continued, “Good. Take these officials to the imperial court and discuss the options to restore the empire. Remember, these elders contributed greatly to establishing the empire. Scratch that, I mean, they contributed greatly to prevent the empire from falling apart! You must treat them well, since they saved the empire. Give them a medallion to exempt them from capital punishment!”
“Understood!” his big cousin-brother responded respectfully.
“Thank you, Immortal Wang Ke!” The old men offered grateful bows at Wang Ke.
The latter’s actions had helped in reinstating all their power and authority, which would in turn help their clans to continue prospering. All of them would benefit from that arrangement.
They had moral justification! They had orthodox legitimacy! And they had all the benefits to gain! Who among them would not agree to do their part?
Wang Ke had the highest authority in his clan; his big cousin-brother obeyed him naturally. As for the medallions? How much longer could those old men live? It didn’t matter. Wang K would simply hand out those medallions freely since they couldn’t be passed on to the next generation.
“Go ahead!” Wang Ke said.
His big cousin-brother took the old officials to the open plaza.
Zhu Yan stretched out a hand, but none of the officials turned to look at him. Damn it. No one cares about me now? I’m the Great Qing’s Emperor!
“A bunch of ungrateful scum, ptooey!” Zhu Yan raged.
He really wanted to slap all those old fellows. You were so respectful before! You ignore me now that I’m no longer the emperor? Was our relationship that superficial? And you, Vice-minister of Revenue! You brought me here, yet you were the quickest to leave? Didn’t you have trouble walking?
Zhu Yan was furious, but the swords were still pointing at him and he couldn’t escape.
“Thank you, Brother Zhao Si, for backing me up!” Wang Ke thanked the man with a smile.
Zhao Si patted his chest and said, “It’s my duty. We would have shown up for tea a long time ago if I knew that the Wang Clan in the Qing Capital was related to you. Many of the military clans in the empire are being backed by immortal sects. But none of them can compare to your clan! Brother Wang, you are such a virtuous person. Now that your relative has become the emperor, I’m sure you will keep him in check; this will be helpful for the people! Don’t worry, the Dragon Gate Assembly is right around the corner. I’ll be sure to gather fellow righteous sect disciples that were once trapped on Divine Dragon Island and tell them about the Qing Capital’s Wang Clan! I can’t do much, but at least I can make things easier for the Wang Clan!”
“Thank you!” Wang Ke laughed heartily.
“You’re being too courteous. I heard that you’re the East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord. Is that so?” Zhao Si asked curiously.
“I’m not qualified! My cultivation is too weak. It only came to pass because my senior apprentice-brothers gave me their support!” Wang Ke replied humbly.
“Brother Wang, how can you say that? What do you mean by saying you’re not qualified? You are such a virtuous person! You infiltrated the demon’s den our righteous brothers. No one has been able to do that! Aside from Chen Tianyuan, I will only submit to you, Brother Wang! You deserve to be the East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord!” Zhao Si said in excitement.
“You flatter me!” Wang Ke replied courteously.
Zhu Yan’s face was black as coal. Damn, your rounds of sweet nothings are making me sick. What’s with the flattery?
“Wang Ke, they also heard that your God Wang Company is selling insurance!” Zhang Zhengdao said expectantly.
“Oh? You guys are interested in the ‘Accidental Death Insurance’ too?” Wang Ke asked.
Zhao Si sighed in amazement, “That’s right. Although I wasn’t able to attend your company’s opening ceremony, we heard much about it while God Wang Tower was being built! Zhang Zhengdao told us what an insurance plan is. We wouldn’t have believed it if another person was selling, but since it’s Brother Wang, I believe in your good intentions. This must be a move to help all righteous disciples! How thoughtful of you!”

“Sigh, I only wanted to do something good for everyone! I’m not forcing anyone; those who trust me can buy the plan! I won’t be pushy if you don’t trust me!” Wang Ke said with a smile.
“I trust you! Who could I trust if I don’t even trust Brother Wang?” Zhao Si said sincerely, “Zhang Zhengdao was using too many fancy words and exaggerated some parts, so I didn’t believe him. I only believed him when he said that you are the one who started the God Wang Company! We’ll soon be going to the Dragon Gate Assembly to choose new disciples for our sect! We’re expecting a major clash with the demon faction during the event! I brought my juniors over to buy insurance plans!”
“Oh yeah?” Wang Ke looked at Zhao Si and said, “That’s good! The price though…!”
“It’s okay. We have money!” Zhao Si said, patting his chest confidently.
There was not much Wang Ke could say after that.
He immediately summoned his subordinates to prepare the paperwork and started signing in front of everyone.
“Piak! Piak! Piak!”
The God King Seal was stamped on the contracts. The insurance plans were ready shortly after!
Zhao Si and his juniors paid a hundred thousand spirit stones to Wang Ke.
Zhu Yan was dumbfounded as he witnessed the process.
What the hell? Wang Ke gave each of you a piece of paper, and you guys gave him a hundred thousand pounds of spirit stones in exchange? Are you guys nuts? Zhu Yan was shocked by what he saw.
He remembered the days when he sold tea eggs back on Divine Dragon Island, and then made a quick comparison with how quickly Wang Ke made money. This is so unfair! Why? Why!
“Brother Zhao Si, I hope you guys never need to use this insurance!” Wang Ke said seriously.
“Thank you for your good wishes!” Zhao Si and his juniors expressed their thanks.
Zhu Yan’s face twitched uncontrollably. What did I just hear?
Wang Ke just wished that you paid a hundred thousand pounds of spirit stone for nothing?
And you thanked him for it?
“Damn it. What the hell did I just see!” Zhu Yan exclaimed with red eyes.
