I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

He was a third-grade official, yet he was being demoted to a ninth-grade captain!

If this was not humiliation, then what was?

While Wang Mang was fuming, the cold voice spoke again.

"What? Are you unwilling? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangements?"

As soon as Emperor Ziwei finished speaking, Wang Mang felt the latter\'s terrifying gaze on him.

This made Wang Mang\'s scalp go numb, and his body became stiff, unable to move. He did not even dare to look up at Emperor Ziwei.

Wang Mang hurriedly suppressed the raging anger in his heart and lowered his head respectfully. "I am willing to accept the emperor\'s decree!"

Emperor Ziwei nodded in satisfaction. "Alright! Get out! The soldiers outside the palace will take you to your post."

As soon as he finished speaking, a token was thrown at Wang Mang\'s feet. Upon the token was engraved, "Captain, Ninth-grade."

Wang Mang suppressed his anger and picked up the token. He respectfully said, "I will take my leave first, Your Majesty."

With that, Wang Mang prepared to leave, but a cold voice rang out from the throne.

"In the future, in front of me, you have no right to call yourself a minister. You will call yourself a scoundrel instead."

"Ant, remember this!"

"As Your Majesty\'s instructs," Wang Mang replied respectfully,"I\'ll take my leave then."

With that, Wang Mang turned around and left the Ziwei Imperial Palace respectfully. Inwardly though, he was already burning with rage. He had been completely humiliated!

Not only had he been demoted six grades, but he had been insulted to his face! One could imagine how much Wang Mang hated Emperor Ziwei right now…

\'B*stard, just you f*cking wait!\'

\'How dare you humiliate me like this today! I\'ll definitely kill you in the future!\'

This was the first time Wang Mang had suffered such humiliation. As long as he had the opportunity and was strong enough, he would kill this accursed b*stard!

However, Wang Mang knew that he was still very weak compared to a Quasi-Sage like Emperor Ziwei…

Thus, he had to bide his time. Once he left the Ziwei Imperial Palace, the silver-armored general in charge of guarding the palace glanced at Wang Mang and said coldly, "Come with me! I\'ll take you to the military camp to await your orders."

With that, the silver-armored general led Wang Mang in a certain direction.

Half an hour later, their pair arrived at the military camp, which was filled with soldiers and officers. There were at least a million people in the land immortals here, as well as countless Earth Immortal and Heaven Immortal realm cultivators.

On the other hand, Wang Mang did not see many Golden Immortal or even Taiyi Golden Immortal realm experts.

"This is the military camp. I\'ll bring you to meet the Heaven Monarch General."

As he spoke, the silver-armored general led Wang Mang into the main tent at the center of the military camp.

Inside this huge tent, there were nearly a hundred generals, and all of them were Golden Immortal realm experts or higher! There were even 20 Taiyi Golden Immortal realm experts!

These twenty golden-armored generals obviously had very high statuses, as they sat very close to the general in the center, who was a Tier 5 expert!

Wang Mang was certain of this! This general was probably a bona fide Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

This general was tall and sturdy, with sharp eyes and an unusually powerful aura.

When he saw Wang Mang and the silver-armored general, he waved his hand, and those at the center of the tent made way.

Then, all of the generals turned to look at Wang Mang and the silver-armored general. The Heaven Monarch General asked curiously, "Little Bai, what is this about?"

Hearing this, the silver-armored general hurriedly said respectfully, "Great General, the emperor instructed me to bring him to join the military camp and have him appointed as a captain of the army."

All of the generals present were dumbfounded, and began to discuss among themselves.

"He\'s a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert, right? A mere captain?"

"Impossible! This has never happened in history, right?"

"He probably offended the emperor! Otherwise, why would the emperor not make use of his talents?"

15:04

"The problem is, who is going to command him?"

of his talents?"

"The problem is, who is going to command him?"

"That\'s true. He\'s strong enough to be a golden-armored general. If he were to become a captain, how would his superior feel? Would such an arrangement even work?"

Wang Mang was even more certain after hearing the discussions that Emperor Ziwei was indeed targeting him!

Although Wang Mang did not know the reason behind the emperor\'s attitude and behavior, his hatred for Emperor Ziwei grew even stronger.

Just thinking about it made Wang Mang furious.

At this moment, the system\'s voice rang out.

[Ding! Host\'s current status detected! The host is given the following mission options!]

[Mission 1: Endure Emperor Ziwei\'s humiliation and compromise!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 1 million energy points!]

…

[Mission 2: Endure Emperor Ziwei\'s humiliation. Gain control of five million soldiers and wait for the right price to jump ship!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 1,000,000 energy points, Immortal Treasure Chest x1, Immortal-grade Gacha x1!]

…

[Mission 3: Endure Emperor Ziwei\'s humiliation and wait for your strength to increase greatly before killing Emperor Ziwei! Seize the throne!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 5 free evolution opportunities, Immortal Treasure Chest x3, Immortal-grade Gacha x2!]

…

After seeing the mission options, Wang Mang was stunned.

The system was quite audacious! Killing Emperor Ziwei? Seizing the throne?

Even if he could kill Emperor Ziwei, would the other five of the Six Royals let him off? Sure, he could use Demon God\'s Fury to become stronger, but his cultivation level would drop like a rock after that.

Therefore, the third mission option was not feasible, despite how much he wanted to kill Emperor Zi Wei. There was no need to consider the first mission either, as Wang Mang would never take things lying down.

The second mission option was the best choice.

After he gained control of five million troops, he would jump ship. There would definitely be people interested in recruiting him and his army. He just had to find the right fit among the other Six Royals.

All in all, the second mission could be said to be the safest. Hmph! Since this fellow treated him like dirt, he would use him and then dump him!

\'Eat sh*t motherf*cker!\'

"System, I choose Mission 2!"

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to get your reward!]
