"Lord Lu, Chief Councilor Yan has sent you a hundred thousand taels of silver. Please, show him some mercy."
Lu Ping'an: "Take it! I love getting along with people."
The next morning, the entire Yan faction was seized, and ten million taels of silver were transported to the imperial treasury. The emperor wept in the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "Minister Lu truly is the incorruptible judge of Great Qian!"
Lu Ping'an: "???"
"Chief Councilor Lu, the Nine Heavens Gods and Demons have inverted the Southern Heavenly Gate and demand that Great Qian sacrifice thirty million lives to buy its survival!"
As the court officials despaired, Lu Ping'an silently removed his first-rank immortal crane robe, revealing a Nine Dragon Heavenly Demon Armor and an eighty-thousand-li Starpath God-Slaying Mothership.
"Back when I was the Demon Lord in the Ten Thousand Mountains, nobody dared ask me for protection money."
"Three hundred thousand special forces, heed my command! Follow me into the sky. Today, the Supreme Court is enforcing the law off-site. We're demolishing every illegal structure at the Southern Heavenly Gate!"
