Chapter 595 - 497: This is a Spendthrift (Second Update)
"My king, these are all the relatives of the Celestial Demons who were buried alive..."
Seeing Yang Tian standing there expressionless, the Celestial Slayer stepped forward.
"I am naturally aware of that!"
Yang Tian said indifferently.
"Their sons, husbands, and brothers sacrificed themselves for the Celestial Demon Race, transformed into humans through powerful magic. The original intention was to enter the human world and carve out a vast territory for the Celestial Demon Race. Unfortunately, they became an ominous sign of the Demon God..."
The Celestial Slayer deliberately raised his voice.
"An ominous sign of the Demon God?"
Thousands of Celestial Demons became agitated.
"My son sacrificed for the Celestial Demon Race, and when the Demon God comes, it can only mean rewards!"
"If my husband is an ominous sign, then the entire Celestial Demon Race should perish!"
"Who exactly said my brother is an ominous sign? And how was the Demon God's omen determined?"
A heated discussion erupted.
Numerous Celestial Demon Ministers stood there, a trace of a sneer in their eyes, all waiting for Yang Tian's response.
Even in the eyes of the Celestial Slayer, there was a hint of anticipation.
These relatives of the Celestial Demons were called here by people he sent, with the purpose of causing trouble.
Thirty years ago, Wu Tiandu entered here, determined to become the Celestial Demon King.
Along his path, many Celestial Demons perished by his hand, and even the Celestial Demon Prime Minister was driven away by him. Now, given the chance to eliminate the Celestial Demon King, he was more than willing.
Yang Tian glanced at the agitated demons, his gaze then fell on the Celestial Slayer.
After a moment, Yang Tian coldly smiled, "Celestial Slayer, step back. I will handle this matter!"
"Yes!"
The Celestial Slayer replied.
But his eyes were full of ridicule.
After the Celestial Slayer stepped back, Yang Tian called the Old Demon over and asked in a low voice, "As the Celestial Demon Eunuch by my side, I have a few questions for you!"
"My king, this slave is willing to answer all of your questions!"
The Old Demon said respectfully.
"Where is the vault in the Demon Palace?"
Yang Tian asked.
"The vault?" The Old Demon was taken aback, then said, "My king, are you referring to the Demon Vault? But don't you know where the Demon Vault is?"
Yang Tian's face tightened, "After I went into retreat, I didn't concern myself with these matters! You just need to tell me what's inside the Demon Vault!"
"What's inside the Demon Vault?" The Old Demon was again taken aback and said, "The Demon Vault contains the richest wealth of the Demon Palace, with Demon Gold, Demon Treasure, Demon Martial Arts, Demon Artifacts. It can be considered the treasury of the Celestial Demon Race."
"That'll do!"
Yang Tian waved, signaling the Old Demon to step back.
Afterward, he called the Celestial Slayer: "Celestial Slayer, pass on my order, open the Demon Vault, and distribute all the Demon Gold and Demon Treasure inside to these Celestial Demons!"
"What?!!"
The Celestial Slayer's face changed dramatically.
He originally brought people to stir up trouble, intending to take the opportunity to undermine Yang Tian.
But to his surprise, Yang Tian actually intended to distribute the wealth inside the Demon Vault? And to distribute all the wealth?
"Did you not hear clearly what I said?" Yang Tian deliberately raised his voice, "I want you to open the Demon Vault and distribute all the Demon Treasure and Demon Gold to the relatives of these victims, so they can live well!"
"What? You want to distribute the Demon Gold and Demon Treasure from the Demon Vault to us?"
The Celestial Demons, who had been crying and making noise, were taken aback when they heard this.
Then, their faces filled with joy.
It was well known that the Demon Vault was the largest treasure house of the Celestial Demon Race, filled with countless Demon Gold and Demon Treasure. Obtaining just one Demon Treasure could guarantee a lifetime of security, and receiving ten thousand Demon Golds could ensure a comfortable life.
Even if the family's breadwinner had died, they could still live a good life relying on these Demon Treasures and Demon Golds.
"My king, isn't this a bit too frivolous?"
A Celestial Demon Minister hastily stepped forward.
"Seeking death!" Yang Tian's face darkened, and he waved his hand, "Take him out and execute him!"
"Ah!??"
The demons were taken aback.
"Why are you still standing there? I told you to take him out and execute him, didn't you hear?"
Yang Tian shouted at the Celestial Demon Martial Guards on both sides.
"This slave obeys!"
A few Celestial Demon Martial Guards quickly stepped forward, dragging the unresponsive Celestial Demon Minister aside, and with a swift strike, his head was severed.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The demons stood frozen, each one becoming quiet and obedient.
"For every Celestial Demon who dies, grant their family fifty thousand Demon Gold and five Demon Treasures!" Yang Tian raised his voice and asked, "Ministers, do you have any objections?"
Each one hesitated to speak.
But in the end, they had to obediently remain silent.
After all, Yang Tian had just executed a Celestial Demon Minister who opposed him.
"If there are no objections, pass on my order to open the Demon Vault, distribute fifty thousand Demon Gold and five Demon Treasures to each household!" Yang Tian paused, then looked at the Celestial Slayer, "Celestial Slayer, this matter will be handled by you, and I will send the Old Demon to personally oversee you. Be sure to distribute the Demon Gold and Demon Treasure within half a day. If the Demon People continue to cause trouble, I will execute you!"
The Celestial Slayer lowered his head, his eyes filled with anger.
He had brought the Celestial Demons here to cause trouble, not expecting Yang Tian to distribute the Demon Gold and Demon Treasure from the Demon Vault.
"Why are you still standing there?" Yang Tian deliberately raised his voice, "These Celestial Demons are still waiting for the Demon Gold and Demon Treasure to live their lives. Do you want them to starve?"
As Yang Tian said this, tens of thousands of Celestial Demons looked towards the Celestial Slayer.
The Celestial Slayer's face turned sullen, but eventually, he said, "I will execute the king's orders now!"
"Wait..."
Yang Tian called to the Celestial Slayer again.
"What other instructions does the king have?"
The Celestial Slayer asked, expressionless.
"Roughly how much Demon Gold and how many Demon Treasures are in the Demon Vault?"
Yang Tian asked casually.
"Reporting to the king, the exact amount of Demon Gold and Demon Treasures in the Demon Vault, we have not specifically counted, but conservatively estimated, there are at least trillions of Demon Gold and tens of thousands of Demon Treasures!"
The Old Demon quickly replied.
"There are about fifty thousand households here, each entitled to fifty thousand Demon Gold and five Demon Treasures, and there will still be a lot of Demon Gold and Demon Treasures left in the Demon Vault." Yang Tian paused, then added, "When I was in retreat, I received the holy decree of the Demon God, not only to eliminate omens but also to benefit the Demon People. Therefore, all remaining Demon Gold and Demon Treasures will be distributed to the Demon People, including Demon Soldiers and Martial Guards inside the Demon Palace, and the Demon People outside, all can share!"
"What?!!"
This time, the Celestial Slayer finally couldn't hold back, jumping up in shock, "Distribute the Demon Gold and Demon Treasures to everyone?"
Not only him, but all the Celestial Demon Ministers stood up in horror.
Conversely, the Demon People and Demon Soldiers stared intently at Yang Tian, their eyes full of anticipation.
Yang Tian smiled inwardly.
His intention was to allow these Celestial Demons to live peacefully rather than attacking the human world, so he raised his voice and said, "What are you waiting for? Why not thank the king for his immense grace?"
In an instant, all the Demon People and Demon Soldiers knelt on the ground: "Thank you, my king, long live the king, long live, long live!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian, sitting in the chariot, couldn't help but curse, "What a prodigal!"
