After the tribute ceremony ended, the discussions in the square did not cease.
The Demon Emperor looked at the slightly noisy crowd below, his lips curling into a slight smile, and he stood up abruptly.
The family heads below stopped their discussions immediately upon seeing this.
"Everyone, although today is the tribute ceremony, I have several matters to announce. First, regarding the rebellion," the Demon Emperor said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the family heads' faces turned solemn, showing expressions of focused listening.
"The Liu Family and Dashuo's rebellious actions are aggressive. Although it's been over ten years, I have not been able to completely eradicate them, causing continuous turmoil in several border states, which burdens my heart with guilt," Huangfu Yong said, his face showing a trace of shame.
