The Emperor Put in His Place
"This traitor, how dare he claim to be emperor?"
Upon learning of Qin Yan's actions, Hongwen Emperor angrily overturned his imperial desk.
The palace maids and eunuchs on both sides trembled, their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.
Xia Chengqian watched all of this with an expressionless face.
Qin Yan's rise to power was too rapid, especially with a group of outstanding individuals under his command!
The Yunqing Two Prefectures developed at an unbelievable speed under his rule.
Every household has surplus grain, and everyone can go to school.
The vibrant vitality it displayed made the entire Great Li feel breathless.
In particular, the other side is developing Martial Dao at an extreme pace, and the techniques they release to the people are all top-tier martial arts!
Even the Great Li of today secretly stole those cultivation techniques and allowed the army to practice them privately.
The current Great Li has completely adopted all the strategies laid out by Qin Yan.
The effects were extremely noticeable, with the army's combat effectiveness increasing significantly in a short period of time.
But in Xia Chengqian's eyes, all of this was just learning a little bit of the trick.
The real core of the problem is that the imperial court, powerful families, and other influential clans are all vehemently resisting it.
Qin Yan's existence has shaken their fundamental interests.
Everyone wanted to tear him to pieces.
However, the opponent's formidable fighting power forced them to back down.
There are only a handful of people in this world who can defeat him.
But none of them were under their command.
A sense of fear permeated the entire court. Though they didn't say it out loud, they understood it better than anyone else.
If it weren't for the suppression by the three major immortal sects!
Qin Yan would probably have unified the world long ago, and all of these people present would have to go to the gallows!
Even Xia Chengqian had to admit that Qin Yan's power had made them all feel hopeless.
Even without considering the intervention of top experts, Qin Nian's army of over 100,000 would be enough to sweep across the world without any suspense!
This is not just Qin Yan's strength.
Instead, everyone on the other side is abnormally powerful!
The advancements and iterations of weaponry exceeded all of their comprehension.
Just recently.
A terrifying explosion suddenly occurred in a remote mountainous area of Yunzhou.
Several hilltops were leveled, and a huge crater was created in the center.
The enemy's weaponry far surpasses theirs.
Such a terrifying explosion could wipe out the entire Capital in an instant.
Hongwen Emperor was deeply disturbed after learning of this.
An indescribable fear lingered in my heart.
A weapon that can wipe out hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in an instant, no matter how many troops they have amassed.
The opponent can also be destroyed in an instant.
The depth and resources of the Wu Kingdom have already surpassed their understanding.
It is likely that only the three major immortal sects can contend with it.
Xia Chengqian had been to Youshan Prefecture and witnessed the terrifying war potential of the Wu Kingdom.
He wanted to help Great Li, but his actions would infringe upon the interests of the major clans.
The result is obvious.
He faces daily impeachment from various officials.
Even his father criticized him harshly!
Xia Chengqian felt an indescribable weariness. He wanted to save the country, but everyone was stopping him.
They viewed him as an enemy.
"We can't let him continue to develop so recklessly."
It has reached a point where it must be eliminated.
Hongwen Emperor's eyes were cold and sinister; the pressure Qin Yan was exerting on him was simply too great!
Each day, as I read the intelligence reports sent back from Yunqing and Qingzhou, my heart sank a little further.
Qin Yan is a monster, and so are the people under his command.
Zong Xiaoshan Martial Dao prodigy who can now stand shoulder to shoulder with the older generation of strongmen.
He is about to become a legendary figure in the Martial Arts Myth.
Qian Ying, this freak, is even more terrifying. Every single thing he has researched is enough to overturn this era.
The Wu Kingdom is getting stronger every day!
Even if they wanted to reform, the gap was simply exhausting.
Under Qin Yan's leadership, those foolish people transformed into ferocious beasts.
Whether it's the military or the common people, the underlying Martial Dao knowledge within them has kept him awake at night.
The longer this continues, the more powerful the Wu Kingdom will become each day.
Hongwen Emperor has arrived at the Dao One Immortal Sect!
I request an audience with Sect Leader Dao Yi!
Hongwen Emperor was left waiting for half an hour before the Daoist Master sent a young disciple to invite him over.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Hongwen Emperor bowed respectfully, his face showing no sign of displeasure.
Ever since the Dao One Immortal Sect approached him, his status has plummeted.
Now he has to rely on the other party to maintain his rule.
"Your Majesty, what brings you to the Immortal Sect in such a hurry?"
The Daoist Master remained calm and composed, the immortal path reappeared, and the power of mortal emperors was ruthlessly suppressed.
If he's willing.
They could show the Hongwen Emperor the utmost disrespect, even making him kneel, and the latter dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
This is the era of immortality he has always dreamed of!
Mortal emperors would no longer dare to utter a word of rebuke towards them as they had in the past.
Even the highest-ranking emperors had to bow and scrape.
Although Hongwen Emperor was furious, he dared not show the slightest emotion on his face.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, this Qin Yan dared to establish a state without authorization; his intentions deserve to be punished."
I wish to request that Immortal Master Yunchen personally take action to slay this fiend!
To enhance the Great Li.
Hongwen Emperor spoke the truth.
However, the Daoist Master looked at the other party with an expression as if he were looking at a fool.
Who is Qin Yan?
Even if he wanted to kill this anomaly who threatened the development of the immortal path!
However, he had to admit that the other party possessed strength equal to that of the ancestor.
The Thunder Heavenly King of the Thunderclap Immortal Sect wanted to cause trouble for the other party, but the result was that he lost all face.
Moreover, Immortal Master Yunchen personally ordered that no one be allowed to provoke Qin Yan!
How could he possibly disobey the ancestor's decree!
The Daoist Master's gaze gradually turned cold, and he waved his hand.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. The Ancestor has his own arrangements for Qin Yan's matter; you don't need to worry about it."
"This...!"
Hongwen Emperor's face gradually turned red, but he had to suppress the anger in his heart!
That bastard really doesn't respect him at all.
He was the emperor of Great Li, and even this person used to treat him with great respect.
Now that they have a powerful backer, they dare to disregard me.
His teeth were practically grinding to powder.
Finally, he lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand!"
Filled with resentment, he left the Dao One Immortal Sect with no other choice!
"Snort!"
The Dao Yi Sect Leader snorted coldly, completely unconcerned about the other party's anger.
In the secret cultivation chamber behind the mountain!
As Immortal Master Yunchen continuously absorbed the energy from the Spirit Crystal, his aura became even more powerful and profound!
"Break!"
Immortal Master Yunchen uttered a single word, and that invisible, ancient barrier shattered instantly.
The power within his body flowed like a mighty river, no longer restrained.
Restored to the Fifth Realm!
A smile involuntarily appeared on Immortal Master Yunchen's face.
Without the help of Spirit Crystals, it would take a considerable amount of time to break through.
The stronger one is, the more confident one feels when facing those from beyond the realm.
