Empress Zhang was born into a commoner family and was chosen as a concubine.

Her appearance and figure are both top-notch.

Although she is over forty, she still retains seven or eight tenths of the charm she had in her youth.

Having ruled the harem for so many years, her cunning and scheming are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When Hua Rong landed in front of her with a look of panic on her face.

He frowned slightly, and instantly made a guess.

Sure enough, a young man walked in right after Hua Rong.

Eight years have passed, and Su Bai's appearance has not aged, but his temperament has changed drastically. Empress Zhang almost did not recognize him.

Su Bai's eyes, when looked directly at, actually stung her, a feeling even more terrifying than the aura of the Emperor Yan.

Despite the stinging pain, Empress Zhang, still the empress of a nation, stared directly at Su Bai, intending to overwhelm the cultivator with her presence. "Bai'er, why have you returned?"

"Having seen the Imperial Mother, why don't you pay your respects?"

Su Bai rolled his eyes. If he were just a cultivator with low Spirit Root and weak cultivation, he might actually have been fooled by Empress Zhang.

However, in those eight years, he not only cultivated immortality but also became a Sword Cultivator, and a Foundation Establishment Realm Sword Cultivator at that...

Given Su Bai's Su Bai as True Disciple Elder of the Jade Mist Sect, if he truly wanted to, he could overthrow any mortal Imperial Power with a single word, without even needing to take action himself.

"Was it you who poisoned my mother?" Su Bai frowned and looked directly at the Yan Kingdom of Yan.

Concubines born of concubines were required to address the Empress as "Imperial Mother." When Su Bai was a child, he had indeed addressed her as "Imperial Mother.

However, this ' Imperial Mother ' didn't give him a friendly look at the time.

"What kind of tone is that?" Empress Zhang suddenly stood up.

"Who told you to stand up? Sit down!"

Su Bai channeled his Spiritual Power, causing the wind to move without any force. Under the pressure of this Spiritual Wind, Empress Zhang sat down again.

"You dare lay a hand on me?" Empress Zhang was both shocked and furious, and finally lost her composure.

Hua Rong, standing to one side, kept his head down, not daring to utter a word. He had already realized that Su Bai was an extremely powerful cultivator, someone she couldn't possibly try to take advantage of.

For now, it's best to just play dead and keep your head down. As for Empress Zhang... let's hope she can get through this!

"But you poisoned my mother?" Su Bai asked coldly again.

"So what if I did it? Do you dare to murder your mother...?"

Before Empress Zhang could finish speaking, Su Bai formed Sword Art with his hands, and the Spiritual Power at his fingertips transformed into a Sword Qi that roared out.

Now that Su Bai possesses Sword Phantasm, the nature of his Spiritual Power has changed, making it incredibly easy for him to directly condense his Spiritual Power into Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi struck Empress Zhang Empress Zhang precisely in the neck, cleanly severing her head.

"Mother-killing? You are neither my biological mother nor did you raise me, so how can you say I murdered you?"

Su Bai shook his head and turned to leave.

"Ah!" The maids around them cried out and scattered.

Hua Rong trembled all over, intending to sneak away after Su Bai left.

Unexpectedly, Su Bai turned around again. "Come with me. I see your Martial Dao skills are quite good. After I leave, take good care of my mother and Su Yao, and I might spare your life."

Hua Rong was someone who had witnessed his strength from beginning to end, and Su Bai believed that she would be more loyal than anyone else from then on.

"Yes, Third Prince!" Hua Rong gritted her teeth and followed.

Su Bai Sky-Flying and headed straight for the front hall.

At this moment, the Emperor Yan was nestled in his Study, listening to music and watching dances.

The dozen or so young women in the courtyard made him feel much younger.

Buzz!

Su Bai flew through the Sky-Flying, his Spiritual Power forming a protective aura around him, and smashed through the Study wall to break in.

Who goes there?!

"An assassin!!"

Hua Rong, who was following behind, felt her scalp turn white, because she was shocked to find that the four Dragon Guard who were by the side of the Emperor Yan, all four of them Innate Master, gathered here.

She couldn't beat any of those four!

At that moment, they all attacked Su Bai simultaneously!

"The Four Symbols Return to Their Positions!" Jiang Wuya, one of the Dragon Envoys, roared first, his Black Iron Heavy Sword accompanied by a sound like Dragon's Roar cutting through the air.

Where the sword's edge passed, the air distorted into transparent ripples!

He once used this move to kill a low-level Demon Beast!

Su Bai remained expressionless, and Sword Qi shot out from his fingertip!

The Sword Qi struck the Black Iron Heavy Sword in his hand, and the sword shattered with a deafening roar.

The heavy sword fragments split into hundreds and pierced Jiang Wuya's body, killing him instantly.

The dragon envoy Xue Chan's joints made a soft popping sound Innate True Qi erupted, and the seventy-two Bone-Piercing Nails transformed into a silver rainstorm.

These hidden weapons, soaked in the Millennium Cold Pond Water, were extremely poisonous, yet they all stopped as they approached Su Bai's purple robe.

Su Bai exerted his full power on the [Object Manipulation Technique]. With the support of his Foundation Establishment Realm Divine Sense, the [Object Manipulation Technique] was already capable of manipulating objects weighing tens of kilograms. All the hidden weapons changed direction and shot back along their original paths at an even faster speed.

Before Xue Chan could detoxify himself, he turned into a pool of blood.

The other two dragon envoys turned to flee.

Su Bai unleashed two Sword Qi from his fingertips.

How could ordinary martial artists match the speed of the Sword Qi? They were immediately struck between the eyebrows by the Sword Qi and perished.

In the blink of an eye, all four dragon messengers perished.

Hua Rong, standing to one side, was stunned. She slapped herself hard for having the thought of attacking Su Bai earlier.

"Ah! It's Bai'er?" Only then did the Emperor Yan realize that the four dragon envoys were attacking his third son Su Bai!

I immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately understood why Su Bai had barged in.

"Bai'er, I will immediately take care of your mother's matter!"

"Zhang is treacherous and cunning, unworthy to be the empress. The empress should indeed be replaced!" Emperor Yan said.

Su Bai looked at his father's physical body and shook his head.

He has absolutely no backbone; I really don't know how he secured his throne.

"No need, I've already killed Zhang," Su Bai said.

"Huh?" The Emperor Yan looked completely bewildered.

Just then, Mother Su led in a girl wearing soft armor.

However, Mother Su guessed some of Su Bai's intentions, so she came directly to the Emperor Yan's location to stop him.

The girl accompanying Mother Su is Su Yao, the younger sister of Su Bai's current body!

"Bai'er, you mustn't kill your father!!" Mother Su stepped forward and grabbed Su Bai.

She thought Su Bai was going to kill the Emperor Yan.

The Emperor Yan trembled with fear and begged for mercy, calling out Mother Su's childhood name.

Su Bai rolled his eyes. "Who said I was going to commit patricide? I'm just letting the old man become the Grand Supreme Emperor!"

"Huh? I'm going to be the Grand Supreme Emperor?" Upon hearing that he wouldn't die, the Emperor Yan immediately returned to normal.

"Nonsense! You are utterly incompetent, as evidenced by the chaos in the harem. If you are allowed to govern, the foundation of the Yan Kingdom will be ruined in your hands sooner or later!"

"You're still not satisfied with your Grand Supreme Emperor listening to music and watching dances every day?" Su Bai frowned.

The Emperor Yan scratched his head, seemingly agreeing. "Then who will be emperor? We can't just appoint Crown Prince, can we?"

The Emperor Yan still has some political Consciousness. The Crown Prince is Empress Zhang's eldest son, and now Empress Zhang has been killed by Su Bai with a single Sword Qi.

It was naturally impossible to allow this prince to succeed to the Crown Prince.

It would be a miracle if I didn't get beheaded in the future.

Su Bai pointed at Su Yao, who looked completely bewildered, "Of course it's Su Yao, who else could it be?"

Consort Ling only gave birth to him and Su Yao.

Now that he's gone to cultivate immortality, Su Yao naturally has to take over the mortal realm.

Otherwise, if a single letter required a trip to the mortal realm, how could one even cultivate immortality?

"Ah? Yao Yao?" The Emperor Yan was quite surprised.

"Huh? But Su Yao is only twenty years old, and she's still a girl..." Mother Su also found it somewhat unbelievable.

Su Bai, however, made a decisive decision. "Summon all the ministers immediately. I don't have time to play games with you all. Let's complete the abdication today."

In summary, to avoid future complications, Su Yao should be made Empress directly.

As long as Su Yao remains in power, neither Mother Su nor the Emperor Yan are likely to suffer persecution from mortals.

If Su Yao were to abdicate one day, then her Mother Su Father Su essentially be no longer alive.

In this way, most of Su Bai's most important karmic Karma in the mortal world were eliminated, so he naturally no longer needed to worry about the future.

Allowing Su Yao to succeed to the throne is the most advantageous option for Su Bai.

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to Bai'er. However, there are several powerful interest groups among the officials, and you, Bai'er, need to deal with Thunder and decisively..." Perhaps thinking of the Grand Supreme Emperor's happy life, the Emperor Yan immediately agreed to Su Bai's suggestion.

"Hey, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?" Su Yao finally got a chance to interject.

Su Bai: "You just need to prepare to succeed to the throne as Empress."

Emperor Yan: "Yaoyao, be good, stop making a fuss. I'll hand over the throne to you soon."

Mother Su: "Yaoyao, listen to your brother."

Su Yao: "..."

Although she knew that she and her mother had benefited greatly from her Big Brother's cultivation, it seemed like they had reaped a bit too much benefit. Why was she suddenly going to become Empress?

She seemed to prefer being a female general charging into battle to being an emperor...

Soon, Su Bai summoned his ministers to the front hall.

Su Yao, completely bewildered, was dragged to have a new royal robe made on the spot.

On the mat, the Emperor Yan announced the abdication.

"Absurd! I disagree!" The dignified prime minister of the Yan Kingdom was the first to stand up.
