Gu Yi's voice rang out without the slightest concealment, echoing throughout Snow Moon Imperial City.
Countless Snow Moon citizens watching the imperial palace from outside wore expressions of shock.
"Did I hear that wrong? Monarch Gu Yi wants to unify the Qian Region?"
"He probably meant the Snow Region."
Most citizens of Snow Moon Kingdom only knew of the Snow Region. They did not know that beyond it lay the vastly broader Qian Region.
Thus, when they heard Gu Yi's words, their first reaction was that they must have misheard.
Even so, it was still astonishing.
Two years ago, Monarch Gu Yi had only just become the champion of the Snow Region Grand Competition.
Yet two years later, he possessed the strength to unify the Snow Region?
It was truly inconceivable.
Ordinary people would not even dare dream of such a thing!
"Arrogant!"
The experts from the Jade Emperor Royal Clan, East Sea Dragon Palace, and other factions shouted furiously, their voices shaking the entire imperial city. Countless weaker cultivators immediately turned pale.
"You, at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm, think you can unify the Qian Region?"
"Since you refuse to hand over the Jade Emperor Scripture, we shall take it ourselves!"
"You think the Sacred Rune Formation alone can stop us?"
"Join forces and break the formation!"
Prince Duanmu of the Jade Emperor Royal Clan looked as cold as frost. "Gu Yi, you stole the inheritance of my Jade Emperor ancestor. Your crime is unforgivable! You and all your family and friends will die for it!"
"Kill!"
Prince Duanmu stepped forward. Imperial Qi swirled around his body as he struck out with his palm. A massive hand seal of Imperial Qi descended from the heavens like a peerless jade seal, suppressing the nine heavens.
