At this moment, in the imperial court.

The civil and military officials of the Maple Leaf Dynasty were extremely excited.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

"First place in the Hundred Dynasties War! What an honor!"

"Truly, the heavens bless our Maple Leaf Dynasty!"

"Our Maple Leaf Dynasty shall rise to greatness!"

"..."

The officials were excited.

They never imagined that their Maple Leaf Dynasty could achieve first place in the Hundred Dynasties War.

After hearing what the officials said, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

These officials kept saying these things, but not one of them thanked Chen Changqing.

After all, Maple Leaf Dynasty's success this time was entirely due to Chen Changqing.

Without Chen Changqing killing so many Cultivators and gaining a large number of Points within the Secret Realm, she simply couldn't have accomplished this with her own strength.

The more Liu Ruyan thought about it, the angrier she became, so she stood up and said:

"Mother!"

"My daughter's excellent results this time are all thanks to Changqing Brother Changqing."

After Liu Ruyan's words, Empress Liuye nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Chen Changqing, and said calmly:

"Changqing."

"Thanks to you so much this time."

"Without your help, my Maple Leaf Dynasty could not have won the Champion of the Hundred Dynasties War."

As soon as Empress Liuye uttered these words, the officials in the hall finally reacted and hurriedly looked at Chen Changqing, showering him with compliments:

"Young Master Chen is truly a peerless talent!"

"It is truly a great fortune for the Shu Mountain Sacred Land to have such an unparalleled genius as Changqing Friend Changqing."

"Young Master Chen has made a tremendous contribution to the Maple Leaf Dynasty's achievements this time. Please accept my bow!"

"..."

Chen Changqing paid no attention to the polite compliments from the numerous officials.

After all, he had promised Liu Ruyan that he would help her accomplish something.

Now that the Hundred Dynasties War has ended, he helped Liu Ruyan win first place, which can be considered as fulfilling his promise.

At the same time, all the princesses, including Liu Shi, looked at Chen Changqing, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Before the Hundred Dynasties War began, they had all visited Chen Changqing, trying to win him over.

After all, Chen Changqing is the number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking, so his strength must be extraordinary.

Unfortunately, they were all rejected in the end.

Although they knew Chen Changqing was very strong, the princesses did not expect Chen Changqing to be able to do such a thing.

He single-handedly helped Liu Ruyan accumulate so many Points, allowing her to top the Hundred Dynasties War Points Leaderboard.

"If only I had his help back then."

"Now, first place is mine."

Liu Shi muttered to herself.

Just then, Empress Liuye glanced at everyone in the hall, then solemnly announced:

"Gentlemen."

"The Hundred Dynasties War has now come to an end."

"With the help of Changqing, our Maple Leaf Dynasty won first place."

"And he is the assistant of the Ninth Imperial Princess, Ruyan."

"Therefore, I hereby declare..."

At this point, Empress Liuye paused.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall tensed up, already guessing what Empress Liuye was about to announce.

After a slight pause, Empress Liuye continued:

"The next Empress of the Maple Leaf Dynasty is the Ninth Imperial Princess, Liu Ruyan!"

As Empress Liuye made her announcement, everyone in the hall turned to look at Liu Ruyan.

Congratulations, Your Highness the Ninth Imperial Princess!

"Under the leadership of Her Highness the Ninth Imperial Princess, our Maple Leaf Dynasty will surely prosper in the future!"

"..."

Numerous officials offered their compliments.

Seeing this, the princesses, including Liu Shi, were filled with resentment, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

Chen Changqing's side was simply too powerful.

Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator can defeat Spirit Transformation expert!

It's terrifying to even think about.

Upon hearing Liu Ye's announcement, Liu Ruyan was deeply moved.

After all these years, her wish has finally come true.

All of this stemmed from her taking a liking to Chen Changqing.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Liu Ruyan turned her gaze and looked at Chen Changqing with deep affection.

Just as she was about to say something, something unexpected happened.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura descended upon the Maple Leaf Dynasty, its powerful pressure instantly enveloping the entire Imperial City.

"This..."

What happened?

"Is there an invading enemy?"

"What a terrifying aura! They must be at least at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, right?"

"Who dares to cause trouble in the Imperial City of my Maple Leaf Dynasty?"

"..."

Many officials were shocked and discussed among themselves. Under the oppressive aura, they felt as if they could hardly breathe.

Immediately following, a furious roar, like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded:

"Chen Changqing!"

"Get out here right now, Your Majesty!!"

The sound was like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounding in the hearts of everyone in the Imperial City.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing frowned.

It was obvious to me.

The person who came was probably here to seek revenge.

After all, he had previously killed many princes of the Nine Great Dynasties in the Secret Realm of the Hundred Dynasties War.

The crucial point is that these things were exposed by the Human King.

At the same time, Liu Ye, who was sitting on the throne, changed her expression drastically upon hearing this voice.

She knew who this person was, though others might not.

"I didn't expect the Chu Emperor to arrive so quickly!"

"It seems they didn't even return to the Great Chu Dynasty, but went straight to our Maple Leaf Dynasty!"

Empress Liuye muttered to herself.

Unexpectedly, the Chu Emperor arrived so quickly.

She had originally planned to discuss leaving with Chen Changqing after the court assembly ended.

Who knew that our enemies would come knocking on our door so quickly?

"This?"

At this moment, Liu Ruyan also looked terrified.

He knew very well that Chen Changqing had killed so many princes in the Secret Realm, and the opposing Imperial Dynasty would certainly not let it go.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, another angry shout echoed from the void outside the Imperial City:

"Chen Changqing!"

"Come out and face your death!"

"Chen Changqing, you killed my Nine Li Dynasty's prince, today is your death day!"

"..."

As angry shouts echoed throughout the Imperial City, everyone was stunned.

They only knew that Maple Leaf Dynasty had won first place in this Hundred Dynasties War, but they were unclear about the specific process.

"Um?"

Empress Liuye's expression turned even more unpleasant upon hearing this.

He had just thought that only the Chu Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty had come.

But as things stand now, it seems there's much more to it than that.

"These auras belong to the emperors of the Nine Li Dynasty, the Flame Dynasty, and the Azure Wood Dynasty?"

"Is everyone here?"

Liu Ye muttered to herself, her expression grave.

At this moment, someone came to report from outside the hall, and he spoke in a trembling voice:

"Your Empress, something terrible has happened!"

"Chu Emperor and his entourage have arrived outside the Imperial City to challenge them!"

Upon hearing this report, all the officials in the hall were dumbfounded.

"This?"

"The Chu Emperor?"

"The emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, the foremost of the Nine Great Dynasties?"

"Why is he here? And why did he threaten to kill Young Master Chen?"

"Did Young Master Chen make so many enemies during the Hundred Dynasties War?"

"Judging from the looks of it, it seems quite a few princes have been killed?"

"What... what should we do?"
