"Then so what?" Xu Zimo replied.
"If Great Qin is unwilling, then we'll replace the king.
"If the Heavenly Court refuses to behave, then we'll replace the Heavenly Emperor. It's no great matter."
Hearing Xu Zimo's words, Yu Qingcheng trembled all over with rage.
He pointed at Xu Zimo, his lips cracked and dry. "Rebellious! This is sheer rebellion!"
"Idiot." Xu Zimo sneered.
Too lazy to pay him any attention, he instead turned his gaze toward Jiang Chenyu.
"You dared to protect someone I want dead. Then pay the price."
"I admit it, I underestimated you somewhat," Jiang Chenyu said.
"But Great Qin is not a place where you can cause trouble."
An inexplicable aura rose around Jiang Chenyu, soaring straight into the heavens.
This aura was exceedingly special. Faint starlight descended amid an ethereal blue radiance, like the thoughts of a sage.
"Heaven's will commands thunder."
Jiang Chenyu's gaze was solemn, her voice devout yet clear and crisp. Without anyone realizing it, it made people willing to believe her.
And it was more than merely making people believe her. It was as though her words could make the entire world believe.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning truly descended from heaven and struck toward Xu Zimo.
With a boom.
The lightning did not strike Xu Zimo, but landed on a chair beside him.
Its warning was unmistakable.
"Leave Chang'an City now, and I will let bygones be bygones," Jiang Chenyu said.
"Word is Law?" Xu Zimo asked with interest.
It was his first time seeing such a method of attack.
So-called Word is Law meant altering certain rules, allowing heaven and earth to bring things into being according to her words.
This method was neither particularly difficult nor particularly simple.
The key was how much you could alter.
