Su Xiuyi's white robe fluttered on the border between the Great Zhou and the Great Shang.
This white robe not only intimidated the Great Shang, but also other powerful entities that had revived.
After all, there are still skeletons here, the remains of Sage. Some people who covet the Great Zhou feel extremely uneasy whenever they think of those skeletons, and they suppress their covetousness.
After all, everyone knew that what had been attacked that day was merely a Spirit Character Avatar of a mysterious powerhouse from the Great Zhou.
No one knows just how powerful the mysterious expert of the Great Zhou truly is.
White-clad figures flutter at the border, guarding the nation's gate.
After receiving Su Xiuyi's affirmation and support, Emperor Su Yun of the Great Zhou Emperor felt his gloom disappear. Now that the world is experiencing its second revival, he naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to develop in such a great era.
After the battle between the Great Shang and the Great Zhou, the entire Human Realm became quiet.
Those forces that had withdrawn from the world also quietly cultivated and recovered, and the feudal lords and aristocratic families in various places were also very quiet. Those who were to pay homage paid homage, and those who were to offer tribute made tribute. It seemed that everything had returned to normal.
However, although everything seemed the same, Su Yun's expression had been somewhat somber these past few days.
As time goes by, the degree of Spiritual Qi recovery becomes more and more terrifying. Those powerful individuals who have been unsealed and recovered are constantly regaining their strength. Beneath the calm surface lies a hidden crisis. At this moment, the Great Zhou is turbulent.
However, Su Yun dared not take any offensive actions.
Although Su Xiuyi is present, repeatedly having Su Xiuyi take action only proves his incompetence.
Su Yun worked diligently, constantly gathering and training powerful individuals to rapidly improve his strength.
Furthermore, taking advantage of Su Xiuyi's existence, they plundered resources from the various vassal states.
Two years passed quickly.
The signs of time have appeared on Su Yun's face.
It feels like ten years have passed.
Su Xiuyi, inside the Myriad Text Academy, continued her daily practice, clearing out an area to plant flowers and raise dogs. It seemed that time had no power to leave any trace on her face.
" Sage Su, the Su Yun you chose is quite good. I originally thought that after receiving your approval, he would expand aggressively and intimidate various forces, after all, your strength is unparalleled."
"But unexpectedly, two years have passed, and apart from sending people to infiltrate the Great Shang and kill those three great Confucian scholars, Su Yun has made no further moves."
"They merely used your remaining influence to exploit the local lords and powerful families, seizing resources to supply the court with training experts. Moreover, they handled the situation very well. Those powerful families wanted to turn against them but felt it wasn't worth it. As far as I know, many lords and powerful families have awakened old monsters. Two years have passed, and they have probably accumulated considerable power."
"But Su Yun is no less impressive. In just two years, he has rebuilt the Night Watchers, which had been almost wiped out, and they are even better than before."
" The Greater Celestial Circuit enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests."
"He was indeed a good emperor."
Blood Dog lay in the Dao Comprehension Thatched Cottage and spoke to Su Xiuyi.
Blood Dog is Demon Race, and he has always been domineering. In his opinion, Su Yun's capital was destroyed, his ancestral temples were reduced to ruins, and he was chased for thousands of miles by the Great Shang. After suffering such a great humiliation, he would definitely have launched a massacre after gaining Su Xiuyi's support. However, he did not.
"This is a great humiliation, but Su Yun isn't stupid."
"To make a move at that time would be suicide, and I would also be disappointed in him."
"For an emperor, patience and forbearance are very important."
"There was once an emperor who was forced to crawl between someone's legs, but he endured it."
"After enduring hardship and biding their time, the three thousand Yue soldiers finally destroyed the enemy state."
"Of course, in this great era, the Great Shang are unfathomable, and Su Yun cannot achieve that."
"Moreover, I've calculated that the Great Zhou, which has been peaceful for two years, cannot maintain that peace any longer."
"The royal family has amassed power, but the local lords and powerful families haven't been idle either."
Su Xiuyi glanced at the empty space, a cold smile appearing on her lips.
With the revival of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the emergence of countless powerful beings, some people have become restless.
······
In the Golden Palace of the Great Zhou.
Today is the annual day for offering sacrifices.
However, the main hall was very quiet today, and the representatives from various feudal lords and noble families only brought some token gifts.
"Your Majesty, natural disasters have struck repeatedly today, causing great damage to the Spirit Herb Garden. There are no surplus pills and spiritual materials to offer as tribute this year. The Marquis is helpless as well. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."
The envoy of this feudal lord said apologetically.
Looking at the low-grade spiritual materials and pills, Su Yun knew perfectly well that someone was unwilling to make offerings. With the continuous recovery of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the quality of spiritual materials and medicines had improved countless times; these pills and materials were practically garbage.
Su Yun was well aware that, clearly, the various local lords and powerful families had accumulated sufficient strength in recent days.
"Presumptuous!"
"Envoy Qi, are you serious?"
"As far as I know, the Marquis of Marquis of Qi's fiefdom has had a bumper harvest today, with favorable weather. When did a natural disaster occur?"
At this moment, a great Confucian scholar looked at the envoy sent by the Marquis of Qi with a ferocious expression and questioned him.
Those eyes held a terrifying killing intent, their anger reaching its peak.
He knew that the Marquis of Qi was showing no respect for the royal family.
The members of the royal family were also furious.
But Su Yun didn't say anything, and they remained silent.
However, facing the terrifying killing intent, the envoy sent by the Marquis of Qi remained calm and immediately smiled, saying, " Lord Zhou, you seem to be out of the loop. Everyone knows that there have been one natural disaster after another this year. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the Marquis of Marquis of Qi's fiefdom and see for yourself."
"Now, within the fiefdom of the Marquis of Qi of Qi, evil spirits are constantly appearing, and people are living in misery."
Even among those who exist in the Saint Realm, deaths are not uncommon.
The messenger from the Marquis of Qi of Qi spoke with a smile, but the meaning behind his words was quite clear: you went to see it, and it was killed by demons; the Marquis of Qi will not take responsibility.
This blatantly reveals the attitude of the Marquis of Qi of Qi.
Offering sacrifices? No way!
Moreover, the envoy glanced at Su Yun subtly at that moment; he was testing Su Yun's attitude.
However, at this moment, a smile appeared on Su Yun's face.
Although he was furious, Su Yun had expected this.
Su Yun said calmly, "This year has indeed been a year of rampant natural disasters. The losses suffered by all the feudal lords and noble families have been extremely severe. I will not make things difficult for the local kings and noble families; this is not their fault."
"Natural disasters are rampant, and the people are suffering. I, the Emperor, have decided to hold a grand ceremony to worship Heaven. The ceremony will take place in one month."
"The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven is a major event for the Great Zhou. Marquis of Qi must attend!"
Su Yun's voice rang out in the main hall.
"Um?"
The envoy had initially thought that Su Yun was too preoccupied with managing the various kings and nobles, but he hadn't expected him to pull such a stunt.
The envoy knew that if he disobeyed orders now, he would lose his head. Su Yun had the potential to control the kings and nobles of the four directions and command the world.
Because the capital city is Su Yun's territory.
"Yes, I obey the Emperor's decree!"
The envoy hurriedly bowed in thanks and withdrew from the Golden Palace.
"Your Majesty, these feudal lords and powerful families of the land are plotting a rebellion, uttering such a ridiculous pretext!" The great scholar from before was furious.
"Wait!"
"I'd like to see who dares not to attend the grand sacrificial ceremony to Heaven!"
"During this time, get everything moving. I need evidence of rebellion by the princes and nobles of all directions. Once we have the evidence, we can make an example of them to deter others."
"They want to shake my Great Zhou? I'd like to see just how much power they've amassed!"
At this moment, Su Yun's expression was icy cold.
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, we obey!"
One of the ministers hurriedly knelt down.
Back in Hall of Bright Virtue, Su Yun was filled with anger.
"Damn it, damn Qi Heng! How dare he blatantly deceive me, the Emperor!"
Do you think I'm a fool?
"Natural disasters rage on, and evil spirits run rampant. I fear that Qi Heng is the greatest evil spirit. Investigate! Investigate for me! I demand evidence of Qi Heng's treason. If there isn't any, fabricate one. Infiltrate Qi Heng's territory with the Night Watchers. I want to control every move Qi Heng makes."
Su Yun's voice was extremely cold, and the temperature Hall of Bright Virtue plummeted instantly.
"Yes, Your Excellency obeys!"
A figure hidden in the shadows vanished in an instant.
The old eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although the Qi Clan's ancestor has awakened, our dynasty is not without support. There is no need to be afraid. It is time to show the might of the Great Zhou and let the world see."
At this moment, Su Yun's anger vanished, and he looked at the old eunuch with a solemn expression, "How is the King of Yan?"
Speaking of the King of Yan, Su Yun felt somewhat apprehensive. Among these kings and nobles from all directions, the King of Yan was an extremely powerful one, and the Heavenly Flame Royal Clan possessed an incredibly formidable foundation.
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the old eunuch immediately said, "Your Majesty, according to our spies, the offerings that King of Yan is making this year are three times more lavish than last year."
Three times?
"Is the King of Yan really that kind?"
"All the kings and nobles in the world are just going through the motions for me, yet the most powerful King of Yan is actually offering even more tribute. This is not right. Contact the Night Watchers are lurking in King of Yan's territory. I need to get answers to what King of Yan is trying to do."
Instead of being pleased, Su Yun Su Yun's face showed a solemn expression.
He felt uneasy.
However, the Night Watchers leader arrived soon after, his expression grave. "My lord," he said, "Major disaster has struck! Our Night Watchers, which infiltrated the King of Yan's fiefdom, has suffered heavy losses, losing less than a tenth of its strength. The intelligence network we built has been completely destroyed."
"According to the last message that came back, it seems that the Great Shang had contact with the King of Yan."
"The arrival of the King of Yan's envoy this time is probably not just for a simple offering of tribute."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun's expression instantly darkened.
As he had expected, it seemed that all the powers in the world could no longer resist.
The hard-won peace is about to be broken.
Myriad Text Academy, Blood Dog looked at Su Xiuyi curiously, " Sage Su, you are omnipotent. Which king or noble do you think will be the first to cause chaos in this world?"
" King of Yan!"
Su Xiuyi said calmly, as if she had already taken everything under control.
These days, Su Xiuyi's strength has become unfathomable, and her ' Spirit Character ' and ' Spirit Character have also improved considerably, making it much easier for her to predict things.
" The King of Yan?"
Blood Dog was somewhat skeptical; it wanted to see if Su Xiuyi truly knew the future.
