Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the expressions on the ministers' faces changed drastically.
Tie Ling stepped forward anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, no! We are still alive and well. It's not your turn to personally intervene. Even if we shed our blood in the capital, we will definitely kill Song Weiyi within its walls. Supreme One Sect is delusional to think they can shake the foundations of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Indeed, Your Majesty. This old servant is still alive. I will absolutely not allow Your Majesty to take action before I die. The Great Zhou Dynasty is full of talented people and outstanding talents. Even if Song Weiyi Invincible in the world, if he comes to the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, he will have to be treated with utmost respect."
The old eunuch beside Su Yun stepped forward at that moment and hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
"Your Majesty, we old folks have lived long enough. The Supreme One Sect is bullying us like this; we will not let them get away with it. You don't need to intervene, Your Majesty. There are countless academies in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and our Jixia Academy is the foremost and the model for all academies. If our Jixia Academy cannot even stop a Supreme One Sect disciple of the Taiyi Sect, what face will our Jixia Academy have left?"
"Your Majesty, I will summon all the great Confucian scholars of the land and execute Song Weiyi before the capital."
"Your Majesty, please have faith in us!"
In the main hall, five great scholars stepped forward and hurriedly knelt down.
The foreheads of several of us elderly people made clear sounds as they touched the floor of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, no, absolutely not! We, as your subjects, are still alive and well. Even if we are to die, it should be us, your subjects, who die first."
In that instant, all the officials in the hall knelt down, stopping Su Yun from making a move.
Over the years, these great scholars and officials have witnessed the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty living better and better lives. Where else can you find such a dynasty? Upon hearing that Su Yun was about to fight Song Weiyi, they hurriedly volunteered to stop him.
"Your Majesty, no! Our Great Zhou Imperial Clan has countless powerful warriors. We are all still alive and well. Even if it comes to a fight to the death, we will be at the forefront. Only when we die in battle, shedding our last drop of blood, will Your Majesty intervene, and we will not stop you. But not now, otherwise I will die right here in this hall."
At that moment, an old man with white hair and beard entered the Hall of Bright Virtue, his eyes fixed on Su Yun on the throne. His voice was loud and echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Your Majesty, we request permission to go and fight."
At that moment, voices rang out outside the main hall, and all members of the royal family, led by the clan elders, arrived.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to die for you!"
"We are willing to die for you."
In an instant, countless voices rang out outside the hall. There were members of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan, experts trained by the Great Zhou over the years, and the leader of the Night Watchers. Everyone spoke up at that moment.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Upon hearing the voices of protest, Su Yun, seated on the throne, burst into laughter in the main hall, his laughter piercing the heavens.
As the laughter subsided, Su Yun abruptly stopped, then declared with unparalleled dominance, "To have come this far, to have the Great Zhou Imperial Clan, civil and military officials, and the strongest warriors of the world serve me—as emperor, I have succeeded."
"However, the Supreme One Sect has gone too far, actually sending its most talented disciples to the capital of my Great Zhou Dynasty, claiming they would kill me, install a new emperor, and turn my Great Zhou Dynasty into their Supreme One Sect, their hounds, providing them with cultivation resources. I will absolutely not agree to this."
"Over the years, besides being busy with state affairs, I have devoted all my time to cultivation. The Supreme One Sect regards me as an ant. Today, I will personally show them that I can not only rule over all people, enabling them to live prosperous lives, and ensuring that there is no more war in the world, and that the Human Race is free from foreign invasion, but I can also wield a sword and ride a horse to slay ancient geniuses. Today, I will personally take Song Weiyi's head, so that all forces in the world will know that I am an emperor, capable of nurturing all people and also capable of slaying enemies!"
At that moment, Su Yun's voice was filled with the domineering power of a king, and every word seemed to explode in the void like thunder.
At the same time, an extremely terrifying power slowly emanated from Su Yun's body. At this moment, Su Yun seemed to possess an ancient demonic dragon within him that could devour heaven and earth and destroy All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms.
That aura was not only incredibly powerful, but also absolutely domineering.
The moment Su Yun released his aura, even the peak experts of the Great Zhou couldn't help but tremble under his power. The aura Su Yun unleashed in that instant was simply too terrifying, like a celestial Heavenly God from the heavens.
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the civil and military officials who had wanted to stop him swallowed the words they were about to say.
The solemn expressions on their faces slowly disappeared, replaced by excitement. After sensing Su Yun's terrifying power, they suddenly felt that today might not be the day of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan's demise, but rather an opportunity for the Great Zhou Imperial Clan to resound throughout the heavens.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
At that moment, the eyes of all the civil and military officials and members of the royal family lit up with excitement. They knelt down before Su Yun in the main hall, and their cheers resounded through the sky.
At the same time, a folding document appeared in Su Yun's hand in that instant, and Su Yun became incredibly domineering.
"Those who secretly collude with the Supreme One Sect in our Great Zhou Dynasty will be executed without mercy."
Su Yun tossed the memorial into the hands of the old eunuch, who opened it and the names of the people in the hall began to resound.
Among the civil and military officials prostrate in the main hall, some officials suddenly changed color, their eyes filled with terror. They never expected that Su Yun would discover their collusion with the Supreme One Sect.
Seeing that their scheme had been exposed, these people could no longer hold back. They all felt enveloped by death, their bodies rising into the Space Breaking as they tried to escape.
However, Su Yun had already prepared Heavenly Net and Earthly Web air, a series of cold, sharp lights flashed, and the officials who had secretly colluded with the Supreme One Sect were instantly killed on the spot.
"They colluded with foreign invaders, attempting to overthrow the Great Zhou Imperial Clan. These traitors shall have their entire families exterminated."
Su Yun's voice was icy cold.
"We obey your command!"
When the civil and military officials saw the corpses lying in pools of blood, there was not a trace of mercy in their eyes. They never imagined that these people, who usually attended court with them and spoke of loyalty and righteousness, had actually colluded with the Supreme One Sect to try to overthrow the dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Su Jin's head has been retrieved."
At that moment, outside the main hall, a member of the royal family carried a bloody human head into the hall. This person, named Su Jin, was a member of the royal family who colluded with the Supreme One Sect and attempted to become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty after Song Weiyi killed Su Yun.
"The internal strife has now been eliminated. All civil and military officials, members of the royal family, you shall all accompany me to the outskirts of my capital. The traitor Song Weiyi of the Supreme One Sect has arrived. Today, I, the Emperor, will behead this traitor before the eyes of the entire world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the main hall and headed out of the imperial city, with civil and military officials and members of the royal family hurriedly following behind.
Soon, outside the imperial city, Su Yun stood in the void, Wuji absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, pushing his cultivation to its peak.
At this moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on Su Yun's lips. Now that he no longer concealed his cultivation level, a smile appeared on Su Yun's face.
He felt that he was now his true self; in fact, he didn't like power struggles, but preferred spiritual cultivation.
As everyone waited, Lin Lingzhou of the Supreme One Sect appeared on the horizon outside the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, accompanied by 99 young boys and girls, scattering flower petals as they approached.
"Um?"
Song Weiyi, who had been lounging inside the spirit boat, suddenly shuddered, his eyes widening in disbelief. He never expected that so many experts would gather outside the imperial city at this moment. According to his prediction, the Great Zhou Imperial Capital should be in a state of panic right now.
Moreover, those civil and military officials who secretly pledged allegiance to the Supreme One Sect should be preparing to rise up and overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty. The scene before him was beyond his expectations.
However, the shock in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by a disdainful smirk.
"No one can stop the sword in my hand. Today, I will let the world know that I, Song Weiyi, Invincible."
