Along the Heavenly Emperor Peak Heavenly Emperor Peak, the sounds of ceremonial music filled the air, leading all the way to the summit.
Long live the Emperor!
When Lin Yi's imperial carriage arrived at Heavenly Emperor Peak, a large number of people immediately knelt down to welcome the emperor's arrival.
This scene stirred a slight emotion within Lin Yi. This was truly a place where one could survey all the mountains from a high vantage point; this was the emperor's supreme throne.
His gaze fell upon the massive altar to one side, and the smooth stone wall, marked by the passage of time.
The massive stone wall, covered in moss, could not conceal the sacredness of Heavenly Emperor Peak, giving people a sense of the majesty of nature.
Lin Yi glanced at Zhang Jiao and inquired about the auspicious time.
"There's still a quarter of an hour left!" Zhang Jiao nodded and whispered.
Lin Yi nodded slightly. "Then let's wait a little longer."
"Your Majesty, why haven't we started the Heaven-worshiping ceremony yet? Could it be that the offerings haven't been prepared? I heard you're going to destroy the Jackal Kingdom as a sacrifice for the ceremony. This is no small matter. Are we going to have to wait ten days or half a month?"
The envoy from the Frostwest Empire Abucha, stepped forward with a smile, showing no anger whatsoever, as if he were discussing a very ordinary matter.
But those in the know understood that it was absolutely a gloating smile.
Jiumosong, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, this offering is a bit tricky. His Majesty is still a little impatient!"
hey-hey!
The envoys from other countries around them couldn't help but laugh. This was a rare opportunity for the Great Liang to make a fool of themselves.
Great Liang has been dominating international news lately, stealing the spotlight, but now it's finally become a laughing stock.
Seeing the smiles on their faces, a hint of amusement flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. He then chuckled and said, "How did the two ambassadors know that I hadn't prepared any offerings?"
"What's the meaning?"
Seeing that Lin Yi was not flustered at all, but rather seemed confident, everyone's expression changed slightly. What was going on? Something was not right.
Could it be that the Great Liang really destroyed the Jackal Kingdom?
"Hmph, words are no proof. I don't believe that the Great Liang destroyed the Jackal Kingdom so quickly!" Jiumosong, standing beside Nan Yi, sneered, his face full of disdain.
They had dealt with the Jackal Kingdom many times; they were no pushovers and were definitely a formidable opponent.
No matter how powerful the Great Liang is, it's wishful thinking to think they can wipe them out in two days.
Upon hearing their words, the faces of some of the ordinary people and representatives from various regions who had come to witness the ceremony immediately turned ugly. These guys had actually dared to publicly humiliate Great Liang.
This is simply unacceptable!
If this really goes wrong, Great Liang will become a laughing stock.
Several representatives couldn't help but want to stand up and argue, but when they saw Wang Ziwen, the Ministry of Rites of Rites, step forward, their eyes lit up.
Besides being the Ministry of Rites, Wang Ziwen held the prestigious position of Grand Tutor and was a trusted confidant of the Emperor.
There's a chance!
Hahaha!
Wang Ziwen laughed heartily, exuding unparalleled confidence. He glanced casually at Nan Yi and Jiumosong, and sneered, "You can't do it because you're incompetent. How much time can a Jackal Kingdom waste on us?"
"What? You wiped out the Jackal Kingdom?" Nan Yi's face stiffened, and he asked in horror.
How is this possible? How could you have destroyed the Jackal Kingdom so quickly? Did you use some kind of cheat code?
Slap! Slap!
Wang Ziwen clapped his hands, and a group of soldiers appeared from the crowd, escorting several people over.
Upon seeing the leader, Jiumosong and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaim, "How is this possible? It's actually Chanyu Hulan!"
Damn it, this is the King of the Jackal Kingdom! He's actually been captured and brought to the Great Liang! Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Was the Jackal Kingdom really wiped out?
He swallowed hard, glanced at the envoy from the Frostwest Kingdom beside him, and his eyes became dry. This was damn bad trouble.
The Jackal Kingdom was wiped out before it could even begin to act arrogantly, leaving the Zhennan Dynasty to face Lin Yi's Great Liang alone in the blink of an eye. This is not a good thing.
Nan Yi's heart was pounding; he felt like he'd gotten himself into serious trouble this time.
The other envoys trembled with fear. The Great Liang Jackal Kingdom had been destroyed in just two days, and its king had been captured. They would probably be able to destroy them in less than two days.
This is fucking outrageous!
"Holy crap, I'm speechless, I'm going to kneel down before the Emperor!"
"They said they destroyed the Jackal Kingdom in two days, but considering the delays on the way, it probably only took one day, right?"
"Hahaha, if they dare to bully the people of my Great Liang again, this Jackal Kingdom will be their fate."
Long live the Emperor! May you enjoy eternal bliss!
The people of Great Liang were instantly in an uproar. Great Liang had really done it; they had destroyed the Jackal Kingdom in just two days. That was how domineering and unparalleled they were.
Many people even knelt down and kowtowed, in their eyes their emperor was no longer an ordinary emperor, but practically a god.
Conversely, the delegation looked ashen-faced, each one as uncomfortable as if they had eaten excrement, even harboring a hint of fear and regret—they wished they hadn't offended Great Liang.
Ha ha!
Seeing the fear in their eyes, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with disdain. A bunch of opportunists, it'll be your turn sooner or later.
He looked at the King of the Jackal Kingdom and said in a deep voice, "Now that the sacrifices are ready, let us use the blood of our enemies to announce the arrival of our Great Liang!"
"Slow!"
Upon hearing this, Chanyu Hulan wet himself in fear. He immediately knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth, saying, "Your Majesty, the Great Emperor, my Jackal Kingdom is willing to submit to the Great Liang and Great Liang its vassal state. We beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"
The central idea is simply to live!
"You tiny, insignificant place dare to provoke my Great Liang? This is a capital offense, and you have no way out!" Lin Yi glanced at him and said calmly.
Ahhh!
Chanyu Hulan went mad. He wailed, "Your Majesty, you can't possibly exterminate the entire people of my Jackal Kingdom just because one of our men harassed a woman! That would be far too cruel!"
The Jackal Kingdom was destroyed because of harassing women. If word got out, I'd be too ashamed to face my ancestors even after I'm dead.
"Hmph, you still don't understand. You've offended Great Liang, which is a crime, regardless of whether you're a man or a woman!" Lin Yi glanced at him, then looked at Xu Chu to the side. The envoy had arrived.
Xu Chu slowly walked over, picked him up, and headed towards the altar.
"Long live the Emperor!!!"
Upon hearing such a powerful declaration, the people below cheered. With such a domineering emperor in charge, who would dare to bully us?
"Emperor of Great Liang, spare my life! I'm willing to be your dog and help you attack the Zhennan Dynasty!"
"I'm still useful!"
But Chanyu Hulan was not calm at all and immediately began to wail.
Click!
Xu Chu snapped his neck in one swift motion and sneered, "What use are you, a mere deposed ruler? Now you can serve as a sacrifice!"
