In the imperial court.
Under the gaze of the entire court of the Great Qin, a group of more than ten people entered the hall.
“We.”
After entering the hall, they dared not look around, all keeping their eyes on their noses and noses on their hearts as they walked forward.
They bowed slightly and clasped their hands, saying: “Greetings, Your Majesty, the Qin Emperor.”
They were not subjects of the Great Qin Empire, so they did not intend to kneel down.
Even today.
They had come to pledge their allegiance.
But anyone with discerning eyes could see that their pledge of allegiance was merely a pretense.
It was also a way to give themselves a face-saving step.
To quell the karmic debt of the Battle of Heaven's Gate, they were unwilling to lower their own status and kneel in the hall.
“Audacious!”
But as the group awaited Qin Zheng's response.
A thunderous shout erupted from the imperial court, like a bolt of lightning, exploding in their ears: “Seeing the Emperor, why don’t you kneel?!”
Simultaneously.
An extremely domineering aura enveloped them at that moment.
That ferocious aura.
Instantly caused them to break into cold sweats, their faces turning pale. Just as they were about to speak.
They heard another voice.
“Your Majesty.”
“This minister sees that they are not here today to pledge allegiance, but rather to show off to our court.”
“This minister dares to advise.”
“Beat these people out with sticks, to demonstrate Your Majesty's might.”
As this voice rang out, the group in the hall all felt a jolt to their hearts, and they no longer cared about propriety.
They quickly raised their heads and were about to explain.
However.
Before they could speak, Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and walked out with a cold smile: “Your Majesty, this minister thinks that the Left Chancellor is right. Since they came to pledge allegiance but did not kneel, it is clear that their hearts are not truly devoted.”
Once Xun Yu finished speaking.
Xu Shu stepped forward.
“Your Majesty.”
“This minister also thinks that the Left Chancellor is right.”
As he spoke, Xu Shu’s gaze turned toward the man in the python robe in the group.
His eyes flickered coldly.
He sneered and said: “This one, you must be the Third Prince of the Hundred Battles Empire, right?”
Upon hearing this.
The Third Prince’s body trembled, his previous arrogance vanished without a trace, his face visibly turning white.
“Before the hall.”
“This Third Prince was quite arrogant, treating the Great Qin like weeds and disrespecting the Emperor.”
“This behavior.”
“How could it be considered pledging allegiance?”
After Xu Shu finished speaking, in the midst of the horrified expressions of the group in the hall.
He strode forward.
He loudly advised the group in the hall: “Your Majesty, since they are not truly submitting, then the karmic debt of the Battle of Heaven’s Gate should be settled one by one.”
“Simply.”
“It is just another battle. What is there to fear for our court?”
Xu Shu said this, his eyes turning cold again.
He looked at the group with an icy sneer and coldly said: “As for these people......”
“Though they have been disrespectful to the Emperor, they should be punished by death. But as the saying goes, warring armies do not behead envoys, this minister dares to advise, they can be spared from death but not punishment.”
“Perhaps we can cripple their cultivation and beat them out of Xianyang.”
“This way.”
“It can also demonstrate Your Majesty's magnanimity.”
With Xu Shu's words falling, the faces of the group in the hall instantly changed.
Because at that moment.
They were locked down by several terrifying auras, pinning them to the spot.
If the Qin Emperor nodded.
They had no doubt that the few who had locked them down with their aura would directly attack.
Cripple their cultivation.
And then beat them out of Xianyang, and then officially launch a war against the four transcendent forces of the Xuan Domain.
“Your Majesty.”
It was at this time, from the side of the generals.
Gao Shun strode forward.
He respectfully requested battle in the hall: “This subordinate requests to go to battle.”
“This subordinate requests to go to battle.”
After Gao Shun stepped forward and requested battle, Meng Tian and the other generals also stepped forward one after another and requested battle.
Boom!
For a moment, numerous ferocious auras of slaughter spread from the imperial court.
“It’s over...”
Seeing this, the Third Prince.
Was already ashen-faced, his heart filled with boundless fear and regret.
He did not expect.
That simply by uttering a few words, he would provoke such a strong reaction from the Great Qin court.
‘Thump!’
Thinking that because of his three sentences.
His father and the other three transcendent forces had their plans directly shattered.
His body went limp.
With a thump, he kneeled in the hall.
The others.
Didn't know that the Third Prince had gone weak in the legs from fright, they thought that though he was a bit foolish.
He could bend and stretch. They gritted their teeth and kneeled down as well.
They had to kneel.
They had merely failed to kneel, and the Great Qin Empire's civil and military officials wanted to beat them, kill them.
They were about to go to war.
If they didn't kneel now, they would be done for.
“Your subjects...”
“Greetings, Your Majesty, the Qin Emperor.”
“Your subjects are foolish, ignorant of etiquette, we beg Your Majesty’s forgiveness for our offense.”
As the group knelt in the hall and begged Qin Zheng for forgiveness.
The aura from Meng Tian and the others also dissipated, causing the group to relax.
“Rise.”
Qin Zheng only now.
Spoke in a flat tone, casually waving his hand, allowing the group in the hall to rise.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Hearing Qin Zheng speak.
The group finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly rising to their feet, their hearts still in their throats.
However, when the group saw that the Third Prince of the Hundred Battles Empire.
Was still kneeling in the hall, looking dazed, their faces froze.
They realized they were wrong.
This fellow was not able to bend and stretch, but rather had been scared stupid.
It could be said that.
The combo they had just received had left their heads spinning, and they hadn’t quite recovered yet.
“Waste.”
Muttering a curse under his breath at the Third Prince.
Liu Su didn't bother to pay any attention to this waste, he took a deep breath and immediately said seriously: “Your Majesty, the Qin Emperor, today we are sincerely representing the forces behind us to pledge allegiance to the Great Qin Empire, with Your Majesty as our sovereign, we dare not have any other thoughts.”
“We hope that Your Majesty can see this clearly.”
The Third Elder of the Grand Void Holy Land, upon hearing this.
Immediately respectfully said: “For this, our Grand Void Holy Land’s Holy Master has personally prepared a grand gift to present to Your Majesty, we hope that Your Majesty will accept it.”
As he spoke.
The Third Elder waved his hand.
Instantly, an Emperor Herb, ten Saint Herbs, two Saint Weapons, a hundred Saint-grade Pills, and various other resources materialized in the hall, glittering and eye-catching, a dazzling array.
“Besides this.”
“There are also some Spirit Stones in this Instantaneous Ring.”
The Third Elder said, then presented the Instantaneous Ring in both hands, showing the utmost humility.
The others saw this.
Naturally, they would not be left out, they all waved their hands, and countless resources piled up in the imperial court.
They respectfully said: “We beg Your Majesty, the Qin Emperor, to accept.”
Many resources.
A total of four Emperor Herbs, forty Saint Herbs, four hundred Saint-grade Pills, and other resources.
Even the Spirit Stones.
The three empires and the Grand Void Holy Land presented the same number, not even one less.
