“Relay my decree.”
“Effective immediately.”
“Sword Saint Gai Nie is appointed as the Vice-Leader of the Sword Pavilion, temporarily assuming all matters of the Sword Pavilion.”
“He shall hold a rank equivalent to the First Grade, and receive the salary of the First Grade.”
In the court, while countless civil and military officials were filled with worry over the impending war that might come in ten days, a war that could shake the very heavens.
Unexpectedly.
Qin Zheng, with a twist of his words, conferred upon Gai Nie.
“Your servant.”
“This servant accepts the decree and expresses gratitude.”
Before the many civil and military officials could even react.
They saw the white-clothed swordsman, standing to the left and below Qin Zheng, already appearing before the throne.
He respectfully accepted the decree and expressed gratitude.
“Hiss...”
“This one is actually appointed as the Vice-Leader of the Sword Pavilion, assuming all matters of the Sword Pavilion?”
“Could he be a giant in the path of the sword?”
Seeing this scene, the many civil and military officials were all shaken, their hearts filled with disbelief.
After all, Gai Nie’s aura was restrained.
His sword dao intent was completely concealed, and these civil and military officials were completely unable to see through his true abilities.
They could only guess from the three-foot long green blade in his hand.
That this person was a sword cultivator.
But they never imagined that this person would actually be qualified to be appointed by His Majesty as the Vice-Leader of the Sword Pavilion.
However, among the many civil and military officials.
The most shocked.
Was Grand Marshal Fu Ling.
“Vice-Leader?”
“This...”
“A Dao Emperor who has attained the Dao through the sword path, the ultimate embodiment of killing, is only the Vice-Leader?”
“Could there be another who has yet to emerge?”
While shocked, Fu Ling immediately thought of this, and he was not at ease.
A being even stronger than a Dao Emperor who has attained the Dao through the sword path.
At the very least.
He would be a Dao Venerable.
Such a powerful being, even within that Empire with its unfathomable foundation.
They would all be in high positions, with distinguished status.
At the same time.
The many civil and military officials in the court, at this moment, looked at Gai Nie with a glimmer of fervor.
______
Meanwhile.
Three days later.
A piece of news, like a bolt of lightning out of the blue, spread through the entire Xuan Domain in the blink of an eye.
“Everyone.”
“Did you hear?”
“The Great Qin Empire, a few days ago, actually refused to submit to the four transcendent forces, planning to fight them head-on, to settle all the karmic debts.”
“Hiss...”
“Is the Great Qin Empire crazy?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Daoist friend, who in the Xuan Domain doesn’t know that the foundation of the Great Qin Empire, even if it hasn’t recovered to its heyday, has recovered to about seven or eight out of ten, naturally they won’t look at those three Empires and the Great Void Holy Land in their eyes.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true, it’s said that the current Great Qin Emperor, compared to the past Great Qin Emperors, is even more domineering, a true, powerful emperor, naturally he will not compromise.”
For a time, countless living beings in the Xuan Domain.
Were all discussing this matter, their words full of disdain for the four transcendent forces.
At the same time.
The Thousand Feather Empire.
Tian Xuan City, Imperial Palace.
In the court.
The Thousand Feather Emperor, at this moment, had a cold look in his eyes, his face gloomy to the point where it seemed water could drip from it.
The Great Qin Empire’s refusal.
Made the Thousand Feather Empire, as well as the other three transcendent forces, lose face in the Xuan Domain.
They became the laughingstock of billions of living beings.
How could he not be angry.
“Humph!”
Under the Thousand Feather Emperor’s gloomy expression.
On the side of the generals, a great general coldly snorted and stepped forward, looking coldly at Yao Ru, his words filled with sarcasm: “Lord Chancellor, is this the best strategy you spoke of?”
With these words.
The many civil and military officials in the court all looked at Yao Ru with a hint of ill will.
“Sigh!”
Seeing this scene.
Yao Ru’s face darkened, he shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply.
The current situation.
He also did not expect this.
After all.
Logically speaking, even if the Great Qin Empire has recovered to about seven or eight out of ten of its foundation.
They wouldn’t be so quick to break with them.
“Could it be.”
“The Great Qin Empire truly has enough confidence to fight head-on, to defeat us all?”
Yao Ru thought, his face slightly changed.
If not.
The Great Qin Empire wouldn’t have acted in such a manner, completely breaking with them.
“Humph!”
As Yao Ru pondered.
How the Great Qin Empire had thought of this.
Another cold snort rang out in the court, and the great general who had spoken before.
First he coldly glanced at Yao Ru, then he strode into the hall.
“Your Majesty.”
“Your servant has something to report.”
The Thousand Feather Emperor heard this, looked at him coldly, and said in a cold voice: “Speak.”
This general, upon hearing this.
Shrank his neck.
But he still stiffened his neck and said: “Your servant wants to impeach the Chancellor, the Chancellor......”
However.
Before he could finish.
He saw that the Thousand Feather Emperor’s gaze became even colder, using a look as if he were looking at a dead man, looking at him directly, causing him to break out in a cold sweat, his heart filled with trepidation.
The words in his mouth, involuntarily came to a halt.
“Get out!”
The Thousand Feather Emperor, amidst the general’s fear, his tone was even colder, startling him to quickly retreat.
The others in the court didn’t know.
But he knew.
This plan, it wasn’t something that Yao Ru alone could devise and make a decision about.
It was the ancestors of the three Empires.
Together with the Supreme Elder of the Great Void Holy Land, they had discussed it before deciding to use this to appease the Great Qin’s anger.
To seek temporary peace.
After all.
That flying chariot that was comparable to a semi-divine artifact, as well as that peerless Quasi-Emperor and those Golden Fire Cavalrymen.
Truly made them extremely apprehensive.
Once a war broke out.
Unless they could control that flying chariot in the first moment, or destroy it.
Otherwise, that flying chariot.
Would become their nightmare.
But obviously, no one could do this.
“This matter.”
“I will discuss it with the Ancestor.”
The Thousand Feather Emperor coldly glanced at the many civil and military officials, his voice cold: “Put away your petty thoughts, otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy.”
The words fell.
As the many civil and military officials’ faces turned slightly white, the Thousand Feather Emperor coldly snorted and directly turned his sleeve and left.
______
At the same time.
The Hundred Battles Empire.
Wu Di City.
In the court, the Hundred Battles Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, his aura like the blazing sun, terrifyingly powerful.
The civil and military officials in the court.
All frowned, anger rising in their eyes.
“Great Qin.”
“Truly too arrogant.”
“Humph!”
“Submitting to them was merely a temporary measure, does he, the Great Qin, really think we are afraid of him?”
“If he wants to fight, then fight!”
“Our Hundred Battles Empire has never been afraid of anyone.”
In the Hundred Battles Empire’s court, whether it was civil officials or military generals, they were all filled with murderous intent.
One after another, generals with fierce auras.
They all glared, wishing they could immediately lead their armies and charge towards the Great Qin.
“This war.”
“Still cannot be avoided.”
Hearing the angry voices of the civil and military officials in the court, the Hundred Battles Emperor furrowed his brows, his expression filled with apprehension.
If he was willing to fight.
He wouldn’t have made this decision to lose face before, but who would have thought that even so.
The Great Qin Empire was still incredibly powerful, directly tearing their faces off.
“So be it.”
Although the Hundred Battles Emperor was quite apprehensive about the Great Qin, he did not hesitate too much.
His voice slightly lowered, he said: “Let’s go to war.”
He said.
Amidst the raging battle intent of the many civil and military officials, the Hundred Battles Emperor slowly stood up.
Boom!
On his body, an extremely terrifying aura erupted, instantly engulfing the entire hall.
Then it soared into the sky, pressing down on the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles.
“Relay my decree.”
“Deploy troops......”
