"One!"
Ignoring the crowd’s reaction, whether it was fervor or panic, Nie Yun slowly rose into the air. He looked down upon the buildings of the Imperial Palace, his expression unchanging as he called out the first number.
"Lord King Yun! Lord King Yun!"
He had only called out one word when urgent shouts ca from within the palace. Imdiately after, a group of ministers erged, escorting the barely breathing His Majesty the Emperor out of the Imperial Palace.
At this mont, His Majesty the Emperor’s face was ashen and bruised, with dark circles ringing his eyes. His entire body was swollen, and he had lost all semblance of an emperor, looking for all the world like a beggar.
"Hm?"
Nie Yun hadn’t expected this situation and was montarily stunned.
’The ministers actually captured the Emperor of the Empire alive?’
"Lord King Yun, we sincerely wish to pledge our allegiance to you and support you as the new Emperor of the Empire! This man is the gift we present to you, my lord!"
The ministers ca to a stop a short distance below Nie Yun and knelt in unison.
’Pledge allegiance to ? Support as the new Emperor?’ Nie Yun saw no trace of deceit on the ministers’ faces; they were genuinely surrendering to him. He furrowed his brow.
’Even if I am powerful, it shouldn’t be enough to make these ministers bear the na of traitors and bring their own Emperor to under guard!’
"For an empire to prosper, it must first have a strong leader. Lord King Yun, you are not yet seventeen, yet you possess the power of the Ultimate Venerable Peak. In the future, it’s not impossible that you will break through to the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm! If the Divine Wind Empire had an Emperor at the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm, how difficult would it be to unify the seven kingdoms? We may look like traitors now, but once a super-empire conquers the world, we will be its founding fathers!"
Right Minister Fanx Shenjie took a step forward and announced in a clear, loud voice.
"That’s right! We are willing to assist Lord King Yun in becoming the new Emperor and unifying the world!"
The Right Minister’s words sent a surge of excitent through everyone, and they clasped their fists in agitation.
"The Right Minister is correct! For Lord Nie Yun to have such strength at his age, advancing to the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm is a sure thing! With an expert of this caliber leading the Empire, even if we don’t seek hegemony, what nation would dare to speak out of turn?"
"He dared to challenge the Divine Wind Empire all by himself. If he really becos the Emperor, the Divine Wind Empire’s fa will surely skyrocket..."
"With an Emperor like him, the Demon Race definitely wouldn’t dare to invade again..."
"Lord King Yun for Emperor!"
"For Emperor!"
Right Minister Fanx Shenjie’s voice was completely unrestrained. Aided by his strength at the Peak of Qi Sect, it spread throughout Divine Wind City. The ordinary people who had been watching the spectacle heard his words and erupted in excited cheers.
The Divine Wind Empire had long suffered from the scourge of the Demon Race. Everyone hoped for a stable protector and a peaceful ho where they could live and work in contentnt. As for who the Emperor was, it had no real bearing on the lives of ordinary people like them!
The so-called will of the people was simply peace and prosperity.
"We’ll discuss this later. You, co here!"
Cutting off the crowd’s discussion, Nie Yun extended his five fingers and, with a downward grasping motion, pulled the beaten and half-dead Emperor of the Empire into the air.
Only an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse could fly. By pulling him into the air, Nie Yun was also guarding against any tricks or sches.
Grasping the Emperor of the Empire by the neck, Nie Yun casually set up a sound-isolating barrier. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the forr struggle and cry out, "As long as you don’t kill , I’ll tell you where Yangg Yan, Feng Xiao, and your parents are being held!"
"You know where they’re being held? If you’re going to say the Assassin Union’s headquarters, then don’t bother!" Nie Yun’s eyes narrowed.
He already knew from the head of the Assassin Union that Yangg Yan and Feng Xiao were not dead; they had supposedly been sent to the union’s headquarters. If the Emperor was just going to say they were at the headquarters, it would be a waste of breath.
The Assassin Union’s headquarters was in the Divine Holy Empire, and it was teeming with experts. Even with his current great increase in strength, he wouldn’t dare to go there rashly.
"They’re not at the Assassin Union headquarters! They haven’t had ti to transport them yet..." the Emperor of the Empire said hastily.
"Oh? They haven’t been transported? Then where are they?"
"Promise you won’t kill , and I’ll tell you..." The Emperor of the Empire bargained for his last thread of life.
"Fine. I won’t kill you," Nie Yun nodded.
"You’re an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse, you can’t go back on your word! They are currently imprisoned on the back mountain of the Mi Tian Sect!" The Emperor of the Empire hesitated for a mont before saying through gritted teeth.
"The back mountain of the Mi Tian Sect?" Nie Yun raised an eyebrow.
"Yes! The Mi Tian Sect Master told himself..." Before the Emperor of the Empire could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body. Looking down, he saw that his torso had been sliced in two by a flash of light.
"You said... you wouldn’t kill ..."
He never would have imagined that even after telling the truth, he would still be killed.
"I promised not to kill you, but my Demon Pet made no such promise," Nie Yun said flatly, casually tossing the dead Emperor of the Empire to the ground.
The one who had just struck was the Wind Wolf King with its sharp claws. Although the Emperor of the Empire’s strength was nothing special, he was still a ruthless figure in his own right. One must cut the weeds and pull up the roots; Nie Yun would never leave behind any hidden dangers for himself!
"We are willing to assist His Majesty Nie Yun in ascending the throne!"
Seeing the White-Haired Wolf King beside the youth casually swipe its claw and slice the Peak Qi Sect Emperor into two, the ministers were all so terrified they didn’t dare to breathe. It was only after a long mont that they managed to cry out.
"Ascend the throne? Wait until I get back."
Nie Yun waved his hand dismissively.
Whether he beca Emperor or not ant little to him. A true powerhouse was ant to pursue the Celestial Dao. The more one was entangled in worldly power, the more karma one accumulated, and the harder it beca to achieve true greatness.
However, there was no reason to refuse now. He had annihilated the Imperial Family of the great Divine Wind Empire. If he didn’t beco the Emperor, the Empire would surely fall into great turmoil, and he would be a sinner for it.
Besides, after becoming the Emperor, the connections and power he could mobilize would increase, which would give him a much better chance of finding his parents and the others.
"Your Majesty, how should the Fengg Race be dealt with?"
Minister Mong Qimo called out.
The Fengg Race consisted of more than just one Emperor and one Fengg Yu; on the contrary, it was a very large family. Now that their ancestor and the Emperor had been killed, the fate of the remaining mbers had to be considered.
"Leave no one alive."
With those faint words, Nie Yun turned and flew straight toward the Mi Tian Sect with the Wind Wolf King and the other two Demon Beasts.
’Leave no one alive?’
Hearing this command, the ministers were once again startled.
’So ruthless!’
But this was also the best decision. The Fengg Family had operated in the Divine Wind Empire for many years. If he showed rcy now, who knew how much trouble they would cause later? It was better to kill them all.
To achieve great things, one couldn’t be concerned with trivialities. Soft-heartedness would sooner or later bring disaster.
"Follow His Majesty’s command! Leave no one from the Fengg Family alive! Let’s move!"
Watching Nie Yun fly off into the distance, the ministers slowly rose to their feet. They looked toward the Imperial Palace and began the most frenzied massacre in the history of the Divine Wind Empire.
Later historical records would read: In the first year of the reign of Emperor Yun Huang, His Majesty, in a great rage, single-handedly destroyed the Assassin Union, slew the Mi Tian Sect Master and three other Ultimate Venerable Peak Powerhouses, and purged the remnants of the Fengg Family. Rivers of blood flowed, and tens of thousands of heads fell in a single night. From that day on, there were no more Fengg loyalists, and peace fell upon the land. The Fengg Family, which had ruled the Divine Wind Empire for 1,738 years, was utterly annihilated... (To be continued.
