Zither Emperor Chapter 471 Chapter 146 Cannon of Annihilation Part 2_1

471: Chapter 146: Cannon of Annihilation (Part 2)_1 471: Chapter 146: Cannon of Annihilation (Part 2)_1 “Chief Ye, there’s no need for further words.

Since they are your friends, and it’s inconvenient for you to convey the Empire’s orders to them, we might as well take care of it.

As for these people of a different race, we just need to crush their spirits and then offer them some enticements.

I’m not afraid they won’t serve our Eastern Dragon.” A cold voice emanated from the Chrysanthemum Clan Master Wei Lingfeng.

He appeared to be much more posed than his brother, his words carrying a sharper edge.

Ye Yinzhu laughed, looking at Wei Lingfeng, and spoke lightly, “So, what you’re saying, Sect Master Wei, is that you intend to subjugate Qin City by force?”

Wei Lingfeng responded indifferently, “Before Chief Ye arrived, we had already reached a consensus that Qin City, as the foundation upon which our Empire was established, must be stabilized.

If these people from a different race live in the Burna Mountain Range, they pose a constant thorn in our side.

We must subjugate or destroy them.

There is no second option.

If Chief Ye truly regards them as friends, then you must think carefully on their behalf.

Do not lead others and yourself astray.”

“Hahahaha!” Ye Yinzhu laughed bitterly in anger, “What a way to lead others and oneself astray.

Since that’s the case, I have nothing more to say.

If all of you are indeed determined to resort to force against the original inhabitants of Qin City, please consider carefully whether the Empire’s power is sufficient before doing so.

Also, I’d like to ask Sect Master Wei something, before you came to Qin City, did you and Mei Clan Master go near Faran, and did you kidnap a girl?”

A flash of surprise appeared in Wei Lingfeng’s eyes, “Chief Ye is really well-informed.

How did you e to know of this?”

Ye Yinzhu inwardly confirmed his suspicions.

After returning to Qin City and meeting everyone from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, he asked his two grandfathers about Haiyang’s whereabouts, but they were pletely unaware.

Considering that some members from the Mei Clan and the Chrysanthemum Clan had not acpanied the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans here, coupled with what his grandmother Lan Ruxue said about the fifteen days, Ye Yinzhu immediately deduced that the group of more than a thousand people who had suddenly appeared and kidnapped Haiyang were likely the experts brought by the two clan masters from the Mei Clan and the Chrysanthemum Clan.

Suppressing his rage, Ye Yinzhu stared at Wei Lingfeng, “Where is Haiyang?”

Before Wei Lingfeng could speak, Elder Wei Ming, seated at the head, already shouted angrily, “How audacious, to address Her Majesty the Empress by her name directly.”

The Empress?

Ye Yinzhu was stunned, when had Haiyang bee the Empress.

Could she be the Empress of the Eastern Dragon Empire?

In an instant, he was lost in confusion, with Marshall Xi Duofu’s words about protecting Haiyang’s safety echoing in his head.

Indeed!

Haiyang bore no resemblance to Xi Duofu, could it be that she is not the biological granddaughter of Marshal Xi Duofu?

Lan Ruxue, who was beside Elder Wei Ming, couldn’t help asking, “Yin Zhu, do you know Her Majesty the Empress?

The founding ceremony we are about to hold is also the coronation of Her Majesty the Empress.”

Ye Yinzhu was dumbfounded as he looked at his grandmother, “More than just knowing her, the chiefs of the Mei Clan and the Chrysanthemum Clan kidnapped Haiyang from me.

And a woman took a sword of Artifact rank from me.”

Lan Ruxue was also taken aback and turned her gaze to Chrysanthemum Clan Master Wei Lingfeng, “Ling Feng, is this true?”

Wei Lingfeng heard Lan Ruxue’s question and answered in a pletely different tone, responding gently, “I am not very clear about this matter.

At the time, it was the granddaughter of Mei Clan Master who brought back the Empress.

Clan Master Mei, what do you say…”

Mei Rujian was taken aback, glancing at Ye Yinzhu.

Not only was he the Mei Clan Master, but he was also the biological father of Ye Yinzhu’s mother Mei Ying, which made him Ye Yinzhu’s maternal grandfather!

He was still reeling from the surprise of seeing his own grandson holding the position of two clan masters simultaneously.

He nodded and said, “It does seem that Yingxue got her hands on a fine sword and treasures it highly.

Perhaps I should call her here to ask.”

Lan Ruxue slowly nodded, “Call her here.

This is truly a case of a flood washing over the Dragon King Temple.

Yin Zhu, what exactly is your relationship with Her Majesty the Empress?”

Ye Yinzhu lamented, “Grandmother, shouldn’t you first tell me why Haiyang is the granddaughter of Marshal Xi Duofu yet became the Empress of our Eastern Dragon Empire?

Marshal Xi Duofu is the Plum Blossom Elder hidden among the Seven Kingdoms for the Eight Sects.

Could it be that Haiyang is not his granddaughter?”

Lan Ruxue slowly nodded her head, “As the master of two sects, it shouldn’t harm to tell you this.

Her Majesty the Empress is the only descendant of the royal bloodline in the Eastern Dragon Empire.

During an inexplicable sneak attack by an unknown enemy, she was gravely injured.

To ensure Her Majesty’s safety, we three Supreme Elders decided to have Elder Mei adopt her and raise her as his own granddaughter.

The Milan Empire is the most powerful nation on the continent, and Elder Mei is also the Marshal of the Milan Empire, making him the best choice to conceal the Empress’s identity.

About this matter, not even the masters of the Eight Sects are privy to it; it’s our Eastern Dragon’s utmost secret.

Not long ago, we received a report from Elder Mei stating that Her Majesty had taken a risk and participated in the ranking battles of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons held in Faran, representing the Milan Empire.

It was then that we dispatched the masters of both the Mei Clan and the Chrysanthemum Clan to undertake a rescue.

Are you well-acquainted with Her Majesty?”

Familiar, it’s more than just being familiar!

Ye Yinzhu sat there dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined that Haiyang was the Empress of the Eastern Dragon Empire.

Originally, he was part of the Eastern Dragon Empire, and now knowing the Empress was Haiyang, his heart instantly became chaotic.

“Does this mean that from now on, the Eastern Dragon Empire will be under the rule of Empress Haiyang?” Ye Yinzhu did not directly answer his grandmother’s last question but instead countered with one of his own.

Supreme Elder Wei Ming said, “Of course.

However, before that, Her Majesty still has a lot to learn.

Each one of us seated here must wholeheartedly assist the Empress.

Chief Ye, are you really unwilling to have those of a different race submit to the Empire?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head, saying, “It’s not that I am unwilling; I simply don’t have such authority.

If you insist on having your way, I apologize, but as the master of two sects, I cannot side with the Empire.

However, one thing I’m certain of is that should a war break out within Qin City, then the Eastern Dragon’s years of effort will be wasted, and the consequences will be something the Empire cannot bear.”

Wei Lingfeng let out a cold laugh, “Indeed, you are Ye Li’s grandson, just as stubborn as he was.

Don’t overestimate those of different races.

The Empire’s elite can hardly be pared to those riffraff.”

Ye Yinzhu also issued a cold laugh, “You also live up to being Wei Tingfeng’s brother, just as arrogant.

In that case, why don’t we make a bet?

I’ll choose one person from the Qin City Warriors; if Elder Wei can defeat him, I am willing to persuade the four clans of Qin City to submit to the Empire.

Otherwise, I ask the Empire to leave us, the original inhabitants of Qin City, in peace.”

“This…” Wei Lingfeng was not a rash man.

Seeing the confidence in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, he did not impulsively accept the challenge but instead shifted the responsibility to others, “This is a major matter for the Empire and not something I alone can decide.

Let the three Supreme Elders make the decision.”

Supreme Elder Wei Ming nodded and spoke, “Since the races of Qin City are unwilling to submit, then let’s handle it this way.

A civil war would bring about great losses for both sides, something neither the Empire nor the races of Qin City desire to see.

I believe Chief Ye feels the same.

On this continent, everything is decided by strength.

Let us hold a martial contest.

Each side will select ten people to pete in ten bouts.

If the Qin City races win, we will no longer interfere with their actions from now on, and they will merely be our allies; on the other hand, if they lose, the races within Qin City must obey the Empire’s unified mand and bee subjects of the Empire.”

On hearing Supreme Elder Wei Ming’s words, Ye Yinzhu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, the Empire did not wish for internal conflict.

The real bat power of the entire Empire numbered just over ten thousand, with each loss reducing their numbers.

The method of contest seemed fair.

With this in mind, Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Alright then, I’ll represent the four clans of Qin City and agree to this proposal.

There is no better day than today.

The petition will be until one party concedes.

If the four clans of Qin City lose, I will do my best to persuade them.

However, one thing I must clarify: as their partner and the original lord of Qin City, I can only stand by my panions in this matter.”

Supreme Elder Wei Ming spoke with a tinge of anger, “Are you implying that you’ll stand on the opposing side and go against the Empire?”

Ye Yinzhu replied indifferently, “You’re forcing this matter.

However, I won’t take action myself.

One side is my clan, and the other side are my friends.

I don’t wish any harm to e to any of you.

But I will be the referee on the field.

When the battle decides the victor, I will minimize the damage to both sides as much as possible.”

Hearing Ye Yinzhu say this, Elder Wei Ming’s expression softened somewhat.

However, Chrysanthemum Clan Master Wei Lingfeng said, “That’s unacceptable.

Those different races are all your friends; who knows whether you can be fair?”

A cold light flashed in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “If I can’t even be fair, then I don’t deserve to be the master of two sects.

Since Elder Wei doesn’t trust me, then let’s do it this way: how about Supreme Elder Wei Ming and I serve as the referees together?”

“This…” Wei Ming hesitated.

In the Eastern Dragon Empire, he was the Chief Supreme Elder, and currently the strongest in the Empire.

If he took part in this contest, it would no doubt secure them a victory.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Ming responded, “Wei Lingfeng, quit your nonsense.

Yinzhu is not just the master of two sects but is also Elder Lan’s grandson and Mei Clan Master’s grandson-in-law.

His fairness is clear to all, and naturally, we trust him.”
