61: Chapter 60 If One Day You Take Power

As Ye Xiu arrived atop the city wall.

An invisible force instantly enveloped this space.

Within this space.

Everything had been pressed with a pause button.

"This young woman greets General Ye."

Ji Xingyue flew slowly to Ye Xiu's side; she was still wearing that pale purple court dress, and as she spoke, she bowed slightly, her miraculous double-pupils devoid of any Battle Intent.

What is this person playing at?

He had just beheaded the Ji Family Clan Chief.

Ye Xiu's brows furrowed deeply: "Young Miss Xingyue, what is the meaning of this?"

"General Ye, do not misunderstand. Since the older generation made their choice, they must bear the corresponding consequences. This young woman has no intention of going to war with the military."

"Then why did you bring people here?"

"To make a deal."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Xiu's brows furrowed even deeper.

The young girl before him, who looked like an immortal, gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.

Ji Xingyue smiled faintly: "This young woman is untalented, but I can suppress the three major families for the military. However, I have a small request that I hope the military can agree to."

Suppress the three major families?

Ye Xiu looked deeply at Ji Xingyue.

No wonder today's encirclement and killing went so smoothly; it turned out that the families were not a monolith.

Borrowing a knife to kill!

This incredibly mysterious double-pupiled woman.

She must have known about today's encirclement plan long ago, yet she still stood by and watched coldly.

Clearly, she hoped that the older generation of power-holders of the three major families would all perish here.

This woman is very calculating!

After a moment of silence.

Ye Xiu finally replied: "Young Miss Xingyue, if you have a request, speak. If it is reasonable, I believe Speaker Sikong will not refuse."

"A seat on the cabinet."

"A cabinet seat? Young Miss Xingyue, this request of yours is perhaps a bit excessive."

Ye Xiu refused directly.

The nine cabinet members were the highest power-holders of the nine cities.

This request was almost asking for the control of an entire city.

Ji Xingyue was refused on the spot.

Yet she showed no signs of Life Qi: "The Daoist Foundation in Yunzhong has been almost wiped out; it is very difficult to rebuild the Nine Heavens Taoist Sect."

"What do you mean?"

"The families and the Daoists need a place to reside."

Ye Xiu was stunned.

He fell silent again.

If the power of the families and the Daoists were all gathered in one city, it would indeed be a good thing for the Great Xia as a whole.

After all.

Both sides had completely torn through the veil of civility.

If the subsequent events were not handled well, an internal war might erupt.

Could the military win?

They could not.

He could at most kill this double-pupiled woman.

But with the strength of the families and the Daoists, even if the military used nuclear weapons and implemented a scorched-earth plan, they likely could not solve it.

After considering for a long time.

Ye Xiu finally spoke: "I will discuss this request with Speaker Sikong. If Young Miss Xingyue has nothing else, please return."

"Then I will trouble General Ye. This young woman will take her leave."

Ji Xingyue revealed a graceful smile.

As a breeze blew, the paused space returned to normal.

Subsequently.

Ji Xingyue returned to the space above the city wall.

With a slight wave of her hand, a hundred-meter-wide spatial gate instantly opened.

"Return."

With an order given.

Dozens of Family Prodigies followed Ji Xingyue and disappeared into the spatial gate.

Such a divine miracle.

Made the batch of [Mingdao Realm] soldiers guarding the wall sink in their hearts.

However, with the arrival of Ye Xiu.

They immediately felt a hint of excitement.

Such terrifying Family Prodigies were also deterred by the military's Peak combat power.

This is the deterrent power of the Great Xia Martial God!

Ye Xiu did not explain anything.

Just as he was about to fly away, he heard the voice of a little brat coming from the city wall.

"Hey, Brother Ye, Xiong Dad is here."

A youth dressed in military uniform soared into the air from the city wall.

Xiong Hanhan!

Ye Xiu was slightly stunned: "You brat, how did you come to Yanjing?"

"It's that old immortal; he wants to do some combat power centralization. Most of the [Mingdao Realm] Martial Practitioners in the nine cities have been summoned to Yanjing."

Xiong Hanhan was a bit depressed.

Apparently, he couldn't stand the strict management of the military.

"Cultivate well. When you reach the [Void Imperial Realm], I will talk to Speaker Sikong and have you return to Tianfu City, where I will arrange an easy post for you."

Ye Xiu was quite familiar with this brat.

So he didn't mind going to Sikong Tianwen to ask for a favor.

"Really?"

"Really."

Xiong Hanhan was instantly excited, but it hadn't lasted for a few seconds.

The commander-in-chief on the wall had already arrived in front of the two: "Greetings, General Ye, Xiong Hanhan is returning to the ranks."

"Good strength."

Ye Xiu nodded to the commander-in-chief.

He saw Xiong Hanhan fly back into the formation with a sullen face.

Heh...

He smiled.

He then spoke again: "This brat is my friend. He is used to being mischievous. If he is difficult to manage, manage him strictly. Do not let him go just because of some special relationship."

The commander-in-chief was stunned and replied with a firm tone: "Please rest assured, General Ye."

Ye Xiu did not say anything else.

Discipline is what soldiers must follow.

He hoped that Xiong Hanhan could become a pillar of Great Xia in the future. Since he had been transferred into the military, strict guidance was the correct way to lead him.

Looking at the hundreds of eyes below with slight respect.

He nodded slightly, considering it a greeting.

He walked through the air.

Instantly disappearing from this space.

Hum.

Sword Intent shook the sky.

The battle to encircle and kill the Yao Family had entered its final stages.

As Ye Xiu arrived at the battlefield.

A sword light flashed.

The severely injured Yao Family Clan Chief was immediately beheaded on the spot by Shangguan Wudao.

The battle ended.

Everyone looked at each other without much communication.

After confirming that the three elders of the Yao Family were completely dead, they all flew towards the command room.

...

...

After the decapitation plan.

The families and the Daoists did not make any major moves.

In the manor.

Sikong Tianwen listened to Ye Xiu's words, his brows furrowed deeply.

After a long while.

He finally asked for Ye Xiu's thoughts.

"Xiao Ye, do you think we should hand over Yunzhong to the families?"

"The families and the Daoists are not malignant tumors; they also fight for Great Xia, just with different philosophies from the military. Moreover, Great Xia needs the power of the families and the Daoists."

Ye Xiu answered truthfully.

Ji Xingyue's strength is extremely high; if she can really control the families and the Daoists.

For Great Xia, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

As for the request for a city.

It has both pros and cons.

The control of the nine cities is certainly important, but if a civil war erupts because of this, it would be extremely unwise.

Hearing Ye Xiu's answer.

Sikong Tianwen remained silent for a long time.

He then spoke again: "If one day you hold power, do you have the confidence to take back Yunzhong?"

Ye Xiu was stunned.

What does this old man mean?

In the future, let me succeed to the position of Speaker?

This burden is not light.

One must know that the world will still face eight tide changes, each of which will be a cataclysmic transformation.

The realms of the heavens.

Will absolutely not let the Human Race rise again.

Just like when the world first recovered, the Yao Race wanted to attack the nine cities immediately.

As long as the Human Race is not strong.

The arriving realms will definitely choose to destroy the Human Race immediately.

Ye Xiu thought for a long time.

He finally spoke: "If Great Xia continues to govern by law, and it remains our Yanhuang land, what does it matter who holds power..."
