574: Chapter 574 Xiao Yu'er's Love Tribulation

Sword Saint Tianquan sighed helplessly in his heart, feeling somewhat suspicious of this disciple who had repeatedly stirred up trouble in the Central Plains.

However, there was no evidence whatsoever.

The Underworld! Hua City!

Hun Tiandi nodded in satisfaction as he saw how quickly Shui Xing understood the benefits of political warfare.

"Using the Emperor to command the lords—we have already seized the banner of justice. The rest is up to you. Comprehend it yourself and swallow the entire Dahua Imperial Dynasty at the minimum cost!"

Hun Tiandi said solemnly.

"Yes!" Shui Xing showed an expression of excitement.

"Your Majesty, does your old servant need to snatch back the Imperial Jade Seal?" Li Jingzhong asked respectfully.

"No, that thing is the source of chaos. With it out there to buy time, let those lords fight for it!"

"In the end, even if they manage to snatch it, the world will have already changed!" A light of wisdom flickered in the depths of Shui Xing's eyes.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi nodded contentedly; Shui Xing indeed had the value of being mentored.

Subsequently, using the Emperor's name, Shui Xing began to manipulate the world. For City Lords who could be won over, he chose to recruit them.

Those who could not be won over were dealt a powerful blow.

Those who remained silent were courted.

Regardless of who these City Lords surrendered to the Imperial Court, the wars continued. Some gained power and immediately declared themselves Emperors, but Shui Xing would not let them have their way.

In the name of the Son of Heaven, he issued orders to the world for a joint crusade against them.

Hun Tiandi was using the shortest possible time to stabilize this world. At the same time, the various City Lords realized that the world was no longer what it used to be.

Of the twenty-four City Lords, only eight isolated ones remained; the rest had either joined the Imperial Court or been annihilated.

Eighty percent of the Dahua Imperial Dynasty had fallen into Hun Tiandi's hands.

Inside Hua City!

Upon the sacrificial altar, the Emperor held the imperial edict while the civil and military officials stood solemnly below.

"The Mandate of Heaven is constant and returns to oneself. The world's heroes are in chaos and the state is unstable. Relying on King Zheng's wisdom to rectify the imperial court, quell the disturbances, save the people from fire and water, and stabilize the temples..."

The original Emperor of Dahua abdicated the throne to King Zheng, Hun Tiandi.

This was the final harvest. Regarding Fortune Dynasties and the Dahua Imperial Dynasty, who knew more than Hun Tiandi?

Hun Tiandi stepped forward, took the jade seal, and looked down upon the officials with disdain for the world.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live, long live!"

The officials shouted loudly, bowing to Hun Tiandi!

Using brilliant schemes and the strategy of 'using the Emperor to command the lords', Hun Tiandi conquered the world. With the Mandate of Heaven upon him, he had been in the Underworld for less than half a year and directly skipped the stage of a mere kingdom.

He became the ruler of an Imperial Dynasty.

"I carry out the will of Heaven above and convey the will of the people below, succeeding the great tradition. From this day forth, the national title shall be Dazheng, and the capital shall be established at Chang'an..."

Hun Tiandi spoke loudly. The infinite providence above Chang'an City slowly dissipated and finally vanished.

Conversely, the providence above Chang'an City in the mortal realm surged incessantly, increasing without stop. After fifteen minutes, once it was completely refined,

It disappeared once more.

In the Underworld's Chang'an City, the vanished providence reappeared. A faint golden light shone in all directions, enveloping Hun Tiandi until his entire body glittered with gold.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live!"

Hun Tiandi officially established the Dazheng Empire in the Underworld, renamed the capital to Chang'an, and proclaimed it to the world!

In Chang'an City, Shui Xing was appointed as the First Grand General!

Immediately, he began purging the stubborn elements. Of the eight City Lords, four surrendered and four died in battle!

The Dahua Imperial Dynasty completely became history, and the Dazheng Empire took root in the Underworld.

From then on, the Underworld gained a Dazheng Empire.

Hun Tiandi had the fangtian imperial seal in his possession, but he did not bring it to the Underworld. There was only one such seal; it was unique.

However, this did not prevent Hun Tiandi from issuing imperial edicts. He brought down countless blank edicts already stamped with the fangtian imperial seal.

The Underworld, Dazheng Empire.

In the far east, the location of the Yin-Yang Palace was a forbidden land of white bones. It had once been a massive battlefield where everyone had perished in regret.

The Yin-Yang Palace being in the forbidden land provided a natural defensive area. Coupled with the presence of Hun Xiutian, safety was absolutely guaranteed.

In the Underworld, there was a human Imperial Dynasty, as well as many Ghost and foreign race Imperial Dynasties. Humans were not the only ones who could establish Fortune Dynasties.

In the region where Dazheng was located, there were three major Imperial Dynasties. Dazheng was at the easternmost point, while there were two Imperial Dynasties to the west.

The Dafang Dynasty and the Dayu Dynasty. These three dynasties shared the territory outside the forbidden land.

The construction of Chang'an City began, and various palaces and pavilions sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Inside the imperial palace's study.

Hun Tiandi sat before the desk with two golden invitations. Li Jingzhong stood to one side.

Standing before the desk were Mr. Corpse Soul, Shui Xing, and some newly promoted high officials.

"Gambling for land?" Hun Tiandi revealed a wicked smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this custom is maintained outside the forbidden land. A Land Gamble is held once every hundred years. Inviting our dynasty now is surely an acknowledgment of our status!"

"Your Majesty, are you going?" an official asked.

"Of course I'm going. If I can gain territory without shedding blood, why not!" Hun Tiandi laughed.

In the shortest time possible, Hun Tiandi began organizing the Dazheng Empire in the Underworld, restoring its former prosperity.

Countless officials in the court were also replaced by Hun Tiandi with people who were absolutely loyal to Dazheng.

Sitting in his dragon carriage, Hun Tiandi set out from Chang'an City toward the meeting of the three dynasties.

In the mortal realm, atop a mountain peak of the Xiao Family.

A figure in a simple white robe and skirt, whose every move radiated a noble temperament, was none other than Miss Xiao Yuer.

She stood before her teacher.

"Yuer, being able to sort out your feelings so quickly, you truly are my disciple!" The person standing before her with hands behind her back exuded an enchanting aura, like a fully ripened peach.

She was Miss Xiao Yuer's master: Mo Xinyue.

"Master..." Miss Xiao Yuer said with an indifferent expression.

"Alas!" Mo Xinyue looked at Miss Xiao Yuer and sighed slightly.

"Silly child, this is for your own good. I hope you don't resent your teacher!"

"I do not blame you," Miss Xiao Yuer said coldly.

"Hun Tiandi is not dead. This time is an opportunity. Only by killing him can you break through the shackles of your cultivation!"

"Cut away the troubles of your emotions so your heart is without attachment. This is your Inner Demon Tribulation!"

When Mo Xinyue mentioned Hun Tiandi, a fierce look surfaced in Miss Xiao Yuer's beautiful eyes. Her silver pupils flashed with a brilliant silver light for a fleeting moment.

"I knew you wouldn't be willing to kill him!" Mo Xinyue lamented.

"However, even if you resent your teacher, this trip to Starfall Pavilion is your chance. Pavilion Master You Quan has already invited Green Scale Snake Saint!"

"Why? Why is Qing Lin involved?" Miss Xiao Yuer asked, puzzled.

"Pavilion Master You Quan's subordinates captured a little girl and brought her back to Starfall Pavilion. This girl is very special; she possesses divine eyes even rarer than the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Qing Lin intends to devour that girl!"

"And as it happens, that girl is a maidservant by Hun Tiandi's side. According to intelligence, the ruler of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, Hun Tiandi, has already headed to the Central Plains."

Mo Xinyue did not hide anything, an alluring smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"What? Devouring someone?" Miss Xiao Yuer was shocked. On the Fighting Qi Continent, this act of devouring another's life was no different from the demonic path.

"Yuer, this trip to Starfall Pavilion is your chance. Kill Hun Tiandi, and you will be able to break through your cultivation."

Mo Xinyue urged.

"Master!" Miss Xiao Yuer said reluctantly.

"Who told you to choose him back then? This is your Inner Demon Tribulation, your destiny. The great battle is about to begin. Yuer, get ready!" Mo Xinyue stared at Miss Xiao Yuer with wide eyes.

"Inner Demon Tribulation? Destiny?"

"Heavens, do you really want to do this?"

Miss Xiao Yuer sighed helplessly. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and a wave of pain surged in her heart, making her feel as if she were suffocating.
