220: Taking control of the Holy Territory, starting with conquering the Queen of Western Chu
Boom…
Seven Grand Saints collapsed directly to the ground, shaking everyone’s hearts.
Seven Grand Saints, just like that, were killed!
The officials looked at the two killing gods floating in the Void Realm of the great hall, and involuntarily shivered.
“For Little Mud Person’s Face, you, from now on, are no longer a member of the Jiang Family, scram!”
Su Shengyuan looked at Jiang Taishang, who had just persuaded Jiang Yunni to submit to the Hall of Hundred Saints, and said coldly.
Jiang Taishang instantly became furious, but due to the pressure from Ximen and Dugu, he ultimately held back, snorting coldly, “I am the Old Ancestor of the Jiang Family, do you, an outsider, have the right to interfere in my Jiang Family’s affairs…”
He hadn't finished speaking.
Su Shengyuan shook his head and smiled.
He waved his hand casually.
Ximen’s figure instantly disappeared into the Void Realm, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Jiang Taishang.
“One Sword Determines Life and Death!”
Pfft!
Jiang Taishang’s glabella exploded with terrifying Sword Qi, and dreadful Sword Intent surged into his Sea of Consciousness, completely obliterating his Primordial Spirit and Origin.
At this moment!
The civil and military officials looked at the elegant and amiable figure and immediately knelt, their bodies prostrate on the ground, trembling.
This was simply a killing god!
Su Shengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, coldly sweeping his gaze over the civil and military officials below, and said coldly, “From today onwards, this Saint shall proclaim himself King Zhenchu, and thoroughly investigate all officials who collude with Sect forces. Anyone discovered will have their entire family executed.”
“Additionally, you may report what you know to Little Mud Person.”
“Dismissed!”
As Su Shengyuan’s calm voice rang out.
All the civil and military officials, trembling, slowly exited the great hall.
The many Saint Realm magnates of the Jiang Family Royal Family cupped their hands in a bow to Su Shengyuan, then disappeared into the Void Realm.
Su Shengyuan suppressed everything with thunderous methods.
This not only directed all the blame towards himself but also undoubtedly gave the Jiang Family a chance to breathe.
Therefore, Su Shengyuan was worthy of their bow!
“Why did you come personally?”
After only Su Shengyuan and Jiang Yunni were left in the great hall, Jiang Yunni asked happily.
Su Shengyuan chuckled, “What? Not welcome? Should I leave then?”
“You came and still want to leave? Dream on!”
Jiang Yunni disregarded her Empress’s dignity and hugged Su Shengyuan’s arm.
When Su Shengyuan was still young, Su Tianhong had brought him to the Western Chu Holy Dynasty.
At that time, he stayed there for a long time, and it was during this period that he met the little follower, who was the only daughter of the West Chu Great Emperor, Jiang Yunni.
Little Mud Person was also a nickname Su Shengyuan gave to Jiang Yunni from that time.
Because at that time, Jiang Yunni often dragged Su Shengyuan to play with mud, getting herself covered in it every time.
“This time, I will take control of West Chu, using West Chu as a starting point to govern the Holy Border Realm. West Chu will be the only uncrowned king of the Holy Border Realm.”
Su Shengyuan hid nothing from Jiang Yunni, stating his thoughts.
Jiang Yunni nodded, “Father Emperor told me before he died that from now on, the Western Chu Holy Dynasty will honor the Su Family.”
“No, the Western Chu Holy Dynasty will still be the Western Chu Holy Dynasty, it does not belong to the Su Family…”
Su Shengyuan shook his head and refused!
Seeing Su Shengyuan refuse, Jiang Yunni immediately looked a little sad, “I understand…”
Su Shengyuan flicked her delicate nose, teasing, “But you, Little Mud Person, can only belong to this Saint.”
Only then did Jiang Yunni feel relieved, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Su Shengyuan, “If I am yours, isn’t the Western Chu Holy Dynasty yours too? It’s still the same thing.”
Su Shengyuan laughed heartily and pulled Jiang Yunni into his arms.
“That’s different. This Saint wants to cultivate an Empress who will rule the Holy Border Realm. The Western Chu Holy Dynasty is yours, and the Holy Border Realm is also yours, but you are this Saint’s…”
Jiang Yunni: “What Treasure Artifact are you carrying? It’s poking me!”
Su Shengyuan: “…”
Then, holding Jiang Yunni, he went to her sleeping quarters.
Taking control of the Holy Border Realm, let’s start by conquering the West Chu Empress!
… … … …
The news of Su Shengyuan’s powerful suppression and killing of the Hall of Hundred Saints’ Seven Elders quickly spread in all directions, reaching the major forces within West Chu.
Some people who knew Su Shengyuan’s Origin immediately chose to express their loyalty to the West Chu Imperial Family.
Others watched from the sidelines, enjoying the show!
And some rushed to the Hall of Hundred Saints to plot the assassination of Su Shengyuan.
At the same time!
The Empress issued an imperial decree, bestowing upon Su Shengyuan the title of King Zhenchu and granting him a King Zhenchu's Manor, located within the imperial city of Great Chu.
“Where should I start killing from…”
In the King Zhenchu's Manor!
Su Shengyuan sat behind the desk, looking at the sparse secret letters on it, his eyes full of amusement.
Behind him, Qingluan and Hongye served him, living a life as happy as an Immortal.
As for Tong Xiayue, she was in the palace accompanying Jiang Yunni!
Just then!
A memorial attracted Su Shengyuan’s attention.
After Su Shengyuan finished reading the information on it, he immediately had an idea.
“When West Chu established its dominance in the Shu region, those meritorious officials who fought in the campaigns were ennobled as Marquis, with hereditary succession. Among them, the Marquis of Peace had close ties with the Purple Firmament Holy Land, and the Marquis of Peace’s son even became a direct disciple of the Purple Firmament Holy Land…”
“Then let’s start by killing the Marquis of Peace!”
“…”
Now that Su Shengyuan was King Zhenchu, Jiang Yunni had handed over an army to Su Shengyuan, naming it the King Zhenchu's Army, symbolizing the army that guards West Chu.
The leader of the King Zhenchu's Army was a Celestial Human Realm mighty figure!
His name was Wang Er!
Su Shengyuan rose, taking Qingluan and Hongye out of the room.
In the courtyard, Wang Er, clad in armor and with a sword at his waist, stood like an iron tower.
The aura of slaughter accumulated from years of campaigning, even when restrained, gave people a terrifying feeling.
Ji Shenhuang, on the other hand, was curiously observing Wang Er.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
Wang Er’s Face was respectful as he saluted Su Shengyuan.
He had naturally heard about Su Shengyuan’s powerful suppression and killing of the Hall of Hundred Saints’ Seven Elders in the imperial palace, and he felt immensely satisfied.
It was Su Shengyuan who saved West Chu’s last bit of Face.
Therefore, he admired Su Shengyuan immensely!
Upon hearing that the Empress wanted him to follow King Zhenchu, he was even more excited and couldn’t sleep all night.
“General Wang, if this King asks you to surround the Marquis of Peace Residence, do you dare?” Su Shengyuan looked at this general, who was loyal to the Jiang Family, and asked with a smile.
“I dare! I, your subordinate, have long been displeased with that bastard. As a Marquis of the court, he actually colludes with Sects. If it weren’t for my subordinate’s insufficient strength, I would have killed that scoundrel long ago.”
It seemed that Wang Er, this brave military man, had been bullied by those Marquis quite a bit!
“Wang Er, heed my command!”
“Your subordinate is here!”
“I order you to lead the King Zhenchu's Army Dragon Roar Guards to surround the Marquis of Peace Residence. If anyone dares to charge out, there is no need to wait for this King’s imperial decree; directly trample the Marquis of Peace Residence.”
Upon hearing Su Shengyuan’s command.
Wang Er trembled all over, his voice somewhat choked.
He knew that under the guardianship of King Zhenchu, West Chu was about to rise.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Wang Er acted with swiftness and decisiveness, bowing respectfully, then turning to summon the Dragon Roar Guards.
Su Shengyuan looked at Wang Er’s retreating figure and nodded in satisfaction.
“This man can be promoted. In the future, he might be a Sword of slaughter for West Chu.”
Qingluan and Hongye were a little surprised.
“It’s rare to hear Young Master praise someone. If Wang Er heard Young Master’s praise, he would probably die of happiness, wouldn’t he?”
Su Shengyuan glanced at Qingluan and Hongye, giving each of their perky buttocks a slap.
“Qingluan’s Void Realm Sword Body should also be at Major Achievement, right?”
“Hongye’s Immortal Spirit Array Body should also be close to Major Achievement, right?”
“Do you still want Young Master to pick the fruits?”
As Su Shengyuan’s three consecutive questions rang out.
Qingluan and Hongye immediately quieted down.
As for Ji Shenhuang, he looked up at the sky, feigning ignorance.
He had already grown accustomed to Su Shengyuan’s habit of tormenting single people.
