82: The Emperor of the Dynasty (Part Two): The Rebellion of the Princes

The Saint Grade Magic Treasure, Myriad Domain Sound.

The aggressive voices spread throughout the entire Canglan Domain.

Simultaneously, a massive, visible fissure split open across the chest of the golden body formed by the national destiny.

"A rebellion shakes the Foundation of the state, damaging the national destiny. It seems the Great Qian Empress won't even pass the first trial."

Mei Nianjiao toyed with her wine cup, speaking with a beaming smile.

"That is... Imperial Uncle Heng's voice..." You Qian spoke blankly, seemingly unable to believe it. "Imperial Uncle Heng is the most benevolent, why would he...?"

Hua Jianjia cast a subtle glance at Qin Tian.

His green robes fluttered, and his expression remained as calm as usual, without a hint of surprise.

Was this also within his expectations?

However.

War would inevitably shake the national destiny.

No matter who won or lost, the national destiny golden body would be damaged.

Furthermore.

The voices from moments ago had been heard by all the citizens of Great Qian.

Those who did not know the truth would certainly feel doubt in their hearts.

In normal times, it would have no impact.

But now, with the people's hearts in such turmoil, it was highly likely to push You Ruoli completely into the abyss... Boom!

Qianyuan City and Huaixuan City.

A world-shaking hum resonated from both cities simultaneously.

The profound light of Magic Treasures bombarded the Restrictions without restraint.

The confused masses within the cities immediately began to panic.

The same thing was happening all across Great Qian.

King Heng, King Dai, King Ming... aside from King Yan, the three remaining princes of Great Qian rebelled simultaneously.

Within Great Qian's borders, rumors regarding You Ruoli spread everywhere.

Cities were burned one by one... In the sky, You Ruoli felt suffocated.

The cracks on the national destiny golden body grew more numerous.

She even felt a hint of rejection... "I am the Great Qian Empress, the Mandated Sovereign!"

"All chaos shall be suppressed!"

"Even if heaven and earth overturn, I will hold up the sky with my own hands to support this ancestral land for the people of Great Qian!"

"The national destiny of Great Qian—who else but me!"

"No one is more qualified than I!"

You Ruoli raised her hand, and an endless, brilliant radiance erupted from her body.

The trembling national destiny golden body finally acknowledged her, returning to a state of calm.

Qin Tian smiled slightly.

"Move out."

"What?" Shu Qiyue turned her head curiously, casting a puzzled look.

She saw the sound transmission jade in Qin Tian's hand flickering.

Before long.

Shouts of battle rose from all sides.

Accompanying them was the voice of King Yan, Hidden Trace, resounding throughout Great Qian.

"By the order of the Great Qian Empress: King Heng, King Dai, and King Ming have been victim to Possession by foreign races and intend to destroy the Foundation of our Great Qian. They shall be executed!"

"Those who were deceived, leave now and Her Majesty the Empress will not pursue your past faults. Those who resist will be guilty of the same crime—kill them without mercy!"

As the words fell, hundreds of heads belonging to the foreign race rose into the air, ascending to the top of Qianyuan City.

Profound images left their mark.

This scene appeared simultaneously in every corner of Great Qian.

All the citizens of Great Qian were stunned.

"These are the foreign races..."

"Her Majesty the Empress has killed so many of them, how could she possibly be colluding with them?"

King Heng's rumors instantly collapsed.

"Was all of this prepared in advance?" Shu Qiyue was extremely curious.

Qin Tian smiled and said, "Actions are always more persuasive than words."

"By killing the foreign races, the Empress will naturally gain the recognition of the Great Qian people."

"But the battle is still ongoing. Cities are being reduced to ruins and the people of Great Qian are dying for no reason. This will ultimately affect the national destiny," Shu Qiyue said slowly.

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up. "Only when the sides are evenly matched can it be called a war."

"Once there is an overwhelming suppression of power, the fight won't even start."

Shu Qiyue was taken aback.

Overwhelming suppression?

If the Empress does not step forward, who else could suppress those rebels?

Suddenly.

Shu Qiyue looked toward the sky, her breath hitching.

Every Cultivator observing from this location was similarly frozen.

That silhouette in white in the sky.

There was no one who did not know her, no one who had not heard of her.

Yun Xi of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect.

"She's going to intervene in Great Qian's affairs!" Everyone found it somewhat unbelievable.

In mid-air.

Yun Xi's voice was indifferent.

"The foreign races bring chaos. Those who were unaware, surrender now and you may live."

As her voice fell, the Red Dust Silk moved.

Yun Xi flickered and vanished.

In less than three breaths.

She reappeared.

A blood-stained head was now in her hand.

"King... King Heng..."

Everyone was frozen in place.

In just an instant, the culprit who started the rebellion had lost his life... Yun Xi.

This name carried even more deterrent power than their Empress, You Ruoli.

They might dare to rebel against the Great Qian Empress, but they absolutely did not dare to rebel against the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect.

Yun Xi's appearance directly settled the matter.

The armies belonging to the three kings no longer had any will to resist.

No one would be foolish enough to oppose the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect.

This was absolute, overwhelming power.

In the entire Canglan Domain, the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect was supreme!

"Kid, the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect is actually interfering in Great Qian's internal affairs. Was this your idea?" Hua Jianjia looked at Qin Tian suspiciously.

"Senior Hua, let me correct you. Revered Master is only dealing with the foreign race matter. It's those princes' own fault for getting involved with them."

Foreign race my foot!

Aside from those few heads, there wasn't a single trace of the foreign race to be seen.

This was clearly the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect using the foreign race as an excuse to protect You Ruoli... Did he really think people were too stupid to see through it?

Everyone present was as sharp as a tack; naturally, they could all tell.

However, since the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect had stepped forward, they had to give them Face.

After all, rumors said that the current Sect Revered Master of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect had once chased the Revered Masters of the other five great immortal sects and beaten them for ten whole years... Whether it was true or false was unknown... but judging by the way the five great immortal sects let the rumors fly everywhere, it was likely true... and now, the person standing in the sky was that person's only Disciple.

No one dared to provoke her... The rebellion had come suddenly and was suppressed just as quickly.

After Yun Xi appeared, King Heng died, and the other two kings were backstabbed by their subordinates, who took their heads.

The Rebellion of the Three Kings was suppressed with ease.

On the national destiny golden body, that massive fissure slowly repaired itself.

The national destiny reconsolidated.

No one else stepped forward to interfere.

Golden radiance emanated from between You Ruoli's brows, enveloping the entire golden body from top to bottom.

Under the shroud of radiance, the national destiny golden body continuously shrank.

Finally, it turned into a golden phantom and merged into the space between You Ruoli's brows.

Behind You Ruoli, the Nine Heavens pavilions manifested.

The Reflecting Nine Heavens—each level a world.

In a daze, dragon patterns seemed to manifest upon those Nine Heavens pavilions.

That was precisely the Dao Fruit of the Imperial Lineage!

"Is she about to succeed?"

The crowd murmured.

Qin Tian, however, frowned.

This was only the beginning.

The next part would be the most difficult hurdle.

The Will of the People Golden Body.

It represented the wishes of the myriad people.

If she could not obtain their recognition, then all her efforts would still go to waste.

In the sky, the golden sigil between You Ruoli's brows shone brightly as she slowly looked up.

Her lips moved slightly.

The majestic voice unique to the Empress resounded throughout Great Qian.

"I seize the Dao Fruit, break through to Creation, and prove myself as a Heavenly Lord."

"For the blessings of the myriad people, for the sake of all living beings."

"Now, with my body, I open the Heavenly Word to listen to the wishes of the myriad people!"

As her voice fell.

Across Great Qian, the jade statues of You Ruoli trembled.

Countless streaks of golden light flew out, converging toward a single point.

You Ruoli raised her hand, touching the golden light before her.

In an instant.

Golden light radiated in all directions.

They all condensed into tiny golden figures, charging into You Ruoli's body...
