Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1254 - 1240: Unifying the Southern State! [Second Update]

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1240: Unifying the Southern State! [Second Update]

"Is this confidence enough?"

Xiao Yi looked down at the crowd, with a wicked charm in his gaze that seemed to see through everyone.

The gathered ministers glanced at each other.

They dared not meet Xiao Yi’s eyes.

They all knew full well Nantian Wen’s situation; although he had stayed at the peak of the Heavenly Venerate Realm for centuries, with the backing of Nantian Dynasty’s supreme fortune, he had a strong foundation.

But... frёewebηovel.cѳm

Nantian Wen had just been poisoned by Nantian Xiao, his life hanging by a thread.

Yet Xiao Yi, with a flick of his finger, helped him break through the shackles of the Heavenly Venerate Realm and stepped into the Supreme Realm.

Not only that.

He even directly reached the Peak of Supreme Realm.

It’s simply a miracle!

Now that Nantian Wen has stepped into the Peak of Supreme Realm, his cultivation even surpasses the few ancestors behind the Nantian Dynasty.

Plus, Xiao Yi, who with a flick of his finger elevates the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak to the Supreme Realm Peak, is a profoundly terrifying existence.

How could they have any thoughts of resistance?

The Great General’s intestines were almost green with regret, he too was at the peak of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, if he could get Xiao Yi’s guidance, to say nothing of rising directly to the Peak of Supreme Realm like Nantian Wen.

Even just stepping into the Supreme Realm would be a tremendous benefit.

But...

Due to the provocation by the Grand Mentor, he directly stood on the opposite side of Nantian Wen.

How could Xiao Yi possibly help him improve his cultivation?

The Grand Mentor, like a candle in the wind, swayed, his aged body trembling, his spirit completely covered in despair, "What, what should be done now..."

Now he could only rely on the fact that he was an old minister, hoping Nantian Wen would spare his life for his years of diligent service.

Just then...

Nantian Wen descended from the sky as a stream of light, standing quietly next to Xiao Yi, his calm gaze sweeping over the crowd in the hall.

These ministers who had just been threatening to retire and return home.

Now all were kneeling on the ground, trembling, full of fear, "We congratulate Your Majesty on entering the Peak of Supreme Realm!"

"Your Majesty is mighty, with you overseeing, our Nantian Dynasty is sure to thrive!"

"Your Majesty is wise..."

If it were any other day.

Listening to the respectful words of the ministers.

Nantian Wen would surely be pleased, but now he was calm.

When his cultivation reached the Peak of Supreme Realm, looking at these ministers who used to continually maneuver against him, he once had to employ various Emperor’s Mind Art.

But now...

He’s just broken through to the Peak of Supreme Realm.

These people are already trembling, without even the courage to negotiate with him.

If he could step into the Sacred Venerate Realm?

Who would dare to say no to him?

"This is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme!" Xiao Yi said calmly.

Nantian Wen nodded.

He too understood this truth, but previously being on the throne, holding imperial power, maneuvering among various factions, he gradually overlooked the issue of his own strength.

Putting more thought into the Emperor’s Mind Art.

Exhale!

Nantian Wen let out a long breath, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the Great General, the Grand Mentor, and others, saying word by word, "Didn’t you want to retire? I approve!"

"Ah?"

The ministers raised their heads in disbelief, looking at Nantian Wen.

The Grand Mentor trembled, "Your, Your Majesty, you absolutely must not! We are all pillars of the country, if we retired, the dynasty will be in chaos..."

"Your Majesty, reconsider!"

"The dynasty cannot do without us..."

"Your Majesty cannot do without our assistance..."

The ministers were completely panicked.

Retire.

Return home.

This had always been the ministers’ ace against imperial power.

The emperor facing the ministers’ request to retire and return home would often desperately persuade them to stay, even making concessions in the hall, a tacit rule between ruler and minister spanning countless years.

But now...

Nantian Wen directly showed his hand, no longer playing with them.

Nantian Wen said coldly, "I’ve already reconsidered multiple times before making this decision, such traitors who only care about their own interests and ignore the dynasty’s honor, what use are you to me?"

"Your Majesty..."

The Great General raised his head sharply, seeing Nantian Wen’s resolute attitude, he gritted his teeth, speaking deeply, "Your Majesty must not forget that more than half of the leaders of our army come from my gates, if you act arbitrarily. It will definitely chill the hearts of ministers and many soldiers, then..."

The Grand Mentor also said, "I’ve been in the bureaucracy for centuries, with countless students under my banner, many holding key positions. If they know I retired, they will certainly follow suit..."

The two were blatantly threatening Nantian Wen.

This statement was nothing short of saying: If you act against us, don’t blame us for rebelling!

Nantian Wen sighed softly.

Everyone was delighted.

The Grand Mentor transmitted to the Great General, "See, in the end, His Majesty still has to make concessions..."

The Great General nodded.

However...

Under the fearless gaze of the two, Nantian Wen, with a chilling face, said, "Since you refuse a toast and insist on drinking a forfeit, don’t blame me."

"Hmm?"

The Great General and the Grand Mentor were stunned.

Nantian Wen said word by word, "As long as I am here, as long as Xiao Zhenguo is here, Nantian Dynasty will not fall into chaos."

"No..."

"Your Majesty, reconsider..."

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, spare me..."

Ministers were terrified.

But this time Nantian Wen showed no mercy, with a wave of his hand, a cold wind swept through the hall.

Crack crack!

The ground froze, those ministers belonging to the Great General and the Grand Mentor fell into ice statues in the cold wind.

Frozen to death!

The power of the Peak of Supreme Realm is evident!

In an instant.

Only a third of the high-ranking ministers remained, each as silent as cicadas in winter.

Nantian Wen looked at the ice statues, feeling unspeakably relieved, coldly saying, "Listen, from now on, Xiao Yi is the King of Equal Rank with me in Nantian Dynasty, seeing him is like seeing me, understood?"

"We understand!"

"Salute Xiao Zhenguo!"

"Xiao Zhenguo is mighty..."

The ministers spoke in unison, none dared to disobey.

The fate of those who disobeyed...

Were those ice statues.

Nantian Wen, with the might of thunder, swept the objections from the court.

His thunderous means and the battle power of the Peak of Supreme Realm are enough to suppress any opposing voices in the Nantian Dynasty, turning it into his one-man rule.

And this...

Is exactly what Xiao Yi was willing to see.

He needed to unify the Southern State.

The Great Qian Dynasty naturally would not have any opposing voices.

Nantian Holy Land should also pose little problem.

The only issue was Nantian Dynasty, previously he was still pondering how to convince Nantian Wen, but now, after the affair with Nantian Xiao, Nantian Wen sees Sky Abode Pavilion as a mortal enemy.

Thus, the greatest obstacle to unifying the Southern State is gone.

This was indeed an unexpected joy!

With this thought.

Xiao Yi looked at Nantian Wen, "Brother Nantian, I wish to integrate the Nantian Holy Land, Nantian Dynasty, and Great Qian Dynasty, unifying the Southern State. With the power of the Southern State, wipe out Sky Abode Pavilion, what do you think?"

Xiao Yi’s eyes burned as he looked at Nantian Wen.

This emperor of Nantian Dynasty trusted him deeply, even gifting him the Divine Weapon Red Sky Sword.

Towards Nantian Wen...

Xiao Yi cannot coerce with force.

If Nantian Wen is unwilling, his plan to unify the Southern State will face many obstacles.

Facing Xiao Yi’s gaze, Nantian Wen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I can agree to your plan, but you must meet one condition..."

Xiao Yi was taken aback, "What condition?"
