Inside the Ceremonial Hall!
Ignoring the gloomy faces of Xiao Zhongyuan and the others, Yu Haoran spoke to Emperor Qin, Meng Zhengkai, Prince Yi Feng and the others.
"Your Majesty, ministers, if you have free time, you might as well wait for a few hours in the Ceremonial Hall."
"Wait until this prince consort returns with Xiao Jiufa's head, and then we'll watch a face-changing drama?"
"Prince consort, are you confident?" Emperor Qin asked worriedly.
"Your Majesty, he's just an ant in the early third grade Martial Revered Realm. He can only obediently die however I want him to die." Yu Haoran replied domineeringly.
"Tsk!"
Facing Yu Haoran's domineering reply, Emperor Qin did not have time to express his opinion. Among the group of generals on the west side of the hall, a burly middle-aged general in his forties could not help but sneer.
Looking at the general who sneered disdainfully, Yu Haoran frowned slightly.
"Gu Chang, what did you mean by sneering just now?" Seeing his subordinate sneer disdainfully, Meng Zhengkai, who was once the Grand Marshal of the army, immediately scolded angrily.
At the same time, he also used his spiritual sense to introduce Gu Chang's origin.
"Prince consort, Gu Chang is the younger brother of General Gu Yue."
"Originally, according to the unspoken rules of our Great Qin army, after Gu Yue was accidentally killed, Gu Chang, whose strength and commanding ability were not inferior to Gu Yue, should have taken over the position of General of the Left Army. However, you know the final result."
"Marshal Meng, although I don't agree with Scholar Liu's evaluation of the prince consort, but to look down on one of the top ten rogue cultivators in the Tianxuan Continent, Senior Xiao, who has the peerless cultivation of a third grade Martial Revered Realm."
Facing Meng Zhengkai's question, Gu Chang replied fearlessly.
"I think, among the nine crimes listed by Elder Xiao, the crime of disrespect, arrogance and ignorance is irrefutable. Prince consort, you can't deny it!"
"Gu Chang, you …!"
Shaking his head, Yu Haoran signaled Meng Zhengkai not to speak and continued with a smile on his face.
"General Gu, if it weren't for the wedding of this Prince Consort and Princess Ling Fei the day after tomorrow, there would be no need for this Prince Consort to kill Xiao Jiufa personally."
After the wedding, he had to fully prepare for the Hidden Dragon Ranking battle between the southern region and the five regions.
After the Hidden Dragon Rankings competition, whether it was adventuring in the Ten Great Forbidden Lands or using the Interstellar Teleportation Talisman to travel through the endless void, it would be very difficult for him to take care of Qin Lingfei and Yu Siqi for a very long time in the future.
Therefore, before the Hidden Dragon Rankings competition, he had to show enough deterrence to ensure the safety of Qin Lingfei and Yu Siqi.
"With my ability in alchemy, I only need a third grade Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill, an Ice Heart Jade Bone Pill, or a Three-Striped Cyan Spirit Pill. I think there will be countless experts at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Revered Realm and the potential Emperor Wu Realm who would be willing to exchange Xiao Jiufa's head."
After leaving a warning that made everyone's expression change, Yu Haoran stepped out of the Hall of Rites and went straight to Yanluo City, which was more than twenty thousand kilometers away from Xianyang City.
Looking at Yu Haoran who stepped out of the Hall of Rites, Xiao Zhongyuan couldn't help but frown. He didn't quite understand what Yu Haoran meant by leaving those words.
However, the faces of the great scholars standing behind him instantly turned as pale as white paper.
They were bound to use the laws of the Emperor Qin Kingdom to kill Yu Haoran. The biggest reliance was Xiao Jiufa, who was a third grade Martial Revered Realm expert and one of the top ten rogue cultivators in the Tianxuan Continent.
Originally, they thought that relying on Xiao Jiufa's deterrence was enough to make the Emperor Qin choose to surrender and finally achieve their wish. Then, with the deterrence formed by killing Yu Haoran, they could eliminate the damage and weakening of Confucianism caused by burning books and burying Confucianism a year ago. This would allow the Confucians to re-enter the imperial court and regain the power to govern the world.
However, they neglected the most critical issue, which was Yu Haoran's ability in alchemy.
Except for Xiao Zhongyuan who had never really come into contact with martial arts because of his physique, the great scholars behind him were mostly in the Martial Ancestor and Martial King Realm. They were very clear about the powerful influence of a great grandmaster at the peak of alchemy.
Perhaps Yu Haoran really had the strength and means to kill Xiao Jiufa.
Looking at Yu Haoran who stepped out of the Hall of Rites, Emperor Qin felt relaxed and happy, but also deeply depressed. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
For many years, the heavy pressure that Xiao Jiufa had brought to him had instinctively formed a trace of fear.
Therefore, in the face of Xiao Zhongyuan's coercion, he only thought about how to save Yu Haoran's life and how to not let Yu Haoran and the Emperor Qin Kingdom truly break off. Instead, he ignored Yu Haoran's ability in alchemy.
The Seven Lives Profound Gate Pill was very attractive to the peerless experts at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Revered Realm and the almighty experts at the quasi- Emperor Wu Realm. He had personally witnessed the competition and trade of the pills in the Hengduan Mountains.
He knew that Xiao Jiufa, who had given him a headache for decades, was not a big threat to Yu Haoran, who could refine the Seven Lives Profound Gate Pill.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qin put away the bitter smile on his face, and then gave a look to Director Jiang, who hurried back.
Director Jiang, who had been serving Emperor Qin for decades, immediately understood the order given by the look. He immediately turned and left the Hall of Rites, and then went to gather all the imperial guards in the palace to prepare for the second burning of books and burying of scholars.
… …!
Yanluo City, located in the north of Xianyang City, was a major city with a population of more than millions.
Yanluo City, nominally belonged to the Great Emperor Qin Kingdom, but in fact, it didn't need to pay any taxes. It was a small kingdom that completely operated and developed independently.
Moreover, there was neither the City Lord's Mansion nor any family or faction in Yanluo City.
All of this originated from one of the top ten rogue cultivators in the city, Xiao Jiufa, who was known as the Judge's Pen.
Looking at a ninety-nine meter tall, eighteen story tower made of black iron, floating in the air, Yu Haoran's eyes flashed with a trace of contempt.
"Yu Haoran, it seems that this Xiao Jiufa's ambition is not small!"
Looking at the eighteen story tower made of black iron, each story was five and a half meters tall, like the legendary eighteen levels of hell, Thaling couldn't help but ridicule.
"He actually wants to rely on his own strength to recreate the eighteen levels of hell that controlled reincarnation in ancient times."
"No matter what ambition he has, I'll destroy it with a stick!" Taking out the white stick of the Upper Venerable Realm and activating the power of the Ancestral Witch Body, Yu Haoran stepped on the void and flew into the void, and said domineeringly.
"Skyward Stick!"
