In the imperial city.
The Human Emperor had killed four Demon Saints with a wave of his hand, which had completely shocked everyone.
Many people had heard of the Human Emperor's reputation, but they had never seen the power of the Human Emperor.
But now.
He had already seen it with his own eyes.
He had killed two Demon Saints with two swords.
Of the remaining two Demon Saints, one was directly nailed to death, and the other was crushed without any resistance.
Such strength.
This was already shocking to hear.
Boom!!
The formation was broken, and Shen Hong's broken body fell directly to the ground.
Qin Shujian's body was also stained with blood, but compared to Shen Hong, it was a complete victory.
Seeing this scene.
The expressions of the experts of the imperial court did not change much.
Qin Shujian had killed Du Chengwu before, so it was not surprising that he had killed Shen Hong now.
He landed.
Qin Shujian took the halberd and the storage ring from Shen Hong's hand in full view of everyone.
He waited until everything was put away.
Only then did he stand up in satisfaction.
Although an expert at the peak of the Saint Realm would be able to refine it, it would definitely give him a rich source of life.
However.
Qin Shujian still had a bottom line in his heart.
Moreover, this time, he had taken the Taoist artifacts of the Fallen Moon Prefecture and Wuan Prefecture, which had already made a lot of money.
As long as he refined the next two Taoist artifacts.
Yuan Zong's promotion was basically a matter of certainty.
It was just that —
Qin Shujian looked in the direction of the Human Emperor, with some concerns in his heart.
In this case.
His power would definitely be like the sun in the sky. If Yuan Zong was promoted, what would the Human Emperor think?
As for this matter.
Qin Shujian quickly suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
It was not the time to think about this.
Whether Yuan Zong should be promoted, and how to do so, needed to be seriously considered.
Moreover.
Yuan Zong was now on the right track.
At this time, the promotion of the sect might cause some turbulence.
Long before.
He knew what kind of drawbacks would come from the promotion of the sect to directly improve the strength.
Similarly, if the sect was promoted, the overall strength would definitely be improved to a higher level.
It was up to Qin Shujian to decide what to do with it.
"There are advantages and disadvantages to being a Grade 6 force. Only after the matter of the Central State Capital is over will we be able to consider these problems."
Qin Shujian shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore.
Subsequently.
He turned his gaze to the battlefield.
After Shen Hong was killed by him, the other rebel dukes were now in a desperate situation.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to surrender. Please give my Qin family a way out!"
After Qin Yangbo took Gu Changqing's hit, he spat out blood and knelt down without any resistance.
He didn't ask the Human Emperor to spare his life.
Because.
None of the leaders of the rebellion would be able to survive.
Otherwise, it would not be enough to intimidate the world. In the future, everyone would rebel at any time.
Therefore, Qin Yangbo didn't ask for a way out for himself. He only wanted to fight for a chance of survival for the Qin family.
After saying that.
Qin Yangbo prostrated himself on the ground, pressing his forehead against the ground.
The Marquis of the Marquis Manor had lost all of their previous prestige.
The Human Emperor looked calm and said indifferently, "Exterminate the Qin family!"
"Your Majesty, are you really going to kill all of us?"
Qin Yangbo suddenly raised his head and looked at the Human Emperor with red eyes.
The Emperor said, "Your Uncle Qin Yang rebelled and killed many soldiers of the Great Zhao. How many lives have fallen? Do you think you alone can offset this sin?"
"To be honest, you don't deserve it. Even if the entire Qin family works together, you don't deserve it."
"Your Majesty, I rebelled alone. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Qin family."
"It's their sin to be born in the Qin family!"
The Human Emperor shook his head. The coldness in his words made Qin Yangbo's heart tremble.
After saying that.
The Human Emperor pointed his finger and Qin Yangbo's kneeling body exploded. The arrogant Marquis Xichong, who had dominated the Xichong Prefecture, was completely dead.
Boom!!
The Golden Crow soared into the sky and let out a loud cry. The surrounding temperature suddenly skyrocketed, forcing the others to step back.
Zhao Xinghuai was no longer as high-spirited as before.
Under the siege of many imperial court experts, he was battered and exhausted.
As for rebelling.
When the Human Emperor appeared, he no longer had this thought.
The Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag in his hand was Zhao Xinghuai's last resort.
It was because of this six-seal Dao Artifact that he had been able to hold on until now.
The moment the heat wave skyrocketed and forced the others to step back.
Zhao Xinghuai directly flew into the sky and fled out of the Central State Prefecture.
It was impossible for him to surrender without putting up a fight.
Even though he knew that the chances of escaping were slim, he still had a glimmer of hope.
"Come back!" The Human Emperor stretched out his hand and the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag that originally belonged to Zhao Xinghuai fell into his hand.
Then.
The Human Emperor shook his hand gently. A 100-foot-long Golden Crow soared into the sky and instantly swallowed Zhao Xinghuai.
Feeling the heat behind him, Zhao Xinghuai had not yet recovered from the state of the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag being taken away. He immediately propped up his protective energy and tried to block the 100-foot-long Golden Crow.
The powerful protective energy of a peak Saint could not be broken by ordinary Dao Artifacts. However, it melted in front of the 100-foot-long Golden Crow.
Soon.
The Marquis of White Yong, Zhao Xinghuai, was swallowed by the 100-foot-long Golden Crow and turned into ashes.
Immediately, the Human Emperor put away the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag and looked at the other Marquises. An invisible hand of protective energy stretched out. "Come back!"
The Dao Artifacts in the hands of the Marquises all broke away from their original control and flew toward the Human Emperor.
Looking at the Dao Artifacts in front of him.
The Human Emperor used his Divine Thought to forcefully erase all the Master Recognition marks on the Dao Artifacts.
"Puff!"
After the Master Recognition marks were erased, the Marquises all spat out blood and their strength fell to the freezing point.
Qin Shujian's expression changed slightly when he saw this.
The Human Emperor took away the Dao Artifacts of the Marquises so easily.
Was it because of the other party's strength, or did he have a hidden card in the beginning?
This point.
He was not sure.
However, he still had two Dao Artifacts in the Marquises. If the Human Emperor asked him to take them back, should he give them back or not?
For a moment, Qin Shujian was a little conflicted.
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, the Human Emperor had already attacked and killed the remaining Marquises.
Just like the fall of the four Demon Saints.
The remaining Marquises could not even last a round in the hands of the Human Emperor and were all killed.
This strength.
It was already beyond the scope of what ordinary people could understand.
Even Xi Yang and the other Almighties looked extremely solemn when they saw the Human Emperor's means.
Only by breaking through the Almighties.
Only then could they understand how terrifying the Almighties' strength was.
However.
Such an Almighties could not stir up any waves in front of the Human Emperor at all.
There was no reason for it.
The same thought appeared in their minds.
The other party had broken through the Celestial Limit and reached a higher level!
Only this conjecture was in line with reality.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the Human Emperor was so strong.
Moreover.
There was an even more important point.
That was —
If the Human Emperor did not break through, his lifespan would not be long now. It was simply unreasonable for him to have such strength at this stage of dying.
At this moment.
All the Marquises were dead. Only the Marquises' armies stood there quietly, waiting for the Human Emperor's orders.
The Human Emperor's calm expression disappeared and turned solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Xi Yang!"
"Your son is here!"
"From today onwards, you are the Crown Prince of the Great Zhao. I will give you seven days to quell all the rebellions in the various Marquises!"
"Your son accepts the order!"
Xi Yang respectfully accepted the order.
From the moment the Human Emperor appeared, he knew that his Emperor's position was over.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he felt more relaxed.
"A month later, the Great Zhao will attack the Demon Clan. All humans can participate in the battle!" The Human Emperor looked at everyone and issued a second order.
Instantly.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, but it was quickly replaced by joy.
This time, the attack on the Demon Clan.
It would definitely not be as simple as driving the Demon Clan back to the Endless Mountains.
As such.
Attacking the Demon Clan, they would probably destroy the entire Demon Clan.
If the Demon Clan was destroyed, the Human Clan would be the only major clan in the world and it would be difficult to resist.
— —
What happened after that was much simpler.
All the rebellious dukes were killed. Just as the Human Emperor had said, they were all exterminated. For a moment, heads were rolling everywhere.
But no one dared to plead for mercy. They did not even dare to say a word.
In less than seven days, the rebels who still existed in various places surrendered one after another and did not dare to go against the Imperial Court.
As for this period of time.
Qin Shujian stayed in the Bright Vision General's Mansion, quietly recovering from his injuries.
Killing Shen Hong was not an easy task for him either.
Of course.
The harvest was also very rich.
One was Du Chengwu and the other was Shen Hong. Both of them were experts at the peak of the Saint Realm. Although they did not use the Red Lotus Of Purgation to refine them, they still gave each of them three hundred million points of life as a harvest.
In addition to that.
They were the treasures in their storage rings and the two Dao Artifacts.
For these things.
Qin Shujian had not tidied them up yet.
It was not until he completely recovered from his injuries that he began to prepare to tidy them up.
At the same time.
He also received the news that the Demon Clan had retreated from the Beiyun Mansion.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian was not too surprised.
After all, the four Demon Saints had fallen and the Human Emperor's power covered the world. It was natural for the Demon Clan to retreat.
From the beginning to the end.
The Demon Clan did not have the ability to compete with the Human Emperor.
Otherwise, they would not have hidden in the Skyend Mountains for so many years and did not dare to move. They only dared to come out when the Human Emperor faked his death.
This was a typical example of a monkey becoming king when the tiger is not in the mountain.
Now that the Human Emperor had reappeared, the Demon Clan could only retreat into the Skyend Mountains if they did not want to die so quickly.
Just as Qin Shujian was about to take stock of his gains …
However, Dan Hao had come alone.
He did not hide his aura, so Qin Shujian had already sensed him when he approached.
Immediately.
Qin Shujian put away the things and then opened the door. He happened to see Dan Hao coming in from outside.
"General Dan!"
"Sect Master Qin, you came out just in time. His Majesty ordered me to come and invite you to meet him!" Dan Hao was obviously in a good mood and there was a smile on his face.
"His Majesty wants to see me?"
Qin Shujian was slightly stunned and there was some surprise on his face.
The Human Emperor wanted to see him!
To be honest, he really did not expect it.
The Human Emperor was not Xi Yang. With such a level of existence, it was a bit strange to see him, a cultivator at the first level of the Heaven Realm.
However.
Although Qin Shujian had concerns in his heart, he also knew that he could not refuse this matter.
Hearing this, he nodded and said, "When do you want to go?"
"Now."
"General Dan, please lead the way."
"Haha, Sect Master Qin, just follow me." Dan Hao smiled and led the way on the side.
While walking.
He seemed to know some of Qin Shujian's thoughts and comforted him, "Sect Master Qin, don't be nervous. His Majesty summoned you this time, it will only be a good thing, not a bad thing."
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian also calmed down a little.
Thinking about it carefully, Dan Hao's words were not without reason.
If the Human Emperor really wanted to do something to him, he did not need to go through so much trouble and summon him personally.
With the power outside the Imperial City and the means of doing things.
If the other party really wanted to deal with a person, he was afraid that it would be better to directly crush him to death.
The second time he entered the palace.
Qin Shujian was somewhat familiar with it.
The same back garden, the same place.
The difference was.
The person standing there had already changed from Xi Yang to the current Human Emperor.
"Your Majesty, Qin Shujian has been brought here!" Dan Hao said with a respectful attitude.
The Human Emperor glanced at Dan Hao and said with a smile, "General Dan has worked hard this time!"
"Your Majesty is too kind. If there is nothing else, this humble subject will take his leave first."
"Go."
"Yes!"
Dan Hao cupped his hands and left.
Unlike in front of Xi Yang, this General Ming Yuan did not dare to be rude in front of the Human Emperor.
After Dan Hao left.
Qin Shujian then cupped his hands and said, "Qin Shujian greets the Human Emperor!"
"I heard that Sect Master Qin is the reincarnation of a mighty figure, I wonder if it is true or not?"
The Human Emperor smiled slightly, like an ordinary elder, but the faintly discernible majesty on his body still made people not dare to look directly at him.
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian's heart trembled, but his expression did not change as he replied, "Maybe!"
"It seems that Sect Master Qin has not awakened the fate!"
"Fate?"
"As long as the reincarnation of an expert, some are born knowing, and some are covered in dust. They need to return to the peak of the past to awaken the memories of their previous life."
The Human Emperor patiently explained. Said.
"If Sect Master Qin has not awakened the fate, then it should belong to the latter."
"If Your Majesty had not said it, I would not have known."
"The Mountain Breaking Halberd and the Perishing Jade are in your hands!" The Human Emperor suddenly changed the topic and said lightly.
"The Mountain Breaking Halberd, the Perishing Jade?"
Hearing this, Qin Shujian was obviously stunned.
These two names, he was a little unfamiliar.
However.
Qin Shujian was only confused for a moment before he immediately reacted, "Your Majesty is talking about the Mansion Guarding Dao Artifacts in the hands of Du Chengwu and Shen Hong?"
"Yes, in the past, I obtained twelve six-seal Dao Artifacts and distributed them to each mansion to suppress the world's luck."
The Human Emperor nodded and said, "Among them, each mansion has a Dao Artifact. The Perishing Jade in the hands of Du Chengwu, the Mountain Breaking Halberd in the hands of Shen Hong, and the Mountain Burning Flame Flag in the hands of Zhao Xinghuai are all like this."
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian had a little understanding of the Mansion Guarding Dao Artifacts.
Twelve six-seal Dao Artifacts!
To be honest, even if he had guessed, he was still a little surprised when he really knew.
What did a six-seal Dao Artifact mean?
If Qin Shujian was not wrong, a six-seal Dao Artifact could at least give birth to a sixth-level force.
As for a sixth-level force.
It was definitely not comparable to a fifth-level force.
However.
Now that the Human Emperor mentioned these two Dao Artifacts, it also made Qin Shujian's heart pound.
After the other party finished speaking.
The scene quieted down for a moment.
After a long time.
Qin Shujian felt that the surrounding environment was a little dull, and could not help but ask, "Your Majesty means that you want to take back the Heaven Breaking Halberd and the Perishing Jade?"
According to the normal process.
As soon as the Human Emperor mentioned these two Dao Artifacts, ordinary people should consciously hand them over.
However — —
For Qin Shujian, the two six-seal Dao Artifacts were too precious. If he handed them over for nothing, he would die of heartache.
Therefore, it was better to ask more clearly.
If the Human Emperor really wanted them, then he could only return them.
If he misunderstood the other party's meaning and lost the two six-seal Dao Artifacts for nothing, he would have nowhere to cry.
Hearing this, the Human Emperor laughed and said, "You can kill Du Chengwu and Shen Hong with your own ability. Those two Dao Artifacts are your spoils of war. If you can use them well, they will be a big resistance."
Speaking of this.
He looked at the distant sky, shook his head and said, "There are too few strong people in the Human Race."
Qin Shujian cupped his hands and thanked, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the treasure!"
"Well, I heard that you have reached the second realm of Array Formation Grandmaster. This is a third realm Array Formation Grandmaster comprehension crystal. I might as well give it to you!" The Human Emperor laughed, took out a crystal from somewhere, and threw it over casually.
Qin Shujian hurriedly reached out and caught it. For a moment, he looked a little embarrassed.
He dared to swear.
He really did not intend to ask for benefits from the other party.
However, looking at the inheritance crystal in his hand, Qin Shujian simply kept it and said with a sincere face, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The third realm Array Formation Grandmaster comprehension crystal.
For him, it was still very useful.
The gap between the first realm and the second realm was a hundred times. The gap between the second realm and the third realm was at least a hundred times.
100 billion life sources. This was a huge number.
Now that most of the demons in the Great Zhao were killed, it was obviously impossible to harvest a few hundred million more life sources.
If only Yuan Zong provided it.
100 billion life sources, it would probably take hundreds of years.
Moreover.
This was under the premise that he did not raise his own realm.
If he had to raise his cultivation techniques at the same time, the consumption in the later stage would be even higher.
Although this inheritance crystal might not be able to make him suddenly reach the third realm of Array Formation Grandmaster, it was enough for him to gain some enlightenment and explore some things.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back." The Human Emperor directly ordered him to leave.
In response, Qin Shujian immediately cupped his hands and left.
In front of the Human Emperor, he felt pressured all the time. Now that the Human Emperor asked him to leave, it was just what he wanted.
Looking at Qin Shujian's back view.
A look of doubt flashed across the Human Emperor's eyes.
"The reincarnation of a mighty figure who has never awakened?"
"Even if he is the reincarnation of a mighty figure, it is impossible for him to go from nothing to a Heavenly Being in just a few years."
"To be able to do this, only an expert above the Almighty level would be able to do so. If that's the case, could Qin Shujian be an expert from the Ancient Heavenly Court?"
For a moment.
Many doubts arose in the Human Emperor's heart.
However, he did not seriously investigate too much.
So what if he was a mighty figure of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Whether he was the reincarnation of a mighty figure or not, what did it mean?
As long as the other party was a mighty figure of the Human Clan, it was enough. As for the others, they were all small problems.
"I only hope that the Human Clan will exist forever!"
The Human Emperor sighed, and there seemed to be some melancholy on his face. But soon, the melancholy disappeared.
Immediately afterward.
A dense aura spread from his body, and then his body disappeared on the spot.
On the other side.
After coming out of the palace, Qin Shujian went back to Mingyuan General's Mansion without stopping.
As soon as Dan Hao sat down, he saw him coming back.
"Sect Master Qin, you came back so soon?"
"I just chatted with His Majesty for a while, and came back when there was nothing else." Qin Shujian laughed and did not say much.
The Human Emperor gave him something.
He would not spread it everywhere.
Dan Hao heard this and did not ask too much.
Then.
Qin Shujian said, "I've troubled General Dan for a long time this time. Now that the matter of the Imperial City is over, I should take my leave."
"Sect Master Qin, don't you want to stay for a few more days?"
"No, although the Monster Clan has retreated now, Yuan Sect is close to the Skyend Mountain Range after all. I'm afraid there have been many twists and turns in the attack of the Monster Clan this time. I still have to go back and deal with some things."
Qin Shujian shook his head and refused.
Now, he was not eager to go back, but he was not far away.
Some time ago, when the Monster Clan attacked, the list of people who died in Yuan Sect was almost flooded. Fortunately, there were no familiar names on it, which proved that nothing had happened to the higher-ups of the sect.
But this time.
Yuan Sect was definitely shaken by the twists and turns.
If he had not received the news that Marquis Beiyun had led the army back to the Beiyun Mansion, Qin Shujian would have rushed back when the Monster Clan attacked.
It was also because of Marquis Beiyun's return that he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
After all.
With Marquis Beiyun's help, the problem could basically be solved.
If even Marquis Beiyun could not solve it, it would be difficult for him to change anything with his own strength.
Therefore, Qin Shujian did not go back.
Now that the rebels were dead and he had taken the benefits, the rest had nothing to do with him.
There was not much use for him to stay in the Bright Vision General's Mansion.
Hearing this, Dan Hao did not stop him.
"If I go to the Liang Mountain Spirit Domain in the future, Sect Master Qin, please do not avoid me."
"Haha, General Dan, don't worry. When the time comes, I will be waiting for you. Goodbye!"
"Take care, Sect Master Qin!"
Qin Shujian cupped his hands and left the Bright Vision General's Mansion.
The Imperial City was different from other cities.
In the Imperial City, only the inner city had a teleportation door for the people of the Imperial Court.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Qin Shujian was not a member of the Imperial Court, so naturally, he could not use the teleportation door in the inner city. Therefore, if he wanted to go back, he could only go to other cities and then teleport to the Beiyun Mansion step by step.
He did not waste too much time.
After a simple identification of the direction, he walked toward the city gate.
After he went out of the city gate.
Qin Shujian flew into the air and turned into a stream of light, escaping into the distance.
About an hour later.
A city was already in sight.
