The Zhao father and son did not know who the Emperor was.
However, the Zhao father and son knew that Ye Xuan's background was not simple to make Lin Tianhe act so humbly before Ye Xuan. Among them, Zhao Xun was the most terrified, and a look of despair flashed across his eyes.
Buzz!
The world was filled with killing intent, and blood rained down. Ye Xuan did nothing, but Lin Tianhe exploded into a cloud of blood mist and no longer existed between heaven and earth.
Dong!
With a point of his finger, immortal light sprinkled down, and the world was distorted to the extreme. The ten thousand soldiers under Zhao Xun's command were turned into dust, and the world became deathly silent.
Ye Xuan was indifferent, emotionless, and silent. These ants in the mortal world couldn't arouse the slightest bit of interest in Ye Xuan. He didn't even want to waste his breath and directly killed them all.
Suddenly turning around, Ye Xuan drifted away, but his low voice fell into Zhao Gou's ears.
"If you want to successfully ascend the throne, this father and son pair will be your greatest restraint. I will only give you one day to stabilize your country, and then come see me. I have something to tell you."
Looking at Ye Xuan's departing figure, Zhao Gou was speechless, and his face was flushed. He was extremely agitated at this moment, because Ye Xuan gave him the feeling that he was too powerful.
Strong, domineering, and lawless. This was the attitude that Ye Xuan displayed. It was as if everything in the world was just an ant in his eyes, and he would not be moved in the slightest.
Lin Tianhe was dead, and so were his subordinates. Zhao Xun was now alone, and the rest of the matter became very simple.
It was said that the royal family was the most heartless. This sentence was well reflected in Zhao Gou's case. Zhao Xun was dismembered in the struggle for the throne, and his father, Zhao Ze, was imprisoned deep in the palace. In the dead of night, he took poison and committed suicide.
As for whether he really committed suicide, anyone with a discerning eye knew what had happened.
When the dust settled, Zhao Gou finally ascended the throne as he wished, becoming the new monarch of the small Holy Empire.
It was just that he had obtained his throne by killing his brother and father. However, under the suppression of Zhao Gou's martial power, these negative rumors had completely disappeared.
When the sun rose the next day, Zhao Gou did not immediately hold the coronation ceremony. Instead, he went to visit Ye Xuan alone because he knew that everything he had now was given to him by Ye Xuan.
Since Ye Xuan was able to help him seize the throne, he naturally had some requests for him. Thus, he did not dare to be negligent. He had been waiting outside the palace where Ye Xuan lived for a long time.
"Come in."
When Ye Xuan's voice sounded, Zhao Gou quickly entered the palace and saw Ye Xuan sitting cross-legged in the void. His body was emitting immortal light. This was also why he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Xuan.
"Junior Zhao Gou kowtows to senior."
In the face of Zhao Gou's humble attitude, Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Vicious and merciless. You killed your brother and father. You can be considered an ambitious person."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhao Gou smiled flatteringly. He did not dare to show the slightest trace of anger on his face. He just knelt on the ground and listened to Ye Xuan's teachings.
Buzz!
A white jade slip quietly appeared in front of Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou suspiciously caught it in his hand.
"This jade slip contains the materials I need. I don't care what method you use, but you must find them for me within ten years."
Zhao Gou did not dare to delay. He quickly checked the jade slip, but when he saw the materials recorded in the jade slip, his breathing stopped and his face became extremely bitter.
"Senior, this Ten Thousand Year Crystal Jade is easy to find, but this Outer Frost Iron is something that can only be found by chance. Junior …" Zhao Gou wanted to say something, but stopped. His face clearly showed that he was in a difficult position.
"Ten years. In ten years, I want you to gather all the materials. If I don't see these things in ten years, there is no need for you and your country to continue existing."
Ye Xuan said ruthlessly. Clearly, he was not just saying it for fun. If Zhao Gou could not gather all the materials, his country would be destroyed and he would die.
Zhao Gou had already experienced Ye Xuan's methods, and he deeply understood how terrifying Ye Xuan could be. This made Zhao Gou's forehead drip with cold sweat. He patted his chest and promised that he would gather all the materials for Ye Xuan.
Zhao Gou left in fear. Even the coronation ceremony was hastily held. Afterward, he mobilized the entire country to gather the materials for Ye Xuan.
The minor Holy Empire was, after all, just a mortal country. There were nine other countries spying on it, and they had been attacking each other for ten thousand years.
Ten years!
It was neither long nor short. In the eyes of immortals, ten years was just the blink of an eye. But to Zhao Gou, these ten years were extremely important.
He enslaved the common people, wantonly recruited soldiers, and started the War of the Ten Countries. In these ten years, the minor Holy Empire was completely immersed in a reign of terror. He mobilized the entire country to plunder the resources of other countries. For a time, Zhao Gou gained the title of a tyrant.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Gou went from a young man to a middle-aged man. But ten years of war made him shine with an iron-blooded killing intent. He had already grown into an emperor.
Using war to support war, slaughtering the world. In just ten years, under Zhao Gou's iron-blooded methods, a total of five countries were destroyed. He also obtained a large amount of precious materials.
On this day, ten years later, Zhao Gou once again came to pay a visit to Ye Xuan. He had also finally completed the task that Ye Xuan had given him.
"Senior, this junior did not disappoint you. I have finally gathered all the materials. Please inspect them."
Zhao Gou was wearing an emperor's robe. There was a large pile of materials behind him. Obviously, they were the result of his ten years of war. He had also spent a lot of effort. Now that he had finally completed the task, he felt relieved.
"You have done well." Ye Xuan waved his palm and fingers in the air. He directly put the materials for refining the Inverse Immortal Formation Diagram into the Sumeru Space. A blood-red light flashed across his eyes.
With these materials, he could reforge the Inverse Immortal Formation Diagram. This would also give him the means to fight against Daluo Jinxian.
"I will be in seclusion for a period of time. It may be a hundred years or a thousand years. If nothing major happens, today may be the last time we meet," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Go. Unless your descendants encounter a calamity that exterminates their clan, don't come here to disturb me."
Ye Xuan waved his sleeve and let Zhao Gou leave the palace. At the same time, Ye Xuan's palace was shrouded by clouds and mist, no longer visible as a mortal.
Zhao Gou bitterly smiled as he looked at the palace that was covered by clouds. He knew that his fate with Ye Xuan was over, but it was a good thing that he completed the mission Ye Xuan gave him. Moreover, with such an immortal-like figure overseeing the depths of the palace, it would be immeasurable for the small Holy Kingdom.
On this day, Zhao Gou issued an imperial edict, directly turning Ye Xuan's palace into a forbidden area. Regardless of the royal family or his descendants, only death awaited those who dared to step into the forbidden area.
A few officials and members of the royal family immediately broke out into discussion. They didn't know why Zhao Gou wanted to create such a forbidden area, but they naturally didn't dare to ask since it was an imperial edict.
