Princess Cang Die had ascended the throne and become the first empress of the Cang Family in thousands of years!
No one in the Cang Family objected to this. Some dissenting voices were also eliminated by the Great General of the Dragon Warriors and Prime Minister Hua Ling. Power and glory were important, but more importantly, one needed to be alive to enjoy them! Moreover, even without considering the Demon Race, the ministers of both civil and military factions were all disciples of the Great General of the Dragon Warriors and Prime Minister Hua Ling. Even if they went up, they would not have the opportunity to wield power. They would just be puppets, eating, drinking, playing, and sitting on the dragon throne to their heart's content. This was still a good ending. Puppets couldn't control their own fate. Perhaps one day, they would lose their lives.
Chu Rui returned to Azure Water City, but Goudan 'er wasn't there. Because of him, Goudan' er was now a deputy general of an army and was highly regarded. Who didn't know about Chu Rui from the previous battle? He was simply a demon king. The Azure Water Emperor's bloodline had fallen into his hands.
Cang Hun, the ancestor of the Cang Family, was an extremely powerful cultivator. In the end, he was crippled and fell into the hands of Princess Cang Die, no, Empress Cang Die now. No one knew what happened to him. However, from then on, Cang Hun no longer appeared in the world. If he wasn't killed, he would be imprisoned for life.
"What? You're saying that the three Holy Lands and the other two Great Empires will come to Azure Water City soon? "
In the back garden of the imperial palace, the Great General of the Dragon Warriors and Prime Minister Hua Ling were the two pillars of the empire. They were used to seeing countless storms and waves. At this moment, they were so excited by Chu Rui's indifferent words that they jumped up on their butts. Empress Cang Die, who was sitting in the pavilion, widened her eyes and opened her red lips. She was also frightened. As for the Azure Water Inner Minister beside her, Prime Minister Hua Ling's daughter, Hua Rou 'er, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out.
Back then, the first generation ancestor of the Cang Family, Cang Mo, had swept through the world and destroyed a dozen countries. He gathered the territories of these countries together and formed the current Azure Water Empire. They had become one of the three great empires of this continent, and their martial prowess was so great that even the three Holy Lands did not dare to casually challenge them.
However, at the end of the day, the three Holy Lands were high and mighty. Even the three great empires did not dare to offend them. Back then, even Cangmo didn't dare. Now that the Canglan Empire's situation was deteriorating, it was even less of a match for the three Holy Lands. But now, Chu Rui was saying that not only the three Holy Lands, but even those arrogant, arrogant, and legendary experts would come. That wasn't the main point. The main point was that they were here for an audience!
"I'm going to help my younger brother build a force. They're his underlings!"
Chu Rui's indifferent words almost made the two men and two women present, two big and two small, beat him up at the same time. Such a big event, don't make it sound so easy, okay?
"Don't worry, no matter what, my younger brother is from Canglan Nation. I won't let him do anything else. This power is somewhat similar to the three Holy Lands. They won't clash with the country. "
"In the name of the Canglan Emperor, I'm willing to join your — younger brother's — new force."
Suddenly, Cang Die stood up and looked at Chu Rui with a determined gaze.
Chu Rui frowned, a trace of admiration flashing through his eyes. The Great General of the Dragon Warriors and Prime Minister Hua Ling opened their mouths, but nothing came out. They had already tacitly agreed. As for Hua Rou 'er, although she was very valiant in internal affairs, she was still a gentle little girl. She wouldn't speak in this kind of situation.
"If that's the case, very good!"
Chu Rui was silent for a long time before speaking. When he spoke, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Because this meant that he had accepted. Wasn't this very comical and laughable? A country was begging to join a new force that had yet to be established. Moreover, the leader of this force was their citizen, who used to be a small hunter on a small mountain. It sounded absurd, but it was the truth. This force had nothing, but as long as they had him, this young man standing in front of them, it was enough.
"You will realize in the future that this is the wisest choice you've made."
Chu Rui admired smart people, and he admired smart and courageous people even more. Without a doubt, although Empress Cang Die was young, she was such a person.
"I am willing to offer Navy Tide Nation, or Navy Tide Nation will offer Young Hero … Young Hero Goudan 'er as our master!"
However, Princess Cang Die's words were not going to stop until they were shocked to death. She threw out another heavy bomb. Not to mention the Great General of the Dragon Warriors and Prime Minister Hua Ling, even Chu Rui's pupils unconsciously shrank slightly. Looking at the incomparably beautiful girl in front of him, whose face was young but carried a trace of an emperor's aura, his heart wavered slightly.
"What is your request?"
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Although Chu Rui had the absolute advantage, he wasn't so stupid as to let Cang Die pay such a huge price without asking for anything. However, just based on her courage, as long as it wasn't too excessive, he could satisfy her.
"Before this, I want to ask, to what extent has your strength reached?"
A glimmer of hope flashed across Cang Die's eyes. As an unparalleled genius since young, she had been completely subdued by Chu Rui in the battle half a month ago. She wanted to know how big the gap between them was.
"Well, to be honest, it's quite difficult to explain. Moreover, I really want to know now."
Chu Rui stroked his chin and gave an answer that almost made the four of them collapse.
"However, if you want to describe it, I only need to use one-tenth of my strength to easily wipe out the Navy Tide Empire!"
The four of them were instantly stunned. One-tenth of his strength was enough to wipe out the Navy Tide Empire. Wipe out, not destroy. Although the Navy Tide Empire would disappear in the end, destroying and wiping out were two completely different concepts.
"Bullsh * t!"
A small mumble sounded very high-pitched in this silent atmosphere.
Chu Rui turned his head and saw Hua Rou 'er's shocked face. She was covering her mouth as she secretly looked at him. The expression in her starry eyes was as pitiful as a puppy's! Under such circumstances, even if Chu Rui was almost immune to cute things, it was indeed difficult for him to resist her charms. This girl was practically committing a crime when she was cute!
With a faint smile, Chu Rui flicked his finger. A wisp of Nether Genesis Qi shot out from his finger and landed on a palace in the back garden. Under the gazes of Cang Die, Hua Rou 'er and the two civil and military pillars, the palace disappeared in an instant!
This wasn't a trick!
The four of them rubbed their eyes crazily, and rubbed their eyes with all their might. They realized that the silent but creepy thing just now was not a dream, nor was it a hallucination. Instantly, the way they looked at Rui, changed!
