Ji Haodian looked at Su Xin and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Actually, ever since Ji Haodian felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, his mood had always been very gloomy.
Especially when the princes fought for power last time, they went too far and did not put him in their eyes. This made Ji Haodian extremely angry.
Only today, when Su Xin gave him the white jade tablet that contained the mystery of longevity, did Ji Haodian's mood improve a little. There was also some hope in his heart.
He did not expect himself to be able to live for more than ten thousand years like those True Martial Realm experts in the ancient times. With his current situation, even if he could live for another ten years, it would be a shocking joy for Ji Haodian.
Therefore, Ji Haodian was prepared to reward Su Xin handsomely, a very big reward!
Actually, Ji Haodian had always been quite satisfied and appreciated Su Xin. The reason was very simple, it was because this young man knew the rules and had the ability.
From Ji Haodian's point of view, as long as his subjects could meet these two requirements, Ji Haodian did not care about anything else.
Only those who knew the rules could be used by him. Only those who had the ability were qualified to become a subject of the Zhou Kingdom. As for the rest, such as character and character, were these things important? At the very least, they were meaningless to Ji Haodian.
Back then, the first time Ji Haodian knew about Su Xin was because he was the young man that the Tie family was mainly nurturing.
Ji Haodian knew the rules of the Tie family. They were quite impartial. For the Tie family to spend so much effort to nurture an outsider, one could imagine how great his potential was.
It was precisely because of this that Ji Haodian gave the task of obtaining the Human Emperor's Sword in the Kunlun Mystic Realm to Su Xin. And Su Xin also completed the task perfectly. This made Ji Haodian very satisfied.
Moreover, after the matter was settled, Su Xin knew the rules very well. All the rewards were decided by Ji Haodian. This allowed Ji Haodian to have a new understanding of Su Xin and was ready to help him. Therefore, the Four Great Super Arresters fell on Su Xin's head.
Moreover, Su Xin did not disappoint him. Not long after, Su Xin gave him a big gift. This made Ji Haodian feel proud. He had not chosen the wrong person back then.
During the rise of the Zhou Kingdom in the past, Tie Ao, the Divine Eagle of the Six Doors, and Lin Zongyue, the Mighty General of the military, were all people he had discovered with his discerning eyes. Now that he thought about it, his judgment was indeed correct.
Although he was old now, his foresight had not deteriorated. He was still able to discover a talent like Su Xin.
Ji Haodian had always been very accurate in judging people. Su Xin was a very ambitious and restless person.
In other words, if he had been well-behaved, he would not have caused so much trouble in the Jianghu.
However, it did not matter if he was ambitious. Which official of the Zhou Kingdom did not have ambition? Which official did not want to control more power?
It was actually very simple to want these things. As long as you could establish a foothold like Su Xin, that would be enough.
Ji Haodian was actually very generous sometimes. As long as you could show your value, then Ji Haodian would give you everything you deserved.
It was also because of this that the Zhou Kingdom was able to gather talents from all over the world in a few decades. It surpassed the former Great Jin and became a dynasty that suppressed the Jianghu.
Looking at Su Xin, Ji Haodian said with a smile, "Su Xin, you did well this time. Tell me, what do you want? I can satisfy you."
For an emperor with a strong desire for control, Ji Haodian would never have said such words in the past. Even if he had said it, it would have been just to test him.
However, this time, Ji Haodian's words were sincere. The contributions that Su Xin had made were also worthy of such a reward.
Everyone present was an old man who had followed Ji Haodian for decades. They naturally knew whether Ji Haodian's words were sincere or not.
Therefore, everyone looked at Su Xin with slight envy. As long as Su Xin's request was not too greedy, Ji Haodian would definitely agree to it.
The Zhou Kingdom had a deep foundation. There were some things that even existences in the Yang God Realm like them coveted. If Su Xin asked for it now, Ji Haodian would definitely agree to it. That was why everyone was a little envious.
However, at this time, Su Xin did not care about their gazes, because the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Main Quest: Jianghu Giant (2)
Quest Description: I am the only one in the world who kills people. When is it someone else's turn to kill me?
Destroy Qingcheng Sword School within half a year. Quest Reward: 5,000 Villain Points, three random four-star or above lottery draws.
Quest Penalty: Randomly forget three martial arts techniques with less than 90% proficiency, and will not be given a primary lottery draw within half a year. "
The moment Su Xin heard the announcement of this Main Quest, he immediately laughed in his heart. This Main Quest really came at the right time.
In fact, even without the system's quest, Su Xin was prepared to take action against Qingcheng Sword School.
It should be said that ever since Su Xin killed Cen Weizhuang and the others in the Nine Sword Pavilion, Su Xin had been preparing to take action against Qingcheng Sword School.
Including the fact that he handed the white jade slate to Ji Haodian, he was also preparing for all of this.
The system's main quest could be considered to be at the right time. It could allow Su Xin to earn more Villain Points and rewards.
However, the half-year deadline was a little tricky. After all, Qingcheng Sword School was one of the Five Sword Sects. Since the system said to destroy the school, he had to destroy it completely.
Therefore, Su Xin also had to prepare for a period of time. He wanted to completely complete the plan within half a year, and then directly destroy Qingcheng Sword School, which had been passed down for thousands of years!
The system only issued the quest for a moment, and these thoughts only went through Su Xin's mind for a moment. Therefore, to outsiders, Su Xin was only thinking for a moment, thinking about what reward he wanted from Ji Haodian.
When Su Xin raised his head again, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm doing this for the Zhou Kingdom. For Your Majesty, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to ask for the reward.
However, I have a plan. If I can complete it, the Zhou Kingdom will definitely obtain great benefits and great prestige. It will be enough to restore the glory of the Zhou Kingdom when it was founded and deter the many thieves in the Pugilistic World! "
Everyone was stunned. No one had expected Su Xin to say such a thing.
What plan? What was Su Xin trying to do?
Ji Haodian was also stunned and said, "What is your plan?"
Su Xin raised his head and said word by word, "It's very simple. Destroy Qingcheng Sword School, turn the Five Sword Sects into the Four Sword Sects, and use the blood of a top sect to restore the glory of the imperial court!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at Su Xin as if they were looking at a madman. Did he know what he was talking about?
Could Qingcheng Sword School, one of the Five Sword Sects, be destroyed so easily? Although the strength of Qingcheng Sword School had always been ranked at the bottom or at most in the middle among the Five Sword Sects, it was still a top martial arts sect with more than three warriors in the Yang God Realm.
To be honest, Zhou Guoguo actually had the strength to destroy Qingcheng Sword School.
As an imperial court that had dominated the martial arts world, if it could not even destroy Qingcheng Sword School, then Zhou Guoguo was too useless.
However, a top force was not a pig, a dog, a cow, or a sheep. Once you displayed strength that completely surpassed the other party, they would just stand there and let you kill them.
Even though Qingcheng Sword School had lost Cen Weizhuang, it still had four experts in the Yang God Realm. Moreover, its leader, Li Changhai, the Nine Origin Perfected Lord, still had the Divine Weapon, Solipsism.
An existence in the Yang God Realm with a Divine Weapon would almost have the combat strength of a Real Martial Realm expert. In this way, the strength of Qingcheng Sword School would rise to another level.
Facing such a powerful Qingcheng Sword School, if Zhou Guoguo insisted on destroying it, there would definitely be some damage in the process, and it might even hurt its vitality.
Most importantly, the enemy that Zhou Guoguo had to face was not just Qingcheng Sword School. There were also other sects in the martial arts world.
Once Zhou Guoguo hurt the vitality of Qingcheng Sword School, and other sects took this opportunity to secretly play tricks, then even if Zhou Guoguo really destroyed Qingcheng Sword School, it would not be worth it.
It was also because of this that when Zhou Guoguo forced Great Jin into the current Eastern Jin more than 20 years ago and wanted to suppress the martial arts world, the major sects did not appear, and Zhou Guoguo did not attack those top forces. This was actually a delicate balance.
None of the major martial arts forces dared to provoke Zhou Guoguo. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out will be shot. If Zhou Guoguo was angry, with their strength, they would definitely not be able to resist the attack of Zhou Guoguo at its peak.
At the same time, Zhou Guoguo did not dare to easily destroy those top forces. Otherwise, once its vitality was damaged, and other top martial arts forces took this opportunity to unite, it would be a nightmare for Zhou Guoguo.
Therefore, during the time when Zhou Guoguo was established, although Zhou Guoguo had destroyed countless sects and even many first-class sects, there was no top force among them.
Moreover, other martial arts forces did not take the initiative to provoke Zhou Guoguo. Of course, the White Lotus Sect was an exception to that.
This was the balance between Zhou Guoguo and the top martial arts forces in the martial arts world. For such a long time, almost no one broke it, and no one dared to break it. After all, after a war between two top forces, the losses would be shocking.
Moreover, Zhou Guoguo's concerns were not limited to this. The imperial court had always been the target of these martial arts forces.
Back when Zhou Guoguo was established, the martial arts forces were the most wary of Zhou Guoguo. At that time, if Zhou Guoguo made any big moves, it would cause the entire martial arts world to talk about it, causing more than ten top forces to unite to resist Zhou Guoguo.
Now, more than 20 years had passed, and they had more or less understood the actual situation of Zhou Guoguo. In this delicate balance, no one would do such a thing.
However, the Five Swordsmanship Sects were all swordsmanship sects after all. Although they usually competed with each other, if one of them was in trouble, the Five Swordsmanship Sects would definitely join forces even if the other Jianghu factions did not intervene.
With the current strength of Zhou Guoguo, if they wanted to resist the alliance of the Five Sword Sects, it would no longer be a matter of fear. Instead, it would be very difficult.
