Fifteen kilometers away from Yan capital city, Yang Xuan placed down Yan Shixin on a mountain peak that reached into the clouds.
There were very few people here, and even monkeys would find it difficult to climb. He could see Yan capital city as far as the eye could see.
Yan Shixin stood against the mountain wind as his dragon robes ruffled loudly.
"Your majesty, what do you see from here?" Yang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, facing Yan capital city.
Yan Shixin raised his head when he heard that. He looked at Yan capital city and said, "I see Yan capital city."
Right now, he was filled with mixed feelings. He did not even refer to himself as emperor anymore.
Yang Xuan shook his head. "Why don't you look a little further, your majesty? What do you see now?"
Yan Shixin was taken aback when he heard that. His gaze swept past Yan capital city and into the distance.
He had never looked into the distance from such a high vantage point in his life. With a single glance, the vast landscape entered his eyes, and he immediately felt his mind expand. The dejection in his heart seemed to have been swept away.
"Master Yang, I see a picturesque landscape," Yan Shixin said.
Yang Xuan nodded, before turning to look at him with a faint smile. "Your Majesty, what if you set your sights a little further? What do you see? "
Yan Shixin gazed into the distance again, but unfortunately, his vision was not good enough. From afar, there was only a line between the sky and the earth.
His face was filled with mixed feelings. He looked at Yang Xuan and said, "Master Yang, although my vision is not good enough, it's already within the territory of the Northmoon Empire."
The direction they faced was the direction of the Northmoon Empire.
Yang Xuan smiled and shook his head. "No, your majesty. You're wrong."
Yan Shixin asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xuan said indifferently, "On Northmoon's side, thirty percent of the territory near my Yan capital already belongs to my Yan capital."
"What?" Yan Shixin cried out, "Thirty percent of the territory belongs to my Yan capital?"
He looked at Yang Xuan in disbelief. At that moment, he remembered why Yang Xuan had gone to the Sun empire.
Yang Xuan had suddenly appeared. He had yet to ask about the results of his trip.
"Not bad!" Yang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze landed extremely far away as he said indifferently, "It's not just thirty percent of Northmoon. There's also thirty percent of Sun Wheel and thirty percent of Gu Zhen. From now on, they all belong to me, Yan."
Rumble!
Yan Shixin felt as if there was a clap of thunder beside his ear, causing his entire body to turn numb. He couldn't even stand properly.
Although he did not have a clear idea of the size of these spheres of influence, he knew that the sum of the spheres of influence Yang Xuan had just mentioned was definitely several times larger than Yan's current sphere of influence.
In other words, Yang Xuan and his group had expanded Yan's territory by several times. This was simply a miracle.
"This … this … how is this possible?" Yan Shixin was dumbfounded. If these words were said by someone else, he would suspect that someone was lying to him.
"Your majesty, do you know why the three great empires can give me, Yan, such tremendous benefits?" Yang Xuan looked away and looked at Yan Shixin.
"W- why?" Yan Shixin had a vague guess, but he refused to believe it.
Yang Xuan smiled. He waved his hand gently, and there was a flash of light. Half of the huge mountain less than ten meters away from the two of them suddenly split into two. The fracture was as smooth as a mirror.
Yan Shixin stared at this miraculous sight in a daze. He murmured, "Don't tell me, master Yang, you've already reached the Three Flowers?"
However, Yang Xuan shook his head. "Your majesty, I'll be honest with you. I've already become a venerable."
Rumble!
There was another clap of thunder, exploding loudly in the depths of Yan Shixin's head. For a moment, even his mind blanked out.
Only quite a while later did he return to his senses. Disbelief filled his face as he stammered, "M- venerable? Master Yang, y- y- you're a venerable? "
Yang Xuan nodded. "That's right!"
After receiving his affirmation, Yan Shixin felt as if his worldview had collapsed. At this moment, he finally understood why the three great empires could give Yan Shixin so many benefits.
A Venerable One. The Yan Kingdom actually had a Venerable One.
He felt as if he was dreaming.
Yang Xuan did not say anything. He quietly waited for Yan Shixin to digest the news.
After a long while, Yan Shixin seemed to have digested the news. He let out a long sigh and suddenly bowed deeply to Yang Xuan. "Master Yang, I'm sorry!"
Yang Xuan knew what he meant. If he had known that Yang Xuan had become a venerable, he would not have had such thoughts.
"It's alright. It's human nature!" Yang Xuan said indifferently. Suddenly, he asked, "Your majesty, do you know how old I am?"
Yan Shixin was stunned. He did not understand why Ou Yangming would ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Venerable Yang, you're not even 20 years old."
After he finished speaking, he was stunned again. He felt as if he had grasped something important.
Yang Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. I'm not even 20 years old, but I'm already a Venerable One. Your Majesty, what do you think my achievements will be in the future?"
Yan Shixin was shocked.
He had become a Venerable One before he was 20 years old. His future achievements were immeasurable.
After being stunned for a long time, Yan Shixin let out a long sigh and bowed to Yang Xuan again. "Venerable Yang, I was wrong!"
Yang Xuan did not comment and continued, "That day, I asked His Highness the Crown Prince a question. If you become the king, what will happen to the Yang family? Do you know how His Highness the Crown Prince answered? "
Yan Shixin shook his head blankly. He indeed did not know that Yang Xuan had asked Yan Feiwen such a question.
"His Highness the Crown Prince answered that he would retire with the country and improve the mountains and rivers," Yang Xuan said.
Yan Shixin was stunned. 'Retire with the country and improve the mountains and rivers? He wants to protect the Yang family's wealth forever. But isn't he afraid …'
Yang Xuan ignored him and continued, "Your Majesty, do you know how I replied to the Crown Prince?"
Yan Shixin shook his head.
Yang Xuan looked into the distance. The clouds were lingering, and the mountains and rivers were faintly discernible. "I only replied to the Crown Prince with six words."
Yan Shixin's eyes were filled with curiosity. He really wanted to know what Yang Xuan had replied to the Crown Prince with six words.
Yang Xuan did not keep him in suspense. He said indifferently, "I replied to the Crown Prince with six words. The Yang family will never be the king."
Boom!
Yan Shixin understood. He understood everything.
The Yang family will never be the king!
These words came from Yang Xuan's mouth, so they carried a lot of weight. From now on, the Yan family could sit back and relax. They did not have to worry about the Yang family usurping the throne, nor did they have to worry about other people rebelling.
All of this was because of the existence of this young man in front of him. He was the youngest Supremacy.
In other words, if Yan Feiwen obtained the throne, the Yan family would be incomparably glorious and dominate a region. The Yan family would also flourish and last for generations.
What if it was him? What if he, Yan Shixin, was the king?
Yan Shixin smiled bitterly. At this moment, he finally understood Yang Xuan's heart.
He was destined not to stay in Yan for long. Yang Xuan's ambition was to rule the world and reach the peak of martial arts. As for Yan Shixin's actions …
Thinking about it from another perspective, if he was Yang Xuan, he would definitely not allow a ticking time bomb like him to exist behind him. In fact, if he was in Yang Xuan's position, not only would he chase him off the throne, but he would also kill him to prevent future troubles.
"Your Majesty, do you understand?" Yang Xuan did not look at Yan Shixin. Instead, he asked calmly.
Yan Shixin let out a long sigh and said, "I understand!"
Yang Xuan nodded and said, "If Yan Feiwen succeeds the throne, I'll guarantee 300 years of prosperity for the Yan family."
Yan Shixin's body trembled. 300 years of prosperity for the Yan family and a Supremacy's guarantee were not illusory.
After pondering for a long time, Yan Shixin finally seemed to have let go of something and felt relaxed.
At this moment, between the country and himself, he finally made the right choice.
At the same time, he was a little afraid. If he had stubbornly insisted on doing things his way, not only would he bring disaster to himself, the Yan family, and the Yan family.
He finally understood that at this moment, he had become the stumbling block that hindered the development of the Yan family.
He solemnly bowed to Yang Xuan and said, "Supremacy Yang, I understand. I was blinded by greed and made a mistake. I hope that you won't blame the Yan family."
He paused and said emotionally, "Supremacy Yang, I hope that you'll remember your promise and guarantee 300 years of glory for the Yan family."
"Of course!" Yang Xuan nodded.
Yan Shixin sighed again and smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect to almost become a sinner of the Yan family. It's a pity that I won't be able to see the glory of the Yan family."
Yang Xuan shook his head and smiled. "How can you not be able to see it, Your Majesty?"
Yan Shixin was stunned. He looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "Supremacy Yang, you won't kill me?"
Yang Xuan could not help but laugh. "I was going to kill you, but I don't want to anymore. You can just be a retired emperor and watch how the Great Yan Empire prospers."
Before he finished, Yan Shixin had already bowed deeply to him. He was sincerely convinced.
At this moment, all the strange thoughts in his heart disappeared. From now on, he kept Yang Xuan's words in his heart and really became a retired emperor. He would not interfere in any of the affairs of the Yan family. He also handed over all the power in his hands to Yang Xuan and lived deep in the harem. Until the end of his life, he did not have the slightest intention of disobeying Yang Xuan.
"I believe that Your Majesty has already made a decision. Let's go back." Yang Xuan said.
"Supremacy Yang, Zhang Qi was not the only one from the Cold Mountain Sect who came here. There were four Xiantian Masters who came with him." Yan Shixin thought of something and said.
"Dead!" Yang Xuan's tone was calm as if he was talking about something very normal.
Yan Shixin was not surprised and continued, "Zhang Qi once said that there was a Supremacy in the Cold Mountain Sect. He seemed to be Gan Tingjun's master. I hope that Supremacy Yang will be careful."
"It's fine. After this matter is over, my first destination is the Cold Mountain Sect." Yang Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
As long as the matter of the Cold Mountain Sect was not resolved, he would not be at ease.
